“Alexander Dugin’s influence on Russian foreign policy is an object of speculation mostly on the level of gossip In the West he is often times dubbed new Rasputin probably because mainstream opinion maker’s intelligence doesn’t seem to reach further of pattern recognition clue: the beard While it’s hard to believe that esteemed professor sees himself as “Russia’s greatest love machine” it is impossible to overlook that some of the moves Russian foreign policy makes are fairly concordant to his opinions and affirm much of what he is saying Diplomatic victory over the West during the first phase of Syria crisis cannot be denied and it is hard to escape the fact that Reagan’s term “Evil empire” is coming dangerously close to denote the USA itself However there is a great danger in idealizing the Eurasian project spearheaded by Russian Federation Uncritical glorification of the rising might of Russia although understandable shouldn’t lead to forgetting the famous saying about “enigma wrapped in secret” In other words Westerner must never forget that he doesn’t know and – as is implied in Dugin’s logic – maybe even cannot know what goes on behind Putin’s stone face Further it is questionable how really can one reconcile militant Evolian mysticism with ascetic wisdom of Guenon which Dugin apparently tries to do It is a pity that West is more or less ignorant of Guenon’s consequent spiritual descendant Hungarian Bela Hamvas man far more experienced in enduring than exercising the violent force but who nevertheless almost single handed kept the flame of Tradition alive for all Eastern Europe What he and Guenon were able to do is to point the finger and say: this is Corruption Nothing more nothing less And that in itself made them revolutionaries Resistance of the sort Alexander Dugin advocates could prove no less immoral than the aggression of the West and in fact can hardly be reconciled with the religious attitude of Traditionalism |

The Consumer Protection Act of 1986 was enacted to provide protection of the interests of consumers and for the purpose of establishment of consumer councils and other authorities for the settlement of consumer disputes and for matter connected therewith The said Act was amended three times to make the act more effective but even then there were a few lacunas and nuances that were not incorporated Several shortcomings have been noticed while administering the various provisions of the said Act The new Consumer Protection Bill 2015 that has been introduced in the monsoon session of parliament seeks to replace the old act The primary motivation to replace the older law with a new one is to modernise the law with respect to the development of new markets and to further widen the ambit and a scope of the law to incorporate nuances so that the big companies cannot use them as loop holes to exploit the consumers and to further increase the accountability of the said companies

the regarded currency Since central bank money currently exists mainly in the form of electronic records electronic money rather than in the form of paper or coins physical money open market operations can be conducted by simply increasing or decreasing crediting or debiting the amount of electronic money that a bank has in its reserve account at the central bank Open market operationsAn open market operation OMO is an activity by a central bank to give or take liquidity in its currency to or from a bank or a group of banks The central bank can either buy or sell government bonds in the open market this is where the name was historically derived from or in what is now mostly the preferred solution enter into a repo or secured lending transaction with a commercial bank: the central bank gives the money as a deposit for a defined period and synchronously takes an eligible asset as collateral A central bank uses OMO as the primary means of implementing monetary policy The usual aim of open market operations is – aside from supplying commercial banks with liquidity and sometimes taking surplus liquidity from commercial banks – to manipulate the short-term interest rate and the supply of base money in an economy and thus indirectly control the total money supply in effect expanding money or contracting the money supply This involves meeting the demand of base money at the target interest rate by buying and selling government securities or other financial instruments Monetary targets such as inflation interest rates or exchange rates are used to guide this implementationClassical economic theory postulates a distinctive relationship between the supply of central bank money and short-term interest rates: like for a commodity a higher demand for central bank money would increase its price the interest rate When there is an increased demand for base money the central bank must act if it wishes to maintain the short-term interest rate It does this by increasing the supply of base money: it goes to the open market to buy a financial asset such as government bonds • Under a currency board open market operations would be used to achieve and maintain a fixed exchange rate with relation to some foreign currency• Under a gold standard notes would be convertible to gold and so open market operations could be used to keep the value of a fiat currency constant relative to goldThe two traditional type of OMO’s used by RBI:1 Outright purchase PEMO: Is outright buying or selling of government securities Permanent2 Repurchase agreement REPO: Is short term and are subject to repurchaseThe RBI brought together a Liquidity Adjustment Facility LAF It commenced in June 2000 and it was set up to oversee liquidity on a daily basis and to monitor market interest rates For the LAF two rates are set by the RBI: repo rate and reverse repo rate The repo rate is applicable while selling securities to RBI daily injection of liquidity while the reverse repo rate is applicable when banks buy back those securities daily absorption of liquidity Also these interest rates fixed by the RBI also help in determining other market interest rates on the recommendations of the Working Group of RBI on instruments of Sterilization December 2003 a new scheme known as the Market stabilization scheme MSS was set up The LAF and the OMO’s were dealing with day-to-day liquidity management whereas the MSS was set up to sterilize the liquidity absorption and make it more enduringAccording to this scheme the RBI issues additional T-bills and securities to absorb the liquidity And the money goes into the Market Stabilization scheme Account MSSA The RBI cannot use this account for paying any interest or discounts and cannot credit any premiums to this account The Government in collaboration with the RBI fixes a ceiling amount on the issue of these instrumentsFRAMED FROM WIKIPEDIAQ277 Which among the following species is/ are not the extinct species

