Xi Jinping leaves contentious issues unresolved, China-India border tension remains ASHOK B SHARMA*   The face-off between Indian and Chinese troops at the line of actual control (LAC) in Ladakh has been averted. Thanks to efforts of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her counterpart Wang Yi at the margins of the UN General Assembly. The Chinese troops have begun withdrawing from Chumar in Ladakh following the flag meeting between the two sides. The Indian side has agreed to dismantle its observation posts in the area, while the Chinese agreed to discontinue the construction of a road there. Around 750 Chinese troops began incursions into Indian territory about a fortnight ago and remained there even Chinese President Xi Jinping was on a visit to India. During last year’s Depsang plain stand-off, the Chinese had demanded that India dismantle its positions at Chumar. The Chinese game plan of repeated incursions and  rhetoric of “regional war” came out ...

Betwe en Abe and Abbot t, Modi has his way From:  Ashok B Sharma <ashokbsharma@gmail.com>   Mon, 29 Sep '14 8:26p To:  You  and  others 1 attachment ashokbsharma2.jpg 492.22 KB Download Between Abe and Abbott, Modi has his way ASHOK B SHARMA*   Australia and Japan are two important players in the Indo-Pacific region, the main geo-political global theatre. Modi has won over Japan through his civilisational diplomacy and Australia through civil nuclear cooperation. The civil nuclear energy deal matters to an energy starved India. Though a deal of this nature could not be signed during the recent visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Japan, a similar pact was waiting to be signed in the country on his return; thus the deal during the visit of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Australia will now be a long-term uranium supplier to India. Australia will also cooperate in the production of ra...

Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cordially invites you to a  Public Lecture (in the ‘Science, Society and Nature’ series) at  3.00 pm on Wednesday , 1 st  October, 2014 in the Seminar Room, First Floor, Library Building on ‘Historicizing Climate Change: Or, what could climate change history be?’ by Prof. Sverker Sorlin, KTH/the Royal Institute of Technology, ABE, Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment, Stockholm, Sweden. Abstract: There has been a revolution in knowledge about climate change in the past couple of decades. The same is true for our knowledge of the history of climate change. We have had a broad range of books and papers mostly in environmental and science history that have made us understand the chronology and the context of the science that has brought us to our current understanding. However, given the pervasive nature and complex politics of the issue, wouldn’t it be useful to con...

Khushbir gets silver in 20km race walk with record Updated on : 28-09-2014 01:53 PM Khushbir Kaur on Sunday became the first Indian woman to clinch a 20km Race Walk silver medal in the Asian Games by bettering her personal best and setting a new national record in the process. The 21-year-old from Amritsar clocked 1:33:07 to improve on her previous personal best of 1:33:37, which was also the national record, to finish second at the Marathon Course here. Khushbir was a little over two minutes behind behind gold-medallist Lu Xiuzhi of China, who clocked 1:31:06.  The Indian was consistently third till the 18km mark before going up a position in the final two kilometres, thanks largely to the slowing down of second-placed Chinese Nie Jingjing, who eventually finished fourth.  The bronze medal went to local favourite Jeon Yeongeun, who also clocked a personal best of 1:33:18.  This is the biggest triumph of Khushbir's nascent career after th...
