| Summary/Abstract |
This article tries to examine the role played by the Army during a natural disaster. India's federal set-up tends to complicates issues and, quite often, politics dominates the humanitarian aspect, which leads to delays in the development of the army. This article is a case study of the Kosi flood of 2008 in Bihar, which was an outstanding example of civil-military cooperation. The article also analyses the successful efforts made by retired Army personnel for curbing the Naxal problems in the state. But the article also poses certain questions: Is the deployment of the army in humanitarian crises good for it? Will political controversies damage the credibility and effectiveness of the Army?

| Summary/Abstract |
Nepal used to be a safe zone for India. China was least interested in Nepal till 1950s. But strategic design changed once China forcefully occupied Tibet. Nehru tried to strengthen the Indian positioning in Himalayan sphere vis-àvis China. Things became more complicated once China started intruding in Nepal. This article tries to see the emerging Chinese threats from Nepal. Since 1,751 km India-Nepal border runs through 20 districts of five Indian states. The India-Nepal border is open. China has tried through its long strategy to erase Nepalese dependency on India. The Maoist forces in Nepal have played
the China card to balance India. Rails and roads infrastructures have created a route through which China can move to Indian heartland. The economic and other Chinese packages are designed to weaken India's strategic gain in Nepal. If Chinese wave continues unabated in Nepal, India might face multiple security threats in future.

| Summary/Abstract |
The world of politics is changing. The two centuries dominations of the West are coming to a natural end. China and India are two leading Asian powers to shape world politics. This framework itself has generated new angles in the world politics. China has already proved to be a world power, India is ascending. This will be a game changer for world politics. Moreover, it will alter the Indian security paradigm to a large extent.

| Summary/Abstract |
The contributions of Modi in the field of foreign policy have been his visits to Bhutan and Nepal after becoming the prime minister which was unheard of earlier. That has boosted the Himalayan spheres which were ignored for almost seven decades. His invitation to the heads of these countries for his oath taking ceremony was to continue the trajectory of good friendly relations with neighbours while also removing any apprehensions of these nations against India. He seems to be determined to streamline the sea route of India which became the easy route of terrorist outfits. Moreover he has been trying to connect India with the disconnected part of the world. These factors will pay great dividends in the future if India is sincerely committed to shape a strong strategic culture through its cohesive foreign policy.

| Summary/Abstract |
An unceasing growth of gas consumption in domestic households, industry, and power plants has gradually turned natural gas into a major source of energy. Main drivers in this development are the technical and economic advantages of natural gas. It is a clean, versatile, and easily controllable fuel. On this basis, natural gas is often considered the form of energy that will be the "bridging fuel" to a sustainable energy system, sometime after 2050. Unlike other main sources of energy, such as oil and coal, gas is not traded on an actual world market. This paper provides an overview on demand and supplies of natural gas (LNG) in the past as a function of gas prices, gas technology (gas sweetening, liquefaction, shipping and re-gasification), and gas market and how they have changed recently. It also discusses the likely developments in global LNG demand for the period to the year 2030.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Naxal problem has become the biggest internal threat to the country. Especially after the comments of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2007, it has become a matter of concern as well as a subject of academic debate. The new thought, innovative ideas and fresh planning have been developed to address this issue extensively and intensively. In this backdrop, a case study of Central Bihar becomes relevant to focus the light on this issue. It is an established fact that Naxalism in Bihar had made its route through Central Bihar. When the Counterinsurgency mechanism crushed the first bubbles of Naxalism in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, it found its breeding ground in Central Bihar. Repeated massacres and Naxal terror in Central Bihar became the concern for the country in 1980s and 1990s. It argues that the changing socio-economic conditions along with other factors massively restricted the Maoist popularity and strength in the Central Bihar.

| Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar is opening itself to the world. Gradually, the Military 'Junta' has come to terms and decided to accommodate the democratic voices of people. But there is a long journey ahead before things can be better placed. The lengthy serpentine rule of military for more than five decades did not allow the institutions to germinate and take proper shape. It resulted in multiple vices in terms of managing a state order in a nation-state. One after the other, challenges became obnoxious in a liberal military rule.

