Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

K.L Institute answered
Prarthana Samaj was founded in 1867 by Atmaram Pandurang in Bombay. This organisation became popular in Western India after M G Ranade joined it. The Samaj was different from the Brahmo Samaj of Bengal in that it was not as radical and took a cautious approach to the reformist programmes. For this reason, it was better received by the public as well. Prarthana Samaj did not ask its members to believe their caste and discard rituals. Manav Dharma Sabha was secret social reform movement founded in Surat in 1844 by Durgaram Mehta and Dadoba Pandurang. It was one of the earliest socio-religious reform movements in Gujarat. The goals of Manav Dharma Sabha were to expose the deceitful acts present in Chritianity, Islam and Hinduism. Manav Dharma Sabha developed 7 principles which reflected its core philosophy. They are:
  1. There is one God, the creator of this universe.
  2. All human beings belong to one fraternity.
  3. Religion is one for all men, yet, if they follow several faiths each one believings in one's own, one is only following the bent of one's mind. Men should be judged by the qualities they have, and not by their lineage or caste.
  4. Men should not act with discrimination.
  5. The object of all action should be to win the grace of God.
  6. All should be taught the importance of path of righteousness. Paramhansa Mandali was founded by Dadoba Pandurang and Bal Shastri Jambhekar in Bombay in 1849. (After he left Manav Dharma Sabha in Surat and came to Bombay). It was secret organisation. These principles denied polytheism of popular Hinduism, the caste system and the Brahmanical monopoly of knowledge. All members were required to take a pledge that they would abandon caste restrictions and take food and drink prepared by a member of a lower caste.

  • Modern democratic governments are classified into parliamentary and presidential on the basis of nature of relations between the executive and the legislative organs of the government.

  • Advantages of the Parliamentary System
    • Harmony Between Legislature and Executive
      • The greatest advantage of the parliamentary system is that it ensures harmonious relationship and cooperation between the legislative and executive organs of the government. The executive is a part of the legislature and both are interdependent at work.
    • Responsible Government
      • By its very nature, the parliamentary system establishes a responsible government. The ministers are responsible to the Parliament for all their acts of omission and commission. The Parliament exercises control over the ministers through various devices like question hour, discussions, adjournment motion, no confidence motion.
    • Ready Alternative Government
      • In case the ruling party loses its majority, the Head of the State can invite the opposition party to form the government. This means an alternative government can be formed without fresh elections. Hence, Dr. Jennings says, ‘the leader of the opposition is the alternative prime minister’.
    • Wide Representation
      • In a parliamentary system, the executive consists of a group of individuals (i.e., ministers who are representatives of the people). Hence, it is possible to provide representation to all sections and regions in the government. The prime minister while selecting his ministers can take this factor into consideration.
    • Prevents Despotism.
      • Demerits of the parliamentary system
    • Continuity of Policies
      • The parliamentary system is not conducive to the formulation and implementation of long-term policies. This is due to the uncertainty of the tenure of the government. A change in the ruling party is usually followed by changes in the policies of the government.
    • Unstable Government
    • Dictatorship of the Cabinet
    • Against strict separation of powers
    • Government by Amateurs
  • Hence option (c) is the correct answer.

Consider the following pairs related to the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE):
1. Exhaustion of Local Remedies - Shortened to three years in the India-UAE BIT
2. Redefining Investment - Includes subjective contribution to the host state's development
3. Exclusion of Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) Clause - Included in the India-UAE BIT
4. Exclusion of Taxation Measures - Excluded from ISDS mechanisms in the India-UAE BIT

    Only one pair
  • b)
    Only two pairs
  • c)
    Only three pairs
  • d)
    All four pairs
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

K.L Institute answered

1. Exhaustion of Local Remedies - Shortened to three years in the India-UAE BIT: This statement is correctly matched. The India-UAE BIT has indeed shortened the timeframe for exhausting local remedies before initiating investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) claims to three years, compared to the five years stipulated in India's Model BIT.
2. Redefining Investment - Includes subjective contribution to the host state's development: This statement is incorrectly matched. The India-UAE BIT has removed the subjective criterion of significantly contributing to the host state's development, focusing instead on objective economic characteristics like capital commitment, profit expectation, and risk assumption.
3. Exclusion of Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) Clause - Included in the India-UAE BIT: This statement is incorrectly matched. The India-UAE BIT actually excludes the MFN clause, which is a point of continuity with India's Model BIT. The exclusion helps prevent treaty shopping by investors.
4. Exclusion of Taxation Measures - Excluded from ISDS mechanisms in the India-UAE BIT: This statement is correctly matched. Similar to the Model BIT, the India-UAE BIT excludes tax-related disputes from ISDS mechanisms, reflecting India's stance that taxation is a sovereign function and should not be subject to international arbitration.
Thus, pairs 1 and 4 are correctly matched, making the correct answer Option B: Only two pairs.

1. Green Hydrogen - Hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources: Correct. Green Hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power through the process of electrolysis.
2. Grey Hydrogen - Hydrogen produced using natural gas: Correct. Grey Hydrogen is produced from natural gas through steam methane reforming without capturing the greenhouse gases produced in the process.
3. Blue Hydrogen - Hydrogen produced using nuclear energy: Incorrect. Blue Hydrogen is produced from natural gas, but with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce emissions.
4. Pink Hydrogen - Hydrogen produced using steam methane reforming: Incorrect. Pink Hydrogen is typically associated with hydrogen produced using nuclear energy, not steam methane reforming.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B: Only two pairs.
