During the 1970s, relations between the US and USSR improved through a policy of détente, with both sides taking steps to reduce nuclear weapons and the risk of war. Key events included Nixon's visit to China and Moscow in 1972, the SALT I agreement that limited nuclear weapons, and the Helsinki Accords in 1975 that established agreements on borders and human rights. However, détente ended in the late 1970s due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.
Communal riots occur due to socio-cultural differences between communities in India. Contributing factors include a gap between expectations and achievement due to economic, social, or political changes, as well as inequality based on religion or caste. Major communal riots in India's history include those in Calcutta (1946), during Partition (1947), the Delhi Sikh massacre (1984), Bhagalpur (1989), Hyderabad (1990), Kashmir (1990), Ayodhya (1992), Bombay (1993), and Gujarat (2002).

Presentation seato and cento presentation (1)Muhammad Ahmad
SEATO and CENTO were Cold War-era military alliances formed in 1955 in response to fears over communist expansionism. SEATO included the US, France, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan aiming to protect Southeast Asia. CENTO included Turkey, Iraq, UK, Pakistan and Iran, originally called the Baghdad Pact. Both organizations lacked independent intelligence or military forces. By the 1970s changing geopolitics caused members to withdraw, and both alliances were dissolved in the late 1970s as the Cold War waned.
The document discusses several major theoretical paradigms for explaining cooperation and conflict in international relations, including realism, liberalism, and constructivism. It provides an overview of key theories within each paradigm related to topics like alliances, polarity, and economic interdependence. Major theories discussed include democratic peace theory, balance of power, and theories of rivalry and territory. The document aims to explain the theoretical foundations and logical progression from premises to fully developed international relations theories.
The group presentation discusses the historical relationship between India and China since 1950. It notes that diplomatic relations were established in 1951 and the Panchsheel Agreement was signed, leading to the period of "Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai" (Indian and Chinese are brothers). However, challenges later emerged such as the 1959 Tibetan uprising and China's support for Pakistan in the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistani wars. Subsequent conflicts included the 1962 Sino-Indian War and border disputes. More recently, tensions have continued due to territorial disputes and incidents like the 2017 Doklam standoff. The presentation concludes that peaceful coexistence requires changes in China's attitude.
The 1962 Sino-Indian War was fought between China and India along their disputed border. China defeated India's ill-prepared forces in the high altitude terrain of Ladakh. This war had significant consequences for regional geopolitics. It weakened India's non-alignment policy and led it to seek allies among foreign powers. Pakistan supported China in the conflict and their alliance strengthened. The war also impacted the India-Pakistan relationship over Kashmir. Long term, China's influence in South Asia rose as it gained an important ally in Pakistan.
The Quad grouping was originally formed in 2004 in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami for humanitarian relief efforts. It brought together India, US, Australia and Japan for naval coordination. Though the effort transitioned to the UN, the idea of strategic cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region had taken hold. The Quad grouping was revived in 2017 amid shared concerns about China's growing military assertiveness. While differences remain among members, China's recent aggressive actions on its borders and in the South China Sea have increased the prospects that India will deepen its cooperation within the Quad, with significant implications for regional and global security.
The document summarizes Pakistan's foreign policy approaches during different eras of the Cold War:
1. Era of Neutrality (1947-1953): Pakistan remained neutral and did not join military alliances in the early Cold War period.
2. Era of Alliances (1954-1962): Pakistan joined anti-communist alliances like CENTO and SEATO for economic and military aid but reconsidered due to lack of US support on Kashmir.
3. Post-Cold War (1990-2001): With the Soviet Union's collapse, Pakistan faced pressure to rollback its nuclear program and was sidelined on Kashmir by the sole superpower US.

