In 2006, the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had described the naxal insurgency as the biggest internal security threat for the country. Eleven years later, Monday's attack on CRPF jawans in Sukma underlines that the situation has not changed for better, particularly in Chhattisgarh. 24 CRPF jawans lost their lives.

China's first domestically built aircraft carrier is seen during its launch ceremony at Dalian in Liaoning province on April 26, 2017. (Reuters) China on Wednesday launched its second aircraft carrier, the first one to be built entirely at home, boosting its naval capabilities against the backdrop of concerns that the country is flexing its muscles in disputed waters such as the South China Sea.

The giant vessel slid into the water after a ribbon was cut and a champagne bottle was broken on its bow as steam whistles from nearby ships went off. The Type 001A vessel, yet to be named, is China’s second aircraft carrier. The first was the Liaoning, which was made in the erstwhile Soviet Union and was extensively refurbished before being commissioned in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (...

MOSCOW (Sputnik), Tommy Yang — US President Donald Trump is unlikely to launch a preemptive strike against North Korea despite his hawkish rhetoric and numerous threats of military actions after apparently convincing China to cooperate on the issue, experts told Sputnik.

In his most recent telephone conversation with the US president on Monday morning, Chinese President Xi Jinping once again expressed his willingness to cooperate on North Korea.

A fresh controversy to grip the Sabarimala Temple this year is a picture tweeted by T G Mohandas, the convener of BJP’s intelligence cell that shows some women being spotted in the sanctum sanctorum. This controversy comes close on heels when many women launched a campaign called #Readytowait which meant that they would wait until they hit menopause to be allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum to pay respects to Lord Ayyappa who is considered as a ‘naishtika brahmachari’ (perennial celibate) by devotees. The picture which went viral on the social media with claims like the women in the picture do not look like they were 50 led the authorities to launch an investigation into the matter. The Sabarimala temple located in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district does not allow the entry of women between the ages of 10-50. Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran ordered the Devaswom Vigilance to initiate an investigation into the claims that a Kollam-based businessman was granted special privile...

Earlier today, Windows Central leaked a document detailing Microsoft’s grand plan to take on the Chromebook. The company is reportedly releasing a variant of its main OS called Windows 10 Cloud or Windows 10 S, which can only run apps downloaded from the Windows Store. These can be legacy apps, mind you, but they can only be downloaded from the official Windows Store. In doing so, Microsoft is able to better regulate which apps users download and emphasize software optimized for low power consumption. Considering Microsoft is holding an event on May 2 that’s focused on education – and that Chromebooks have become immensely popular in schools – Windows 10 Cloud seems practically a given. But taking on the Chromebook is not going to be easy.

New Delhi: Claiming that Hindu scriptures do not term eating beef as a crime, a veteran NCP leader has challenged RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to debate on the issue.Bhagwat had recently sought a pan-India ban on cow slaughter. NCP general secretary D P Tripathi termed the activities of cow vigilante groups as "anti-Hindu" and claimed that had it been possible for them, these groups would have "jailed even the likes of Swami Vivekananda" for their views on beef and meat. "Nowhere in the Vedas it is written that eating beef is a crime. It is not there in the shastras, the Vedas. I challenge Bhagwat or any of his representatives to come and a debate on the basis of all Hindu scriptures," the Rajya Sabha member argued. Claiming that 80 per cent of the countrymen, including a majority of Hindus, eat meat, Tripathi said Bhagwat's idea of having a ban on cow slaughter is against the spirit of the Constitution. He claimed Swami Vivekananda, whom Prime Minist...

Lodhi said that Pakistan wants a negotiated peace in Afghanistan and asked the new U.S. administration back a peace process in the war-torn country. 

At a place ravaged by a political conflict, a new war is ravaging the virtual space, especially for the last two days. It obviously is an extension of the ideological split that the political landscape is undergoing and which was at full display last week when Central Kashmir stayed away from democracy’s most vital process - the elections. Video grab of dozen men of government forces beating a youth ruthlessly Now the two sides are using force to convey the message and outwit each other in the virtual world. That obviously has its own impact on the festering situation but nobody seems to be caring. It all started with three videos that took the virtual world by a storm. The first one, a high definition capsule, showed a group of soldiers ruthlessly beating a young man. The youth is crying like hell as the soldiers are asking him uncomfortable questions about his Aazadi demand. It triggered a fierce reaction across Kashmir, of anger and hate. Video grab of cops beating youth, ask...

