Looking back at the 25th, 50th I-Day anniversaries.. Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey

Bharat is celebrating the festival of liberation from colonial dependence. Amid this series of celebrations, while the journey of 75 years of independent Bharat will be evaluated, it is also natural to remember the constant struggle and sacrifice of more than four centuries to achieve it.

.

The national movement against this colonial slavery in Bharat was inspired by the spirit of swa, self, whose manifestation was churning the whole country in the form of a trilogy of swadharma, swaraj and swadeshi. As a result of the presence of saints and sages in the movement, spiritual consciousness was constantly flowing in the form of an undercurrent

The spirit of self, which has been in the soul of Bharat for ages, manifested itself with all its might, and these foreign powers had to face resistance at every step. These forces destroyed Bharat’s economic, social, cultural, and educational system; they also destroyed village self-reliance. It was a totalitarian invasion by foreign powers, which Bharat retaliated against in all spheres of life.

In Afghanistan, the limits of Indian power..Hare Krishna hare Krishna hare Krishna..

With the fall of Kandahar, Herat, Lashkar Gah, Ghazni, Pol-e-Alam, Mazar-e-Sharif, Jalalabad, and now, for all practical purposes if not officially, Kabul, to the Taliban, the writ of the Afghan government is over. On Sunday, the Taliban entered Kabul but didn’t immediately mount a military offensive. However, the message was clear and President Ashraf Ghani, along with his core team, left Kabul by the end of the day. There are isolated pockets of resistance all over, but the Taliban is set to take control, if the international community doesn’t intervene.

In hindsight, United States (US) president Joe Biden‘s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan and continue negotiating with the Taliban deeply impacted the Afghan society. This process not only legitimised the Taliban, but also bolstered its position in an extremely hierarchical, tribal society.

Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey...

From 1996 to 2001, when the Taliban controlled most of Afghanistan, some areas in the north such as Panjshir and Badakhshan province could stall the Taliban’s offensive. Their contiguity to Tajikistan ensured that the forces resisting the Taliban could be provided supplies from across the borders. However, in the current onslaught, not only did Badakhshan fall, all the border crossings with the sole exception of Torkham with Pakistan were captured by the Taliban. This not only enabled the Taliban to fill its coffers by taxing the movement of goods and personnel, but more significantly, it made the Afghan government dependent on supplies through Pakistan.

In the last few weeks, the Taliban has displayed its barbarity. They have shown that they do not believe in adhering to the assurances given by them during their talks in Doha and elsewhere. The Taliban is bound to an obscurantist ideology, which aims to create a puritanical Islamic Emirate, where women and minorities enjoy no rights. 

.

Those ignorant of the theological underpinning of the Taliban have long talked of creating a wedge between it and al-Qaeda which has always talked of waging jihad in the name of Amir-ul-Mu’minin, who was Mullah Omar earlier, and now, is Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban. Without the Taliban, al-Qaeda’s jihad would be theologically illegitimate.

.

Many in India are suggesting that the government deepen its engagement with the Taliban. However, irrespective of the carrots being offered, the Taliban is unlikely to move away from its basic medieval mindset. As Kabul falls, the preliminary aim of the Taliban to establish an Islamic Caliphate in Afghanistan is close to being met. This will fulfill another theological precondition of jihad (possession of territory) and will lead to a surge in recruitment to al-Qaeda, as was evident in the case of the Islamic State after the fall of Mosul. The emirate will become the hub for spreading violent jihadi ideology, and this jihad is unlikely to remain confined within the geographical frontiers of Afghanistan..

Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey. ..

After conquering Afghanistan, the foot soldiers of the Taliban will not start tilling the land. They will merely relocate to new battlefields to fight new wars. These could well be in India, which, according to them, is part of “Khorasan” — the arena of “end of time” battles. The fall of Kabul could also result in the surge of new jihadi recruits from India for other terror groups.

India should create an alliance with such countries. Remember, the Taliban won’t be friendly towards India, and will, sooner or later, pose a serious threat to India’s security.

Young Indians distrust China, Pakistan; rate pandemic, economy as big challenges ... Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey....

Foreign policy is considered the domain of the elite, and public opinion on international relations has rarely been documented in India. While there have been efforts to assess public opinion on foreign policy issues, they suffer from limitations due to scope, regularity, consistency, and methodology. There is a dearth of systematic data collection and analysis on how Indians feel about the government’s key foreign policy interventions, India’s relations with other countries, and major global developments.

Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey..

When the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) first conceptualised the foreign policy survey last year, it aimed to build on the existing strand of polling research in India. The idea was to bridge the gap between policymakers and the public. As India frames policies to respond to the geopolitical realities of the 21st century, it must ensure that its policies reflect the will of its citizens. Since around 60% of the population comprises the young, the survey assessed the opinion and perceptions of this demographic.

.

Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey...

In December 2020, the poll sampled 2,037 Indians aged 18-35 from 14 cities. It was administered in eight regional languages, and in English. The urban youth had a positive assessment of the conduct of the country’s foreign policy, with 72% of respondents rating it as either very good or good. While a majority supported the government policies on China, Pakistan and the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), the policy with the least support was the government’s withdrawal from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey Shri Radhey..

