Editorial Analysis 22 April 2026"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2><strong>India Must Draw a Red Line on U.S. Unilateral Sanctions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The ongoing geopolitical turmoil stemming from the United States\u2013Israel war against Iran has triggered <strong>wide-ranging economic consequences. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>India faces mounting pressure from rising energy prices, disrupted trade routes, and <strong>escalating geopolitical tensions. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The crisis has intensified existing vulnerabilities, especially as external economic shocks combine with policy constraints imposed by <strong>unilateral sanctions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Economic Fallout and Strategic Vulnerability<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India\u2019s economic stability has been significantly affected by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil supply.<\/li>\n<li>Increased shipping costs, higher insurance premiums, and rising fuel prices have contributed to <strong>inflation<\/strong>, <strong>energy insecurity<\/strong>, and <strong>supply chain disruptions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Exports have declined, and the depreciation of the rupee has weakened India\u2019s global economic standing, as reflected in projections by the International Monetary Fund.<\/li>\n<li>These developments reveal deep <strong>economic vulnerability<\/strong> tied to dependence on imported resources.<\/li>\n<li>The compounded impact of conflict and trade restrictions underscores the urgency of strengthening <strong>economic resilience<\/strong> and reducing exposure to external shocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Burden of Sanctions Compliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India\u2019s alignment with U.S. sanctions has constrained its ability to diversify energy imports and maintain economic flexibility.<\/li>\n<li>Restrictions on oil purchases from Iran and Venezuela, particularly under Donald Trump and Barack Obama, have increased reliance on limited suppliers.<\/li>\n<li>The fluctuating nature of sanctions, marked by <strong>waivers<\/strong>, <strong>extensions<\/strong>, and <strong>policy reversals<\/strong>, has created persistent <strong>uncertainty<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The Office of Foreign Assets Control oversees a vast sanctions regime, making the United States the dominant global sanctioning authority.<\/li>\n<li>This pattern of <strong>unilateral sanctions<\/strong> reflects growing <strong>economic coercion<\/strong>, complicating long-term planning and undermining stable trade relationships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Costs of Compliance vs. Benefits of Defiance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India has foregone access to <strong>discounted crude oil<\/strong> from Iran and Venezuela, limiting its ability to build <strong>strategic reserves<\/strong> and manage costs.<\/li>\n<li>In contrast, selective resistance, such as the acquisition of defence systems under the Countering America\u2019s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, has strengthened national security without triggering penalties.<\/li>\n<li>Delays in developing infrastructure projects like the Chabahar Port and the International North South Transport Corridor have increased dependence on vulnerable maritime routes.<\/li>\n<li>Greater investment in <strong>connectivity<\/strong>, <strong>logistics infrastructure<\/strong>, and <strong>trade corridors<\/strong> could have reduced exposure to disruptions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Strategic Autonomy and Global Leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Adherence to external sanctions challenges India\u2019s commitment to <strong>strategic autonomy<\/strong>, a core principle of its foreign policy.<\/li>\n<li>Continued compliance risks weakening sovereignty and reinforcing dependence on Western economic systems.<\/li>\n<li>It also diminishes the role of multilateralism, as unilateral actions overshadow institutions like the United Nations.<\/li>\n<li>A shift toward independent decision-making could enhance India\u2019s position within the <strong>Global South<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Developing alternative financial frameworks, including BRICS cooperation, <strong>non-dollar trade<\/strong>, and independent payment systems, would strengthen economic independence.<\/li>\n<li>Expanding <strong>renewable energy<\/strong>, <strong>energy diversification<\/strong>, and domestic capabilities would further reduce reliance on external actors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Historical Lessons and Future Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Historical experience offers a clear precedent. During the 1960s, policies under Lyndon B.<\/li>\n<li>Johnson leveraged food aid to influence India\u2019s decisions, creating a ship-to-mouth existence.<\/li>\n<li>In response, Indira Gandhi accelerated reforms that led to the Green Revolution, achieving <strong>agricultural self-sufficiency<\/strong> and long-term stability.<\/li>\n<li>This episode demonstrates how external pressure can catalyse transformative change.<\/li>\n<li>Today, a similar approach focused on energy independence, policy assertiveness, and <strong>domestic capacity building<\/strong> could strengthen India\u2019s position.<\/li>\n<li>Establishing <strong>alternative trade mechanisms<\/strong>, insulating financial systems from external control, and pursuing self-reliance are critical steps forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The current crisis presents a decisive moment. Continued alignment with unilateral sanctions risks prolonged economic strain and diminished policy freedom.<\/li>\n<li>A recalibrated approach centred on <strong>national interest<\/strong>, <strong>economic sovereignty<\/strong>, and <strong>strategic independence<\/strong> offers a pathway to resilience.<\/li>\n<li>By reducing dependence, investing in domestic strengths, and asserting its role globally, India can navigate present challenges while shaping a more balanced international order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>India Must Draw a Red Line on U.S. Unilateral Sanctions\u00a0FAQs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Q1.<\/strong> How has the United States\u2013Israel war against Iran affected India\u2019s economy?