Al Quida Declares opening of Indian Wing
The Al-Qaida which seems to be running out of work and recruits thanks to the excellent terrorising of the ISIS has now declared an Indian "branch" in competition the various militant groups already existing along the border and in the country. The Al Qaida declared this is a 50 odd minute long speech in which they renewed their allegiance to Mullah Omar whose protection along the afghan-pak border they have always enjoyed. This though alarming from an indian perspective is more delayed than what the indian establishment and indian agencies were expecting. The Indian intelligence has been expecting the Al-qaida to make a move from when India started supporting the Afghan government especially considering Hamid Karzai's request for arms the last time he came to the country. Also the fact that the organisations have a large pool of people already radicalized along the indo-pak border in the pakistani side and the cutoff from their traditional recruiting zones of syria and iraq has now forced the al qaida to form what this blogger terms as a "look east" policy of the taliban.
When asked for a comment a few off the Indian Army officials said that the list of people they were killing from terrorist organisations was long. They said they the infiltrators from across the border were providing good target practice for their troops. They further added that they were happy that a new organisation had come up to provide real time targets and that the army would now try to rotate more battalions through the border so that each battalion would have at least a hundred sharp shooters by the time they left.

CHINA PLANS RAILWAY TO INDIAN, NEPALI AND BHUTANESE BORDERS
The chinese who have so far constructed a railways through the himalaya's to the tibetan capital of lhasa are now looking forward to extending the line from lhasa to a point close to the Indian state of Sikkim and from there on to a point close to the border of Arunachal Pradesh This move of the chinese will bring them both close to the border with Nepal, Bhutan and India. While Nepal has been predominantly dependent on India for most of its necessities with the chinese high speed railway just appearing across the border the geopolitical situation might just change. This is a cause of worry for the Indian establishment, since it may lose its foothold in Nepal if such a situation arises.
