Maoists in Bihar recently not only killed 10 policemen in an encounter with with Bihar Police, but also captured four of them alive after a six-hour-long gunfight in a forested area of Bihar’s Lakhisarai district, police said Monday, 30th August 2010.

While massive search and rescue operation has been launched by Police, one body of captured Police has been recovered. Maoists have been demanding release of their eight arrested comrades in return for the captured police men.

Maoists claim that they had attacked and killed Bihar Police in retaliation to killing of their leader Azad along with a reporter in Andhra Pradesh few weeks back. The death of Azad has created quite controversy while Mamta Banerjee, TMC ( Trinamul Congress) Chief and Cabinet Railway Minister has recently demanded high level probe into the Azad killing.

It may be mentioned that, Bihar is going to polls later in this year and all political parties are trying not to anger Maoists, it seems.

Bihar ( a state in Eastern India) chief minister has stated that, Maoists are part of our society! While many may feel this statement to be appeasing masses as the state election is nearing in Bihar, but it may have some truth in it. Most probably, that explains why there are many highly educated urban youths are found to be in Maoists ranks!

‘Naxal elements are a part of our society even though they have been misled into following the path of violence,’ Nitish Kumar said in his address at the meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with chief ministers of Maoist-affected states.

‘Enforcement action alone leads to wider alienation, making heroes out of the leaders of the extremist organisations and leads to only symptomatic treatment, leaving the underlined disease to reappear in a more virulent form,’ he said.

The chief minister said leftwing extremism should be tackled through ‘sustained development but this needs the centre’s supportive approach to states like Bihar’.

He advocated an ‘integrated approach’ between states to deal with the problem.

He said that central government was not cooperating with his government over the demands for more paramilitary troopers.

‘Bihar has not received the requisite support from the central government,’ he said.

Naxalites guerillas ambushed a team of security personnel in the restive Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh, killing at least 26 jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and injuring over a dozen others on 30th June 2010.

The incident took place at about 3 pm in Jharaghati area between Dhaurai and Gawadi, about 250 km south-west from here.

A senior official in the police headquarters here said that about 70 jawans of the 39th battalion of CRPF left the Dhaurai police station this morning for road opening duty. As the jawans reached the spot, the rebels opened indiscriminate fire at them. The CRPF jawans who were accompanied by the Special Task Force and Special Police Officers took the position and returned fire after suffering heavy casualty.

The senior police officials here confirmed the death of 26 jawans and said the toll could go up as many jawans injured in the attack were in critical condition.

This is the second biggest attack on the CRPF that had been deployed in the Naxal-infested areas to combat the red army. On April 6, the rebels ambushed a CRPF party in Dantewada district, killing 75 jawans in the biggest Naxal attack on the security personnel in the country.

Naxalites are killing CRPF men at will almost. While Indian Government looks like it has no clue how to tackle Naxalites threat to the country.

ULFA ( United Liberation Front of Assam), an insurgent group active in Indian state of Assam, had been fighting for independent Assam since 1979. During this period, it had got almost 80% of its top leaders arrested by Indian security forces and are lodged in Guwahati ( state Capital of Assam). But Paresh BArua, the self styled ‘commander-in-chief’ of ULFA’s military wing has been absconding and without his arrest or surrender, ULFA is considered to be powerful enough to disturb peace in Assam.

Indian government has been trying to engage ULFA for negotiation for long time now. ULFA is one of the few insurgent groups in North East India, which has not come to negotiation table with Indian government even for once. Though there have been ceasefire many times before between ULFA and Indian security forces, but there was never any negotiation between them.

Recently, Assam government has allowed its top leaders to get bail un-opposed! Many see this as conciliatory gesture by government for paving way for negotiations. ULFA’s vice chairman Pradip Gogoi and Publicity Secretary Mithinga Daimary have been granted bail by Guwahati city court. Few days ago, ULFA adviser Bhimkanta Buragohain alias MAMA was transferred to Guwahati Jail where all other ULF’s top leaders including its founder chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa are lodged.

Here is the news :
Guwahati: Signalling the government’s keenness to give momentum to the peace overtures that it has been indulging the ULFA with, a special anti-terror court here Tuesday released on bail top commanders Pradip Gogoi and Mithinga Daimary. The banned outfit’s vice-chairman Pradip Gogoi was granted bail by the TADA court here in all six cases lodged against him paving way for his immediate release. Source.

There has been great deal of talking on Indo-Pak talks recently. One would be surprised to know that, no matter what would be the outcome of the talk, the talk itself generates much debate. One would be amazed to see talks on the talk like this:-
“It is India which blinks on Indo-Pak talks”, says Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi just hours after India proposes secretary level talks! Also, it is interesting, Indian media picks up those lines and promptly put them on their headlines!

