So, a geopolitical presence in the region will mean a race for becoming a superpower. This recognition is not a new phenomenon but exists from time immemorial. Mackinder’s Heartland Theory provides that the Indian Ocean has been a zone of conflict since the end of the Second World War. The conflict was always between the superpower countries of the time.

In 2019, Indian start-ups had raised over $11 billion. This was 55% higher than in 2018 in value and 30% higher in deal volume.

CoVID-19 Impact on INDIAN Economy (Sector-wise) & How INDIA Can be Benefited      The entire world is in the clutch of Coronavirus.

One in three of the world’s child brides live in India. Of the country’s 223 million child brides, 102 million were married before turning 15.      India has seen massive development across various sectors over the past few years, however, some social evils continue to come in the way of holistic development of the country. While the legal age for marriage is 18 for women (and 21 for men), as per the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act (PCMA) of 2006, the law is often violated in the rural society and backward areas of the country. The PCMA specifies punishments for those who encourage child marriages and Child Marriage Prohibition Officers work to address this crime.  However, India needs the support of the society in order to bring a societal change and change the lives of the minor girls hailing from backward areas of the country. The practise of child marriage is less common today than in previous generations but there is evidence of accelerating progress over the last decade.
