here is no organization or body
in international forum that acts
like police to enforce rule based
order and bring the rogue states
to behave. The United Nations is
more of a Panchayat with no
authority and no apparatus to
enforce civilized behavior
amongst the member states. Se-
curity Council comes very close
to policing role in UN but it has
also been hijacked by the mighty
five having veto powers. The dif-
ference of opinion or vested na-
tional interests often forces
powerful countries to use the
veto to defang the UNSC.
After the World War II, all
nation states felt the pain of
war devastation and professed
to start an organization for in-
ternational order. This is how
UN was born but it was no bet-
ter than ‘League of Nations’.
USA emerged as the most pow-
erful nation in the world,
after the World War II and
assumed for itself the role
of so called ‘Global Police’.
If the United States want-
ed to use military power,
against a nation state,
then it might legitimize its ac-
tions with tacit approval of the
United Nations.
USA - SELF PROCLAIMED
WORLD POLICE
The European Colonial powers
declined with the World War II
and the Queen was too willing to
accede the position of super cop
to the USA. As the sole super-
power, in 1940s, the United States
assumed the role of world’s po-
liceman, conveniently citing a
moral responsibility to uphold
freedom and democracy around
the world. The United States felt
that without US primacy and
policing the world, this planet
will descendinto a ‘dog-eat-dog’/
‘might-is-right’ environment.
After World War II, the United
States found itself committed to
a global agenda of liberty and
human rights. It also assumed
the role of checking crimes sans
borders like terrorism and sup-
port the smaller sovereign coun-
tries against the hegemony of
powerfulneighboursandregion-
al bullies. The global domi-
nance of USA got further
consolidated after the col-
lapse of Soviet Empire and
Warsaw Pact countries.
COST OF GLOBAL
POLICING
America dons the mantle
of world’s policeman be-
cause there is nobody to
protect the peaceful countries
from the ruthlessness of reli-
gious radicalism and inter-
national gangs of terror-
ists. We need someone
strong to check nuclear pro-
liferation or threats from
biological or chemi-
cal warfare. There is also need to
protect the planet earth, con-
serve energy resources and pro-
tect the environment from
pollution. With globaliza-
tion, international supply
chains have increased mani-
fold and they need to be se-
cured. Only the US has the ca-
pability and American troops
are stationed across the
globe to enforce rule
based order. Today,
the Pentagon con-
trols around 750 bases in
some 80 foreign countries
and territories. Military
action goes on against ter-
rorism in 76 countries, or
40% of the world.
Global policing comes at
a steep price and only a
rich country like USA can
afford it. Research estimates
state that world policeman du-
ties cost America about $5.6 tril-
lion, however the Pentagon
downplays it to $1.5 trillion, per
year. These estimates predict
that by 2050, cost of world polic-
ing duties may increase to more
than $8 Trillion. No country ex-
cept USA can financially sus-
tain that effort.
MULTI POLAR WORLD
After the collapse of USSR, the
world almost became unipolar
with USA emerging as the most
powerful country. In 21st Cen-
tury
, the world order is changing
from unipolar to multipolar
where the supreme superpower
status of USA is being chal-
lenged. Smaller nation states
are challenging their authority
to become self-styled global po-
lice. USA has also been selective
in their interventions, as it
suites their national interests. It
would be better for United States
to “decline gracefully
.”
America’s record at keeping
global order is deeply flawed,
but no other country is prepared
and capable to take on that role.
In 21st Century, alliances of
various countries having com-
mon interest like G7, G20,
SAARC, BIMSTEC, SCO,
AUKUS and QUAD are coming
up. In the multipolar world, they
are capable of policing duties in
their region.
CONCLUSION
There is a realignment of power
in the 21st Century. Developing
countries other than USA are
also rising on the world geopo-
litical stage. A multipolar world
and a more equitable balance of
power must be the aim in 21st
Century. The rising awareness
amongst developing regional su-
perpower, is challenging the role
of USA as global policeman.
Their argument is that US is a
country and not a global govern-
ment. They do not buy the argu-
ment that USA is an impartial
umpire in world affairs. The re-
sponsibilities of restoring rule
based order in the region should,
best be assigned to regional alli-
ances, with UN Security Council
monitoring that globally

would wish that death embraces me.

Our feeling is that for sexu-

IOA has a committee and
athletes’ commission. Instead of go-
ing to the street (again), they should
have come to us, but they have not
at all come to IOA. Players should
have at least waited for the report.

