INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Saudi Arabia Abolishes Kafala System

  • In a historic reform, Saudi Arabia abolished the kafala system, a long-criticised labour framework that governed millions of foreign workers, including a large Indian diaspora. The kafala system often compared to modern-day slavery, restricted workers' mobility, job flexibility, and legal protection. This move, announced in June 2025 and implemented in October, is a major milestone in the Kingdom's push under Vision 2030 to modernise its economy and human rights record. For Indian workers, who make up a significant portion of Saudi Arabia's migrant labour force, this change offers long-overdue dignity, freedom, and protection from systemic abuse.
  • The kafala (sponsorship) system was introduced in the 1950s across most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It allowed employers (kafeels) to exercise near-total control over foreign workers, particularly those in domestic work, construction, hospitality, and sanitation.

DEFENCE

India Raises Bhairav Battalions for Rapid Strike Missions

  • The Indian Army is undergoing a bold transformation with the introduction of 25 Bhairav Battalions, a new class of elite units designed to operate between the regular infantry and the Special Forces. These "lean and mean" battalions will focus on surprise strikes, counter-insurgency operations, reconnaissance, and high-mobility missions, especially along India's volatile borders with China and Pakistan. The creation of these battalions is part of a broader military modernisation push aimed at boosting rapid response capability and strategic depth.
  • First announced by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi in July 2025, the Bhairav Battalions represent a hybrid combat model. Unlike the small Ghatak Platoons that operate within each infantry battalion (about 20 soldiers each), the Bhairav Battalions will be larger — about 250 soldiers per unit — and specially trained for terrain-specific missions.
