Ties with Bangladesh
By Dr Arvind Kumar
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s two-day visit to Bangladesh on 6-7 September 2011 is expected to provide further impetus to the process of consolidation of friendly relations set in motion by the visit of bangladesh Prime Minister in January 2010 and exchange of other high-level visits between New Delhi and Dhaka in recent months. While negotiating different agreements on sharing of waters and border trade between the two countries, the Indian side should not ignore the interests of the neighbouring sitates on the Indian side of the border. The growing trade imbalance in India’s favour should be brought on even scales keeping in view the Bangla sensitivities as well as the tirade of opposition parties to embarrass the present ruling dispensatiuon in Dhaka. More attention should be focused in securing India’s startegic interests with due consideration to Bangladesh sensitivities.
India’s has to be vigilant against China’s growing influence in its neighbourhood. Undoubtedly, China-obssession should not be the hallmark of India’s policy towards its immediate neighbours; nevertheless, New Delhi should convey its concerns to the particular neighbour in this regard. While accommodating Bangladesh’s genuine concerns and requirements, emphasis should be on promotion of peace and tranquility along the bordering areas. A stable, secular, and peaceful Bangladesh is India’s interests. It is hoped that the ongoing visit of India’s Prime Minister to Bangladesh will prove instrumental in cementing friendly ties between New Delhi and Dhaka.

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment Plastic is like a common commodity which is essential in our daily lives. Bakelite, nylon and rubber are some examples of synthetic plastics. Almost everything is made of plastic! They are very convenient to use because of their malleability and plasticity. They can be easily moulded by heating. Plastic product may be non-toxic, but some small amounts of the chemicals remain trapped in the product. As a result, when these plastics come in contact with food stuffs, the chemicals mix with the food which we subsequently consume. Plastics are non-biodegradable solids. When we burnt, they release some toxic fumes which cause ozone depletion and pollution; many chemicals are released into the air as well as into water. All these bear hazardous environmental consequences. Plastics are made of crude oil and can be used as fuel. One litter of hydrocarbon is produced from one kilogram of plastic waste.

Dispel Darkness of Ignorance This Diwali By Dr Arvind Kumar Asato maa sadgamaya Tamaso maa jyotirgamaya M ṛ ityor maa am ṛ itan gamaya Om shaanti shaanti shaanti “From the unreal, lead us to the Real; from darkness, lead us unto Light; from death, lead us to Immortality. Om peace, peace, peace.” Lighting the lamp of true knowledge to dispel darkness of ignorance looming large on our minds is the need of the day. On this festive occasion of Diwali, let’s pray to God: `Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya’ (Lead me from darkness unto light). Without emphasizing the obvious we may say that it is the inner darkness that needs to be dispelled. When the pall of ignorance envelops the inner self, and the individual loses his sense of direction, his mind becomes numb and he loses his mental equilibrium. He fails to tell what is right and what is wrong. He becomes aimless and rudderless. He is caught in the whirlpool of false beliefs and superstitions leading to observance of meani