Chittorgarh: Ra-

Joshi Thursday said the
people of the state have
made up their minds to
“delete” the Congress
and give the saffron par-
ty a chance in the As-
sembly polls slated to be
held later this year. He
alleged that the com-
mon people are being
harassed in the name of
the inflation relief
camps. But people are
now ready to give “re-
lief” to the Congress
govt, Joshi said.
Rajasthan CM Gehlot
launched his govt’s flag-
ship initiative ‘Me-
hangai Rahat’ camps
from Mahapura Gram
Panchayat here on Mon-
day
. These camps are be-
ing organised across the
state from April 24 to
June 30 so that the ben-
efits of various welfare
schemes of the state
government reach the
beneficiaries.
“The people have
made up their mind to
delete the Congress gov-
ernment and not repeat
it,” Joshi said at a pub-
lic meeting in Chittor-
garh on Thursday
.
Union Jal Shakti Min
GajendraSinghShekha-
wat termed the inflation
relief camps an “at-
tempt to attract cheap
publicity”. If the Con-
gress govt wants to give
relief to the people from
inflation, then it should
first give relief in petrol
and diesel, Shekhawat
said while claiming that
petrol and diesel are
costliest in Rajasthan.
In an apparent dig at
the Congress over the
tussle between CM Ge-
hlot and Sachin Pilot,
the Union minister said,
“For the last four years,
some were sleeping to
save their chair and
some were playing to
get on the chair. The de-
velopment of the state
lagged because of this
conflict.”

his party would take re-
venge on the “backstab-
bing perpetrated” by
Chief Minister Eknath
Shinde and his group 11
months ago.

“They have stabbed
us in the back. I will cer-
tainly pay them back.
Whatever ‘prasad’ we
give them, they will re-
member it for the rest
of their lives,” said
Thackeray
.
Accusing Shinde and
Deputy CM Devendra
Fadnavis of being ‘in-
sensitive’ to the issues
of labourers, Thacker-
ay said that they are
only bothered about the
industrialists and not
concerned for the work-
ers or the farmers.
Hitting back at the
ruling Shiv Sena minis-

the state secured invest-
ments worth Rs 2.5 lakh
crore, and its industrial
policies attracted 25 big
industries here.

KASHISH GOSWAMI, THE REIGNING MISS
TEEN GRAND INDIA 2023, RECENTLY
SHARED HER INSPIRING JOURNEY OF
MISS TEEN DIVA, IN AN EXCLUSIVE
INTERVIEW WITH CITY FIRST
t is rightly
said, “Real
models don’t
go with the
trend, they set
the trend.” As
the fashion in-
dustry evolves, new
faces emerge to bring
a fresh perspective
and energy to the run-
way. One such model
making waves is Kash-
ish Goswami, who was
recently crowned Miss
Teen Grand India 2023
at the Miss Teen Diva
contest which was
held recently
.
The diva is known
for her versatility, ef-
fortlessly transition-
ing from classic looks
to edgier, avant-garde
ensembles. Kashish
began her pageant
journey when she was
just three years old
and continued to par-
ticipate in various pag-
eants throughout her
life.
There’s no more
powerful lesson than
knowing that your set-
backs will one day help
you succeed, and she
proved it. When asked,
‘what motivated her to
be a part of this beauty
pageant, the diva re-
plied’, “Since I was a
little girl, I have always
dreamed of competing
in pageants like my sis-
ter, thus I grew up
watching pageants.
This motivated me to
compete in one of my
own, and what better
platform could there
be than Glamanad
Miss Teen Diva.”
While describing
her win, the crowned
queen said, “My dream
has always been to be
crowned Miss Teen
Diva, and after losing
that dream for the first
time, I realized that the
following year needed
to be a stronger come-
back and a victory for
me. I hope to be able to
handle the responsi-
bilities that the title
has brought with it so
that I can bring In-
dia pride and glory by
winning on an interna-
tional platform as well.
I am so happy and
proud that I am unable
to express it in words.
This title is everything
that I have ever want-
ed.”
When asked about
her role model, the
gorgeous lady said,
“My mother is my role
model because of the
way she manages her
career with her kids
and does it all with
such grace. She genu-
inely motivates me to
pursue my goals with
tenacity. I am also
grateful to Nikhil
Anand, my National
Director for support-
ing me in this jour-
ney.”

