🐾 FEMALE SPOTTED HYENAS: INHERITED POWER & PRIVILEGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ THE ISSUE
A 30-year study of 2,743 wild spotted hyenas in Tanzania found that female cubs inherit their social rank from their mothers.
👑 Higher rank means better access to food, allies and breeding opportunities—allowing privileged female lineages to produce more descendants over generations.
🧬 Key Insight:
Social position can be inherited without being purely genetic → creating reproductive inequality across generations.
🎯 PRELIMS BOOSTER
🔹 Crocuta crocuta → Spotted Hyena
🔹 Matrilineal society → rank passes through maternal line
🔹 Females dominate males
🔹 Ngorongoro Crater → Tanzania
🔹 Leibniz-IZW • Science Advances
🔹 Faecal DNA → paternity analysis
📝 MAINS | GS-III
🔸 Social vs genetic inheritance
🔸 Animal behaviour & evolutionary biology
🔸 Female–female competition
🔸 Darwin–Bateman paradigm

🏦 BRICS & NDB: INDIA’S STRATEGIC BET
GS-II | Global Governance & Economy
⚡ THE ISSUE
BRICS represents ~40% of global GDP and 55% of the world’s population, but its IMF voting share is only ~11%.
The New Development Bank (NDB) remains BRICS’ key economic instrument, yet faces capital constraints, slow disbursement and sanctions-related challenges.
🇮🇳 India’s Strategy
Strengthen NDB through higher capital, wider membership and local-currency lending—without deepening Beijing’s strategic leverage.
🎯 PRELIMS BOOSTER
NDB • Fortaleza Summit • Shanghai HQ • AIIB • Local-Currency Lending • Rupee Bonds • BRICS
📝 MAINS | GS-II
🔹 IMF/World Bank reform
🔹 BRICS vs Western financial order
🔹 De-dollarisation & strategic autonomy
🔹 NDB as Global South financing platform
🔹 India’s balancing strategy
💡 UPSC TAKEAWAY
Make BRICS more effective—without making it more China-centric.
