Coping up with problems.

In the course of becoming great,

Many people may turn to hate,

Many would like to create,

Hassles trying to detract you and make you late,

But remember those who hate,

Must motivate,

In fact, they are a crucial part of your life,

They are the ones who teach you how to withstand,

No matter how much problems are there up to the hilt,

To reach success' height,

You have to leave the ground and take the flight,

To climb the ladder of success,

Everyone has to pay a huge cess,

Because everything in itself is expensive,

And to attain success you have to be more determined and pensive,

But still the problems that appear in your way,

Are of great significance and have much to say,

These things must be regarded,

If you learn to handle them, one day you will be rewarded,

Your problems teach you how to thrive,

Your enemies teach you the way to strive,

So ask not for a life of ease,

Just say, "God, some more risks please."

Side-effects of media.

Its is said that the fourth pillar of democracy is “Media” and there is no skepticism at all that media plays a vital role in making people aware of the what’s happening in and around the world.

But as the aphorism says, “With great power, come great responsibility”  I believe that now media needs to understand it pretty well for a better future of the nation.

The first and foremost things that I would like to point out is that sometimes media coverage on terrorist attacks etc. done to increase the TRP have affected the nation pretty drastically. During the 26/11 attack media person were showing each and every aspect of the Taj Hotel and other places of assaults by terrorists, and the terrorists were able to see the reports of deployment of army, arrival of NSGs etc. and due to this the victims incurred huge loss, leading to a void in their life, which can never be filled again. Due to such excessive coverage, many lives were gone; many people were mowed down by merciless terrorists. Therefore I believe that now the government needs to take a stiff step against all such actions in order to stop the demonizing of this fourth pillar of democracy.
The other thing is that today, in Indian news industry, the custom of debates has taken up huge speed. Every singly news channel organizes debates on various topics (mostly political) and this in itself violated the basic fundamental principle of Media. The media is required to notify people about things not to impose its views of people. Debates on news channels are partial and discriminatory, some parties don’t even get a chance to speak on television and hence no debate is in itself complete. The second thing is that dog-cat fight between people in debates is nowadays used to increase the viewership of the media channels, such debates are also completely useless too. For eg. Recently in a new debate, I saw a Congress’ spokesperson accusing BJP of being a hypocrite by trying to fix a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and even condemned Mr. Modi for the same, when the next day no meeting took place, the same spokesperson said that Modi is doing it all wrong, SAARC can see no progress without Pakistan. Will such things be used to make people aware of the current events? I don’t think so. The last but not the lease thing in this respect is that today the news anchors also try to overpower the people from other parties. They start giving their own opinions and sum up with the same and hence the conclusion of the debate is also pretty discriminatory.

The next thing is many a times such debates lead to leaking of our internal policies to the outer world. For example, the government, till now has not said anything about the 40 Indian workers who were stranded in Iraq but yesterday a news channel aired a report that they have been killed. Can such moron acts be condoned for such a respected institution? Such detrimental things cast a huge shadow of vulnerability on our government’s policies and thinking and therefore such things must be banned.

Excessive use of anything is bad. Today the government of India, needs to make stiff plans and rules to limit the power of this important institution or it will wreak havoc on the nation itself.

LIVING LIFE.

Its an unwritten rule of life,


That whatever is born,


Must always die,


Whatever goes up,


Must always come down,


Whoever takes the flight,


Will one day come to the ground,


In this life time is limited; make haste,


Whatever you do for selfish means is in itself a waste,


Nothing in this world has ever lasted,


On everyone death has been casted,


To set up an example,


Even almighty lords left the land,


Even their incarnations had to leave humanity’s hand,


Avarice and greed are therefore bound to be dumped into the sand,


Therefore two things matter in life,


Your aims and virtues,


The goals you pursue,


Living life is living for others,


If life is fugacious,


Isn't it sagacious,


To give what you have to those who need,


Who are less privileged and less potent indeed,


You cannot take away your money and abode,


When you die and meet lord,


No matter how much rich you have been,


No matter how many good times you has seen,


If you don’t live your life for others,


In humanity’s clan you will be like an oblivious brother,


But even if you are a pauper,


But still if your acts are upright and proper,


The humanity might feel a void when you go,


When you die everyone around will bow,


Rather than dying accumulating wealth,


Maintain yourself and your health,


Do good unto others,


Share happiness and joy,


Life’s true synonym is “To enjoy”.

