The rising power of generals withing the governments if Asia is fueling the region wide arms race.

In Recent months, the wars of words between china and Japan over disputed is lands in the south china sea have rettled many Asian nations, which would prefer that their giant neighbors focus on peaceful trade। But the verbal battles have obscured another, more disturbing regional trend।Asian countries are gearing up for possibility of a real fight। According to the Stockholm international peace Research instituted, the amount spent on weapons purchases in south east Asia nearly doubled between 2005 and 2009 , the most recent figures available. The weapons-buying spree will go on these increases are expected to continue in 2010 and 2011, despite the global economic downturn. Indeed, for many western and Russian arms manufactured, Asia has become the promised land. Asia's nations are spending on weapons in part because older arms are becoming obsolete, and many countries did not replace, them during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990's and early 2000's. But there is another, far more disturbing reason for the arms race. Some of the region's historically most unstable and aggressive states are remilitarizing, handing there arms forces unprecetrise like Pakistan, china, and North Korea remilitarize, the region's democratic states dell forced to do the same. China has recently been increasing its defense budget by more than 10 percent in most years, and building a real blue-water Navy, The pace and scope of china's military modernization have increased, notes the pentagon's most recent report on the Chinese military. This buildup will increase china's option for using military force to gain diplomatic advantage or resolve disputes in its favor.

Special Committee Members meting of the today

KATHMANDU, OCT 09 - Members of the Special Committee on integration and rehabilitation on Saturday accused the Maoists of holding the Special Committee Secretariat (SCS) to “ransom” by their deliberate absence from the mechanism.

The Maoists are adamant that Nanda Kishore Pun, Chief of the People’s Liberation Army, be named coordinator of the 12-member body. The six-party Special Committee, responsible for supervision, integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants, had expected SCS to become operational Sunday. Deepak Prasad Bhatta, SCS member of the CPN-UML, said, “Nothing has moved as the Maoists are yet to participate,” he added.

Maoist representative Chandra Prakash Khanal said the SCS was “defunct” as the Special Committee is yet to appoint a coordinator. The Nepali Congress and CPN-UML are insisting retired Nepal Army General Balananda Sharma should head the mechanism. Khanal, however, said the issue was non-negotiable.

After the Special Committee decided to activate the SCS on Oct. 2, the SCS office was set up within the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction. Since then, Maoist members Khanal and Kul Prasad KC have visited only once. The absence of the Maoists has hit the recruitment of personnel to be deployed by the government in 28 Maoist cantonments and a 24-hour operation centre proposed to monitor the cantonments, said a non-Maoist member.

क्या रमाइलो मकरमेला पनौतीको

धेरै पत्र पत्रिका मा पनौतीको बारेमा पढे मलाई लाग्यो के रहेछ त पनौती एक पल्ट जानु पर्छ जस्तो लाग्यो । माघ १६ गते निष्किए काठमाडौंबाट बिहान काठमाडौको वादल भित्रको ढुसीलाई छिचोल्दै म र मेरो एकजना साथी निष्कियौ । भक्तपुर हुदै बनेपा सम्म पुग्दा केही घामको मनिलो आवास हुन थाल्यो । बनेपाबाट पनौती सम्म करिव ६ किलो मिटर यात्रा हिडे पछि बल्ल हाम्रो गन्तव्य स्थान पनौती पूगियो । चिसोले कठरिएको बेलामा भिडलाई छिचोल्दै हामी पनौतीको इन्द्रेश्वर महादेवको मन्दीर तिर लाग्र्यौ । त्यँहाको रहेको अव्यवस्थित सवारी साधन को भिडलाई छिचोल्न कति त गार् यो भएन । बुढी आमा सगं केही फुलपाती किनेर म पनि खोला तिर लागे जाडोले काठ्ठिएर चीसो भएका मेरा हातले फुल पाती त लिन मानेका थिएन्न कहा म नुहाउन सक्थे र तर मुख सम्म धोए । फुलपातीको थान्केा त लागाउनै पर् यो अनि लागे इन्देश्वर महादेवको मन्दिर तिर । मान्छे कति धेरै त्यो भिड छिचोल्नै मलाई सारै गार् यो पर् यो । मन्दिरको दर्शन गरेर म माथि डाडा तिर लागे गोखनाथको मन्दिर तिर त्यहा सीताको पाइला रे त्यहा पनि जानै पर् यो उकालो चड्न थाले । उकालो बाटो धुलो उडेर मेरो कालो जकेट त खैरो भएको थियो । ओहो मलाई त कस्तो धौ धौ पर् यो । माथि त केही व्यवस्थित रहेछ । स्वयम सेवक धेरै नै रहेछन् । लाइनमा बसेर केही बेरमै मन्दिरको दर्शन गरियो । दर्शन गरि सकेर छेउमा बसेर केही बेर तल हेर्न थाले । मान्छे त कति कति भिड छिचोल्नै मलाई सारै गार् यो भयो । मलाई थाहा थियो मेरो आमाले मलाई सानोमा भन्नु हुन्थ्यो कान चिरेको योगीलाई दान दिए गरहा काटिन्छ रे । मैले पनौती को सीता पाइला मन्दिरमा कान चिरेको योगीला भेट्टाए । मलाई लाग्यो कतै मेरो सारा दुखा नास हुन्छ कि भन्ने लाग्यो र आटी हाले योगीलाई टीका लागाई दान पनि दिए अनि त मन पनि ढुक्क भए जस्तो लाग्यो आफैलाई । ओहो माथि गोरख नाथको मन्दिर मा दर्शन गरे पछि त तल हेर्न कति रमाइलो रहेछ । कोही जोडी आएका छन् कोही छोरा छोरी च्यापेर आएका छन् कोही बुढा बुढीको लाइन नै देखिन्छन । आखाले नभेटिन्जेल सम्म मान्छेको लाइन कति कति । गाडी रिर्जभै गरेर पनौती जानेको त गनि साध्यै छैन । के बुढा बुढी के यूवा सबैको उतिकै सहभागीता रहेको यो मेला सारै रमाइलो लाग्यो । एतिहासिक मान्यता अनुसार त्रिबेणी घाटमा यो मकर मेलामा नुहाइ इन्देश्वर महादेवको दर्शन गरियो भने रोग व्याधि निको हुने र दुख कष्ट पनि हट्ने एतिहासिक भनाइ छ । सायद केही भएरै त होला मान्छेको तेति सारो घुइचो लागेको । यस्तो मेला विश्वमा दुइ ठाँउमा मात्र लाग्ने भएर पनि यसको महत्व रहेको होला । भारत र नेपालको पनौतीमा लाग्ने यो मेला १२ वर्षमा एक पल्ट लाग्ने हुदाँ सके सम्म हेर्न नछुटाउनु होला । कतै तपाइ यस पाला छुट्नु भयो भने अर्को १२ वर्ष पछाडी के हुने हो कसलाइ के थाहा होइन र ।
