 | | GODHRA- A bandh (shutdown) is being observed in Godhra town in western Indian state of Gujarat yesterday to protest the arrest of Maulana Hussain Umarji, a religious priest holding position in the town, for his alleged involvement in last year's Godhra train carnage. | | | On Thursday, the Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna confirmed that the illegal immigrants had been taken back by Dhaka but he declined to comment on whether the meeting between the two foreign ministers was still on the cards. | | | "Such planted stories are a figment of the imagination of Indian security agencies and part of the same strategy that India has embarked upon for the last few years to malign Pakistan," the mission said in a statement. |

| | This is because for some sections of Indian society and the Indian diaspora, globalization has come as something of a bonanza. | | | That every successive administration in the last decade has eventually succumbed to the pressures of globalization suggests that regardless of how different political formations package their policies in advance of the elections, there is a powerful and very vocal lobby for globalization in India. | | | Those who have been taken in by promises of "partnership" during Clinton's much hyped visit to Indian might note that in spite of all the tall claims, FDI in the months following Clinton's visit actually fell, the trade deficit widened to a new record, and the rupee has shrunk in value. |

| | When the Arab armies invaded Sindh, the local populations were caught completely off guard when their irrigation systems were destroyed and all the rules of chivalry considered customary in the subcontinent appeared to have little relevance for the invaders who sought victory at any cost. | | | No period in Indian history has drawn as much attention and scholarly research as has the period in Indian history that corresponds with Mughal rule. | | | The fact that the Mughals came as alien conquerors and created a vast empire on the basis of shrewdly conceived coercive political strategies and military victories gives apologists for British colonial rule almost an excuse to ignore the uniquely devastating consequences of colonization. |

| | What is quite surprising is that there has been a reluctance to recognise this and one has to conclude that many famous historians of mathematics found what they expected to find, or perhaps even what they hoped to find, rather than to realise what was so clear in front of them. | | | Much more likely is that we are unaware of the contributions made over this 200 year period which must have provided the foundations on which Madhava built his theories. | | | Although the period after the decline of the Vedic religion up to the time of Aryabhata I around 500 AD used to be considered as a dark period in Indian mathematics, recently it has been recognised as a time when many mathematical ideas were considered. |

Bush—who reiterated in the 2004 presidential campaign that his primary concern was the proliferation of nuclear materials—is actively pursuing policies which will likely increase the risk of a catastrophic nuclear confrontation on the Indian subcontinent. | | | It would also be a violation of the 1968 Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, which has been signed and ratified by the United States and calls upon existing nuclear powers to not transfer nuclear know-how to countries which have not signed the treaty. |
