Ships do not sink because of water around them, ships sink because of water that gets into them.

U. P. S. C. Ships do not sink because of water around them, ships sink because of water that gets into them. It was a quiet afternoon in the harsh terrain of Ladakh. An Army jawan, who happened to be an athlete, was discussing about his training for boxing matches in olympics. But on the very same day, fate struck hard. The enemy troops attacked the camp.

He was hit by multiple bullets. Later when he woke up in the hospital, he found that U.P.S.C. he had lost the use of his legs forever. If he had believed that this was the end of life, his dreams would have sunk right there. But he did not allow the water of his negative thought to come in his ship. Instead he challenged his destiny itself, tried other sport - freestyle swimming. He pushed himself into Paralympics training. Proving the selectors wrong, he won India's 1st paralympic gold medal. He was none other than Murlikant Petkar. U.P.S.C. Above story of Mr. Murlikant have essence of the topic. Yet to understand it broadly lets decode the topic.

According to the topic, ship can sail if it manages the water to keep it outside. This means topic is focussing on internal strength to counter external pressures. Furthermore, it means how one handles external pressures without letting them infiltrate internally - that decides its resilience or collapse. After establishing the understanding of why internal strength becomes crucial in difficult situations. Let's analyze with arguments. ```json { "text": "U.P.S.C.\n\nAt the very begining, it\nis essential to be strong internally\nbecause the life itself is not\nin a linear fashion. Rather it\nis in oscillating manner with\na lot of ups and downs. So\ninternal strengths helps us\nto survive after hitting the\nrock bottom.\n\nFor instance, Virat Kohli,\nthe former Indian cricket captain\nwent through a long lean phase\nwhen he didn't score an inter-\nnational century. For almost 3 years.\nDespite intense pressure and criticism\nwith his patience, he sailed\nthrough this and gave a century\nin Asia cup 2022." } ``` U.P.S.C. Similarly, at the societal level, strong personalities are needed to fight against deep-rooted social evils. If not the social injustice will move on a peak. For instance, India have a legacy of social reformers like Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule who fought against evil practices. Whether its social hierarchy or reluctance towards women's emancipation. Because of these personalities society will sail towards the shore of egalitarianism. Furthermore, on institutional level, it is important for state to stand tall in U.P.S.C. midst of scrambling of global world order due to rising global tensions. For instance, wars like Israel - Palestine conflict and Russia - Ukraine war disrupted global supply chains. This has direct impact on trade, energy prices and inflation world wide. This threatened political stability in many countries including India. But due to strong institutions like RBI, SEBI, an independent judiciary and a resilient bureaucracy India managed to navigate the turmoil effectively. Moreover survival requires U.P.S.C. not only strong internal elements but also proper management of external conditions and reduction of internal vulnerabilities

. For example, in ecology, when invasive water Hyacinth entered many Indian lakes and rivers, it blocked sunlight, reduced oxygen levels and choked native aquatic life. so even healthy ecosystem struggled to sustain their niche. This shows strong system collapse only when external threats enter inside. After looking at these arguments, there can be counter arguments for the topic. Let's explore. Sometimes, small chunk of water is deliberately allowed inside the ship to detect cracks or leakages. This helps in repairing the ship earlier, ensuring the ship remains stable in a long run. For instance, diplomatically Kautilya advised the king to constantly test his ministers through various different lucrative offers. The purpose was not to overthrow the crown, but to identify weaknesses, ensure loyalty and strengthen internal stability of the kingdom. U.P.S.C. Furthermore, fear of sinking often hold a ship back from getting a high value exposures of the world. But progress happens when individual refuse to adopt this fear. For example, Anandi Joshi India's first female doctor stepped into completely unknown waters when Indian society resisted women's education. Moreover, external elements makes one's immune system more strong if entered in manageable limit. Just like human immune system becomes stronger when U.P.S.C. it faces small number of bacterial germs. without these small empowerments, immunity weakens and even minor shocks can destabilize the whole functioning of the system. Thus after understanding both the sides we can come at the final arguments that, ships cannot control entirely stormy seas, but it can control its sails and the direction of sails. similarly individuals must act with efforts (karma) while accepting the circumstance
