This Report ought to be made essential reading not just for all governments of the countries of the South, but for each and every conscientious citizen of this part of the globe. The reason for this somewhat categorical statement will be made apparent as one reads on. For the time being it can be said without a shadow of a doubt that it gives a fresh, enlightening perspective on each and every aspect of world affairs and the world order, touching not merely the macro canvas but the individual, day to day existence of our citizens. To the extent that even a cursory scanning of the contents of the book transforms the reader’s entire perspective and weltenschauung of life

A galaxy is a large group of stars, gas, and dust that are bound by gravity, and therefore, in relatively close proximity, in the universe. The milky way is a large spiral galaxy (that has spiral arms in a relatively flat disk and a central “bulge”; the central core contains older stars and the spiral arms contains lesser number of stars but more gas) of which our solar system is an integral part. All the stars we see in the night sky are in our own 'milky way' galaxy. [...]we cannot see our entire galaxy since we are an integral part of it.

Introduction The India-US Joint Statement, issued on 18 July 2005, following the historic Summit between US President George W. Bush Jr. and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, established the framework for India's nuclear engagement with the global community through the Civil Nuclear Initiative (CNI). [...]in practice, the G8 Statement, NSG decisions, and the possible amendment to its export controls may prevent Russia from transferring such sensitive technologies to India. [...]it may be useful for India to test the prevailing Russian approaches to such matters. [...]NPT weapons States have considered the bilateral route to check the further spread of sensitive technologies. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for instance, was compelled by the USA to give up the right to enrich and reprocess nuclear material as a condition of their 2009 bilateral '123 Agreement.'!° This agreement explicitly prohibits the UAE from participating in enrichment or reprocessing activities, mandating that it procure nuclear fuel from international suppliers instead.

This paper explores India’s strategic positioning vis-à-vis the liberal international order (LIO), examining how India has historically both engaged with and asserted autonomy from the Western-led order. It argues that India’s evolving foreign policy—from Nehru’s non-alignment to Modi’s strategic autonomy—reflects a deliberate use of specific approaches to create space within the LIO for its unique national interests. The main argument of the paper is that India’s engagement with the LIO has not involved wholesale rejection of the extant LIO framework but rather the selective leveraging and reimagining of liberal principles to preserve India’s strategic interests while promoting a multipolar, more inclusive global order. India’s approach to the LIO from its independence to now has been marked by continuity. Since 1947, India has sought to uphold sovereignty while benefiting from liberal principles, particularly in institutional and economic domains. The paper draws on the theoretical framework of defensive realism and institutional neoliberalism to deconstruct and highlight India’s policy approach to the LIO, which is characterized by pragmatism and suggests that India could be described as a transactional power.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has endorsed the creation of an independent agency to support basic research-with a proposed budget that's more than three times the amount the government is now spending. Scientists have long complained about the current process for winning grants, including inflexible rules and funding decisions that take more than one year.
