The unseen causes of Novel Coronavirus

Away from the seemingly causes that led to the pandemic called Novel Coronavirus aka CoViD-19 it cannot be denied that it can well be attributed to the bitter spat between USA and China over trade.
The CoViD-19 could well be a creation out of vengeance after what we have witnessed in terms of sanctions on imports by both nations.

The arrest of Dr. Charles Lieber - the Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University for making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the US Defense Department about China's Thousand Talents Plan (a Chinese government program to recruit foreign scientists and researchers) and his affiliation with Wuhan University of Technology, by CIA makes it amply clear about the intent of China.

The question that arises now is, Was the CoViD-19 a bio attack?

But who is going to benefit from the trade stand-off between USA and China? Experts reckons that other nations are only going to benefit and we have already seen how India is coming closer to the USA.

The Indo-US relationship has filliped in recent times under the leadership of Modi and Trump.

Nowhere in the history of India, so far, can anyone find a direct to & fro visit by a sitting US President, right from its soil to the soil of the former and back, without any stopover visit to other regional neighbors as seen in the past.

The growing Indo-US relationship, pre and post "Howdy Modi" and "Namaste Trump", is viewed as a threat to the Chinese - which is known for taking stands that earned it the alleged brand of "traditional traitors".

The US accuses China for not doing enough in the initial months to control the communicable infective virus that was first noticed in its territory of Wuhan, allegedly in a government run laboratory close to Wuhan fish market, thereafter killing thousands and endangered millions of lives world over.

There are speculations in the US media that there is a possibility that the CoViD-19 disaster outbreak could be the accidental result of biological weapons research.

China is also accused of hiding the outbreak from the world and when it went out of control, it just spill over like hot milk.

Could it be out of vengeance that the bacillus was fuelled to spread worldwide to slow down global trade.

Well looking at the current scenario, world trade is at its fractional low.

China, although, was accused of hiding the initial outbreak but in reality it was in total control of it and one can even bet that it has the vaccine too, to cure it.

We don't know for sure how long the germ shall last or it's total lifespan but we can say from past experiences that China will come out sooner than later, suddenly declaring that it has discovered the cure for it.

The US is lashing out at China for all the economic losses it has incurred since the eruption of the virus and said that it will make the Chinese pay the compensation.

Will China be ultimately isolated, globally or whether India emerge over all.

We have to wait and watch.

The entry of outsiders, particularly from across the international border into Meghalaya, and the rest of this region, cannot be curtailed with the aid of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation or Inner Line Permit (ILP) – which is the demand of certain NGOs here. In fact we have to ascertain the ground realities and tune the demand accordingly. A poor Bangladesh will continue to push its people into India and look for livelihood avenues.

Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi’s two-day visit to the Himalayan state of Nepal, the first by an Indian PM in 17 years, has opened up a new chapter between these two Hindu nations on planet earth. Modi was conferred 19-gun salute as he became the first Head of State to address the Nepalese Parliament. A good orator and researcher who prepares himself well before addressing any gathering, there is perhaps nothing left which he hasn’t touched in his all inspiring speech that was well appreciated by the full parliament. He started in Nepali while continuing in Hindi. He said that the relationship between India and Nepal is as old as the Ganges while depicting the religious tradition of...
The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council's eviction of illegal traders in Shillong has earned both accolades and criticism from the public. Those who are showering praise are doing so merely out of joy as the non-tribals are targeted whereas criticism are also flowing from the same tribesmen – whose shops are let off to non-tribals – who are affected by the closure. The tribal owner is largely affected in the same way as the rented shopkeepers. So, in a way the condemnation that are flowing from so called NGOs are in reality against the tribal owners for having letting off their shops to the ‘outsiders’. But those who are praising the district council move have they ever tried to go into...

Nothing works in Meghalaya more than owning a land. And in this land, which is traditionally owned by the tribals – they can do whatever they like. And the way things are moving here the day is not far when such lands may well be used even for nuclear tests, as somebody opined lightly. This is indeed the sordid tale of the controversial land ownership system in Meghalaya where if you have coal, diamond, gold and the rest of it then the owner is not the government but the owner of the particular land where these natural resources are hidden. This is how the luckier lots in the state are making mind boggling sum of money by extracting and exporting coals but what they have forgotten in the...

There has always been an inclination among the commoners to know how much the political bosses who govern them earn. And in doing so, much of the real earning that these bosses take home gets lost in unnecessary gossip for want of accurate details. But that may be a thing of the past because Paycheck India, a research initiative at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, has come up with a list of salaries of influential political leaders around the world. Paycheck India, which is connected to the international WageIndicator Network, informs about jobs, salaries and labour laws.  Currently, this Paycheck listing is uploaded in its website and is also in circulation in a major news-...
If Assam’s Bodoland is the most lawless region in the country today, according to former Meghalaya Governor, Ranjit Shekhar Mooshahary, then Meghalaya’s Garo Hills is no better either. The recent killing of a woman by the GNLA (Garo National Liberation Army) militants in Garo Hills region of Meghalaya for not giving into their lust has shocked the nation. That Uttar Pradesh will be repeated in Meghalaya in this horrific manner was inconceivable to many here because this incident is an irony to the liberation war that the GNLA is fighting for. Absolute lawlessness, as Meghalaya bleeds over the death of this woman that deserves bitterest condemnation as no words are enough to denounce such...
These two dates - May 26 and 27, 2014 will go down in history as “good days are coming” coined by our new Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi. The success story of this tea-seller-RSS-pracharak-politician-chief-minister-prime-minister without any political godfather and dynasty to back him will now be taught in management and other academic institutions and rightly so. Modi’s communication strategy to reach the masses of the country using technology as a tool is perhaps not used to its optimum level by any of his ilk. Even Harvard graduate P Chidambaram and other Congressmen who made a mockery of Modi during the elections could not guide their own party in terms of communication...
The “Friends of the Hill People” – Assam Rifles (AR) – tagline turns out to be most ‘unfriendly’ when it comes to treating its own employees and jawans. As it is said charity begins at home, perhaps, there is much more to be desired from AR. It has come to light that due to absence of judicious and vibrant surveillance of the higher stature of administration, the AR is presently in a degradation mode due to imposition of many detrimental steps on its employees, resulted in spiral increase of discontentment among a large number of employees of different cadres – combative or civilian – most are related to pay-scale matters. This, ‘crisis of governance’ in AR inculcated debacle in the career...
