Current Affairs Classes at MisFits.bet by Naman Shrivastava | My Review of MisFits and How to Read Newspapers
A few months ago, when we first experimented with Live Current Affairs sessions, something remarkable happened. MisFitters didn’t just want to know what had happened in the news — they wanted to debate why it happened, what it meant for the future, and how it connected to the larger web of economics, politics, and international dynamics. That’s when we realized: surface-level current affairs isn’t enough anymore. And that’s how the Live Deep Dive Current Affairs Masterclasses were born. Once you’ve spent a month in the MisFits program, you become eligible to attend these special live Masterclasses. But why wait a month? Because by then, you’ve built a foundation -and now you’re ready to start asking bigger questions. They interlink foundational subjects — such as Economics, Politics, Geography, International Affairs, History, Ethics, and Environment — with real-world problem-solving. These Masterclasses go far beyond routine current affairs updates. They are structured to help you form conjectures, test assumptions, and benchmark real-world issues against the frameworks you’ve studied — whether it’s constitutional design, economic trade-offs, ethical dilemmas, or geopolitical strategy. This cross-disciplinary approach trains you not just in what is happening, but in how to think deeply and critically about why it’s happening, what it means, and how different issues connect. Each Masterclass takes a contemporary issue and unpacks it through multiple lenses: historical precedent, institutional structure, social dynamics, and global comparisons. You start asking sharper questions: How does India’s approach compare to global benchmarks? What second- or third-order consequences are we missing? Which stakeholders win, and which ones lose? This isn’t just learning — it’s systems thinking in action. And yes, this has direct implications for UPSC. In the Prelims, you’ll begin to understand not just facts, but the logic behind them — which is key for eliminating tricky options. In the Mains, you’ll learn how to write answers that demonstrate clarity, structure, and strategic insight. And in the Interview, this training helps you stand apart — not just because you’re informed, but because you’ve built the habit of thinking like a policymaker, not just a candidate. We expect every MisFitter to attend at least two Deep Dive Masterclasses per month. This isn’t arbitrary. It’s a minimum commitment to the kind of critical, high-order thinking that modern nation-building demands In today’s complex world, success isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions — consistently, rigorously, and with curiosity. Deep Dive Masterclasses train you to do just that. Enrollment Link : www.misfits.bet

Hello Naman Sir,
Hope you are doing well,
In this session my learning was about reading the newspapers, by not just a random reading and information collection by reading the articles. Moreover it was about how to look at the article, about who is writing it and what could be the reason for thier view, thier designation and if it benefits to the people of india or creating a narrative for the certain group of influential people in corporates or politics.

About the various agreements of India and USA in military partnerships like LEMOA, COMCASA, ISA OR BECA. Analysis of these agreements beyond whats written, does it really a startegic agreements for both the nations or one party is getting benefits more.
Does it create dependency on USA for india in our military data.
About various think tanks funded by many stake holders, corporates or foreign funding for their influence. Thinks tanks building case for benefits of goverment policies for people of india, but in reality it is questionable because of their source of funding.
I could relate to this many political theories like Plato(Shadow of higher unchanging reality), CB Machperson talking about the money having more influence in the decision making. Marx talking about the Base and Super Structure, where base (bourgeiose) control the Super structure (politics).
UPSC asking about the question in mains regarding the think tanks getting private funding and startegic benefit of agreements, shows the Crises of legitimacy of MEA.
My core learning was not just knowing about these agreements but analyse them and all the other information that we see in our day to day life.
Thanks and Regards
