It was first estimated that India would retreat to Britain by 2020. But due to the breakage this year, the British economy got a lot of money. Pound drowned. India's growth rate remained steady and it reached number six.

According to the report, in the year 2017, the British economy will face a lot of difficulties. The pace of economic growth will drop from 1.8 per cent to 1.1 per cent. The Indian economy's growth rate is estimated to be 6 to 8 percent. In the case of GDP, India may have gone ahead of Britain, but the country is far behind in per capita income.

India is ahead of America, China, Japan, Germany and France. Forbes gave credit for this economic development to economic reforms made in 1991.

He made the Indian market competitive and opened it to international companies. Later, the Vajpayee Government and then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made these improvements forward.

More than half of India's population is under 35 years of age. China and other developed countries are battling the problem of aging populations. It is estimated that India will leave Japan, Germany and France behind 2022 due to huge human resources.

Will North Korea Go Nuclear?

The tension between USA and North Korea is increasing day by day.

The Trump Administration says it will tighten financial sanctions against Pyongyang, and Kim Jong will activate the missile defense system with the aim of curbing its nuclear weapons programs and ballistic missile tests.

North Korea has decided to conduct further missile and nuclear tests.

This situation has raised many questions.

What will be the effect of stopping economic sanctions on North Korea?

Although there are wide restrictions against North Korea but they are not implemented effectively. A recent study by the United Nations found that parts of North Korea's missile tests revealed that its electronic source is connected to China's industry.

Therefore, China can do a lot to enforce the special restrictions of the missile, as well as to make economic pressure on Korea.The problem of Beijing is that they do not want the collapse of North Korea rule. But the rule of existing restrictions can be very difficult and many additional financial steps can be taken to make North Korea's life even more difficult.

The problem is that with a detailed restriction there may be a famine in North Korea, no one would want to see North Korea in this condition.

North Korea and China have proposed that the program of Pyongyang nuclear development could potentially end if the US stopped the activities threatening the country's territories. Why is not this being done?

For a long time, the purpose of the American policy is to stop North Korea's nuclear program, but it could not be possible and it seems that now the emphasis is on controlling it. There is no indication that it seems that North Korea has a desire to close its nuclear weapons.

China is eager to move forward in a diplomatic way, and its path is also there. For example, North Korea's nuclear weapon programs can be limited in exchange for different concessions. But this failed attempt has already been done.

What is the treaty of the countries of the Korea Peninsula?

What are the treaties around the Korean Peninsula, is anyone obliged to be involved and is there any response to it?

South Korea has long been a mutual defense treaty with the United States since 1953, and if it is threatened, then Washington will come for help.

In South Korea, 28,500 American soldiers and warships are regularly stationed in the country.

There is also a treaty in 1961 for mutual aid and cooperation between China and North Korea, but there is talk about defense, but it is clear that if war happens then China will help North Korea.

What are the measures that North Korea has to avoid the US invasion?

If North Korea does a nuclear test then what will it do to prevent the attacks of America and its allies?

If North Korea goes to war, then its worst impact will be on South Korea, because South Korea's capital Seoul is in the range of weapons of North Korea.

Certainly North Korea could initially be ahead in the war, but it would be difficult to tie US technology and modern US military machines. North Korea will definitely end up completely. But along with it there will be a great destruction in South Korea.

What will be China's role in the war between America and North Korea?

If North Korea submerges the US ship and America retaliates, then what would be the role of China? Will it invoke a global nuclear war?

China is aware of this growing tension. It is in a difficult situation. He does not like the rule of Pyongyang and its unstable behavior. But it also does not want North Korea's rule to be removed because it will not be happy with the unified Korea tilted towards the United States. Apart from this, the decline of North Korea's rule can lead to millions of refugees in China.

If North Korea attacks, then what will be the impact on Europe?

If North Korea, South Korea and the United States attack nuclear attacks, what will it have on Europe?

North Korea does not possess any firearms to Europe. It is difficult to say how much the nuclear attack will have on the environment. It will depend on its scale and atmospheric conditions.

What do the North Korean people think?

What does the North Korean know about the US preparation for security against North Korea?

North Korea is a country where people know only what their government tells. This is a rule that can make missiles, and sometimes it is difficult to provide food to the people of their country.

North Korea is said to be surrounded by its enemies equipped with nuclear weapons, so the reaction of Pyongyang is to create such a high military capability by keeping such weapons for itself.

North Korea Test fires Ballistic Missiles

America has warned North Korea of stern action. Since Donald Trump came into power in US, North Korea has done missile testing nine times so far. Pentagon has also confirmed the North Korea's missile test on Saturday. CNN told the US officials that North Korea launched the KN-17 ballistic missile capable of hitting medium-range from the mobile, which could not reach the Japan Sea.

