China Vs India: it is true that India will finally win for the simple reason that India is not a sprinter but a long distance runner.

India and China Both has cultural history of Innocent time. India has three things which will stand for it in good stead. They all have to do with innovation and creativity because only those nations will survive and succeed in the 21st century which are great in innovation and creativity. So, what are those three things?

These are  three Ds: Democracy, Demography and Diversity. Democracy gives us the  ability to think free, act free. And we have a great democracy in the country, somewhat chaotic, but still we are democratic and that is going to make a huge difference. The second is “Demography”.  I just mentioned that almost half of our population is less than 25 years. In Shanghai, within the next five years, one third of the population will be more than 60 years because of the one child policy that they followed at some point in time. Innovation is the business of the young.  Therefore being a nation of the young is going to make a lot of difference. And the third is “Diversity”. Look at the diversity from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, in our culture, in our language and so on. And when there is diversity, innovation thrives.

So there are three fector described, believe me,  that are going to stand us in good stead but you know what is most important thing is that the democracy we have, has to be an enlightened democracy and not “chaotic”. Our demography has to be one where these young people have to be given an opportunity to grow, opportunity to reach their potential otherwise it will become a liability. And the diversity that we have, we have to always make sure that we manage the “unity in diversity” as we have managed over a period of time without factions. So Democracy, Demography and Diversity are India’s three great advantages over China.

Russian Army in Syria battle ground : War against ISIS

Latest,  we know about ISIS activity, this terror group very quickly spread in Syria, Afganistan, Turki and many others asian region. According to NBC news reporter Israel said on Sunday that an Arab citizen had used a para-glider to fly illegally into neighboring Syria, where he planned to join Islamic State insurgents in the four-year-old rebellion against Syria President Bashar al-Assad.

The man's flight on Saturday across the fortified Golan Heights frontier jarred Israel, which has seen dozens of its minority Muslim Arabs or Palestinians from East Jerusalem reach the Syrian civil war through legal destinations such as Turkey.

The Israeli military, whose aircraft dropped illumination flares around the Golan overnight before calling off the searches on Sunday, issued brief statements describing the paraglider as an Arab from the predominantly Muslim town of Jaljulia. He was not named. Israeli media gave his age as 23.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the man's citizenship would be revoked as part of a wider policy against militants.

A minister from Netanyahu's rightist Likud party, Ofir Akunis, told reporters that the Israeli Arab had "crossed to the border into Syria ... to join ISIS forces".  
According to CIA" The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency said, that the number of foreign fighters who went to Syria and Iraq to fight with the ISIS has reached more than 30,000 fighters.

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to the “New York Times,” announced that: “About 30,000 terrorists have went to Syria and Iraq since 2011,” noting that, “The number of terrorists who hold U.S. citizenship amounted to 250 fighters.”

According to intelligence reports, the foreign fighters are belonging to more than 100 countries. India, Pakistan, Afganistan, United States, Britain and some arab Country.

According to Iraqi News"  More than 10,000 ISIS fighters have been killed since the U.S.-led international coalition started its air campaign against the militant group in Iraq and Syria nine months ago, according to the U.S. deputy secretary of state, Antony Blinken.

Speaking after a number of leaders from more than 20 countries met in Paris for discussions on how to fight the ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria, Blinken pointed out that there had been a great deal of progress but the militant group remained resilient and capable of taking the initiative.

“We have seen a lot of losses within Daesh [Isis] since the start of this campaign, more than 10,000,” Blinken told France Inter radio on Wednesday. “It will end up having an impact.”

“We have conceived a three-year plan and we’re nine months into it,” he said. 

I follow events almost minute to minute but find it difficult to make strategic sense out of many of them. It’s why I pity the layman observer who gets his morning dose of news and cannot reflect deep enough on them. I have no doubt that West Asia continues to occupy the core center of strategic affairs in the world and competing centres in Central Asia and the South China Sea are yet many light years behind. Rebalancing is fine as a concept and the US may keep trying to dilute the significance of the region by simply trying to ignore it but as things stand its attention will not wane. A review of the situation after the unexpected entry of Russia into the war zone is necessary to make any sense of what is happening.

The Russians came in for a variety of reasons. It may be good for clarity to be military like in bulleting these.

Firstly, Russia believes that the West was just not serious about defeating the ISIS. The US and its allies prefer a policy of drift allowing the emasculation of Bashir Assad and then effecting regime change. The larger picture of victory of the so called moderates without a simultaneous victory of the ISIS against Assad is their hope and aim which is unachievable. Besides what the eventual color of the moderates, who are supported by non ISIS groups such as Al Nusra and Al Qaida, will be is unpredictable.

