The Dcommander there felt the need to ensure that the existing Agreements and Treaties between India and China are abided by in letter and spirit. The Chinese road makers were stoutly confronted by this courageous sub-unit of soldiers who stood up to stop any construction in the territory that belonged to Bhutan – despite the Chinese vehemently continuing to claim otherwise. This uncomplicated straightforward DOKLAM military stance taken by India troops has acquired such import that it now signals to the region and the world India at an Inflection Point in its Quest of the time when India transcends into the realm of a for Regional/Global Power Status “great power” to be reckoned with. What India has done displays the Governments ‘steely’ WILL to pursue what it believes and knows is right. Diplomacy, under the sterling leadership of the Minister, has been forthright and firm. Her iteration in the Lok Sabha adequately indicates the sagacity of the government’s actions: “War is not a solution to anything. Even after war, there has to be a dialogue. So, have dialogue without a war... Patience, control on comments and diplomacy can resolve problems,” the minister said. “If patience is lost, there can be provocation on the other side. We will keep patience China has been aggressively to resolve the issue, we will keep engaging with China to persistent in its efforts to make resolve the dispute.” strategic inroads in India’s The Chinese, on their part, have let loose a vitriolic diatribe through their state controlled media showing immediate neighbourhood, themselves in poor light. The world has been watching resulting in India being left with and all of China’s neighbours and supporters around the a constricted space to exercise world must have concluded that in future they should not expect a fair deal from a ‘rising China’ which is given to its influence. such vituperative bluster. It is unworthy to even bother or recount the didactic statements made in the process and that too in the most patronizing tones. In fact, these could be compiled to illustrate the poorest examples of diplomacy and conduct of international relations at all institutions and universities highlighting this aspect of how diplomacy should NEVER be conducted by mature nations. India’s maturity stood out in that it did not choose to reciprocate under the Hammurabi principle of ‘an eye for an eye’ to what was being churned out daily in the Chinese media and by the statements of the spokespersons of the Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs. It stood firm on the ground for dialogue. China’s needling continued by provocative intrusions in Barahoti in Uttrakhand sector and Pangong Tso in Ladakh sector. It has even raised a bogus dispute with regard to the western tri- junction of India-Tibet-Nepal. In fact, China contends all tri-junctions along India’s northern boundary: India-Tibet-Myanmar in the Lohit sector of Arunachal Pradesh; Eastern tri-junction of India-Tibet-Bhutan in the Tawang sector; Batang La in the Eastern Sikkim (Doklam); Finger in North Sikkim not far from the Eastern FROM THE EDITOR 32.3-Jul/Sep ‘17 INDIAN DEFENCE REVIEW 3 tri-junction of India-Tibet-Nepal; and now the Western tri-junction of India-Tibet-Nepal in the Kalapani- Lipulekh sector. Capacity and capability building do not, by themselves, constitute a tangible threat. Judging the ‘intention’ of a nation gives the necessary fillip to any notion of a threat. From the above, China’s intentions do indicate a ‘real threat’ to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India. It would be appropriate to say here that the Indian policy of ‘Act East’ has been given flesh by India coming to the aid of Bhutan in Doklam. Earlier, Indian diplomacy had compelled Sri Lanka to modify the terms of its lease of the Hambantota Port with China. However, rash statements by China that if India can come to the aid of Bhutan in Doklam, China can also come to the aid of Pakistan in Kashmir cannot be dismissed as a As a matter of fact by their casual analogy. In the first instance the whole of Jammu claim China has willy-nilly Kashmir and Ladakh is Indian territory and China needs to clear its mistaken notion of it being Pakistani territory. increased the length of the LAC Pakistan, through armed action by irregulars, had come by around 20 km (Batang La- to illegally control a portion of Jammu, Kashmir and Gamochen) and that is a major Ladakh which does not make it Pakistani territory. China Pakistan Economic Corridor passing through the alteration of the status quo. Gilgit-Baltistan region of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is a violation of Indian sovereignty. So any intervention to assist Pakistan in Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh will be a direct assault on India’s sovereignty. China has been aggressively persistent in its efforts to make strategic inroads in India’s immediate neighbourhood, resulting in India being left with a constricted space to exercise its influence. On the other hand, India has seemingly displayed casualness or may be reticence in doing the same in China’s immediate neighbourhood. This reticence, arguably, stemmed from the lack of confidence in India’s own abilities and India’s obsessive and at times, it’s overly debilitating focus on domestic politics. It is also true that often the smaller countries play ‘hard to get’ to extract the most out of these two large countries contenting for influence. Creditably, today it is the same crop of diplomats doing a stupendous job in building India’s image as a staunch ally in the region. Probably it just required political will, vision and strong leadership at the helm to bring about this transformation.