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The conflict has increased energy prices, disrupted supply chains, and contributed to inflation and export decline in India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2.<\/strong> Why is the Strait of Hormuz important for India?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Strait of Hormuz is crucial because it is a major route for oil imports, and disruptions there raise costs and threaten energy security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3.<\/strong> What role does the Office of Foreign Assets Control play in global sanctions?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Office of Foreign Assets Control administers and enforces U.S. sanctions, influencing international trade and economic policies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4.<\/strong> How did India respond to the Countering America\u2019s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans. <\/strong>India proceeded with its defence purchases despite the law and did not face penalties, strengthening its security capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5.<\/strong> What lesson did India learn from policies under Lyndon B. Johnson?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> India learned the importance of self-reliance, which led to reforms that achieved agricultural self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/opinion\/lead\/india-must-draw-a-red-line-on-us-unilateral-sanctions\/article70889782.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Hindu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>India\u2019s LPG Crisis is the Wake-Up Call It Cannot Ignore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The gas crisis of 2026, marked by LPG shortages, volatile LNG prices, and rising import bills, reflects a deeper structural weakness.<\/li>\n<li>For a country aiming at sustained economic growth and global manufacturing leadership, <strong>energy insecurity<\/strong> is a major <strong>strategic risk<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The urgency now lies in rapidly transitioning toward <strong>self-reliance<\/strong> and reducing dependence on external energy sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>A Growing and Unsustainable Energy Gap<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India\u2019s energy demand continues to rise sharply, while domestic supply lags behind.<\/li>\n<li>With <strong>crude oil import dependence<\/strong> at 88.6% and <strong>domestic production<\/strong> meeting only half the gas requirement, reliance on LNG imports is increasing. Energy demand is projected to triple by 2047, widening the gap further.<\/li>\n<li>This imbalance exposes the economy to global price shocks, geopolitical disruptions, and currency volatility, which fuel inflation and strain public finances.<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure limitations worsen the issue. Despite high <strong>regasification capacity<\/strong>, utilisation remains low due to <strong>pipeline constraints<\/strong> and <strong>demand mismatches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, <strong>LPG supply chains<\/strong> depend heavily on imports from West Asia, making them fragile.<\/li>\n<li>Recent shortages in major cities, accompanied by extreme price spikes, demonstrate the system\u2019s vulnerability.<\/li>\n<li>While short-term government interventions offer relief, they fail to address the root problem of <strong>import dependence<\/strong> and systemic inefficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Compressed Biogas: A Strategic Opportunity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Compressed Biogas (CBG) presents a powerful solution that integrates <strong>energy security<\/strong>, <strong>environmental sustainability<\/strong>, and rural development.<\/li>\n<li>India has an estimated potential of 62 MMT annually from <strong>agricultural residues<\/strong>, <strong>animal waste<\/strong>, and <strong>municipal waste<\/strong>, yet current production remains minimal.<\/li>\n<li>This gap reflects an execution failure, not a resource shortage. Government initiatives like SATAT and GOBAR-DHAN provide policy support, financial incentives, and assured offtake.<\/li>\n<li>However, progress is hindered by fragmented feedstock supply, delayed financing, complex regulatory approvals, and an underdeveloped digestate market.<\/li>\n<li>Without a strong operational ecosystem, scaling CBG remains difficult despite clear policy intent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Steps to Unlock the Full Potential of CBG<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Feedstock Security Framework<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Reliable biomass supply must be ensured through <strong>state-wise mapping<\/strong>, efficient <strong>aggregation models<\/strong>, and long-term contracts.<\/li>\n<li>Aligning feedstock types with appropriate technologies will enhance efficiency and project viability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simplified Regulatory and Financial Systems <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>A single-window clearance mechanism can reduce delays significantly.<\/li>\n<li>Financial innovation through viability gap funding, green bonds, and carbon credits can improve project economics and attract private investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Promotion of Energy Crops<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>India should promote energy crops such as <strong>Napier grass<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Allocating a small share of <strong>agricultural land<\/strong> can create a stable biomass base without affecting food security.<\/li>\n<li>This approach supports diversification and strengthens supply reliability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Toward Meaningful Energy Reform<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>With timely action, India can scale CBG production to 20 MMT by 2030. The benefits extend beyond energy.<\/li>\n<li>A strong CBG ecosystem can reduce stubble burning, improve air quality, generate <strong>rural employment<\/strong>, and increase <strong>farmer incomes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>It also supports a <strong>circular economy<\/strong> by converting waste into valuable energy.<\/li>\n<li>Incremental changes are insufficient and a <strong>structural shift<\/strong> in energy production and consumption is necessary.<\/li>\n<li>The success of the ethanol blending programme proves that transformation is possible with clear policy direction and effective implementation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The choice lies between continued reliance on volatile global markets and building a resilient domestic energy system.