is as much yours,as it is ours!
Pakistan has some serious problems within the country, which everyone reads about almost every other day. ButPakistan has even more serious political problems and which we dont read about since they dont come with suicidevests, or vehicles rigged with explosives. These are problems more serious than the scandal of fake degrees currently
raging between legislators and the media. These are problems more serious than can be addressed by any international aid
package.
This is because these are problems that have plagued Pakistan since its birth and have nothing to do with money, faith, theexcess, or lack, of both. These are problems that have been the creation of the peculiarities of psychology and its impact onPunjab. Well at least the western portion of Punjab, the one that forms the province in Pakistan. And the best enactment ofthese problems has been the recent public performance of the Pakistani Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi. His t one,tenor, language and demeanour, caught Indias External Affairs Minister by surprise. Caught the whole atmosphere of Indo-Pak relations by surprise and seems to have injected a dose of dismay and pessimism in the mien of improving relations. Thefault lies with India and the inability of its South Block leadership to understand the problems in Pakistan and play the gamewith psychology rather than the sophistry of North Block.
The President of Pakistan surprised his country by signing along the 18 th Amendment even when it curtails presidentialpowers, thus cementing his democratic credentials. Despite that he remains the object of ridicule and derision within theeducated inuential sections. The Prime Minister of Pakistan is a Makhdoom by inheritance and as with his ilk the principalchallenge of the 21st century is to keep the ock numbers increasing. There are competitors and none more so than thePakistani Foreign Minister, also a Makhdoom by inheritance and also from Multan, so the competition is really serious. Moreso when he thinks his educational and intellectual credentials are better than his Prime Minister.
The catch here, however, is that arbiter of these gents fortunes is an entity that is not governed by votes, or the will of thepeople. It is General Headquarters Rawalpindi and in this case the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Kayani specically. He is up foran extension of his tenure and has let it be known that it wont be asked for. The US / West has let it be known that they wantone for him, so he neednt ask directly. Some Pakistanis think he is good enough for an extension, for reasons that are militaryor non-military. The President has a call on this, as does the Prime Minister, constitutionally. Everybody expects it to happenand for a period of extraordinary longevity.
Which basically means that the Chief is going to be around when the polity of Pakistan implodes as it does cyclically. SincePunjab is hurtling towards that political eruption, so hedging the bets has begun. Which is what the Pakistani Foreign Ministerwas doing through the talks with India and has been doing after as well. The Army is once again going to be the arbiter ofpolitical fate, so he has begun to sing the tune that sounds best to military ears. Even a fake degree wouldve shown the wayto this analysis, so it is surprising that all the educated intelligent leaders and thinkers should harbour expectations froma dialogue process that is secondary to events underway in Pakistan. Regional security depends on it and there are globalsecurity concerns, but relations with India are best with an Army rider to them. Sooner India realises this straightforward factbetter it is for its own nerves.