U.S. Army's Pacific Command spokesman Dave Benham said the North Korean ballistic missile was launched Saturday at 10:33 p.m. However, no response has been received by North Korea on this. Between the growing tension with America, the ballistic missile test conducted by North Korea has raised the global concern.

According to the South Korean army chief, the missile was launched from a test site in Pyongan province, north of Pyongyong, north of the capital on Saturday. Earlier, North Korea tested a missile about 12 days ago. He also threatened in the UN that he would be conducting missile tests every week. At the same time, the White House reported that information about North Korea's missile test has been given to American President Donald Trump.

North Korea insulted China: Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that North Korea insulted China by testing missile. This is very bad. Actually, China had asked North Korea to stop the missile test and nuclear program. In such a situation, Trump is trying to bring China in its favor. His statement is believed to be proving against China against North Korea.

North Korea's Missile Test Failed

US government sources say North Korea's missile test has failed. At the current time in the Korean Peninsular, the United States can take military action against North Korea's move in deeper tension. American President Donald Trump has also warned in the open words that treating the world's cancerous eunuch dictator Kim Jong, who is cancerous for the world, is essential.

US Military Action

These words can not be taken lightly by the president of the world's most powerful country. Trump has also cleared that there will be fierce conflicts with North Korea. In addition, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has also said that the United States wants to take military action against North Korea. In such a situation, North Korea can take military action against North Korea's missile test. At the same time, North Korea has warned of a nuclear attack on America.

US shouuld Take on the Terrorist Groups without Pakistan

Washington. American experts say that while dealing with Pakistan, America should review its options. He told the American administration that if Pakistan continues to support terrorist groups attacking neighbors like India, then America should take a one-sided action on these terrorist hideouts itself. America should cut off funding to PAK.

Sath Jie Jones, director of RAND Corporation, International Security and Defense Policy Center, said in a statement before the Foreign Affairs Committee, "Congress has cut down military aid to Pakistan during the last few years. It has also truncated the foreign military finance to Pakistan.

- "But, despite this deduction, the US should also cut the aid given to Pakistan, the economic sanctions should be implemented against special organizations and people, and the United States should take similar steps to other countries.”

PAK should not allow its soil for Terrorist Groups

- Jones said, "America should review relations with Pakistan. It should  crack down on Taliban hideouts, with or without the help of Pakistan. US should forge a good tie with Pakistan if and only if the later severs its ties with the terrorist groups that target the neighbouring India and Afghanistan. Achieving favourable result is very important for the US.

No Let up in the Behaviour of Paksitan in a Decade

- Senior Fellow in Center for 21st Century and Intelligence in the Foreign Policy Program, Wanda Felbab Browne said, "Pakistan's inability to stop supporting the Taliban clearly shows its inherent and internal limits. The decade is passing, but Pakistan's Military Intelligence is still upset about the progress of India. At a time when Pakistan itself is facing obstruction and terrorism "

PAK is afraid of India's Diplomatic Fencing

- Brown said, "fearing the siege of India, Pakistan is refusing to eliminate the Afghan militant groups who use their land as hideouts. Despite the pressure from UN and NATO, Pakistan is supporting these groups. It shows that Pakistan's Military Intelligence believes that the friendly country of India on the western border to deal with any threat from Afghanistan The Jehadi group is extremely important. "

Bahubali or Bahut Bada Hit?

 After two years of waiting, it is now revealed why Katappa killed Bahubali. Well, the audience wait to know this for two years waiting to know this question. Everyone were willing to see the movie so anxiously that despite the working day, the first show in all cinemas was the house-full.

Such a craze in Hindi-speaking audience is usually seen only by the Khan Trio. Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, no one could say that it is a film that has no strong star in the North Belt. For the people who did not even recognize the preoccupation two years ago, they were taking tickets by putting the line and playing the whistles.

Salman Khan is like Bahubali Prabhas ....

Bahu's entry started with applause

When Bahubali Prabhas was signed to complete his mother's worship in the first scene of the movie, the audience welcomed with a lot of applause. When South's star got such a response, it was felt that now Prabhas should take Bollywood movies to sign.

As far as the film is concerned, not only the entry, but in the beginning Bahubali comedy along with Katappa also witnessed a huge applause. Mama-Bhangi met Devasena Anushka Shetty in the same form. Meanwhile, the scenes that have been thrown with technical expertise, the fans of Bahubali have also appreciated them.

Poignant Moments

If there are laughing scenes in the movie, the other part of Bahubali has its Poignant Part. The eyes of the spectators were dampened several times. Mother of Lord Shiva's son Bahu was wiping his eyes from the castle, and with a heavy heart, dipping the sword in the back of a lovely nectar, made many eyes mist.

