Single-handedly, he nurtured the Centre and has left it with an enviable reputation. No praise is adequate to describe the sterling work done by him. Those of us who succeed him can only hope to maintain the high standards set by him and, in his memory, take the Centre to greater heights. The Centre will always be associated with his name. One project that was close to his heart was the publication of the Air Power journal and we hope to ensure its continuation, both in frequency of issue and the quality of its contents. The support of all our readers is solicited. It is but appropriate that the first article in the current journal describes its launch so many years ago and the role of Air Cmde Jasjit Singh in starting the journal. Also included in this issue is an article on the likely consequences of Pakistan’s slide into jihad; and an examination of what India’s strategy should be towards the all important aspect of cyber warfare. Tibet will always remain an important subject of study and the article in this issue examines the geo-political aspects. Also, there is an article on the Indian aerospace industry, and an article that studies the impact of the Arctic from an Asian viewpoint. Happy reading. V AIR POWER Journal Vol. 8 No. 3, MONSOON 2013 (July-September) LAUNCH OF AIR POWER JOURNAL (IN RETROSPECT) D.C. BAKSHI The Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) was initially housed in a DDA flat. It had limited financial resources, but was powered by the indefatigable zeal of Air Cmde Jasjit Singh. During briefings, Air Cmde Jasjit Singh often Group Captain D.C. Bakshi VSM (Retd) was the Managing Editor of Air Power Journal at the time of its launch in 2004. 1 AIR POWER Journal Vol. 8 No. 3, MONSOON 2013 (July-September) LAUNCH OF AIR POWER JOURNAL (IN RETROSPECT) expressed his keenness to start a professional journal exclusively for ‘air’ and ‘space’. However, shortage of funds came in the way: we looked for patrons for grants, advertisements and sponsorships. Shri Mukerjee and myself, two of his ‘obedient’ staff members provided a helping hand, while Air Cmde Jasjit Singh continued to labour hard to fulfill his cherished dream of setting up CAPS. A dedicated professional journal was the corollary of the project which he pursued with the same vigour. Shri J.R. Nanda, Chief Executive Officer of AVI-OIL, known for his patronage for defence cause (s) came to our rescue when he offered to insert quarterly advertisements in the journal. This would enable us to make an initial breakthrough. I was appointed the first Managing Editor ofAir Power Journal. During a brief function at India International Centre, on October 4, 2009, Air Cmde Jasjit Singh, at his wittiest, stated that “it was his crazy dream during the last 30 years to have a journal entirely dedicated to air power. This dream has finally seen its fruition.” He further added, “It is probably the only journal of its kind in East/West of Suez”. The release of the Journal by Marshal of the Air Force, Arjan Singh, DFC, was of a special significance, since it was dedicated to the legendary hero of the Indian skies, Air Mshl Subroto Mukerjee. Shri M.K. Rasgotra (former Foreign Secretary) who had chaired the session, cited the dominant role of air power in Kosovo, the two Gulf wars, and in Afghanistan. During these conflicts, air power had played a decisive role and it was proved in ample measure that no war could be won without it. Shri Inder Malhotra, a profound scholar of politico-military affairs, gave interesting insights from a wide canvas of 30 years of media coverage. Air Chief Mshl S. Krishnaswamy, the then Chief of the Air Staff, had graced the occasion. The distinguished members of the audience who applauded the launch of the Journal included Lt. Gen. A.M. Vohra (Retd), Adm Hiranandani (Retd), Air Mshl Vinod Patney (Retd) and Brig Gurmeet Kanwal. It was on this occasion that Marshal of the Air Force Arjan Singh, DFC, briefly touched upon the subject of “non-participation” (in an offensive AIR POWER Journal Vol. 8 No. 3, MONSOON 2013 (July-September) 2 D.C. BAKSHI role) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) during the 1962 India-China War. He exhorted the Centre to undertake critical ‘stock-taking’ of such episodes for benefit in the future. Citing the centuries old mantra of gaining an edge against the enemy, the Marshal advised, “One should not only know one’s own strengths and weaknesses but those of the enemy as well.” Academic inputs by scholars and strategists through Air Power Journal were expected to provide sound back-ups. Former Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Mshl O.P. Mehra, the patron of CAPS, was of the firm opinion that the R&D sector needed strengthening; he strongly recommended setting-up an Aeronautical Commission to deal with the entire gamut of the aviation sector. On October 4, 2013, Air Power Journal enters the 10th year of its publication. May this enduring legacy of Air Cmde Jasjit Singh continue for years!! 3 AIR POWER Journal Vol. 8 No. 3, MONSOON 2013 (July-September) PAKISTAN’S IDEOLOGICAL SLIDE INTO JIHAD: CONSEQUENCES AND PROSPECTS SHALINI CHAWLA Pakistan has been in existence for more than six decades but the state has not been able to define its identity till date. Pakistan has been a nation of contradictions; it has shared an ambiguous relationship with Islam, tried to embrace Western notions of modernity, and, at the same time, tried retaining the orthodox Islamic identity, has an overpowering and ambitious army which has ruled the nation for more than 30 years directly, and nearly an equal period with a civilian façade, but has still struggled periodically to go back to the democratic order controlled by the fractured political leadership and has suffered a deep national identity crisis.

