‘Absurd claims’: India again rejects China’s Arunachal arguments - Times of India
NEW DELHI: Government slammed the Chinese defence ministry on Tuesday for making absurd claims over Arunachal, saying repeating baseless arguments would not lend such claims any validity.Carrying forward the war of words over PM Narendra Modi’s visit to the state, the Chinese defence ministry had said Beijing had never acknowledged and would continue to oppose the “so-called Arunachal Pradesh…

भारत और चीन में 5 साल में हो सकती है एक और जंग? वजह है ड्रैगन का ये डर, RUSI की रिपोर्ट में दावा
भारत और चीन के बीच पांच सालों में जंग छिड़ सकती है. जियो पॉलिटिक्स के एक्सपर्ट्स ने इसकी आशंका जताई है. उनका कहना है कि हिमालय में 2025 से 2030 के बीच एक और भारत-चीन युद्ध छिड़ सकता है.
एक्सपर्ट्स ने युद्ध की वजह चीन-पाकिस्तान इकोनॉमिक कॉरिडोर (CPEC) प्रोजेक्ट को बताया है. उनका कहना है कि चीन अपने काशागार एनर्जी प्लांट को लेकर डर में है, जिसका रास्ता पूर्वी लद्दाख से होकर गुजरता है. ऐसे में उसको…

In solidarity with the journalists of India
The heavy handed crackdown on journalists in India the day after Ravish Kumar's talk at Harvard underscored his words about the war on journalism - there are many like him standing for journalistic ethics and responsibility and they are under fire
The day the popular Indian journalist Ravish Kumar spoke at Harvard, Oct. 2, happened to mark Gandhi Jayanti, Mahatama Gandhi’s birth anniversary. A day that social media users celebrated Gandhi-ji’s murder was and glorified his murderer on X, formerly Twitter, noted Kumar, talking in Hindi to students and community members filling the nearly 150-seater auditorium.

The World's Forests Are Doing Much Better Than We Think
You might be surprised to discover... that many of the world’s woodlands are in a surprisingly good condition. The destruction of tropical forests gets so much (justified) attention that we’re at risk of missing how much progress we’re making in cooler climates.
That’s a mistake. The slow recovery of temperate and polar forests won’t be enough to offset global warming, without radical reductions in carbon emissions. Even so, it’s evidence that we’re capable of reversing the damage from the oldest form of human-induced climate change — and can do the same again.
Take England. Forest coverage now is greater than at any time since the Black Death nearly 700 years ago, with some 1.33 million hectares of the country covered in woodlands. The UK as a whole has nearly three times as much forest as it did at the start of the 20th century.
That’s not by a long way the most impressive performance. China’s forests have increased by about 607,000 square kilometers since 1992, a region the size of Ukraine. The European Union has added an area equivalent to Cambodia to its woodlands, while the US and India have together planted forests that would cover Bangladesh in an unbroken canopy of leaves.
Logging in the tropics means that the world as a whole is still losing trees. Brazil alone removed enough woodland since 1992 to counteract all the growth in China, the EU and US put together. Even so, the planet’s forests as a whole may no longer be contributing to the warming of the planet. On net, they probably sucked about 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year between 2011 and 2020, according to a 2021 study. The CO2 taken up by trees narrowly exceeded the amount released by deforestation. That’s a drop in the ocean next to the 53.8 billion tons of greenhouse gases emitted in 2022 — but it’s a sign that not every climate indicator is pointing toward doom...
More than a quarter of Japan is covered with planted forests that in many cases are so old they’re barely recognized as such. Forest cover reached its lowest extent during World War II, when trees were felled by the million to provide fuel for a resource-poor nation’s war machine. Akita prefecture in the north of Honshu island was so denuded in the early 19th century that it needed to import firewood. These days, its lush woodlands are a major draw for tourists.
It’s a similar picture in Scandinavia and Central Europe, where the spread of forests onto unproductive agricultural land, combined with the decline of wood-based industries and better management of remaining stands, has resulted in extensive regrowth since the mid-20th century. Forests cover about 15% of Denmark, compared to 2% to 3% at the start of the 19th century.
Even tropical deforestation has slowed drastically since the 1990s, possibly because the rise of plantation timber is cutting the need to clear primary forests. Still, political incentives to turn a blind eye to logging, combined with historically high prices for products grown and mined on cleared tropical woodlands such as soybeans, palm oil and nickel, mean that recent gains are fragile.
There’s no cause for complacency in any of this. The carbon benefits from forests aren’t sufficient to offset more than a sliver of our greenhouse pollution. The idea that they’ll be sufficient to cancel out gross emissions and get the world to net zero by the middle of this century depends on extraordinarily optimistic assumptions on both sides of the equation.
Still, we should celebrate our success in slowing a pattern of human deforestation that’s been going on for nearly 100,000 years. Nothing about the damage we do to our planet is inevitable. With effort, it may even be reversible.

