Скачать или смотреть UPSC Mains IR: Trump Tariffs, Nepal Crisis, Geopolitics & India's Options

#UPSC #Geopolitics #PSIR

Geopolitics meets exam prep. In this InsightsIAS podcast, Nikhil Gowda (Polity & PSIR) and Tejas (PSIR) decode how U.S. tariff moves and the Nepal political crisis reshape the global order, trade, tech, and security—and what it means for India’s foreign policy. Perfect for UPSC Mains 2025–26 (GS-2: International Relations; GS-3: Economy/Trade) and PSIR Optional with ready-to-use examples, frameworks (realism vs liberalism, strategic hedging), and answer-writing angles (deglobalisation, illiberal democracy, trade war 2.0).
Use this as Current Affairs + PSIR value-addition: tariffs and their impact on Tiruppur/Surat textiles, “reciprocal tariffs,” China’s tech/rare-earths leverage, and how neighbourhood churn (Nepal, South Asia) tests India’s options. Watch, take notes, and post your GS-2 thesis in comments.