And the rest of the audience

There are also many scenes in the films that surprise the audience. And even if you blink for a moment , something will be missed. Climax is very very impressive. Seeing this film, I can say with absolute certainty that it will make Hollywood movies a run for money. Bahubali has given a stern answer to those who dub Bollywood movies as superficial and just praise foreign films.

A special connection from the movie is also felt when its posters see you live on the screen. Climbing on the trunk of the elephant of the Bahubali, the majestic form of DevSena, Bahoo and Devasena together targeting with bow and arrow together all these scenes set a different connection.

America and China in a Confrontational Situation

America and China are constantly looking at each other in a confrontational situation. Both the countries are face-to-face about the tension in the Korean Peninsula.

Robert Vadra Got Profit of Rs 50.5 crore Illegally:Dhingara Commission

According to an English newspaper, the son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi had illegally got a profit of Rs 50.5 crore from a land deal.

New Delhi: The report of Dhingra Commission, formed by the Manohar Lal Khattar government of Haryana in 2015, has revealed that Robert Vadra, son-in-law of son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, had made a profit of Rs 50.5 crore illegally from a land deal in Haryana in 2008, while he did not spend a single penny in that deal.

According to the English newspaper Economic Times, Vadra was negotiated to benefit the company. The Dhingra Commission was asked to investigate the license to change land use in four villages of Gurgaon. It also included a screening of the license given to Vadra's company Sky Light Hospitality Private Limited. The Commission submitted its report on August 31, 2016. The report of the commission was presented to the Supreme Court last week by the state government in a sealed envelope.

Replying to ET's questions in an e-mail, Vadra and lawyer of Skylight Hospitality, Suman Khetan said that Vadra and Skylight had not done any wrongdoing and did not violate any law. He also said that the entire price of land has been paid according to the market value and its income tax has also been given.

Constitutional Challenge to the Commission 

 Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had given constitutional challenge to the formation of Dhingra Commission. Hooda had filed an application in the High Court alleging that some officials of the Haryana government leaked the Dhingra Commission report. The Punjab and Haryana High Courts have recorded the assurance that the report will not be published. Those who give information about the case say that a Haryana government official had testified before the Commission. He testified in the context of Skylight's real estate capabilities. The officer had said that Vadra is a very special person and in this connection he has the ability to make colony.

Irregularity in License 

According to the Economic Times, Dhingra report has given information of more than 20 properties which Vadra and his companies had purchased. One of these properties was purchased from Vadra's Skylite Hospitality Private Limited from Omkareshwar Properties. Later, its land use was changed and sold to DLF and thus got a profit of Rs 50.5 crore. The Commission has expressed doubts that the second land was bought from this profit. 

According to ET, after reviewing several land deals, it has been recommended in the report that land use licenses issued by the then Hooda government should be audited by an independent agency and cancellation of licenses given illegally.

Referring to the sources, ET said that after the deal was done by Omkareshwar Properties in favor of Skylight Hospitality, the company of Vadra made only Rs 50.5 crore on the basis of their name and no money was spent on it.

After the election results, AAP in-charge of Delhi's Dilip Pandey resigned on Wednesday evening. Within 24 hours, the party's Punjab in-charge Sanjay Singh has announced his resignation on Thursday. Sanjay Singh tweeted, "I have given my resignation to the national convenor Arvind Kejriwal " He also said that Durgesh Pathak, co-in-charge of Punjab has also resigned from his post. . Apart from this, ML Alka Lamba, from the Chandni Chowk in Delhi, had also offered to resign, taking responsibility for the party's defeat in the region. Although these resignations are being linked to the MCD results, the interesting thing is that Sanjay Singh has resigned almost a month after the Punjab elections.

It is notable that after losing in the MCD elections on Wednesday, the party's Delhi convener Dilip Pandey sent his resignation to the national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. He has said that the responsibilities of this post should be handed over to another person. Taking the moral responsibility of the party's defeat in the elections, Pandey resigned from his post and tweeted it. He wrote, "I have resigned from AAP as the Delhi Convenor and have given this information to the party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and requested to hand over this responsibility to someone else."

Pandey was given a joint responsibility with the campaign for campaigning for the State Convenor Municipal Corporation and its strategy, Ashish Talwar, in-charge of Delhi. Pandey, fearing to rig the election result just two days before the election results, said that the exit poll is being prepared by expressing the possibility of BJP's victory in the exit polls.

On Wednesday, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Alka Lamba has offered to resign from all the posts of the MLA and the party while taking responsibility for the defeat of the candidates in his area. Alka, who represents Chandni Chowk constituency, tweeted, "I take the personal responsibility of the defeat of party candidates in all three wards of my constituency and I also offer my resignation as all the posts and legislators of the party. "However, Alka said that he will continue to support Kejriwal and strengthen him.

