भारत के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने 5 नवंबर को ऐलान किया कि भारत की पहली पूरी तह स्वदेश में डिजाइन की गई और बनाई गई परमाणु पनडिब्बी आईएनएस अरिहंत ने हमले और घुसपैठ की आशंका रोकने के लिए अपनी पहली निवारक (डिटरंस) गश्त सफलतापूर्वक पूरी कर ली है। भारत की परमाणु स्थिति में इसके साथ ही अहम बढ़त मिल गई क्योंकि इससे परमाणु तिकड़ी पूरी तरह सक्रिय हो गई और देश शत्रुओं को रोकने के लिए भरोसेमंद परमाणु क्षमता हासिल करने के करीब पहुंच गया है।

January 9 , 2019 Jayadeva Ranade
Commentary Views: 2972
2019, which also heralds China’s ‘Year of the Boar’ from February 5, will probably be a difficult year for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership and for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has concentrated power unprecedented since the time of Mao Zedong. Domestic issues like slowing down of the economy and maintenance of stability will get further accentuated and be high priorities on the leadership’s agenda.
