Welcome to Day 60 of TLP Phase II. Please understand that the next 12 weeks are not meant to test your knowledge. Most of you are giving your first attempt and its really important for you to self assess yourself over the fundamentals of various subjects. And even if you have appeared for CSM before, it is always desirable to brush up your basics before you go on to attempt highly analytical and thought provoking questions asked by UPSC. TLP Phase I was designed precisely for that. Moving on to Phase II, we will cover all possible issues of contemporary importance as well as touching upon various aspects of static subjects.

Please be sincere and regular in this phase of your preparation because what you build here will become the foundation of phase II of TLP.

1) The  Xiamen  declaration  in  the  recently  concluded  BRICS  summit  is  a  diplomatic win  for  India  and  holds immense  significance  in  the  backdrop  of  the  Doklam standoff.  Comment.

2) The  St.  Petersburg  declaration  has  reiterated  the  commitment  to  build  an  energy bridge  between  Russia and  India  through  cooperation  in  the  field  of  energy.  Identify and  discuss  these  areas  of  cooperation  and latest  developments  thereof.

3) A proactive  role  of  the  US  in  the  Indian  Ocean  is  conducive  for  India’s geostrategic  interests.  Do  you  agree? Substantiate.

4) The  UN  is  the  only  universal  body  we  all  have,  the  one  organisation  to  which every  country  in  the  world belongs;  if  it  is  discredited,  the  world  as  a  whole  will lose  an  institution  that  is  irreplaceable.  Critically comment.

5) Despite  passing  more  than  a  decade  of  its  establishment,  the  G-20  organisation has  not  been  successful  to attain  its  purpose  and  objectives.  Critically  comment  with suitable  examples.

Note – The answers will be reviewed only if it is posted before 9.30 pm everyday
