प्रकृति, भारत, और अनुशासन
June 18 , 2021 Akanksha Bajpai
Article Views: 390
समस्त मानव जाति के लिए यदि ईश्वर का सर्वोत्तम वरदान कुछ है तो वह प्रकृति है। प्रकृति और मानव एक दूसरे के पूरक माने गए हैं। मनुष्य और प्रकृति के बीच संतुलित संबंध का आधार समरसता को माना गया है । यही भाव प्रकृति और व्यक्ति को एक दूसरे से जोड़ता है। प्रकृति और मनुष्य का संबंध आश्रय और आश्रित का है। प्रकृति संपूर्ण पृथ्वी ग्रह को अपने भीतर संरक्षण देती है। ‘प्रकृति’ किसी व्यक्ति, समाज, राज्य, या देश, की निजी संपत्ति नहीं होती। किन्तु यह कहना असत्य नहीं होगा कि सदियों से हमारे देश भारत का प्रकृति के साथ एक भिन्न एवं अनोखा संबंध रहा है। सर्व प्राचीन सभ्यता होने के

Fears of Colour Revolution in People’s Liberation Army
June 17 , 2021 Jayadeva Ranade
Article Views: 551
China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) is the sword arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Its recruits swear an oath of loyalty to the Party. The evening that Xi Jinping took over China’s top three positions of General Secretary of the CCP Central Committee (CC), Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) and China's President, he convened an enlarged meeting of the CMC where he declared that henceforth the single determining criteria for promotion for PLA personnel would be their political reliability.

The Absence of Air Power in India’s Security Narratives
June 16 , 2021 Air Marshal D Choudhury, AVSM, VM, VSM
Article Views: 752
India’s security narrative of the region has been largely driven by the coercive diplomacy which China has chosen to pursue as a part of its national security strategy. Border stand offs in Arunachal in the near recent past and Ladakh currently, underscore India’s ever-present continental challenge due to unresolved boundaries with its largest neighbour. On the other hand, the rising maritime muscle flexing by China on its Eastern and Southern seaboards is expanding from a South East Asian context into a wider Indo-Pacific domain. Both these scenarios impact India directly, but differently.

कोविड के काल में विवेकानंद
June 16 , 2021 Arvind Gupta, Director, VIF
Commentary Views: 634
कोविड के इस संकट में आज चारों ओर विषाद और निराशा फैले हुए हैं। यह निराशा स्वाभाविक है। कई लोग मारे जा चुके है। चारों तरफ से बुरी खबरें आ रही हैं। कई परिवारों में तो थोड़े-बहुत दिनों के अंतराल में ही कई सदस्यों का निधन हो गया। अब यह वायरस ग्रामीण आबादी में फैल रहा है। टीके, दवा और अस्पताल सब की कमी है। स्वास्थ्य ढांचा बिल्कुल चरमरा गया है।
