 So, Mr. Shubham, Shubham is it? Yes. All right. You know in the joint in your US statement during the President Trump's visit, there was a reference being made to what is known as Blue Dot Network. What is this Blue Dot Network? Blue Dot Network is a private sector-led network which focuses on capacity building and transparent infrastructure building which is in contrast to the Benton Road initiative by China which is based on debt trap diplomacy and is quite opaque in nature. So, is this being considered Blue Dot Network? Is it being considered as a counter to the Chinese BRI or what? I couldn't say sir it can be a counter because BRI is the scale at which BRI is working and the kind of resources which Chinese are pumping in. It cannot be counted by just a concept of a Blue Dot Network. But if when looked at in the context of if we look at the overall thing for example India and Japan with the Asia-Africa growth corridor, the Blue Dot Network etc. These things at least bring in a narrative which can at least counter BRI. Okay, so now the reference is made to the BRI. The China-Pakistan economic corridor. China is spending a lot of money in that, isn't it? Why? What is the significance of this corridor for China? China has been pumping a lot of money. It's about 60 billion dollars in China-Pakistan economic corridor. Say it has multiple aspects to it. For example, the first one would be it allows China to for its Malacca dilemma. Most of its energy comes in from the Malacca stream and the Bade Port can be an alternative to that. But it's and so second way is that it gives China an access to the Arabian sea and therefore the Middle East and therefore show its presence in this part of the area. Otherwise it hasn't been. And then it has the strategic aspects as well in the sense that... Actually the main strategic significance is the fact of the Malacca dilemma. Not only that, it cuts down the distance also. What is the length of the seapack? What is the length of the seapack? That's about 3000 kilometers to zigzag. And then if you take it to the eastern coast say another 3000. It's 6000 kilometers. While the route which they take now is almost double of that. So that's a very major area. Now India of course is not very happy with the seapack. Why is that? India has sovereignty concerns and strategic ones as well. Now we'll have greater Chinese presence in its own backyard. Now we have lodged a protest because when they started making this it was going through our area or what we claim is ours. But in the Doklam incident, we took a very very strong stand. We refused to budge, we sent it, we augmented our troops. Why is that? Said Doklam is different because over here... So India has been very vocal about it. But you're right that the responses were different. Doklam is at the tri-tension of India, Bhutan and China. Bhutan and India have the friendship treaty since 1949. And also it's close to the chicken neck. And therefore... You should bring that up first. It's not a question of friendship with Bhutan. The chicken's neck, if we had allowed them to come there it would have brought them closer to our choke point. And therefore we had to take a very very strong stand. Now when we talk of China, the other issue is the string of pearls. What is the string of pearls concept? The string of pearls is a group of islands which China has been... Islands? Not necessarily islands but for example the Hambantota, the Guada and then we have in Myanmar the Sea-Mech, Quack-Po-Po. This is the issue of Krakenan as well. So basically they're trying to establish themselves in the Indian Ocean region. Yes, that's true. Okay, thank you. You're with the Indian oil and in a permanent job and you're earning a handsome salary. Why then do you want to change and come to the civil services? My Indian oil is a great job. But there are two prime reasons for coming into civil services. One is the job satisfaction and the job diversity. I feel that Indian oil is much more respected to the innocent and I want to explore other aspects as well. Okay, do you have the qualities to make a good civil servant? I like to believe that. Let's hear some of the qualities which you have. Mom, I think I'm a good listener. Okay, so listener will help you. Brides take place and you will be listening only? Mom, I think even there it's very important to listen. Okay, what else? I'm hardworking, honest. Honest? Do you have leadership qualities? Yes, ma'am. Are you able to make decisions quickly? I like to believe that. All right. Now you've given admitt as your card of reference but it's not necessary that you would get this card. Then would you go to another card if you're given the choice? Yes ma'am, absolutely. You will work for it. All right. Now, tell me something about just mention some of the internal security problems which our countries face today. Just mention them first. Ma'am, there's a problem of extremism which is manifested in different forms. We have left-wing extremism and this religious extremism. Then I would say the border issues as well. It has internal politicians as well. And I would say even this or democracy if we see the criminalization of politics I also see it as a soft internal security issue as well. What about