India at UN : ASIA supports

India's candidacy for a non-permanent seat in the Security Council has been endorsed by all 53 member states of the Asian group in the UN General Assembly.

Nineteen countries including Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh spoke in favour of giving India a slot on the Security Council table from January next year at a meeting in New York.

Last month, India's path to a non-permanent seat got clear after its sole competitor from Asia, Kazakhstan, backed out of the race.

The Indian candidacy already enjoys extensive support among the member-states of the United Nations outside the Asia group as well, according to Indian diplomats.

The Security Council is made up of 15 states -- five permanent members who have the Veto power and 10 non-permanent members elected for a two-year term.

To win, India needs two-thirds of the General Assembly vote, which adds up to about 128 counties saying yes to India's presence in the Council.

Even before Kazakhstan dropped out, diplomats here say 122 votes were in India's favour but now that it is the sole runner from Asia, more votes are expected.

Running after more than a decade, India has orchestrated a year-long campaign led by India’s envoy to the UN, Hardeep Singh Puri, who has campaigned locally here in New York and at multilateral events at the United Nations.

Happy Ramzan

Today is the Day of Ramzaan all across the South-East and South Asia. The New Moon has been sighted yesterday allowing all our Muslim brothers to get ready for the Ramzaan/Ramdan/Ramzan.
They all have been fasting for the past 30 days in the holy month of Ramzan for the precious blessings of Allah.
Let us all hope that Allah will listen to us and help us in the situation where there is tension prevailing all over the Globe. We all let us bow down ask Allah to help us get out of this situation and stay in peace and harmony.


I wish all my Muslim brothers across the Globe a Happy Ramzan. I Wish all your prayers turn positive and bring good harmony and proseperity to us and thus help us all to save our beloved Earth.

The Himalayas

The Himalaya Range or Himalayas for short (English pronunciation: /hɪˈmɑːləjə/ or /ˌhɪməˈleɪ.ə/; Sanskrit: हिमालय:), meaning "abode of snow",is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of a massive mountain system that includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and other, lesser, ranges that extend out from the Pamir Knot.

The Himalayan system, which includes various outlying subranges, stretches across six countries: India, Bhutan, Tibet, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Pakistan. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganga, the Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 1.3 billion people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in both Hinduism and Buddhism.

The Himalayas are among the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consist mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, their formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This is referred to as a fold mountain.

The collision began in the Upper Cretaceous period about 70 million years ago, when the north-moving Indo-Australian Plate, moving at about 15 cm per year, collided with the Eurasian Plate. About 50 million years ago, this fast moving Indo-Australian plate had completely closed the Tethys Ocean, the existence of which has been determined by sedimentary rocks settled on the ocean floor and the volcanoes that fringed its edges. Since these sediments were light, they crumpled into mountain ranges rather than sinking to the floor.

The Indo-Australian plate continues to be driven horizontally below the Tibetan plateau, which forces the plateau to move upwards. The Arakan Yoma highlands in Myanmar and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal were also formed as a result of this collision.

The Indo-Australian plate is still moving at 67 mm per year, and over the next 10 million years it will travel about 1,500 km into Asia. About 20 mm per year of the India-Asia convergence is absorbed by thrusting along the Himalaya southern front. This leads to the Himalayas rising by about 5 mm per year, making them geologically active. The movement of the Indian plate into the Asian plate also makes this region seismically active, leading to earthquakes from time to time.

The Unique Thing in the South East Asia

The unique thing that is only found in the South East Asian countries is the Saree.

Though saree is linked to the Indian subcontinent it is found in the south-east nations too with little modifications here and there.
