Well, Alia fans can keep their fingers crossed. Let's just wait and see if their relationship takes to the next level!
Currently, Pakistan is deeply embroiled in its internal economic and security problems, and there are possibilities of India’s provocation over the issue of Kashmir
The threat of nuclear terrorism in South Asia has resumed a greater profile as India and Pakistan continue to maintain a large number of nuclear facilities. The recent hostile attitude of Mr Modi’s government towards Pakistan once again put the process of peace and stability in the region at a spike. India has developed various types of tactical nuclear weapons that have threatened the security of the region. The test of Pakistan’s ballistic missile, Nasr, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and India’s ballistic missile, Prahaar and others, complicated nuclear weapons race in South Asia. India’s tactical nuclear weapons are more dangerous than Pakistan’s. Indian nuclear missiles like Agni-I, Agni-III, VI and V present a bigger threat to the national security of the subcontinent. India has also launched various military and surveillance satellites to enter into an anti-satellite weapons and ballistic missile defence race with China.
India’s ballistic missile Agni-VI’s range is believed to be 10,000 kilometres. This missile can target North Korea, Japan, China and Russia, while its new ballistic missile range is more than 15,000 kilometres, which can target North America. There are speculations in the international press that India is planning to embark on a covert uranium enrichment project to produce thermonuclear weapons. India is desperately seeking modern nuclear technologies to counter the threat of Pakistan’s tactical nuclear weapons. The country has signed nuclear deals with France, Mongolia, the US, Namibia and Kazakhstan.
The two states operate in a strategically competitive triangle that includes China. India is also a bigger challenge for China by developing nuclear missiles to achieve a strategic deterrent against that country. As a strong state, India has adopted a very hostile attitude and continues to create more difficulties for Pakistan and other neighbours. The 2008 Mumbai and the Line of Control incidents prompted deep distrust between the two states. In June 2014, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a stern warning to Pakistan: “I had told you on television that this is not Manmohan Singh’s government, it is Narendra Modi’s government. If you do something, we will also do but we cannot sit quiet.”
Indian Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad criticised Pakistan and its support to extremist groups across the border. Mr Ravi Shankar demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. However, Pakistan-based terrorist groups used the same language against Mr Modi’s government. In its video message, an extremist group, Ansar-ul-Tawheed fi Belad Hind (Brotherhood for Monotheism in India) warned Mr Modi of retaliation for the Gujarat massacre. Moreover, India cancelled its talks with Pakistan on the pretext that Pakistan’s High Commissioner in Delhi had met Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders. The suspension of talks set off alarm bells in the US and China that are stakeholders in the relationship between both the states.
When Pakistani High Commissioner to India Mr Abdul Basit met a Kashmiri separatist leader without the consent of India, it further inflamed Mr Modi’s colleagues in parliament. During his Kashmir visit, Prime Minister Modi made a strong statement against Pakistan. In his Laddakh visit, Mr Modi said the Indian armed forces were suffering more casualties from terrorism than from any war. Mr Modi said that Pakistan continued to support a proxy war against India. Moreover, various politicians in India have issued irresponsible statements against Pakistan, creating a hostile environment in the region. In military circles, India’s new army chief, Dalbir Singh Suhag, also issued a stern warning to Pakistan and said that Pakistan is unable to intercept cross-border infiltration.
Experts of tactical nuclear weapons in South Asia understand that the ruction between the two states could pave the way for a nuclear crisis in the region. We understand that India and Pakistan are deeply concerned over the threat of nuclear terrorism or the use of nuclear improvised explosive devices but there are reports that they have adopted some professional security measures recently that may help prevent terrorists gaining access to their installations. Currently, Pakistan is deeply embroiled in its internal economic and security problems, and there are possibilities of India’s provocation over the issue of Kashmir. In these circumstances, extremist groups in Pakistan could start nuclear terrorism in South Asia.
The future of the nuclear weapons race between Pakistan and India is precarious as both states continue to develop modern tactical nuclear weapons. India has established its military bases in Afghanistan. On October 5, 2013, the foreign secretary of Pakistan said, “We have appraised India of our concerns on terrorism. If India has apprehensions about Pakistan then we have more apprehensions than India,” he said.
As the situation is going to deteriorate in the region, India and Pakistan need to resume talks on all issues including the Line of Control and tactical nuclear weapons. They need to work with each other on these issues that could spark an abrupt nuclear war in South Asia. Notwithstanding all efforts of the international community to help secure the nuclear weapons of both states, and as nuclear facilities and infrastructure have grown, there are concerns that security measures may not be sufficient to protect their nuclear and biological installations. We hope that the involvement of the international community, particularly the US and China, will help to professionalise the security measures of their nuclear and biological weapons. These efforts are considered to be more effective if they also strengthen the mechanism of cooperation. Their cooperation against non-state actors or extremist groups trying to gain access to radiological and nuclear weapons might help their nuclear forces in building an effective security infrastructure around their nuclear installations.