Naxalism originated in 1967 in the village of Naxalbari in West Bengal, when Charu Majumdar and Kaanu Sanyal led tribal people in an armed uprising against the government. It refers to Maoist rebels active in parts of central and eastern India, including Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. The government has attempted to curb Naxalism by creating a division to monitor the situation and countermeasures, and by improving road connectivity in affected areas.
The document provides background information on Naxalism in India. It begins by defining related terms like Marxism and Maoism. It then discusses the origins and key figures in the Naxalite movement. The document outlines the economic and social conditions in India's "Red Corridor" where Naxalism is most prevalent. It analyzes the political, economic, and social root causes for the rise of Naxalism and its impacts. Finally, it discusses the government's past negligence and current multi-pronged approach to addressing the issue.
The document discusses the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which was founded in 1961 in Belgrade. NAM is an organization of states that do not formally align with or against any major power bloc. It was established to promote independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of member states. The main goals of NAM include fighting against imperialism, colonialism, racism, and promoting peaceful cooperation. Some of the early leaders that helped form NAM include Nehru, Sukarno, Nasser, Tito, and U Nu. NAM continues to advocate for self-determination, sustainable development, and UN reforms while maintaining cooperation between its over 100 member states.
The document discusses Jawaharlal Nehru's view that foreign relations are the fundamental test of a country's independence. It then provides context on India's foreign policy goals of promoting peace and maintaining just relations between nations according to the constitution.

The document discusses the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan from different perspectives. It provides background on the princely state of Kashmir and how it became part of India via an Instrument of Accession signed by its ruler. India sees Kashmir as an integral part of India based on this document, while Pakistan disputes the circumstances around its signing. Both countries have fought multiple wars over the region and continue to disagree on its status and governance. The document also notes China's claims to parts of Kashmir and outlines contentious policies like Article 370 and AFSPA that have fueled local unrest. It concludes by advocating for greater UN involvement to restore peace and respect for human rights in the disputed region.
Guerrilla warfare involves small, surprise attacks rather than direct confrontation. The Vietcong effectively used guerrilla tactics against American forces during the Vietnam War. They operated from an extensive underground tunnel system to hide and launch ambushes. Though outgunned, the Vietcong's hit-and-run attacks allowed them to inflict heavy casualties while minimizing their own losses. Constantly moving and hiding in tunnels also made them difficult for Americans to track. Overall, guerrilla warfare gave the Vietcong a significant strategic advantage over the better equipped but more conventionally fighting US military.
The document discusses the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which was formed to promote international peace and cooperation. It began as a response to tensions from the Cold War and colonialism, allowing newly independent nations to remain neutral. The key founding figures were Nehru, Nasser, and Tito. They established principles of neutrality and sovereignty at the 1955 Bandung Conference. The first NAM summit was in 1961 in Belgrade, where members discussed issues like disarmament, decolonization, and opposing racial discrimination. NAM's objectives were to eliminate war, end colonial domination, and advocate peaceful solutions through the UN.

This document discusses the impact of insurgency on tourism in Northeast India. It notes that tourism can generate revenue for development in the region, but that insurgent groups and ethnic violence pose obstacles. There are over 160 tribes and 7 states in Northeast India, which has a rich culture but lacks infrastructure. Insurgent groups like NSCN and ULFA operate extortion networks and violence, undermining security. This leads tourists to avoid the region in the short and long term, hurting the tourism industry and local economies. Measures are needed to enhance security and prevent terrorist attacks on hotels and destinations.
The document discusses the North Eastern region of India, also known as the "Sunrise States". It provides an introduction to the region, outlining its geography, borders, population, culture and resources.

The growing threat of lone wolf terrorism is posing new challenges to security and intelligence agencies around the world, particularly as terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (IS) utilize social media and technology to recruit new members and inspire new attacks. Media reports have increasingly used the term “lone wolf” in a wide variety of contexts, but this term generally refers to an individual or small cell inspired to execute an attack in the name of an ideology or terrorist group independent of any connection to the organization itself. Without direct links to or communication with a broader network, security and intelligence agencies may fail to detect and prevent plots from lone wolf terrorists, whose plans only become apparent once they are underway. Some plots have included one assailant supported by multiple collaborators sympathetic to the ideology or terrorist group and can be described in similar terms, even though they may not be pure lone wolf events—but are still tellingly lacking any direction or communication with the terrorist hierarchy. Nonetheless, terrorist organizations have encouraged lone wolves and small groups to execute attacks on their own, and recent trends suggest these types of attacks are likely to increase in 2016, as they have proven to be highly effective. While many different ideologies can inspire acts of lone wolf terrorism, this report primarily focuses on lone wolves in the context of IS and Islamist extremism.
Forced migration from Nepal to India occurs due to factors such as natural disasters, government infrastructure projects, and deception about job conditions in India. Over 10,000 people are trafficked from Nepal to India annually and work in industries like agriculture, construction, domestic work, and sex work. People leave Nepal due to its low GDP, political instability, lack of access to credit, and history of migration to India. There is a history of caste and gender discrimination against Nepalis in India, including debt bondage systems and higher rates for loans. Potential solutions include mandatory education, migration awareness programs, anti-discrimination laws, improved credit, and enforcing workplace safety laws.