On April 19, a meeting between Bombawale and Janjua was rescheduled. Pakistan has refused India's requests for consular access to 46-year-old Jadhav, more than a dozen times in the last one year.

He also said that Indian international law grants consular access on a humanitarian basis. The Foreign Office of Pakistan has said that proper judicial proceeding was followed during Jadhav's hearing and he was given an attorney according to the relevant laws and the Constitution of Pakistan.

Jadhav had been sentenced to death by the Field General Court Marshal at the beginning of this month, citing a sharp reaction in India, Pakistan had warned that if "the former psychiatrist was killed" then Pakistan would have to face the dire consequences at bilateral relations.

After his arrest, the Pakistani army released a "unity" video of Jadhav. However, India denied Pakistan's rank and said that Jadhav was abducted by Pakistani officials.

Cow Slaughter 2

Hey friends!  I am back as per my promise …with the next series of my article based on issue of ban on cow slaughter.

This part focuses basically on the British era and its aftermath on cow slaughter. We here witness the beginning of first slaughter house to the restriction of excess slaughter of cow. Let’s go through the entire part of the following topic to realize the actual base of the issue on cow slaughter, which has become a burning topic these days. And like it for further such in depth study of current trending issues.

British Raj

With the rise of British rule in India, a new situation was created .The Europeans, who were habituated of eating beef found difficulty in India to fetch it. As beef was a popular food for the Britishers including their other counterparts from various regions of Europe living in India. As an aftermath of their requirements and lack of supply of beef they decided to build a cow slaughterhouse.

This way rose :-

 The first slaughterhouse in India was built in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1760 by Robert Clive, then Governor of Bengal. 350 slaughter houses were constructed by 1910.

The reverence for the cow too played a major role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British East India Company. Hindu and Muslim sepoys in the army of the East India Company came to believe that their paper cartridges, which held a measured amount of gunpowder, were greased with cow and pig fat.

In 1870, the Namdhari Sikhs started the Kukua Revolution, revolting against the British, and seeking to protect the cows from slaughter.

 Swami Dayananda Saraswati called for the stoppage of cow slaughter by the British.

The 1870s, cow protection movements spread rapidly in Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province, Oudh (now Awadh) and Rohilkhand.

So from these historical risings its evident that cow slaughter has never been a part of Our Indian culture, it has been started, inculcated and popularized by the invaders  or specially the Europeans who came to India.

Some prominent leaders of the independence movement such as Mahatma Gandhi, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Madan Mohan Malviya, Rajendra Prasad and Purushottam Das Tandon, assured them repeatedly that on achieving the goal of Swaraj, the first action of the Swadeshi Government would be to ban slaughter of cow and its progeny by law.

 Mahatma Gandhi stated in a speech given in Muzaffarpur in 1917;

 "The central fact of Hinduism is cow protection." He regarded her better than the earthly mother, and called her "the mother to millions of Indian mankind

However, Mahatma Gandhi opposed the ban as such. He remarked: "I do not doubt that Hindus are forbidden the slaughter of cows. I have been long pledged to serve the cow but how can my religion also be the religion of the rest of the Indians? It will mean coercion against those Indians who are not Hindus. We have been shouting from the house-tops that there will be no coercion in the matter of religion.

...if anyone were to force me (religiously) I would not like it. How can I force anyone not to slaughter cows unless he is himself so disposed? 

In 1940, one of the Special Committees of the Indian National Congress opined that slaughter of cow and its progeny must be totally prohibited. However, another Committee of the Congress opposed cow slaughter prohibition stating that the skin and leather of cow and its progeny, which is fresh by slaughter, should be sold and exported to earn foreign exchange.

In 1944, the British placed restrictions on cattle slaughter in India, on the grounds that the shortage of cattle was causing anxiety to the Government.

The shortage itself was attributed to the increased demand for cattle for cultivation, transport, milk and other purposed. It was decided that, in respect of slaughter by the army authorities, working cattle, as well as, cattle fit for bearing offspring, should not be slaughtered.

We may deduce from these assertions and incidents, that cow slaughter has always been a bone of contention in our society. And why it shouldn’t be so? Ours is a culture woven around the closest & most positively impacted by cow and its various other species. We also worship cow and almost all its products whether its cow dung cow cake cow urine etc. On the very juxtaposition cow to be slaughtered just to satiate one’s taste buds, doesn’t it sounds idiotic?

So here ends the second part of the series based on ban on cow slaughter. I’ll be back with the concluding part of this article next day. Till then have a nice time and do take special care of yourself.
