Take the case of the Naga insurgency where New Delhi has been engaged in peace talks with the Isak-Muivah faction of the NSCN (NSCN-IM) since 1997. In the four ambushes since November 16, six soldiers and a civilian were killed, and at least 13 other soldiers were injured.On the surface, this may look like a routine insurgent activity in the woods of the Northeast, a region plagued by separatist rebellions for seven decades now. A similar joint statement was issued on November 20 after the ambush the previous day in Tinsukia district in which three Army soldiers were killed and four others wounded. This is largely because the government has failed, almost on all occasions, to come up with inclusive peace dialogues involving different insurgent groups active in a particular state or an area. A lot of things <a href="https://www.tumbrella.cn">transparent umbrella</a> need to be ironed out if a semblance of order can be restored in this region. It was actually a road opening party, a posse of troops who patrol a stretch in order to sanitise it ahead of major troop movements. The four Manipuri outfits are the People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (Progressive), Revolutionary People’s Front and the United National Liberation Front.Despite such concessions, why is it that groups like the NSCN-K and other smaller NSCN factions are outside the purview of peace talks? The same is the case with the Ulfa — the faction headed by Arabinda Rajkhowa and Anup Chetia are in talks but Mr Barua and his Ulfa (I) is engaged in battling the security forces. On both occasions, the rebels had codenamed their offensive as "Operation Barak”. All the incidents took place in the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border region, on almost the route taken by the insurgents to access their bases in adjoining Myanmar across the Patkai ranges. According to credible information accessed by this writer, the Centre is ready to let the Nagas have a separate flag, in addition to the tricolour, and also mention "Indian (Naga)” in passports issued to Nagas.. The general desire to allow the Nagas a separate flag or to mention "Naga” next to "India” in passports is perhaps the government’s way of agreeing to the idea of a "shared sovereignty”.The following question now arises — if five or more major insurgent groups from the Northeast have come together under a new rebel platform and have managed to launch coordinated strikes, rather successfully, against the Indian security establishment, and, thereby, the Indian state itself, what has been the impact of all the peace processes launched over the years by the Indian government? An answer to this may be difficult to find but not impossible to attempt: first, New Delhi’s peace exercises have been seen to be mere attempts at achieving a temporary lull in insurgent activities rather than an exercise at finding lasting long-term solutions.

The integrated scheme will not only help beneficiaries rise but even the number of schemes will go down, consequently saving resources of the government”. We are hopeful that the PM will soon announce the scheme,” sources added. "While the Expediture Finance Committee (EFC) has already approved the scheme. The Union health secretary gave the presentation along with officials from department of financial services, ministry of finance and the cabinet secretary who were also present during the meeting with the Prime Minister. The new scheme which is likely to be named-National Health Protection scheme (NHPS) aims to bring together all existing health insurance schemes and in its new avatar is expected to offer increased coverage. Extensive deliberations were going on for the past one year with the Cabinet secretary over-seeing the movements on the proposed scheme.

After protracted deliberations decks seem to have been cleared for introducing an integrated health insurance scheme with Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi giving his approval to the proposed welfare After protracted deliberations decks seem to have been cleared for introducing an integrated health insurance scheme with Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi giving his approval to the proposed welfare measure..At present, India only has the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) was envisaged to provide health insurance coverage to Below Poverty Line families. Interestingly, various ministries like the ministry of health, ministry of textiles, ministry of social justice and empowerment, women and child development, ministry of agriculture etc run separate health insurance related schemes. Officials say that the integration will ease governance and save resources of the government.Sources said that after extensive deliberations, a final presentation was made before the Prime Minister on Monday soon after he came back from Chandigarh after the grand international yoga day celebrations. 

The proposed scheme has brought together those life insurance schemes where health subject is inbuilt including those which are related to accident cover, those which cover disabilities, labour, railways, textiles, fishermen etc. The scheme proposes to offer a health cover of up to `1 lakh per family and for senior citizens, a top-up of Rs 30,000 additionally.Similarly, the state government also run their insurance schemes some are even run in the name of the chief ministers of the state.

