Mandated by the family court, they seek counselling from Dr. Satheesh Chandran, who introduces them to transformative psychological techniques rooted in NLP and TA.

India agrees to pull out soldiers from Maldives, says Muizzu

“We also agreed to set up a high level committee to solve issues related to development projects.” Muizzu made the remarks following engagements on the sidelines of the COP28 climate summit.

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu said on Sunday that the Indian government has agreed to withdraw its soldiers from the island nation.

Hours later, sources in New Delhi said the issue was briefly discussed in Dubai where he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussions on how to keep the Indian helicopters and operational aircraft were “ongoing” and “the core group that both sides have agreed to set up will look at details of how to take this forward”.

“In the discussions we had, the Indian government has agreed to remove Indian soldiers,” Muizzu told reporters in Male.

“We also agreed to set up a high level committee to solve issues related to development projects.” Muizzu made the remarks following engagements on the sidelines of the COP28 climate summit.

The island nation has two helicopters and an aircraft provided by India to the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) for emergency medical evacuations and disaster relief operations. There are 77 Indian military personnel in Maldives to operate these platforms.

Muizzu won the presidential election in September, having campaigned to change the Maldives’s “India first” policy and promised to remove a small presence of these 77 personnel.

While there was no official response from the Ministry of External Affairs in India, a source said, “We have seen reports about the status of Indian platforms in Maldives engaged in HADR (humanitarian and disaster relief) activities. The continued usefulness of the Indian platforms, as it was recognised in discussions, needs to be looked at from a proper perspective.”

How  did the global  media  react  to  Prime Minister  Modi’s victory in three  states?  

The  BJP’s  victory  in  the  three states  is  seen as an  extension  of  Prime Minister  Modi’s dominance and  strengthens  his chances in the 2024  general election.  

 Global media hailed the victory as  “an extension  of  Prime Minister  Modi’s  dominance”  after  the  BJP won three  out  of  four states declared on Sunday, adding that the  result was ” very important”  ahead of the  2019  Lok Sabha  elections.  

 The Washington Post praised the BJP’s huge  victories  in Madhya Pradesh,  Chhattisgarh  and Rajasthan, calling them  “very momentous”. 

  “This  crucial poll  pits  India’s opposition against  Prime Minister Narendra  Modi’s ruling party  ahead of  a crucial national election  next  year,”  the Washington Post  said  in its report.  

  International  media  said  that  Prime Minister  Modi’s  victory  in three states  will  give him a chance  to score  a hat-trick of  victories  and a third  consecutive term.  Al Jazeera  published  a report  titled  “India’s BJP wins three  out  of four state polls months before  national election”,  calling  the BJP’s  election victory  “historic and  never happend”.  

  British  news  agency Reuters called  the  election victory  a  “big boost”  for  Prime Minister  Modi ahead of  next year’s general election, with  the  article headline: “To motivate  Modi,  the  BJP  won wins  polls in three Indian states.” 

  “The  election results  show  the  mood  of voters  ahead of the national  election  in  May,  in which Modi is  aiming for  a third consecutive  term,” he said  in  his  report.  

 During the counting  of the  four Hindi-speaking states that voted in their assemblies last month, a saffron tsunami swept  across  the Hindi heartland. The BJP’s  astonishing run  in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan  has  not only  its opponents  but also some pollsters  predicting  tight races.  

 The election results  in the  four states, especially the  defeats  in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh,  have contributed significantly  to the Congress’s hopes for 2024 as  the party  is now out of power  in  a  wide area. big in  the Hindi heartland.  The  vote count  in Rajasthan showed  a  very  different picture than  some  polls  predicted, with 115 seats going to the BJP and 69  to  the Congress.  

 Chhattisgarh has 90  parliamentary  constituencies,  of which  54 belong to  the BJP and 35  belong to  the Congress.  

 Elections for Mizoram will be held on Monday, where the incumbent party is the Mizo National Front, a regional ally of the BJP. 

  One in six Indian voters cast ballots  in five state  legislative  elections last month, with more than 160 million people registered to vote.

Ensuring  national  security and prosperity requires a larger Indian  navy  

 The 1971 war saw the  full  participation of the Indian Navy in combat for the first time since independence. 

  The then Royal Indian Navy  first  celebrated Navy Day  on 21 October 1944. Since 1972, the Indian Navy (IN) has celebrated December 4 as Navy Day.  This  day was chosen to commemorate the  daring  and successful attack by IN missile boats on Karachi  port during  the 1971 Indo-Pak war  during  Operation Trident. The 1971 war saw the  full  participation of the Indian Navy in combat for the first time since independence. It was an unfortunate and short-sighted  decision by the  government  that prevented  the  IN from  demonstrating  its  strength  in the  war of 1965.  The actions of  the  IN on  the  West  and  East coasts  in 1971 made the world  aware  of our naval  power.  Over the  decades,  IN has grown  strongly  in  both  quality  and  quantity.  It is to the credit of  visionary naval  leaders  of the past who steadfastly led IN to become a capable and  influential  force, often  overcoming all  odds. 

  John Dalberg-Acton, the great historian and  philosopher, said: “History is not a burden to the memory but an enlightenment to the soul.” Unfortunately,  in the Indian context, our maritime history  has been pushed aside,  despite  our  glorious past dating back to 3000  BC.  

