It took 13 rounds of diplomatic discussions over 6 weeks to defuse the tension that had sparked fears of war, top officials told a parliamentary panel.
Exclusive satellite images accessed by ThePrint show that the Chinese has deployed 2,000 troops near Doklam. We bring perspectives if the Doklam issue has resolved or can flare up again.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
CHINA HAS KEPT THE INDO -SINO BORDERS UNRESOLVED FOR VARIOUS REASONS INCLUDING KEEPING IT AS A BARGAINING CHIP IN THE EMERGING WORLD ORDER, THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO BE IN THEIR LEAGUE FOR THE ASIAN LEADERSHIP SPACE…..THE ONLY WAY TO DETER THEM IS TO IMPOSE MARITIME ENCIRCLEMENT .,MEANWHILE RAISE SEVERAL SCOUTS OUT OF THE LOCAL POPULATION ALONG THE INDO CHINA LAC, THAT WILL BE A MUCH BETTER ANSWER, TIME WE GET FEW SQUADRONS OF NEW GENERATION AIRCRAFTS TO ENGAGE THEM EFFECTIVELY.

The first time I read a column by FS Nirupama Rao in The Hindu, the language was so elegant, felt she must be a student of English literature. A Google search confirmed that to be the case.
It is for the diplomatic corps to sensitise the political leadership that global diplomacy – for all its alcohol and protocol, what teetolars would call optics – is cold, unemotional business, has no place for concepts like personal chemistry. Try to recall the names of the last five Prime Ministers of Australia, now changing as swiftly as Japan’s used to. Or tot up the diplomatic and strategic gains from President Trump’s recent visit. 2. India’s troubled relations with China are painted on a canvas that stretches for generations. One constructive reset was fashioned by PM Rajiv Gandhi and Paramount Leader Deng in 1988. Another one, which takes note of contemporary realities and asymmetry, is overdue. 3. The United States – going beyond President Trump – has resolved to actively impede and block the rise of China. A dangerous confrontation is building up. President Xi too is unlike past leaders. In this background, India has to make wise choices, mindful of its own inherent strengths and weaknesses.
