Current Affairs for IAS Exams - 1 August 2013

Zimbabwe votes in historic elections

The day began early for most Zimbabweans as hundreds lined up at dawn to vote in a controversialpresidential election that could prove as significant as the one that heralded independence in 1980.
Since that day, 33 years ago, Robert Gabriel Mugabe – an 89 year old liberation hero - and his ZANU PF party have ruled the country with an iron fist.
"There is no other party that has conducted a revolution to redeem the country from the colonial grip

Government to dilute FDI retail norms

Yielding to pressure from multinational retail giants and worried at not a single proposal having come through in the past nine months, the Manmohan Singh-led government is set to "dilute" various conditions, including effecting a change in the definition of investment in backend infrastructure and the 30 per cent sourcing clause, brushing aside opposition from the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Ministry.
Furthermore, with the Commerce and Industry Ministry at the spearhead, the government proposes to increase the number of cities to be covered under the policy for 49 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail trade.
This will be done by amending the clause to permit cities or States with less than 10 lakh population to allow opening frontend stores.
According to a Cabinet note, proposed to be put up before the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, the clause requiring 30 per cent sourcing from small-scale industries will be scrapped.
It is argued that the present condition of making those industries that outgrow this status ineligible for fulfilment of mandatory local sourcing would result in loss of business for small industries and also discourage retailers from developing a supply chain.
It proposes that this requirement would be reckoned only at the time of first engagement with the retailer and such industries will continue to qualify even if they outgrow the investment of $2 million during their relationship with the retailer.

(Sample Material) IAS Online Coaching : Polity - Citizenship In India

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 03:03 AM PDT

Sample Material of Our Online Coaching Programme

Subject: Polity
Topic: Citizenship In India

There are two classes of people in any country- citizens and aliens. Citizens enjoy all rights and entitlements while aliens (owing political allegiance to another country or government) are denied some of them. For example, citizens can vote and contest to hold representative offices like a member of parliament while aliens can not. Aliens are of two types: citizens of friendly countries are friendly aliens while those of enemy countries are enemy aliens- the latter being denied some of the rights that the former may enjoy.

Aliens may find asylum in a country to which they have fled for political reasons. Asylum is the legal protection granted to people in any country who are afraid to return to their home country Expelling an alien is called deportation.

JUDGES HAVE TO WATCH THEIR SCORECARD

The Indian Supreme Court is an extraordinarily powerful institution in the world. It can make and unmake laws; it can keep the executive accountable, and seek to ensure the autonomy of institutions. It can rewrite the Constitution the way it wants, through its creative interpretation yet remain largely unaccountable for its omissions and commissions. Its collegium has the responsibility to choose judges to fill its own vacancies, but it sees little merit in adopting an open and transparent process while exercising it.

As a result, very little is known about the merits of a judge, before he or she is appointed to the Supreme Court, unless there are serious allegations damaging to the judge's integrity. There is a vast pool of post-retirement jobs that awaits a retiring judge from the Supreme Court, in the form of membership of statutory tribunals and commissions, yet there is no mechanism to evaluate the suitability of former judges to these bodies.
