IDF Brass: Israel Faces “Catastrophic Defeat” if Next Hezbollah War Exceeds Ten Days
by Franklin Lamb


The view of many analysts in the Israeli and American military leadership as well as among the Israeli lobby in the US Congress is that Israel must ensure that the next war is short. The shorter the better for many reasons.  One being that Washington will not ‘green light’ a protracted war that kills large numbers of Lebanese civilians. Another one is that the Israeli public and politicians will not accept many Israeli military or civilian casualties.

14th India-EU Summit: Partnership On Knowledge?
by Dr Sasmita Mohanty      


The focus area in the 14th summit is therefore free-trade negotiations, renewable energy and counter terrorism. What remains to be seen is that how far both the parties go in pursuing their mutual goal of transition to being global leaders in knowledge by collaborating on research and development creating platform for innovation. Results on these would be more concrete than mere paper work.




Violence & Peace Are Not Defined By Religion
by Neha Saigal 


The persecution of the rohingyas should be a lesson for us all that violence and peacefulness are not defined by a religion but rather by action. For those supporting the Indian Government’s decision to label all rohingyas as illegal immigrants are undermining India’s history of providing a safe space to refugees and allowing our country to commit this crime against humanity.




Kashmir: Who’s Chopping Women’s Braids And Why?
by Gowhar Naz 


It is a matter of utter shame and sheer failure of government to find the actual culprit and punish them. I know firmly that they will never take the strong steps to get the matter sorted as in the cry of the public lies their solace. They are the rulers of the dead and thus working on beheading the voice. Literally they can not behead so they devised a way to hurt the sentiments of the public by directly attacking the morality of females and chopping off their braids. This is not only inhuman but also inappropriate, but the deaf need blasts to hear and they by such irresponsible attitude towards such a serious issue are providing the base for arch blasts.




I Am The Last Crop
by Daipayan Nair 


My harvest without a red bell
From my farm
Beneath the well
Watching those eyes burn
Even when few clouds assist
And few turn soft pillows
Making it my debt
I am the last crop
