The Indian cricket team is spoilt for choices; both #DineshKarthik and #RishabhPant are specialist finishers. While Karthik has had to reinvent himself to stay relevant, Pant has natural talent. With Dhoni donning the wicketkeeping gloves for India, the team cannot afford to take both the others for the upcoming 2019 #ODIWorldCup. Surely one will be unlucky...who will it be? Enjoy this video and wait for the naughty but no malice intended #limerick at the end.

Short story: Youtube giving very low income, so now launching paid-online classes at Unacademy. This is the registration link: https://unacademy.com/plus/course/7M73H3TI
Long story is as following:
- Previously, I used to upload full length free lecture series on YouTube wherein, the students will get the content for free and YouTube will pay me for the advertisement. But, over the years, e-Learning channels have mushroomed while the number of advertisement sponsors & their marketing budget have not grown at the same speed, so every Youtube channel receives less money than before, even with increased number of subscribers.
- Then e-learning-walla Youtubers are forced to rake up more daily-views by offering daily news analysis, pib updates, Rajya sabha summaries etc. But even with all that Tomfoolery and Rat-race this whole free-content biz. is giving diminishing returns. So, then they have to monetize their fame by selling PDF modules, online mock test , offline classes and so forth.
- I tried to hold off as long as I could, but my Youtube earnings have diminished greatly.
- Further, the Flipkart & Amazon affiliation also not bringing much commission since book sales are declining with piracy & stagnation (Good books are not written, same aspirant will not buy new edition of Laxmikanth for just 2 chapters and so forth.)
- So, time to accept the realities and embrace the 'dark side' i.e. charging money for teaching. So, here comes my paid live-course on Unacademy's Plus Platform:

https://unacademy.com/plus/course/7M73H3TI

-.-.-.-.-.-
Mrunal’s Economy (Full): Live Online Course for UPSC 2019

- Course Content: I'll be teaching Economy including its theory, Contemporary Issues & Current Affairs including the latest Budget & Economic Survey 2019.
- Target Exam: UPSC Civil Services IAS/IPS Prelims 2019.
- Medium of Instruction: English & Hindi.
- Study-Material: PDF handouts for Rapid Revision before the Prelims with Hindi terminologies for technical words so that vernacular medium mains aspirants' time is saved.

-.-.-.-.-.-
Timing & Launch Date

- Saturday 2 hrs in evening 6PM to 8PM
- Sunday 2 hrs in morning 10:30AM to 12:30PM
- Thus, it's a weekend batch, so, working professionals can also attend it.
- Live online classes. Accessed anywhere in the world through your mobile, tablet, laptop, PC.
- If class is missed, recordings can be watched.
- However, I would encourage the participants to attend the live class, because that'll bring discipline in your study routine and you can absorb & ruminate the lecture & study material in a structured manner, [instead of creating backlog of shows and then doing 'binge-watching' at once.]
- Batch starts from 5th January 2019, Saturday 6PM.

-.-.-.-.-.-
Pricing & Admission Process

- Presently online admission is open at an introductory price of Rs. 7118 + 18% GST = Rs.8400/-
- Seats are limited & they'll continue to increase the fees as the booking process escalates.
- So, it's better to book sooner, than pay higher amount later.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 02 of 12 January 2017. What do we know of India? How do we speak of India? What is the politics of naming? What is the difference between nation, nation-state, state, and civilization? What would be different in speaking about India as a nation-state as opposed to India as a civilization? What is the politics of the national anthem and the national song? What are the essences by which India is known? Then we move to a discussion of the 'representation' of India? What do we mean by representation and what is its politics? What is the apparatus of interpretation by which India has been understood? How are the ideas that shape our understanding of India Orientalist? What is Orientalism? Orientalism is not just about prejudices. What are the Orientalist ways in which the British thought about India? How are hierarchies established, especially between opposites? How is one colonized? What do social scientists do? How do facts get established as facts? What is Ronald Inden arguing? What is the difference between a textbook view of India and a view of India from the ground?

This lecture concludes my remarks on Orientalism, which is not just (or even much) about the "prejudices" of individuals. What is the place of the late 18th century in generating Orientalism? How did some ideas about the 'Orient' attain an explanatory power? How does Ronald Inden understand Orientalism in relation to India? What were the contradictions and anxieties in classic liberalism's exposition of human freedom? What is the politics of representation? Who speaks for whom? What was the view of India held by James Mill, the father of J S Mill? What is the Orientalist discourse of India? What is the nature of colonization? I then move (at 28:00) to the history of the European presence in India and offer some brief remarks on the Portuguese, the French, the Mughal Empire, and the Gujaratis as traders. How did the Portuguese violate the rules of the Indian Ocean trading world? How does one describe the European phase of Indian history? How did it also eviscerate South-South links? How does knowledge do the work of conquest? Some possible differences between the Spanish conquest of the Americas and the European colonization of Asia (and Africa). How were the British different from the Mughals as rulers of India? The British assumption that their own history could serve as a template for understanding the history of India, especially with respect to religious conflict. Some reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire. The East India Company was the beginning of the modern corporation in some ways, yet there is no memorial to the Company in London. There isn't even a plaque really to the original site of the Company in a city where 'heritage' is celebrated.