    Israel’s drone wars: An update ‘Precise’ strikes: Fractured Bodies, Fractured Lives Front Cover image: Israel’s Heron TP drone at Tel Nof Air Force base, February 2010. Credit: UPI/Debbie Hill. Note: The term ‘drone’ is used interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ Drone Wars UK is a small British NGO established in 2010 to undertake research and advocacy around the use of armed drones. We believe that the growing use of remotely-controlled, armed unmanned systems is encouraging and enabling a lowering of the threshold for the use of lethal force as well as eroding well established human rights norms. While some argue that the technology itself is neutral, we believe that drones are a danger to global peace and security. We have seen over the past decade that once these systems are in the armoury, the temptation to use them becomes great, even beyond the constraints of international law. As more countries develop or acquire this technology, the danger to global peace and security grows.

  • An Investigation Into the Openings Used by Top 100 Chess Players
    ISSN:1306-3111 e-Journal of New World Sciences Academy 2007, Volume: 2, Number: 2 Article Number: B0001 HEALTH SCIENCES ENGLISH (Abstract: TURKISH) Ramiz Arabacı Received: January 2007 University of Uludag Accepted: April 2007 [email protected] 0H © 2007 www.newwsa.com Bursa-Türkiye AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE OPENINGS USED BY TOP 100 CHESS PLAYERS ABSTRACT The aim of study is an investigation into the openings used by top 100 chess players. The chess games (n=2046) that 70 players, who took part in Top 100 list, played during January-April 2006 period were examined. The frequencies and percentages of the openings used were calculated. Separating the chess players into five different age groups, the frequency values and percentages of the openings they used, and the winning, defeating, and drawing were calculated using the Chi-Square Test and evaluated statistically. In conclusion, it can be claimed that Top 100 players prefer Semi-Open Games most; the winning, defeating, and drawing percentages change depending on the increasing age and the kinds of openings played; and the best opening is Caro-Kann for Whites, French Defence for Blacks, and Petrof’s Defence for a draw.

  • Israel's Arms Sales to India: Bedrock of a Strategic Partnership
    27 August 2019 WWW.DHYEYAIAS.COM Download The Gist of ORF (Observer Research Foundation) Occasional Papers: Israel’s Arms Sales to India: Bedrock of A Strategic Partnership A paradigm shift in India-Israel ties came in July 2017 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi went on a state visit to Israel, becoming the first Indian prime minister to do so. The two countries have since elevated their ties to a strategic partnership; a pillar of this relationship is defence. Such is a function of their respective national interests: India’s long-sought goals of military modernisation, and Israel’s comparative advantage in commercialising its arms industries. Although the ambit of India-Israel defence cooperation has widened more recently, Israeli arms sales to India continue to be the cornerstone. This brief surveys the arms trade between the two countries in the last decade (2009-2018) and underlines the applicability of imported defence technology from Israel. Introduction Bilateral relations between India and Israel today stand at a unique juncture. The paradigm shift occurred two years ago, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July 2017 became the first Indian PM to embark on a state visit to Israel and the two countries elevated their ties to a strategic partnership. In January 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reciprocated the signal with a visit to New Delhi. It is clear that both New Delhi and Tel Aviv are according priority to strengthening bilateral ties, a pillar of which is defence. This is driven by their respective national interests—i.e., India’s long-sought goals of military modernisation, and Israel’s comparative advantage in commercialising its arms industries.
