The world’s most spectacular border ceremony takes place every day before dusk at Wagah. Roughly halfway between Lahore in Pakistan and Amritsar in India, Wagah is where the Grand Trunk Road [1] intersects with the so-called Radcliffe Line, dividing the Punjabi town between the two countries. The only official road link [2] across the highly contentious and fairly recently fought-over Indo-Pakistan border passes through the town’s monumental border gate. As large crowds gather on either side of the gate, claps and cheers of “Pakistan Zindabad!” And “Jai Hind!” The apparent intent of the synchronized ceremony is to lower the flag of both nations before sunset.
The East India Company: How a trading corporation became an imperial ruler. In 1600, a group of London merchants led by Sir Thomas Smythe petitioned Queen Elizabeth I to grant them a royal charter to trade with the countries of the eastern hemisphere.
And so, the ‘Honourable Company of Merchants of London Trading with the East Indies’ – or East India Company, as it came to be known – was founded. Few could have predicted the seismic shifts in the dynamics of global trade that would follow, nor that 258 years later, the company would pass control of a subcontinent to the British crown. The company has recently been featured in BBC1’s period drama Taboo – central character James Delaney, played by Tom Hardy, comes into conflict with the EIC, which is characterised as a mighty and villainous organisation.

India's demonetisation - taking the bull by the horns - Chris Skinner's blog. I seem to find most of the truly exciting stories these days are happening in unexpected places.
Tanzania, Indonesia, Turkey, China, Brazil … and specifically India. I wrote a fair bit about the demonetisation program in India at the beginning of December, saying that it’s a laudable objective but a flawed one, as 95% of the Indian population aren’t using mobile payment systems today and 88% haven’t even heard about it. That’s all changing though, thanks to further government intervention. L'attacco aereo dell'India in Pakistan fa comodo a Islamabad. Le Cachemire, un casse-tête cartographique.

Les noirs bleus d'Inde. Phugtal Monastery, India. Phuktal Monastery or Phuktal Gompa is one of the most isolated monastery in the south-eastern Zanskar region in Ladakh district of Jammu and Kashmir in northern India.
The monastery is a unique construction of mud and timber built at the entrance of a natural cave on the cliff face of a lateral gorge of a major tributary of the Lungnak (Lingti-Tsarap) River. From a distance, the monastery looks like a giant honeycomb. Phuktal Gompa was founded in the early 12th century by Gangsem Sherap Sampo, a disciple of Gelug founderTsongkhapa.

Kathmandu's false dawn: how PM Oli lost the plot & what India can do. Nepal Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli heads one of the strangest coalitions imaginable in parliamentary politics. Maoists form the mainstay of his government and control important ministries such as Home, Energy and Forest.
Rabid right-wing monarchists run other major departments, including the all-important Foreign Ministry.

Ex-minor ex-Maoists. In a shanty town behind Kathmandu Airport, by the stinking Manohara River, Sukmaya Tamang keeps a careful eye on her four-year-old son playing outside as she works on her sewing machine. Tamang, now 24, joined the Maoist ‘People’s Liberation Army’ when she was 13 years old, studying in Grade Six of a school in Batase of Sindhupalchok.

Photo KATHMANDU, Nepal — Ten summers ago in Nepal, the Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal emerged from hiding just as the decade-long insurgency he had directed was pushing the country’s monarchy to its knees. The rebel chief was picked up by a government helicopter, then whisked to the prime minister’s residence in Kathmandu to begin official peace talks.
By that time, after more than 20 years in hiding, he had become a legend, widely known by his nom de guerre, Prachanda, meaning “the fierce one.” Few knew what he looked like.

China may make moves in Arunachal and Andamans’ As the impasse continues at the India-Bhutan-China tri-junction, India keeps insisting on a dialogue, but Beijing has limited the scope for diplomatic negotiation after repeated threats.
The impression it has conveyed is that it would be unwise to expect action in Doklam, but the going may get tough in Arunachal Pradesh as well as Andamans and Nicobar Islands, says Jayadeva Ranade. Ranade, a former additional secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat, is president of the Centre for China Analysis and Strategy. China, through the road to Gymochen, ultimately wants to reinforce claims on Arunachal, feels Ranade.
The next month will be critical before winter starts setting in in September, he says. Ranade expects no immediate solutions: “The whole thing hinges on a deal,” he says. The ball is in China's court, which has been cold to India's offer for a dialogue. Le Bhoutan abandonne l'Indice du Bonheur National Brut. - Sociologiser.

L’année 1989 symbolise, dans la mémoire collective, la fin du communisme en Europe, mais il faudra attendre plus de deux ans pour assister à la dissolution de l’Union soviétique et à l’accès des cinq républiques d’Asie centrale à leur indépendance.
Pourtant, dès le début de l’année 1989, avant-même la chute du mur de Berlin, la région fut le siège de plusieurs signes avant-coureurs : le retrait de l’Armée Rouge en Afghanistan ; l’arrêt des essais nucléaires soviétiques au Kazakhstan ; l’apparition des premières tensions interethniques dans la vallée du Ferghana ; l’adoption par chaque république d’une loi sur la langue.