Yoga has been trivialised and it’s a sad state of affairs. Bringing a homogeneity and universal identity, this might be what the strife filled world needs today. That’s the way the world works. People are embracing various cultures and doing away with archaic forms of thoughts. A healthy alternative to coffee, it seems to be a desi tadka, in a drink.Honourary Consul of Spain, Bengaluru, Surbhi Sharma feels that these cultural exchanges are great occasions for camaraderie, "We talk about living in a global village and this is a perfect example. Yoga is yoga, the whole practice is to work with oneself, body and mind. Holi is played with fervour in Spain, with marathons having Holi colours as a part of their run-dez-vous. Salamanca resident and lawyer, Lina Marcela Santibáñez Mejía, who participated in the Salamanca Colour Race, describes it, The runners got a bag containing coloured powder that we could throw on anyone we wanted. 

JFK said it best: The only unchangeable certainty, is that nothing is certain, or unchangeable.. Yogini Samita Rathore is filled with angst at this interpretation. Ironically, fly-by-night ‘new’ yoga teachers are offering classes of yoga that start with a deep puff from a chillum. Hashish Yoga, in which yogic asanas are performed with a smoke-ful of hashish manna, threatens to obliterate the very essence of yoga. Take Holi, the festival of colours, which is played with fervour in Spain, with marathons having Holi colours as a part of their run-dez-vous. Hashish, or charas, is seen as a gift of Shiva to aid in sadhana. This way, tourists, locals and farmers benefitted too,” she says, adding, "The Spanish town of Bunol greatly benefits by attracting over 40,000 tourists on the day of Tomatina Festival, leading to a good amount of business. Karanth attributes the fusing of two individual activities into one as an instance of an inter-cultural cauldron, "Cultural taboos are slowly fading. The event had full support of the government of Meghalaya whose horticulture department collaborated with the Vegetable Sellers Association. 

In any case, we need to respect current laws in force, and if they have outlived their purpose, we should endeavour to change them. knowing that someone would want to hang onto the old, and then let the universe decide what will be permitted. I see this as a merger that ushers the advent of a liberal era. It’s a ‘Holi’day!A marathon and Holi What’s the connection People in Salamanca found one, when they held a 5K marathon with Holi colours.It’s desi in videsi garb with a fusion of celebrations, festivals and customs. It’s an exotic health drink — the West has realised its health benefits. Even parties across the world have thrown some gulaal into the revelling. I would therefore go with the evolving trend. While all these bring about a sense of belonging, there are also worrying practices like ‘hashish yoga’ that tries to marry age-old spiritual yoga, adding pot into the asana and pranayama equation. 

However, while it is always a struggle to decide what part of culture needs to remain sacrosanct and what needs tweaking or discarding, the world now uses the power of collective or crowd intelligence. In modern times, this sort of navel-gazing to sell a concept is outrageous, Personality coach and mind guru Ian Faria sums it up in a nutshell, "I believe that culture is a moving standard.K. Organic cafes are serving Turmeric latte with ginger. She says, "While a turmeric latte is a wonderful marrying of cultures, Hashish Yoga is ridiculous. It’s demoralising and dangerous too. It’s a full cycle and it makes me happy when India gets highlighted. A new-age stick workout, similar to our Gujju behen’s Dandiya has taken fitness junkies into its clattering umbrella too.”In a thumping party too, splashing colour on one another is something that has taken Madrid and Barcelona under its colourful umbrella, adding some more to the boogeying.” While she felt the addition of colours was a tad frivolrous in a marathon, she says, "Companies take advantage of these new ideas to attract young people, though I did enjoy the post-race tapas session and drinks. In the early days, when yogis used to take cannabis, it was not taken recreationally but as a pure herb, this new form is against the first rule of yoga, which is ahimsa and non-violence, as it violates the body. Such celebrations are a perfect way of promoting better understanding and camaraderie among the people of the world. Does cannabis help in one’s quest for vinyasa NOT, is the universal answer.” In Indian history, cannabis is believed to have been used as an entheogen as early as 1000 BCE. At completion of each kilometre, all runners got a ‘coloured shower’ under an arch with each arch in a particular colour.. Likewise, India too joins this bandwagon with the various Tomatina Festivals being held here. The very fact that the festival of Holi is observed in Arabian countries, and our Northeastern counterparts seem to be taking active part in Tomatina, a festival celebrated with gusto in Spain, testifies to this. A damp squib — new-age yogaYet, something like yoga seems to be getting some disturbing interpretations.”Yoga teacher Samita Rathore has been seeing a craze for it in Australia where she is currently teaching yoga, "‘It is big time in Sydney. India produces most of the world’s turmeric and uses 80 percent of it (for cooking)!Renowned Chef Abhijit Saha says about the ‘Indian saffron’, "There is a rule the world follows: Do things differently instead of coming up with new things. It is indeed becoming a small world, where one sees festivals as a celebration irrespective of origin, and issues as a part of the world crisis. Together in celebration rather than apart in beliefs! That oft-gulped and much detested haldi doodh of childhood has turned into a chic organic drink in the West, with turmeric latte and tea being the go-to. I think we need to use our brains to realise what is true and what is a gimmick. It takes very little for things to become a rage and it’s great that people have found a new formula to market things. The line between homegrown customs and the West is blurring with elements of desi-ness becoming a part of international celebrations. I am delighted to see such cultural exchanges that go beyond boundaries, and into the minds and lives of others. It’s desi in videsi garb with a fusion of celebrations, festivals and customs. It clearly shows how people are so disconnected with reality — the fact that people are even using a term like Hashish Yoga is such a shame — something so sacred and traditional like yoga is being degraded to such a umbrella level by an unseemly bunch.”Such exchanges promote understanding and sociologist B. To think that the age-old nuska for good health — haldi doodh — has reached foreign waters speaks volumes of that ordinary nub of turmeric or curcuma. Usually taken as a concoction in milk as bhang and used during religious ceremonies. A spice that is 4,000 years old in Vedic culture. It’s ironic that our very own haldi doodh has been turned into a latte craze. 

