🤯 That’s exactly what the Svalbard Treaty is about; and UPSC just dropped a quiz question on it. Did you know India signed it in 1920? Yes, back when we were still British India. The treaty gives Norway sovereignty over Svalbard; but with a catch: no military bases allowed. And surprisingly, any signatory (including us) can live and do business there. 🇮🇳❄️ Also in the quiz: the INSTC; India’s smart trade route bypassing Pakistan, now with 13 members including Russia, Iran & even Syria. Oh, and Greenland? It’s Danish… but runs its own show on natural resources. Not connected to Europe by land; it’s actually part of North America! Bonus geography hit: Only Indonesia, Philippines & USA are in the Ring of Fire. No Australia. No Brazil. Gotcha. Missed this? You’re not alone. But remember; UPSC loves quietly important stuff. And these aren't just facts. They’re stories of strategy, sovereignty, and survival in global politics.