black money? You don't see black money as a security problem? Chair of one day? Apologies ma'am. Black money, money, long-term, etc. Okay. If I were to ask you what are the global challenges that we are faced with? Could you name a few? Challenges. Like fear the country or...? Globally, everyone's faced with the same challenge. Recently when it's been the coronavirus it's a global potential. Yes, yes, yes. Second is this growing... What the external film minister said growing inward is... What about climate change? You don't see that as a threat? Yes, definitely. So is anything been done regarding climate change? Any conferences that you are aware of? Yes ma'am. We recently had the COP25 in Madrid and we have another one lined up in Glasgow COP26. So what has been done? Ma'am, after the Paris Accord 2015... Is that intended? Yes, go ahead. So all the nations were asked to come up with their plans for 2030 and now we are trying to make a rule book as to how their missions have become. Then there's also the issue of rotating and then financing of the climate. Then there's about climate justice. So why are we so concerned about warming? Global warming? Ma'am, so global warming would mean melting of the motorized camps which would increase the sea levels. Secondly, it would also mean that so if the mountains are melting it would have direct impact on the entire ecology and ecosystem. The freshwater also? The availability of freshwater? Yes ma'am. Submergence of land and then it would even have adverse effects like has been manifested in the recent forest fires, irregular monsoons, etc. So we could be potentially looking at a six-mass extinction. Alright, thank you. What are the federal features of a constitution which are present in our constitution? What are the features which are required for a federal constitution? Sir, we have a written constitution. We have an independent judiciary. Then we have the schedule-saving which separates which has the central list and the country list. Then there's also rotating the constitution even though it's a Mexican version of that. Yes, rigidity, we stopped here. All portions of the constitution, all provisions are not rigid. There are specific provisions which are listed in article 368. What is the connecting thread? What connects all these provisions which are rigid? Since the basic structure doctrine which was founded by Dr. Sivinko. Basic structure, bars, amendments all together. Am I correct? Right sir. But I'm talking of some provisions which are rigid and can be amended not like that. You are aware of article 363. Yes sir. What are, how the constitution is amended? Right sir. The special majority in the houses. Sir, there are some things which can be revised. Which provisions are rigid? Why? Sir, if I am able to understand the question correctly. No. All these provisions which require ratification by the states. What connects those provisions? That's upon the rights of the states. Okay now, 44th amendment. Why is it important? Sir, 44th amendment was important which was it under some of the potential, some of the states which are taken in the 42nd amendment. So in that sense, it brought in stability once again to the constitutional states. Okay. Government of India in 1935. What we have got from that? Sir, it brought a lot of things. In fact, the basic skeleton is probably the Government of India Act of 1935. We have the, just for example, the schedule 7, the demarcation between the centre and the states. Then there was, we still have the post of governor who is also in the Government of India Act. Okay. Can you tell us about some of the laws that we have today to deal with corruption? Sir, there is the Prevention of Corruption Act. There is also the Money Offering Act. The ADC provides the Local Act. And then Fugitive Offenders. Now you tell us about the amendments that were introduced recently to the Presence of Corruption. I am sorry sir, I cannot recall. Okay. You are working in Indian oil. So your organisation has a lot of tendering. Correct? Yes. Tenders a lot. And the tendering is done. And items, contractors have to go to the L1 tender base. You know the L1 system? Right sir. I know it sir, but I am not sure. The low speeder. Right sir. Yes, price speed. Is this a good system? If yes, why if not? Why not? Sir, I would say it's complicated. Because it's a good system in the sense that it has, within the system it is in that probably there wouldn't be, there are not chances of favoritism to some extent. But it's not good in the sense, for example, what it would mean is that there is no lower bar. So a contractor can quote as low as he can. And then he can subject the contact labour for example to, so he can sort of reduce the money which they get. They can be extortion in that sense. You need to read up on that. There are some bars which are put over there on the lower side. Okay. It's not that far. 100 crore project has to be 10 bucks and get it. No? There are bars on that. Okay. Related to that, there was recently two days back an article that the L1 system may undergo a change. Did you read about that? I'm sorry, sir. It doesn't matter. Fake news. You're well educated. You must be on the computer all the time, right? Fake news. What's