3. NARI SHAKTI AT GANATANTRA DIWAS PARADE: Bharat's women power was on full display at the 66th Republic Day parade in New Delhi with US President Barack Obama as the chief guest.

4. A NEW BEGINNING: Obama’s visit resolves hurdles, things are moving again in India-US relationship
There was a time when policy paralysis at home was reflected in a logjam in India’s US ties. President Obama’s second India visit and evident bonhomie on display signal that the logjam is broken and a new beginning has been made. Given that India’s draconian civil liability legislation for nuclear power plants led to a great deal of heartburn in the US, the new synergy was best exemplified by the breakthrough in civil nuclear cooperation between the two countries.
India has proposed to set up an insurance pool of Rs 1,500 crore to cushion suppliers’ liability in the event of accidents. With the administrative framework in place, it’s now up to the private sector to push nuclear commerce. It’s another matter that nuclear power has grown prohibitively expensive and many have apprehensions about it following the Fukushima disaster. More significant in the real world may be the declared intention to enhance cooperation in renewable energy. Obama has extended US funding for solar energy research and deployment consistent with India’s solar target of generating 100 gigawatts by 2022.
This also ties in with both countries’ climate change mitigation goals. Following the US-China emissions deal, New Delhi and Washington have decided to work closely to achieve a climate agreement at the Paris meet later this year and reaffirmed their prior understanding on phasing down of hydrofluorocarbons. On the security front, the Modi-Obama joint statement strengthens the India-US counterterrorism partnership. Significantly, the two leaders highlighted the need to disrupt Pakistan-based entities like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, D Company and Haqqani network. India-US interests demand that joint efforts, including real-time intelligence sharing, are expedited to tackle transnational terror groups that target both countries individually and together.
Add to this the agreement to co-develop military hardware and the bilateral security initiative is looking at full-spectrum engagement. Diplomacy and defence coordination also adds heft to joint efforts to achieve strategic goals, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. In this regard, the release of a joint strategic vision that reiterates the importance of maritime security and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea is a message to Beijing. Caustic responses apart the Chinese, too, will be more inclined to do business with an India that is a global player and has a full-fledged relationship with America than an India that stands isolated.—Editorial, Times of India, January 27, 2014. - goTop
5. MAIDEN CANISTER LAUNCH OF AGNI-V ICBM SUCCESSFUL: With the maiden successful test launching of the canisterised version of Agni-V, indigenously developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bharat has achieved another major milestone in its on-going defense preparedness signaling that this developing country is steadily but surely becoming a super power in the South East Asia region.
The sophisticated missile with a dummy payload blasted off from the confines of its canister, a hermetically-sealed airtight container mounted on a road-mobile Tatra truck launching platform positioned at the launching complex-four (LC-IV) of the Wheeler Island test range at about 8.09 am on January 31.
It was third test of Agni-V and first from a canister. While two basic versions of the missile were tested in hot launch configuration, this one was in cold launch configuration. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated all the scientists and personnel of DRDO associated with the mission. Agni-V is the country’s first intercontinental range ballistic missile which is capable of hitting targets in all Asian countries and parts of Africa and Europe. - goTop
6. HINDU DHARMA FOCUSES MORE ON DUTIES: DR MOHAN BHAGWAT: “The definition of ‘Dharma’ is related to the duties of the individual, society and the rulers. It does not relate to any specific mode of worship or sectarian attitude. It encompasses the entire humanity besides all living and non-living beings,” said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanrao Bhagwat while delivering the Late Bhausahab Bhuskute Memorial Lecture in Timrani, Madhya Pradesh on January 20. Late Bhuskute was the first “grihasthapracharak” of RSS who dedicated his life to spread the mission of RSS in the then ‘Madhya Prant’ including Odisha.
Bhagwat described late Bhausahab Bhuskute as a sterling example of transparent, honest and studious life. He was very studious and well versed in Hindu ethos. He dedicated his life to the service of the nation and adhered to the path of truth, knowledge, work and devotion.
Delivering the lecture the RSS chief said that in the Hindu tradition Dharma is normally understood as duties. For example, children have their duty towards parents, the rulers have their duty towards the subjects, and to study is the dharma of students, and so on.
While the world stopped at ‘greatest good of the greatest numbers’ Bharat went far ahead with “Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, Sarve santu Niramayah”. No confrontation but coordination and understanding. - goTop
7. CASH-RICH US
COMPANIES EYEING INDIA FOR INVESTMENT: JAITLEY--"Bharat's
Prime Minister was being described as a strong, decisive and a pro-reform
leader. The four important ordinances relating to land, insurance, coal and

reforms," Finance Minister Aru Jaitley has written in an article.
"Government leaders, policy makers, heads of major
corporations were engaging with India. Our own industrialists were
attending the conferences with a renewed sense of confidence with their heads
held high," he said.

