Passage-2
A state electricity report serves as an important tool to assess energy production and track progress in the power
sector. By providing quarterly data on generation measured in gigawatt hours (GWh), the report highlights the contribution
of different energy sources such as coal, gas, hydro, solar, and wind. This not only helps in understanding the overall
energy mix and dependence on conventional versus renewable sources but also enables policymakers, planners, and
stakeholders to evaluate trends, address gaps, and promote sustainable energy development.
A state electricity report
provides quarterly generation (in GWh) by source - Coal, Gas, Hydro, Solar, and Wind.
In Q1 Generation from Coal is 2,200 GWh, Gas contributes 800 GWh, Hydro 900 GWh, Solar 700 GWh, and Wind
400 GWh, for a total of 5,000 GWh.
In Q2 Coal rises to 2,400 GWh, while Gas dips to 700 GWh; Hydro improves to 1,000 GWh, Solar to 800 GWh, and
Wind to 600 GWh, bringing the quarterly total to 5,500 GWh.
In Q3 Coal moderates to 2,100 GWh, Gas increases to 900 GWh, Hydro softens to 800 GWh, but Solar advances
to 1,000 GWh and Wind to 700 GWh, keeping the total at 5,500 GWh.
In Q4 Coal moves to 2,300 GWh, Gas to 850 GWh, Hydro to 1,100 GWh, Solar to 900 GWh, and Wind to 850
GWh, for a total of 6,000 GWh.
For analysis, Renewables are taken as Hydro + Solar + Wind. A carbon policy scenario proposes cutting Q4 Coal by
10%, shifting the entire reduction equally into Solar and Wind.

Passage-3
One of the central motifs of the past decade of governance under Indian Prime Minister has been the
embrace of policy measures that seek to apply uniform solutions to disparate policy dilemmas facing the
country. These measures, often termed One Nation policies, are motivated by a desire to replace the
existing patchwork of state- specific policies, regulations, and regimes with measures that are identical
across the length and breadth of India.
There are numerous examples of such One Nation policies being propagated and, in several cases,
implemented in the eleven years since this Government came to power. For instance, in 2016, Parliament
passed a series of constitutional amendments to introduce a new Goods and Services Tax (GST), which
introduced a unified value-added tax in place of state-specific levies. This reform, known informally as One
Nation, One Tax, had been debated and discussed for nearly two decades and was widely touted as an
important precursor to forging a common market across India's twenty-eight states.
In a similar vein, the government rolled out a new initiative to allow Indian citizens to take advantage of
subsidized food rations irrespective of their state of residence. This scheme, commonly termed One Nation,
One Ration Card, was intended to increase access to welfare benefits, especially for the millions of internal
migrants in India without a fixed place of residence.
Earlier this year, the government announced the launch of a new online portal that will provide students,
faculty, and researchers across the country's public higher education institutions with open access to
international scholarly journals and articles under a scheme it has dubbed One Nation, One Subscription.
Most notably, the government recently signalled its intention to pursue a monumental One Nation policy that
has been long discussed but only recently outlined in detail. This measure, known as One Nation, One
Election, would do away with India's current system of staggered elections for state and national assemblies,
replacing it with a framework of simultaneous elections. The proposal, which has featured in many of PM's
speeches in the past, was advanced by a high-level committee (HLC) established by the government in 2023.

