The Promise Of Mass Murder : Nuclear Deterrence

By -

You can see my post on this link: https://youtu.be/Mdk-IFy68vE. I would recommend watching the video at 1.25,1.5 or 1.75 speed.

This video shows my views towards nuclear deterrence, and why I believe its is not the best option for world peace where the means of warfare have changed.

Protecting Self In A War With Russia

The world is now focused on what Russian President Putin’s next move can be, with tens of thousands of Russian troops changing their status from being stationed on the borders of Ukraine to having invaded Ukraine. In what is being called a ‘Military Operation’ by the Russian side, it is very evident to the people elsewhere around the world that it is a full-fledged war to claim Ukraine. Russia has been very clear in their ambitions with the states that were earlier part of the USSR, like Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia and many more. Putin has been very clear in the case of Ukraine that the nation was and is a part of the Russian state and has wavered off with influence from the west. The Ukrainian population and culture are also actually very similar to that of Russia’s. Many Russians actually believe they are the same people divided by a border. However, Ukraine has its own identity, language, flag and many more factors that make it distinct from that of Russia. A majo...

  Title:  Analyzing the Security Implications of the Russian-Ukraine Crisis Headline: The Russian- Ukraine crisis - A percussor to a new normal   Type of security- Geographical Security and Territorial Integrity.

Many people also tend to look at security in relation to the basic binary of understanding war and peace. Another way the common man understands security is by associating the term with phrases like "comfort," "stability," and "absence of fear". But as academic scholars, we also learn that there has been an evolution in how we define security through various theories and schools of thought. From Idealism to Neoliberalism, we have seen a shift. Yet, most...

See-curitization: Seeing the Kashmir Conflict through the Lens of the Individual

According to G.H. Mead, the psychology of an individual is made of the ‘me’ i.e., the socially constructed element of society and the ‘I’, i.e., the element that enacts the social role assigned to the individual. Ken Booth believes that these elements of the individual colour their interpretation of reality, and by extension, security.  As an Indian upper-caste cis-het male, my privileged upbringing largely influenced my worldview. Being the son of an officer of the Indian Air Force also adds a dimension to my perceptions of national security. The self-identity has very well been central to my view of security over the years, as proponents of the Aberystwyth School would argue. I recognize 2019 as a tipping point in this sense, where I moved to college and my immediate social environment vastly changed, and along with it came a transformation of my political conscience. Past that point, ‘I’ struggled heavily with revelations that came as I met individuals whose lived experiences ...
