On paper, the countries have had a strategic partnership since 2005—but there are no areas of convergence in the foreseeable futureSubscribe to our newsletter.LivemintIllustration: Jayachandran/MintIn assessing the restructured strategic dialogue between India and China, which concluded on Wednesday, the key question is: What does a strategic relationship between the two countries look like? What are its driving factors and core objectives? On paper, India and China have had a strategic partnership—specifically, a strategic and cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity—since 2005. But scratch the surface of that agreement’s rhetoric and diplomatic language and this much becomes apparent: There are, as of now, no true areas of strategic convergence.The bilateral focus has largely been on the settlement of the boundary question, followed by the strengthening of economic and…

TurbatAlmost 80 per cent of the population of Balochistan is scattered in rural areas. These areas are badly suffering from advance of the modern age and ignored by the authorities. The educational institutions are under-funded and women and girls are deprived of the basic education. It is shocking to mention that the literacy rate of female in rural areas of Balochistan is less than 2 percent.The women are locked within the four walls and have been given the responsibility of cooking food, cleaning the house, child bearing and rearing and all other domestic support required by the husband and other family members. Everyone knows female education plays a vital role for the development of any nation. Today we are moving toward backwardness because we are not giving any value to the female education, and this is also the main reason of the backwardness of Balochistan as compared to other pro…
