Towards an endgame? Turkey makes a decisive move against Kurdish •fighters on the border with Syria

January 20,Turkish President RecepTayyip Erdo•an announced thatTurkish forces alongside the

Free Syrian Army

Turkey has long threatened to enter Syria and clear out the forces of the U.S.backed Syrian

Democratic Forces (SDF).

The SDF was created in 2015 by the various Syrian Kurdish political forces and their military

wing, the People’s Protection Units (YPG), and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ)

The SDF was created as a platform for the Syrian Kurds to join with these other groups into

an antiIS military alliance.

But, to theTurks, it has always been clear that the SDF is dominated by Syrian Kurds, and

is therefore essentially a Kurdish project.

Heart of the con•ict

The war to defeat the IS at Raqqa, the major city in northern Syria


Getting back on the democratic path India gave itself a great system but now does not seem to know how to keep it up to

standard

India remains woefully short of its potential.

Whatever our excuses-The whole essence of… Parliamentary Government lies in the

intention to make the thing work… [its] strength… is exactly measured by the unity of political

parties upon its fundamental objects.

Our social tensions need sensitive healing.

Our administrative machinery desperately needs efficiency

Countries worldwide •find existing governmental systems unable to cope with contemporary

challenges or people’s expectations, some even with basic needs

Democracy depends on the Enlightenment’s ideals

offering no vision, no version of our future, which could possibly inspire anybody


Continue China’s record over the last century is hardly edifying revolutions, civil war, famines

, warlords, etc.

Corruption is rampant, sloth and incompetence hardly unknown,

but things get done because there is a directing force

Which devises and executes forward looking plans for national greatness.

We gave ourselves a great system but have not known how to keep it up to standard.

A government must be •fitted to a nation as much as a coat to the Individual

Power between executive, legislature and judiciary is undermined

Our political executives are selfseeking while the permanent branches are dysfunctional;

Our legislatures hardly meet and when they do there is bedlam;

Our judiciary, the last remaining estate to retain some public respect,

Some problems have no solutions-We never grew out of our old ways.

Khap panchayats, disgraceful dowry systems, blatant practice of untouchability


Continue The road map ahead

We need a planned, determined push to make our system work and modernise.

Only an organised body with such a purpose can do anything

We the people are ultimately responsible but political leaders have to lead
