BREXIT and the Left Behind

The European Union or commonly referred to as the EU is an economic and political union of European states, with its de facto capital Brussels. The founding stones for the European Union were laid on 1ST Nov 1993, Maastricht, Netherlands. The EU is governed by chimerical institutions and intergovernmental negotiated decisions of the member states. The EU traces its ancestry from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC).

After the prayers have been done, it is a common tradition for children to burst crackers and for the elders and other members of a family to visit

The show of diplomacy by Narendra Modi not only saved India from a war with China, but in fact averted a mass level continental war for regional supremacy. This article will not look into how the conflict started, but what is going on in the head of the mighty dragon after the stand-off ended in rapid disengagement of troops alongside the border. China has a desire to become the warden of the East i.e. Asia, but with its conflicting ideologies and hidden political motives China is always seen as a bully rather than as a leader or a friend. China claims territories of 23 countries, even though it only has borders with 14, the total area of China’s claims on other countries exceeds the size of modern China itself, but Beijing refuses to budge on its claims of historical precedents. China is being criticised for its thirst for dominance, power and aggressive expansion of its territory to g
