  • WEEKLY NEWS and ANALYSIS from 3Rd to 8Th SEP, 2015
    rd th WEEKLY NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM 3 TO 8 SEP, 2015 INTERNATIONAL NEWS China’s missiles set to challenge U.S. China appears set to signal to the United States that it is now ready with a credible military deterrent by demonstrating its DF-21D missiles, widely seen as an aircraft carrier killer, at the grand parade at Tiananmen Square, marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. The DF-21D is a unique ballistic missile with an anti-ship role. The weapon first acquires a ballistic trajectory and then reenters the atmosphere, attacking its target at a 10 times the speed-of-sound, defeating most known anti-ship defences. Analysts say the missile has been specifically designed to counter the US advantage in aircraft carriers, and is therefore a strategic weapon because of its potential role in shifting the balance of military power in the Pacific. With a range of 1,500 km the DF-21D’s lethality is enhanced on account of its manoeuvrable warhead, making it ideal for attacking U.S. aircraft carriers east of Taiwan. Duowei News, a U.S.-based Chinese outlet has earlier pointed out that the DF-31B—an easy to handle solid fueled missile would be one of the star attractions of the parade. This weapon, which is mobile, and therefore more survivable to a strike, has an 11,200 kilometer range, capable of covering the entire United States. 'Mediterranean turning into graveyard of migrants’ Turkey's President Recep Erdogan said that migrants were dying while attempting to sneak into Europe because the latter would not accept them legally.

The study pursues two research questions; is the coverage of these newspaper war or peace- oriented, and do they report Kashmir Conflict through Two-Party (Pak-India) or Multi- Party lenses. For data sources, seven major recent events; Burhan Wani’s killing (2016), Uri Attack, Indian Surgical Strikes, Pulwama Attack, Balakot Airstrike, and Abhi Nandan’s Capture and Release (2019) were chosen. A total of 56 stories, one lead story and one editorial from each newspaper about every event, were collected. Each story was evaluated according to Galtung’s 19 indicators; nine War, nine Peace and one Neutral, and accordingly categorized. The analysis revealed that DAWN had the highest (46.15%) peace-oriented coverage while The HINDU was second with only 23% peace content. In the war category, The Nation scored the highest (100%) while the Times of India was found second (92.85%). No story could qualify for the neutral category. Overall, the coverage of these newspapers was found grossly (81.13%) war- oriented.

  • Idrees & Khanum Rise of Violent Hindu
    Aslam, Iqbal, & Hussain Internal & External Dynamics of Gilgit-Baltistan INTERNAL & EXTERNAL DYNAMICS OF GILGIT-BALTISTAN: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES FOR CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Fawad Aslam,1 Khuram Iqbal,2 & Mujahid Hussain3 Abstract: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is presently a subject of geopolitical and regional security discourse. Gilgit-Baltistan is at a crossroads of the CPEC project due to its strategic importance. However, this region has received global attention due to an international territorial dispute over Kashmir with India, undeclared constitutional status, and sectarian conflicts that plunged this region into a conflict zone. To examine the ambiguity of the constitutional status of Gilgit- Baltistan and the presence of infrastructural changes in the region, the researchers adopted the Process Tracking method which proposes a hypothesized causal mechanism and pays attention to changes that have taken place over time. This study finds out how the sectarian, religious, and nationalist dynamics of Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir as a strategic constraint of the government of Pakistan for the legal status of Gilgit-Baltistan? It also discusses growing Chinese interest, particularly the CPEC, and Indian coercive response to this project, accentuate the Pakistani government to deal with the Gilgit-Baltistan constitutional complaints. The study concludes that constitutional status effects the region's ability to participate in and benefit from CPEC. Key Words: CPEC, constitutional status, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pulwama, sectarianism, geopolitics. INTRODUCTION Gilgit-Baltistan is at a crossroads of the CPEC project due to its strategic location. Gilgit-Baltistan is considered as Northern Gwadar of Pakistan, located between the border of Indian Kashmir to the southeast, Xinjiang province of China to the east and northeast, and the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan to the north and connecting Pakistan with another province through the west of Khayber Pakhtunkhwa.

India has also become more forthcoming in providing support and in capacity building, including providing humanitarian assistance to Nepal or Sri Lanka. With Bangladesh, the completion of the Land Boundary Agreement, improvements in energy connectivity and steps taken towards accessing the port of Chittagong have all been crucial developments. India’s focus on connectivity is also gradually extending outward, whether to Chabahar in Iran or Kaladan in Myanmar. India has also expressed its willingness to develop issue-specific groupings that are not held hostage to consensus. For example Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) grouping – meant to advance motor vehicle movement, water power management, and inter- grid connectivity With respect to all of its neighbours, including Nepal, India has taken concrete steps over the past two years to promote goodwill and deepen economic and social connectivity Terrorism emanating against India by entities based in neighbourhood and supported by elements of the state remains a top priority.
