    SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2020 (PAGE 4) SPORTS A Dream Indian Cricket Team Sunil Fernandes The advent of limited-over cricket from the 1970s has irrevocably changed the way the game is played. With all fixtures locked down, one cricket fan lets his mind wander to what might have been. Vasant Raji, India’s oldest first-class cricketer, passed away recently. He was 100 years old. His passing, perhaps, is a time for cricket to remember and cele- brate some of the other great stalwarts of Indian test cricket too – especially when the coronavirus pandemic has meant no sporting events can take place. India played its ever first ever test match at the historic Lords Cricket Ground in 1932 against England. Forty-two years later, in 1974, India played its first ever limited-over international, also in England.

Within international law, no specific law regulates the state’s authority to establish ADIZ nor explicitly prohibits them to set their own ADIZ. Consequently, it is through states own various interpretations of provisions within international law that states have based their authority to determine its ADIZ. Following the practice of other states, Indonesia has also established ADIZ as part of Indonesia’s air defense system to enforce the sovereignty of the State and law over airspace. The Indonesian ADIZ is the airspace covering of a small portion of South Sumatra, Java and Madura, Bali, Lombok and a fraction of the western part of Sumbawa Island. A closer look to Indonesia’s ADIZ reveals that the zone is still within Indonesia’s national territorial airspace. Notably, this is contrary to several states practice in establishing its own ADIZ whose zone is outside its national airspace.

  • Menelusuri Jejak Awal Penerbangan Di Indonesia (1913-1950-An)
    MENELUSURI JEJAK AWAL PENERBANGAN DI INDONESIA (1913-1950-AN) Dadan Adi Kurniawan Program Studi Pendidikan Sejarah Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta [email protected] Abstrak Minimnya narasi tentang kiprah penerbangan di masa lalu menjadikan pemahaman sejarah terkait moda transportasi seakan pincang. Kebanyakan kajian masih berkutat pada sejarah transportasi darat dan laut, terutama masa kolonial. Padahal keunggulannya dalam menempuh berbagai medan jarak jauh, menjadikan transportasi udara sebagai salah satu primadona pilihan masyarakat modern dalam bermobilitas. Tulisan ini menelusuri lebih lanjut jejak kemunculan dan perkembangan awal penerbangan sipil-militer di Indonesia. Sejak kapan penerbangan mulai ada, faktor apa saja yang melatarbelakangi kemunculannya dan bagaimana dinamika awal perkembangannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah kritis dinama penulis memadukan sumber primer maupun sekunder yang relevan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerbangan pertama di Indonesia telah ada sejak dekade kedua abad 20 dan mulai berkembang pesat pada periode 1950-an. Pada awalnya, penerbangan difungsikan untuk keperluan militer disusul penerbangan komersial dalam jumlah terbatas. Kemajuan teknologi di Barat dan persaingan global (perang) saat itu menyebabkan dunia penerbangan mencapai akselerasi kemajuan yang lebih cepat. Kata Kunci: transportasi, bandara, penerbangan, militer, komersial. Abstract The lack of narratives about the gait of flight in the past has made understanding history related to transportation modes as if limping. Most studies still dwell on the history of land and sea transportation, especially the colonial period. Though its superiority in taking various long-distance terrain, making air transportation one of the excellent choices of modern society in mobility. This paper explores further the traces of the emergence and early development of civil- military flight in Indonesia.

October 2013 Abstract How democratisation affects a state's foreign policy is a relatively neglected problem in International Relations. In Indonesia's case, there is a limited, but growing, body of literature examining the country's foreign policy in the post- authoritarian context. Yet this scholarship has tended to focus on the role of Indonesia's legislature and civil society organisations as newly-empowered foreign policy actors. Scholars of Southeast Asian politics, meanwhile, have concentrated on the effects of Indonesia's democratisation on regional integration and, in particular, on ASEAN cohesion and its traditional sovereignty-based norms. For the most part, the literature has completely ignored the effects of democratisation on Indonesia's foreign ministry – the principal institutional actor responsible for foreign policy formulation and conduct of Indonesia's diplomacy. Moreover, the effect of Indonesia's democratic transition on key bilateral relationships has received sparse treatment in the literature.

  • The Royal Thomian Derby (Or the Royal Thomian Match) by Renu Manamendra (Life Member - Royal College Union and the Group of '76)
    The Royal Thomian Derby (Or the Royal Thomian Match) by Renu Manamendra (Life Member - Royal College Union and the Group of '76) Reproduced from the Daily News The most looked forward to sporting and social event in the Calendar of present and past students of the two most renowned high schools in Sri Lanka, the Royal versus S. Thomas' Cricket Match, is played over 3 days in the month of March in the city of Colombo. S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia, a private Anglican school has about 2,500 boys on roll, while Royal college Colombo, a government-run non-denominational school accommodates approximately 8,000, making it the largest school in the country. Origins of School Cricket in Ceylon The early origins of S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia date ba ck to 1851 when it was located in Mutwal, Colombo. It is the first Ceylonese school to play cricket - beginning 1864 against the Small Pass Cricket Club in Colombo. This is also the first recorded instance of a cricket match between two Ceylonese teams pla yed in Ceylon. S. Thomas' was represented in this historic match by G. A. Edward, W. De. Livera, K. Banda, S. H. Pereira, L. Sepion, B. A. Senanayake, C. de Silva, L. T. Nolan, E. de Hoedt, H. M. Fernando and A. Perera. As there was no other school playin g cricket at the time, from 1864 to 1877, S. Thomas' played against the clubs and other teams that were in existence in Colombo, Negombo and Kalutara, including the elitist European dominated Colombo Cricket Club.