the problem? Is it prevalent in India? Is it prevalent in the world? What are we doing in India and what is the world doing about it? Very briefly. What is it firstly? So fake news, as the name suggests, is news which is not light, which is bones. So I think the problem has increased because, unlike the 1990s and the 2000s where we had the conventional newspapers and the broadcasting channels, now we have a bit of social media. And the characteristic feature of social media is that not only if everyone is sitting in the equation. My question was, that is answered, not in the second part. What are we doing about it? If it is light, what are we doing about it? Does it exist in the rest of the world? And what is the world doing about it? Three other questions in the next one minute. Sir. What are we doing about it? Sir, the government of India is collaborating with the social media companies and we are putting in these full of conduct and there's also regular monitoring, technology based and management. But it's again complicated because we have to balance the political language. It exists in the rest of the world? I'd say it does exist, in fact. What is the rest of the world doing about it? Sir, once again, we are just evolving as a, in fact, in that world it's kind of trying to solve this problem. So we have the United States as well. There was a Cambridge Analytica scandal. So we, everybody as a country, as a world needs to come together and sort of develop these guidelines. And I think it has to be acknowledged. So let's get back to it because now it's a different perspective on the same issue. You said we have to balance what we are doing with Article 19. I presume you're referring to constitutional provisions. Right? Yes. Now if you're referring to those and you're in the field as a district magistrate, social media is spreading the most fake rumors like what happened in Delhi recently, that there's trouble breaking out. And they're going to do it for an extended period of time. Like what has happened in JK? Would you as a district magistrate, if I ask you from state headquarters, should we shut down the social media platforms in your district? Would you recommend that I do it or would you match it against Article 19? If that is the right article to start with. There are other articles also. What would you as a district magistrate suggest? Sir. My thing is not for one day, it's for one month. My question to you. For one month. Sir, I would say as a district magistrate, the most responsibility is law and order. So I have to, I have to see the situation on the cloud. What would you recommend? It is already led to a few deaths. If it has led to a few deaths, you know the situation is all the time. For, at that very moment, I would, I would recommend. What happens to the need to balance? Sir, as a, you have taken, when you join service, you take an oath to the Constitution, to all the articles, all the lengthy articles. What happened to that? Even, for example, talking about article 90, article 92. No, I just asked you, your own statement that you need to balance. What happens to that in this situation? Sir, this is the situation, right to life of the Constitution. And I would say right to life takes precedence over. Sir. What are the strategic reserves? Where do they exist in India? Strategic reserves. And reserve themes of oil, which sort of store the crude oil, or the crude oil. Not necessarily, it can be... The fine oil also? They can be stored. No sir, they cannot be stored. So, where are the, how much is the capacity of our strategic reserves? Where are they located? Sir, you said I am not aware of the capacity, but I know they cannot last for very long. I think there is one located in Andhra Pradesh, but I am not... Vizak. Right sir, I think it's in Vizak, but I am not sure sir. There are more, some more are coming up there. Sir, I think there is one in Karnataka, but I am not sure sir. When Mr Modi visited Siberia, Bloody Vostok, are you aware that he visited there some months ago? No sir, I am not aware. You are aware? No sir. Then people started talking, I mean some newspapers started saying, that this is egged Far East policy, egged Far East, egged East and egged Far East. What are its relevance for us, of this egged Far East policy? Sir, so there are, I was thinking multiple dimensions to it, India is investing about one billion dollars in the Far East, and about one billion dollars. It is investing. Sir, privacy. They already invested seven billion sir. Sir, privacy. To my knowledge sir. No, your knowledge is wrong. India has extended a credit line of a credit line. It is already invested sir. So what is the importance? Sir, it has a strategic importance, it opens the... We are not coming to the point. Sir... You are connected with oil. Now you talk. I am giving you a hint. Sir, the sea liens, the distance from the Vladivostok to Chednai port. Again you haven't caught on. India has invested heavily in the oil fields of Russia, in Siberia, Sakhalin one, have you heard of it? Seven billion dollars. India is lessening its oil dependence on Middle East countries, and developing its stake here. In which companies are testing in a stake, or in which oil fields? It has bought a stake. With Rosneft. Yes, Rosneft is a company. Tell me the fields. Sakhalin one, Venkor. Venkor is handled by Rosneft. Venkor is a field. Why are sea spire violations by Pakistan taking place in Jammu and not in Kashmir? You are from Jammu? Have you ever studied this problem? Sir, I think they take place in... So I believe the idea can be that what it is last year more than 2,000 violations took place in 2019. Why all in Jammu and not in Kashmir? I am not aware of that. I think you should study it. Sure. You should ask yourself this question. There is an answer to it. What is the constitutional mischief which 42nd amendment committed? What damage it committed to our India's poverty? 