परिचय
हाल ही में किर्गिजस्तान एक दशक में सर्वाधिक खराब राजनीतिक संकटों से गुजरा है। मौजूदा राजनीतिक विप्लव इसके पहले 2005 और 2010 में हुए लोकप्रिय क्रांतियों से जरा भी भिन्न नहीं था। 2005 में हुए “ट्यूलिप क्रांति” ने तब के राष्ट्रपति ऑस्कर अकायव को सत्ता से बेदखल कर दिया था जबकि 2010 की जून में संघर्ष के बाद हुई “मेलोन रिवॉल्यूशन”

भारत-अमेरिका के बीच 2 + 2 संवाद एक पूर्वनिर्धारित रक्षा संबंध की दरकार
December 2 , 2020 Lt Gen Anil Ahuja, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SM, VSM & BAR - Distinguished Fellow, VIF
Article Views: 2907
परिचय
भारत और अमेरिका के बीच 2 + 2 संवाद (26-27 अक्टूबर, 2020) की तीसरी श्रृंखला हाल ही में समाप्त हुई है, जो इस बात का संकेतक है कि दोनों देश प्रायः ‘इतिहास की हिचक’ कहे जाने वाले पछतावे के दौर से बाहर आने में कामयाब हुए हैं। अमेरिकी चुनाव से कुछ ही दिन पहले और लद्दाख में भारत के चीन से जारी प्रतिरोधों के बीच भारत-अमेरिकी संवाद के अंतर्निहित संकेत इस मौके पर जारी किए गए संयुक्त वक्तव्य में बखान की गई उपलब्धियों से कहीं बढ़कर हैं।

December 1 , 2020 Prof Hari Bansh Jha
Commentary Views: 3140

Whereas its impact was more lethal in some countries in terms of both morbidity and mortality; in others, its impact was less pronounced. A few countries were successful in controlling this pandemic due to the adoption of appropriate strategies, but many others suffered heavily as they failed to take effective measures to curb this.
