On 8 October 2004, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted Resolution 1566, concerning threats to international peace and security caused by terrorism. Indian state-sponsored assassination of Canadian national Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil fits into the definition of criminal acts, offences and terrorism as elaborated in Resolution 1566. Observers believe that the murder of Nijjar by Indian state agents should lead to closer scrutiny of activities of RAW in Western countries and Indian diplomats working undercover in Indian diplomatic missions abroad. Indian actions in Canada also appear to have taken their toll on the US-India relations. The recent turmoil in the Indian state of Manipur serves as a troubling illustration of the persistent rise of Hindu extremism under Modi’s leadership.

Rolling yards was a regular part of my teen years too. I’m still quite immature, but I gave up rolling yards a while back. The interesting thing about rolling yards and other forms of relatively harmless teen-age mischief, is that it was usually reserved for people we liked. And now I’ve discovered that yard rolling is still alive and well. I’ve been told by authorities that rolling yards is illegal and the homeowners can have the perpetrators arrested.

In Pakistan, the population is burgeoning rapidly at a growth rate of 2.55% annually and, ac­cording to United Nations esti­mates, is ranked as the 5th most populated country in the world. The growing population has proven to be an agent of meteors’ arrival; one of them is child labor. As the saying goes, “for a na­tion, children are shining stars in the sky,” but in our sky, stars don’t shine anymore because it has clouded itself with labour and scrounging. Uncontrolled population surge plays the role of gravitation­al force in escalating the velocity of falling meteorites. To stop meteorites from fall­ing, dealing with the gravity of a burgeoning population is more of a concern.

In the new emerging global scenario, nations, big and small, are entering into new partnerships and alliances to strengthen their power base and to create new sets of opportunities. Today, India is the second largest importer of oil from Saudi Arabia (USD 25.6 billion), only behind China (USD 48.7 billion). A traditional US ally, Saudi Arabia has established close ties with China which is currently the largest importer of its oil. We also need to create new partnerships and alliances, for now with groups sans India. The potential addition of China, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to the ECO could make it a formidable economic group.
