Geneva Conventions remain relevant

Last week marked 75 years since the adoption of the Geneva Conventions on 12 August 1949. In theory, these rules of war are universally agreed by every nation.

Baloney of ISIS ‘province’

The report by Amaq News Agency of ISIS to the effect that it's supposed affiliate in the Kashmir Valley has established a 'province' or 'Wilayah of Hind', belies the ground realities.

India needs to investigate the ISIS claim of having set up a 'province' from the perspective of its ideological appeal, as opposed to an organisational or geographical construct.