This was the Indian ethos long before the idea of Indiacoalesced into its modern incarnation. This was, in essence,what the people of this land believed in - be it on its scattered
periphery or at its central core. That is why its inuence beyondthe seas and across its land frontiers, seen in the spores of religiousand cultural contacts, have not found acceptance by the force of theswordarm but by the appealing suasion of its logic and humanity.
Today, we see developed countries propagating Save Earth,Save Ozone Layer and Save Animals and Birds. But it is socommiserable that no one says Save Humanity.
What are we going to do of this Earth, Ozone layer, Animals and Birds with noHuman beings left due to these many conicts that currently afict the world? We havealready seen the mass havoc in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. In the clashes occurringsimultaneously in several parts of the world we see that we have not yet learnt anylessons from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We see the developed States competing for thelatest armaments and technologies to equip themselves not to defend themselves but tofrighten and subdue other peoples because of their natural resources. The atom - a boonfor mankind and a source of innite energy - is being stockpiled to destroy this beautifulworld.
We have seen two World Wars which cost millions of human lives. Now we see newtragedies playing themselves out in Iraq and the Afghan-Pakistan salient where attemptsto create new spheres of inuence and dividing up geographical entities threaten to pawnthe globe to the very forces that have made diabolic use of new ways of mass destruction.
We see the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation being set up as a bulwark against theeastwards spread of the militaristic North Atlantic Treaty Organisation even as newdiscoveries of natural wealth are made in strife-torn Afghanistan. China has proved itsstrength and impact on the world economy. Its role in global geopolitics is well known.It has undoubtedly proved its economic strength and is now trying to prove to be thesuperpower in the world. Russia still has unresolved problems as in Chechnya but thereis no gainsaying its resurgence and reassertion of its geopolitical clout.
The US appears to have its hands full with juggling geopolitical hot potatoes in differentparts of Asia within the Atlantic-Pacic ambience. Be it in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan orPakistan, the US is always involved either directly or indirectly through either NATOor UN and thus Washington seems to have the key to open all the locks in the region asa whole.
Europe with its extraordinary past and cradle of two World Wars has produced someof the best brains. Though there have been conicts within Europe but nally they haveunderstood the importance of sovereignty and cooperation.
Africa, one of the biggest continents is still struggling for development in all the eldsof human endeavour. While there are a few pockets of afuence on the dark continentbut most are aficted by poverty and crime.
India is the only State which has never tried to use its strength to threaten anyone. Ithas always tried its best to maintain harmony with all States, be it Pakistan, Afghanistan,Bangladesh or any other SAARC countries. Though India has tried to maintain cordialrelations but Pakistan is always creating nuisance and problems to take advantage ofIndias sobriety. Pakistan is one of the few States which have not progressed much in thelast six decades, whereas India has marched ahead in all spheres. Next month India willbe celebrating her 64th Independence day and on behalf of team DSA I salute each andeveryone who have devoted their lives for independent India and who are committed forher independence and security today.
This is the fth special issue of DSA and I am very happy to share with you dearreader that it is your warm acceptance and response that has brought us where we are,enabling us to offer you a world-class magazine dedicated to making this world moresafe and secure.JAI HIND!

UN:Role in Peace and War
It will come as a surprise to many that in spite of hotspots around the globe, the UN has
a 75 per cent success rate in peacekeeping. Yet even insiders admit that were it not forthe threat of use of their veto powers by the Permanent Members of the UN SecurityCouncil the world body could have done a better job. Hopefully with reorganisationand the growing inuence of the developing world the UN will not be hamstrung bytheseforceful ve.

A journey which began as a holding company of public sector steel manufacturers in 1973 with an
authorised capital of Rs. 2,000 crore has today become a public sector giant and leading steel manufacturer
in India with a turnover of Rs. 43,935 crore and production ranging from hot metal to highly specialised
steel. SAIL is committed to extend its support to Indias Defence and Security by providing special steel

The Central Asian landmass lends itself to intervention by neighbours on its periphery.
That is exactly what is happening except that at the moment it is benign, economics and
energy-access oriented. It wasnt that way after the withdrawal from Afghanistan of
Soviet troops north of the Oxus (Amu Darya). The perceived vacuum was sought to be

NATO General SecretaryMr. Anders Fogh Rassmusentalks to DSA correspondent
(Europe) Dominika Cosic.
DSA: Mission in Afghanistan ismore and more difcult for NATO,every day we are losing soldiers.Could you explain why NATO shouldkeep their troops in Afghanistan?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Ithink there are two strong reasons tocontribute to our mission and to stayin Afghanistan: security and solidarity.First security. We are in Afghanistan toprotect this country once again fromterrorism. We know that terroristswho attacked USA on 11 of September2001 were rooted in Af-Pak region.And terrorism could easily spreadfrom Afghanistan, through CentralAsia to Russia and other countries. Itcan also hit European cities. So it is athreat not only to Europe and USA. Inaddition to that, there is also a risk thatterrorists operating in Afghanistan candestabilise the neighbouring countriesas Pakistan which is a nuclear powerand that would be a very dangeroussituation. And it is a problem for all ofus. Dont forget also that Afghanistanis the main supplier of heroin. Drugsare a problem for everybody. Wehave common interest to stabilisesociety in Afghanistan. And to reducedrugs production. We should remindourselves that after attacks on 11 ofSeptember NATO decided for the rsttime in its history that attack on USA,one of the member States, should beconsidered as an attack on Alliance.That is why NATO is supporting thisoperation which is a solidarity mission.When one ally is attacked, othersshould answer.
DSA:But its already been nine yearssince the beginning of the mission.How long should NATO be there?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Iunderstand very well that people areimpatient, so am I. We want to see clearprogress and I am sure that this yearwe will see it. 2009 has been a difcultyear but now we are taking a lot ofimportant decisions. We have decidedto increase the number of foreigntroops signicantly - actually 40,000and to increase a number of Afghansoldiers and police. We have decidedto hand over responsibility for securityto Afghans and to establish training
mission to train and educate Afghansoldiers. In addition to it internationalcommunity has committed themselvesto increase development and PresidentKarzai has also committed himself tobetter government and to ght withdrugs producers and corruption. Wehave started transition process andall these elements contribute to thisprocess. So I am optimistic.
DSA: But some of the experts arevery skeptical, they consider thismission as a failure of NATO, there isno solidarity even within the Alliance.
Mr.Anders Fogh Rassmusen : I dontagree. Actually we have been quitesuccessful in getting contributions fromour Alliance partners. There is strongsolidarity. After Obamas decision toincrease number of troops (Americansoldiers) other 26 countries did thesame, now there are 40,000 additionaltroops. It is strong commitment and
real solidarity.
DSA: 60 years ago when NATO wascreated situation was clear, we knewwho was enemy of Alliance. What isthe status now and who is the enemy?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Youare right that NATO has been themost successful defence Alliance theworld has ever seen and most peacefulmovement because we came throughCold War without any single shotred when Warsaw Pact collapsedand several countries joined NATOand NATO has reunited Europe. Butunfortunately now we have seen newdangers and we have terrorism not onlyin Afghanistan. There is for examplequestion of cyber security, someAlliance members have experiencedcyber attacks. Without soldiers crossingborders it can devastate and destabilisea country. We have to make sure thatwe can defend ourselves from this

