A Major Shift in Pakistan's Policy Backing For The Afghan Taliban

In a major change, Pakistan's policy backing for the Afghan Taliban government is turned down. Pakistan was the first country to recognize the Taliban and extend its support at internal as well as international levels.

According to media reports, Pakistan has decided not to support or extend any assistance to Kabul after it failed to neutralize the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan [TTP] terror group.


Deteriorating Afghan-Pak Relations:

The Express Tribune newspaper reported on Thursday that Islamabad will no longer extend any "special privileges" to the Afghan Taliban government. This shows that the relations between both countries are deteriorating and a major shift in Pakistan's policy backing for the Afghan Taliban.

Pakistan has been accusing the Afghan Taliban of backing the TTP because the Pakistan Taliban has ideological linkages with them. It was established in 2007 under an umbrella group of several militant outfits.

The main objective of TTP is to impose the strict brand of Islam across Pakistan. Pakistan had hoped that the Afghan Taliban would not have allowed TTP to operate from their soil. Taliban has refused every time and called Pakistan to maintain its home and don't blame Afghan. This phenomenon apparently leads to straining ties. 

Official sources told the newspaper on Wednesday that Pakistan's goodwill gestures and assistance to the Afghan Taliban were taken for granted after it returned to power in August 2021. Now Pakistan sees that the chances of the Afghan Taliban government getting international recognition have become far slimmer. 


The stance of Pakistan Towards Afghan Taliban in The Past:

However, Pakistan has faced criticism from inside and outside the country for backing the Afghan Taliban as the new ruler in Kabul. But Pakistan defended its approach and insisted the Afghan Taliban is the reality and urged the international community and stakeholders, especially Western countries, to engage.

Now Pakistan is accusing the Afghan Taliban government of harboring "our enemies." So it decided not to provide any privileges to the Taliban. A high-level delegation from Pakistan, including the defense minister and the inter-service intelligence [ISI] director general, visited Kabul in February.

The Afghan Taliban government again insisted on Wednesday that the country's soil was not being used by militants to attack other countries, and said that Pakistan's security problems were internal matter.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid responded to claims of the caretaker prime minister of Pakistan, "We would like to say that the way the Islamic Emirate wants peace and stability in Afghanistan, it wants peace in Pakistan as well."

He further added that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is not responsible for maintaining peace in Pakistan. They should solve their domestic problems on their own and not blame Afghanistan for their inefficiencies.

It seems that Pakistan has fed up with the double-speak of Kabul and made a strategic decision in Pakistan's policy backing for the Afghan Taliban. According to the analysts, Pakistan usually follows the same path when India accuses them of terror activities. Now it is forced to eat the fruits that they have seeded in the past.

The celebrations took place for the first time in 75 years after the partition of India in 1947. The tribal militants in 1947 destroyed the temple and gurdwara. Devotees participated in the event in large gatherings. Locals also embraced the celebration.


Temple and Gurdwara Reopen at Same Venue after 1947:


Many devotees from all over the country participated in the historic puja celebrations at Shrada Peeth Temple and Gurudwara. Swami Govindananda Saraswati of Hampi reached here with his followers on a rath yatra from Kishkinda, the birthplace of Lord Hanuman in Karnataka.

Some Kashmiri pandit pilgrims were also present here, notable amongst them being A K Raina, a renowned theatre personality who has acted in Kashmir Files movie.

Head of Save Sharda Committee Kashmir, Ravinder Pandita said,

"It was yet again a historical moment to perform Navratri puja at Sharda temple LoC first time after partition. The temple and Gurudwara that used to exist here were burnt down in tribal raids in 1947 and a new temple and gurudwara has come up on the same piece of land on the same pattern, that was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 23 March, this year.”


Home Minister Amit Shah also tweeted and said it is a matter of profound spiritual significance that the Shardiya Navaratri Puja resound in the shrine.

Israel-Hamas Conflict Turned Into War

 An unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel under the 'Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge' shocked the world like Israelis themselves. The current of Israel-Hamas conflict could cause many concerns regarding the outcome of this newest conflict between Plastenine and Israel. 


Hamas Attack on Israel

An Act of Barbarism to Jews by Hamas Militants:


Hamas militants fired 2000 thousand rockets and intruded into Israel on 7 October from air, water, and land routes. Israelis were enjoying and celebrating their Yom Kippur War  and Holy Day, like the 'Music Festival.' They entered from 4-5 areas near the Gaza Strip.


Israelis were massacred by the Hamas militants including infants, babies, women, men, old, and military personnel.  Hamas militants killed around 1100 Israelis and hostages more than 150 people including women, children, and soldiers as per reports. 


