Sporadic Violence in Kokarajhar: Civil Services Mentor Magazine September 2012 Posted: 01 Sep 2012 02:52 AM PDT Sporadic Violence in Kokarajhar ASSAM IS BURNING: WHO CARES The riot-torn Kokrajhar district of Assam witnessed sporadic incidents of violence last month even as flag marches were conducted by the Army and additional paramilitary forces deployed. The manner and pattern of violence are of concern to the security forces. There is a fear that militant Bodo and Muslim groups are preparing for a long-drawn battle. Army personnel say "this could be just the beginning" of a prolonged fight, as several militant groups are hiding around 1,200 firearms. The affected place is South Assam- Kokrajhar, Chirang, Bongaigaon and Dhubri districts, where more than 74 people have died and 450,000 rendered homeless. For the people of Kokrajhar district, the main concern is supply of essentials whose prices have skyrocketed. It has almost been a week since suppliers discontinued sending vehicles here. This is not the first incident of violence in what are now called the Bodoland Territorial Areas Districts (BTAD), administered by the nonautonomous Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) formed in 2003.  In 1996, conflict erupted between Bodos and Santhals, an indigenous tribal community residing in Kokrajhar and Bongaigaon districts. Nearly 80 people died in ethnic clashes, over 100,000 were left homeless as their houses were burnt and another 250,000 fled to temporary camps. In 1998, 14 Santhals were killed by Bodos in Kokrajhar district after two Bodos were killed and around 100 houses burnt by Santhals. 50 people died and some 300,000 moved to refugee camps. Within a span of two years, nearly 5.5 lakh people were living in camps. The Bodo-Santhal conflict again resurfaced in 2004, displacing another 37,000 people. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012.

The God is Discovered: Civil Services Mentor Magazine September 2012 Posted: 01 Sep 2012 02:39 AM PDT The God is Discovered Scientists at CERN, the European Organization forNuclear Research, discovered a new sub-atomic particle called Higgs Boson or God's Particle. The new discovery is being considered as a gateway to a new era in understanding the universe's great mysteries including dark matter. Scientists had predicted the existence of Higgs Boson, which is also referred to as God's Particle, in 1964. The particle was named Higgs Boson after Peter Higgs and Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. Peter Higgs was one of six authors who wrote the revolutionary papers covering what is now known as the Higgs mechanism and described the related Higgs field and boson. The term God particle was first used by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman. The term is now a more popular term for Higgs Boson which explains how the subatomic universe works and got started. Scientists have finally locked onto Higgs boson, the 'God particle', a discovery that crowns the global scientific community's most challenging and comprehensive quest for the subatomic particle rightly regarded as "the key to the cosmic riddle". read more © 2012 www.upscportal.com Study Kits for IAS Mains 2012.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Sci & Tech Issues - GM Crops Debate [Consensual Versus Adversarial Approaches] Posted: 31 Aug 2012 11:47 PM PDT Science and Technological Issues GM Crops Debate : Consensual Versus Adversarial Approaches In general, there are two ways to resolve differences in viewpoints and opinions between individuals or groups. One is the adversarial approach, as adopted in wars between nations, in courts of law between opposite parties, and in democracies, between Government and the opposition. For every winner here, there is also a loser hence making it a zero-sum game. Sport is also adversarial, but in an enjoyable way for participants and spectators alike. On the other hand, the establishment of viewpoints in science occurs not adversarial approach but consensual. A quintessential feature of scientific research activity, which every academic scientist takes for granted, but largely unknown to the general public, is that of peer review. Peer review represents the epitome of a consensual approach in scientific discourse. Because science is human endeavour at the boundaries or frontiers of the unknown, scientists recognize that any new knowledge that is generated can only be assessed and evaluated by other practitioners at these boundaries, namely, their peers. Thus, in addition to undertaking their own research, scientists are under an unwritten moral obligation to accept the task of reviewing the work of their peers. The reviewers are critics but not adversaries, and it is only when they reach consensus with the proponents of the research can a scientific advance be published and made known to the world. Peer review does have its share of minor shortcomings in its actual practice. Dear Candidate, This Material is from Our Study Kit of Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012 .

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: PIB - Hydrogen [Energy of The Future] Posted: 31 Aug 2012 11:36 PM PDT Press Information Bureau Hydrogen: Energy of The Future Hydrogen - a colourless, odourless gas is increasingly gaining attention as a future source of energy free from environmental pollution. Its new use has been found in the automobile and power generation sector. The biggest advantage with hydrogen is that it has the highest energy content per unit mass among known fuels and it burns to produce water as a by-product. It is, therefore, not only an efficient energy carrier but also an environmentally benign fuel as well. In fact, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy have been supporting a broad based research, development and demonstration (RD&D) programme on different aspects of hydrogen energy for over two decades. Consequently, a National Hydrogen Energy Road Map was prepared in 2005 which provides for various pathways for development of hydrogen energy i.e. production, storage, transport, safety, delivery and applications. However, the current technologies for use of hydrogen are yet to be optimized and commercialized but efforts for the same have already started.