8. BHARAT EMERGING GLOBAL POWER, NO LONGER A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY: ARUN KUMAR—Bharat is no longer a country of the Third World but fast emerging as a global power. The world is also looking at Bharat from this angle as no other country has the potential and capability to become a global power, observed Arun Kumar, Director, Jammu Kashmir Study Centre in New Delhi. Arun Kumar, a senior RSS functionary, was speaking after releasing special security numbers of Organiser and Panchjanya weekly magazines at a function held recently.
The special volumes of both the weeklies are dedicated to present security challenges and ways to address them. Kumar said the strategic location that Bharat finds itself is the main reason of its becoming a world super power. Calling for looking beyond the rhetoric of Maoism and Naxalism being exported by the neighboring countries, Arun Kumar said that that according to independent thinkers Bharat will play a major role in coming 40 years in the multi-polar world and maintain balance of power along with USA, Russia, European Union, China and Japan.
But for the only reason that we could not give a dream, a vision to fulfil that dream and a mission to accomplish to our society failing miserably to create a strategic society, he explained. - goTop

The Early Day Motion (EDM) was tabled by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) of British Hindus, led by lawmaker Bob Blackman and supported by four other MPs.
The EDM reads: "That this House commemorates with deep sadness the 25th anniversary of the attack in January 1990 by cross-border Islamic militants on the population of Jammu and Kashmir; expresses its condolences to the families and friends of all those who were killed, raped and injured in this massacre.
It also "condemns the desecration of the holiest sites in Jammu and Kashmir; further expresses its concern that the Kashmiris who fled to save life and limb have still not secured justice for the atrocities committed against them; deplores those sponsoring such cross-border terrorist attacks and demands they cease immediately.
"The international principle of the responsibility to protect obliges individual states and the international community to take effective measures to prevent the commission of genocide and crimes against humanity as seen against the Kashmiri Hindu community." EDMs are formal motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons. While very few are actually debated, they are a way for British MPs to draw attention to an event or cause. - goTop
14. GOOD RESPONSE TO SANSKRIT CLASSES AT INDIAN CONSULATE: The Bharatiya Consulate in Dubai recently witnessed something new on its premises.
The recently renovated auditorium in the mission saw a group of people — 25 of them — ranging from primary school children to senior citizens, sitting together in a corner arranged as a small classroom in the evening. The enthusiastic students from different walks of life were attending a 10-day course on conversational Sanskrit. At the end of the course, most students said they could pick up the language of the scholars of ancient India much faster than expected. “Nobody knew anything in Sanskrit when we joined,” Sumithra Nair, a student, told Khaleej Times. “But the teacher was so good that he made us learn the words by doing actions. Now after 10 days, I can understand Sanskrit and I can speak a little bit, though with grammatical mistakes,” said Nair, a Biotechnology scientist.
According to Subramanian, an accountant trained in teaching Sanskrit at Sanskrit Bharti, what he does is just another attempt to revive the almost dying language.
Dr Tiju Thomas, consul (Economic and Education), who also attended the classes, said learning Sanskrit is very important to know what was originally written about ancient India.
A physician-turned-diplomat, Dr. Thomas said the knowledge of Sanskrit was also important to popularise highly potent Indian medical stream Ayurveda. - goTop

16. 494 OLD COINS FOUND IN BUDDHA’S CITY: Counting of ancient silver coins recovered from Tilaurakot, the Shakya Capital city in Nepal where Siddhartha Gautam spent 29 years of his princely life before he became the Buddha, has completed on January 20.A team of archaeologists counted 494 ancient “punch mark” coins found in an earthen pot during the excavation.
“It took us three days to count all the silver coins since the work should be done very carefully in order to avoid any damages to the coins,” said Ram BahadurKunwar, an archaeologist with the Department of Archaeology (DoA). The coins believed to have been used during 800-200 BC are square and circular in shape.
The excavation team comprising consultants, experts and archaeologists from UNESCO, the DoA, Lumbini Development Trust and Durham University in the UK, who are part of the excavation project being carried out since January 8, recovered the coins.
“This major discovery is likely to help archaeologists determine the history of Tilaurakot, the ancient city that attracts global interest,” said Kosh Prasad Acharya, an archaeologist and consultant for Unesco. “We will be able to share more details after conducting further research on the coins.”
Tilaurakot had caught the attention of archaeologists after a recent geological survey conducted here substantiated that there might be the remains of an ancient city underneath, prompting the archaeologists to start excavation from four sites. - goTop
17. NATIONAL BRAVERY AWARDS BESTOWED: Highlighting some of the most intricate issues with the country, the National Bravery Awards bestowed honours upon those who not only fought their way out of a problem but also helped bring to light the loopholes in the country when it comes to the basic safety of people.
The coveted Bharat Award was given to 16-year-old Reshma Fatma from Uttar Pradesh who was thrown acid at after she refused a marriage proposal. She survived the attack and stands much stronger today. Subsequently, 13-year-old Aswini Bandu Ughade from Maharashtra’s Akola fought a leopard to save the life of her sister after the animal attacked her when they went out to answer the nature’s call.
“On February 1 last year, I was on my way to a coaching class when my maternal uncle, 22 years older than me, accosted me with a marriage proposal. When I refused, he started pouring acid on my head. What if the acid was not so easily made available to him,” said Fatma.
Aswini on the other hand had to literally go through a daredevil stunt just to go to the toilet in peace. “As usual I had to go out to defecate in the nearby forest accompanying my younger sister when a leopard suddenly attacked my sister. I hit the leopard’s head with mangoes and pulled her out of the animal’s jaws following which it fled,” said Aswini.
Apart from Aswini and Reshma, 18 other children from various parts of the country were given awards. They all will be participating in the Republic Day Parade. However, four have been given the award posthumously. - goTop