It is especially interesting to see this take place this year, as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Indo-Spanish diplomatic relations!”And everyone wants to be a part of it, "Holi has become a huge fad abroad, especially after the release of Coldplay’s music video that was shot in India which focused on Holi colours, so many of my relatives from the US and UK have shown interest in flying down, just to celebrate the festival here!” exclaims Yasmin Paul, a student of communication. It’s remarkable how we all used to have it as kids — we would close our noses to gulp it down, and now we’ve forgotten it and the West has embraced it. Empirically, this has proved to be very accurate in determining trends and shifts in mindset. More than being a Roman, we seem to be taking Rome wherever we go!” he quips. The ordinary ripe tomato too finds its festival being celebrated in the country, as the Tomatina of Spain comes to the Northeast

Video aired by TV channels showed a man holding an umbrella as Hema Malini tried to get into the tractor.During her trip, the actor-turned-politician sat on a tractor and flashed the victory sign for the photographers. Rival parties accused her of putting up an act in poll season. What is wrong with it? Everybody was happy to see the picture back in Mumbai.Defending the images, Hema Malini told a news channel, "I am an actress, a celebrity. I dont see this in Mumbai.Hema, 70, has her hands on the steering wheel, wearing a pink sari, sunglasses and a smile.Days after images of her cutting crop with sickle in a field splashed the social media, the BJP candidate was spotted trying to ride a tractor in her constituency.". When I go to the villages, I like that environment and I like it.In photos from her campaign, Hema Malini has been seen cutting crop with women on fields and greeting people through the sunroof of her Mercedes.

TDC CEO Allison Kirkby was quoted as saying that the operator "is not blind" to widespread concerns about Huawei and information security, although she also pointed out that price was a significant factor. and we see that as a strategically important cooperation," Ekholm said, but added the deal had been on the table for "a few years"..they are trying to create some kind of umbrella, which I think is very good for Europe," Ekholm said, adding that Ericsson will not take a position on national security issues.. That has not happened yet."It’s good that the EU is trying to harmonize the regulations.Ericsson won back a 5G customer from Huawei in its own backyard last week when it signed a comprehensive deal with Denmark’s TDC to deploy its 5G platform and modernize the carrier’s radio access and core networks."And that of course leads to more discussions with customers for us, but we can’t see that contracts are being allocated.Huawei has strongly rejected the allegations and launched a lawsuit against the US government..Ericsson said it had won the contract because it is a technology leader in 5G.."EU nations will be required to share data on 5G cybersecurity risks and produce measures to tackle them by the end of the year, the European Commission said on Tuesday, shunning US calls to ban Huawei across the bloc.."This is an important customer, we will be working with their whole network."What we see is that customers are worried," Ericsson Chief Executive Borje Ekholm told Reuters ahead of the firm’s annual meeting at a venue close to its north Stockholm headquarters.Huawei had signed a six-year networks deal with TDC back in 2013, establishing the Danish company as a ‘reference’ customer to showcase its performance
