What causes a soccer ball to take a curved path when kicked ?

The spin on a soccer ball is determined by how it is kicked. By giving the ball a
spin a soccer player can cause its path through the air to curve or bend. The curving is caused by a force, called the Magnus effect, caused by the air moving over the spinning ball.

💎According to Weber, in a social system the manner in which power is legitimized determines the nature of administrative system. Elucidate (10 Marks/200 words)?
https://t.me/UPSC_18

Model Answer :

https://t.me/UPSC_18

A social system legitimizes power in different ways depending upon their process of socialization. Weber emphasizes the theory of domination or the ability to exercise power and authority, through a social process of justification or legitimization. Each different legitimized power will result in different forms of Administrative systems. They are traditional , charismatic, and legal authority.
Traditional authority derives its legitimacy from the acceptance of its hoary past and customs. The traditional authoritarian ‘Masters’ also gave orders based on their personal discretion to ‘Followers’. According to Weber, under this type of authority ,the administration becomes irrational as development of rational regulations is impeded. However all actions are legitimised in the name of customs and traditions.
Charismatic authority is a result of special qualities of an individual personality to be able to induce a belief in his disciples . The stipulated rules take a back seat and the activities of disciples depends upon likes and dislikes of their leader.
Manifestation of legal authority is found in organisations where rules are applied judicially. Law is principle of organisation as well as authority. It is completely rational and maintains hierarchy and and legal authority which is suitable for modern government.
Weber believed that all the three types of authority claim legitimacy as long as the rule accepted them. (Total Words-215)

Increasing competition among regional navies for dominance in the Indian ocean region


Despite growing tensions with China, Indian Navy would join the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in a maiden maritime search and rescue exercise to be chaired by Bangladesh at the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) in November this year.
What is Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS)?
It is a regional forum of Indian Ocean littoral states, represented by their Navy chiefs, launched by India in February 2008.
It presently has 23 members and nine observers.
Under the charter of business adopted in 2014, the grouping has working groups on Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR), Information Security and Interoperability (IS&I) and anti-piracy now renamed as maritime security.
The working group’s conferences are held annually and India had chaired the one on HADR in May this year and Pakistan had chaired the meeting on IS&I in July.
Main concerns
The exercise comes at a time of intensifying competition among regional navies for dominance in the Indian
Bangladesh is also scheduling an “extraordinary conclave of Chiefs,” a meeting of chiefs of Navy before it hands over the Chair to Iran next year
India has considerably expanded its engagement with countries to further its own interests as well as to check the rapid expansion of Chinese naval forays in the Indian Ocean.
Other countries in the region are also engaged in rapid expansion of their military capabilities.

[Mains Paper 3: Economy]
Mobilization of resources

Tax compliance in India

The Prime Minister is expected to highlight the increase in tax compliance as reflected by the recent surge in income tax returns filings in his address to the nation on August 15
A 25.3 per cent increase in ITR filings by individuals is a proof of rise in tax compliance
Reason for rise in tax compliance?
Income tax department has attributed the increase in income tax returns filed this year to demonetisation and Operation Clean Money.
Tax experts have linked the increased compliance by taxpayers to higher enquiries made by the tax department after demonetisation last year
Economic Survey for 2016-17 
The increased tax compliance figures, have not translated into higher tax collections as was mentioned in the Volume two of Economic Survey for 2016-17
The Survey notes, “the growth of taxpayers post-demonetisation was significantly greater than in the previous year (45 per cent versus 25 per cent). The addition amounted to about 5.4 lakh taxpayers or 1 per cent of all individual taxpayers in just a few months.
The addition to the reported taxable income (of these new payers) was about Rs 10,600 crore. So, the tax base did expand after demonetisation.

Governance | Welfare schemes for vulnerable sections of the population by the Centre and States and the performance of these schemes; mechanisms, laws, institutions and Bodies constituted for the protection and betterment of these vulnerable sections

If implemented, it would help to distribute reservation in a more rational way.

New Idea of Categorisation
Government is thinking about the idea of sub-categorisation among OBCs 
How can it be done?
There are two potential ways
Through a commission for sub-categorisation/classification on a socio-economic basis within OBCs
Or by re-constituting the NCBC with a term of reference for sub-classification

Currently, there is no sub-categorisation among OBCs at the national level
However, Bihar have a quota within quota for OBCs based on sub-categories
Why is government thinking about it?
This step will help to ensure that the benefits are distributed fairly among constituent castes instead of going only to a few dominant ones

Mandal Commission
The Mandal Commission was established in India in 1979 by the Janata Party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai with a mandate to “identify the socially or educationally backward.”
It was headed by Indian parliamentarian B.P. Mandal to consider the question of seat reservations and quotas for people to redress caste discrimination, and used eleven social, economic, and educational indicators to determine backwardness
In 1980, the commission’s report affirmed the affirmative action practice under Indian law whereby members of Other Backward Classes (OBC), were given exclusive access to a certain portion of government Jobs and slots in public universities, and recommended changes to these quotas, by 27% Mobilization on caste lines had followed the political empowerment of ordinary citizens by the constitution of free India that allowed common people to politically assert themselves through the right to vote.

✔️ Government launches Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana for senior citizens
=============
▪️The Union Finance Ministry has launched Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY), a pension scheme exclusively for senior citizens aged 60 years and above.

▪️Under this scheme, senior citizens will get a guaranteed interest of 8% for 10 years depending upon the investment made by them.

✔️ Features of PMVVY
------------------
▪️This PMVVY scheme will be available from May 4, 2017 to May 3, 2018. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has been given the sole privilege to operate the scheme. It can be purchased offline as well as online through LIC.

▪️This scheme provides an assured return of 8% per annum payable monthly for 10 years on single lumpsum premium ranging from Rs. 150000 (minimum) to Rs.750000 (maximum). Pension (minimum: Rs.1000/ month; maximum: Rs.5000) will be payable at the end of each period, during the policy term of 10 years, as per the frequency of monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly as chosen by the pensioner at the time of purchase.

▪️It is exempted from goods and services (GST) tax. It will offer senior citizens more avenues to earn steady regular income at a time of falling interest rates. On survival of the pensioner to the end of the policy term of 10 years, the purchase price of the scheme along with the final pension instalment will be payable.

▪️The scheme also offers loan up to 75% of the purchase price after 3 policy years (to meet the liquidity needs). Loan interest will be recovered from the pension instalments and loan will be recovered from claim proceeds.

▪️The scheme allows for premature exit for the treatment of any critical terminal illness of self or spouse. On such premature exit, 98% of the purchase price would be refunded. On death of the pensioner during the policy term of 10 years, the purchase price should be paid to the beneficiary.

Why the seats and curtains in theaters are red in color ?

There is scientific reason behind it. Red is the first colour that is lost to our sight in low-light conditions, which thus makes the surroundings seem black and unobtrusive when watching a movie or performance.
