Iran–US Tensions and the Strait of Hormuz: Why Is It a Major Issue for India?
What Happened?
According to newspaper reports, tensions between Iran and the United States increased further in the Strait of Hormuz region. U.S. forces reportedly targeted Iranian oil tankers, while Iran claimed retaliatory action against a U.S. base in Jordan and vessels passing through the Strait. Amid this escalation, Brent crude futures rose above $100 per barrel, the first time since July 2024.
First, Let’s Understand It in Simple Language
The Strait of Hormuz is an extremely important maritime chokepoint located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It is called a chokepoint because a significant portion of global energy trade passes through this limited maritime route.
Why Is This So Important for India?
India imports a large share of its crude oil requirement. Therefore, a sharp increase in global crude prices can increase the import bill. When imported energy becomes more expensive, it can indirectly put pressure on transportation, manufacturing, fertiliser, logistics and the cost of several consumer goods.
| Development | Possible India Impact |
|---|---|
| Hormuz security risk | Shipping disruption, higher insurance and freight costs |
| Crude price spike | Higher import bill and inflationary pressure |
| Regional escalation | Impact on Indian diaspora, maritime security and diplomatic balancing |
| Long disruption | Greater role of energy security and strategic reserves |
Static GK: Maritime Chokepoints
In exams, Hormuz can be compared with strategic chokepoints such as Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez Canal, Malacca Strait and Bosporus.
Exam Perspective
- Strait of Hormuz — Persian Gulf–Gulf of Oman connection.
- Concept of chokepoints and energy security.
- Crude oil price → inflation → current account → fiscal pressure linkage.
- India’s maritime security and freedom of navigation.
Proposed Article 371 Chapter K for Ladakh
What Happened?
The Ministry of Home Affairs has proposed an elected UT-level body for Ladakh through a proposed Chapter K under Article 371 in the Constitution. According to the newspaper, the proposed body may be given legislative powers over land, culture and language, forests, environment, natural resources and other subjects reserved for the Union Territory under Article 240.
What Is It?
Article 371 is part of Part XXI of the Constitution, dealing with “Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions.” Its different clauses address the specific social, cultural, administrative and regional requirements of different States.
Background: What Has Been the Issue in Ladakh?
Following the constitutional changes related to Article 370 in 2019, the erstwhile State of Jammu & Kashmir was reorganised and Ladakh became a Union Territory. Ladakh does not have a legislative assembly. Since then, local groups have continued to demand Statehood, tribal status and greater local participation in decisions concerning land and infrastructure.
Static Map of Article 371
| Provision | State/Region | Exam Cue |
|---|---|---|
| Article 371 | Maharashtra & Gujarat | Development boards |
| 371A | Nagaland | Customary law, land/resources etc. |

