MAHARASHTRA POLITICS AND RISE OF EKNATH SHINDE

Ukraine,Russian Defeat Could be Dire for America

Is Russia being 'Squeezed' by China on the World Stage

The words ' squeezed' were used by Joe Biden after his last meeting with Vladimir Putin in Geneva. He had referred to China when he uses these words. The fact is the Russian economy is not strong and has now become completely dependent on China. This is more so after the Western powers imposed sanctions on Russia. Putin would like Russia to be known as a great power in the world like it was during the days of the USSR.

 Russia is only a shadow of its old power and its economy is in the doldrums and it has become dependent on China for its survival. In that case, one can safely say that Russia is being squeezed by China and they would like to get out of the Chinese embrace so they can flower as a world power. As things stand China is now the bigger power because of its economic clout and economy of $15 trillion GDP compared to the Russian economy or $1.5 trillion.

Holodomor massacre in Ukraine.

The Holodomor massacre in Ukraine Is held against Stalin and Russians. Many allege that 10 million Ukrainians died of starvation. I think almost 15 countries have passed a resolution calling this is genocide. In India, hardly anybody has heard about this massacre but it is important to know what actually happened.

In 1932-33 the situation was pretty bad and the harvest had failed in most Russian states and it should not be forgotten about 3 million Russians also died of starvation. There was nothing much Stalin could’ve done at that time as there were also threats to his regime. Nevertheless, it was a very sad event that’s so many people should die in Ukraine.

The actual number of people who probably died is not more than 2 to 3,000,000 but that is also a very big number and I do agree that Stalin could have done something more but then with the harvest having fail and Russians also dying of starvation, I wonder what was the solution.

Pakistan greatest threat to World peace

There are many nations but the biggest threat emanates from Pakistan. It is a

nuclear-armed state and at the same time there is a lot of instability there and the extremist Islamic elements are holding the country to ransom as we have just seen with the latest violent demonstrations bordering on Civil War. The reason is the policy of France, this is just like lighting a match to the tinderbox and God forbid if the army becomes radicalized and the nuclear weapons fall into the hands of these jihadis. Pakistan is also harboring terrorists and running terrorist camps and there is no doubt that the entire country poses a great threat to the security and peace of the world.

Emirati( Muslim) girl takes to Fashion and the Cat Walk

Dubai and the UAE are unlike any other place in the Middle East. This is one of the best places for the flowering of fashion and arts. Exhibitions of painting and high-flying fashion shows are held to make Dubai one of the contemporary top art and artistic places in the world. All credit to the ruler of Dubai to have brought this about. Visiting Dubai gives you an unreal feeling as one is witness to stupendous architectural marvels like the Burk Khalifa. Dubai also holds international fashion shows and girls and top models from London, Paris, and New York adorn the catwalk. Dubai and the UAE are unlike any other place in the Middle East. This is one of the best places for the flowering of fashion and arts.

There was a welcome change as a local Emirati girl  Rafeea Al Hajsi took part in the show. She is a girl from the UAE and she confessed that she had an uphill task to rise up in this profession. The event she took part in was the "Arab Fashion week" which is in its 3rd year. Last year's edition had a new girl who was a local Emirati. The show lasted 5 days and attracted record crowds and visitors. It was also broadcast live all over the world.

She was lucky as she was spotted by Lebanese designer  Aiisha Ramadan. The designer offered to showcase Rafeea in her own catwalk show. Rafeea has large brown eyes with height and poise and it showed when she was awarded Arab Fashion week's best-dressed model.

Rafeea has also taken to the ramp in France at the Paris fashion show and this can only be considered a feather in her cap. She has now established herself, and her distinction of being the first fashion model from the UAE is a record that will remain forever. Others will follow but the ice is broken by Rafeea.

Why China is not Accepted in Comity of NATIONS.?

This is not the case. The fact is China has spoiled its copybook by imprisoning millions in concentration camps and at the same time carrying out genocide of Tibetans and Muslims in Sinkiang. China is also trying to dominate the world by conquering Tibet, not respecting international agreements like the Hong Kong agreement and judgments of the International Court, and forcefully occupying the South China Sea. This is the reason the world is disgusted with China and until there is an implosion and this regime is changed China will not find acceptance. We should not forget China is the successor of the Nazi regime of Germany.

China is a country that cannot be trusted as the Indians under Nehru found out soon enough. It is now imperative for the world to unite against the dragon and free the people of Tibet and the Muslims of Sinkiang.