"The worst thing that can happen in a democracy-as well as in an individual’s life – is to become cynical about the future and lose hope". George Bernard Shaw in one of his beautiful sayings tries to sum-up the meaning of election. To quote Shaw "An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it." Coming directly to the by-election in our state, it seems Bernard Shah is quite relevant, the elections in Jammu and Kashmir are held right from 1952 i.e. from constituent assembly to current parliamentary one.

New Delhi: Hinting at sabotage behind the Rajya Rani Express derailment, the Railways on Saturday said defects in the track could be due to "extraneous factors" as they could not develop suddenly.A three-foot portion of the railway track was found missing, the police had said earlier. "The track was tested on February 27 using ultrasonic flaw detectors (USFD) and no defect was found. So, the possibility of involvement of extraneous factors in causing damage to the track cannot be ruled out," said a source in the railway ministry. The next USFD test of the track is due on April 27 as the automatic test of railway tracks is done every two months. Track fracture is either caused by poor maintenance or there can also be man-made factors which can be termed as "extraneous" or "sabotage". Besides, the source said, five trains had passed over the track prior to the ill-fated Rajya Rani Express and the loco pilots of those trains had not reported a...

Beijing: China said on Friday tension over North Korea had to be stopped from reaching an "irreversible and unmanageable stage" as a US aircraft carrier group steamed toward the region amid fears the North may conduct a sixth nuclear weapons test. Concern has grown since the US Navy fired 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airfield last week in response to a deadly gas attack, raising questions about US President Donald Trump's plans for North Korea, which has conducted missile and nuclear tests in defiance of UN and unilateral sanctions. The United States has warned that a policy of "strategic patience" is over. US Vice President Mike Pence travels to South Korea on Sunday on a long-planned 10-day trip to Asia.

On the campaign trail, candidate Donald Trump called NATO “obsolete.” This week, with the NATO secretary general standing next to him at a White House news conference, President Trump did a complete reversal, saying, “It’s no longer obsolete.” Candidate Trump regularly denounced China as a currency manipulator. But days after his summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Trump said the exact opposite. “They’re not currency manipulators,” he told The Wall Street Journal. These and other presidential policy zigzags are the talk of Washington’s political elites. The Washington Post recently declared Trump “the king of flip-flops.” There is almost daily commentary arguing that the first weeks of his presidency have revealed a leader with a weak understanding of geopolitics, struggling with critical issues such as the workings of the NATO alliance. “He’s been mugged by reality,” one commentator said. In an article published Thursday, however, the Post noted that the ...

IT professionals who want help getting a handle on a potential cloud migration have a new tool from Microsoft. The company is offering a Cloud Migration Assessment service that walks customers through an evaluation of the resources they currently use, in order to determine what a move to the cloud would cost. Microsoft’s cost calculation is driven in part by the Azure Hybrid Use Benefit , which lets customers apply their existing Windows Server licenses with Software Assurance to virtual machines running in Microsoft’s cloud. That means customers only have to pay the base price for the compute resources they use. Also starting Wednesday, all customers can invoke the discount from the Azure Management Portal.

Others had to use Azure PowerShell to configure the discounts. The moves are part of Microsoft’s overall push to get its enterprise ...

London [UK], April 12 (ANI): British scientists have found sarin gas samples taken from a site of a recent chemical gas attack in Syria. Britain's UN Ambassador Sir Matthew Rycroft informed the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) that the samples taken from the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun and analysed by British scientists had tested positive for sarin or a sarin-like substance, reports the Independent. Sarin, or GB, is a colorless and odorless liquid, used as a chemical weapon due to its extreme potency as a nerve agent. It is generally considered a weapon of mass destruction "The United Kingdom, therefore, shares the U.S. assessment that it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun on April 4," said Rycroft. The majority of the international community has blamed the attack, which killed 87 people, including many children, on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Turkey has also claimed to have found evidence of sarin...