risk. Proliferation of nuclear weapons
and delivery of it we have to protect
ourselves against that. That is thereason why we need missile defence. I
have mentioned only few new threats
and this will be core element in the
new strategic concept. Core function
of NATO will still be territorial defenceof member States and their population.
This was the foundation of NATO 61
years ago and will always be.
DSA: And 5th paragraph will still
play an important role in the New
Strategic Concept?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Yes,
indeed it will have prominent role inthe New Strategic Concept. One for all,all for one.
DSA: Can you imagine that Russia
will one day become new member
country?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Itshard to imagine but in principle it isnot impossible. Article 10 in the NATOtreaty says that any European countrymay be invited to join NATO. Thiscountry should contribute to security inEurope and America and should respectthe principles of NATO. Russia is aEuropean country. Russia could applyand then we will see if it is fulllingcriteria. But honestly I dont think thatRussia will apply for membership sowe should be more realistic. And myintention is to develop partnershipbetween Russia and NATO because Ithink that it is in our common interestto reduce tension between NATO andRussia.
DSA: But new strategic concept ofRussia does not reduce this tension.
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: No.
I was also surprised to read in newRussian military doctrine that NATOis the rst foreign and security danger.Honestly speaking I dont understandit and it is not reecting real situation.NATO is not an enemy of Russia andis not directed against Russia and hasno intention to attack this country.But if you start to read this documentthere it also says that Russia shoulddevelop partnership with NATO. Sothere are two different statements. Ialso think that Russia should take intoconsideration that some of membercountries are very much concernedabout rhetoric and also their actionslike aggression against Georgia orthe fact that it has recently conductedcomprehensive military exercises nearthe border with, for instance, Poland.And it is understandable that theseactions raise number of concerns.In conclusion we know that we willstill have disagreement with Russia,dispute, but there is area where weshare security concerns with Russiaand we share cooperation.
DSA:Those exercises have been likeprovocation and there was no clearreaction from NATO.
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: No,because we have monitored, followedexercises carefully and not consideredthem as a threat against any Alliancemember. For anybody. But I can assureyou that we monitor this and also thatNATO has all necessary plans to protectand defend any Alliance.
DSA: When do you expect NewStrategic Concept?
Mr. Anders Fogh Rassmusen: Ido hope that it will be ready for nextNATO summit which will take placein November, 2010 in Lisbon. There arealready some ideas proposed by ourexperts and now we are working on it.

Russian resurgence begins to lap Euro-Atlantic shores. Russia under Putin
is bent on giving the word Czar a new energy connotation. Its role in
the Central Asian Republics and a consolidation of age-old friendships that
have stood the test of time will ensure that multipolarity will prevail.