42nd amendment. Sir, I believe it... Think before you answer. If you don't know it, don't worry. I will ask you more questions. Sir, I am getting confused. I think it was that there would be no restrictions on the power of the parliament. Absolutely. You got it. It established the principle of parliamentary supremacy or sovereignty and ousted the jurisdiction of the judiciary. So, which landmark judgment of the supreme court reversed this position and undid the mischief? Sir, the case was in the bad case. When did this amendment take place? It was in the Minerva Ministry. When did this amendment take place? It happened during the emergency. One or two more questions. What is our renewable energy target for 2022? Sir, we have a target of 175... Out of which 100 solar. How much solar have we reached till now? We are in 2020. How much solar have we reached? It's about 30-35. 38 or 37. At this rate, do you think we will achieve 100? No, sir. It's impossible. Now, last question. West Asia, you were asked about BLI. You were asked CPEC, etc. Right. Now, you know what China is doing in the Arabian Sea area, West Asia. What is its presence like China is doing? Sir, specifically to West Asia or in general, is the question specifically in the context of... No, no. You are raising a wrong question. Is India... you should know what are the facts. Is India also doing something of that type? Right, sir. We are doing multiple things. For example, India and Japan are collaborating with Misha Africa Growth Corridor as a counter to String of Purpose. No, you will say what specifically is on it. This Corridor, Africa, etc. it has not taken off yet. It is all on paper. Tell me what specifically we have done what we are doing. It's a very simple question. There is nothing very difficult. Sir, we have our diamond of necklaces as a counter to the String of Purpose. Have you done Chawa? Yes, sir. I would not like to quote that first of all. Sir, I would have, but... What? I would have what? So, yesterday the Supreme Leader tweeted and so we are seeing that there is a growing deterioration of the relationships between them. You are already anticipating the reach of diplomatic relations. It's not so easy. India has invested so much. Iran and India have stayed there. How can we just uproot and... but India has developed that Chawa port. Anything else India is doing in emergency? Sir, we are developing its links with countries trying to develop islands. Yes, sir. Then why don't you say... Dukapot in Oman. India is developing the Dukapot in Oman. No, sir, you are wrong. It has only got logistics facilities there. No, sir, it has been developed. Now, in two ports are being developed if you are aware. One in Mauritius, one in Asia. Now, do you know the names of those ports? Yes. Egaliga? Egaliga. You are aspiring for foreign service. International relations are yours. You must know these things. Or when we close the interview, we could have done better. Could have done better? Good. Now, you focus on this. First is you find answer to our question which we have raised. We raised about 20-25 points. Then concentrate on JNK, PSIR, electrical engineering, foreign service issues, constitutional issues and important judgments of the Supreme Court and current affairs. These are the areas where you must work. Time is very short. But whatever you can do, time, study seven, eight hours a day on these subjects one hour on each one. Then you you will have more information. So get correcting now. Okay. Sir, if you can tell me the answer to that question, why are there more scenes by violations than JNK? Violations? It was done too. It is so easy there is easier to infiltrate during summer months. Very easy, even in winter months it's easier to infiltrate. It's very difficult to infiltrate in Kashmir. Kashmir infiltration starts in summer and we are sitting on commanding heights. You know commanding heights? We are sitting on the hills whereas this fellow in Kashmir they just disappeared through the jungles. You don't need to fire at anything. You just sneak in summer months. The maximum infiltration is taking place mostly in winter here in JNK. In Jammu area. We had a tunnel and they can cause more harm to civilian population in Jammu than in Kashmir because it's all heights. Are you understanding? The LOC runs in a very different way. So this is it. It is much easier to cause damage and scare. These are the reasons. Got it? Good luck. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe to our channel and press the bell icon to never miss an update.