India and US-Renewed friendship

Just as new government sprang to power six months back, lots of things were destined to change and one of them is the whole of the course of action of Indian foreign policy.


After been freed from the shackles of British rule, the first Prime Minister of India Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru never got the nation assigned any side in the cold war but it was also not a hidden fact that India was a robust and stringent ally of USSR and afterwards Russia took the place of USSR in India’s foreign policy heart. Due to such proclivity of Pt. Nehru, USA was itself distance away from us and on the other hand some diplomatic failures of Pt. Nehru with former United States of America’s President John F. Kennedy deteriorated the further possibilities of better diplomatic relationships between the two nations. JFK even went ahead to describe his meeting with Nehru as the worst diplomatic meeting he had ever attained. Such things marred the relationships of both the nation while rapidly became cold and were left uncared for the upcoming 67 years.
But someone has rightly said that there is nothing permanent except change. Today Russia’s crisis with western heavyweights is day by day making it weak and due to the reluctance of its own Prime Minister and the world leaders to discuss the issues of Ukraine etc. the relationship between them has most probably reached a stalemate and the main thing is Russia is not USSR. India bonded with USSR for a mutually beneficial relationship and following our principles we still today share a mutually beneficial relationship with Russia. But in the advanced 21st century we can also not let our relationship with the United States go into the ditch.


US from the very beginning has been a world superpower exceeding all other nations in terms of everything, economy, military etc. But both the nations were never able to work with each other owning to the differences that were created before in the starting of post-independence area. But today I believe we can’t sit around and continue to watch others proceed further. Today India and America need each other excessively and as times have changed, India is also one of the world’s most remarkable nations, US must respect this relation too.


Mr. Modi’s decision to invite Mr. Obama as the Chief guest of the Republic day function must be lauded. Through Republic day function’s meetings surely, leaders from both the countries would get time to take their dialogue process further and the friendship between the leaders of the two nation which is a result of Modi’s previous visit to the United States can also add up to the virtues of these relations.


India and US can help each other humongously. India possesses what US years for and vice versa and if these two nations strike a perfect balance then no world power can ever hinder their progress.
The first thing is that recently Mr. Modi has launched the “Make in India” campaign which needs both workforce and investment. Today companies in United States have an excess of capital but a lack of workforce and space to carry out their function and India is certainly today the best place where all their requirements can be easily filled. Thereby ease of doing business is also being promoted in the nation which adds up to more accessibility of Indian soil to foreign companies and US recently had promised a $40 billion investment in India. The prospects of the two countries helping each other are amazing and can surely be wonderful.


The other thing is education sector. Today a large proportion of Indian students has been there in United States pursuing various studies and courses in world famous universities, if the relationship between both the nation strengthens then United States can surely make some crucial agreements with India in the education sector.
Talking about defence, today India is having one of the world’s biggest army and US is having world’s most advanced army, if these things combine with each other we would make world’s strongest army and I believe through mutual cooperation this is possible and if that happens then both the nations can surely help the world advance further.


Talking about science NASA of USA is world’s biggest space research organization, the first to send humans to moon but now India’s ISRO has also shocked the whole world with its exemplary Mangalyaan. If there is a better understanding between the two nations, the space agencies of both the countries can add up more to the scientific horizons of the two nations.


Today India and US need each other splendidly in all the facets of work, what we need is a just a better understanding between the two nations and I believe that can be possible in the coming future.

YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON.

