China tells India to remove security camps from Ladakh !

The face-off between India-China is expected to turn into a major diplomatic row, as the third and crucial flag meet between the two nations over Chinese incursion in Ladakh on Tuesday failed despite the efforts of resolving the issue through bilateral talks. In fact, China has become more assertive and the visit of new Chinese Premier Li Keqiangin to India in late May is also doubted. The media reports also suggested this ongoing row can derail the positive initiatives taken in Durban during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s meeting with new Chinese President Xi Jinping. Earlier on Saturday, the Prime Minister had termed the incursion as ‘localised’, but efforts to keep it contained received a major setback on Tuesday. The flag meeting, which took place some 20 km from Chushul in Ladakh on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on April 30, was set up at the diplomatic level through the joint mechanism on boundary issues led by the MEA’s

Swayamsewaks arrested in Kerala for taking out Republic Day Procession

In a shameful incident, RSS swayamsewaks were arrested by police in Guruvayur, Kerala on January 26th 2013 while they were doing a path sanchalan (parade) to celebrate 50 years of the historic moment when RSS was invited by then Primeminister Pt Jawaharlal Nehru to take part in the Republic parade.

Hence, it was invited by then Prime Minister Nehru to take part in the Republic Day parade of 1963. It along with several other civilian organizations took part in the parade. When many organisations objected on inviting RSS, Nehru said, "I have invited all patriots to take part in the parade." Later in 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars too, the RSS volunteers offered their services to maintain law and order of the country and were apparently the first to donate blood. RSS leaders have sought the permission but it wa

UK-India Business Council hails Gujarat growth story

UK-India Business Council hails Gujarat growth story The growth story of Gujarat is the focus of the first edition of the new flagship publication launched by UK India Business Council (UKIBC), a premier London-based organisation that helps British firms do business with India. Nearly a quarter of the 40-page magazine, a quarterly named UK India Business Exchange, is dedicated to the state. The cover story, titled "Entry to India: Gujarat", not only talks about the social, cultural and economic aspects of Gujarat, but also claims that its economic growth is greater than that of China. "With its charismatic Chief Minister Narendra Modi tipped by many to be next PM, and even more charismatic brand ambassador, Amitabh Bachchan, Gujarat tends to be the poster child for India.
