Dear Aspirants,
We feel great pleasure in bringing the 'November 2018' edition of our very own 'Masters in Current Affairs', a platform where you get all the exam related information at a single place. It is designed especially for the forthcoming examinations. Its regular sections such as News Maker, News Diary, One-liners etc. cover each and every news in details which is important for examinations. Rest of the news are covered in 'Chalte - Chalte' i.e. one-liner news, which you can find at the bottom of each page.
Some important issues of this month were discussed in featured articles.
One among them is ‘DECRIMINALIZATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY’ i.e., A landmark judgment by India’s highest court has overturned a colonial-era law that criminalizes consensual gay sex, in a long-fought-for victory for the LGBTQ community. The court verdict is a major milestone for LGBTQ-identifying people across the country, where homosexuality remains a social taboo and gay people face endemic discrimination. And all the minute details are mentioned inside.
Then an article about ‘US-IRAN RELATION’, Iran and the United States have had no diplomatic relations since 1980. Pakistan serves as Iran's protecting power in the United States, while Switzerland serves as America's protecting power in Iran. Contacts are carried out through the Iranian Interests Section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, DC, and the US Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran. Iranian Supreme leader Ali Khamenei banned direct talks with the United States in 2018.
Relations between the two nations began in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Initially, while Iran was very wary of British and Russian colonial interests during the Great Game, the United States was seen as a more trustworthy foreign power, and much more is given the whole article.
Later we’ll see ‘IS KERALA FLOOD A MAN-MADE DISASTER’ While Kerala is slowly limping back to normalcy, with the unprecedented flood, a new controversy has erupted that the flood was a man-made disaster. Many experts claim that 41.44% excess rainfall this time, which is linked to floods is not the reason for disaster rather the opening of shutters of 44 dams at the same time without offering any kinds of warning is the primary reason. Kerala has around 53 large dams with a capacity of nearly 7 trillion litres. As rain poured and the rivers overflowed, these dams should have served as a rampart wall. Other important details are mentioned inside.
And an article about ‘INDIA'S PERFORMANCE IN 18TH ASIAN GAMES’, India’s final tally at the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia read 69 medals – 15 gold, 24 silver and
30 bronze to surpass the medal count from 2010 Games in Guangzhou, China and match the gold medal tally from the first-ever Asian Games in 1951. The games saw India create new national records, register some firsts – the first medal in sepaktakraw, with Rani Rampal as the flag bearer at the closing ceremony and much more in the article given inside.
