India and Russia's cooperation can herald a new Asian order

With interconnectivity between Central Asian republics and India via Afghanistan and Pakistan, Russia, India, and China may create a new Asian order.

The recent whirlwind visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin is significant because both Russia and India are in a same situation. On one hand, a war-like situation is prevalent in the eastern borders of Russia with Ukraine and India on the other hand is facing an increasingly hostile China on its northern borders.

Relations between the United States and India have never been so cordial and Russia and China relations are also at their best.

India and Russia can help each other

While all analysts have been talking about the S-400 deal and its ramifications due to the American sanctions, it is possible that Russian President may be seeking Indian help to cool its eastern borders with Ukraine where the situation is very tense.

In return, Russia could rein in China with which it enjoys excellent relations. This could calm the Indo-China border tensions.

Opening borders will herald prosperity

Today, India is going towards a multi-aligned relationship with both the super powers. It is the just opposite of Non-Aligned where India, as in the past, had maintained equidistance from both the super powers.

However, in this multi-polar world, no nation can remain aloof and must engage with even adversaries. Russia and India along with China can build a new Asian order with inter-connectivity between the Central Asian republics and India through Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Russia is the all-weather ally of India

Putin’s visit has not evoked any response from either China or the US. India has brushed off sanction threats by the US and went on with its S-400 deal with Russia. In all probability, India could get a reprieve from sanctions like in the past when it bought oil from Iran.

When it comes to high-end technology, Russia has always been a reliable partner. The QUAD, which included Australia, the US, India and Japan, is still relevant. However, when it comes to transfer of sensitive technology like Nuclear Submarines, India is left out and AUKUS comes into existence.

It must not be forgotten that Russia has helped India miniaturize its nuclear reactor to be fit in its Arihant-class submarine, a fact which was acknowledged by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Trade is the key for peace in the region

All these factors have pushed both India and Russia to come closer and together form a new Asian order. India and Russia along with China will have to clear the mess created by the American invasion and then hastily withdraw from Afghanistan.

The way for peace in the region can only be obtained by opening borders and allowing the trade to flourish between the nations. It will lead to economic prosperity in one of the most poverty ridden region of the globe.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
