China Taiwan conflict: Know how it hot reignited and its after-effects

Amid the ongoing tension between Taiwan and China, US’s House speaker Nancy Peloci’s speech during her visit to Taipei had added a fuel in breaching the peace among the two nations including US yet again. 

China being constantly addressing Taiwan as its part is now furious on Nancy’s statement for US’s support to Taiwan as an independent, democratic nation. 

This led to a recent decision taken by the Chinese Foreign ministry in suspension of general meetings between the US and China defence leaders, corporation on setting back the illegal immigrants, transnational crimes, illegal drugs and even climate change as it titled Nancy’s statement “vicious and provoking action”. 

Missile rocket firing have been projected around Tiawan by China troops as Beijing performed its military drill near Taiwan. This has clarified China ‘s disagreement on the latter country’s sovereignty.  This air and seal drill conducted recently has interrupted one of the busiest trade routes and it is said to be continued till Saturday. 

While the Japan Prime minister Fumio Kishida has requested to stop the military drill as few of the missile were reported to be landed in ocean in Japan’s economic zone. Beijing also announced a sanction against Peloci and her family for her Taipei visit. Such pressure tactics from China can be considered as a way of subjugating US support to Taiwan

Har Ghar Tiranga: Know about this campaign, its anthem and lyrics…

0

Har Ghar Tiranga is a campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and to hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence.

Our relationship with the flag has always been more formal and institutional than personal.

Bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence thus becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.

Jeremy was born in 2002 in Aizwal, Mizoram. Sports was in his genes as his father was a boxer. Jeremy has always been obsessed with shiny things and as a child, growing up in Aizawl, he had a couple of ‘ shiny  toys’. Which were the medals of his father, Lalneihtluanga. His father won two golds at the sub-junior national level.

 “They were mounted on the wall of our house. But my brothers and I would play with them all the time. We would pretend we were champions. We even lost one of his medals while playing,” Jeremy said.
He has a poor background and hence his family condition kept him away from pursuing his aspirations. He started working with the neighbourhood Power Works Department as a laborer.

He started boxing  before lifting weights. According to some reports, he learned to lift weights by lifting heavy bamboos. He then made history by becoming the first Indian to win a gold medal at the Youth Olympics in the men’s 62kg division in 2018. Before participating in an international competition, he was a member of the Army’s Boys Sports Company and there he earned multiple medals.  

Jeremy Lalrinnunga Achievements
