A.K. Gopalan vs The State Of Madras (1950) Theme: Right to life Judgement Supreme Court of India contented that there was no violation of Fundamental Rights enshrined in Articles 13, 19, 21 and 22 under the provisions of the Preventive Detention Act, if the detention was as per the procedure established by law.

Dragon Drones 📌Why in the news: Videos have emerged on social media of the Ukrainian military dropping ‘Dragon' drones on the Russian army in the Russia-held region of Kharkiv in Ukraine. 📌What are Dragon Drones? 🌟Dragon drones are high-precision drones that release thermite, a mixture of aluminium and iron oxide. 🌟Thermite, developed over a century ago to weld railroad tracks, can trigger a self-sustaining reaction when ignited. 🌟 It burns through nearly everything, including clothes, trees, and military- grade vehicles, and can even burn underwater. 🌟On human contact, thermite causes severe burns and bone damage, often fatal. 🌟The combination of thermite and drones makes these weapons highly effective and difficult to counter. #Defence https://indianexpress.com/article/upsc-current-affairs/upsc-essentials/knowledge-nugget-dragon-drones-russia-ukraine-war-upsc-9618721/