This demographic felt that the biggest foreign policy challenges facing India were the pandemic, terrorism, the border conflict with China, the climate crisis, and border conflict with Pakistan, in that order. The high ranking of the pandemic is a reflection of the current global health crisis. In terms of foreign policy goal setting, strengthening the Indian economy received the highest priority at 89%, perhaps an acknowledgment of how far the pandemic has adversely affected the economy..

The survey responses on China and Pakistan are illuminating on how young urban Indians view India’s neighbours. The respondents displayed low levels of trust towards Pakistan, with only 10% displaying positive trust ratings. On China, there is a high level of concern regarding its rise as a global power, its growing economic and military superiority, as well as Beijing’s possible interference in India’s neighbourhood. The survey also found that 62% were of the view that India should abandon non-alignment in case of rising US-China tensions.

The survey also found that 62% were of the view that India should abandon non-alignment in case of rising US-China tensions.

The urban youth displayed a high level of awareness for older multilateral institutions such as the United Nations (UN), and three of every four respondents (74%) felt that India’s quest for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council was a very important goal. Two-thirds of those surveyed said that they had not heard of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), surprising given that NAM is connected to India’s historical approach towards foreign policy.

.

This poll has given both predictable and unpredictable results, providing insights into the understanding of Indian youth on critical issues related to India’s foreign policy. This, and future editions of the survey, will help policymakers, academics, researchers —and the public itself — understand and appreciate the importance of democratising foreign policy in India.

Those who are devotees of the other gods and worship them with the faith actually worship only me. portion of the country but they do so in a wrong way.

The person who are engaged in the worship of the demigod or not vary intelligent.

All the search for sip of the offer to me indirectly.

Krishna says for example when a man puts water on a leaves and branches of the tree without using water on the boat he dies so without sufficient knowledge or without observing the regulative principles.

Similarly the process of the rendering services to the different parts of the body is supply food of the stomach and the demigods or so to the Ishq differently officer and the directorate in the Government of the supreme lord and has to follow the laws made by the government.

Similarly in the process of the rendering service to the different part of the body is to supply food to the stomach.

The demigod or so to speak different officers and director in the government to the supreme round one has to follow the laws made by the government not by the officer or directors.

Similarly everyone is to offer his.

That will automatically is satisfied that different officers and directors of the Lord.

the officers and directors or engaged as representative of the Government and to offer the sum drive to the officer and director illegal.

This is stated here as the advisory in the word of the other Krishna does not approve the unnecessary worship of the demigod.

But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion meditation on my transcendental form to them I carry what they lack and I preserve what they have...

One who is enable to live for a moment without Krishna consciousness cannot be think of the Krishna 24 hour a day bingham guest in the devotional service by hearing chanting remembering offering prayer worship in serving the Lotus feet of the lord rendering other services cultivating friendships and surrounding full of Lord.

Such activities or all special and full of The spiritual potentials.

Which make the development perfect in self realisation so that his only desire is to achieve the associations of the supreme personality of godhead.

Search a devotee undoubtedly approaches the lord without difficulties.

This is called yoga by the mercy of the Lord.

Such a devotee never comes back to his material condition of life.

Krishna refers to the merciful protection of the lord the lord helps the devoted to achieve the Krishna consciousness by joga and when he became fully question upon the Lord protect him from the falling down to measurable condition of life.

Regardless of season or size, Singapore-India ties remain robust at 56

August is a special month for Singapore. We celebrate two important occasions on August 8 and 9 — the establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1967, and the independence of modern Singapore in 1965, respectively. 

August also holds special meaning for India. On August 15, 1947, India emerged from British rule to become an independent country. While nation-building is a never ending task, both Singaporeans and Indians have much to be proud of. Our two nations have built multi-racial, multi-religious societies based on equality and the rule of law. 

India is a longstanding friend of Singapore and was one of the first countries to recognise our independence. The historical, literary, cultural and economic ties go back many centuries. Many Singaporeans have family ties in India. When Covid-19 first hit last year, India supported Singapore by keeping the supply chains of essential goods open. India subsequently found itself confronting the second wave, and I am glad that Singapore could reciprocate with our modest contribution of oxygen-related supplies. 

Singapore and India are natural partners. We must continue with this spirit of collaboration as we navigate a pathway out of the pandemic and re-emerge stronger.

Bilaterally, we enjoy close partnership in the economic, security, and people-to-people domains, including on skills and urban development. Singapore has been India’s largest source of foreign direct investment for three consecutive years, averaging $16 billion in total equity inflows annually. We are further deepening our partnership in areas that will become even more salient in the post-pandemic world — fintech, innovation and skills, and digital connectivity..

Our bilateral efforts in these areas can also be a pathfinder for others in the region. For example, Singapore is looking into expanding our Business sans Borders (BSB) initiative beyond our pilot partners of India and the Philippines, to all 10 ASEAN member-states. When complete, the BSB initiative will enhance regional economic growth and increase financial inclusion in our local communities. 

.

We welcome India’s continued engagement with ASEAN, anchored by India’s “Act East” policy unveiled in 2014 by Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi. Singapore has always been one of the earliest and strongest proponents of closer ASEAN-India ties. We believe that the growth and opening up of India will contribute greatly to peace, prosperity, and stability in our region. The evolving regional architecture will be stronger and enhanced by India’s active participation.