About FPRI’s Program on National Security The end of the Cold War ushered in neither a period of peace nor prolonged rest for the United States military and other elements of the national security community. The 1990s saw the U.S. engaged in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and numerous other locations. The first decade of the 21st century likewise has witnessed the reemergence of a state of war with the attacks on 9/11 and military responses (in both combat and non-combat roles) globally. While the United States remains engaged against foes such as al-Qa`ida and its affiliated movements, other threats, challengers, and opportunities remain on the horizon.

  • A the Hacker
    A The Hacker Madame Curie once said “En science, nous devons nous int´eresser aux choses, non aux personnes [In science, we should be interested in things, not in people].” Things, however, have since changed, and today we have to be interested not just in the facts of computer security and crime, but in the people who perpetrate these acts. Hence this discussion of hackers. Over the centuries, the term “hacker” has referred to various activities. We are familiar with usages such as “a carpenter hacking wood with an ax” and “a butcher hacking meat with a cleaver,” but it seems that the modern, computer-related form of this term originated in the many pranks and practi- cal jokes perpetrated by students at MIT in the 1960s. As an example of the many meanings assigned to this term, see [Schneier 04] which, among much other information, explains why Galileo was a hacker but Aristotle wasn’t. A hack is a person lacking talent or ability, as in a “hack writer.” Hack as a verb is used in contexts such as “hack the media,” “hack your brain,” and “hack your reputation.” Recently, it has also come to mean either a kludge, or the opposite of a kludge, as in a clever or elegant solution to a difficult problem. A hack also means a simple but often inelegant solution or technique. The following tentative definitions are quoted from the jargon file ([jargon 04], edited by Eric S. Raymond): 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP), known as Asia’s water tower, is quite sensitive to climate change, which is reflected by changes in hydrologic state variables such as lake water storage. Given the extremely limited ground observations on the TP due to the harsh environment and complex terrain, we exploited multiple altimetric mis- sions and Landsat satellite data to create high-temporal-resolution lake water level and storage change time series at weekly to monthly timescales for 52 large lakes (50 lakes larger than 150 km2 and 2 lakes larger than 100 km2) on the TP during 2000–2017. The data sets are available online at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.898411 (Li et al., 2019). With Landsat archives and altimetry data, we developed water levels from lake shoreline posi- tions (i.e., Landsat-derived water levels) that cover the study period and serve as an ideal reference for merging multisource lake water levels with systematic biases being removed.

It was, claimed Eric Shipton famously, “a veritable orgy of moun­ tain climbing.” In May 1935, Britain’s best mountaineers, including Shipton, longtime climbing partner Bill Tilman, plus 15 Sherpas, among them a 19-year-old novice, Tenzing Norgay, embarked from Darjeeling on the fourth-ever Mt. Everest expedition. In large part because no expedition book was later penned by Shipton, their 27-year-old leader, the 1935 Everest Reconnaissance Expedi­ tion has remained largely unknown and unlauded. No more! Seven decades later, The Forgotten Adventure reveals the never-before-told climbing adventures of three of the twentieth-century mountaineerings most revered icons reveling in the Himalayan glory of their youth.
