| 6 | 🔆 Gurudwara Reform Movement (Akali Movement)
📍 Background
🟢 Rationalist and progressive ideas of the 19th century influenced the Sikh community.
🟢 The Singh Sabha Movement, founded at Amritsar in 1873, promoted Western education and countered revivalist influences.
🟢 The Gurudwara Reform Movement, also known as the Akali Movement, emerged as an offshoot of the Singh Sabha Movement.
📍 Objective
🟢 To liberate Sikh Gurudwaras from the control of corrupt mahants, who enjoyed government support.
📍 The Movement
🟢 In 1921, the Akalis launched a mass non-violent, non-cooperation satyagraha against the mahants.
🟢 Groups of agitators compelled mahants and managers to hand over control of Gurudwaras to local devotees.
🟢 Initially, the government supported the reformers but changed its approach as the movement increasingly became linked with the national movement.
📍 Government Response
🟢 The British passed the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1922, which was amended in 1925.
🟢 The legislation transferred control of Gurudwaras to the Akalis to appease the Moderate Akalis, while the government used repression against the Extremist Akalis.
📍 Significance
🟢 The Akalis participated in the freedom struggle whenever called upon.
🟢 Though the movement was sectarian in character, it was not communal.
🟢 It represented the assertion of Sikh religious autonomy against corrupt control and colonial interference.

| 12 |  🔆 DGFT Enables Automated Issuance of Free Sale and Commerce Certificates
📍 Why in News?
🟢 The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has automated the issuance of Free Sale and Commerce Certificates (FSCs) for eligible applications, replacing manual scrutiny with rule-based processing.
📍 What is an FSC?
🟢 An FSC certifies that a product is freely sold and commercially available in the country of manufacture.
🟢 It is commonly required by importing countries for products such as food, nutraceuticals, agri-products, cosmetics, herbal preparations and chemicals.
🟢 In India, FSCs are issued by DGFT Regional Authorities (RAs) for eligible items outside the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940.
📍 What has Changed?
🟢 Earlier: All applications underwent manual scrutiny by Regional Authorities, causing delays of several days to weeks.
🟢 Now: Eligible applications are checked against an automated rule-set on the DGFT portal and certificates are issued immediately.
🟢 Applications requiring verification are routed to the concerned RA.
🟢 Auto-approved applications may later be reviewed under a risk-management framework.
📍 Key Shift
🟢 Manual gate → Risk-based digital processing
🟢 The system enables instant clearance for compliant exporters while human scrutiny is focused on risk-flagged applications.
📍 Significance
🟢 Reduces processing time and compliance burden.
🟢 Improves predictability and ease of doing business.
🟢 Supports paperless and digital trade facilitation.
🟢 Complements systems such as ICEGATE and SWIFT.
🟢 Advances the objectives of the National Trade Facilitation Action Plan (NTFAP) and India’s commitments under the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement.
📍 Challenges
🟢 Automation depends on a well-designed eligibility rule-set.
🟢 Weak ex-post verification could reduce regulatory oversight.
🟢 Small exporters may face digital-readiness challenges.
🟢 Adequate support is needed to ensure that benefits also reach MSMEs and smaller exporters.
📍 About DGFT
🟢 DGFT implements India’s Foreign Trade Policy and issues IEC, Advance Authorisations, EPCG licences and trade-related certificates.
📍 Key Takeaway
🟢 The automation of FSCs reflects a shift towards technology-driven and risk-based trade governance, with routine applications cleared digitally and regulatory scrutiny focused on higher-risk cases.
🔹 UPSC Mains Question:
“The automation of Free Sale and Commerce Certificates reflects India’s shift from front-end manual controls towards risk-based digital trade facilitation. Examine its significance and the challenges in ensuring equitable benefits for small and medium exporters.”

📍 Why in News?
🟢 SEBI has introduced the IT Resilience Index (ITRI) for Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs).
📍 What is ITRI?
🟢 A quantitative regulatory scorecard to assess the technological resilience of critical capital-market infrastructure.
🟢 Measures cybersecurity, fault tolerance, reliability and disaster-recovery capabilities.
🟢 Similar to how capital adequacy ratios assess financial health in banking, ITRI measures digital resilience in capital markets.
📍 Key Features

🟢 Scalability – 5% evaluates the ability to handle sudden transaction-volume surges.
🟢 Requires an automated Early Warning System (EWS) to detect performance degradation, latency spikes and hardware stress.
📍 Objective
🟢 Ensure trading, clearing, settlement and depository systems can withstand, absorb and recover from cyberattacks, software failures, operational shocks and transaction surges.
📍 Significance

| 15 | 🔆 Colonial Knowledge: Knowledge as an Instrument of Colonial Rule
📍 Why did the British study India?
🟢 Colonial conquest was achieved not only through superior arms, military organisation, political power and economic wealth, but also through “cultural technologies of rule”, as noted by Nicholas Dirks. Knowledge of Indian laws, customs, languages, society and geography helped the colonial state understand, classify and govern India more effectively.
📍 Warren Hastings and Colonial Knowledge
🟢 Warren Hastings wanted to end the Dual Government system under Robert Clive and lay the foundation of territorial rule in Bengal. However, he was not in favour of introducing English laws and ways in India. He preferred to rule the “conquered in their own way” by reconciling British rule with native Indian institutions.
🟢 Greater knowledge of Indian manners, customs, laws and literature would make British rule more acceptable to Indians and help keep revolts away.
📍 Asiatic Society of Bengal
🟢 Established by William Jones in 1784, the Society aimed to systematically study and unearth knowledge about Asia. Its journal was Asiatick Researches.
🟢 William Jones acquired mastery over Sanskrit language and literature. He authored A Digest of Hindu Law on Contract and Succession, which was translated into English and published after his death by Henry Thomas Colebrook in 1796.
🟢 Charles Wilkins translated the Bhagavad Gita.
🟢 Henry T. Colebrook, a renowned Orientalist and successor to Jones, was appointed Professor of Sanskrit at Fort William in 1800. He studied the Vedas, placed them chronologically before the Puranas and outlined the existence of a monotheistic tradition in ancient India.
📍 Codification of Hindu Laws
🟢 Hastings’ judicial reforms revealed differing interpretations of local laws by Brahman Pandits based on different schools of Dharmashastra.
🟢 To bring uniformity, 11 Pandits compiled a digest of Hindu laws, which N.B. Halhed translated into English as A Code of Gentoo Laws.
🟢 A Code of Gentoo Laws and A Digest of Hindu Law on Contract and Succession emerged as authoritative texts on Hindu law, with the Company government bearing the cost of their compilation and publication.
📍 Survey and Mapping
🟢 The office of the Surveyor General of Bengal was established under Warren Hastings, and James Rennell became its first Surveyor General in 1764.
🟢 Rennell produced the Map of Hindoostan, the first authoritative mapping exercise of India. Sepoys and British Army officials were engaged in the survey and mapping process.
📍 Administrators-cum-Scholars
🟢 Fort William College contributed to the emergence of administrators-cum-scholars, who applied their knowledge of India to colonial administration and induced significant changes in Indian society.
📍 Conclusion
🟢 Thus, colonial knowledge was not merely academic. The systematic study of India’s laws, texts, languages, customs and geography became an important instrument for administering, controlling and legitimising colonial rule.
