******?️***One of the purest emotions is …

**?️One of the purest emotions is genuine appreciation for someone who surpasses you. In life's dark moments, feeling true happiness for a friend's success is priceless?*.

⚜️Dear rankers, if you have such people in your life, cherish them. This hype fades, but true support endures. Your circles will naturally shift – that's growth. But when those who supported you face darkness, be their light, however small. It means the world to them. Let us all make this nation a better place to live because koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota hai- you know the rest....?

To the person who inspires this message: You are not alone. I respect your privacy, but I promise a day in the future where things look bright again, at least I will try?. This post is my testament, a reminder for us both when you are okay again..

This is dedicated to all fighters amongst us. Thank you for inspiring me. Your story will be shared when the time is right. Until then, let us work in silence- it defines us?

Sincerely, VK***

**Gs-2 : IR- UNSC resolutions on GAZA

?️Context:** The Israel-Palestine Conflict

⚡️Mains question : Role of the UN: Are UN mechanisms effective in resolving complex conflicts with powerful players involved? What alternative approaches could be explored?

⚠️ISSUES

1. International Law vs. Realpolitik- UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding on member states (including Israel and Palestine). However, the Council has limited power to enforce these resolutions. Powerful nations within the Council (like the US) can block or weaken action, undermining international law.

2. The Limitations of the Resolution: The resolution focuses on humanitarian aid, not core issues fueling the conflict. Israel may use loopholes in the wording to continue restricting aid access..

**✅Gs-3 : Internal security/ Gs-2 : IR- Grey zone warfare
⚠️*WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THIS?*
⚜️Understanding grey zone warfare is critical for civil service aspirants who will potentially shape or respond to national security and foreign policy strategies. It requires a comprehensive approach to national security, combining military readiness with economic, cyber, and diplomatic tools

******✅***Gs-2 : Education-*** [***Full Article link***](https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/striking-the-wrong-chords-in-education/article67884942.ece) …

**✅Gs-2 : Education- Full Article link *?️What is the question that you need to focus on ? - Interim budget slashes the allocation to higher education by 16.8% with the UGC taking a major cut of over 60%. At the same time, funds have been allocated to the HEFA which aims to enhance infrastructure through loans. ⚠️Is it a worrying trend for public education in India to increase dependence on loans?- I answered this previously on this blog : Lessons from US Student Debt : On Foreign universities entering India Important point : Incheon declaration- on primary education- The NEP aimed for equitable and quality education with a targeted allocation of 6% of the nation's GDP* to education. However, the actual allocation is around 2.8% of GDP, suggesting a retreat from these goals.However since this is an interim Budget- we should see the overall trend of allocation to education over last few years than just this budget alone- IMP article

**✅Gs-2 : Criminal Justice system- Bail law reform - Already discussed- click here*➡️Why is this article different than previous one- The previous articles focussed on the " WHAT" aspect of bail- i.e. What is the issue- This article is talking about JURISPRUDENCE- meaning- "WHY"- i.e. the MORAL REASONING- which is very important for ethics paper.