This lecture is on the beginnings of the East India Company; we attempt to understand how the British were transformed from traders to rulers. The population of India c. 1700 was around 100 million. Whom did the British encounter -- for example, what does it mean to describe them as encountering 'Hindus'? What led the British to India? What kind of diversity did the British find in India? How did England homogenize itself? The view that the British were sucked into India receives a critical consideration. The East India Company was a profit-making enterprise. But what did the Company have to offer to India? Bullion was sent from England to India in return for indigo, cotton textiles, etc. How did the Company establish itself in India? Where did they build "factories"? What kind of corruption existed in the Company? What was happening in Britain? Growth of the company in Britain and India. What were charter rights? Company takes on Aurangzeb in 1688 and suffers a devastating defeat. Death of Aurangzeb in 1707 ushers in a new chapter. Defeat of the French in India, mid-18th century. How did the British and the French insert themselves into the Indian political space?

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 05 of 24 January 2017 (course at UCLA, Winter Quarter). I talk about the economic history of the East India Company in the first half of the 1700s; the triangular trade between India, China, and Britain; growing demand for tea; opium trade; silver bullion; Nadir Shah's invasion of India, 1739; Marathas--plunder and pillage. My attention then shifts to Bengal, to Murshidabad and Calcutta. Murshidabad was an ecumenical place, highly diverse. I introduce Robert Clive, Siraj-ud-Daulah, and the circumstances that led to Plassey and what is called the "Conquest of Bengal". What is the significance of the "Black Hole of Calcutta"? What is iteration in history mean? How are truth effects generated? How did a certain discourse come into shape? What is Macaulay's comparison of Clive and Napolean? I offer some brief remarks on Clive's trial on charges of extortion, bribery, etc. There is a transfer of the revenue of the 24 Parganas to Clive and the Company. I end with the Battle of Buxar, 1764.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 06 of 26 January 2017 (Winter quarter, UCLA). The focus of this lecture is on the 2-3 decades after the Battle of Buxar, 1764. Company soldiers who refused to follow orders were tied to cannon and their bodies were blown into the air. There was increase in private trading and immense private fortunes were amassed. We look at the painting, 'The East Offering Its Wealth to Britannia', by Spiridione Roma, 1777. Where do I agree with William Dalrymple, and where do I disagree? Did the British Indianize themselves at all? What can we say about the Bengal famine of 1769-71? How did cash crops (opium and indigo dye) contribute to the famine? Did the rite of sati increase with the famine? The Company acquires the right to Diwani, the revenues; and as the Company grows, Parliament will seek to exercise control over it. Administrative structure of the Company, Office of the Examiner of Correspondence, and the assumption of the Governor-Generalship of India by Warren Hastings. I end with a discussion of relations between the British and the court of Awadh and the justification of the annexation much later of Awadh--as an illustration of British policy-making in India.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 07 of 31 January 2017 (UCLA). I begin with the East India Company's affairs in India following the conquest; it is a state within a state. The British claim to be bringing a regime of law and order to India. What were the schools of governance that informed British rule in India? The 4four schools were Utilitarianism, Burkeanism, Platonism, Evangelicalism. What were the theories of guardianship and trusteeship? What arguments did Sir William Jones, who is a member of the Supreme Court of Bengal, advance about Sanskrit and Indo-European languages? Why and how were laws pertaining to Hindus and Muhammadans framed differently? Is this the beginning of the deployment of 'religious identity' in India? And how did the British determine which Indian texts were authoritative? and which variant of a text was correct? How did German Biblical criticism become important in assessing the history of Indian texts? I then discuss British conceptions of private property in India and the Permanent Settlement. British rule transferred India from a society based on status to a system based on contract. British rule also led to the collapse of the moral economy.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lecture 08 of 2 February 2017 (Spring term, UCLA). I have a detailed discussion of British views on the governance of India in the first half of the 19th century, and in particular the views of John Malcolm, who wrote a note of instructions to officers on how the British ought to govern India and conduct themselves. British tolerance and the rule of law are contrasted with Oriental Despotism. I turn also to John Gilchrist. What should be the relation between the British and Indian servants? What is the place of manners in governance? what were the pillars of British rule in India? What were the relations between the British and native states? What were the military conquests of the British in the 19th century? The Anglo-Afghan Wars did not fully lead to British triumph; indeed, Afghanistan was, and is, the graveyard of empires. Then I turn to the question of education in colonial India; and weigh in on Macaulay's minute on Indian Education of 2 Feb 1835.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday called the Directors of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Delhi Police Commissioner to look into the material furnished by lawyer Utsav Bains in support of his allegations in the framing of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi in a false sexual harassment case. A bench comprising Justice Arun Mishra, Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman and Justice Deepak Gupta met all the three officers in their chambers. The Apex Court asked Bains to file an additional affidavit to substantiate his allegation that three disgruntled employees of the Supreme Court conspired along with corporate lobbyists to frame sexual harassment allegations against the CJI. After the hearing, Justice Mishra dictated the order, asking for another affidavit by Bains regarding his allegations against the sacked employees. The Court also said that it will decide the issue if privilege can be claimed over the communications between Bains and the alleged conspirators. The bench also clarified that this will not affect the pending inquiry by the in-house panel. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse if there is a conspiracy against the judiciary.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to express disappointment over the postponement of talks with the Taliban and to condemn the insurgent group’s recent announcement of a "spring offensive." Some 250 Afghan politicians and civil society figures had been due to meet with Taliban negotiators in Doha starting on April 19 for the intra-Afghan dialogue. It would have marked the first time that Taliban and Kabul government officials sat together. But the meetings were abruptly cancelled on April 18 amid disagreements about the size and composition of the Afghan delegation. The US State Department said in a statement that Pompeo called Ghani on April 21 and condemned the Taliban's announcement of starting another offensive in the spring. Pompeo also said that the talks present an important opportunity to advance peace. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse the Afghan Peace Talks.

