Dr. Ambedkar expected that Article 356 would remain a dead letter. But it is observed that since independence this provision has been used/misused multiple times. Should it be repealed because it harms the spirit of federalism? Critically Comment. (150 words/ 10 marks)

Approach Introduction- Mention the constitutional provision and ground for imposition of Article 356 Mention how the article 356 has been misused In the second part of body, mention hot the spirit of federalism has been harmed Give the solution to not repeal the Article 356 Write an appropriate conclusion Answer Under Article 356 of the Constitution of India, in the event that a state government is unable to function according to constitutional provisions, the Central government can take direct control of the state machinery. Why there is misuse – 1. Ideological differences - used to dismiss state governments where the party in power is not the same as that ruling at the Centre 2. Partisan roleof Governo r - governor controlled by a ruling party is making decisions that could result in a different political party either retaining or losing power, as is currently the case in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand 3. The defection of political members 4. Less secure governments have a greater propensity to misuse President’s Rule 6. Due to less clarity on anti-defection law the disqualified MLA’s, not allowed to enter into the house, does floor test elsewhere. 7. Due to cases, horse trading center may find it expedient to impose emergency. How such misuse harms the spirit of federalism: 1. Centre can make laws on state subject, which goes against the division of subjects in union and state list. 2. Promotes competitive federalism and undermines cooperation between the centre and states. 3. Promotes misuse of the position of governor, leading to politicization of this position. 4. Obstructs the smooth working of the administration in the states. Solution to this issue rather than repealing it – 1. Implementing the suggestions suggested by Sarkaria commission and Justice Venkatachaliah Commission who have said that the “federalism” needs to be strengthened even at the cost of more decentralization and greater regional autonomy, to prevent the disintegration of the nation through violence and anarchy 2. It should be used very sparingly, in extreme cases, as a measure of last resort, when all other alternatives fail to prevent or rectify a breakdown of constitutional machinery in the state 3. The spirit of "co-operative federalism" can preserve the balance between the Union and the states and promote the good of the people 4. Promoting values of idea of liberal governance and democratic values 5. Making the Governors political neutral in true sense 6. Making stringent procedures for defections Conclusion Therefore, abusive use of A356 is trample upon the federal structure and hampers the very idea of Indian nationhood, hence it should be used in “rarest of rare case".

What do you understand about the different types of ocean currents? Discuss the various ocean currents in the Indian Ocean with diagrams. (150 Words/10 Marks)

Approach: Define Ocean Currents in brief. Write the types of ocean currents with examples. Then explain the Ocean currents found in the Indian Ocean region. Conclude by writing the significance of ocean currents briefly. Answer: Ocean currents are continuous movements of water in the ocean that follow set paths, a kind of river in the ocean. Types of Ocean currents: There are two types of Ocean Currents, based on depth, viz. surface currents (surface circulation- which make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean) and deep water currents (thermohaline circulation- which makes up the other 90% of the ocean). Based on temperature, Ocean currents are classified into two types: cold currents (Labrador Current) and warm currents (Kuroshio current). Ocean Currents in the Indian Ocean region can be divided into two broad categoriesSouthern Indian Ocean: A. Southern Indian Ocean: Southern Indian Ocean Equitorial current: Warm Current. It divides into Mozambique Stream & Madagascar Stream. Later they merge and form Agulhas Current. Agulhas current Mixes with the cold west wind drift. West Australian Cold current.All these complete the gyre in the southern Indian Ocean. B. Northern Indian Ocean: There are no ocean currents in the northern Indian ocean. It is flanked by two marginal seas ie The Arabian sea & the Bay of Bengal. The global winds are absent here and regional winds dominate this area. During Summer: The prevailing winds are Southwest Monsoonal winds these are the modified southeast trade winds crossing the equator and are deflected towards their right and so the water from the southern hemisphere crosses the equator moves along the coast of Africa into Yemen, Oman, and the Persian Gulf in the western side. The waters from the Persian Gulf circulate into the Indian subcontinent along the coast of Pakistan into the west coast of India, the East Coast of India, and move along the coast of Bangladesh. The Waters then turn to the south from the Bangladesh coast into the coast of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia then crosses the equator and joins the south equatorial current. During Winters: As the winds reverse from the southwest into northeast monsoonal winds and so does the water circulation in the marginal seas. The water in the bay of Bengal off the coast of Myanmar & Bangladesh enters the east coast of India, and into the west coast of India & Pakistan. The waters then circulate into the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman & Aden enter into the Red sea. The waters from the coast of Pakistan, and Yemen also move along the coast of Africa, along the equator the water flows as counter equatorial current reaching the coast of Sumatra, Malaysia. The counter equatorial current is found only during the NE monsoonal period. North Indian ocean equatorial current is completely absent. The ocean currents are very important in determining the climates of different regions of the world, especially those regions bordering on the ocean. By moving heat from the equator toward the poles, ocean currents play an important role in controlling the climate. Ocean currents are also critically important to sea life. They carry nutrients and food to organisms that live permanently attached in one place and carry reproductive cells and ocean life to new places.