4 WAYS THAT
CAN HELP
STUDENTS
s artificial intelli-
gence systems play a
bigger role in every-
day life, they’re
changing the world of
education, too.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT,
Microsoft’s Bing and Google’s
Bard all come with both risks
and opportunities. I am a lit-
eracy educator and researcher,
andherearefourwaysIbelieve
these kinds of systems can be
used to help students learn.
DIFFERENTIATED
INSTRUCTION
Teachers are taught to identify
the learning goals of all stu-
dents in a class and adapt in-
struction to the specific needs
of individual students. But
with 20 or more students in a
classroom, fully customized
lessons aren’t always realistic.
Everyone learns differently
.
An AI system can observe
how a student proceeds
through an assigned task, how
much time they take and
whether they are successful. If
the student is struggling, the
system can offer help; if the
student is succeeding, the sys-
tem can present more difficult
tasks to keep the activity chal-
lenging.
This type of real-time feed-
back is often difficult for an
educator or school to do for a
single student, let alone
an entire class or
campus. AI
adaptive
learning
t o o l s
have been shown to quickly
and dynamically make chang-
es to the learning environ-
ment, content, and tasks to
help individuals learn more
and quickly improve.
For instance, researchers at
the Human-Computer Interac-
tion Institute at Carnegie Mel-
lon University taught a system
how to solve a math problem.
The system can follow instruc-
tions from a human supervisor
to understand mathematical
rules and adapt its approach to
problems it has never seen be-
fore. The system can also iden-
tify areas where it had to make
multiple attempts before arriv-
ing at the correct answer, flag
those for teachers as places hu-
man students may get con-
fused, and highlight methods
the system used to arrive at the
right answer.
INTELLIGENT TEXTBOOKS
Researchers at Stanford have
been developing and testing a
prototype of what’s called an
“intelligent textbook,” titled
“Inquire.” It is an iPad app
that monitors students’ focus
and attention while they read
by paying attention to how stu-
dents interact with the app.
The interactive text includes
definitions of keywords acces-
sible by touch or click and al-
lows students to highlight and
annotate while reading.
Thetextbookcanalsosuggest
questionsaboutthecontentand
areasforfutureinquirythatare
customized for each individual.
It can change the reading level
of the text and also include sup-
plemental photos, videos and
materials to help students un-
derstandwhatthey’restudying.
PERSONALIZED LEARNING
Personalized learning occurs
when the students’ interests
and goals guide learning. The
teacher is more of a facilitator,
while the what, why and how
of learning is mostly dictated
by the student. Artificial intel-
ligence systems can provide
individualized instruction tai-
lored to each student’s indi-
vidual interests.
AI adaptive learning sys-
tems can quickly identify
when a student is struggling
and then provide more or dif-
ferent support to help them
succeed. As the student shows
that they have mastered the
content or skill, the AI tool
provides more difficult tasks
and materials to further chal-
lenge the learner.
Chatbots have been used to
respond to typed or spoken
input. Many individuals in-
teract with a chatbot when
they ask Alexa or Siri a ques-
tion. In education, chatbots
with artificial intelligence
systems can guide students
with personalized, just-in-
time feedback or assistance.
These chatbots can answer
questions about course con-
tent or structure. This helps
students keep track of their
own learning while keeping
them motivated and engaged.
Much like an automated
playlist of musical or video
recommendations, an AI-pow-
ered recommender system can
generate tailored assessment
questions, detect misunder-
standings and suggest new
areas for a learner to explore.
These AI technologies have
the potential to help learners
today and in the future.

A
IMPROVED ASSESSMENT
The educational assess-
ment focuses on how an
educator knows whether
a student is learning what
isbeingtaught.Tradition-
al assessments – essays,
multiple-choice tests,
short-answer questions –
are little changed from a
century ago. Artificial in-
telligence has the poten-
tialtochangethatbyiden-
tifying patterns in learn-
ing that may not be appar-
ent to individual teachers
or administrators.
For instance, the lan-
guage-learning company
Duolingo uses AI and ma-
chine learning to create
and score tests of English
proficiency for universi-
ties, companies and gov-
ernment agencies. The
tests start with a series
of standard questions,
but based on how the stu-
dent does with those, the
system will select harder
or easier questions to
more quickly identify a
student’s exact abilities
and weaknesses.
Another assessment
project, Reach Every
Reader, staffed by the Har-
vard Graduate School of
Education, MIT and
Florida State University,
creates educational
games for parents to play
with their children while
teaching them to read.
Some of the games have
adults and children role-
play as characters based
on real-life scenarios.
These games can help
parents and teachers effi-
ciently determine wheth-
er children are reading at
their appropriate grade
level and get them on
track if they are not.

lia Bhatt and Ran-

braced parenthood
last year, as they
welcomed their daughter
Raha on November 6, 2022.
In a recent interview, the
Gangubai Kathiawadi ac-
tress talked about her post-
partum fitness journey and
revealed that she hasn’t put
any pressure on herself to
get back in shape post-de-
livery. Alia Bhatt said that
one of the main reasons
why she set a target for her
to lose weight was because
some shoots that required
her to look a certain way,
had to be put on halt when
she announced her preg-
nancy. Alia added that peo-
ple think she lost weight
unnaturally, but that
wasn’t the case.
“I know everyone be-
lieves that I lost weight un-
naturally but the truth is
that I can’t even get my wis-
dom tooth extracted at the
moment since I’m breast-
feeding and can’t be
given anaesthe-
sia,” she said.
