Nidhi Bahuguna 76 India Foundation Journal, November-December 2019 {1} EDITOR'S NOTE India Of Black Swans and Grey Rhinos Foundation Asia is a veritable cauldron of conflict. While the Af-Pak region continues to Journal remain the epicentre of terrorism, conflict in the Gulf now has increasingly worrying dimensions. Besides the Af-Pak region, South Asia appears more stable, but random acts of Islamic terrorism occasionally come to the fore, as in the case of the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka. In India, the overall security environment remains stable, with violence levels in the Northeastern region as also areas impacted by Left Vol. VII Wing Extremism dipping considerably. Kashmir appears stable after the abrogation Issue No.6 of Article 35A and some provisions of Article 370. Within the ASEAN countries, the Islamic State (Daesh) has made limited inroads into Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Terror groups are November-December increasingly decentralised, use sleeper cells and resort to lone-wolf attacks using 2019 social media and other forms of advanced technology in the process of recruitment, and pose what may be termed as “third-generation threats”. Further East, China continues to deal with its Uighur Muslim population in Xinjiang in a high handed fashion which may invite a future blowback. Tibet too is restive, though both Editor Xinjiang and Tibet are relatively stable as of now. China is also facing mass Maj Gen (Dr) Dhruv C Katoch protests in Hong Kong over some of its policies. The above violence levels are localised and are being contained by the respective governments. However, of deep concern is the happenings in the Gulf, Assistant Editor especially in respect of targeting of oil facilities. The war in Yemen has been B. Shruti Rao ongoing for a few years now, with the Saudi coalition forces trying to dislodge the Houthis who are backed by Iran. If the situation gets out of hand, it could lead to regional instability with the supply of oil becoming the critical determinant. The Saudi oil facilities were attacked by the Houthis (as claimed by them, though evidently, the Houthis would have been supported by external power). The attack crippled the Saudi oil supply by 50 per cent for over a month until the supply was Publisher eventually restored. The ferocity, suddenness and pinpoint accuracy of the attack led many to call it a Black Swan event, but a cursory analysis points otherwise. India Foundation Over the past two years, the Houthis have carried out over 18 attacks on Saudi New Delhi facilities and so an attack on Aramco should not have come as a surprise. It was thus a Grey Rhino event—one that could have been foreseen but was ignored. E-mail The danger signals are now all around us. Besides the attack on Aramco, [email protected] ships carrying oil have also been targeted. While regional conflicts can be Website contained, a conflict which results in the antagonists attacking each other’s oil www.indiafoundation.in facilities could be dangerous, especially if it leads to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. That would be disastrous for the Asian economies, especially for India and could spell the end of the much-heralded Asian century. for private circulation only {2}{2} India Foundation Journal, November-December 2019 FOCUS Resurgent ISIS and The Threat to South Asia Dr Adil Rasheed* hey scorched the snake, but could not kill Method in the Mayhem it!

  • Text and Texture of Clothing in Meetei Community: a Contextual Study
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 2, February 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell‟s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Text and Texture of Clothing in Meetei Community: A Contextual Study Yumnam Sapha Wangam Apanthoi M* Abstract: This paper is an effort to understand Meetei identity through the text and texture of clothing in ritual context. Meeteis are the majority ethnic group of Manipur, who are Mongoloid in origin. According to the Meetei belief system, they consider themselves as the descendents of Lord Pakhangba, the ruling deity of Manipur. Veneration towards Pakhangba and various beliefs and practices related with the Paphal cult have significantly manifested in the cultural and social spheres of Meetei identity. As part of the material culture, dress plays an important role in manifesting the symbolic representation of their relation with Pakhangba in their mundane life. Meetei cloths are deeply embedded with the socio-cultural meaning of the Meeteiness presented in their oral and verbal expressive behaviors. When seven individual groups merged into one community under the political dominance of Mangang/Ningthouja clan, traditional costume became an important agent in order to recognise the individual identity and the common Meetei identity. There are some cloths which have intricate design with various motifs, believed to be derived from the mark of Pakhangba’s body and are used in order to identify the age, sex, social status, and ethnic identity in ritual context.
