Shaktimatha 369 Learning
Q36. “Money laundering poses a serious threat to India’s internal security.” Examine.
Money laundering enables terror financing, organised crime, and corruption. Illicit financial flows undermine economic stability and national security.
India faces challenges due to hawala networks, shell companies, and misuse of digital platforms. Globalisation and cross-border transactions add complexity.
Strengthening financial intelligence, international cooperation, and strict enforcement of laws is essential to combat money laundering.
Q37. “Role of security agencies is crucial in safeguarding India’s internal security.” Discuss.
Security agencies such as intelligence organisations, paramilitary forces, and state police form the backbone of internal security. They prevent threats, maintain law and order, and protect critical infrastructure.
Challenges include coordination gaps, capacity constraints, and technological adaptation. Human rights compliance is also essential to maintain public trust.
Modernisation, inter-agency coordination, and training can enhance effectiveness of security agencies.
Q38. “Coastal security is an integral part of India’s internal security framework.” Analyse.
India has a long coastline and extensive maritime activity, making coastal security vital. Threats include smuggling, illegal fishing, and maritime terrorism.
Post-26/11 reforms strengthened coastal surveillance, marine policing, and coordination among agencies. However, infrastructure gaps and manpower shortages persist.
Integrated coastal security is essential for safeguarding maritime interests and internal security.
Q39. “Social media has emerged as a new challenge for internal security.” Discuss.
Social media platforms can be misused for radicalisation, fake news, and incitement to violence. Rapid spread of misinformation can disturb public order.
Balancing regulation with freedom of expression is a major challenge. Technological solutions and digital literacy are increasingly important.
A multi-pronged approach involving regulation, awareness, and timely response is required to address social media threats.
Q40. “Capacity building of police forces is essential for effective internal security.” Examine.
Police forces are the first line of defence in internal security. However, shortage of personnel, outdated equipment, and training gaps limit effectiveness.
Capacity building through modern technology, forensic support, and skill training improves response capability. Community policing also enhances trust.
Strengthening police capacity is essential for maintaining law, order, and internal security.
