Going ballistic: Why does Kim Jong-un continue to play bad boy?

Kim Jong-un's weapons obsession has been posing a threat to the world

Pyongyang is at it, yet again. Even as a UN ban on testing nuclear and ballistics weapons remains, North Korea has gone a step further in violation of the restriction, and done just that.

Opening the New Year with the test of a suspected ballistic missile, North Korea has sent the global community looking for reasons as to why it shouldn’t condemn such mischief.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s 2022 shocker came in the form of the suspected ballistic missile that crashed into the sea off the nation’s east coast. Landing in the waters between the Korean peninsula and Japan, the action evoked strong condemnations from Seoul and Tokyo. Ballistic missiles are believed to be a greater threat that cruise missiles as they have the capability to carry more powerful payloads. They also have a longer range and can fly faster.

Kim Jong-un throws UN ban to the wind

Though the UN has slapped a ban on testing of ballistic and nuclear ammunition, Kim Jong-un has thrown the restrictions out of the window by doing just that.

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.