The document discusses the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan over control of the Kashmir region. It provides background on the history and division of Kashmir, positions of India and Pakistan, and UN involvement. The UN has brokered ceasefires but an attempted plebiscite to determine Kashmir's status has been delayed. The document proposes that the UN take a more proactive role by encouraging normalized relations between India and Pakistan and providing peacekeeping forces to secure borders and prevent militant movement.
The document discusses legal and illegal migration. It defines legal migration as migration with formal permission, while illegal migration is defined as entering a country without formal permission, such as illegal aliens or boat people. Some reasons for illegal migration include overpopulation, poverty, trade liberalization, and economics/labor market factors. Effects of illegal migration include rising unemployment, tax reductions, increased crime rates, and threats to traditional culture from different cultures. Proposed solutions include policy changes and repatriation programs.
This presentation was made with grade 8 (2nd form) students in mind. It may assist older students to some extent, but was specifically designed for lower school students.
This document discusses different types of migration including rural-urban migration, seasonal migration, planned migration, and involuntary migration. It provides details on each type, including common causes, examples, and potential consequences for areas that migrants leave and arrive in, as well as consequences for migrants themselves. Rural-urban migration is driven by population growth and lack of opportunity in rural areas, pushing young males to cities. Planned migration includes Indonesia's transmigration program to relocate people from overpopulated islands like Java to less populated outer islands, with mixed results. Involuntary migration refers to forced migration of refugees fleeing conflict, persecution, or environmental disasters.
Living in Nepal; from People's war to RepublicNilima Raut
This presentation is based on my understanding, knowledge and some study on research papers on the same topic and more specifically my experience of living in Nepal during conflict.
The document summarizes key events in early 20th century China, including the formation of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 and its alliance with the Nationalist Party. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Shanghai Massacre against communists. In 1934, Mao Zedong led the Long March as his communist troops broke through Nationalist lines and traveled over 6,000 miles to establish a new base in northern China. The document also provides context on important figures, locations, and the power struggle between the Nationalists and Communists to rule China.
The document summarizes several ongoing conflicts and areas of tension around the world in 2020. It discusses the war in Afghanistan and rise of militancy in Pakistan. It also outlines the territorial disputes between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, and tensions in the East China Sea and South China Sea involving multiple countries making claims in the regions. Additionally, it provides context on the ongoing civil war in Syria and Yemen, as well as the North Korea crisis regarding its nuclear program.
Case Study on Afghan Government VS TalibanKhesrau Hayat
Case study on Taliban and Aghan Government. The Taliban is a predominantly Pashtun, Islamic fundamentalist group that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, when a U.S.-led invasion toppled the regime for providing refuge to al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden

Nepal has a population of around 30 million people. The majority of Nepalis are Hindu and speak Nepali. Other ethnic groups and languages include Chhettri, Newar, Tamang, and Tharu. Nepal experienced periods of monarchy and conflict with neighboring countries. In the 1990s, a Maoist insurgency began that led to the abolition of the monarchy in 2008 and establishment of a democratic republic. There are now over 30,000 NGOs operating in Nepal focused on poverty alleviation, healthcare, education, and development.
The Nicaraguan Revolution occurred between 1978-1979 as a result of unrest against the oppressive Somoza dictatorship that had ruled Nicaragua since 1936. The Somoza family had complete control through the National Guard and grew wealthy while most of the country lived in poverty. Opposition groups like the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and other protesters increasingly criticized the regime. The assassination of newspaper editor Pedro Joaquin Chamorro in 1978 sparked nationwide strikes and uprisings against Somoza. As fighting escalated in 1979, the National Guard bombed neighborhoods and rebels took control of major cities. The Organization of American States called for Somoza to resign as the Sandinistas gained power
MIddle East Unit, Islamic FundamentalismNHSDAnderson
The document discusses the rise of religious fundamentalism and modern terrorism in the Middle East. It begins by covering the origins of fundamentalism, including the 1979 Iranian Revolution that overthrew the Shah and established an Islamic fundamentalist state led by Ayatollah Khomeini. It then discusses the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan amid the Soviet invasion and US support for mujahideen fighters. Finally, it outlines the emergence of modern terrorism exemplified by the 1972 Munich Olympics attack and the rise of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda in continuing terrorist actions against Western influence in Muslim regions.
The document discusses the history of terrorism from 1979 onwards, beginning with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 which led to the rise of the mujahideen resistance groups. It then covers the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989 and the ensuing civil war. The emergence of the Taliban in the power vacuum is examined, as well as the rise of Al-Qaeda and global jihadism. The 9/11 attacks and subsequent US invasion of Afghanistan are summarized. The document concludes by discussing the growth of sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Mao Zedong was a Chinese revolutionary who founded the People's Republic of China. After studying Marxism in college, he rose to power by organizing peasant armies and leading communist forces against the nationalist Kuomintang party. As chairman, Mao instituted disastrous economic programs like the Great Leap Forward that caused widespread famine and death. He later launched the violent Cultural Revolution to purge political rivals, leading to widespread chaos and oppression until his death in 1976.
The role of the people’s republic of china in south africa’s liberation strug...connerdoyle
The Role of the People’s Republic of China in South Africa’s Liberation Struggle and MK - he 1980s saw a thawing of Sino-Soviet tensions and as a result, the ANC was willing to resume relations with Beijing. In 1983 China announced a new policy in which all liberation organisations were to be treated equally without discrimination. PAC thus lost its favoured position with China as the PRC shifted the bulk of its support to the ANC; the largest liberation organisation in South Africa. In 1983 Oliver Tambovisited the PRC in order to re-establish ties with China. In 1989 China began hosting delegations from liberation organisations, including the PAC and the Democratic Party, and simultaneously began exploring the possibility of renewed economic ties with South Africa. Subsequent to his release from prison, Mandelamet with the PRC ambassador to Zambia to thank China for its support of the anti-apartheid struggle. Recognising the ANC’s potential as a primary organisation in any post-Apartheid regime, China supported the ANC’s call for the continuation of sanctions on South Africa - http://www.sahistory.org.za/article/role-people%E2%80%99s-republic-china-south-africa%E2%80%99s-liberation-struggle-and-mk
1) Subhas Chandra Bose was a prominent Indian nationalist leader who served as the president of the Indian National Congress twice. However, he disagreed with Gandhi's approach of nonviolence and civil disobedience.
2) During World War II, Bose fled India and sought help from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to liberate India from British rule. In 1943, he formed the Indian National Army (INA) with Indian prisoners of war and others.
3) The INA fought alongside Japanese forces in Southeast Asia but was defeated as Japan lost the war. The trials of INA officers after the war galvanized nationalist sentiment in India and weakened the British position, hastening Indian independence.