Third, the lack of focused action would give scope to ISIS to expand its activities to Afghanistan and thence to Central Asia. With the situation in Af-Pak none too certain the ISIS is bound to take advantage of the turbulence. Its move into Central Asia will have severely negative effects on Russia’s near abroad region.

Fourth, the only Russian military facility yet intact in West Asia is the port city of Latakia in Syria and its hold over that for the sake of control of the West Mediterranean is essential. The fighting was getting dangerously close to this facility and therefore ‘depth’ had to be afforded to it to keep it from harm’s way. Bashir Assad’s defeat and fall would have meant the end of Russian military presence.

Fifth, Putin probably believed that after Ukraine where he had scored diplomatically this was the opportunity to demonstrate the resurgence of Russia. During 2008 when it had conducted operations in Ossetia the West had reported the pathetic state of equipment and weaponry of the Russian Army. It was important to break the perception that Russia was militarily regressing and weak.

Nalanda University in Indian Culture

तुर्की के मुस्लिम शासक बख्तियार खिलजी का जब यहां शासन था तो उसने नालंदा यूनिवर्सिटी में आग लगवा दी थी। यहां के पुस्तकालय में इतनी पुस्तकें थी कि पूरे तीन महीने तक आग धधकती रही। खिलजी यहीं नहीं रुका उसने यहां के कई धर्माचार्य और बौद्ध भिक्षुओं की हत्या करा दी।
खिलजी का पूरा नाम इख्तियारुद्दीन मुहम्मद बिन बख्तियार खिलजी था। खिलजी ने उत्तर भारत में बौद्धों द्वारा शासित कुछ क्षेत्रों पर कब्जा कर लिया था। इतिहासकार विश्व प्रसिद्ध नालंदा यूनिवर्सिटी को जलाने के पीछे जो वजह बताते हैं उसके अनुसार एक समय बख्तियार खिलजी बहुत ज्यादा बीमार पड़ गया। उसका काफी इलाज किया गया पर कोई फायदा नहीं हुआ। तब उसे नालंदा यूनिवर्सिटी के आयुर्वेद विभाग के प्रमुख आचार्य राहुल श्रीभद्रजी से उपचार कराने की सलाह दी गई। उसने आचार्य राहुल को बुलवा लिया तथा इलाज से पहले शर्त लगा दी की वह किसी हिंदुस्तानी दवाई का सेवन नहीं करेगा। उसने कहा कि अगर वह ठीक नहीं हुआ तो आचार्य की हत्या करवा देगा।

अगले दिन आचार्य उसके पास कुरान लेकर गए और कहा कि कुरान के पेज नंबर इतने से इतने तक रोज पढ़िए ठीक हो जाएंगे। उसने ऐसा ही किया और ठीक हो गया। अपने ठीक होने की उसे खुशी नहीं हुई उसको बहुत गुस्सा आया कि उसके हकीमों से इन भारतीय वैद्यों का ज्ञान श्रेष्ठ क्यों है। बौद्ध धर्म और आयुर्वेद का एहसान मानने के बदले उसने 1199 में नालंदा यूनिवर्सिटी में ही आग लगवा दी। वहां इतनी पुस्तकें थीं कि तीन महीने तक यहां से धुआं उठता रहा। उसने हजारों धर्माचार्यों और बौद्ध भिक्षुओं की हत्या करा दी। खिलजी के ठीक होने की जो वजह बताई जाती है वह यह है कि वैद्यराज राहुल श्रीभद्र ने कुरान के कुछ पेज के कोने पर एक दवा का अदृश्य लेप लगा दिया था। वह थूक के साथ मात्र दस बीस पेज चाट गया और ठीक हो गया। उसने इस एहसान का बदला नालंदा को जलाकर दिया।

नालंदा उस समय भारत में उच्च शिक्षा का महत्वपूर्ण और विश्व विख्यात केन्द्र था। महायान बौद्ध धर्म के इस शिक्षा-केन्द्र में हीनयान बौद्धधर्म के साथ ही अन्य धर्मों के तथा अनेक देशों के छात्र पढ़ते थे। अलेक्जेंडर कनिंघम द्वारा खोजे गई इस बौद्ध यूनिवर्सिटी के अवशेष इसके प्राचीन वैभव का अंदाज करा देते हैं। सातवीं सदी में भारत भ्रमण के लिए आए चीनी यात्री ह्वेनसांग तथा इत्सिंग के यात्रा विवरणों से इस यूनिवर्सिटी के बारे में विस्तार से जानकारी मिलती है। चीनी यात्री ह्वेनसांग ने सातवीं शताब्दी में यहां जीवन का एक साल एक स्टूडेंट और एक टीचर के रूप में व्यतीत किया था। प्रसिद्ध ‘बौद्ध सारि पुत्र’ का जन्म भी यहीं पर हुआ था। स्थापना व संरक्षण इस यूनिवर्सिटी की स्थापना का श्रेय गुप्त शासक कुमार गुप्त प्रथम को जाता है। इस यूनिवर्सिटी को कुमार गुप्त के उत्तराधिकारियों का पूरा सहयोग मिला। गुप्तवंश के पतन के बाद भी आने वाले सभी शासक वंशों ने इसकी समृद्धि में अपना योगदान दिया। इसे सम्राट हर्षवर्द्धन और पाल शासकों का भी संरक्षण मिला।

