    TLP 2021 Phase 1 – CA Full Compilation 2021 Q1. India is going to have a new parliament. Where does the proposed design of the building take inspiration from? Discuss. Approach As the directive here is discuss it is necessary to write in detail all aspects of the proposed design of the new parliament building also there should be a brief mention of the importance of the parliament in a democracy like India and the role parliament has played in making a largest successful democracy of the world also how this new building will fulfil country’s aspirations. Introduction Parliament is a central feature of a successful democracy. It is a place where people’s aspirations are given a shape. Old parliament building gave India a direction where millions were taken out of poverty and rights and dignity was ensured. Old Parliament building gave a new direction to India after independence. New building will be a witness to building of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Body Need for a new parliamentary building – The idea of a new structure for Parliament is not a recent one — two former Speakers highlighted this need as the number of parliamentary staff, security personnel, media visitors, and parliamentary activities have seen a steep rise. During a Joint Session, the Central Hall is jam-packed and a few MPs have to sit on additionally-arranged chairs. Since Parliament is a heritage building, there are severe limitations to the structural repair, alteration and modifications that can be made. The existing Parliament building lacks several safety features such as earthquake- proofing, a standard fireproofing system and also has inadequate office space.

This research presents the case study of Diamar Basha Dam, one of the most delayed hydropower projects with a checkered history in Pakistan. Feasibility studies of Diamar Basha Dam have been carried out over the last 26 years and there seem to be no signs of its construction to date because of financial issues and territorial disputes with neighbors. It has also given a bird's eye view of unfathomable political conditions of the Kashmir dispute after the British colonization that gave rise to a new political identity to Gilgit Baltistan. The peaceful and fair solution to this political quagmire has been presented in this paper by employing Hall’s Tri- Dimension Model. If all three nuclear powers agreed on the given solution then this could ultimately lead to a healthier economic future of the entire region and could play a pivotal role in changing the face of South Asia because a country can make significant economic progress by harnessing adequately its water resources.

  • The Case of Demchok Radar on the 'Chinese Side'
    The Case of Demchok Radar on the ‘Chinese side’ of Demchok On August 14, 1939, as he camped near Gartok, one of the three British (Indian) Trade Agencies in Tibet, Rai Bahadur Dr Kanshi Ram, the British Trade Agent (BTA) in Western Tibet, found finally time to write to the Political Agent of the Punjab Hill States in Simla: “I have the honour to submit herewith the following report of my journey from Simla to Gartok via Srinagar and Leh, Kashmir,” Ram started. He had left Simla on May 20 to reach Srinagar on May 27; after a week-long stay in the Valley, he began his journey to the Tibetan border. He was accompanied by the Wazir Wazarat of Ladakh; both were to meet the Garpon or Governor of Western Tibet1 for a tripartite inquiry into the alleged murder of a Tibetan, Champa Skaldan by Zaildar, a Ladakhi of Rupchu. The crime had been committed in Ladakh a few years earlier. After a week-halt in Leh, they started for Demchok, the last Ladakhi village before the Tibetan border. They reached Demchok on July 17, 1939, where they were to meet the Senior and Junior Garpons; the inquiry started three days later. Dr Kanshi Ram, in his report to Simla, notes: “On the night of July 21 the stream by the side of which we were camping suddenly rose to higher level and began to flow over our camping ground at midnight. We were abed as alarm was raised and we then got up and took our luggage and other belongings to a place of safety, and had to keep awake throughout the night.

    Volume I, Issue 10 | October 2020 DPG INDO-PACIFIC MONITOR Volume 1, Issue 10 October 2020 ABOUT US Founded in 1994, the Delhi Policy Group (DPG) is among India’s oldest think tanks with its primary focus on strategic and international issues of critical national interest. DPG is a non-partisan institution and is independently funded by a non-profit Trust. Over past decades, DPG has established itself in both domestic and international circles and is widely recognised today among the top security think tanks of India and of Asia’s major powers. Since 2016, in keeping with India’s increasing global profile, DPG has expanded its focus areas to include India’s regional and global role and its policies in the Indo-Pacific. In a realist environment, DPG remains mindful of the need to align India’s ambitions with matching strategies and capabilities, from diplomatic initiatives to security policy and military modernisation. At a time of disruptive change in the global order, DPG aims to deliver research based, relevant, reliable and realist policy perspectives to an actively engaged public, both at home and abroad. DPG is deeply committed to the growth of India’s national power and purpose, the security and prosperity of the people of India and India’s contributions to the global public good. We remain firmly anchored within these foundational principles which have defined DPG since its inception. DPG INDO-PACIFIC MONITOR This publication is a monthly analytical survey of developments and policy trends that impact India’s interests and define its challenges across the extended Indo-Pacific maritime space, which has become the primary theatre of global geopolitical contestation.

  • Tradition the Indian Alignme
    ITEM II TRADITIONAL AND CUSTOMARY BASIS OF THE SINO-INDIAN BOUNDARY IN THE WESTERN SECTOR PART ONE: Tradition The Indian alignment in the area west of the Karakoram Pass is in accordance with geographical principles, tradition and custom; and the area has always been under Indian jurisdiction. Both the upper valley of the Ghunjerab river and the upper valley of the Shaksgam river, lying south of the Aghil mountains, have always been a part of Hunza in India. The people of Hunza have exercised various rights including agricultural cultivation and pasturage and grazing rights in this area. The Shimshalis in particular used the entire area upto the Shaksgam for grazing and extracted salt at various places in the valley. On the other hand, no one from China ever used this area. The Mirs of Hunza exercised authority in this region, maintained posts and collected revenue, The official maps of the Government of India, including the one attached to the 1907 edition of the Imperial Gazetteer of India and the political maps published by the Survey of India, showed this area in Indian territory. Official Chinese maps published in 1917, 1919 and 1933 also showed this area as a part of India. In the Western Sector east of the Karakoram Pass, the first document presented by the Indian side was an extract from an old Ladakhi chronicle, as proof that the Indian alignment in the Western 'Sector was a tradition at one. The Indian side had already dealt with the location and natural features of the Sino-Indian boundary and shown, among other things, that it had come to coincide with a geographical principle.
