| Summary/Abstract |
The legendary carrier battles of World War II symbolise the utility and
varied missions of sea-based aviation. The aircraft carrier has played
a vital role in naval affairs ever since, continuing to demonstrate its
diverse capabilities in various combat operations since 1945. The
carrier has retained its standing, both as an operational requirement
and as a symbol of national prestige, making it an essential component
of navies and indispensable to their strategic interests.

| Summary/Abstract |
Balochistan is an ancient land though the history of its people and
earliest inhabitation is shrouded in mist and debate. Its geographical
location had given it a distinct position as a bridge between the
Indian and Mesopotamian civilisations. Archaeological discoveries
at Mehergarh in Balochistan date it among the earliest civilisations in
the world; the Kech civilisation in central Makran dates back to 4000
BC; the buried city near Zahidan, the provincial capital in western
Balochistan, now in Iran, dates back to 3000 BC

| Summary/Abstract |
The Islamic State (IS) terror group continues to operate and endure
five years after its founding in 2014 and after the loss of its caliphate in
March this year. The IS has also endured the killings of its Caliph Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi in October and other senior leaders in the last few
years. A factor in the resilience of the IS is the nature of its organisational
structure – which is quite ambiguous, with no clear hierarchy – that is
not severely affected by leadership decapitations or territorial losses.
However, a larger force behind its survival is its ideological appeal and
emphasis on using violence to achieve its ends. The IS has invested a
lot of resources and expertise in propagating and micromanaging its
ideological message across the jihadist landscape. The ideology of the
IS – a mix of Salafi-jihadism, Sunni extremism and a nihilistic outlook
– has found resonance among radical sympathisers worldwide and
had managed to bridge the gap between jihadist thought and action by
establishing a functioning Islamic caliphate in 2014, something that no
other Islamist terror group had been able to do
