What role do world peace and security play in India today?

Common Wealth Games 2010 are scheduled in India between 3 October 2010 to 14 October 2010. Plans for organizing these games successfully were initiated more then 3 years ago. Now only 44 days are left still important deadlines are being missed and new revelations (corruption charges) continue to cast a shadow every now and then.

Suresh Kalmadi Chairman of the Organising Committee is also under scanner (who is also President of Indian Olympic Association).

Those who know India well, can understand that these things are not uncommon in India and games will take place as per the schedule and in graceful manner. Right now it is not good to discuss negative things as they can severely damage Indian reputation for such organizations in future.

Corruption in games and things that have come to light must be investigated thoroughly once these games are over. People who are associated with these games are also associated with other games and events that have taken place and will take place in India in future, if these charges contain some real facts then corrective measures must be adopted and those who are associated must be severely punished and made responsible for any financial losses to the country.

What are the problems faced by water- transport in India?

1. Employee shortage: There is clearly a shortage of trained and skilled manpower in the aviation sector as a consequence of which there is cut-throat competition for employees which, in turn, is driving wages to unsustainable levels. Moreover, the industry is unable to retain talented employees.

2. Regional connectivity: One of the biggest challenges facing the aviation sector in India is to be able to provide regional connectivity. What is hampering the growth of regional connectivity is the lack of airports.

3.Rising fuel prices: As fuel prices have climbed, the inverse

relationship between fuel prices and airline stock prices has been demonstrated. Moreover, the rising fuel prices have led to increase in the air fares.

4.Declining yields: LCCs and other entrants together now command a market share of around 46%. Legacy carriers are being forced to match LCC fares, during a time of escalating costs. Increasing growth prospects have attracted & are likely to attract more players, which will lead to more competition. All this has resulted in lower returns for all operators.

5. Gaps in infrastructure: Airport and air traffic control (ATC) infrastructure is inadequate to support growth. While a start has been made to upgrade the infrastructure, the results will be visible only after 2 - 3 years.

6. Trunk routes: It is also a matter of concern that the trunk routes, at present, are not fully exploited. One of the reasons for inability to realize the full potential of the trunk routes is the lack of genuine competition. The entry of new players would ensure that air fares are brought to realistic levels, as it will lead to better cost and revenue management, increased productivity and better services. This in turn would stimulate demand and lead to growth.

7. High input costs: Apart from the above-mentioned factors, the input costs are also high. Some of the reasons for high input costs are:-

Withholding tax on interest repayments on foreign currency loans for aircraft acquisition. Increasing manpower costs due to shortage of technical personnel.

What weapons did the Bannock Indians use?

Before contact with European explorers the Ojibwa/Chippewa/Ojibwe bands used bows and arrows as their main weapon, with clubs of various types as secondary weapons. Guns were supplied by white traders from an early date, leading to the bow being used far less than in earlier times.

Ojibwe bows were made of ash, hickory or birch and ranged from about 43 to 67 inches in length, often entirely stained a dull red. Arrows were of split hardwood or second-growth shoots, with early points of bone or wood, later metal points from traders. Fletchings were from golden eagles or turkeys (a very unusual arrow survives with 5 flicker feathers) and arrows were from 24 to 35 inches long, usually with very shallow nocks for the string.

War clubs varied in shape and size; some were huge ball-headed clubs carved from hardwood, often with bone (later metal) spikes added; the gunstock-style club might have a trade knife blade fitted.