It is not an operation but a War between Israel-Hamas:


It is a big intelligence failure. World-renowned intelligence agencies like Mossad, CIA, and MI failed to capture the catastrophe of the Hamas militia/environment.

But the reaction from the Israel side would be to be more devastating. 

As the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said, " We have not started it...we are at war... we will win it." They named it 'Swords of Iron.'


The history behind the Palestine-Israel Conflict:


Israel carved out of Filistine in 1948 after the 2nd world War had been over. Jews were massacred by Nazis and all over the world. So, the Jewish community wanted to return to their motherland, which was rooted back to 1200-1500 BC.

Historically, Israel was a country and region there in the past. The Jewish community has its cultural and spiritual relations, with the land like Al-Aqusa Mosque as their holy temple.


The conflict between the two nations emerged time and again. However, both countries/sides are members of the United Nations but failed to find a solution, which is a grave concern for the world peace agenda and humanity.

According to a report by the Economic Times, the upcoming mission serves as a technological demonstrator and emulates Agnikul's planned orbital launch. According to the startup sources, the first commercial launch is anticipated in 2024- but on a smaller scale. 


India Signed an MoU on Semiconductors With the European Commission

Agnikul Cosmos's Historic Move-in Satellite Launch Sector:


According to Agnikul's Chief Executive Srinath Ravichandran, "

We are looking to launch by the end of the year. One test is pending, which will be conducted on our campus at IIT-Madras. Once the final reviews with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) are complete, we are good to go as the launch vehicle is already at the launch pad"

Mr. Ravichandran added that this is not a sounding rocket but is a complex machine, so we want to get it right in the first attempt.

Space tech analysts say that if the Angikul Cosmos mission proves successful, the startup will become India's second private company to develop a small satellite launch vehicle. The first is the Skyroot Aerospace which launched its Vikram S in November 2022. Agnikul Cosmos is incubated at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras campus.

Advantages of Agnikul Cosmos Startup:


Mr. Ravichandran highlighted a key-distinction between Agnikul's rocket, Agnibaan, and the Vikram S. The Vikram S is a sounding rocket launched from guide rails while Agnibaan would lift off vertically, following a predetermined trajectory and executing precisely orchestrated manoeuvers during flight.

He highlighted Agnibaan's specification that it is SubOrbital Technological Demonstrator [SOrTeD] and is a highly customizable, single-stage launch vehicle. It can carry up to 300kg payload to orbits around 700km above the ground.

It will basically serve satellites in the low Earth Orbit. Anirban would follow a plug-and-play configuration, adapting to the size of the satellite taken to space.

One of the biggest advantages of the Agnikul Cosmos is the propellant system and the resizing of their launch vehicle. The Agnikul Startup provides customizable sizes of launch vehicles that can be configured for a particular payload size or satellite size. In Agnikul's rocket, liquid propellants are reusable and safer compared to solid propellants.

Agnikul's patented Agnilet engine stands as the world's first single-piece 3D-printed engine that is designed and manufactured entirely in the country under Made in India. It was successfully test-fired in 2021, considered an achievement and a milestone for 3D printing technology in India, which was earlier reserved for medical implants.

Neuralink sets a historic record for advancing biological science and technology on 19 Feb 2024. The first human patient implanted with a Neuralink brian-chip has recovered and is moving a 'mouse around the computer screen just by thinking.'

Neuralink startup founder and visionary biotech giant, Elon Musk confirms the news and says the first human implanted with a brain chip appears to have fully recovered and can control a computer mouse using their thoughts. 


Elon Musk Got Node for Human Brain Implant Trials


Neuralink Get Node For Implanting The Telepathy Brain-Chip:


Neuralink successfully implanted the Telepathy chip in the patient last month after approval. All concerned US authorities and administration granted permission for human trial recruitment in September 2023, last year.

Musk writes on X [Twitter],

"As we are aware, progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery from the neural effects. The patient can move a mouse by just thinking around the screen."

Elon elaborated that Neuralink is now trying to get as many mouse button clicks as possible from the implanted chip human.

In a surgical move, Neuralink uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer chip implant in a specific region of the brain that controls the intention to move. The system consists of a computer chip attached to tiny flexible threads stitched into the brain by a 'sewing machine' like a robot.

The robot removes a small chunk of the skull and connects the thread-like electrodes to specific areas of the human brain. It stitches up the hole, and the only visible remains is a scar left behind.

