Here is the information that tells about the dealing of India with such dialogues. As soon as the first nuclear warhead hits the Indian Mainland, India’s policy of ‘no first use’ goes out into the drain. After a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security, the government issued a statement on January 4, 2003, spelling out India’s nuclear doctrine and the operational of its nuclear deterrent. The salient features of the government statement included the following: India will build and maintain a credible minimum deterrent; follow a no-first-use posture; and will use nuclear weapons only “in retaliation against a nuclear attack on Indian territory or on Indian forces anywhere .” It was also affirmed that nuclear retaliation to a first strike will be massive and designed to inflict unacceptable damage;  retaliatory attacks will be authorized only by the civilian political leadership through the Nuclear Command Authority; nuclear weapons will not be used against nonnuclear weapo

This maybe shocking, but the primary reason is ' low demand for high speed internet' ! If you can get 30 people to signup for high-speed internet within 300 meter radius of your house, then your internet service provider would be happy to give you high speed internet! I am not just making this up, but I really tried to do it about 3 years ago. Information from a general public user: About until 1.5years ago, the only internet provider at many location was BSNL. People were using their 4 Mbps plan which was the highest possible plan at my location. Yes, 4 Mbps is a pretty descend speed and was enough to watch YouTube videos and to maks Skype calls. Although I was on an 'Unlimited' plan, there was a strange thing called FUP or Fair Usage Policy in India, which throttles your speed to 512Kbps if you use more than 20GB data. I used to hit that limit within 20 days every month, even if I do everything to conserve data. (FUP is still there in India) This may stil

Skill India  is one of the most ambitious projects for  Prime Minister Narendra Modi  , through which he wishes to create the world's largest pool of workforce in India.  Apart from forming the largest workforce, the government also aims at giving flight to entrepreneurial dreams of youth, both in urban and rural areas.  As per the Indian government statistics, 65 per cent of Indians are under the age of 35 and by 2025, almost 1 in 5 of the world's working age population will be an Indian.   "The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna is aiming at training one crore youth in next 10 years through various schemes like vocationalization of school education, apprenticeship, etc," said Siddharth Chaturvedi, Director, AISECT, one of India's skills based educational network.  Hence here is 5 biggest challenges for PM Modi for making Skill India more powerful. 1.  Employment:  Around 15 per cent of the Indian workforce gets employed in the organized sector,

Facebook today introduced tools and educational resources to support Indians struggling with  self-injury  or suicidal tendencies.  Developed in collaboration with mental health organizations and with input from people who have personal experience with self-injury and suicidal tendencies,  Facebook  has rolled it out in India in collaboration with local partners (AASRA and The Live Love Laugh Foundation) in English and Hindi.  In case someone posts something on Facebook that makes you concerned about their well-being, you can reach out to them directly — and you also can also report the post to  Facebook  directly. The company now has teams working around the world, 24/7, who review reports that come in. They prioritize the most serious reports like self-injury and send help and resources to those in distress.  The company is also introducing a  Help A Friend in Need guide  in India.

India is a diversified Country. Not only in languages, clothing or weather but also in the type of food consumed. The foods are largely influenced by the geographical locations and the ingredients grown in the native. Although these days we see foods from all regions everywhere, it is also important to try the local cuisines while travelling. Here is the list of Platters, generally called as Thalis from all regions of India. Do let us know your experiences with the thalis you have eaten. 1. Andhra Thali The cuisine of Andhra Pradesh belongs to two regions-Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra. The food of Andhra Pradesh is very well known for generous use of spices andtamarind..

India will need to wait a while longer before it joins the elite club of nation s that control trade in adva nced nuclear  technologies, acco rding to three diplomats with knowled ge of the process. The Nuclear Suppliers Group, or NSG, is unlikely to accept India's application for membership when it meets June 20 in Seoul because officials in New Delhi haven't yet met all the criteria for admission, said the diplomats, who represent governments inside the 48-nation group, according to the Bloomberg News.  They asked not to be named inline with diplomatic rules for discussing private deliberations. A delay could roil plans by President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who were meeting in Washington on Tuesday, to bring the world'ssecond-most-populous nation into the nuclear mainstream. It would push back a decision on Indian membership to later in the year, and risk bumping into the U.S. presidential election. Secretary of State John Ker

Verbal abuse  (also known as reviling or "  verbal  bullying") is described as a negative defining statement told to the victim or about the victim, or by withholding any response, thereby defining the target as non-existent.  The most maddening—and the most common—response I get when I write about the daughters and sons of unloving mothers is that people point out that the ones I write about were "only" ( quotations marks mine, and meant ironically ) verbally  abused. Science knows better, but the culture does not; the mantra seems to be that if you’re not bleeding or physically maimed, you’re not  really  hurt. Words  are  powerful: They can lift us up and beat us down, soothe us or wound us. Here’s a brief run-down of what science knows about verbal aggression and which you should too, especially if you’re a parent or just a member of the human  race . Verbal aggression and abuse can be part of an intimate relationship or  friendship  but it also shows up
