Indian Prime Minister Attal Behari Vajpayee's decision to attend the conference of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in Islamabad suddenly increased prospects of goodwill in the region, particularly between archivals India and Pakistan. The two leaders of the countries, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Vajpayee, referred to the effort to be made to resolve all differences between their countries, including the Kashmir dispute.
Among the seven nations of South Asia forming the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, India stands out as the only country that has declared itself a secular State. However, it has developed over the years its own unique concept of secularism that is fundamentally different from the parallel American concept of secularism. This article briefly states and explains the constitutional, statutory, and judicial framework of India's religion-state relations, and the unique balance that is found in that framework between secularism and freedom of religion -- namely that, in India, the law of the land determines the scope of religion in society. The article explains the foundational role India's Constitution plays in its religion-state relations. It briefly looks into the legislat...
PORTLAND - The Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System have merged, the two announced Monday.

The Indian government responded soberly to the Oct. 29 terrorist attacks in New Delhi, but consecutive terrorist attacks in the disputed region of Kashmir have strained Pakistani-Indian ties. The testy exchanges between India and Pakistan at the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit over the weekend illustrate vulnerability of the improved relationship between the nuclear-armed neighbors. After terrorists, believed by Indian officials to be members of a Pakistani-based group, killed 62 people in New Delhi as they were busily preparing for a religious festival, India unflinchingly decided to go ahead with plans to open crossing points in Kashmir, which both India and Pakistan control a portion of. Since the Delhi attack, Indian-controlled Kashmi...
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Leaders of India and Pakistan on Sunday held their first direct talks since the two countries nearly went to war two years ago amid high hopes for better relations between the nuclear-armed rivals. Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his Pakistani counterpart, Zafarullah Khan Jamali, met for 15 minutes on the sidelines shortly after the opening of a summit of the seven-nation South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
Indian and Pakistani leaders on Sunday held their first direct talks since nearly coming to war two years ago, infusing a major South Asian summit with hope that a half-century of venom between the uneasy neighbors might give way to rapprochement. Indian Prime Minster Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his Pakistani counterpart met for about 30 minutes on the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation gathering, trading in nuclear bravado for smiling photo-ops and a pledge to maintain the momentum of their nations' most promising meetings in years.

The leaders of Pakistan and India, to be brought together by a meeting of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SARC) in Islamabad, have been crafting a circuitous path toward peace. The two leaders have worked toward establishing ties between the two countries and improving atmospherics, while not directly addressing the main contention between them: the disputed territory of Indian- controlled Kashmir. But even this incremental approach toward peace is fraught with risk, as the attempts on the life of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf suggest. The SARC summit, which begins tomorrow, will bring together the heads of state of seven South Asian countries. Foreign ministers from SARC countries, who are meeting ahead of the summit, have agreed to create a regional free-trade...