<\/li>\n<li>CBG offers a practical pathway toward energy transition and long-term stability.<\/li>\n<li>The path forward is clear; <strong>what remains is decisive and timely action.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>India\u2019s LPG Crisis is the Wake-Up Call It Cannot Ignore FAQs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Q1.<\/strong> What is the main concern highlighted by India\u2019s 2026 gas crisis?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> The main concern is India\u2019s growing energy insecurity due to heavy dependence on imported fuels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2.<\/strong> Why is India\u2019s energy gap considered unsustainable?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> It is unsustainable because energy demand is rising rapidly while domestic production remains insufficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3.<\/strong> What makes Compressed Biogas (CBG) a viable solution?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> CBG is viable because it enhances energy security, supports environmental sustainability, and promotes rural development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4.<\/strong> What is a key challenge in scaling up CBG production?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> A key challenge is the lack of a reliable and well-organised feedstock supply system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5.<\/strong> What kind of reform does India need in its energy sector?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong> India needs a structural shift toward domestic, sustainable, and self-reliant energy production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <a

Hindu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Tadoba Model of Human-Wildlife Coexistence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India is home to the world&#8217;s largest wild tiger population, spread across 58 tiger reserves in over 25 states.<\/li>\n<li>With growing middle-class aspirations, wildlife tourism has surged into a multi-crore industry.<\/li>\n<li>Yet, the central challenge of Indian conservation remains unresolved: how do we protect apex predators while safeguarding the livelihoods and lives of forest-edge communities?<\/li>\n<li>The Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (<strong>TATR<\/strong>) in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra \u2014 home to approximately 100 tigers \u2014 offers a nuanced, instructive case study in this balancing act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>India\u2019s Tiger Conservation Success Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India hosts the largest number of wild tigers (70% of the world&#8217;s, with the population of about 3700) in the world.<\/li>\n<li>Growing tiger numbers indicate successful conservation under initiatives such as:\n<ul>\n<li>Project Tiger (<strong>1973<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<li>National Tiger Conservation Authority (<strong>NTCA<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<li>Expansion of protected areas and tiger reserves<\/li>\n<li>Anti-poaching measures<\/li>\n<li>Habitat restoration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tiger sightings have also made wildlife tourism an important economic activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Ground Reality in TATR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>TATR attracts <strong>enormous tourist footfall<\/strong> \u2014 1,17,000 visitors in the core zone and 2,63,000 in the buffer zone in a single year \u2014 reflecting wildlife tourism&#8217;s explosive growth.<\/li>\n<li>Yet the same landscape records approximately 10 tiger-related <strong>human deaths <\/strong>annually within TATR, and around 45 deaths in Chandrapur district as a whole, alongside significant <strong>cattle losses<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>This coexistence of thriving tourism and lethal conflict makes TATR a uniquely revealing case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Key Conservation Concepts in TATR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Core vs. buffer zone<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>The core zone (625 sq. km.) has been cleared of human settlements through voluntary village relocation, resulting in zero recorded conflict deaths within it.<\/li>\n<li>The buffer zone (over 1,000 sq. km.) contains 95 villages and a population of 1.25 lakh, making human-wildlife interface inevitable as tiger numbers grow and territories expand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tiger dispersal problem<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>As conservation succeeds and tiger populations rise, animals naturally disperse beyond protected boundaries into human-dominated landscapes \u2014 a direct driver of conflict that no reserve boundary can fully contain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Management Model in TATR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Financial decentralisation and community stake:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>At least half of local households receive <strong>direct employment<\/strong> from the Forest Department, 400 locals serve as safari guides alone.<\/li>\n<li>Annual safari ticket <strong>revenues <\/strong>of \u20b940 crore are significantly <strong>redistributed <\/strong>toward conflict mitigation, livelihood support, and awareness programmes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Livelihood diversification:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Support for value-added forest produce \u2014 <strong>honey<\/strong>, <strong>amla <\/strong>\u2014 gives communities economic alternatives.<\/li>\n<li>A zero-waste management programme employs local women.<\/li>\n<li>An in-house water bottling plant creates employment and eliminates single-use plastics for tourists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swift and credible compensation: <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Quick disbursement of compensation for both human and cattle deaths builds trust \u2014 a critical but often neglected administrative practice in conflict zones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diversified tourism: <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>TATR plans to develop <strong>agrotourism<\/strong>, stargazing, cycling, boating, Ayurvedic spas, and butterfly parks \u2014 reducing over-dependence on tiger sightings and distributing tourism benefits more broadly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety and education:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Structured safety protocol training for communities.