No matter how many things are gone,

But you always need to move on,

Heartaches, pains may be prevalent,

In deluge may come malady and ailment,

In the course of being successful thousands of things may come or go,

But you have to subjugate them and make them bow,

No matter how much are you alone,

But you have to move on,

Time gone might never come back,

If you waste it, charm may sack,

You from its proprietors,

World will never count you among great creators,

But from the time you take your aim,

And go on to finish the game,

Things want happen to you,

Which may make you curious to pursue,

Your heart may be shattered,

Your life may be battered,

You may lose the loved ones,

But no matter how much you bemoan,

A day will come when you will be made to move on,

I ask you to move one not because I don’t want you to love or enjoy,

But because I want you to enjoy life’s greatest joy,

You need to hang on by fingernails,

To achieve success you have to set the daring sail,


So whenever you are in dilemma,

Imagine yourself becoming what you wanted,

Will that joy be greater than this,

What will give you more bliss?

Believe me heart never lies.

Elections in Jharkhand

The next state going to elections after Jammu and Kashmir if the state of Jharkhand.


With 82 assembly seats, the future course of the state lies in the hands of the denizens of the state. Parties to watch out for in the election is Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party.

Congress has a huge chance of being discarded away too in the upcoming elections of the state while on the other hand BJP and JMM share a tough competition, in which BJP is most like to win the election through the Modi wave.



But rather than discussing the winner of the state’s election I would like to discuss here some key issues which need to be taken into the notice of the people before voting.


The first and foremost thing is the Maoist activities in the state. The state of Jharkhand has been a grave victim of the terrorist activities for such a long time. Heavy attacks and bombardments have shaken the whole state’s belief in democracy and government completely. Every year, thousands of police officers are mowed down, many village men are abducted and high ranking officers are killed by these Maoists. Another major issue is Maoist abducting the young boys in the villages in order to recruit them to their army. All such things have exacerbated the situation aggrandizing the fear in the minds of people. Even when people go out to vote in the ballot, they are engulfed by the fear of Maoists who always threaten to stop the elections and of killing those who go to vote in the same. Despite of being world’s biggest democracy, India is facing such heart rending problem in the state which threatens to annihilate the whole of the democratic processes in the state hence the people of the state must keep in mind what the parties contesting the elections can actually do to check this problem and then only they should vote for the contesting parties.


One more issue which needs to be discussed with utter meticulousness in the economic progress of the state. The state has been receiving vitriolic criticism over the current standards of poverty in the state. Despite of having highly flourished cities like Jamshedpur, Bokaro and Dhanbad, about 40% of the state’s population fall below poverty line and more than half of the children below the age of three are badly malnourished. Due to tumultuous governments, Naxalism and inequitable distribution of resources, exploitation of tribesmen has led to huge destruction of the state and also into an increased population of poor people. This problem must be seriously dealt with in order to check the suffering of the people of the state.


The other thing is about the tribal groups in the state. The state of Jharkhand has a huge population of tribesmen but for a very long time, these people are being exploited for the vested interests of the governments and some scoundrels around there. Every party contesting elections talk at length about giving security, education and jobs to them but when it comes to doing the actual task, nobody wants to answer at all.


This time the state’s citizens need to vote for their self-respect, progress and well-being, the time has come when people reign the state rather than letting the politicians rule the same and I believe the denizens of the state would do it rightly.

J&K: The battleground.

Just as the polls come up in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand, parties are leaving no stone unturned in move ahead to clinch victory in the states. These elections surely mean a lot to every party contesting the election. For BJP, winning these states could mean it holds a lion’s share of people’s confidence while on the other hand Congress and other regional parties would fight for their mere existence.


In this blog I would discuss about the election ground of Jammu and Kashmir which has always been a heated debate for the whole nation.


J&K is not an ordinary state like other states of our nation. Its government and its land is accredited with special powers and the state has its own rules limiting the power of central government in the state. Geographically too, this is one of the most significant state in India’s foreign affairs with its boundaries connected with Pakistan which continuously threatens the state’s sovereignty.
Winning in this election, can only mean to be a matter for existence for regional parties and INC but still states means a lot much to BJP.