Passage-4
I may here trace the history of the shaping of the Preamble because this would show that the Preamble
was in conformity with the Constitution as it was finally accepted. Not only was the Constitution framed in
the light of the Preamble but the Preamble was ultimately settled in the light of the Constitution. In the
earliest draft the Preamble was something formal and read: "We, the people of India, seeking to promote
the common good, do hereby, through our chosen representatives, enact, adopt and give to ourselves this
Constitution.
After the plan of June 3, 1947, which led to the decision to partition the country and to set up two independent
Dominions of India and Pakistan, on June 8, 1947, a joint sub- committee of the Union Constitution and
Provincial Constitution Committees, took note that the objective resolution would require amendment in
view of the latest announcement of the British Government. The announcement of June 3 had made it clear
that full independence, in the form of Dominion Status, would be conferred on India as from August 15,
1947. After examining the implications of partition the sub- committee thought that the question of making
changes in the Objectives Resolution could appropriately be considered only when effect had actually been
given to the June 3 Plan. Later on July 12, 1947, the special sub-committee again postponed consideration
of the matter. The Union Constitution Committee provisionally accepted the Preamble as drafted by B.N.
Rao and reproduced it in its report of July 4, 1947 without any change, with the tacit recognition at that stage
that the Preamble would be finally based on the Objectives Resolution. In a statement circulated to members
of the Assembly on July 18, 1947 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru inter alia, observed that the Preamble was
covered more or less by the Objectives Resolution which it was intended to incorporate in the final
Constitution, subject to some modification on account of the political changes resulting from partition.

Passage-5
Good governance is only in the hands of good men. No doubt, what is good or bad is not for the court to
decide: but the court can always indicate the constitutional ethos on goodness, good governance and purity
in administration remind the constitutional functionaries to preserve, protect and promote the same. That
ethos are the unwritten words in our Constitution. However, as the Constitution makers stated, there is a
presumption that the Prime Minister/Chief Minister would be well advised and guided by such unwritten yet
constitutional principles as well. According to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, such things were only to be left to the
good sense of the Prime Minister, and for that matter, the Chief Minister of State, since it was expected that
the two great constitutional functionaries would not dare to do any infamous thing by inducting an otherwise
unfit person to the Council of Ministers. It appears, over a period of time, at least in some cases, it was only
a story of great expectations. Some of the instances pointed out in the writ petition indicate that Dr. Ambedkar
and other great visionaries in the Constituent Assembly have been bailed out. Qualification has been wrongly
understood as the mere absence of prescribed disqualification. Hence, it has become the bounden duty of
the court to remind the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of the State of their duty to act in accordance
with the constitutional aspirations.
No doubt, it is not for the court to issue any direction to the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister, as the case
may be, as to the manner in which they should exercise their power while selecting the colleagues in the
Council of Ministers. That is the constitutional prerogative of those functionaries who are called upon to
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. But it is the prophetic duty of this Court to remind the key duty
holders about their role in working the Constitution. Hence, I am of the firm view, that the Prime Minister and
the Chief Minister of the State, who themselves have taken oath to bear true faith and allegiance to the
Constitution of India and to discharge their duties faithfully and conscientiously, will be well advised to
consider avoiding any person in the Council of Ministers, against whom charges have been framed by a
criminal court in respect of offences involving moral turpitude and also offences specifically referred to in
Chapter III of The Representation of the People Act, 1951.

Passage-6
The recent Supreme Court judgment in State of Tamil Nadu v. Governor of Tamil Nadu (2025) affirmed that
a Governor cannot exercise an absolute or "pocket" veto on bills, holding that if assent is withheld, the bill
must be returned to the legislature "as soon as possible" for reconsideration, with the Governor having no
discretion to withhold assent again. The court established that inaction or indefinite delay is illegal and
unconstitutional, prescribing timelines for the Governor's decision and even "deeming assent" on pending
bills in the Tamil Nadu case, establishing a critical precedent for judicial review of gubernatorial powers. The
Supreme Court explicitly rejected the Governor's power to an absolute or "pocket" veto, which allows for
bills to be indefinitely delayed. If a Governor withholds assent to a bill, they are constitutionally obligated to
return it to the State Assembly for reconsideration, according to the proviso in Article 200 of the Constitution.
If the State Assembly re-enacts a bill after it has been returned by the Governor, the Governor has no choice
but to give assent to it and cannot withhold it for a second time. The Court held that indefinitely delaying or
remaining silent on bills is unconstitutional and that Governors must act "as soon as possible" on bills. The
judgment expanded the scope of judicial review by setting timelines for the Governor's actions on bills,
allowing state governments to approach courts if these timelines are breached. In the case of the Tamil
Nadu, the Court used its powers under Article 142 to "deem assent" on the long-pending bills, which had the
effect of making any subsequent decision by the President on those bills void.