Musk said that the incision procedure takes just 30 minutes. It does not even require general anesthesia. The patient will be able to return home on the same day. However, it is still unclear whether all the promises apply to the first patient to receive the implant. Musk says he or she is recovering well.

Purpose of Implanting Neuralink Brain Chip:


According to Elon Musk, the company's initial goal is to let people control a computer cursor or keyboard by their thoughts and communicate wirelessly. It works like communicating wirelessly with the world, replacing a piece of the skull with a smartwatch.

The Telepathy chip would enable us to share our thoughts, fears, hopes, and anxieties without demeaning ourselves. It would work with written or language-spoken claims of the startup.

Neural Ink's Prime Study Telepathy and Controversy:


The Implantation of brain chip 'Telepathy' in a human is part of Neuralink's Prime study. It is a trial to evaluate the safety of the implant and the surgical robot that does the procedure.

Elon Musk has grand ambitions for Neuralink. He says it would facilitate speedy surgical insertions of its chip devices to treat conditions like obesity, autism, depression, and schizophrenia. 

It has faced repeated calls for security regarding its safety protocols and animal testing. The biotech startup has spent the past few years testing the implant on animals, which has provided mixed results.

Elon Musk, in the year 2020 presentation, unveiled the Neuralink chip to the public for the 'very first' time. It demonstrated the chip functions on a pig named Gertrude. Gertrude's brain signals were visualized on the screen in real-time. She snuffled around her pen that was being picked up by her implant.

Another pig involved in the Neuralink chip demonstration had once had an implant but then had it removed and was living a healthy life. The following year, Elon did another demonstration with a macaque monkey. Macaque was playing a computer game by thinking alone.

However, Neuralink confirmed in February 2022 that monkeys had died during its tests. However, they denied any animal abuse in front after a complaint by a non-profit organization Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine [PCRM] to the US Department of Agriculture.

Elon Musk's an Influencer and Global Empire:


Today, Elon Musk stands among the top list of billionaires. He is the mastermind or bestmind behind some of the most ingenious technology projects of the modern era. The billionaire entrepreneur is the boss of carmaker Tesla, private space firm SpaceX, and brain chip-computer interface startup Neuralink. 

Musk, who routinely tops the list as the world's richest person, became more famous than ever when he bought Twitter in 2022. He has invested his $192 billion fortune in. Neuralink was valued at about $5 billion last year. Whether you hate or like him, you cannot avoid him.

According to The Times of India report, Indian astronauts will be on the International Space Station by the end of next year. This would be the first time in four decades that an Indian would travel to space after Rakesh Sharma's 1984 travel aboard the Soviet-era Soyuz T-11 spacecraft.


Mark Mobius Said India Will Get More Money Normally Than China


Bill Nelson's Visit Will Strengthen India-US Space Cooperation:


According to media reports, Bill Nelson says, India is a great partner for the US and also a great future partner for the activities in space. He said the US will launch several private landers on the south pole of the Moon in the coming year. But India was the first to reach there, so congratulations to them.

Mr. Nelson will visit many cities in India to strengthen India-US cooperation on space in many sections. He met Union Space Minister Jitendra Singh and congratulated him on the successful landing of the lunar rover Chandrayaan-3.


 NASA and ISRO Co-operation on Multiple Projects:


The former US Senator from Florida said that NASA is ready to collaborate with India if India desires to build its own space station. Bill Nelson said,

"I think India..... to have a commercial space station by 2040. If India wants to collaborate with us............ we will be available. That is up to India."

When asked about the Indian astronaut space mission, he said, the selection of the astronaut will be done by the ISRO and NASA won't be a part of it. Details of the mission are being worked out by ISRO authorities.

He added that NASA is ready to collaborate with ISRO and plan an interplanetary mission with India but it all depends on ISRO. He says NASA and ISRO will jointly launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar [NISAR] in the first quarter of next year.

The NISAR satellite would cost $1 billion, one of the world's costliest satellites. It will observe the surface of the Earth and its climate. The NISAR will especially measure any changes in Earth's surface, land, water, or any movement in ice mass.

The satellite will give a three-dimensional model, conveying important information about the future of planet Earth. He says NASA is also identifying opportunities in private astronaut missions for Indian astronauts and has meetings with leaders in Mumbai.

Nelson recalled when he saw India for the first time from space. Mr. Nelson flew to space on the Columbia spacecraft shuttle almost four decades ago. He is mesmerized when sharing those memories. 

"The first time I saw India was from space, ......................... in January 1986. I saw Sri Lanka first...... as I moved my eyes upward, I could see the entire India. Then I saw the Himalayas ....... top of the country that looked like heaven."
