High noon

Governments must ensure locallevel interventions to deal with heat stress.

India Meteorological Department’s forecast of abovenormal maximum and minimum

temperatures across the country during the premonsoon MarchMay period is a timely

alert for State authorities to review their preparedness

Even a marginal rise above the normal will lead to enormous heat stress for

millions of Indians, given the deprived conditions in which they live.

Risk for healthrelated problems during a heat wave, such as senior citizens and people

with preexisting disease, mental illness or disability

Most other States, though, the summer of 2018 may pose a public health challenge

One scientific estimate of annual mortality attributable to heat waves between

2010 and 2015 ranges between 1,300 and 2,500


Continue

World Health Organisation recommends that countries adopt heathealth warning systems

, including daily alerts to ensure that people are in a position to deal with adverse weather

Water stress is a common and often chronic feature in many States: arrangements

should be made to meet scarcity.

There is some hope that the southwest monsoon this year will benefit from an expected

moderate La Niña condition. Responsibility of governments to ensure that communitylevel interventions are taken up to help vulnerable g

roups.


A gathering stormWorld Justice Project released its Rule of Law Index 201718 report, which measures

the extent to which 113 countries have adhered to the rule of law in that period.

India’s rank was 62, better than China, Pakistan, Myanmar

and Bangladesh; Denmark occupied the top spot.

Every country’s performance in eight areas, including

1)-Fundamental rights,

2)-Absence of discrimination,

3)-Right to life and security,

4)-Due process,

5)-Freedom of expression and religion,

6)-Right to privacy,

7)-Freedom of association, and

8)-Labour rights.


Continue The survey found that 71 out of the 113 countries have dropped in score.

This report, along with others the Amnesty International Annual Report 201718,

indicates the serious erosion of international human rights law in recent times.

World is worrying- InTurkey and China, the assault on civil liberties and freedoms

There is increasing hostility towards civil society organisations and hardening of

attitudes towards minorities in Poland and Hungary.

Human rights of refugees are routinely negated, including in Australia and the U.S.

Mass atrocities (genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity) are or have

been committed in Iraq, Myanmar, Central African Republic, and Burundi

In Myanmar, UN Special Rapporteur who was to investigate the claims of persecution against

the Rohingya was denied all access to the country.

UN system may not be perfect, but it helps sustain international human rights law,

and there must be greater engagement with such institutions.


It’s time to reimagine South Asia

IndiaChinaPakistan cooperation can transform the subcontinent.

Rs300 a kilo in Lahore, they were available at Indian Rs40 a kilo in Amritsar a mere 30 miles away

Many Pakistani politicians want nothing to be imported from India, the enemy nation

This kind of blind nationalism

India and Pakistan are among the least integrated nations in the world.

Because of their unending mutual hostility, South

Asia too has become the least integrated region in the world.

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is in a coma.

Sadly, the most populous region in the world has also remained home to the largest number

of poor people in the world

Single seamless socioeconomic and cultural entity

before 1947, have now completely drifted apart.

There are no direct fights between their capitals — New Delhi and Islamabad.


ContinueMumbaiKarachi ferry service was stopped after the 1965 war.

In this age of information revolution, the number of phone calls between Indian and

Pakistani citizens (including calls between close relatives of divided families) is negligible,

mostly out of fear of being questioned by their respective security agencies

At less than $3 billion annually, trade with Pakistan accounts for a meagre 0.4%

of India’s growing global commerce.

On the Indian side, it will be said that terror and trade cannot go together.

On the Pakistani side, resolution of the Kashmir issue has become a precondition for any

substantial bilateral cooperation.

Pakistani patriots who think they need not care for India since they now has protector China

China influencing India’s negative attitude towards Pakistan, both among

policymakers and the common people.

Our Army chief, General Bipin Rawat’s egregious remark last year


Continue Arms manufacturers- profit by this at cost of common Indians and Pakistanis, who need

employment, education, health care and foodandenvironmental security.

These needs can be met only through regional cooperation, not regional rivalry.

China become a part of the solution, rather than being perceived as a part of the

IndiaPakistan problem?

A threeway IndiaChinaPakistan cooperation is not only necessary but indeed possible

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) provides a

practical framework for such partnership.

Unfortunately, Mr. Modi has allowed himself to be misled by his advisers on the BRI.

Therefore, connectivity, cooperation and economic integration are the only realistic

bases for any future IndiaPakistan settlement of the Kashmir dispute

both China and Pakistan have stated that they are open to India joining CPEC.

China has also expressed its readiness to rename…CPEC suitably to both address India’s concerns


ContinueAlready, Iran, Afghanistan and several Central Asian republics have agreed

to join this ambitious regional connectivity project.

BRI Will it help or hurt India if it joins this renamed initiative as an

equal partner? Will it not connect Lahore and Amritsar

Sindh and southern Punjab with Gujarat and Rajasthan, and Karachi with Mumbai?

Gain land access, through Pakistan, to Afghanistan, Iran, Central Asia and western China.

And if our leaders show vision, ambition and resolve, the CPECplusIndia can be linked to the

BangladeshChinaIndiaMyanmar

If 1947 divided our subcontinent, here is an opportunity for India, Pakistan and all other countrie

s in the region to come together and rise in shared progress and prosperity.

Alternative connectivity project by “Quadrilateral” of the U.S., Japan, Australia and India.

Even if it does, its developmental benefits to India will be limited since it will seek to

keep China and Pakistan out


India’s energy security and accelerated economic growth

TurkmenistanAfghanistanPakistanIndia (TAPI) and

IranPakistanIndia gas pipelines

Could also help resolve three longstanding geopolitical problems in the region, in which

countless people have been killed — terrorism, Kashmir and Afghanistan

To realise this vision of a resurgent South Asia, two obstacles will have to be removed

Blind nationalism and

Unfriendly designs of extraregional powers

As Karl Marx would have said: peoples of South Asia and China, unite!You have nothing to lose

but your chains; you have a bright new future to win
