Hello everyone welcome to T my name is sa s before starting the Hindu newspaper analysis discussion today let me wish all the upsc aspirants out there a very happy Republic Day on this very day 26 January in the year 1950 official especially Civil Service examination with this let us start our the Hindu
Newspaper analysis today right Mar let us look at the first article of our discussion today that is why is there no snowfall in Kashmir one of the most important articles appeared in the Hindu newspaper today relevant to GS paper one of our examination geography if you really want to acknowledge your
Efforts please do hit that big fat like button explanation theice and trust me you will be witnessing one of the best content relevant to upsc from states that is my guarantee right without any further delay Rec in the last month that is December I boarded my flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport Hyderabad
On 27th December 2023 and I came back to Hyderabad on 5th January 2024 but to my surprise what happened was there was completely no snowfall in Kashmir we visited places like shagar pahalgam sonar gulmar Etc but all those places were completely deserted and some of my friends asked me what
Exactly was the reason I simply stated global warming and climate change are two important things that are affecting the ongoing weather patterns usual weather patterns and Japan but to my surprise in today’s the Hindu newspaper Kashmir ladak Himachal Pradesh UT dedicated article along with the so-called global warming and climate change they also
Stated some other factors influencing snowfall in India the first question that we need to ask ourselves is Sir why do we need snowfall in in the first place why do we need snowfall lack of snowfall in the upper Himalayas will definitely have severe consequences on India and our economy at large first important
Thing next is a very vulnerable place it’s a very important strategic location 2019 government article 37 what the government stated as its reason there is poty when there is no development OPP the in the higher TR water stre will feed Rivers like G ET the summer and also
Lem so that is the reason why snowfall in Kashmir ladak him Pradesh utak in the higher tracks of Himalayas are very very very important but unfortunately very unfortunately soall is nothing but a precipitation but for the to exist we need two important things one is moisture in the atmosphere precipitation lower
Temperatures lack of Mo three important what exactly are these reasons Western disturb Western disturbances are cyclonic storms that arise in the med stor and they play very important role very pivotal role in causing winter rainfall in the Northwestern part of India Punjab harana and dantu Delhi region existing condition the prevailing
Conditions an abnormal condition that happens because of the abnormal raise in washing temperatures at you know Southern Southern Pacific region and third important reason change in the direction ofet streamset streams altitude andere they actually play very important for Western disturb as well Western distest to East streams but streams towards so with
This we need to look at the context of this particular article and next what exactly were the reasons behind the lack of snowfall in Kashmir and the role of Western disturbances and the effect of elino and the effect of just streams PR so first up look at the context of this particular
Artic most prominent tourist destinations like distur prevailing conditions third so what exactly are the reasons for the lack of snowfall in Kashmir Himachal utak and lak so snowfall snowfall is a type of precipitation and waves what are the factors contributing to lack of snowfall one is drastic fall in Western disturbances Northwestern India
Winter disturbances cyclonic storms around 5 to and second prevailing elino conditions elino condition is actually an abnormal condition and that affects rainfall in India Indian Monsoon impact reason for the lack of snowfall in these regions and absence of a strong streams as well streams were one of the most important
Reasons for the movement of Western disturbances from west to east just streams they are Strong Reas there was complet lack of moisture in the air and since there is complete lack of moisture in the air so there was complete lack of snowfall even though there was enough temperatures supporting snowfall so now let us look at the effect of Western disturbances on the
Lack of snowfall in kmir what exactly are these Western disturbances in the first place Western disturbances are extratropical cyclonic storms these are cyclonic storms and they’re extratropical in nature the region of trops ofan median Black Sea and Caspian Sea Water surface temp strong moistur winds and Western disturbances in
Because they flow from west to east west to east because of jet streams flow from west to east jet streams West to easts are actually high speed wind Curr so mid latitude regions subtropical regions start around median region and they bring rain to northern part of India these wind
Curr northern part ofia Northwestern part of rainf these Western disturbances around the regions of punjana typically usually during December to January 5 to s western disturb storms there was complete lack of in the so these winter crop in the northern part of India crops witer saw a drastic fall in the number
Of no Western disturbances impacting the Western Himalayan region with 80% less than normal lack of Western disturbances second important Reon 2023 eny it is actually an abnormal condition of raising wasik temperatures in the equatorial Pacific region so Australia due to differentiated heating of the Earth warm flow from east to
West because of Trade Winds Trade Winds West that is how Curr work right warm water Australian since there is low pressure there will be heavy rainfall in the Australian coast Australian coast rainfall and you know Western Pacific Co rainf that eventually causes rainfall in the Indian subcontinent region as well conditions
AAL is an abnormal condition that causes heavy rainfall in some regions RF the western coast of South America whereas Australia and dantu Southeast Asian region and dantu Indian subcontinent region the region one of the important reason for the lack of snowfall in Kashmir ladak utak Himachal Pradesh warmer washing temperatures may have
Contributed to lack of snowfall particular because of the change in the direction ofet streamset streams we the streams no there are no very fast moving winds in the upper altitudes no the flow from west to east conditions next so now let us look at the effect of jet streams jet