During recent times Pakistan has been breaking the ceasefire agreement, leading to firing from Pakistani side in the state which has terrified the people of the state. Moreover, intrusion of terrorists from the Pakistani side has also led to many blasts and attacks on the state’s security and now the people of the state have become completely fed up of such things and have left ever hope of ever observing a redux. The main task of the BJP here would be to control the terrorist activities in the state and to discuss the issue of state with Pakistan and being in center can also help the government’s plan of action.


The next thing would be of Kashmiri Pandits. These are the real inhibitors of the land of Kashmir but due to unworthy and merciless policies of previous governments they were ousted from their own place. During the election campaign PM. Narendra Modi promised to rehabilitate them into the state, now if BJP gets a government in state too, then it would be very much easy to execute this plan.
The other thing is the prevalent riots in the state. In the state of Jammu and Kashmir there is always a situation of riots and fights and as the previous governments were complete inefficient in putting a halt to all such things in state.


One more thing is the separatists and those who want the assimilation of Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan. As Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, no individual must be allowed to do anything that denigrates its integrity.


One more important thing is the curse of article 370 which prevents the state from being absorbed into the mainstream India. This article has led to huge problems in the state but other political parties just for their political gains; don’t want to get it discarded. BJP can surely work for this.


Hope that the right party for the state clinch the victory the state of Kashmir prosper.

Why Swacch Bharat mission can fail?

Sanitation and cleanliness are surely a society’s greatest priority. These are indeed the things that define a civilization. Even Mahatma Gandhi, father of the nation, averred that sanitation and cleanliness are even more crucial than a society’s independence and its individuals’ privacy.


Keeping all these things in mind and pondering over the current dismal standards of sanitation in the whole nation, Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi launched the “Swacch Bharat Mission” aimed at cleaning the whole nation and spreading awareness among people and stimulating others not to make their nation a filthy place. Swacch Bharat mission till now has garnered a lot of support and galvanized people into action. Many big politicians including our own Prime Minister went to various places cleaning the garbage or filth themselves; many big sports players and film stars came on street to do the same and to create awareness among the campaign.
But still the chances of the success of this campaign remain dramatically low. Though the campaign in itself has become a big name with school children, office employees etc. participating in the same but despite of this fact the program still needs to evolve a lot to fit to Indian standards.


One of the main reasons behind a probable failure of this campaign is encroachment. In today’s era, if you go to grassroot level and visit colonies or districts (even of big metropolitan areas) you could see that more than half of the area of the lane has been encroached by cars parked illegally. This leads to complete malfunction of the traffic there and the encroachment also leads to inefficaciousness in sanitation of the area, thereby making the lives of people there much more difficult.


The other thing is the reluctance of grass root level leaders to effect a change. When the campaign was started, MLAs, MPs rushed to their constituencies to make one or two arrangements in order to impress the government and the people but today, just as the popularity of the program is going down, these people are also shifting back to their previous disposition. These authorities are reluctant to make arrangements in their own area in order to institute complete cleanliness of the area.


One more thing to be noticed is the lax given by sanitation authorities to check the sanitation of the area. Workers here are much more indifferent towards filth and anything, and don’t even come on regular basis, the authorities show an attitude of complete apathy to all things, exaggerating the condition. Recently I visited a park and saw a small garbage bin. Just as I saw it, I also saw some waste dumped just adjacent to it and thought how much stupid are those people who did it, if our own PM can go and clean an area, can’t they people contribute that much; but just as I moved ahead out of the shades of trees, I noticed that the whole bin was replenished in garbage and that’s why those people had put their garbage there so that workers could easily take it out. This surely signifies two things. One that there is remarkable lax in the sanitation department and its workers and second is that people really want to change.


Some people really want to change and through these people the whole nation can be changed, we just need to put in our best efforts.

Greed of power.