Relationships between these two organisations have been always verydelicate and problematic. Most of European countries are members ofboth organisations. But NATO is led by United States andthis fact creates special tensions. Hopefully afterchange of the political guard in Germany andFrance (ve and three years ago) there is nallyserious chance for new beginning between NATOand European Union. For the rst time in its historythese relations will be the main subject during nextEU summit in September 2010, in Brussels, which issymbolical.

of World War I and San Remo convention, in 1920, the Arabsworld dened itself mainly versus the Israeli Arab conict. In
recent years they dene themselves in a greater proportion
versus the Iranian raising power. Israel has become a potential

Because piracy and marineterrorism have acquired dangerousproportions, the internationalresponse has been a closing of ranksand creation of regional reporting andcounter-measure centres particularlyin areas that have been piracyendemic. However, the rising graphof marine crime indicates that swiftermeans of intervention in such wideopen spaces as the Indian Ocean andPacifc Ocean are needed to arrive atthe crime scene within hours instead
of days. It takesthe better part of24 hours to get tomid Arabian Seafrom Mumbai.Greater use ofying boats couldbe the answer.

Indias geographical position in the Indian Ocean predisposes it to
a major role in managing, in conjunction and in collective fashion
with other littoral states, the transition from a colonial, exploited
past to a peaceful growth-oriented destiny. It is recognised as a
status-quo power because it has no territorial ambitions except
the protection of its own territorial integrity but its sphere of
inuence lies in the age-old relationships with peoples as diverse
as Afghanistan and Vietnam or South Africa and China.

The Indian Navy today is a three-dimensional force in
a real sense and wants to expand its strategic reach. Itviews itself in 2012-15 as a force comprising about 135-140 stealth vessels with long-range precision-guidedweapons capable of anti-ship, anti-submarine anddecisive land-attack missions. It is poised to be a TrueBlue Water Force by 2020-25. The process has beeninitiated in a very planned and systematic manner. In thiscentury the Indian Navy has crossed many milestones inthis direction and is now heading towards its objective.Silently.

The Indian Navy is the largest and the most capable resident
navy in the Indian Ocean region and is seen by most maritime
powers as a stabilising force. As India grows economically, our
stake in the seas around us will also grow and our maritime
power will also increase commensurately.

The arrest of terrorists in the northern-most tip of Aceh (autonomousregion of Indonesia which is very close to Andaman and Nicobar
Islands), claiming to be cadres of a splinter organisation calledAl Qaeda of Aceh has raised concerns about the security ofAndaman and Nicobar Island group where the Joint Commandof Indian Armed Forces is stationed. Also, the role of major terrorgroups and Pan Islamic organisations like Lashkar-e-Toiba andJemaah Islamiyah is expanding in the extended south Asian region.Concerted counter-terrorism operations by India and Indonesiaare necessary so that the jihadists do not inict any damage onstrategic and commercial interests of India.

Dr. Arvind Kumar
Nukes are not the only weapons of mass destruction ever used in war. Their
employment against Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was by a nation-State in
a declared war situation. The use of biological and chemical weapons of mass
destruction have a long history in conict situations between nations. However,
the essential difference and the main cause for worry is the growing possibility that
a rogue State could hand over weapons of mass destruction to terrorists to achieve
its goals. Indias insistence on a strict i nternational check on Pakistan is not just for
self-preservation. It is the fountainhead of the new kind of global warfare.

Globalisation
One direct evidenciary effect of climate change is that it has submerged several balefultechnology denial regimes based on the concept that dual-use properties will inevitablylead to proliferation of weapons. Globalisation did the rest as outsourcing was moreeconomical than behaving like rodents with gold and high-tech laboratories beganshifting research and development activities from developed to developing countries.

NEW PARADIGMS
world:The realisation that under-development can lead to insecurity can become the
cornerstone of national policies directed at the individual. Yet insecurities growing
out of health, ethnic and sectarian and environmental concerns also tend to impinge
on the well-being of societies and migrations and forced evictions extend their spreadbeyond statal boundaries. The United Nations Development Programme has focused
on universal concerns that transcend the traditional paradigms of a balance of power.

'Will India become a superpower?' This is a question that nags every Indian.
With the nature of problems that plague India, the chances of the country
becoming a superpower are remote. As the visionary President of India,
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said:
India can become the superpower of the world in a matter of 15-20 years ifwe can elect a good leadership to lead us and rule us. It is the leadership of thecountry that moves the country forward or backward.
