It had also filed a review petition against the verdict. What was the recent judgement? ● The apex court reasoned that human failing and not caste is the reason behind the lodging of false criminal complaints. ● The Court also condemned its own earlier judgment saying it was against basic human dignity to treat all SC/ST community members as a liar or crook.

The complexities within varying paradigms, that seek to determine the significance of ideologies and the hegemony that is often associated with the same, convey truly that the old must seek to coexist, in more ways than one with the new. The contentions, keenly raised within the pages of the journal seek to establish too, that a dual notion of cultural hybridity that is so often particular to almost every community has sought too, to establish a voice.

Orengo 1,* ID and Cameron A. Petrie 2 ID 1 McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3ER, UK 2 Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3DZ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Nicola Masini and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 6 June 2017; Accepted: 12 July 2017; Published: 16 July 2017 Abstract: Remote sensing has considerable potential to contribute to the identification and reconstruction of lost hydrological systems and networks. Remote sensing-based reconstructions of palaeo-river networks have commonly employed single or limited time-span imagery, which limits their capacity to identify features in complex and varied landscape contexts. This paper presents a seasonal multi-temporal approach to the detection of palaeo-rivers over large areas based on long-term vegetation dynamics and spectral decomposition techniques. Twenty-eight years of Landsat 5 data, a total of 1711 multi-spectral images, have been bulk processed using Google Earth Engine© Code Editor and cloud computing infrastructure. The use of multi-temporal data has allowed us to overcome seasonal cultivation patterns and long-term visibility issues related to recent crop selection, extensive irrigation and land-use patterns. The application of this approach on the Sutlej-Yamuna interfluve (northwest India), a core area for the Bronze Age Indus Civilisation, has enabled the reconstruction of an unsuspectedly complex palaeo-river network comprising more than 8000 km of palaeo-channels.

PRZYPADEK ANDAMANÓW I NIKOBARÓW INDIA'S DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME DEFENSE CAPABILITIES. THE CASE OF ANDAMANS AND NICOBARS Streszczenie: O indyjskim Połączonym Dowództwie Andamanów i Nikobarów (ang. Andaman and Nicobar Command) światowa opinia publiczna dowiedziała się po zaginięciu w marcu 2014 roku malezyjskiego samolotu komunikacyjnego (lot 370). Wtedy to przez agencyjne ser- wisy przemknęła informacja, że całością niebagatelnych sił indyjskich wydzielonych do akcji poszukiwawczej (sześć okrętów, trzy jednostki Straży Wybrzeża, cztery samoloty, w tym najno- wocześniejsze indyjskie morskie maszyny patrolowe Boeing P-8I Neptune i kilka śmigłowców Mi-8) prowadzonej na rozległych akwenach południowo-wschodniej części Oceanu Indyjskie- go Surface dowodzi właśnie Commander-in-Chief Andaman and Nicobar Command (czyli Do- wódca Andamanów i Nikobarów, CICNAC). Dla większości odbiorców wiadomość ta nie miała zgoła żadnego znaczenia, gdyż świat frapował się losem zaginionej maszyny i jej pasażerów, w związku z czym nie wywołała żadnego echa. Z kolei profesjonaliści zajmujący się sytuacją po- lityczno-wojskową basenu Oceanu Indyjskiego zaskoczeni nią nie byli, gdyż już od kilkunastu lat obserwowali (i obserwują) konsekwentne i uporczywe wysiłki Indii ukierunkowane na roz- budowę potencjału wojskowego w rejonie owych grup wysp. Słowa kluczowe: Indie, strategia morska, bezpieczeństw morskie, Andamany, Nicobary. Summary: World public opinion