In a significant move to further crackdown on terror, India on Thursday indefinitely suspended cross-LoC trade in Jammu and Kashmir. The decision, effective Friday onwards, came amid reports that it was being misused by elements from across the border to smuggle weapons, narcotics as well as fake currency. The official statement released by the Ministry of Home Affairs said orders have been issued for halting the trade at Salamabad of Baramulla in the Kashmir region, and Chakkan-da-Bagh of Poonch district in the Jammu region. The crackdown comes two months after India withdrew the Most Favoured Nation status to Pakistan in the wake of the dastardly Pulwama terror attack. Although the MHA statement asserts that the decision will be revisited after stricter regulatory mechanisms are put in place to ensure that "only bonafide trade" takes place, which benefits the people of Jammu and Kashmir and does not pose a security threat to the country...On the show today, let's discuss in detail why suspending cross-LoC trade had become imperative for the government and its implications on cross-border trade between India and Pakistan...

After flying for 25 years, Jet Airways on Wednesday announced temporary grounding of operations after the lenders declined a 400-crore rupees lifeline, putting at stake around 20,000 jobs and thousands of crores in passenger refunds, dues to vendors and over 8,500 crore rupees to banks.

Founded by Naresh Goyal, the full-service carrier served tens of millions of passengers for over two-and-half decades, before becoming the seventh domestic carrier to shutter operations in the past five years. However, the once-premier airline flew into deeper turbulence-second in its history after the 2010 crisis– after four back-to-back quarterly losses, leaving it gasping for financial breath and forcing it to default on payments to nearly all–from banks to lessors, to employees, and eventually leading to the shutdown from Wednesday night. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse Jet's fall from grace and implications for the aviation sector

Indonesia's president looks to be on course for re-election, according to unofficial results released within hours of polls closing. Joko Widodo has a lead of more than 10% over his rival, the ex-general Prabowo Subianto, in early results. Official results are not expected until May, but the so-called "quick counts" - undertaken by polling companies - have proved correct in previous years. Indonesia voted on Wednesday in the world's largest one-day election. More than 192 million people were eligible to cast their ballot to select 20,000 local and national lawmakers, including the president. The presidential race was a re-match of the 2014 contest between Widodo and Subianto, who both made political moves in line with the increased prominence of conservative Islam in the country. Muslim-majority Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands and has more than 260 million people. It is home to the world's largest Muslim population. On this edition of the big picture we will anlayse the elections in Indonesia and its implications.

the issue of banning Jaish-e-Muhammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar by the United Nations…

The chief of terror syndicate, responsible for several deadly terror attacks on Indian soil… is a free man in Pakistan… despite pressures from India and many countries across the world… largely due to China not voting for a UN resolution banning him… So far, China has blocked such move four times at a UN forum…

Now, in a latest move… the US, France and the UK have asked China to lift its hold by 23 April on a resolution in UNSC… Getting the resolution to ban Azhar through the UNSC requires all five permanent members… US, France, UK, Russia and China… voting for the resolution or any member abstaining without vetoing the move…

Banning Masood Azhar under UN norms would mean placing strictures on his travel and activities including collecting funds for his Jaish e Mohammed group…

So, what will China do and why it has been blocking moves at the UN to ban Pakistan-based terror group chief
