AUGUST EDITION AUGUST A message from class eleven-: After returning from the summer vacation, there has been a lot of enthusiasm among the class elevens as well as in the other classes too. The soccer season, the most exhilarating sports season of the year has also arrived. Not being able to reach the semi-finals of the Jackie Tournament was disappointing for us, but we must under- stand that one must learn from one’s mistakes and move on. After the Board results, we heaved sighs of relief and geared our- selves for an exciting new term. There are a lot of new faces in class and it is fun making new friends. Interacting with new people helps us to learn a lot more whether it is about a new country or the interests, hobbies and general views of another individual. Everyone is very excited about the upcoming House plays even though our first terminal examinations are round the corner. We have started pre- paring for them and hope to score good marks. All the best for the upcoming events and the rest of the year. EXCELSIOR!

Resultantly, perceptions and sentiments about India also improved rapidly on the international front. Prime Minister Modi’s invite to SAARC heads of states for his swearing in signified his earnestness and commitment to enhancing relationships with the neighbours. Thereafter, his visits to Bhutan, Japan, meeting President Xi Jinping and later addressing the UN and summit with President Obama underlined the thrust of India’s reinvigoration of its foreign and security policies. BRICS, ASEAN and G-20 summits were the multilateral forums where India was seen in a new light because of its massive political mandate and strength of the new leadership which was likely to hasten India’s progress. Bilateral meets with Myanmar and Australian leadership on the sidelines of ASEAN and G-20 and visit of the Vietnamese Prime Minister to India underscored PM Modi’s emphasis on converting India’s Look East Policy to Act East Policy’. International Dynamics While Indian economy was being viewed with dismay in the first half of the year, now India is fast becoming an important and much sought after destination for investment as the change of government has engendered positive resonance both at home and abroad. -

India, Iran JV in sanctions list, crude oil ferries hit New Delhi, Saturday, 10 July 2010 In a setback to THE Indian efforts to re-energise the relationship with Iran, a 35-year-old Indo- Iranian shipping joint venture, Iran-o-Hind, has been placed under sanctions in the latest UN Security Council Resolution 1929 on Iran. This is the only entity with Indian links included in the fresh round of sanctions. This has significant implications for transport of crude that India imports from Iran. India imports 12 per cent of its crude from Iran. Tankers from Iran-o-Hind, which has a fleet of eight vessels, were used for this purpose. Sources said now India would have to look for alternate ways to transport crude, engaging services of entities that have not been affected by the sanctions.

India wants to resume talks with Iran on ‘Peace Pipeline’ New Delhi, Monday, 12 July 2010 After a two-year lull, India has proposed to resume talks with Iran on importing gas through a pipeline passing through Pakistan, but Iran wants the meeting to happen in Tehran. India, in April, proposed a meeting of the India-Iran Joint Working Group (JWG) between May 23 and 28 in New Delhi to discuss the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, but Tehran has not yet confirmed the dates. -