Question: Consider the following statements:
- Articles 371 A to 371 I were inserted in the Constitution of India to meet regional demands of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa.
- Constitutions of India and the United States of America envisage a dual policy (the Union and the States) but a single citizenship.
- A naturalized citizen of India can never be deprived of his citizenship.
Options: (a) 1, 2 and 3 (b) 1 and 3 (c) 3 only (d) 1 only
Correct Answer: (d) 1 only
Concept: The purpose of the Article 371 series is to address the special constitutional requirements of different regions.
Exam Perspective: Do not study the Ladakh current affair merely as a “new constitutional provision.” Place it within the broader framework of Article 370, Union Territory, Sixth Schedule demands, tribal status and asymmetric federalism.
Census 2027, NPR and NRC: The Big Question of Data Governance
What Happened?
Concerns have been expressed by former Census officials regarding the advancement of the Population Enumeration phase of Census 2027 in four poll-bound States and the addition of new questions to the Census schedule, particularly with regard to data quality and the relationship between Census, NPR and NRC.
Difference Between Census, NPR and NRC
| Concept | Basic Idea | Exam Angle |
|---|---|---|
| Census | Statistical enumeration of the population | Population data, planning, representation |
| NPR | Register of usual residents | A concept distinct from the citizenship framework |
| NRC | Citizens-related register framework | Citizenship + legal framework |
Why Is It Important?
In modern governance, data is not merely statistics. Population data can influence welfare targeting, infrastructure planning, public services, electoral delimitation and social policy. Therefore, “data quality + privacy + legal purpose + institutional safeguards” should be studied together.
CBSE Three-Language Scheme and Supreme Court Hearing on English
What Happened?
The Supreme Court is hearing petitions related to the implementation of CBSE’s three-language scheme. The Centre stated that it would consult on providing a one-time reprieve to current Class 6 students from the mandatory third-language paper in Class 10. The Court also noted the need to streamline the implementation of the scheme.
Understand the Three-Language Formula in Simple Terms
The basic objective of the three-language approach is to promote multilingual education. However, practical implementation raises questions related to teachers, language choices, school capacity, curriculum and assessment.
Exam Link
- Multilingualism angle of the National Education Policy 2020.
- Mother tongue/local language and educational access.
- Language policy and federal diversity.
- Judicial review of policy implementation.
Double Deflation in GDP: What Does It Actually Mean?
What Happened?
A debate has emerged around the 2023–24 base year and the Double Deflation methodology in India’s new GDP series. NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Ashok Kumar Lahiri responded to criticism of the methodology and stated that separating producer and consumer price effects is not a methodological impossibility.
What Is Double Deflation?
Deflation means removing the effect of price changes in order to measure real economic growth. Double Deflation attempts to separately adjust the price effects of producer-side inputs and outputs.
Nominal GDP = Value of output at current prices.
Real GDP = Actual volume change in output after removing the price effect.
Double Deflation = Separately accounting for the price effects of inputs and outputs.
Why Is This Debate Important?
GDP growth is not merely “one percentage.” Changes in methodology can affect measured real growth. Therefore, transparency, quality of price indices and internationally comparable methodology are important for economists.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal GDP | GDP at current market prices |
| Real GDP | GDP after removing the effect of price changes |
| GDP Deflator | Economy-wide measure of the price level |
| Double Deflation | Methodology of separately deflating input and output prices |
PYQ Audit: No directly related verified Previous Year Government Exam Question was identified for this specific Double Deflation development.

PYQ Audit: No directly related verified Previous Year Government Exam Question was identified for this specific eight-project approval.
PM-KUSUM 2.0 and Agrivoltaics: A New Model of Farmers + Solar Energy
What Happened?

What Is Agrivoltaics?

AI Race, Superintelligence and the Question of AI Safety
Current Development
The newspaper reported that an AI researcher who had worked at OpenAI and Anthropic left the industry and expressed serious concerns about the safety of self-improving AI models. The report points to a broader debate: if the capabilities of AI systems go beyond human-level performance, how can control, alignment and governance be ensured?
What Is Superintelligence?
Superintelligence is a theoretical concept in which the cognitive capabilities of AI exceed human intelligence. It is not an established fact about current AI systems and should be understood as a future-oriented possibility.
Key Questions in AI Governance
- How can AI systems be kept aligned with human instructions?
- Who should establish testing standards for high-risk AI models?
- How should accountability be determined for AI-enabled cyber attacks?
- How much human oversight should be required for autonomous systems?
- How can a balance be created between innovation and safety regulation?

Open Waste Burning and Air Pollution During Winter
What Did the Study Find?
According to a working paper by WRI India, the incidence of open waste burning, the quantity of waste burned and associated emissions during winter in 11 polluted Indian cities were in several cases up to nearly three times higher than during summer.
The study reported the highest incidence of winter burning in Tier 3 cities, while burning frequency was significantly higher in poorer urban areas. The study also found that open waste burning was not the dominant source of citywide PM2.5 and PM10 pollution, but because it occurs close to homes and streets, it can increase short-term exposure to toxic smoke.
Exam Link
- PM2.5 vs PM10.
- Winter inversion/stagnant atmosphere.
- Municipal solid waste management.
- Environmental justice — higher exposure in poorer areas.
- Capacity of urban local bodies.

According to the newspaper report, the notice was withdrawn the following day and disciplinary action against the concerned officials was discussed.
Why Is This a Constitutional Issue?
When coercive administrative action is taken against an individual, it must operate within the framework of constitutional protections, judicial directions and due process. Disobedience of a specific Supreme Court order can also raise questions related to contempt.
