  • Indian-Cabinet-On-Sri-Lankan-Civil-War-Dossier.Pdf
    Rajiv Gandhi’s Cabinet 1987 Minister of Home Affairs: Buta Singh Buta Singh has been associated with the Indian National Congress since the time Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister was in power. He has been a member of Parliament on a number of occasions and is effectively the number 2 in the Government today. Being Home Minister of India, his main priority will be to ensure the internal security of India. Irrespective of what the cabinet decides on Sri Lanka, he has to stive to maintain law and order across India and ensure that the cabinet’s decision doesn’t lead to any uprising. His biggest challenge will be dealing with the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Since the native population of the state and the Sri Lankan separatists share the same background and culture. A lot of people in the state sympathise with the Sri Lankan separatists and therefore any action against them can throw this state up into flames. Maintaining law and order here will be of utmost importance to show the world that India stands united. Minister of External Affairs: P. Shiv Shankar Hailing from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Shiv Shankar rose through the ranks of the Congress to become External Affairs minister of India. He will have a key role to play in whatever decision the Indian Cabinet takes regarding the Sri Lankan Civil War. On one hand he will have to prioritize national interests and support whatever is better for the nation’s security. However, he will also have to keep in mind India’s position in the global community and ensure that the Government doesn’t jeopardize relations with any key partners.

  • SWP Comments
    Introduction Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs Indo–Pakistan Relations Problems and Prospects for a Sustained Rapprochement? Christian Wagner SWP Comments The first meeting between India’s new prime minister, Manmohan Singh, and Paki- stan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, on the periphery of the United Nations’ General Assembly on September 24, 2004, served to foster the rapprochement between both countries that started in April 2003. Although no spectacular initiatives were announced, the conciliatory tone of the two leaders’ speeches before the General Assembly and the joint statement released after their talks underscored the will on both sides to carry on with the cooperation that has been set in motion. The new dialog offers the possibility of expanding economic and social relations, something that may in turn help moderate the Kashmir conflict, which has strained bilateral relations for 57 years. Both sides have developed a new flexibility in the question of Kashmir, even if a quick solution is not on the horizon. The success of this rapproche- ment will depend on the Pakistani government’s ability to implement this change in foreign policy in the face of intense domestic opposition. After the attack on the Indian Parliament anything, it was the personal ambition of in December 2001, relations between India Prime Minister Vajpayee that led to this and Pakistan quickly deteriorated.

  • Kashmiri Separatists: Origins, Competing Ideologies, and Prospects for Resolution of the Conflict
    Order Code RL31587 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Kashmiri Separatists: Origins, Competing Ideologies, and Prospects for Resolution of the Conflict September 30, 2002 name redacted Foreign Affairs Analyst Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Kashmiri Separatists: Origins, Competing Ideologies, and Prospects for Resolution of the Conflict Summary The recent military standoff and threatened nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan have lately focused congressional attention on the longstanding territorial dispute over the former princely state of Kashmir. Although recent trips to the region by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage have dampened the rhetoric of both nations’ leaders, state elections set for October of 2002 on the Indian side of the Line of Control raise the specter of more violence in the disputed area and a continued threat of war. And although Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has largely reduced infiltrations by Islamic militants into Jammu and Kashmir state in India, recent reports indicate that this may be an unsustainable long-term policy for any Pakistani leader, at least in the country’s current political climate. Thus despite India’s insistence that the Kashmiri insurgency is a domestic issue and adamant rejection of any international intervention, the dispute has been seen by many State Department officials as “that other conflict” whose nuclear character may make the dispute as dangerous to regional stability as that of the most recent round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This report focuses exclusively on the uprising in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, which has been disputed since both countries became independent in 1947.

Mohan Lal Research Scholar (Sociology), Lovely Professional University 2. Dr. Debahuti Panigrah Asstt. Professor, Deptt. of Sociology, Lovely Professional University Abstract Kashmiri Pandits, a small religious minority community in Kashmir's valley of which exodus began in January 1990 in which they were forcibly driven out of their homeland in Kashmir. As a result, their homes were set on fire, temples were burnt, and hundreds of people were killed. Kashmiri Pandits then decided to leave the valley and have been staying in refugee camps in various parts of the country, especially in Jammu. The government has taken a number of steps to help struggling families, as part of a larger strategy whereby those who have moved will eventually return to the valley. The government has also been providing assistance to uprooted families in Jammu district's camp and non-camp areas who have lost their source of income due to migration. Since then, Kashmiri Pandits have not returned to their homeland, and a return is still a distant hope for them. This paper aims to know the causes of exodus of Kashmiri Pandit, to know the problem faced by the Kashmiri Pandit, measure taken by the government for rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandit and to examine their present status. It also aims to find out the causes and effect of exodus and the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley as well as the government's various decisions in their favou r.

Kumar's Janata Dal-United won 86 seats and BJP 54 seats against 55 and 37 won in the March elections, which had thrown up a hung verdict, President's rule and the consequence dissolution. NDA's chief ministerial candidate 54- year-old Kumar, an electrical engineer who led coalition to a convincing victory, said good governance will be his top most priority and that he would be fair to all religious communities and castes, including the extremely backward classes and deprived sections. He is expected to be elected leader of the JD(U)-BJP legislature party and likely to be sworn in on Thursday at the Gandhi Maidan in Patna. RJD, which had a vice- like grip on power ever since 1990, finally lost in the battle of ballots securing 53 seats and its alliance partner Congress getting nine seats, one less than last time.
