UPSE Main exam. GS paper III

D. Internal Security
Security is one of the most interesting topics that one comes across during preparation for the main exam. The best source for preparing for the mains exam is the newspaper. This topic has convergence with other GS Papers as well. This year even had an essay of 125 marks from this topic (Manage- ment of Indian Border Disputes - a complex task). .Therefore, a holistic prepara- tion of this part of the syllabus is crucial for success in the exam.

. TOPIC 1 :--------------
Linkages between •development and spread of extremism
Issues like lack olefficient governance, poverty and unemployment with the
consequence of rising extremism, particularly left-wing extremism, are some of the topics that need to be explored.
Example: The persisting drives of the government for development of large
industries in backward areas have resulted in isolating the tribal population and
farmers whö face multiple displacements with Malkangiri and Naxalbari foci.
Discuss the corrective strategies. (Mains 2015)
TOPIC 2 :----------------
Role of external state and non-state actors in creating challenges to internal security
This.topic includes the role of external state actors like China (border issue), Pakistan (border issue, terrorism), Bangladesh (illegal immigrants), etc.; and external non-state actors such as terrorist organisations, mafias, human trafficking rackets, etc., in creating challenges to the internal security of India.Problems, issues, solutions and the way forward — all factors have to be
taken into account while studying this topic.
Example:
e Give a brief description of CPEC and enumerate the reasons why India
has distanced itself from the same: (Mains 2018)
• ne terms 'Hot Pursuit' and 'Surgical Strikes' are often used in connec-
tion With armed action against terrorist attacks. Discuss. (Mains 2016)
TOPIC 3 :--------
Challenges to internal security through communication net-
works, the role of media and social networking sites in internal security challenges; basics of cyber security; money-laundering and its prevention The first part deals With issues like riots and instances of lynching that is the consequence of circulation of false information in social networking sites like WhatsApp, Facebook; and how fake news create challenges
internal security.
The second part includes the basics of cyber secuxity, Also, the issue of money laundetång and the ways for its prevention forms a significant part of this topic. The government has recently introduced a number of steps to prevent money laundering, like amendments to the Prevention of Money-laun- dering Act, 2002 (PMLA) through Finance Act 2018, to widen its scope. Students should be well versed with these issues.
Example:
• Discuss the potential threats of cyber attack and the security framework to prevent it. (Mains 2017)
• Use of internet and social media by nonstate actors for subversive activities is a major concern. How have these been misused? (Mains 2016).
TOPIC 4
Security challenges and their management in border areas; link-
ages of organised crime with terrorism
The {opic specifically deals with the management of border areas Of India and the challenges associated with it. It also deals with the linkage of orgnised crimes like drug trafficking (Punjab border), human trafficking (Bengal border), kidnapping (Kashmir border), etc., and their linkage with terrorist activities,
Example:
• Border management is a complex task due to difficult terrain and hostile
relations with some countries. Elucidate. (Mains 2016)
• flow does illegal trans-border migration pose a threat to India's security ? (Mains 2014)
•TOPIC 5
Various security forces and a licence and their mandate
The topic deals with the study of Various security forces (both external and internal,such as the Indian Army, Indian •Navy, Indian Air Force,
CAPE (intelligence agencies like RAW, Indian police Services; etc,

What is thyroid eye disease ? thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), thyroid orbitopathy, Graves’ orbitopathy or Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) ? Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an eye condition that causes the muscles and soft tissues in and around your eye socket to swell. It usually happens when you have a problem with your thyroid gland. It may also be called thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), thyroid orbitopathy, Graves’ orbitopathy or Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). The ocular manifestation of thyroid eye diseases are manifolds. They may be present as thyrotoxicosis, lid retrac- tion, soft tissue involvement, proptosis and optic neuropathy.         The Thyrotoxicosis (Graves dis- eases)         Usually present with 3rd to 4thdecades of life, women are mostly effected than the men with involvement organ specific autoimmune disorders. Thyroid eye diseases may be present as a simple eye disco...

Who discovered electron ? How to discovered electron ? What is cathode ray discharge tube ? What is cathode ray and cathode ray particles ? | Inorganic chemistry | Chemistry.

                Inorganic chemistry | Chemistry   Discovery of Electron                   In 1830, Michael Faraday showed that if electricity is passed through a solution of an electrolyte, chemical reactions occurred at the electrodes, which resulted in the liberation and deposition of matter at the electrodes. These results suggested the particulate nature of electricity.           In mid 1850s many scientists mainly Faraday began to study electrical discharge in partially evacuated tubes, known as cathode ray discharge tubes . A cathode ray tube is made of glass containing two thin pieces of metal, called electrodes, sealed in it. The electrical discharge through the gases could be observed only at very low pressures and at very high voltages. The pressure of different gases could be adjusted by evacuation of the glass tubes. When sufficiently high vo...

              Inorganic Chemistry |Chemistry   Discovery of Protons and Neutrons           Electrical discharge carried out in the modified cathode ray tube led to the discovery of canal rays and anode rays carrying positively charged particles. The characteristics of these positively charged particles are listed below.      (i) Unlike cathode rays, mass of positively charged particles depends upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube. These are simply the positively charged gaseous ions.       (ii) The charge to mass ratio of the particles depends on the gas from which these originate.       (iii) Some of the positively charged particles carry a multiple of the fundamental unit of electrical charge.      (iv) The behaviour of these particles in the magnetic or electrical field is opposite to that observed for electron or cathode rays. ...

Monetary Policy of Malaysia

-
  Monetary Policy in Malaysia             Prior to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the Malaysian ringgit was an internationalized currency, which was freely traded around the world. Just before the crisis, the Ringgit was traded RM2.50 at the dollar. Due to speculative activities, the Ringgit fell as much as RM5.00 to the dollar in matter of weeks. Bank Negara Malaysia, the nation's central banks decided to impose capital controls to prevent the outflow of the Ringgit in the open market. The Ringgit is not traded internationally, a traveller needs to declare to the central bank if taking out more than RM10,000 out of the country and the Ringgit itself was pegged at RM3.80 to the US dollar. The fixed change rate was abandoned to floating exchange rate in July 2005, hours after People's Republic of China announced the same move. At this point, the Ringgit is still not internationalized. The Ringgit continue to strengthen to 3.18 to the dollar in March 2...

Architecture and Sculpture Assam has a rich heritage of architecture and sculpture from ancient times. The manuscripts or inscriptions, remains of temples or shrines and old mementoes remind us the rich legacy of these art forms. The stone gate of Do-parbotia at Sonitpur is the example of oldest architecture discoveree till now. We find the es- sence of early Gupta era architecture in this gate.                         Umachal Silalipi discovered on Nilachal hills at Guwahati is the oldest inscription found till date. Many palaces or me- mentoes were built in ancient Kamrup under the auspices of various royal dynasties. Most of them got ruined with the passage of time.