Recently photos of Mamta Banerjee with some staunch Left party leaders convulsed Bengal and India too. One of the deadliest rivals in the contemporary Indian politics are meeting each other and that too with no drama and protests. Everyone can smell the rat and moreover the alliance of Nitish Yadav and Lalu Yadav, the ones who never even liked to see each other’s countenance, clearly signals that something is being made to rise in the Indian politics.


Recently, just as BJP smashed all other parties in the elections, Indian National Congress knew it was the termination of its era which would take more than 3 to four Lok Sabha terms for a complete redux while on the other hand, some heavyweight parties like BSP could not even bank on one constituency. Such things shook the political lobby of the nation completely and now with such a wonderful and powerful working style of the Indian prime minister it’s pretty sure that fighting upcoming elections with the BJP could prove to be nightmare. But greed can make a person do anything and hence a complete plan is being made to make a foundation like “Janata Party” comprising of anti-BJP parties.


Janata Party was a great party formed by the efforts of Jayprakash Narayan who asked all the non-Congress parties to team up to fight elections against Congress due to its bad deeds of announcing emergency in the nation but nowadays these political parties are using this name just to satiate their greed of power.


Amusingly the argument on which they base their case is that BJP is unsecular. Such a rubbish and baseless argument is enough and ample to portray the fear in their minds. Since the BJP has come to center, not even a single case of a mishandled riots has come out, and talking about secularism then BJP’s leader Mr. Narendra Modi was acquitted of all the charges and hence no one can blame him today for anything because the apex court of the nation has clearly said that Mr. Narendra Modi had no role in instigating a riot, but the congress leaders in the 1984 riots have still not been acquitted of their charges. Talking about other parties, Lalu Prasad Yadav is himself embroiled in fodder scam and can’t fight elections, Mamata Banerjee government’s malfunctioning, corruption and reluctance to do any good to state has also been revealed. The recent blast cases also clearly signaled the government’s vulnerability in dealing with such matters.


But still greed is greed and greed can make a person do anything even if it its against his own nation and these people have a sure greed of power and have never done anything good to the nation before. Now, if someone (Mr. Modi) wants to do good for the nation, these people just want to get him obstructed and hindered.

The seeds of distrust :India and China

Recently just 5 days back, as the birthday anniversary of one of the most dynamic political leaders ever born in the nation Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru passed away, this time topic of discussion was, “Who does Nehru belongs to?” Whether the contemporary Prime Minister of the nation Narendra Modi’s efforts to snatch away Indian National Congress’(INC’s) idols from it justified or not. But rather than focusing on that aspect of the 125th birth anniversary of the first prime minister of India, let’s focus on one of the main dilemma the engulfed him throughout his life and at last most probably also become the most fateful cause of his demise.


One of the most astonishing and intriguing facet of Nehru’s life deals with the People’s Republic of China. Though Nehru was enamored by the Chinese culture and civilizations but he was mainly torn apart between the option of trusting China or snubbing China,
Nehru’s first significant encounter with China took place at the World Congress of Oppressed People held in Brussels in the year 1927. The representatives and diplomats from Chinese side included wife of one of the founding fathers of China and also the first Chinese President Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching-ling, who greatly impressed Mr. Nehru and attracted his attention towards one of Indian neighbours, China.


Nehru started forming many views in his mind about China and always felt delights in improving the proximity of relations between India and China.  He frequently supported the Chinese combating the Japanese invaders and even started many assistance camps for the Chinese soldiers and even went on to initiate a complete medical mission to China which included famous Indian physician Dwarkanath Shantaram Kotnis.