China preparing for war, Indian government asleep: Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Friday that China is preparing for war and the Indian government is sleeping over it and trying to ignore the threat. He also alleged that China has taken away 2,000 square kilometres of Indian territory, killed 20 Indian soldiers and is “thrashing our jawans in Arunachal Pradesh”.
“I can see the threat of China very clearly. I have been clear on this for the last two-three years, but the government is trying to hide it and ignore it. This threat can neither be hidden or ignored. Going by their full offensive preparation that is on in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh, the Indian government is asleep,” Gandhi told a press conference in Jaipur.
“The government does not want to hear this but their (China’s) preparation is on. The preparation is for war. It is not for incursion, but for war. If you look at their weapon pattern, what they are doing — they are preparing for war. Our government hides this and is not able to accept it,” the former Congress chief said.
“They think in terms of event management but where geostrategy is involved, event-based action does not work, power works there. I have said three-four times that we should be careful and understand what is happening. They keep making statements, I see the external affairs minister keeps making remarks, I should not say it, but he should deepen his understanding,” Gandhi said.
The Congress has been accusing the BJP-led government of succumbing to pressure from China and not taking on the neighbouring country after its frequent transgressions at the border.
The opposition party has been saying that the prime minister should take on China and address the border issues with it strongly by looking “eye to eye”.
The Congress has also been seeking a discussion in Parliament on the border issue and Chinese transgressions at the border.

“Clearly, what happened in 2020 was an attempt by one party, EAM Jaishankar Prasad
External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Day 3 of Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022 (HTLS) on Thursday said that although India and China appear to have made significant progress in certain issues, several other matters demand intervention and quick resolution.
“So, I think it's in the nature of what I do that you have to keep pushing. I genuinely believe there will be a realisation, there should be a realisation that the present state of relations is not even in China's own interest,” S Jaishankar said.
He also made clear that “unless there is peace and tranquillity in the border areas... unless there is an observance of agreements and no unilateral attempt to change status quo... the situation cannot be, and is not, normal”.
"It is not just the matter of public sentiments..." he added.
The dragging standoff in the Ladakh sector of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has increased the tension between the two countries and the relationship is strained highly of all times. Even after the two countries underwent more than 24 military and diplomatic meetings, the resolution to the matters creating the tension is far from achieved. The constant talks however did ensure that frontline troops from both banks of Pangong Lake, Gogra and Hot Springs backed off.
“Clearly, what happened in 2020 was an attempt by one party to depart from the agreement and understanding... and that is at the heart of the issue,” the EAM told at the meeting.

NASA Says Earth Is Greener Today Than 20 Years Ago Thanks To China, India
In contrast to the perception of China and India's willingness to overexploit land, water and resources for economic gain, the countries are responsible for the largest greening of the planet in the past two decades. The two most populous countries have implemented ambitious tree planting programs and scaled up their implementation and technology around agriculture.
India continues to break world records in tree planting, with 800,000 Indians planting 50 million trees in just 24 hours.
The recent finding by NASA and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, compared satellite data from the mid-1990s to today using high-resolution imagery.
