Once war started, it means Taiwan is fighting for its independence.

We Indians should start a "roamtaiwan" campaign to promote tourism to that country. It will be our way of showing support and helping them get tourism money. Better than visiting Lanka which opens all its holes (I mean ports) as soon as it sees cheenese money.

India should establish a military buffer zone with China to help Tibet become independent. I don't think the Chinese People's Liberation Army is capable of winning modern wars. There was a problem with the communication between their soldiers, soldiers are extremely afraid of death. they don't trust each other. Give it same as surgery hit

Yes Joseph zang thanks for the living words

Making the "Wang" move might be disastrous and may lead to self destruction.

The magical klew which runs through Joshy Joseph, M.S.Banesh and Soman Katalur combines with multitudes of writers, poets, filmmakers, painters, visual artists, thinkers, cinephiles. This klew intersects political, cultural and social arenas of our lives. It flies across decades, jiving to the inner music of our daily lives. It tiptoes back into the river it germinated from, one begins to hear the water sing, the music spills over, our senses drift…

I hope that taiwan is successful in defending themselves for the sake of the citizens of Taiwan and as an example to the rest of the world that freedom is worth fighting for

Taiwan isn't "taking on china, " we are, just like in Ukraine

In geologically very recent times, among all living beings, Man has learned to influence, modify and change his environment through agriculture and industry, and his capability to harness energy sources and materials, and create new materials. As a species, 7.9-billion humans are the most influential and dominant form of life on Earth.

It doesn’t take too much awareness in today’s world with 24-hour news and internet access to realize that “once in a 1, 000-year storms” are now occurring on a sometimes monthly basis. The increase of droughts, the rapidly melting of glaciers and the polar ice caps and heatwaves along with massive fires across the world are now occurring more frequently and with greater intensity to fully appreciate just what a dilemma we are all now facing.

This central spine also constitutes a hybrid of historical and contemporary familial and illusionary relationships, political and social scenarios, which govern individual choices (even latently). At the moment when one starts believing in the fiction of naturalized order of self, family, nation and humanistic principles, an awakening awaits round the corner. The sharpness of Banesh’s analytics are threaded with lyricism, a hallmark of his aesthetic style which flirts with magic and logic, simultaneously.

Taiwan doesn't look prepared at all.
But China is also not ready.

But, dematerialized Devi is also an overhanging presence in the river Hooghly, she sits atop like an immersive viewer, sometimes overlooking from the Kolkata sky-line, sometimes as a binding cement for all the artistic iterations. She is the mothership, but she is also a disinterested witness.

Another artist, Mahasweta Devi, makes an appearance in the film, novel and most visibly in the drawings. Her presence is that of a muse – eliciting multiple responses from chameleon artists at work. But, she is herself a chameleon presence in these multimodal combinatorial iterations, also staging her independent performance, almost like a kenning in poetry – a reclusive presence. Katalur responds to this liminal presence of Mahasweta in his drawings, particularly for Chapters 2 and 11.

Rapid advancements in science and technology have increasingly intensified and magnified the effects of industrialization. Today, the large-scale negative effects of industrialization over many decades, are dwarfing the benefits.
