Israel's Expanding War in the Middle East

After Lebanon, the region faces the unyielding belligerence of one nation.

The New Cold War

This is where he coined the phrase "Cold War" when he referred to, "the kind of worldview, the kind of beliefs, and the social structure that would probably prevail in a state which was at once unconquerable and in a permanent state of 'cold war' with its neighbours". Not long after that, US President Harry S. Truman, who had approved the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, announced what became known as the Truman doctrine. On March 12, 1947, addressing a joint session of Congress, Truman clarified that "it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures". He was advocating US support for Greece and Turkey after Great Britain's refusal to provide financial aid to these countries. He feared these countries may be taken over by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) if America did not provide support. If "those two key states should fall, communism would likely spread south to Iran and as far east as India." He explained how Germany and Japan's intransigence "to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations" was a fundamental issue in the Second World War.

China by Saroj Kumar Rath, Fontain Ink Jul 25, 2023 https://fountainink.in/essay/china-in-xi039s-image It was all set to become a new era of better, brighter and more disciplined, for the world's fastest rising superpower, when Xi JinPing became general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), on November 14, 2012. It made him the de facto head of state as well. The "exceptionally ambitious", confident and focused Xi was expected to take to ever greater heights. Today, the picture of the new China is far different from expectations. The property sector collapse, tighter controls on the economy, the travails of COVID-19, the introduction of a surveillance state, have combined to produce an economy that is struggling to rediscover the vital spark and a state that is defined by an inexplicable aggression towards all. Given the distribution of political power, failure will ultimately be laid at the door of the supreme leader. And Xi is exactly that. After taking the mantle of general secretary of the CPC, he also became chairman of the Central Military Commission. A few months later, on March 14, 2013, he was formally elected President of the People's Republic of China. He is Numero

The Development of Terrorism and Terrorist Organizations in Pakistan

Annual Review of Criminology, 2023

While interstate conflict and the danger of war around the world are reducing, the threat of terrorism perpetrated by extremist groups and aided and abetted by state agencies are increasing. During the two-decade-long history of 21 st century, no war was fought by rivaling states. The theater of wars during the 21 st century, which confined in Iraq (although the war in Iraq was an error of US policy) and Afghanistan, were a product of extremist groups and individuals' excesses. Despite the realization of the threat of terrorism by the international community, the frequency of such incidence refuses to reduce. A good number of attacks ingenuously planned by the terrorists have been detected and neutralized by the security forces of America, British and Middle East countries. South Asian countries are not so lucky and facing attacks on daily basis. The bitter truth is nearly all terror plots across the globe are having a Pakistani footprint. Pakistan's policy of aiding and abetting terrorism has outlasted its utility and now posing a security threat to the world. The development of terrorism in Pakistan has a long and less known convoluted history. Facts and background about Pakistan's most prominent terror organization the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is very important to initiate remedial policy, has never been scrutinized by the intelligence agencies or the academia. The present study will make an earnest effort to answer some of the most intricate questions surrounding LeT and about the development of terrorism in Pakistan.

Number of scientists and intelligence agencies across the world believed that the virus was unnatural and leaked from the WVL and therefore they remained glued to the lab to trace the truth affiliated with the origin of the virus. However, classified documents from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) revealed that, Wuhan was a calculated bogey and a strategic subterfuge employed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to deflect the world’s attention from its biological weapons research and military use of bioweapons.

Modi's clinical understanding about the step to lock 1.3 billion people left no room for ambiguity. He knew that 80 percent of India's 470 million workers are in the informal sector and therefore, the PM said 'No doubt this lockdown will entail an economic cost for the country, but saving the life of each and every Indian is the first priority for me' and 'if we are not able to manage the next 21 days, then many families will be destroyed forever.' His words proved prophetic a year later in April-May 2021 when the killer second wave struck India and honouring the federal structure of India and appreciating the opinions of critics, Modi did not impose countrywide lockdown.

Within the span of two decades, in 2010, suddenly his stature equaled with that of Osama bin Laden and Ayaman al Zawahiri of al Qaeda. His meteoric rise was subscribed much to a fabled untested tale than to any empirical analysis or academic scrutiny. Empirical research about Kashmiri and the groups with which he was associated tells a different story altogether. Many claims about Kashmiri’s activities were proved to be figment of imagination and creation of an overweening media. Nevertheless, the irony about Kashmiri is that he was both a petty militant foot soldier and a legendary militant leader. His complicated shift from obscurity to extraordinary is the focus of this study. The study also deals with the historical root and inter-personal relations amongst the militant groups like HuJI, HuA, HuM, JeM and Brigade 313. Ilyas Kashmiri was probably the only militant of world repute who was not only associated with a myriad number of militant organizations but also led a host of them. His effortless capacity to be associated with, and his matchless calibre to handle or lead militant organizations like the HuJI, HuA, HuM, JeM, Brigade 313 and al Qaeda confabulates avid observers of militants.

With its 365 million Pakistani Rupee (US $5.2 million) annual expenditure, the LeT is rivalling al Qaeda. LeT’s spread during the past 25 years of its existence is horizontal. Its tentacles are penetrated across South Asia, Middle East, Australia and many Western countries. Running such a huge organization required constant inflow of resources and an uninterrupted supply of hard currency. Surprisingly, despite being a terrorist organization, the LeT’s donors never find problem to transfer money through legal routes like cheques and online transfer. This article analyzes two principal aspects of LeT’s financial network. Firstly, the article looks into the giant size of the organization and its financial requirement. Secondly, it analyzes the financial inflow and management of LeT and its growing capacity to handle international funding.

An Empirical Analysis of Islamic Extremism in North East India

A less known fact about Assam is, it is the only province, among the Indian provinces, which successfully defeated Islamic invasion throughout the Islamic rule in India. Surprisingly, Islam made its rampant entry into the province during the Christian-led East India Company and British Crown rule in India. It was the time when British took full control of Assam. Exponential population growth among the adherents of Islam coupled with unrestricted influx of migrants from the neighbouring areas changed the demographic composition of Assam. The growth of Muslim population particularly since the turn of 20th century directly pitted the community against the ancient local Assamese culture. The infighting, when aided by outside powers, soon received a transnational character where global Islamic extremists
opened contact with Assamese Muslims and started guiding on how to protect Islam and establish a model Islamic State in the region. Two issues would be dealt in this paper. Firstly, the paper would make an empirical analysis on how Islamic extremism permeates into the Northeastern India and secondly, the research would scrutinize linear contributing factors responsible for the growth and thriving of extremism in the region with special focus on Pakistan’s motivation to take over Assam and support armed groups.
