Concept of the Day (Polity) What is “Transformative Constitutionalism”? Justice Chandrachud defined that “Transformative constitutionalism refers to the infusion of the values of liberty, equality, fraternity and dignity in the social order. Thus, transformative constitutionalism is an inevitable as well as a significant process that helps to define the essence for democracy and a constitution within it.” Judgements on Adultery, Consensual Same Sex Relationships, Triple Talaq and the current hearings on Same Sex Marriages are a few examples of Transformative Constitutionalism. #upsc #polity

Panzootic – a pandemic in the animal world. - For the past 40 years, a devastating fungal disease has been ravaging frog populations around the world, wiping out 90 species. - Chytridiomycosis, or “chytrid” for short, has driven severe declines in over 500 frog species and caused 90 extinctions, including seven in Australia. - The extreme rate of mortality, and the high number of species affected, makes chytrid unequivocally the deadliest animal disease known to date. - Chytrid infects frogs by reproducing in their skin. The single ­celled fungus enters a skin cell, multiplies, then breaks back out onto the surface of the animal. This damage to the skin affects the frog’s ability to balance water and salt levels, and eventually leads to death if infection levels are high enough. - Chytrid originated in Asia. It’s believed that global travel and trade in amphibians led to the disease being unwittingly spread to other continents. #upsc #Environment
