Collective identity refers to a person's sense of belonging to a group. Identity of the group, or the 'collective,' becomes a part of the person's individual identity. Idea here is that by participating in social activities, a person can develop a sense of belonging and an identity that goes beyond the person

India criticised North Korea‘s decision to test athermonuclear device on Sunday,


Sabre-rattling-Threat of military force

Direct talks are the only way out to deescalate the crisis in the Korean peninsula. North Korea‘s adventurism continues On Sunday, it tested what it claims was a ―hydro-gen bomb‖, its sixth nuclear weapons test. South Korea and Japan have significantly enhanced their defense capabilities, including

spending on missile defense. South Korea‘s new President Moon Jae-in, who is in favor of talks, has now accepted the

U.S.‘s missile defense system, THAAD- which is opposed locally by many South Koreans. Presence of the U.S. military shield in South Korea and Japan China, the only regime with some degree of influence — though it is not clear exactly how

much over the North Korean regime. In light of all this, it is important to de-escalate the conflict by having direct talks involving

the U.S., China, South Korea and North Korea. Multilateral talks are, in fact, by far the best option



Failed PSLV attempt to launch a navigation satellite is unlikely to affect future missions IRNSS-1H satellite was launched as a replacement for the IRNSS-1A satellite, which became

in operational in terms of surveillance following the failure of all three atomic clocks. After 39 consecutive successful launches, the Indian Space Research Organisation had

almost made it appear that launching satellites was indeed child‘s play when it used its workhorse rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.

But the PSLV, which has been placing satellites in their respective orbits for thepast 24 years, faced a setback on August 31.

PSLVC39 rocket carrying 8th satellite of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) had a normal lift-off• and •flight events but ended in an unsuccessful mission.

This is just the second instance when the PSLV has had an unsuccessful mission in all of its 41 launches; the •first setback was back in 1993.


Down but not out


February it set a world record by launching 104 satellites in one go. Failed mission serves as a reminder that utmost care and scrutiny are required before every

single launch. Space organisation has thrown open its doors to private companies to build as many as 18

spacecraft a year beginning mid or end-2018. As only six of the seven satellites are operational, there are gaps in the navigation data sent

by the IRNSS. With the failure of this mission, India will have to wait for some more time before the next

mission to send a replacement for the IRNSS-1A satellite is ready. The IRNSS was created so that the country would not need to rely on American-based GPS

data — the encrypted, accurate positioning and navigation information provided by the system will make Indian military operations self-reliant.

Making up for lost time

In the past half century, India and Myanmar have lost the habit of thinking of themselves as neighbours.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on an bilateral visit to Myanmar from September 5. This follows upon his earlier ASEAN-related visit in November 2014 and former Prime

Minister Manmohan Singh‘s visit in May 2012. Taking into account Mr. Modi‘s 1)-‗Neighborhood First‖, 2)-‗Act East‘ and 3)-Diaspora policies, 4)-International and domestic developments



The visit is taking place amidst some of the worst violence involving Rohingya militants and the Myanmar security forces ever resulting in a full-•edged international crisis triggered by large-scale, coordinated attacks by Rohingya militants under a recently formed ArakanRohingya Salvation Army (ARSA, now designated as ‗terrorists‘) against government and security outposts in northern Rakhine state on August 25-26.

Visit is also taking place against the backdrop of uncertainties in the future India-China relationship caused by the now defused Doklam stand-off• and the BRICS summit.

Sensitive to its location between the two Asians giants, Myanmar is keen to leverage thegrowth potential of good relations with Asia‘s two fastest growing economies.

But it is also wary of its economic dependence on China, characterised by a largely extractiverelationship focussed on natural resources and access to the Bay of Bengal where it already has an oil and gas terminal, concession to build a Special Economic Zone


The Rohingya crisis


Indian insurgent groups in Myanmar, which remain a matter of concernModi‘s much anticipated visit will most likely be taken up by the fundamentals of the

bilateral relationship: 1)- Substantive development partnership, 2)-Trade issues, and 3)-Revival of cultural and people to-people ties. 4)-Defence relations too have been growing steadily->between the two armies and navies. 5)-Security related talks- maritime security

Critical to this trade are Indian imports of beans and pulses that play a vital part in our food security and Myanmar‘s economy.

Standing at around a million tonnes and $1 billion in value, over 90% of which is exported to India, it is vital to Myanmar‘s farmers and foreign exchange earnings, greater even inthe value of its exports of rice to China that are prone to periodic restrictions, tough inspections and crackdowns on informal trade at the Myanmar-China border.

Objective should be to restore the balance in Myanmar‘s relations between East and South Asia that has been lost with the eastward tilt in Myanmar‘s external relations over 50 years of insular military rule during which the two countries have forgotten the habit of thinking of themselves psychologically as immediate neighbours.
