What is the Sir Creek region Conflict? Why is the Sir Creek region a Strategic area for India? And, how does Thalweg Doctrine play important role in sir creek Conflict? Explain. (150 words/10 marks)

Approach A brief introduction on Sir creek. A brief discussion on the Sir creek conflict Relevance of Sir Creek area for India. Role of Thalweg Doctrine in sir creek Conflict. Sir Creek is a 96-km strip of water disputed between India and Pakistan in the Rann of Kutch marshlands . The Creek opens up in the Arabian Sea and roughly divides the Kutch region of Gujarat from the Sindh Province of Pakistan. About the conflict The dispute lies in the interpretation of the maritime boundary line between Kutch and Sindh. Before India’s independence, the provincial region was a part of the Bombay Presidency of British India. But after India’s independence in 1947, Sindh became a part of Pakistan while Kutch remained a part of India. Pakistan claims the entirety of Sir Creek citing the 1914 Bombay Government Resolution. India advocates a midstream demarcation citing the 1925 resolution which displayed mid-channel pillar installation. India’s position is also based on the argument that since Sir-Creek is a navigable body of water the Doctrine of Thalweg is applicable. Strategic Importance of Sir Creek area for India- The area is significant for maritime boundary demarcation, hydrocarbon and fishery resources, maritime security, and combating organized crime such as drug trafficking. Another vital reason for the importance of this creek is the possible presence of great oil and gas concentration under the sea. The area is also of great ecological importance with it being home to flamingoes and other species of migratory birds in the winters. Role of Thalweg Doctrine in sir creek Conflict. According to international law and the Thalweg principle, a boundary can only be fixed in the middle of the navigable channel, which meant that it has to be divided between Sindh and Kutch, and thereby India and Pakistan. India has consistently argued that the boundary needs to be fixed in the middle of the creek. Pakistan, however, claims that Sir Creek isn’t navigable but India claims that since it’s navigable in high tide, the boundary should be drawn from the mid-channel. UNCLOS supports India’s stand based on the Thalweg principle for mid-channel demarcation of the boundary. However, it is important to find a resolution to the long-standing issue that is acceptable to all parties. It would be to the benefit of both countries if this issue, considered low-hanging fruit in the basket of disputes between the two countries, is amicably resolved.

Why PSLV is said to be the most reliable space workhorse of ISRO? Briefly discuss the difference between PSLV and GSLV. Mention GSL Mk III development and its application in the space program. (250 words/ 15marks)

Approach Introduce with The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and its success in rocket launching. Then bring the differences between The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and GSLV. Further elaborate GSLV. Then conclude accordingly with future prospects. Answer The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages. Besides, the vehicle successfully launched two spacecraft – Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and Mars Orbiter Spacecraft in 2013 – that later traveled to Moon and Mars respectively. There are many other achievements of PSLV, and why it s a reliable workhorse is discussed below. PSLV is the most reliable workhorse of ISRO as It has been in service for over 20 years and has launched over 40 satellites for 19 countries. Due to its unmatched reliability, PSLV has also been used to launch various satellites into Geosynchronous and Geostationary orbits, like satellites from the IRNSS constellation. Some notable payloads launched by PSLV include India's first lunar probe Chandrayaan-1, India's first interplanetary mission Mangalyaan (Mars orbiter) and India's first space observatory, Astrosat. With its variant configurations, PSLV has proved its multi-payload, multi-mission capability in a single launch, and its geosynchronous launch capability. PSLV-C37 launch successfully carried and placed 104 satellites in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO), a world record beating Russia’s earlier record of 37 satellites. PSLV has been successful in launching small satellites notably Cubesats whose weight ranges from 0.01 to kg-500 kg. PSLV’s heaviest payload has been RISAT-1, weighing 1850 kg. Difference between PSLV and GSLV PSLV for polar sun-synchronous orbit. can also place into GTO (1350 kg class). GSLV for heavier satellites into GTO. Can also place polar satellites into LEO. PSLV works on 4-stage engine(Solid, liquid,solid-liquid) while GSLV on 3-stage- Solid liquid and cryogenic PSLV versions- core alone, standard and XL version, GSLV versions- MK1, MK2, and MK3. Primary PSLV is used to launch Remote sensing satellites while GSLV primarily is used for communication satellites. Development of GSLV Mk III and its application Stage 1-liquid fuel is used. In it “S-200” solid engine strap-on motors are used. It will use the two Vikas engines. Stage 2: Solid fuel-S200 engine. Stage 3: Gaseous fuel-Cryogenic engine (CE-20). GSLV MK3 is India"s largest heavy-weight launch vehicle. It has a payload capacity of 4000 kg into geosynchronous orbits and 8000 kg into the lower earth orbits. The cryogenic engine will be used only in the 3rd stage of the GSLV rocket because it is the stage used in outer space where no oxygen exists. Within the cryogenic engine, both fuel and oxidizer will be used simultaneously. S200 is a solid booster engine. It is the world"s largest solid booster used in the second stage as well in booster strap-on motors. So far we have launched GSLV Mk III, 5 times. All are successful. In 3rd stage of GSLV MK3 India"s largest cryogenic engine was designed and developed by the liquid propulsion system center. S 200 solid rocket engine provides a huge amount of thrust and it is the world"s largest solid booster. In sum, one can conclude that PSLV not only made India self-reliant in space technology but also with help of majorly PSLV started earning with the help of the commercial branch ANTRIX . That is because of the PSLV"s reliability and effectiveness. And It laid the strong foundation for advanced technology related to space
