We think of the internet's "cloud" as an invisible, limitless space. But in reality, what very physical bottleneck threatens India's ambition to become a global AI and cloud hub?
What happens when our endless digital lives start consuming more electricity and water than our actual cities?

Key Environment Terms


Borealisation:

Borealisation refers to the expansion of temperate species, both terrestrial and marine, into Arctic polar regions.

This phenomenon is also influenced by climate change, with warming temperatures allowing temperate species to extend their range into formerly colder areas.

Agni-4 Ballistic Missile (MRBM) successfully test-fired from Chandipur.

The missile has two stages of solid propulsion and a payload with re-entry heat shield.

The Range is 4000 Km!

Which means it is capable of striking targets in nearly all of mainland China, if launched from northeastern part of India.

Day 18 Sleepy CSAT PYQ Series Today, we will be looking at a P&C question. We alternate between RC, LR and Quant PYQs in this series. Try to solve it. Solutions will be provided later today.
Solution to Today's CSAT PYQ

This was a basic P&C question.

2 steps.

1) We just consider [QU] to be one entity

2) We should know that when arranging items, if a certain entity is repeated, we divide the total permutations (the numerator) by the factorial of that repetition's frequency.

Here E occurs twice

So we divide by 2!

Answer is 12

The Bhakti movement was way more important than just personal religion. Because It?
What if India's greatest social revolution was fought not with swords, but with poetry and a demand for equality?

Which of the following is often highlighted as a major bottleneck in Parliamentary proceedings?
When the highest temple of democracy works part-time, can we really expect full-time progress for the nation?

โ€‹๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€

โ€‹Why is our Parliament working fewer days?

The first Lok Sabha averaged 135 sitting days a year, but today that number has crashed.

To ensure real progress, we need a strict mandate requiring Parliament to meet for at least 120 days annually.

โ€‹๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜

โ€‹Are we judging MPs on the wrong scorecard?

Voters often judge MPs on local issues like fixing roads. But an MPโ€™s real job is national policy and oversight.

We must hold them accountable for making laws, not municipal work.

โ€‹๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€

โ€‹Why do disruptions replace actual debates?

Instead of constructive discussions, Parliament suffers from constant shouting matches, a shrinking Question Hour, and low attendance in the committees where laws are actually reviewed.

โ€‹๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€

โ€‹How do we fix the system?

โ€‹"Opposition Hour":
Give the opposition dedicated time to set the agenda.

โ€‹Public Scrutiny:
Mandate public consultation before passing any bills.

โ€‹Expert Research:
Provide MPs with funded researchers and add specialized experts to standing committees.

โ€‹๐—–๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜

โ€‹Where does your voice fit in?

Parliament shouldn't be a closed fortress. It needs a digital "Citizen's Corner" where voters can easily track MP performance, submit petitions, and stay engaged long after election day.
