A Surprising But A Sad Incident- The Pathankot Air Base Attack

-
It was indeed an surprising and sad incident that took place on the first day of 2016. SP Balwinder Singh tipped off  the cops telling them that he and his cook was abducted by terrorists, who was very well-trained in Pakistan. The cops ignored the information, wasting most of their crucial time. By afternoon on the same day, things were getting out of hand and the situation worsened, with the centre issuing a alert about the terrorists, with their main aim at Pathankot. PM Narendra Modi then held an high level meeting with the NSA, Foreign Secretary and other officials. The NSG was dispatched to Pathankot and was victorious in their operation. But an accidential explosion injured Lieutanant Colonel Niranjan and other NSG officials. According to the Defence Ministry, it was an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that injured Lt. Col. Niranjan and other NSG officials.

Lt.Col. Niranjan, who is a native of Palakkad District, Kerala, had joined the Army 11 years back. He was promoted to the Lt.Col. position from Major sometime back. He is survived by his wife, Dr.Radhika and a two-year old daughter Vismaya. He was very keen on his fitness and took part in all sports and art club activities. Niranjan, who laid down his life for his own country, is and will remain as a braveheart in everybody's hearts.

A new cabinet has taken oath on Saturday. Now you all may be wondering- "Which cabinet is he taking about? There are a few more days left for the Karnataka election". No, I am not talking about the Karnataka government. I am talking about a shadow cabinet that has been formed in Kerala.  There is not much reported by the media about it, as usual, but the shadow cabinet has been formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions and making it 'public-friendly'. The most interesting fact is that it is composed not by any politicians or run by any party, but by the civilians.  Now all of you might be wanting to know more about 'Shadow Cabinet', so I have looked up in the internet and found out what it really is, so as to give you a more clearer idea of what it actually is- " A shadow cabinet is an alternative cabinet formed with the aim of monitoring government decisions.

Heading towards a Third World War?

-
Recently, North Korea, or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK), have been testing out nuclear warheads and other deadly military equipments. When asked why they are doing so, they said they want to attain equilibrium with the United States of America (USA). Now, think about this. The first world war took place because of military superiority. Britain was a superior country in terms of military power. Germany wanted to achieve equilibrium with Britain. What I am trying to say is even DPRK is following the path of Germany of that time. If this issue continues, there is going to be serious issues which can even wipe out human beings from Earth. The United Nations Security Council should not only take strict action against DPRK, but should also make necessary decisions and  put it in the form of a resolution that all countries, irrespective of its size or population maintain an army as prescribed by the Security Council. In this way, we can prevent a possible Third world ...

On October 26, the President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena had sacked the Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe and had appointed former President, Mahinda Rajapaksa with immediate effect. This came as a shocker for all the Sri Lankans and caused a widespread protest and riots. Sirisena was known to be a gentle person and little did they know that he was a 'wolf disguised in a sheep's clothing'. Maithripala Sirisena The fact to be noted is that the nation’s President and Prime Minister come from traditionally opposing parties that formed a surprise coalition in 2015 to oust the then-president Mahinda Rajapaksa, who many feared was becoming too powerful. In the past two years, this ruling coalition has started to fall apart. It is dysfunctional and unpopular with the Sri Lankan public. Since at least February this year, president Maithripala Sirisena has been searching for ways to remove the prime minister, Ranil Wickremasinghe. On October 26th, he...