| Summary/Abstract |
End-use electricity efficiency improvements offer an inexpensive way to reduce power shortages. The present study estimates the potential of demand-side management efficiency improvement targeted at (1) short-term efficiency improvement (agricultural pump rectification) that can provide immediate relief, and (2) long-term efficiency improvement (appliance standards such as AC and refrigerator, new agricultural pump purchase and pump replacement) for Gujarat state in India. The methodology includes the calculation of cost of conserved energy for each technology, which works out to be (-1.18) US$ cents/kW h for new agriculture pump sets, 1.03 US$ cents/kW h for refrigerators and 5.21 US$ cents/kW h for air conditioners. The price of power varies around 1.13 US$ cents to 12.1 cents/kW h in Gujarat. The annual energy savings from the selected energy-efficient technologies are approximately 8767 GW h over a period of 10 yr, while the estimated peak power savings are about 1814 MW, large enough to eliminate one-fourth of the state's electricity shortages. Also, the estimated CO2 emissions savings are about 7715 Giga grams (Gg) from implementation of the selected energy efficiency measures over a period of 10 yr.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Caspian Sea region is one of the oldest oil-producing areas in the world and is an increasingly important source of global energy production. The area has significant oil and natural gas reserves from both offshore deposits in the Caspian Sea itself and onshore fields in the Caspian basin. Traditionally an oil-producing area, the Caspian area's importance as a natural gas producer is growing quickly. Aside from Azerbaijan's oil production, the Caspian Sea largely was untapped until the collapse of the Soviet Union. With several newly independent countries gaining access to valuable hydrocarbon deposits, the different countries have taken diverging approaches to developing the energy resources of the area.

There has been much talk of the shifting of power from West to East. The rise of China along with India and Japan was flared up that the 21st Century is destined to be an Asian century. But there are many disruptions. Will China become as a super power in the same status as the Britain and America controlled the International system? One of the thinkers of world politics, Richard Haass explained that a super power needs to have besides economic and military powers an ability to intervene politically in any part of the world and prove its unparalleled strength.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recently, RTI has again stirred a major controversy between the two leading political parties and personalities in the forthcoming general election. The bringing of six political parties under the scanner of RTI is still a matter of debate. If the political parties are an instrument of democracy and democracy has to be scaled on parameter of transparency and accountability, RTI becomes very relevant to it but more of politics and less of concrete actions are what is visible. Whistle blowers and RTI activists are being targeted in different states of India. It proved the fact that still the legal instrument is widely practiced by an individual rather than by established institutions.

There has always been personality cult in foreign policy. For almost six decades Indian foreign policy was categorized as a Nehruvian Foreign Policy; a policy which post Nehru followed the same road map. Since the beginning of Modi as a Prime Minister experts started talking about the switch over from Nehruvian foreign policy. Under the leadership of the current Prime Minister a course correction was done.

India has inherited British regime, but failed to catch up some of the structures which were laid out by the regime. Independent India did not imagine of a strong naval base in Indian Ocean. The look east policy did initiate importance of Indian Ocean but remained confined to economic trade and commerce, the strategic insight remained missing. The current regime did start it innings with a strong dose of security and strategic concerns under the banner of Indian foreign policy. Three major thoughts were intertwined.

The dawn of the Asian century has made East Asia very crucial for India’s strategic calculus. South China is epicentre of strategic rivalry of the great powers. Recently, China reacted strongly against India for becoming a strong centre of power in this region. China has reacted angrily to reports of possible joint patrolling by the U.S. and India in the South China Sea, most of which is claimed by Beijing.

| Summary/Abstract |
The trade between India and Vietnam is estimated to be 8$ billion targeted 15$ billion by 2020, whereas Sino-Vietnam trade has already reached $ 95.82 billion in 2015. The bilateral trade between China and ASEAN have reached $472 billion in 2015, which is over six times than that of India’s trade with ASEAN. The Chinese presence in the region is wide and deep. India and the US joint ventures need to work out a long term strategy which must not be limited to military and strategic; it has to scale up economic ties as well. It must succeed to dismantle excessive dependence on China, especially sourcing raw materials.
