7 Jalalabad gauntlet Islamic State s growing presence in eastern Afghanistan can undo Kabul s peace moves Suicide attack in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, which left at least 19 people dead, mostly from the minority Sikh and Hindu communities, is yet another warning from the Islamic State to the wartorn country s dilapidated political and security apparatus. Victims were travelling in a bus to meet President Ashraf Ghani when the bomber struck Over the past few months, the Afghan government has been trying to reach out to the Taliban to begin a peace process. Mr. Ghani first offered the militants pardon in return for giving up weapons- group rejected U.S. and Afghan military operations - Militants beheaded three workers and set fire to the school building.

8 Continue When the government and the Taliban were fighting each other, the IS built a network in Nangarhar and started targeting minorities. The IS set up its Afghan affiliate as a South Asian outpost when its so called caliphate in Iraq and Syria came under strain. Afghanistan is relatively easier terrain for the IS to recruit fighters Most of its previous attacks were aimed at the Shia minority- Now, by attacking Sikhs and Hindus, the IS has re emphasised its worldview and renewed its threat to any attempt to make peace in Afghanistan Past two years, both Afghan and U.S. forces have targeted operations against the IS. Last year the U.S. even used the Mother of All Bombs the most powerful conventional bomb in its arsenal against the IS in Nangarhar

9 Continue But despite these claims the IS remains lethal and capable of striking citizens, as the latest attack suggests-afghan government, overstretched in endless civil war, faces 2 fronts now. Government s strategy is to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. Meanwhile, if the IS is allowed to grow, Afghanistan s descent into total chaos will only be a matter of time

12 The bilateral limits of hype Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump have both built their politics on the promise of making their countries great again. Placing India and the U.S., respectively, as leaders on the world stage is the stated objective of their foreign policy Theatre as strategy Postponement of the India U.S. 2+2 dialogue between the Foreign and Defence Ministers of both countries. A summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. His every move on the global stage enrages(न र जग फ ल) his domestic political opponents This keeps his political base constantly on the boil.

13 Continue North Korea, Syria, Afghanis tan, trade deficit, and all global challenges before America are faults of his predecessors, he repeatedly tells supporters. Most recently, at the G7 summit in Canada in June, he declared: I blame our past leaders for allowing this to happen (trade deficits) Such rhetoric may sound familiar to Indians India neither promises him the opportunity of a spectacle(तम श ) nor offers the grounds for destructing(व न श) the legacy of a predecessor. So he told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to deal with North Korea and Russia, and 2+2 with India could wait Impact on ties

14 Continue But Mr. Trump cannot undo all the legacy with a magic tweet. U.S. relations with Pakistan and China took shape during the Cold War- Rhetoric( क रपट त ) against China and Pakistan Pakistan might be the longest ally of the U.S. after the U.K., first in fight against communism, and then in the fight against terror that was created in the first fight. China used the Cold War to its own advantage in its ties with the U.S China today threatens the dominance of the U.S., but the America s security establishment an d political elite are obsessed with Russia India gets caught in that internal American fight too- American law that now requires the President to impose sanctions on any country that has significant security relations with Russia.

15 Continue India and China are in the same basket for Mr. Trump on many issues- violators of intellectual property laws, as countries that put barriers to trade and subsidise exports and use state power to control markets. But there are two constituencies in the U.S. that promote India against China America s Af Pak policy Series of significant defence purchases & agreements could be concluded in coming months. But India U.S. relations will be better off without hype and grand theories(प रच र और भव य व द त )

18 Continue With the Cauvery Authority in place, it is time for the basin States to end all litigation 1 st meeting of the Cauvery Water Management Authority took place in a cordial atmosphere CWMA has been formed by the Centre to implement the water sharing award of the Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal as modified by the Supreme Court earlier this year. For the Authority to successfully perform its role, it needs the cooperation of the States in gathering data on rainfall, inflows and outflows, cropping patterns and periodic withdrawals from reservoirs. The CWMA is expected to meet once every 10 days during the monsoon months. South west monsoon has been active for nearly a month & is forecast to be normal this year.

19 Continue Therefore, the CWMA may not face any major problem in overseeing the release of water to Tamil Nadu- As long as the inflows into Karnataka s major reservoirs are substantial, it has had no problem releasing its surplus water into the lower riparian areas of the basin. It is only in a distress year that the CWMA will face a significant challenge, as determining the extent of distress, and dividing the shortfall among the States Karnataka is planning to challenge in the Supreme Court the Centre s notification constituting the Authority. It will be unfortunate if this dispute - another round of litigation The provisions of the Inter State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, make it clear that it is the Centre s duty to notify a scheme to implement the award of a Tribunal. Parliament has the power to modify the scheme, or leave it as it stands, but Karnataka s claim that scheme requires parliamentary approval before it is implemented is questionable.

20 Continue Now that CWMA has become functional, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry should approach issue of sharing the waters of the inter State river in a spirit of cooperation and help the Authority in implementing the verdict After having been locked in a contentious legal dispute for so long, all parties concerned must embark on a new era of mutually beneficial water sharing.