Such is the talk on Indo-Pak talks!

It can be mentioned that, Pakistan has been pressing India for resumption of talks for long time now which was suspended by India soon after 26 Nov 2008 attack on Mumbai by Pakistan based terrorists.

Here is interesting news on talks on Indo-Pak talks! Do not forget to read user comments below that news article on Times Of India:-

ISLAMABAD: Hours after India proposed dates for foreign secretary-level talks, Pakistan has claimed that it was New Delhi which had blinked not Islamabad. Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that it was India which had talked about breaking their “relationship” with us and their turning their back on us.

“But two days ago, India has approached and said they want to sit and talk to us and want to resume their relationship with us,” Qureshi told a public meeting in Multan in Punjab on Sunday. Source.

There has been many attacks on Indians in Australian cities recently and it has been widely reported in all national India Medias.

Finally, Indian officials have conveyed “absolute displeasure and concern” to Australia over unabated attacks on Indians and asked Australian government’s to get its acts together. While Indian media and Indian official have been maintaining that, these attacks are racial in nature, ( “curry bashing” has recently got notoriety) Australian officials have maintained that these are not ‘racial nature’ but normal criminal activities.

Indian government has given out “travel advisory” against traveling to Australia due to these “racial attacks”. It is reported that, there has been steep decrease in number of applications to Australian universities from India this year.

I find it interesting that a country like Australia which has very strict ‘anti racial’ policies, Indian students are being targeted with many ‘criminal’ attacks resulting in few deaths.

Here is the latest news about the “Indian attacked in Australia” news:-

NEW DELHI: India has conveyed its “absolute displeasure and concern” to Australia over unabated attacks on Indians there and asked that government to “get its act together” to bring the perpetrators of the assaults to book. Stating this on Friday, minister of state for external affairs Praneet Kaur also termed the latest attack on a cab driver there and the incident of fire in a Gurudwara as unfortunate. “We are doing our utmost to register our absolute displeasure and concern about what is happening to our citizens in Australia,” Kaur said, adding that “I think almost on a daily basis the situation is being monitored.” Source.

So, finally, India too has joined the nations who are trying to make outer space their next symbol of supremacy and joins the space war. on the occasion of 97th Indian science congress being held in Thiruvanathapuram, Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO) Director General V K Saraswat has informed news persons that “India is putting together building blocks of technology that could be used to neutralise enemy satellites”.

It must be mentioned that, in 2007, China destroyed its own ageing weather satellite Fengyun 1C orbiting at a distance of 500 miles away from the earth using a missile. China was the first nation to destroy its own satellite using a missile. This has alarmed USA so much that it had also destroyed its own non-functional spy satellite to demonstrate its capability to the world!

It is 2010 and India too have declared publicly that, it is also building “killer vehicles” which will destroy enemy satellites in the space high above earth!

No doubt, in near future, security of satellites would be major issue for all powerful nations which would try to disrupt ‘enemy satellites’ trying to cripple communications. But, destroying each others satellite in space may not be a healthy sign for human civilisation. After all, nobody is actually sure who owns space!

Here is the news about India trying to develop capability to destroy enemy satellites:-

Indian defence scientists are readying a weapons system to neutralise enemy satellites operating in low-earth orbit, a top defence scientist said here on Sunday.
“India is putting together building blocks of technology that could be used to neutralise enemy satellites,” Defence Research and Development Organisation Director General V K Saraswat told reporters on the sidelines of the 97th Indian Science Congress. Source.

Recent news says that India, along with other developing nations like China, Brazil and South Africa would be walking out of Copenhagen conference on climate change next month. This was disclosed by Indian minister for environment and forests (independent charge), Mr. Jairam Ramesh in Beijing.

This development can be seen as retaliatory measure by BASIC ( Brazil, India, South Africa and China) countries amidst report that rich nations led by Denmark are trying to set the agenda of the conference by presenting a draft containing a set of specific proposals.

This may result in interesting show down in the next month’s climate change conference. Most probably, developing nations are now asserting themselves, specially with strong economic performances by developing nations, led by China and India. While rich nations are not doing well economically.

Here is the news :

BEIJING: In an unprecedented move, India on Saturday joined China and two other developing countries to prepare for a major offensive on rich nations at the Copenhagen conference on climate change next month.

The four countries, which include Brazil and South Africa, agreed to a strategy that involves jointly walking out of the conference if the developed nations try to force their own terms on the developing world, Jairam Ramesh, the Indian minister for environment and forests (independent charge), said.
