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।

Situation in China in 2019
January 9 , 2019 Jayadeva Ranade
Commentary Views: 2990
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.

January 9 , 2019 Lt General S A Hasnain, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SM (Bar), VSM (Bar) (Retd.), Distinguished Fellow, VIF
Article Views: 19190
This article commences with a couple of presumptions about future scenarios. First, that in the predictable future there is likely to be no workable agreement with Pakistan on J&K and the issue is likely to continue with status quo. Pakistan will plan and cater to an optimization to stay ahead in the loop of baiting India and executing its actions within its perception of our limit of tolerance.