Ishta linga in their left handSelect the correct answer using the codes given below :A Only 1B 2 amp 3C Only 2D 1 amp 3Ans BLingayatism is a distinct Shaivite religious tradition in India Its worship is centered on Hindu god Shiva as the universal god in the iconographic form of Ishtalinga The adherents of this faith are known as Lingayats Lingayatism was founded by the 12th-century philosopher and statesman Basava and spread by his followers called Sharanas1 Lingayatism emphasizes qualified monism and bhakti loving devotion to Shiva with philosophical foundations similar to those of the 11th–12th-century South Indian philosopher RamanujaThe terms Lingayatism and Veerashaivism have been used synonymously and Lingayats also referred to as is considered a Hindu sect25 but some Lingayats have sought legal recognition as a religion distinct from Hinduism26Lingayatism shares beliefs with Indian religions such as about reincarnation samsara and karmaContemporary Lingayatism is influential in South India especially in the state of Karnataka10 Today Lingayats along with Shaiva Siddhanta followers Tirunelveli Saiva Pillai Nadar Naths Pashupaths of Nepal Kapalikas and others constitute the Shaiva populationThe Lingayat iṣṭaliṅga is an oval-shaped emblem symbolising Parashiva the absolute reality and is worn on the body by a cord hung around the neckBasava is credited with founding Lingayatism and its secular practices2 He was a 12th-century Hindu philosopher statesman Kannada poet in the Shiva-focussed Bhakti movement and a social reformer during the reign of the Kalachuri-dynasty king Bijjala I in Karnataka IndiaBasavanna spread social awareness through his poetry popularly known as Vachanaas Basavanna rejected gender or social discrimination as well as some extant practices such as the wearing of sacred thread19 and replaced this with the ritual of wearing Ishtalinga necklace with an image of the Shiva LiṅgaLingayat scholars thrived in northern Karnataka during the centuries of rule by Vijayanagara Empire22 The Lingayats likely were a part of the reason why Vijayanagara succeeded in territorial expansion and in withstanding the Deccan Sultanate wars The Lingayat text Sunya sampadane grew out of the scholarly discussions in a Anubhava Mantap and according to Bill Aitken these were compiled at the Vijayanagara court during the reign of Praudha Deva RayaSimilarly the scripture of Lingayatism Basava Purana was completed in 1369 during the reign of Vijayanagara ruler Bukka Raya ILingayat Veerashaiva thinkers rejected the custodial hold of Brahmins over the Vedas and the shastras but they did not outright reject the Vedic knowledge2930 The 13th-century Telugu Virashaiva poet Palkuriki Somanatha author of Basava Purana – a scripture of Veerashaivas for example asserted Virashaivism fully conformed to the Vedas and the shastrasLingayatism teaches a path to an individual’s spiritual progress is viewed and describes it as a six-stage Satsthalasiddhanta This concept progressively evolves the individual starting with the phase of a devoteeShunya in a series of Kannada language texts is equated with the Virashaiva concept of the Supreme In particular the Shunya Sampadane texts present the ideas of Allama Prabhuin a form of dialogue where shunya is that void and distinctions which a spiritual journey seeks to fill and eliminate It is the described as state of union of one’s soul with the infinite Shiva the state of blissful moksha3This Lingayat concept is similar to shunya Brahma concept found in certain texts of Vaishnavism particularly in Odiya such as the poetic Panchasakhas It explains the Nirguna Brahman idea of Vedanta that is the eternal unchanging metaphysical reality as personified void However both in Lingayatism and various flavors of Vaishnavism such as Mahima Dharma the idea of Shunya is closer to the Hindu concept of metaphysical Brahman rather than to the Śūnyatā concept of Buddhism35 However there is some overlap such as in the works of Bhima BhoiThe Lingayats always wear the Ishtalinga held with a necklace2 The Istalinga is made up of light gray slate stone coated with fine durable thick black paste of cow dung ashes mixed with some suitable oil to withstand wear and tear Sometime it is made up of ashes mixed with clarified butter The coating is called Kanti coveringThe
