BY K P PASWAN.   In recent days Refugees and Immigrants have become headlines of every leading newspapers all over the world. There is a wide difference between these two words, but both are creating political problems for every country.

  BY K P PASWAN Jimmy carter was a failed president of mighty US, who failed in Iran and in the middle east. But his younger (he is still alive) made humiliating remark,which cannot be quoted. Democrats are generally anti-Semitic and had never been friendly with Israel.

TRUE STORY   These days a small neighboring country of India has become a major place of tourist attractions for newly wedded celebrities from India.These celebrities enjoyed multiple marriages and are hungry for publicity.

BY K P PASWAN .   India is a land of diversity. The diversity was united by the British, when India was under colonial rule. The legendary PM Indira Gandhi was of different opinion. According to her, there was a feeling of oneness in the country from ancient times, when people from south visited holy places in north India. for conducting religious rituals and similarly people from north used to visit south for conducting pilgrimage. The late PM was right as the sense of belonging to one country is prevailing from time immemorial. But that sense of belonging does not mean the emergence of modern united India. We find that from ancient time, India was divided into countless small kingdoms ruled by influential local chiefs. Some of them were master of huge population and called himself as king. These kings always fought for expansion of their kingdom. Some of the kings were highlighted by their victories over their rivals. We also find that these kings, barring exceptions took welfa