Same-sex marriage has no legal recognition in India as per the recent Supreme Court's judgment, where it
was decided that this is an issue for Parliament to address. While Hindu marriages between transgender
persons and cisgender men are permissible, and the Court acknowledged systemic discrimination and the
right to choose a partner, it held that there is no fundamental right to marry. The government has been urged
to form a panel to consider granting more legal rights to same-sex couples, but the legal status of marriage
remains unchanged for now. The five-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India in Supriyo @ Supriya
Chakraborty &Anr. v. Union of India (2023), in a majority verdict, ruled that there is no fundamental right to
marry under the Indian Constitution, making it beyond the court's scope to legislate on same-sex marriage.
The Court stated that the power to legislate on same-sex marriage rests with the Parliament and state
legislatures. The judgment affirmed constitutional rights for LGBTQ+ citizens and the right to choose a
partner. The government agreed to set up a panel to explore legal rights and benefits for same-sex couples,
though these benefits are not the same as those conferred by marriage. Same-sex couples cannot legally
marry and do not receive the same legal rights, such as automatic inheritance, pension, or adoption rights,
that legally married couples do. Despite the ruling, LGBTQ+ couples continue to face legal discrimination
and have no social recognition of marriage. The Court affirmed the right of same-sex couples to cohabit
privately. While the Supreme Court's verdict brought limited benefits and acknowledgments, it has not
legalized same-sex marriage in India, deferring the ultimate decision to the Parliament.

In a language laboratory, students were given an interesting puzzle involving the word
“ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH.” The teacher explained that such exercises not only test logical skills but
also sharpen attention to detail. According to the challenge, the word had to undergo a series of
transformations. First, the class was asked to take the first half of the letters, reverse their order and make
the arrangement of letters look quite different from the original. Next, the students were told to identify the
last but one letter of the original word and place it at the very beginning, a step that changed the opening
appearance of the sequence completely. Finally, as a finishing touch, they had to add the letter ‘S’ at the
end. Following these steps carefully would lead them to the correct transformed word, and only those who
adhered to each condition in the exact order could solve the puzzle successfully.

On the night of October 12th, the "Sunburst Medallion" was stolen from the highly secured display case in
the city museum. The theft occurred sometime between the museum closing at 10:00 PM and the night
guard, Mr. Hemant, completing his final round at 1:00 AM.Three primary suspects were identified, all of
whom had recently been dismissed from their museum positions: Anjali, the former curator; Bharat, the
former security expert; and Chitra, the former exhibits designer.
Here are the established facts and their alibis:
* The security system logs show that the display case was opened using a specific five-digit code, which
only Anjali and the museum director (who was out of the country) knew.
* Bharat's alibi is that he was at a distant relative's birthday party from 8:00 PM to 1:30 AM. Multiple
independent witnesses confirmed his presence throughout the entire period.
* Chitra's alibi is that she was working late at a downtown graphic design studio. A time-stamped security
camera from the studio's entrance shows her entering at 7:00 PM and exiting at 11:45 PM.
The studio is
a 20-minute drive from the museum.
* Mr. Hemant, the night guard, stated he checked the medallion at 10:30 PM, and it was still there.
Further investigation revealed that a small, distinctive silver button was found near the display case. Anjali
is known to frequently wear a coat with similar unique silver buttons. The security expert, Bharat, had
previously boasted that he could remotely disable a certain type of magnetic lock-the same type used on
the medallion's case-without needing the code, though the log suggests the code was used.

