However it is desirable as a part of long range planning to develop alternative sources of energy in view of the finite nature of resources like coal and gas.

Islamic invasion, Christian colonialism, destruction of Sanskrit education and Marxist influence had a disastrous influence on Hindu society. The social and psychological conditioning suffered by Hindus lead frequently to the erosion of cultural identity and the depersonalization of individuals. It is therefore, not surprising that the production of intellectuals dwindled. The repercussions of long period of Islamic oppression and colonization , in the wake of social and cultural disintegration and the trauma suffered by Hindus as a whole, persist even today. Everybody seem to agree that Hindu civilization is now facing a crisis. Entrenched forces from within and without have joined together to de-structure or destroy our thoughts , beliefs, practices and values. http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/189.html Strategic Security Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:08:00 +0000 For several years dogmatic Marxist ideology has developed many steps closer to its goal of "wiping the Hindu nation off the map". Marxists have joined with several dogmatic, fundamentalist ideologies and British colonialists to de-structure and dismantle Hindu society. In collaboration with our enemies, Marxists have made several attempts to destroy the "oldest surviving culture" and have made several "apocalyptic utterances" and social engineering schemes to restructure Hindu society. But Hindu society with its all inclusive, eclectic philosophy and tolerant attitudes survived and prospered. http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/impending-dangers-to-india-political-survival-678.html Strategic Security Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:25:00 +0000 Observing Pakistan http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/Peace-Prizes-And-Pimping-Pinkos-137.html Strategic Security Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:43:18 +0000 "No one calls a rape a complex gynecologic emergency. A rape is a rape, just as genocide is genocide. And both are crimes" http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/Clash-Of-Civilizations:-A-Hindu-Response-136.html Strategic Security Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:39:29 +0000 Huntington's thesis about the clash of civilizations and of the need for particular civilizational collaborations to counter the Chinese (Sinic) and the Islamic civlizational threats are fraught with contradictions and mired in mischief. Hindu civilizational values, of which Huntington makes some favorable evaluations, are challenged if not rejected by Christian religionists whose values and agendas undergird Western civilizational concerns. To expect therefore a Hindu collaboration with Western forces flies in the face of history and present global dispensations. This paper will adumbrate on the conditions that will enable, in future, collaboration with peoples across the globe, and not just with those whose allegiance is to Western civilization. http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/Faith,-Diplomacy-And-India-135.html Strategic Security Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:35:06 +0000 The motivation behind writing this article is to explore a relatively new area of Religion, Diplomacy and International relationships. This aspect is far too relevant as the inevitable globalization and new diplomatic methods resulting in international law is underway at tremendous pace to be ignored. One cannot but revisit the assumptions and the bases of nation-state entities and policies. This article presents the motivations, rationale and fundamentals and importance of this new study to the security of India and Hindus. It is intended to be a discussion paper on this very issue. The sincere hope is to raise the awareness, level of discussion and debate, and work it into a new framework that addresses Hindu issues in this new global politics paradigm. http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/P-6--And--Nuclear-Truth-134.html Strategic Security Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:31:09 +0000 The U.S. and India agreed this week to correct a thirty-seven year old mistake - the US asked the 44-member Nuclear Supplier Group to recognize India as a nuclear-armed power with equal access to fuel and technology, and India would bring its civilian nuclear facilities under international inspection of safeguards, and accounting of the fuel cycle. http://www.india-forum.com/strategic_security/Affairs-Of--ISI-133.html Strategic Security Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:27:01 +0000 The Indian Social Institute (ISI) was founded by Jesuits in 1951 in India1, the same research institute that mentored Angana Chatterji of CIIS - California Institute of Integral Studies. The vision and mission of ISI is to deal with the "challenges of nation building and a new emerging social order of independent India"2 .
