Made In India Weapons Get Recognition In Global Defence Market

Monomita NagMarch 7, 20220

India is striving to establish itself as a leading manufacturer of military weapons under Made in India brand. A total of 3 Indian military equipment producing companies have been included in the top global companies engaged in manufacturing military weapons. Therefore, it comes under a strategically important sector in India. The UAE defence ministry has finalized to purchase L- 15 training and light combat aircraft and it is reported that it also had an option of purchasing 36 planes from China later on. It is no doubt an effort of Emirati to diversify its purchasing options. But what came as a great setback to India is that UAE had shown strong interest in India's Tejas combat planes in 2018. Even India's Akash Sam system came in for great appreciation by the gulf country i...

Monomita NagFebruary 28, 20220

India's relations were nosedived after a violent border dispute with China.  Delhi's attitude naturally hardened and India started banning certain Chinese apps that were very popular but were found to be a security threat to the country. Besides 224 apps, that were banned last year including some very popular apps such as TikTok, We chat, Helo etc,  54 more apps have been additionally banned recently. But surprisingly, it is learned that many of these banned Chinese apps are still operating in India in new avatars.

Monomita NagFebruary 28, 20220

The military coup in February 2021 shattered the hopes for democracy and again brought Myanmar under military rule. Throughout its prolonged independence, the country never had any type of democratic reform. On the contrary, the country had to face military rule, civil war and acute poverty. Good governance could not be the priority of whoever ruled the country. In the wake of military's proxy party suffering a huge blow in the 2020 election it staged a coup in Feb 2021.

China Aims At Annexing Taiwan Taking Cue From Russia

Monomita NagFebruary 28, 20220

China has called Taiwan a renegade province. The island is separated from China by the Taiwan Strait. It has a population of around 23 million with its democratically elected govt. Since the election of Tsai Ing-wen in 2016 as the President of Taiwan, tension with mainland China has escalated. However, Tsai has outrightly rejected any increased tie with China as it was formulated by her predecessor Ma Ying-jeou. But China considers Taiwan as a part of the mainland and therefore refuses to accept it as an independent country. Of late, China has become aggressive towards the country. Experts fear that it may take steps to unify the island by means of military action, thus drawing the US into war with China. China asserts in one-China principle and does not believe in the existen...

Monomita NagFebruary 28, 20220

The Russia-Ukraine crisis will dent India's household budget. The first day of the conflict has already skyrocketed the fuel price. It will come as a setback to Indian consumers as Putin's military action will end the short respite in local fuel prices. It needs to be mentioned here that there has not been any hike in fuel prices since November.4 World diplomacy has failed to deter Putin from his plan of invading Ukraine. This will naturally soar up oil and gas prices putting pressure on India's oil-importing budget. Finance minister Nirmala Sitaraman warned that the global crude oil price hike will negatively affect India's financial stability. After attending the FSDC meeting she warned that the Centre was considering certain options to deal with the emerging situation. As ...

Monomita NagFebruary 23, 20220

The NASA Solar Orbiter satellite made history by capturing images of a massive solar eruption.

Such solar storms cause coronal mass ejections (CME) which can cause havoc on the earth. This orbiter was a joint mission between NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) and was launched in February 2020 and it began its operation in November 2021.

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

After banning 54 Chinese apps on the grounds of national security, India is now punishing a Singaporean Company, Sea group, making it lose 16 billion in a single day.

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

During Monsoon, incessant rain creates extreme flooding almost throughout Bangladesh, making it impossible for the children to go to school for a significant part of the year.

AAP Hits Ground For Poll Battle: Can Arvind Kejriwal Emerge As BJP Alternative Nationally?

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's AAP is in a poll battle in three states Punjab, Uttarkhand and Goa. Hence, this is perhaps his biggest effort to spread the footprints of his party in a couple of states. Can people see it as an alternative to BJP at the national level in future? There has been an abysmal fall of Congress and it has become a fringe player in almost all the states except a very few. As long as it is unable to bring to fore a popular and acceptable leader, it will continue to shrink further. Hence, Kejriwal can fill the vacuum if he can notch a success in the 2022 elections and he will be able to establish himself as a significant political force in the country. His success will give the message that the Opposition to BJP is a  young, agile leader. He is already ...
