Discuss the centrality of ASEAN bloc in India's Act East policy and SAGAR initiative.

The Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) comprises Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam. Located at the intersection of the Indo-Pacific region, Southeast Asia finds itself at the centre of the emerging great power competition. In that context, the concept of ASEAN Centrality has emerged, which means:
India’s focus on a strengthened and multi-faceted relationship with ASEAN is an outcome of the significant changes in the world’s political and economic scenario since the early 1990s. At present, India accepts ASEAN centrality in its Act East policy and SAGAR initiative.
The centrality of ASEAN bloc in India’s Act East Policy can be understood in following terms:
India’s SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) doctrine is linked to maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean region to counter China’s 21st Century Maritime Silk Route, which has both commercial and military implications in the form of String of Pearls strategy. It x also embraces the concept of ASEAN centrality:
The Prime Minister in his keynote address at Shangri La dialogue 2018 had stressed on the centrality of ASEAN as a key element of India’s conception of the Indo-Pacific. Thus, a cohesive and responsive ASEAN is essential for India’s Act East policy and SAGAR initiative. However, ASEAN is itself struggling to retain its internal coherence today. There have been serious differences on how to deal with the military coup in Myanmar. The land-based states such as Cambodia and Laos are indebted towards China and want a softer policy. India’s withdrawal from RCEP and its joining with QUAD is being considered as a potential threat to the ASEAN centrality. In that context, India needs to look beyond ASEAN or make its strategies more transparent.

Article 22 of the Indian Constitution ensures protection of life and personal liberty by providing protection against arrest and detention in certain cases.

Article 22 of the Indian Constitution ensures protection of life and personal liberty by providing protection against arrest and detention in certain cases. However, certain provisions of the article are argued to be the fundamental dangers to the citizens of India.
In this context it is also argued that there has been reckless use of the preventive detention law, as evident from the following:
The objective of preventive detention is not to punish but restrain a person without trial to prevent public disorder. But it is imperative that the State does not arbitrarily resort to it to deal with all and sundry law and order problems, which could be dealt with by the ordinary law of the land. The power of preventive detention must be confined to very narrow limits and it must fall within the four corners of Article 21 (due process of law) read with Article 22 (safeguards against arbitrary arrest and detention).

Pedogenesis, or soil formation, is a continuous process regulated by the effects of environment, time and geological history. It involves biogeochemical processes that act to both create and destroy order within soils leading to development of layers, termed as soil horizons, distinguished by differences in colour, structure, texture, and chemistry.
There are various factors responsible for soil formation
a. Active factors, whose influence over soil development, is directly observed. These include:
b.Passive factors, as their effects are not immediately observed. They control how climate and organisms affect soil development and formation. These include:
Processes involved in the soil formation: Soil formation takes place through various stages like addition, losses, transformation and translocation which takes place through various processes like.
There are also other soil forming processes, which are much important in the macro-scale pattern of Podzolization soil formation, which includes
The collective interaction of these processes sets a course of soil forming process, which determines the characteristics of soil.

The caste system is a form of social stratification that is hierarchical in nature and is based on the notions of purity and pollution. It is an institutionalized system of “domination and exclusion” that structures opportunities and outcomes. In India, there is a clear dichotomy in how the caste system is practised in rural areas vis-à-vis urban areas. In cities, where caste is not the fundamental basis of distinction, there is greater mobility and choice, whereas, in rural regions, caste forms the basis of hierarchy and segregation when it comes to occupation, social networking, etc. In this context, despite the fact that urban areas have contributed more towards social transformation based on reduction in caste-based differences and discrimination, caste inequities still exist and manifest in different forms. This is reflected from the following:
While some extreme indignities related to caste may be less prevalent in cities, caste-based discrimination continues, often taking on new forms. Caste transforms, and in turn is transformed by life in the city.

The 1929 Lahore session of Congress happened in the backdrop of several important events that had prepared a foundation for launching the next stage of Indian freedom struggle i.e., demand of “Poorna Swaraj”. The Government of India Act, 1919 caused discontentment with the British policies further compounded by the all-white Simon Commission of 1927. Lord Birkenhead had challenged the nationalists to draft a constitution that was acceptable to all. Also, the session took place amidst the breakdown of negotiations between leaders of the freedom movement and the British over the question of dominion status as Lord Irwin retraced back on his declaration that India would be granted dominion status in future. He changed his stance after backlash in England and said that he could not promise dominion status anytime soon. The key highlights of the 1929 session, which make it a defining moment in India’s freedom struggle and shaped the vision for an independent India in following ways:
Hence, the 1929 Lahore session heralded a new phase of political struggle and ideology. The Indian nationalists unambiguously upheld the principles of self-rule and self-determination by adopting Poorna Swaraj, which reinvigorated the freedom struggle from time to time and was a major causative factor for the events that unfolded till 1947.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) refers to the current and developing era of technological changes and advancements, characterized by the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing, and other technologies. It has the potential to revolutionize the world in every aspect of human life, from manufacturing and transportation to healthcare and education. For instance, IR 4.0 promises to increase efficiency and productivity through the use of automation, artificial intelligence, and other digital technologies. This could lead to significant improvements in areas such as healthcare, where Al and machine learning algorithms can be used to analyze medical data and improve diagnoses and treatments. Moreover, it can make logistics and global supply chains more effective in driving economic growth. However, IR 4.0 also presents challenges and potential risks, such as job displacement due to automation and the need for upskilling and reskilling of workers to adapt to the new technological landscape. It could yield greater inequality, particularly in its potential to disrupt labor markets. There are also concerns around data privacy and security, as well as the ethical implications of the use of Al and other advanced technologies. In consideration of the above potential challenges, the Indian government should focus on the following key areas to aid Indian enterprises:
The rapidly changing technology landscape offers India a good opportunity to industrialize. The democratic nature of technology may be able to assist Indian businesses in overcoming their legacy issues and becoming globally competitive. To secure India’s active involvement in the fourth industrial revolution, it will be necessary to restructure some vital domestic industries and strengthen institutional capability.