But in 1947, the relationship which Nehru wanted to see as robust was shattered into pieces and never recovered. During the Asian-Relation conference in Delhi, the differences between the two nations became apparent on matters related to the sovereignty of Tibet. China launched a strong protest of this act of India and Chiang Kai-shek, former President of PRC, only agreed to send his delegation if there would be no discussion of Tibet’s status. Nehru assured the Chinese government that the same would be done but when Chinese delegation found a map depicting Tibet as a separate nation and a Tibetan flag installed with flags of other nations, the Chinese never trusted Nehru again. In 1949 also, when Kuomintang ambassador to New Delhi  told Chiang Kai-shek that Nehru might recognize the communist regime in China if China promulgates the prescription of Simla Agreement, but the Chinese President outrightly denied doing any such thing because of the lack of trust that had matured between the two nations till now.

The “Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai” was in itself based on inauthenticity, lack of trust and falsehood and that’s why could never soar up that the war of 1962 is still a clear proof of the prevalent distress between the two nations at that time. Though time is the greatest healer but still distrust is abundant between the two nations, hope that one day we could say, “Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai”.

India and Australia.

Recently Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to Australia for a high level diplomatic G20 talks but his visit was not just decimated by the ending of G20, Mr. Modi was from the very next day of closing of G-20 was on bilateral talks between the two nation.


Today, Australia and India are mainly connected by two things, cricket and food. In Australia, there is an uncanny craze among people for food. In Sydney only more than 200 Indian cuisine restaurants are there and butter chicken etc. dishes are the most favored ones in the Australian continent; the other thread that binds us with this nation is cricket. Cricket has always been a craze for both the nations and an unusual charm has always been there in the cricket tournaments of Australia and India.


But to scramble up the success ladder, we need to move past the cricket and cuisine to have some serious talks.


Contemporarily, India and Australia are standing on a platform where they need each other humongously. There is hardly any field where the two significant nations of the world can’t cooperation to get the best results out. In importing, exporting, gold, coal, education sector, everywhere both the nations want a partner like each other and that’s why this promising relationship surely holds the potential of reaching beyond cricket and curry.


These two nations are today, significant players in the world politics and hence need to be a good partner of each other too in order to improve their horizons in many other fields. If we go according to the current pattern, then you will notice that the bilateral trade which amounted for 4.3 billion Australian dollar reached the limit of 18.7 billion USD in the year 2010 and the trade can be hiked up to $40 billion till the end of the year 2016.


If we talk about the military sector, then too both the nations are helping each other tremendously. In year 2007, both conducted a joint naval exercise in the Indian Ocean termed Malabar 2007, while Australia is also supposed to soon lock a uranium selling agreement with India. Australia’s huge uranium reserved can be used on the Indian soil in order to produce more energy in India to help lighten up the lights of its citizens.


In the year 2009, it was calculated that there are around 3,90,894 person of Indian origin residing in Australia and if we count in them the NRIs etc. the figure would cross the half million mark. Owning to this, Australia is also a huge destination for Indian students. In every top universities of Australia, you can find Indian nationality included in the top three nationalities.


India can benefit much from Australia while on the other hand, Australia can benefit from India through its imports of coal, gold etc. from India and now with programs like Make in India, Australian investors can also come to India to invest and find the best workforce.


This relationship surely holds a lot of potential, what we need to do is to realize the potential and work according to that.

China and the world.

Recently in Brisbane, Australia, G20 summit was concluded amid huge diplomacies and meeting of world’s biggest economies, powers and heavyweights but one thing that was evident all over the summits was “evident animosity” between various nation.


Besides being at cross roads with Russia, after it’s acts against the western nations and the botched up Ukraine voting, United States of America left no stone unturned in demarcating out that Beijing is also not very much behind Russia, in following its ideology of being anti-western and intimidating towards its own neighbor.
During the meeting of the heads of states of United States and China during the 26th APEC summit, both the leaders appeared somehow reluctant and meeting was termed as “cold” by the international media and as far as I am concerned, United States has vented up their anger in Brisbane.


United States of America’s President Mr. Barack Obama commenting on the incredibly splendid progress that Asian economies have made in the past year quoted, “Yet alongside this dynamism there are genuine dangers that can undermine the progress.” “Disputes over territory-remote islands and rocky shoals – that threaten to spiral into confrontation”, he added.


