Today’s Topic – Tulare Lake: The Vanished Lake Returns

Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, has reappeared in California's San Joaquin Valley. After decades of disappearance due to irrigation projects, the lake has made a dramatic return, triggered by a series of intense atmospheric river events and heavy snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.

This revival is not just an environmental occurrence but also holds deep cultural significance for the Tachi Yokut tribe, reconnecting them with their ancestral lands and traditions.

Cut the Crap

Today's Topic – Universalizing India's Growth Gains

PDF Download Link – go.forumias.com/cutthecrap164

This edition of Cut the Crap decodes the contradiction in India’s economic progress. While India is now the 4th largest economy globally, the benefits of growth remain unevenly distributed. The Mint article analyzed here points to a serious concern: persistent income and savings inequality across socio-economic classes. The accompanying Statista data reveals how India, despite rapid economic expansion, is struggling with widening wealth disparities—posing critical developmental challenges.

Aspiring bureaucrats must internalize this duality to frame balanced answers for GS-3, especially in areas like inclusive growth, inequality, and development economics.

Today's Topic – Indravati National Park, Chhattisgarh

This edition of Places in News covers Indravati National Park, a critical wildlife zone in Bijapur district, Chhattisgarh, currently in the spotlight due to ongoing anti-Naxal operations. Security forces have recovered the bodies of five Maoist cadres during the crackdown. Apart from its security relevance, Indravati is known for its rich biodiversity and is home to wild buffaloes, a Schedule I species under the Wildlife Protection Act.

Knolls of the Day

Today's Topic – Asafoetida (Heeng) Cultivation in India

This edition of Knolls of the Day focuses on India's recent strides in the cultivation of Asafoetida (Heeng)—a spice long relied upon but historically imported. India has now initiated its own cultivation efforts, especially in the cold desert regions of Himachal Pradesh, under the aegis of the Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT). Given India’s 100% dependency on imports till recently, this marks a major step towards self-reliance in spice production, supports local farmers, and aligns with the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.

Today's Topic – High Seas Treaty & BBNJ Agreement

PDF Download Link – go.forumias.com/cuthecrap163


This edition of Cut the Crap focuses on the recent momentum behind the High Seas Treaty, officially known as the Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) agreement. During the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France (2025), nearly 20 more countries ratified the treaty, marking a major step toward protecting international waters, which cover over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface but remain largely unregulated and under-protected.
