Current Affairs Flashcards
The Waqf (Amendment) Act has sparked protests in parts of India. As a youth voice of the nation, how do you think such religious and legal reforms should be handled?
India’s strength lies in its unity in diversity. When reforms like the Waqf Amendment are introduced, it’s essential they are built on dialogue, transparency, and respect. Change should never feel like a threat — it should feel like progress. For communities to trust a law, they must first be heard. I believe the true spirit of a democracy shines when decisions are made not just for the people, but with the people. Because peace is not the absence of conflict — it’s the presence of trust
How do global economic policies like U.S. tariffs impact a country like India?
Global economic decisions, like the recent rise in U.S. tariffs, may seem distant — but their ripple effect reaches every corner of the world. For India, it means a shift: investors turning homeward, strengthening sectors like banking and telecom, and reigniting the spirit of self-reliance. Amidst global uncertainty, India isn’t just adapting — it’s emerging as a resilient force, creating local opportunity from global challenge. Because when the world puts up walls, we build windows of innovation.
The Reserve Bank of India recently raised concerns about poor liquidity flow in the call money market, despite injecting funds into the system. As a responsible citizen, how would you address such gaps in financial transmission?
In a growing economy like India, financial health is not just about money in the system, but movement. When funds don’t reach where they are needed—be it small banks, startups, or cooperative institutions—it weakens the foundation of growth. If I were to bring change, I would advocate for greater financial transparency, smarter digital solutions, and inclusive banking reforms so every rupee can find its purpose. Because true economic strength lies not in holding wealth… but in circulating it.