नालंदा को स्थानीय शासकों और भारत की दूसरी रियासतों के साथ ही कई विदेशी शासकों से भी अनुदान मिलता था। यह विश्व की पहली पूर्णतः आवासीय यूनिवर्सिटी थी। उस समय इसमें स्टूडेंट्स की संख्या करीब 10,000 और टीचर्स की संख्या 2000 थी। यहां भारत से ही नहीं कोरिया, जापान, चीन, तिब्बत, इंडोनेशिया, फारस तथा तुर्की से भी स्टूडेंट पढ़ने आते थे।

नालंदा के स्नातक बाहर जाकर बौद्ध धर्म का प्रचार करते थे। इस विश्वविद्यालय की नौवीं से बारहवीं सदी तक अंतर्राराष्ट्रीय ख्याति रही थी। विश्वविद्यालय स्थापत्य कला का अद्भुत नमूना था। इसका पूरा परिसर एक विशाल दीवार से घिरा हुआ था जिसमें प्रवेश के लिए एक मुख्य द्वार था। उत्तर से दक्षिण की ओर मठों की कतार थी और उनके सामने अनेक भव्य स्तूप और मंदिर थे। मंदिरों में बुद्ध भगवान की मूर्तियां स्थापित थीं। केन्द्रीय विद्यालय में सात बड़े कक्ष थे और इसके अलावा तीन सौ अन्य कमरे थे। इनमें व्याख्यान हुआ करते थे।

यहां हुई खुदाई में तेरह मठ मिले हैं। वैसे इससे भी अधिक मठों के होने की संभावना है। मठ एक से अधिक मंजिल के होते थे। कमरे में सोने के लिए पत्थर की चौकी होती थी। दीपक, पुस्तक इत्यादि रखने के लिए आले बने हुए थे। प्रत्येक मठ के आंगन में एक कुआं बना था। आठ विशाल भवन, दस मंदिर, अनेक प्रार्थना कक्ष तथा अध्ययन कक्ष के अलावा इस परिसर में सुंदर बगीचे तथा झीलें भी थी।

विश्वविद्यालय का प्रबंध कुलपति या प्रमुख आचार्य करते थे जो भिक्षुओं द्वारा निर्वाचित होते थे। कुलपति दो परामर्शदात्री समितियों के परामर्श से सारा प्रबंध करते थे। प्रथम समिति शिक्षा तथा पाठ्यक्रम संबंधी कार्य देखती थी और द्वितीय समिति सारे विश्वविद्यालय की आर्थिक व्यवस्था तथा प्रशासन की देखभाल करती थी। विश्वविद्यालय को दान में मिले दो सौ गांवों से प्राप्त उपज और आय की देखरेख यही समिति करती थी। विश्वविद्यालय में तीन श्रेणियों के आचार्य थे जो अपनी योग्यतानुसार प्रथम, द्वितीय और तृतीय श्रेणी में आते थे। नालंदा के प्रसिद्ध आचार्यों में शीलभद्र, धर्मपाल, चंद्रपाल, गुणमति और स्थिरमति प्रमुख थे।

ह्वेनसांग के समय इस विश्व विद्यालय के प्रमुख शीलभद्र थे। प्रसिद्ध भारतीय गणितज्ञ एवं खगोलज्ञ आर्य भट भी इस विश्वविद्यालय के प्रमुख रहे थे। यहां प्रवेश लेने के लिए कठिन परीक्षा होती थी। उन्हें तीन कठिन परीक्षा स्तरों को पास करना होता था। आचार्य छात्रों को मौखिक व्याख्यान देकर शिक्षा देते थे।

नालंदा कि खुदाई में मिली अनेक कांसे की मूर्तियोँ के आधार पर कुछ विद्वानों का मत है कि धातु की मूर्तियां बनाने के विज्ञान का भी अध्ययन होता था। यहां खगोलशास्त्र अध्ययन के लिए एक विशेष विभाग था। नालंदा में हजारो विद्यार्थियों और आचार्यों के अध्ययन के लिए, नौ तल का एक बहुत बड़ा पुस्तकालय था जिसमें तीन लाख से अधिक पुस्तके थीं। इस पुस्तकालय में सभी विषयों से संबंधित पुस्तकें थी।
