India's Heavy Hedge Against China, and Its New Look to the United
29 India’s Heavy Hedge Against China, and its New Look to the United States to Help Daniel Twining 30 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies China and India together account for one-third of humanity. Both were advanced civilizations when Europe was in the Dark Ages. Until the 19th century, they constituted the world’s largest economies. Today they are, in terms of purchasing power, the world’s largest and third-largest national economies, and the fastest-growing major economies. Were they to form an alliance, they would dominate mainland Eurasia and the sea lanes of the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific that carry a preponderance of the world’s maritime energy trade. Yet these civilization-states seem destined to compete in the 21st century. India is engaged in a heavy hedge against China—although its history of non-alignment, traditional rhetoric of anti-Americanism, the dominance until recently of analysts’ tendency to view India’s security mainly in terms of its subcontinental competition with Pakistan, and the tendency for emerging market analysts to hyphenate India and China as rising economies can obscure this reality. Tactical cooperation in climate change talks and BRICS summits should not confuse us into seeing any kind of emerging India-China alignment in global affairs. Strategic rivalry of a quiet but steady nature characterizes their ties, to the point where it affects their relations with third countries: India’s relations with Russia have cooled substantially since President Putin’s tilt toward Beijing in the wake of Russia’s isolation from the West over Ukraine.

Ground Water Quality and Water Quality Index of Dwarka District of National Capital of India
IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 GROUND WATER QUALITY AND WATER QUALITY INDEX OF DWARKA DISTRICT OF NATIONAL CAPITAL OF INDIA Ravi Kant Dubey1, Jakir Hussain2, Nishchay Malhotra3, Ankur Mehta4 1Student, Dept. of Environmental Engineering, CBPGEC New Delhi, India 2National River Water Quality Laboratory, Central Water Commission, New Delhi, India 3Student, Dept. of Environmental Engineering, CBPGEC New Delhi, India 4Student, Dept. of Environmental Engineering, CBPGEC New Delhi, India Abstract Assessment of water quality of drinking water supplies has always been paramount in the field of environmental quality management. Groundwater quality of Dwarka has a special significance and needs greater attention of all concerned since it is the only major source for domestic, consumption. In this work we have estimated the ground water quality of Dwarka. Groundwater quality of Delhi needs greater attention because there is a continuous decline in water level and quality due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. The present study was attempted to access the groundwater quality of Dwarka district in Delhi. The samples of the ground water are collected manually from the bore wells which were approximately equally distributed all over 29 sectors and nearby areas. The samples were analyzed using standard procedures in the laboratory. The water quality index is a single number that expresses the quality of water by integrating the water quality variables. Its purpose is to provide a simple and concise method for expressing the water quality for different usage. Water Quality Index, has been calculated for the Dwarka sub-city and was studied for the suitability of water for drinking purposes and the results showed that the ground water quality was unfit for drinking in almost all of the areas scoring a water quality index greater than 110.

Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi)
India Habitat Centre Habitat Library & Resource Centre IHC Walk: Dec 13, 2014, 3:00 pm Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) Shahjahanabad Delhi went into something of an eclipse from the time of Humayun's Delhi to the accession of Shahjahan, the great Mughal builder who in 1648 built Shahjahanabad, the seventh city of Delhi. Shahjahan's Delhi, is today more visible than all the Delhi's built before it. The scale on which he built was also more heroic, as can be seen from the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid. Habitat Library & Resource Centre Page 1 The magnificence of the palace (Red Fort - World Heritage Monument at present) is best described in the famous couplet inscribed in the Diwan-i-Khas: Agar fardos ba rue Zamin ast Hamin ast a hamin ast a hamin ast. If paradise be on the face of the earth, it is this, even this, it is this The celebrated poet Mirza Galib, maintained the same fervour and wrote: "If the world is body, Delhi is the soul". There can be no better attributes for a city. Shahjahanabad was a walled city, and some of its gates and parts of the wall still stand. The romance of the bazaars of Delhi can be experienced at its best in and around Chandni Chowk and its by lanes. Shahjahanabad was secured and enclosed by about ten kilometer long well. Ten gates connected the city with the surrounding region. Lahore gate was the main entrance for the Red Port besides Delhi Gate. The Kashmere Gate, Calcutta Gate, Mori Gate, Kabul Gate, Faresh Khana Gate, Ajmere Gate and the Turkman Gate were the other major links of the city with the highways.
