Time has come UN, world powers intervene in Kashmir to restore peace in South Asia and Afghanistan Ghulam Nabi Fai | 16.03.2021
WASHINGTON
The Kashmir question is one of the oldest unresolved international problems in the world. The experience of nearly seven decades has shown that it will not go away and that an effort is urgently required to resolve it on a durable basis. Durable in this context is synonymous with equitable. It is imperative, whatever be the rights and wrongs in the equation as far as arguments go, real populations with a pronounced sense of identity of their own, with their suffering and their aspirations, rather than just legal title and merit are involved.

YANGON On this day in 1947 General Aung San, the architect of Myanmar’s independence, hosted a dinner for renowned British writer Maurice Collis, who had served as an administrator in colonial Myanmar (then Burma), at the Dorchester Hotel in London where he was lodging.
Gen. Aung San, nearly 32 at the time, had signed an agreement the day before with British Prime Minister Clement Attlee that granted independence for Myanmar in one year. The general said he had read all of the books written by Collis on Myanmar and expressed his admiration.