  Considerable  maritime activity  was  recorded  during  the Vedic  era  and the era of  the  Nandas, Mauryas,  Ashokas,  Guptas, Satavahanas, Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas, Zamorins and Marathas. Many of these kingdoms were  supported  by powerful navies. The defeat of the Marathas  put an end to  our glorious  navigation and  maritime  capabilities.  It  took nearly  two centuries  for India to  consider  itself  a  “maritime nation.”  However, the importance of the maritime  sector  for trade and security was not lost on some,  such as  Pandit Nehru and KM Panikkar, who advocated  having  a strong navy. The group of industrialists who  proposed  the Bombay Plan in 1944 also proposed a  powerful  navy. However,  Pakistan’s  invasion of Kashmir  soon  after independence had  the adverse  effect of  diverting  our attention and energies to the continental  domain  at the  expense  of the maritime  domain.  Even the fact that we are the only  country named  after  an ocean  has not really awakened  our maritime consciousness.  It is not surprising that  the Indian Navy was never considered a major instrument in our strategic  calculations until  the 1971 war. 

  India’s  naval power declined and  fell  into oblivion when foreign  powers, i.e. Europe,  came  to establish  control over the seas and trade routes  to  India, especially from  18th century onwards. Despite  the  brave and  persistent efforts of  the Indian Navy to  revive  our maritime culture and overcome  “maritime blindness”,  the nation and its strategic community  remain  largely  take the continent as the center.  

 Call it a twist of fate or  irony, but it was a foreign  power, specifically  China, that  partly revived  maritime consciousness  in  the strategic community in  India, when its strength, China’s growing maritime capabilities  and  power are becoming increasingly apparent.  In 1999,  not a single  ship  of the  People’s  Liberation Army Navy (PLAN)  had called  ports in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). These  currently affect  around  20 people a  year. While port visits by  military  ships  themselves  are  harmless, the PLAN’s  IOR  operations  are  designed  to  advance  their strategic interests,  but they are  not all  harmless.  IOR  currently has about 1,700  Chinese ships of all  types  in a month.  China’s growing presence  in the IOR includes PLAN warships, fishing vessels, survey  vessels,  and  intelligence gathering  vessels.  Similar  to  their behavior  in the South China Sea (SCS),  PLAN warships have  displayed aggressive behavior  even in the Indian Ocean. 

  Chinese satellite  tracking ships  regularly operate  in the IOR. Despite the COVID pandemic,  their average deployment  time in 2020-2021  was 82 days. On  average,  there are  about 240 Chinese fishing vessels  present in  the  IOR at any  time.  What is worrying is that  the Chinese maritime militia is also  operating  in the IOR.

India  will  outperform other  major  economies in FY24 

 The GDP  figures released  on  Thursday  surprised all  economic experts  who  predicted 6.8%  growth this  quarter.  

  India’s  gross domestic product (GDP) growth in  Q2FY24 is  expected to be good  –  and this  has been  indicated by Reserve Bank of  India  (RBI)  Governor  Shaktikanta Das  for  about a  month.  

 Speaking at a media event on October 31, he  noted  that the  country’s second-quarter  growth  rate  would surprise everyone  with its increase,  and he was right. The GDP  figures released  on  Thursday  surprised all  economic experts  who  predicted 6.8%  growth this  quarter. However, the  actual  figure  of  7.6% is contrary to  all  predictions. Signs  of this kind of growth  were  quite evident when the government  announced  monthly  Goods and Services Tax (GST)  collection figures  on November 1, 2023.  Monthly  GST  collections reflect  actual business  activity The economy increased sharply  in October this  year.  year  reached  ₹1.72 lakh crore, the second highest monthly collection since the  start of the  new indirect tax regime  in July 2017.  Besides,  the  growth rate  of  Core  Industrial Production  index ( IIP)  averaged 9.7% in the second quarter of  fiscal 2024,  and  PMIs –  both manufacturing and services  –  also showed high  levels, averaging  57.9 and  61.1  respectively. 

  Thus,  India continues its  journey  to become  the fastest growing major economy  in  the world. And this growth momentum  continues.  This was reflected in a recent report. 

  S&P Global  Ratings’  credit analysis report  –  “China  slows,  India  grows”  –  indicated  earlier this week  that  the  growth  driver for Asia-Pacific is  expected to shift  away  from China to South  Asia  and Southeast Asia, with India  in a prime position  to see its GDP  grow at  7% by 2026. And  that’s obvious. 

  India’s  growth story is also  important  because it  takes place  against a  challenging  global  backdrop.  Union  Finance Minister  Nirmala Sitharaman  said  earlier this week  that global headwinds are  negatively  affecting  the  Indian  economy,  but domestic  strength is  supporting  India’s strong  growth.  She said India’s  large  domestic market,  the  purchasing power of its middle  class  and stable policies continue to drive  economic growth, despite global headwinds and  local challenges. politics.  HT  reported  this  on Tuesday.  

 Commenting on the latest GDP  figures,  Chief  Economic Advisor  V Anantha Nageswaran on Thursday said  the growth prospects of the Indian economy  look bright, although  external factors  pose  downside  risks .  He  also praised  the  government’s  policies to  sustain  high  growth, including heavy  capital expenditure, expansion of public digital platforms,  Prime Minister  GatiShakti, National Logistics  Policy  and  programs production incentives  (PLI)  involved. 

  Indeed,  the 7.6% GDP growth in  the  second quarter coupled with the remarkably high  growth rate  of 7.8%  in the first quarter  constitutes  a major achievement.  This turned  out to be a bigger  achievement,  mainly because  second-quarter  growth  benefited from a significant  contribution  from India’s  strong manufacturing sector.

  With appropriate  policies and  adjusted  incentives, the government has achieved  7.7% GDP growth in the first half of 2023-24.  Given its  lead over other major economies, India is likely to outperform other  major  economies in  FY24 overall.
