Study Notes

Article 17 of GDPR outlines the Right to Erasure, allowing individuals to request the deletion of personal data under specific conditions.
India currently lacks a statutory framework for the Right to be Forgotten, although the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 and various court rulings have recognized this right.
The Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 allows individuals to restrict or prevent the disclosure of personal data if:
- The data is no longer necessary for its intended purpose.
- Consent was given but later withdrawn.
- The data processing violates the Bill or any applicable law.

The KS Puttaswamy case (2017) identified the Right to Privacy, which encompasses the Right to be Forgotten and the Right to be Left Alone.
In 2021, the Delhi High Court ruled on the Right to be Forgotten, suggesting it includes the removal of online information, even for acquitted individuals.
The court affirmed that this right is inherent to privacy, allowing the removal of embarrassing or damaging information, particularly for individuals with a clean record.

AUKUS Security Partnership

AUKUS, formed in 2021, is a trilateral security partnership between Australia, the UK, and the US, aimed at enhancing security in the Indo-Pacific region.
The partnership focuses on integrating Pacific Islands and South-East Asia, particularly tracking dark shipping vessels evading detection.
AUKUS seeks to share US nuclear submarine technology with Australia and utilizes Open-RAN technology to ensure interoperable mobile network architecture.

Uttar Pradesh's 'Love Jihad' Law

Uttar Pradesh's Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion Law criminalizes religious conversion through misrepresentation, coercion, or fraud.
The law increases maximum punishment for unlawful conversions from 20 years to life imprisonment and broadens the grounds under which complaints may be filed.
It mandates 2 declarations for persons converting religions and requires police inquiries into the "real intention" behind conversions.

Historical Court Rulings on Religious Conversions

Rev. Stainislaus vs State of Madhya Pradesh (1977) ruled the right to propagate religion does not include the right to convert others.
Conversion solely for practicing polygamy has been deemed invalid in earlier court rulings.
Recent interpretations highlight the constitutional right to choose and express faith, emphasizing proportionate state interference.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Report on Currency and Finance

The RBI’s 2023-24 report focuses on India's digital transformation, reiterating the need for deep digital infrastructure while ensuring that reserved seats for SCs, STs, and OBCs do not exceed 50% in local bodies.

Assassination of Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh

Ismail Haniyeh, a key Hamas leader, was assassinated in Tehran, attributed to an Israeli strike, amid rising tensions in the region.
He had significant political influence, serving as the Prime Minister of the State of Palestine after Hamas's victory in 2006 elections.
Haniyeh's tenure saw conflicts between Hamas and Fatah, leading to his leadership in Gaza independent of the Palestine Authority.

Escalating Iran-Israel Tensions

Relations between Iran and Israel soured following a series of conflicts, starting with the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
Iran retaliated with proxy attacks while Israel targeted Iranian assets, escalating military engagements across Syria and Lebanon.
Historical relations deteriorated with Iran's Islamist shift in 1979, marking the beginning of an adversarial dynamic.

Historical Context of Iran-Israel Relations

Israel was recognized by Iran in 1948; however, relations frayed during the 1960s amid calls for an Islamic state.
Ayatollah Khomeini's rise to power and the 1979 Islamic Revolution marked a significant shift, leading to the establishment of an Islamic State in Iran and implementing Sharia Law.