Streams very powerful winds at 250 to 320 km and 12 K sea lude they very narrow fast moving and they also form due to differential heating of the earth so will be different packets of air masses warmes form jet streams and they usually from west to east why
Because of the rotation of the earth west to east and carriers of Western disturbances Western disturb they contribute to the subsidence of cold air and enhancing cold over Northern India northern part of these streams traditionally araban toobing emerging reset suggest a link in warming of the Arctic seas affecting temperature
Gradient and jet stream strength temperature gradi so temp po regions and equator regions temperature difference so higher the temperature gradient higher will be the pressure gradient asure differ of the there will be four important very very difficult very easy to understand do comment in the comment section below so explained very very right
From four four streams two poets two subtropical jet streams subop so three important reasons for the lack of rainfall in Kashmir Himel ladak and and you can clearly expect a Mains question from this particular topic for sure this is very extraordinary situation you can definitely question from this particular
Top this is all about this particular topic and without any further delay Hindu analis next arle discuss the Hindu analis reclaiming the Republic and the Constitution one of the most important articles appeared in the Hindu newspaper today relevant to GS paper 2 polity and governance article one of the most important articles
Again this op article was actually authored by a social activist named Aruna and another social activist named nikel day so some key insights into the dilution of constitutional values in India not me but the others are saying there is actually an undermining of constitutional ideals or con values happening
In today January 26 2024 we are celebrating 74th Republic Day of our nation I hope you all know that repu Republic marks the enforcement of Indian Constitution if you closely look at the pream of the Constitution of India pref of our it states that India is Sovereign that means we can make or unmake any kind of decision on our own all these decisions we have taken on our own that is what actually is the meaning
Of sovereign nature of a state and socialist though this word socialist was added through 42nd Constitutional Amendment act which is know con our constitutional principles they actually Express the Socialist nature of our govern but still the original constitution of various Provisions different religious minorities linguistic minorities prote our constitution has maintained an
Adequate space for the diversity of the nation to accommodate to acknowledge the diversity of the nation we announced our country as secular Nation it gave emphasis to religion whereas India secular principles to secular foundations secular ideas we never announced our country as aind the majority religion those times no 70% of the
Population but still relective of gender and India became public the enforcement of the Constitution we never had any hereditary head J and what exactly was the basis for this Preamble of our constitution objective result aded by theti committee what objectives that we are going to fulfill through the newly enacted
Constitution want to make Sovereign socialist secular Democratic Republic and they want to build Justice they want to give Liberty they want to provide equality they want to you know establish fraternity they want to promote fraternity brother issues and problems there is actually a state sponsored spectacle undermining constitutional values
Government the majority Rel of the country and promoting one single religion in a secular Nation like indues and because in the year 1947 in the month of augusts Pakistan but India on the other hand forefather they never dreamt India as a Theocratic Nation they actually want to
Form they want want to build the future of India on on the basis of secular values secular IDE just because they choose secular values India though with this muchers different different groups of people of our IND the foundational principles that our forefathers has chosen so the others of this articles know both
ARA and Nik what they are saying not me they are saying that some actions by the incent government the present government at the center the present government’s agenda of making this nation unidimensional it is a threat to secular principles or constitutional values the present government the present political party at the [Applause]
Center they want to create all throughout India and they’re trying to erode or undermine diverse cultural practices in India different cultural practic and they’re politically imposing hind on the people of India and they’re actually trying to centralize everything that centralization is neglecting the rich Legacy of Indian
Culture they trying to emphasize on one One Market one color one election one language and one official religion and they are also trying to centralize the Norms in the majority religion as well that is the Hindu religions Let me Give an example to simplify this centralization part so religion Hindu centralization for
Example southern part of India southern part of India there never was an emphasis on Lord religious religious Customs Hindu religion custom the northern practice that is worshiping know giving emphasing Lord and Lord narrative politics describing Modi as vuru using es like and they trying to flatten or dilute multi-dimensional imagination of
The nation as well singular celebration of diversity for examp there were different forms of R exist all across India but type ofar type of you know centralization of religion know trying to forcefully politically imposing some norms and all some parts ofia like southern part ofia clear emphasis on for diversity of the nation
Space for all the diversities for example article 25 Article 28 different religions which are part of part three of the Constitution Article 29 article our recognized cultural religious lifestyle differences in how Indians lead their lives progress built on objectives of Tolerance and solidity that actually played a very important role in uniting
India were many prophets of expts schal schol we can no longer uned IND Dr BR edar he emphasized on economic and social equality religion is not you know religion shouldn’t be given social stat the second president of our India rrishna is a democratic and eal pledge critical for India’s future