Early Warning Analysis for Human Preparedness and Conflict In KashmirRobert Powell
This document analyzes the socioeconomic, political, and security issues related to the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan. It discusses how decolonization divided the region along religious lines and led to rising nationalism. Both states claim sovereignty over Kashmir and have fought multiple wars, while human rights abuses have been committed on both sides. The key actors involved include the governments of India, Pakistan, and Kashmir as well as non-state groups. The dispute continues to impact regional stability and security due to ongoing tensions and cross-border terrorism.
The document discusses the history of ethnic revolts and desire for autonomy in Nepal. It outlines several ethnic groups that revolted against oppressive rulers over the centuries, including the Tamangs, Gurungs, untouchable castes, and Madhesi people. The document also discusses the establishment of ethnic organizations during the Panchayat period that advocated for rights and autonomy. The Maoists played a key role in bringing ethnic issues to the forefront and advocating for regional and ethnic autonomy as part of their movement, though other political parties opposed autonomy out of fear of secession.
The document summarizes the history and evolution of Maoist insurgency in India from 1967 onwards. It traces the formation of different Maoist groups like CPI-ML, CPI-Maoist and MCC and discusses their strategies, organization structure, funding sources, arms procurement, and areas of operation. It also analyzes the nature of Maoist insurgency in India and the areas impacted.
Mahatma Gandhi led non-violent protests for India's independence from British rule through civil disobedience and marches. After independence in 1947, India and Pakistan were divided along religious lines, causing conflict over the disputed Kashmir region that continues today. Nelson Mandela fought against South Africa's system of racial segregation known as apartheid through non-violent protest and was imprisoned for 26 years before being elected president in 1994. Conflict in the Middle East continues between Israel and Palestinians seeking an independent state.
Mahatma Gandhi led non-violent protests for India's independence from British rule through civil disobedience and marches. This resulted in India gaining independence in 1947, but was partitioned into India and Pakistan, displacing millions of Hindus and Muslims. Ongoing conflict over the Kashmir region has occurred between India and Pakistan since.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

producing regions.
70% share in amphetamine
production.
Average opium production
1700 tones / year.
Average heroin (number 4)
production 220 tones / year.
38.
39. Recent Developments in the Triangle
War of control between
traditional drug lords
(Khun Sa - heroine) and
ethnic rebel armies
(united Wa state army
(UWSA) - amphetamine).
Morphine from Thailand
and Laos is brought to
the refineries in western
Burma.
Involvement of corrupt
Burmese army officers.
At least 30 refineries in
the region.
40.
41. Threats of Drug Trafficking
Trafficking led to rise in local consumption.
Manipur is the worst hit.
Involvement of officials in the illicit trade.
Ethnic separatists in the region are taking to
protection of drug mafias as a quick way to raise
funds.
‘ A rebel-drug lord- officialdom nexus’. A situation
similar to that of Latin America.
42. Proliferation of Small Arms
A brief history of small arms.
Naga started their campaign with the WW2 leftover.
After ‘60s Pakistan was the provider.
From ’66 to ’80 china provided the arms.
After 82 rebels followed the example of LTTE and
turned to SE Asian black market, then a thriving
arms bazaar.
What is SE Asian black market ?
43.
44.
45. Proliferation of Small Arms
After 90s NE has a cheaper source, Yunnan
mafias.
Criminal gangs involved in all sorts of smuggling.
Produce and sell latest arms at cheaper rates.
Currently ULFA buys from Yunnan market and sells
it to Maoists in Nepal and Jihadi in B’desh.
Long marches: arms procurement route by NE
rebels. Long marches last for several days. Most
of them originate from Cox’s Bazar.
47. Other Developments in SE Asia
Efforts to disintegrate
Indonesia.
East Timor.
Aceh.
Post Bali bombings
scenario &
mushrooming Jehadi
outfits.
48. Possible Solutions (Global)
Strengthening of ASEAN and SAARC.
Need of joint efforts to stop drugs & arms.
Operation golden bird (95), joint special task unit.
Problem children: Burma (ASEAN), Bdesh
(SAARC).
Good indo – Burma relations is the need.
What about Bangladesh ?
Check on illegal immigration.
Stability in Bangladesh is must.
We have to deal with terrorism and not
insurgency!
49. Possible Solutions (Local)
Economic development of north east.
Implementation of “look east policy”.
Consistent policy for economic growth.
Exclusive security oriented solution is impossible.
Police should have counter insurgency capabilities.
Wider (democratic) platform to express anger,
discontent.
Demystification of north east.
Domestic tourism, emotional integration, social
sector.
Equal partnership in the union.