In a small town lived a close-knit family where every relation could be expressed through simple symbols.
For instance, when they said A × B, it meant A is the father of B, while A ÷ B meant A is the mother of B. The
younger ones were often introduced with A + B, meaning A was the daughter of B, and the bond of brotherhood
was shown by A – B (A is brother of B). One day, the children in the family turned these symbols into a
playful code. Instead of introducing their parents and siblings in words, they spoke only in symbols. “Look,”
giggled little Meena, “M + N ÷ O!” Everyone laughed, because they knew it meant Meena was the daughter
of N, and N was the mother of O, making her O’s sister. What started as a code soon became a family
game, making the bonds of father, mother, daughter, and brother not just relations, but symbols of love and
togetherness.

The adoption of the Non-Cooperation Movement by the Congress gave it a new energy and from January
1921 it began to register considerable success all over the country. Gandhiji undertook a nation-wide tour
during which he addressed hundreds of meetings and met a large number of political workers. In the first
month, thousands of students left their educational institutions and joined more than 800 national schools
and colleges that had sprung up all over the country. Gandhiji had promised Swaraj within a year, if his
programme was adopted.
The Non-Cooperation Movement demonstrated that it commanded the support and sympathy of vast sections
of the Indian people. Its reach among many sections of Indian peasants, workers, artisans etc, had been
demonstrated. The spatial spread of the movement was also nation-wide. Some areas were more active
than others, but there were few that showed no signs of activity at all.
The capacity of the 'poor dumb millions' of India to take part in modern nationalist politics was also
demonstrated. This was the first time that nationalists from the towns, students from schools and colleges
or even the educated and politically aware in the villages had made a serious attempt to bring the ideology
and the movement into their midst.
The tremendous participation of different communities in the movement, and the maintenance of communal
unity, despite the Malabar developments, was in itself no mean achievement. There is hardly any doubt that
it was minority participation that gave the movement its truly mass character in many areas. And it was,
indeed, unfortunate that this most positive feature of the movement was not to be repeated in later years
once communalism began to take its toll.

There were humans long before there was history. The archaic humans loved, played, formed close
friendships and competed for status and power, but so did chimpanzees, baboons and elephants.
There was nothing special about them.
Nobody, least of all humans themselves, had any inkling that their descendants would one day walk on the
moon, split the atom, fathom the genetic code and write history books. The most important thing to know
about prehistoric humans is that they were incognisant animals with no more impact on their environment
than gorillas, fireflies or jellyfish.
Biologists classify organisms into species. Animals are said to belong to the same species if they tend to
mate with each other, giving birth to fertile offspring. Horses and donkeys have a recent common ancestor
and share many physical traits. They will mate if induced to do so - but their offspring, called mules, are
sterile. Mutations in donkey DNA can therefore never cross over to horses, or vice versa. The two types of
animals are consequently considered two distinct species, moving along separate evolutionary paths. By
contrast, a bulldog and a spaniel may look very different, but they are members of the same species,
sharing the same DNA pool.

In 1973, only 45 of the world's 151 countries were counted as 'free' by Freedom House, a nongovernmental
organization that produces quantitative measures of civil and political rights for countries around the world.
The following generation saw momentous political change, with democracies and market-oriented economies
spreading in virtually every part of the world except for the Arab Middle East. This transformation was
Samuel Huntington's third wave of democratization; liberal democracy as the default form of government
became part of the accepted political landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Underlying these changes in political systems was a massive social transformation as well. The shift to
democracy was a result of millions of formerly passive individuals around the world organizing themselves
and participating in the political life of their societies. This social mobilization was driven by a host of factors:
greatly expanded access to education that made people more aware of themselves and the political world
around them; information technology, which facilitated the rapid spread of ideas and knowledge; cheap
travel and communications that allowed people to vote with their feet if they didn't like their government; and
greater prosperity, which induced people to demand better protection of their rights.
The third wave crested after the late 1990s, however, a 'democratic recession' emerged in the first decade
of the twenty-first century. Approximately one in five countries that had been part of the third wave either
reverted to authoritarianism or saw a significant erosion of democratic institutions. Freedom house noted
that 2009 marked the fourth consecutive year in which freedom had declined around the world, the first time
this had happened since it established its measures of freedom in 1973.