<\/li>\n<li>School trips to build ecological literacy among children.<\/li>\n<li>Online regulated booking across 22 gates, calibrated to the forest&#8217;s carrying capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Contrast &#8211; Nagarahole&#8217;s Warning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Nagarahole Tiger Reserve in <strong>Karnataka <\/strong>offers a cautionary parallel.<\/li>\n<li>Local farmers, frustrated by unresolved human-wildlife conflict, shut down all tourism for six months during peak season.<\/li>\n<li>The closure failed to resolve the conflict but caused severe losses to the local tourism economy and public exchequer \u2014 particularly significant since parks like Kabini operate as government monopolies.<\/li>\n<li>A negotiated multi-stakeholder compromise is now being worked out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The lesson<\/strong> is clear: without genuine community ownership, even world-class biodiversity assets become ungovernable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Artificial water holes<\/strong>: Increase prey density unnaturally, inflating predator populations and intensifying human-wildlife conflict.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minor forest produce access<\/strong>: Relocated villagers lose traditional access to resources like mahua, creating resentment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cultural and spiritual displacement<\/strong>: Forest-edge communities carry centuries of ecological knowledge and cultural ties; these cannot be dismissed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scaling the model<\/strong>: What works in TATR requires institutional will, consistent leadership, and financial devolution \u2014 rare across India&#8217;s 58 reserves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Way Forward<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Institutionalise<\/strong>: The TATR model across underperforming reserves through NTCA-mandated financial decentralisation and local employment quotas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revisit<\/strong>: Artificial water hole policies with scientific review to prevent ecological imbalance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strengthen<\/strong>: The Forest Rights Act implementation so conservation does not come at the cost of tribals and forest-dwelling communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invest<\/strong>: In conflict-mitigation infrastructure \u2014 early warning systems, predator-proof livestock enclosures, and rapid compensation mechanisms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop<\/strong>: Tourism beyond the flagship species to build economic resilience and reduce pressure on core habitats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train and professionalise<\/strong>: Local guides and naturalists as a long-term livelihood pathway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>India&#8217;s tiger conservation story is, at its best, a story of <strong>negotiated coexistence<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TATR <\/strong>demonstrates that when communities are made genuine partners rather than passive bystanders, conflict can be managed, poaching can be controlled, and biodiversity can flourish.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, India must accept and intelligently manage the risks of sharing landscapes with tigers in exchange for the ecosystem <strong>services <\/strong>and natural <strong>heritage <\/strong>they anchor.<\/li>\n<li>The goal is not zero conflict, but maximum natural capital with minimum loss of life \u2014 a standard that demands both ecological wisdom and administrative integrity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Human-Wildlife Coexistence FAQs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Q1<\/strong>. Why is it said that Tiger conservation in India cannot succeed without community participation?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Tadoba model shows that stakeholder inclusion makes communities active partners in conservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2<\/strong>. How increasing tiger population in India has created new governance challenges?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Increased habitat dispersal, human-wildlife conflict, and livestock loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3<\/strong>. How can eco-tourism become a tool of conservation rather than exploitation?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Regulated eco-tourism with carrying capacity norms, local jobs, revenue redistribution, can support both livelihoods and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4<\/strong>. What are the solutions to minimise human-wildlife conflict in India?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Solutions include timely compensation, early warning systems, habitat corridors, community-based conservation incentives, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5<\/strong>. Why must India aim for maximum natural capital regeneration with minimum loss of life?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans<\/strong>. Sustainable conservation requires balancing ecological protection with human safety, livelihoods, and inclusive governance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/opinion\/columns\/the-tadoba-andhari-model-balancing-rising-tiger-populations-with-human-costs-10649017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>IE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Editorial Analysis 22 April 2026 by Vajiram &#038; Ravi covers key editorials from The Hindu &#038; Indian Express with UPSC-focused insights and relevance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":86373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[141,882,909],"class_list":{"0":"post-99592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-daily-editorial-analysis","8":"tag-daily-editorial-analysis","9":"tag-the-hindu-editorial-analysis","10":"tag-the-indian-express-analysis","11":"no-featured-image-padding"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99592"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99599,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99592\/revisions\/99599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