Obama has correctly nudged the world that security orders must be based on alliance, not intimidation. Just as China started experiencing huge economic gains, it commenced threatening the world around, and this is pretty contrary to what great nations should do. Today China is in confrontations with so many other nations that almost the whole of the Asian continent is somehow dismay and vexed by it.


China is in territorial dispute with India over the line of border between the two nations. Its soldiers, often make intrusions inside the Indian line of control area and threaten the inhabitants near the border. Such techniques to signal its strength are surely outdated. What China wants to portray through all this is that China can do anything, it is omnipotent, but according to the world, these techniques are much more irrelevant in this 21st century which is being deemed as an epoch demanding complete alliance and no vendetta between nations.


China has also been antagonizing its relationship with Japan by exerting uncanny authority over the latter’s islands. The disputed islands of Senkaku/ Daikokuya have been a heated topic of debate between the Japanese and Chinese side.


Besides this, China’s unusual demand of acquiring complete ownership of South China Sea, one of the biggest sea link connecting various nations and also ameliorating trade around the world. For this too, China has made others its antagonist.


China’s relationship with Vietnam and the Philippines also touched complete nadir when China tried to attack their sovereignty at water thereby these two nations too stood against the threatening policies of China.


There is no denying in the fact that during the previous three to four decades, China has authentically portrayed the story of a rags to riches country. Today China ranks first in GDP (PPP), has world’s largest army, world’s biggest manufacturing hub; but notwithstanding such things, China is supposed to be helpful to the world rather than being an intimidating and threatening figure trying to challenge other nation’s security and integrity. Such practices must be completely banished from a country’s philosophy in this crucial era of cooperation among the nations.

Its good that China is advancing fast but still it has to adhere to some rules and regulations which proscribe intimidating others just because they are less powerful than you.

Today rather than being a thorn for world, China must aim at becoming a good friend to all and help this world out of crises like terrorism, climate change etc. or surely one day this nation too, will observe its downfall pretty early.

The New Cold War.

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is contemporarily world’s most powerful summit taking place over the planet and undoubtedly most divided too.           


APEC aims to promote the cause for free trade between the Asian countries and those surrounding the pacific region. This summit was beget in 1989, at a time when economies of both the nations Asian and Pacific were experiencing huge upliftments and pinnacles and this was seen as a crucial measure in order to deny any restrictions in trades and to formulate policies for smooth, free and harmonious trade between countries of these two nation.
Today, APEC consists of 21 Pacific Rim members accounting for 40% of the world’s population, 44% of World trade and 54% of the world’s GDP and hence this group comprises of world’s most powerful nations including United States of America, Russia and People’s Republic of China.


But this time this summit meant for more drama than big deals. The growing animosity between the big powers of the nation in this summit was obvious by the countenance of the heads of the states.


Today, world is on the brink of another cold war (but obviously of less significance from the previous one), where one side there is Russia and most probably China and on the other side there are western nation. After the Ukraine voting fiasco and the gunning down of a jet on Ukraine land by rebels (western nations deem Russia as the culpable one), the relations between the Western nations including France, USA, Germany and UK have been deteriorating at a pace faster than ever. The same thing was pretty much evident in the summit too. The cold handshakes between the leaders of the world and the lack of eye contact between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his USA counterpart Barack Obama made it obvious to the whole world that the rivalry between the two nations have not become oblivious till now.
The cold behaviour between the heads of the states of Unites States and China was also lucid to everyone around. During their meetings, Mr. Obama as well as his Chinese counterpart appear much more reluctant to talk more about anything special and hence their talks didn’t resulted in something extraordinary.


While besides this Mr. Obama hardly looked at Putin during his meetings. Both the leaders appeared as if they are sharing a vendetta (which they are really sharing) and as if they both have never known each other. They even didn't look at their eyes.


All this clearly gave the signals of polarization of the world. Once again the same situations are arising but fortunately possibilities of a cold war are pretty much dim but you never know.
