Primary factor for government failure in Bangladesh
Political Instability: Deep corruption and mostly between the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) have drastically distinguished Bangladesh. This has caused regular strikes, demonstrations, and problems in creating a coherent governance structure.
Authoritarianism: The Sheikh Hasina administration has been slammed for eroding democratic institutions, stifling dissent, and centralizing power. Further undermining the government are charges of vote-rigging and suppression of opposition.
Economic problems: Despite first growth, Bangladesh currently faces inflation, a rising trade deficit, and a falling foreign exchange reserves that are putting financial stress on the nation. These have led the common people to consider the laws unfavorably.
Great corruption in government, administration, and public services shakes the people’s faith and leads to policy stagnation.
Driving people apart are human rights abuses such suppression of free speech, media censorship, and excessive police use against political dissent.
6. Social and Environmental Issues: Increasing inequality, unemployment, and climate change challenges such as recurrent floods and displacement have added to the failure of the government in redressing public grievances.
Impact on India Foreign Policy
1. Border Security: Especially from Assam and West Bengal, political and economic instability in Bangladesh could lead to more cross border migration into IndiaThis could only be prevented if India improved its border control system in preventing illegal immigrants and smuggled goods from Bangladesh.
Strain on Bilateral Relations: Sheikh Hasina government has always been India’s closest ally for decades. The growing unrest and anti-India sentiments in various parts of Bangladesh might be putting a strain on this relationship.
3. Radical Forces: Political instability would open up Bangladesh to radical forces that can threaten regional security. In such a scenario, India and Bangladesh would have to work together even more closely on counterterrorism initiatives.
4. Teesta Water-sharing Agreement and other regional connectivity: Instability may continue to jeopardize the implementation of the water-sharing agreement on Teesta or regional connectivity plans that adversely affect Indian economic and strategic interests in the region.
At this moment, with Bangladesh in chaos inside China will most probably start to exert more power by offering its financial or political support. India should balance these by means of economics and diplomatic engagement.
Bangladesh instability could be contagious for the whole South Asia area, therefore affecting organizations throughout the region such as SAARC. India might have to reconsider its approach to neighborhood stability.

The word Permaculture can be split into Perma and Culture, and to expand it – “permanent” and “agriculture”. The concept of permaculture emphasizes on using the land sustainably.
How different is it from Conventional Chemical Farming?
It wouldn’t be an overstatement that Permaculture is one or many levels ahead of Traditional farming. While the former encourages polyculture farming, the latter is about predominant monoculture crop growing practices.
Conventional chemical farming can have an adverse impact on the soil health. But this is not an issue with permaculture farming, in most cases.
Conventional chemical farming is easier, as it has been in practice for decades and centuries. On the other hand, permaculture farming requires proper strategies for successful harvesting.

The Doctrine of Frustration concerns the legal relationship that because of occurrence of some events beyond reasonable contemplation it becomes impossible to perform and therefore the parties are discharged of the performance of the contract. Section 56 of the Indian Contract Act,1872 enshrines this principle to the effect of saying that ‘every contract to do an impossible act is void’. The contract becomes frustrated when there is an event that has the affect of making the purpose of the contract impossible, unlawful or totally unexpected by both the parties to the contract.
The most famous of these are the Indian case Of Satyabrata Ghose v. Mugneeram Bangur & Co. (1954). In this case, the role of Supreme court referred to the decision making under the rule of frustration that Say the contract becomes frustrated where there is a condition that went to the root of the contract and made its performance impossible. In the case, it is shown that the building land contract was interrupted due to the governmental orders during the Second World War. That is why the Courts ruled that due to the war related restriction the parties were unable to perform their obligations under the contract and thus, the contract was frustrated.
Disaffection cannot be recorded where the issue of the challenge in performance is temporal or where the event was anticipated. It is also not allowed where the contract has provided for how particular incidences should be handled in as much as they are contingencies.

These two legal doctrines fall under civil procedure but, they do not have the same roles nor do they occur in similar contexts.
RES JUDICATA SECTION 11 of CPC.

Application: Used where there is a previous decision of the superior court on the same issueThe same parties or their representativesA competent court of law.
Effect: Stops future legal actions on an issue between two parties until the initial proceeding has been resolved.
*RES SUBJUDICE SECTION 10 OF CPC*
Meaning: It means a case under the consideration of the court of law or a matter that is before the court.
Purpose: It serves as protection against the initiation of similar actions in different courts concerning the same matter
Application: Used when a case is under consideration in another chamberWhich is still pending in a competent court having jurisdiction
Effect: Demands a stay of the proceedings in the subsequent suit until the first suit has been resolved.
Timing: While Res Judicata takes place after the last judgment, Res Subjudice occurs during the conduct of a case.
Outcome: Res Judicata prevents subsequent actions all together while Res Subjudice only freezes them for the time being.
Finality: Res Judicata entails a finality while Res Subjudice on the other hand pertains to cases still in progress. Both are meant to avoid the risk of different outcomes, save time and resources, and yet they work at different steps in the legal system.

Green chemistry focuses on creating chemicals and processes that are safer for people and the environment. Here are the key principles and how they help reduce environmental impact:
- Prevent Waste: Design processes that generate little or no waste. For example, using all materials efficiently in manufacturing means less leftover waste.
- Safer Chemicals: Use chemicals that are safe for both humans and nature. For instance, choosing biodegradable cleaning agents over toxic ones reduces harm.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy use by designing processes that work at lower temperatures or use renewable energy, like solar power, instead of fossil fuels.
- Renewable Resources: Use materials that can be replenished, like plant-based ingredients, instead of non-renewable resources like oil.
- Biodegradable Products: Create products that break down naturally after use, like compostable packaging, to minimize pollution.
