Peace agreement is under siege in Columbia

In 2016, Colombia's government reached an historic peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), ending a 52-year-old war that had killed more than 265,000 Colombians and displaced another seven million.

Miracle on the Ganges: myths and realities

When Eliot wrote the poem he undoubtedly emphasized the importance of continuous investigation into the unknown, and launching a journey for novelty. Whether India's “Make in India” initiative to transform India as a manufacturing hub will induce novel innovation is a matter of concern, but hopefully, we all expect not to get stuck into “where we started and know the place” f...
