Iran-Israel Conflict

1. Iran has launched an aerial drone and missile attack on Israel.
2. Iran and Israel are not direct neighbours and hence, any attack over Israel would take some time to reach the airspace of Israel, allowing the Israeli air defence system to be activated. As a result, most of the Iranian missiles couldn't hit the Israeli targets last night.

Impact of this escalation:

1. Crude oil prices will go up - leading to cost push inflation in India - beyond RBI's control.
2. Shipping routes of Strait of Hormuz and Strait of Bab El Mandeb will be impacted, impacting the trade of India with Middle East and Europe.
3. If this matter comes up in UNSC, following the multi alignment policy, India will stay neutral as both Iran and Israel are important for the strategic interest of India.
4. Role of US and Russia remains to be seen. If they both get involved, after Ukraine, it might open another avenue of indirect conflict between US and Russia.
5. I2U2 alliance involving UAE and Israel is already on the backfoot. Also, the Abraham Accord between UAE and Israel is impacted.

Rising Gold Prices:

1. Why are the gold prices increasing? Basically, gold is an inflation hedge instrument. Whenever, the inflation rises, people buy gold to safeguard their money. Globally, the inflation has remained very high and hence, gold prices are going up.
2. Another factor that impacts gold prices is global instability. Due to the Israel-Hamas-Iran and Russia-Ukraine crisis, big investors prefer to buy gold because investing in companies and share market is risky during such situations.

Due to these reasons, the gold prices are going up.

How will it impact us?

1. Since India imports significant quantities of gold, it will increase our Current Account Deficit
2. Rupee depreciation

However, the biggest beneficiaries of the rising gold rates will be the gold loan companies like Mannapuram and Muthoot Finance.

Har saal 1 PDF aata hai jo kuch 700-800 logo ki zindagi badal deta hai. Wo hi PDF kuch 7 Lakh se zyada logo ki bhi life change karta hai jiske baare mein koi baat nahi karta. While, it is important to celebrate toppers for their hard work, perseverence and success, it is also important to celebrate the hard work of those who couldn't make it to the list.
Are you less than anyone ? No
Are you incapable? No
Are you a hero? Hell Yes ! - Don't let anyone call you a failed candidate or a failure - You are a winner and will be a winner - because when everyone else was living life, you were living your dream - slogging for it.

No matter whether you appear again or move to a different path in life - just know - life is too big to stop. Failures will come and go - YOU ARE THE MYTH YOU ARE THE LEGEND!

My salute and regards for all those who couldn't make it this time.

जनता का प्यार 🙏🙏

Updates:

1. I will be covering Logical Reasoning in the next lecture of CSAT on YouTube.

2. The work over paid courses for 2025/26 is under progress. Will start launching them soon.

No long stories and comments - I find this unfair. Period.

Logical Reasoning lecture will have around 320+ questions in a single lecture ☠

Edit 1: Offers aur result market ki duniya m koi content cover karwane wala bhi chahiye 🥶

Cut off for UPSC 2023.
Cut offs have gone down.
A clear cut indicator of rising difficulty level and unpredictable paper.

Many of you appear in the exam keeping in mind a fixed score - that I have to score 100, 90 etc. But given how cut-offs have declined over the years, you just need to attempt the questions that you're well versed with.

1. CSAT has a big role to play in this falling cut-off. Many candidates who scored well in GS couldn't clear the CSAT paper. Take CSAT lightly at your own risk.
2. I have seen a lot of aspirants getting involved in reservation debates on Telegram and Twitter. Stay away from such debates. Your comments on XYZ post will not change the system overnight. Focus on the syllabus.
3. Mock interview aur topper strategy dekhne se last moment par kuch nahi hoga. Keep revising.

Reasons why topper copies should not be blindly followed. This is the answer copy of AIR - 1, UPSC CSE, 2023.