Naziya : Please tell me, What
type of activities of "Deutsche Welle" in diffrent field ?
Prabhat: Deutsche Welle is a german broadcaster. The service is aimed at
the overseas market. It broadcasts news and information on shortwave, Internet
and satellite radio in 30 languages DW (Radio). It has a satellite television
service (DW (TV)), which is available in four languages, and there is also an
online news site. Deutsche Welle, which in English means "German
Wave", is similar to international broadcasters such as the BBC World
Service, France 24, Voice of America, Radio Canada International, Radio Free
Europe and Radio France International.
Deutsche Welle has broadcast
regularly since 1953. Until 2003 it was based in Cologne; then it relocated to
a new building, the "Schürmann-Bau", in Bonn's former government
office area. The television broadcasts are produced in Berlin. Deutsche Welle's
website is produced in both Berlin and Bonn. On 6 February 2012 Deutsche Welle
underwent a significant rebranding.
Deutsche Welle was inaugurated
on 3 May 1953 with an address by the West German President, Theodor Heuss, as
its first shortwave broadcast. On 11 June 1953 the public broadcasters in the
ARD signed an agreement to share responsibility for Deutsche Welle. At first it
was controlled by Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR). In 1955, when this split
into the separate Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR)
networks, WDR assumed responsibility for Deutsche Welle programming. In 1960
Deutsche Welle became an independent public body after a court ruled that
broadcasting from Germany was part of the federal government's foreign-affairs
function. On 7 June 1962 it joined the ARD as a national broadcasting station.
At prasent his three type
services , first DW (Radio): shortwave, cable TV, satellite and digital radio
(DRM) broadcasting in 29 languages, with a 24-hour service in German and
English second DW (TV): satellite television broadcasting mainly in German,
English, Arabic and Spanish. French and Italian were added in 2009 and
Portuguese and Chinese in 2010. and third DW.DE: 34-language website.

about blog prize activities.

author, who has edited the first Hindi blog analysis Book. You wrote first time
"History of Hindi blogging" . This book has been translated into
several languages. So I would like to ask you, what really Hindi Bob's right
under international awards have selected blog?
Prabhat: No, never. Hindi blog for the selection of
the jury made the award, among them the lack of civic sense. Like the frog in
the news-room discussions them seems to be only true and meaningful. In the
selection of Rabish Kumar the discriminatory
act is clearly visible.
Nazia: What is your objection
to the selection?
Prabhat: A blog is not proper to criticize him by name. Yes, I think that
some good blog must be included. For instance Janaki

Vachaspati's Nukkadh, Chhinten aur bauchharen of Ravi Ratalami, Randhir Singh

Khambha, Rekha Srivastava 's Mera
Sarokar etc.

blog do you like the most?
Prabhat: Taslim,Mohalla Live,Chokher Vali & Sarp Sansar. Select these blog do
not disappoint. It really deserves to be nominated as best blog. Good luck with
these blogs.
Prabhat: I mean, it's not better to just accept the blog. Choose something
else in this blog which I consider worth taslim after the vote. - Like the
snake world, with Chokher, Mohalla Live, etc..
Nazia: This is the time of the
vote, based on taslim and pioneer woman blog. So what will be your preference?
Prabhat: See, Taslim is a science blog, which is logical way to his crusade
against superstition. That's why I like him. There are more important things
negative. Has to be given permissions to read it. That is not the only woman in
the category of public blog What to do
then was nominated in the category of best blog?

that Hindi blogs for awards submission process lasted more than a half
months to complete. These blogs can now select jury has nominated. April 3 the
next five weeks, you can vote for your favorite blogs can make him the winner.

Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan has always been in news for his relationship with friends and co-stars. After having a spat with Salman Khan and Shirish Kunder, now Shah Rukh Khan is seen avoiding good friend Arjun Rampal.
According to the latest buzz, Shah Rukh Khan and Arjun Rampal were seen avoiding each other at the launch of Dabboo Ratnani's 2013 calendar. Hrithik, Arjun and SRK who have been close buddies, timed their entry and exit to Dabboo's launch to avoid running in to each other.
Shah Rukh and Arjun were seen together in Om Shanti Om and Ra.One.
Interestingly, Arjun Rampal who is said to be Shah Rukh Khan's good friend is reportedly seen getting pally with another big Khan of Bollywood - Salman Khan.
Now is that the reason, why Shah Rukh is avoiding Arjun?
Singer Taylor Swift, who recently split from One Direction star Harry Styles, reportedly tried to arrange a date with actor Bradley Cooper but he wasn't interested.
The 23-year-old is said to have asked actress Jennifer Lawrence to set her up with her Silver Linings Playbook co-star at a Golden Globe Awards party Sunday.
"Bradley has absolutely no intention of getting together with Taylor. First of all, her reputation precedes her. Bradley is very wary of dating someone who is a bit of a serial dater like Taylor," radaronline.com quoted a source as saying.
Cooper, 38, thinks she is far too young for him and wants to date someone his own age, not 15 years younger because he is ready for something serious.
"It was a little awkward for Bradley. Jennifer came to him and told him that Taylor was interested in getting together. He had to politely decline, knowing full well that Jennifer and Taylor are friends.
"It was an ambitious move from Taylor, but she is going to have fixate on someone else as Bradley's just not that into her," added the source.
Cooper recently split from his on-and-off girlfriend Zoe Saldana.
A source told thesun.co.uk: "Those close to Adele have been told the baby is called Angelo. We are not sure of the significance of the name."
"She's wanted to keep it quiet but it was always going to come out sooner or later. Wearing an Angelo necklace not only backs up what is being said, it suggests she's not worried about people finding out," added the source.
She gave birth to her son in October last year.
The 24-year-old refused to reveal her first child's name at the Golden Globes, where she made her first formal public appearance after becoming a mom.
When asked the name of her baby, she replied: "It is too personal and intimate. I am not ready."
But she added: "I just call him Little Peanut."
