Army Caps and India's ODI Series Defeat by Australia
When the Indian national cricket team took to the field for its third ODI against Australia in Ranchi on March 8, 2019, they wore military caps to show support for the Indian military against Pakistan. This was an unprecedented act of politicization of international sports on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's watch in India. Pakistan born Usman T. Khawaja, Australia's opening batsman, responded to it with a maiden century that helped his team win by 32 runs after losing first two ODIs. Khawaja…

India: Rising Great Power or Paper Tiger?
Is India what The Economist magazine describes a "paper elephant" in spite of huge increases in its military spending? Has this perception been reinforced by post-Pulwama events between India and Pakistan? Have the failures of Indian military in Balakot and Kashmir caused a reassessment of the western narrative that says "India is a rapidly rising and Pakistan is collapsing"?…

Modi's India: A Paper Elephant?
"Desh ka bahut nuksaan hua hai", acknowledged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his military's recent failures against Pakistan in Balakot and Kashmir. This marked a major shift in Modi's belligerent tone that has been characterized by his boasts of "chhappan inch ki chhati" (56 inch chest) and talk of "munh tor jawab" (jaw-breaking response) and "…

- Thanks for your comments, certainly you have experienced these kinda forumns more closely.....but let me share couple of points...
1) we have couple of mailing lists for NEDians to say in touch but most of the students are not aware of dat
2) web is the most effective way to share our thoughts (scholarship program: transactions can be made onlilne etc, mentoring forum: detailed profile of alumni with search capabilities and students can contact us)
3) online books, resources that can be added later....in fact that should be done by NED Admin but I dont think daz gonna happen in next decade
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, my point is if we can create a web its easy to share with students and they can get any info they want from there (just one platform)
I know its a lot of effort and you are right you wanna figure out if its worthit.....which is perfectly alright BUT I THINK its worth trying
---------------------------------------------------------
Solution::: Can we suggest the web development as final year project for NED students?? Do you think this can do??
When I had time, I worked on that but I was depending on folks in karachi to register NGO / NPO but no one really wanted to do all the paper work and therefore I almost had to quit the idea....
Couple of students contacted me for scholarship but I really didnt have any good answer for them
-------------------------------------------------------
Bottomline::: These ideas are not new, all we need is a proper representation, that is accessible to students [we dont need to depend on any mailing lists, any other mode of communication, like notice board :) etc......just one single platform]
Looking forward to hear from you more on this
Take care,
Regards,
