About Tipaimukh Project The Tipaimukh Hydroelectric Project is being constructed near the confluence of Bark and Tuivai rivers, in Manipur, India and within 100 km of Bangladesh border. The dam was originally designed to contain floodwaters in the lower Barak valley but hydro power generation was later incorporated into the project.

Basis of Bangladesh’s Concern The environmentalists expressed deep concern that if the project is implemented it could deprive Bangladesh of its share of the international river that supplies waters to hundreds of water bodies in the region. They fear that the dam would ultimately dry up the Meghna River in the greater Sylhet region and nearby districts. The dam will kill all common rivers of the country particularly the Meghna River, the biggest river of the country.

Indo-Bangladesh Ties on Test on Tipaimukh Dam Issue Indo-Bangladesh ties may be adversely affected if the Tipaimukh dam issue is not resolved to the satisfaction of both the countries. Tipaimukh dam is a hydro electric project under construction in Manipur, India, which Bangladesh fears, will affect Bangladesh’s interest in so far as her river water system will be most adversely affected.

India Scores Over China on the ADB Loan Issue Inspite of strong opposition from China, India scored a major diplomatic victory at the Asian Development Bank Board meeting on June, 15, 2009 as all other members voted in favour to grant approval for the $ 2.9 billion India plan. It may be recalled that China was digging its heels in not giving consent to $ 2.9 billion India development plan unless the mention of Arunachal Pradesh was removed from the document. As per press reports China was the lone dissenter at 15th June meeting of ADB board and voted against the India plan that covers the period for the next three years until 2012 arguing that ADB cannot fund projects in ‘disputed areas’ like Arunachal Pradesh.

The BRIC Summit at Yekaterinburg The first ever summit of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) was held in Russian town Yekaterinburg on June 16, 2009. The summit was attended by Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Chinese President Hu Jintao and Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.

Historic Event It was inarguably a historic event in as much as the four largest economies of the world situated on different geographical locations demonstrated a unique camaraderie to speak in one voice deliberating on burning issues affecting the world, particularly the problems of food security, energy security, global financial crisis and terrorism. However, this first ever summit at Yekaterinburg was a short affair, conducted behind closed doors with the world’s media given the briefest glimpses when President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia took the Prepared by :

stage with Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Chinese President Hu Jintao and Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva to term the outcome of what he described as a ‘historic event’.

About BRIC BRIC is an acronym that refers to the fast-growing developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The acronym was first coined and prominently used by Goldman Sachs in 2001. Goldman Sachs argued that, since they are developing rapidly, by 2050 the combined economies of the BRICs could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world. The four countries combined currently account for almost 42% of the world’s population, 25% of world’s land coverage and hold a combined GDP of 15.435 trillion dollars. On almost every scale, they would be the largest entity on the global stage. These four countries are among the biggest and fastest growing emerging markets. Mutuality of interests has brought China, Russia, India and Brazil to form a forum to work together to promote the welfare of their respective people. It is not being argued that the BRICs would organize themselves into an economic bloc or a formal trading association like the ASEAN or political alliance like the European Union. But there are strong indications that the four BRIC countries have been seeking to growing economic power into greater geopolitical clout. On June 16, 2009, the leaders of the BRIC countries held their first summit in Yekaterinburg and issued a declaration calling for the establishment of a multipolar world.

In Britain and Spain, where the left is in power, the verdict was a clear warning to government led by Gordon Brown in Britain and Jose Luis Roderiguez Zapatero in Spain that their defeat in the ensuing general elections could not be ruled out. High unemployment across Europe, fears for jobs, pensions and social security have added to anxiety and increased voter dissatisfaction with main stream parties, making them skeptical of the EU’s power to help spur recovery.

G-8 The G-8 countries are : The UNITED STATES, GERMANY, JAPAN, BRITAIN, FRANCE, ITALY, CANADA AND RUSSIA. The annual G8 leaders summit is attended by eight of the world's most powerful heads of government. However, as noted by commentators the G-8 summit is not the place to flesh out the details of any difficult or controversial policy issue in the context of a three-day event. Rather, the meeting is to bring a range of complex and sometimes inter-related issues. The G8 summit brings leaders together not so they can dream up quick fixes, but to talk and think about them together. The G8 summit is an international event which is observed and reported by news media, but the G8's relevance is unclear.

hosting the year's summit, held for three days in mid-year; and for this reason, Tony Blair and the United Kingdom accumulated the lion's share of the credit for what went right (and wrong) at Gleneagles in 2005. Similarly, Yasuo Fukuda and Japan hope to garner the greater part of the credit for what went well (and what did not) at the Hokkaido Summit in 2008. Each of the 35 G8 summit meetings could have been called a success if the events had been reframed as venues to generate additional momentum for solving problems at the other multilateral conferences that meet throughout the year. The G8 summit sets the stage for what needs to be done and establishes an idea of how to do it, even if that idea is, at best, rough and patchy. The summits have also been the site of numerous, large-scale anti-globalization protests. July 7–9, 34th 2008

Iran’s electoral watchdog, the Guardian Council. Following the declaration of the result of Presidential election in Iran on June 14, in which the present incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared elected President for the second term, there were widespread protests against the results. The pretests engineered by the presidential candidates, particularly by Mir Hossein Mousavi led to clashes between the law and order enforcing authorities and the protesters.

He will have the rank and status of a Cabinet Minister. The Authority will execute what the government believes will be the biggest and most ambitious e-governance project in India. The Unique Identification Authority of India or the UIDAI, is an agency of the Government of India responsible for implementing the envisioned Multipurpose National Identity Card or Unique Identification card (UID Card) project in India. It was established in February 2009, and will own and operate the Unique Identification Number database. The authority will aim at providing a unique number to all Indians, but not smart cards. The authority would provide a database of residents containing very simple data in biometrics Coverage, goals and logistics- It is believed that Unique National IDs will help address the rigged state elections, widespread embezzlement that affects subsidies and poverty alleviation programs such as NREGA. Addressing illegal immigration into India and terrorist threats is another goal of the program. Most reports suggest that the plan is for each Indian citizen to have a unique identification number with associated identifying biometric data and photographs by 2011. However, other reports claim that obtaining a unique number would be voluntary, but those that opt to stay out of the system "will find it very inconvenient: they will not have access to facilities that require you to cite your ID number." Government issued IDs are fragmented by purpose and region in India, which results in widespread bribery, denial of public services and loss of income, especially afflicting poor citizens. As the unique identity database comes into existence, the various identity databases (voter ID, passports, ration cards, licenses, fishing permits, border area ID cards) that already exist in India are planned to be linked to it.
