1 His Excellency Shri Ram Nath Kovind President of India
1 His Excellency Shri Ram Nath Kovind President of India Rashtrapati Bhavan, President’s Estate New Delhi, Delhi, 110004 India 11 March 2020 Letter to His Excellency, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, President of India, from the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute Your Excellency, We are writing to you on behalf of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) to express our concern over the transfer of Justice S Muralidhar from the Delhi High Court to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seemingly in response to his expression of ‘anguish’ over the failure of the New Delhi police to counter violence between Muslims and Hindus. The International Bar Association, established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. It has a membership of over 80,000 individual lawyers, and 190 bar associations and law societies, spanning over 160 countries. The IBAHRI, an autonomous and financially independent entity, works with the global legal community to promote and protect human rights and the independence of the legal profession worldwide. The IBAHRI has been informed that Justice Muralidhar was notified of his transfer on the very evening that followed his criticism of the Delhi Police. It has been reported that Justice Muralidhar asked that the Delhi Police ensure the safety of all those injured in the violence at a hearing at his residence on Tuesday 25 February. On 26 February, he expressed ‘anguish’ over the Delhi Police’s failures to counter violence whilst hearing the case in court and to register ‘First Information Reports’ against political agitators spreading hate speech with the intent to fuel social unrest.

Nuclear Capability, Bargaining Power, and Conflict by Thomas M. Lafleur
Nuclear capability, bargaining power, and conflict by Thomas M. LaFleur B.A., University of Washington, 1992 M.A., University of Washington, 2003 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2004 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Security Studies KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract Traditionally, nuclear weapons status enjoyed by nuclear powers was assumed to provide a clear advantage during crisis. However, state-level nuclear capability has previously only included nuclear weapons, limiting this application to a handful of states. Current scholarship lacks a detailed examination of state-level nuclear capability to determine if greater nuclear capabilities lead to conflict success. Ignoring other nuclear capabilities that a state may possess, capabilities that could lead to nuclear weapons development, fails to account for the potential to develop nuclear weapons in the event of bargaining failure and war. In other words, I argue that nuclear capability is more than the possession of nuclear weapons, and that other nuclear technologies such as research and development and nuclear power production must be incorporated in empirical measures of state-level nuclear capabilities. I hypothesize that states with greater nuclear capability hold additional bargaining power in international crises and argue that empirical tests of the effectiveness of nuclear power on crisis bargaining must account for all state-level nuclear capabilities. This study introduces the Nuclear Capabilities Index (NCI), a six-component scale that denotes nuclear capability at the state level.

Indian Leaders on Tibet.Pmd
C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor-General of India, on Tibet Brutal Colonialism in Tibet IT is difficult to find suitable words to express the sympathy that I feel in respect of this movement - of what I may call in a different sense - a movement for the liberation of Tibet. The issue of Tibet is not a question of legalistic exploration as to the sovereignty of Tibet but a question of human rights which must be decided on the plane of justice and humanity and not on the basis of any legal puzzle. Sovereignty and Suzerainty are terms which have varied from time to time in respect of their content. Whatever legal jargon might have been used from time to time, in respect of the relation between Tibet and China, in particular, and the outer world, in general, no one can doubt the fact that Tibetan people have a right to rule themselves. His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his message had made things quite clear and pointed out how even on a legalistic plane there can be no doubt about the rights of the Tibetan people to rule themselves irrespective of any belonging to other nationalities. This invasion of Tibet which terminated in His Holiness taking refuge in Indian territory is brutal colonialism. There can, therefore, be no second thoughts in the matter. All Indian people wants Tibet to be released from the grip of China. 1 Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Indian Republic, on Tibet (Excerpts from his last public speech, Gandhi Maidan, Patna, 24 October, 1962.) FREEDOM is the most sacred boon.

Village Bhadaula, District Meerut. Uttar Pradesh. 1950. Charan Singh: An Introduction Charan Singh was moulded by three key influences: his early life in a self-cultivating peasant family and the realities of the village, the teachings of Swami Dayanand Saraswati and those of Mohandas Gandhi. His thoughts, ideals and friendships took shape during the mass movement for Swaraj and freedom from colonial British rule led by Gandhi. His private and public life was one, his incorruptibility and high character recognised by all who encountered him. Singh believed deeply in a democratic society of small producers and small consumers brought together in a system not capitalist or communist instead one that addressed as a whole the uniquely Indian problems of poverty, unemployment, inequality, caste and corruption. Each of these issues remains intractable today, and his solutions as fresh and relevant to their amelioration and ultimate eradication. Charan Singh was born on 23 December 1902 in Meerut District of the United Provinces (Uttar Pradesh) in an illiterate tenant farmer’s village hut. His mental fortitude and capability were recognised early in life and he went on to acquire a B.Sc., M.A.
