WHAT It was in British India of the mid-1940s that a military airstrip came to be built for use of the Royal Air Force near the sleepy little village of Yelahanka, some 15 kilometres north of the largely military township of Bangalore cantonment. As in the case of some of the other wartime airstrips built in India, use was probably made of the captive labour force available in the form of thousands of Italian combatants shipped out from Africa to the many POW camps in India, following Italy’s surrender in Ethiopia. The aviation centenary’s subsequent events in Australia, Germany, Abu Dhabi, and USA, culminating in the biennial Paris Air Show in June were still in the offing when Indian Air Force Station Yelahanka in South India found itself already in the aviation news, staging Aero India 2003 between 5–9 Feb 2003. www.indiadefence.com /aero1.HTM   (1455 words)

The secession of the rich Fears of secession have led the Indian government to considerable acts of represssion, not only in Kashmir, but in the North-East, in actions against "insurgency" or "terrorism": a demonstration that the country will be held together by whatever force is necessary. The diversity and cultural richness of secular India is at stake. It is essential that those states in which Hindus are in a minority--Jammu and Kashmir, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab--should also identify with the idea of India. www.expressindia.com /fe/daily/19990422/fex22020.html   (10915 words)

Only Cong can bring progress to Mizoram - Sify.com Following the famine of 1966, Mizoram was overtaken by a vicious insurgency (assisted by the closer geographic proximity of Bangladesh and Burma to Mizoram than most of India) which lasted for all of 20 years till Rajiv Gandhi, with unparalleled wisdom and greatness of heart, brought peace to Mizoram in 1986. Geographically, Mizoram clings to the edge of India in the far east of the country, wedged between Bangladesh and Myanmar and, in many ways, substantially cut off from the rest of the country.

Asia Times: BOOK REVIEW Dragon versus peacock Chou's assurance of military support to Ayub Khan emboldened Pakistan before the 1965 war and it was indeed China's "three-day ultimatum" in September threatening to start war on the Sikkim boundary that forced India to accept the ceasefire. India covets this territory as crucial to the defense of the "Siliguri Neck" and its entire northeast, a region troubled by ethnic separatist movements that were openly supported and encouraged by China between 1962 and 1979. Maoist China came up with "Afro-Asianism" as a counter to Nehru's non-alignment, drawing a line between the "revolutionary camp" and the "imperialist camp" and often accusing India of acting as a Trojan horse for the West and later the USSR. www.atimes.com /ind-pak/DD27Df02.html   (4050 words)
