पाकिस्तान की परमाणु भभकी
मौजूदा तस्वीर
14 फरवरी 2019 को जम्मू-कश्मीर राजमार्ग पर वाहनों की आवाजाही के लिहाज से साफ दिन था। लंबे अरसे तक सड़क बंद रहने के बाद राजमार्ग खोला गया था। सड़कों का बार-बार बंद होना देखकर सेना को जम्मू से वापस घाटी में लाने की जरूरत थी। आतंकी गुट जैश-ए-मोहम्मद के एक आतंकवादी ने विस्फोटकों से लदी कार लेकर केंद्रीय रिजर्व पुलिस बल (सीआरपीएफ) के काफिले में शामिल एक बस में टक्कर मार दी। टक्कर से हुए विस्फोट में 40 जवान शहीद हुए और कुछ बुरी तरह घायल हो गए।

Why Russia remains important for India?
India pursues an independent foreign policy. But given the pulls and pressures of geopolitical realities, it is not an easy task. There is often a tendency in India to focus on US and Japan while ignoring Russia. This will be counter-productive. India cannot ignore the fact that Russia remains, and will remain a pre-eminent nuclear and energy power and a permanent member of the United Nation’s Security Council, for a long time to come. India’s dependence on Russia for its defence and energy needs will continue well into the future.

US Sanctions, Iran’s Response and worsening Oil Situation
President Rouhani in a nationally televised speech on 8th May announced that Iran would not be temporarily performing some of its obligations under the nuclear deal or Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA). This is not withdrawal from the agreement. As Rouhani said, ‘This surgery is for saving the deal, not destroying it’. Iranian action came a year after President Trump announced US withdrawal from JCPOA, despite Iran maintaining its commitments under the nuclear accord as certified by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Recently, US also imposed additional measures.

European Biometric Identity Repository Project – National Security Trumps Privacy?
European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on 28 May 2018, after years of deliberations inside and outside the EU parliament, and in all major economies of the world. That global data flows contribute to global GDP, and data driven innovation (DDI) are critical to individual economies is well recognized. Several studies show that the AI adoption in countries will nearly double the GDP growth rate of advanced economies in 10-15 years. Much has been talked about the conflict between DDI and privacy violation of individuals, while GDPR was in the making.