My kinsman and I were returning to Calcutta from our Puja trip when we encountered an unusual man on
the train. At first, judging from his dress and bearing, we mistook him for an up-country boorish man. But as
soon as he began to speak, our impression changed. He discoursed on every subject with such confidence
that one might think the 'Disposer of All Things' sought his counsel in every decision. Until then, we had
been perfectly content, unaware of hidden forces shaping the world-that the Russians were advancing, that
the English were pursuing secret policies, and that confusion among native chiefs had reached its peak.
Our new acquaintance, however, hinted at such matters with a sly smile, remarking:
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are reported in your newspapers. "
Having never before travelled beyond our homes, we were struck dumb with wonder at his manner. No
matter how trivial the topic, he could quote science, comment on the Vedas, or recite quatrains from Persian
poets. Since we possessed no real knowledge of science, the Vedas, or Persian literature, our admiration
for him only grew. My kinsman, a theosophist, became convinced that our fellow passenger was inspired
by some strange magnetism, occult power, or astral body. He listened with devotional rapture even to the
most common place remarks and secretly noted down his words. I suspect our extraordinary companion
noticed this and was quietly pleased. When the train reached the junction, we gathered in the waiting room
to await our connection. It was 10 p.m., and as the train was expected to be delayed owing to some fault in
the lines, I spread my bed on the table and prepared to sleep. But just then, the extraordinary man began
spinning a tale, and of course, I could not close my eyes all night.

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he
is too weak to pull the plough, and he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he claims dominion over
all animals. He sets us to work, returns only the bare minimum to keep us from starving, and keeps the rest
for himself. Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilizes it, and still, not one of us owns more than our bare
skin. You cows, look at yourselves-how many thousands of gallons of milk have you produced this past
year? And what has become of it, milk that should have nurtured strong calves? Every drop has gone down
the throats of our enemies. And you hens, how many eggs have you laid, and how many of those ever
hatched into chicks? The rest have gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his men. And you,
Clover, where are the four foals you bore, who should have supported and comforted you in your old age?
Each was sold at just a year old-you will never see them again. For all your labour in the fields and your four
confinements, what have you gained except bare rations and a stall?
Even the lives we do live are cut short, denied their natural span. I do not grumble, for I am among the
fortunate. I am twelve years old and have borne over four hundred children. Such is the natural life of a pig.
But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end. You young porkers sitting before me, each of you will
scream your lives out at the block within a year. This is the fate that awaits all of us-cows, pigs, hens,
sheep, everyone. Even horses and dogs share no better end. Boxer, the very day your great muscles fail
you, Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will slit your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds. And the
dogs, when old and toothless, are tied with a brick and drowned in the nearest pond.

US president Donald Trump has landed a triple whammy on India by torpedoing the H-1B visa programme,
days after revoking sanctions waiver on Chabahar port in Iran and weeks after imposing a 50% tariff on
Indian exports to the US. The White House also maintained a conspicuous silence on the Pakistan-Saudi
Arabia mutual defence treaty amid reports that neither country informed Washington of the pact, suggesting
a growing US indifference to India’s concerns. The triple blow has shaken US-India ties to the foundation,
mystifying experts who expected a reset after an exchange of friendly messages between Modi and Trump.
While some observers see in the crackdown on H-1B a pressure tactic to make India bend on the trade
deal, sources familiar with the dynamics of the current White House say the two issues are unrelated and
Trump was convinced of the need to “reform” the guest worker visa programme ever since MAGA hardliners
persuaded him that American workers were being gamed out of jobs by foreign companies and US big tech
acting in tandem.
