Were there ever rules of war in human history?


- The two wars currently being fought between Israel and Hamas are a kind of brutal war


- Opinion - P. Chidambaram

- Israel was created on the instructions of the United Nations and the Jewish people have been living on this land since 1948. Today's Israel has become so strong that it can single-handedly defeat its neighboring enemies.

Not only do the current wars on Earth raise the question of whether the human race is really more intelligent and well-educated than other creatures, I fear we may not be back to being primitive. Primitives (Stone Age) fought wars with rules and today's countries are fighting without rules.

Were there ever rules of war in human history? A poem written by Nettimayar laid down the ground rules for war between the Tamil kings. A king intending to wage war would utter a warning.

In which it is said that cows, priests, women, the sick, those who do not have children to be cremated should hurry to a safe place because our arrows are reaching at a fast pace.

During the time of Mahabharata, soldiers fought on the battlefield from sunrise to sunset. The battle would stop after sunset and start again the next morning.

Massacre for land

Compared to today, wars of the past were considered civilized and fought with rules, which are not seen in today's era. The two wars currently being played between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas are a kind of brutal war. There is indiscriminate bombardment. Cities and towns in Ukraine and Gaza are turning into ruins. Hospitals and schools are being completely destroyed. Thousands of children, women, elderly and sick are dying. Homeless desperadoes are being sheltered without basic facilities. Thousands of people have been forced to migrate to neighboring countries. Water supply and electricity have been cut off. Even food is not enough. There is a shortage of medicines. Trucks carrying equipment are being intercepted to help.

What is this war for? The issue in the Russia-Ukraine war is dominance. Between 1922 and 1991, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. Thousands of ethnic Russians settled in areas of Ukraine and became a dominant group. After independence, Ukraine has become a stalemate for NATO countries and Russia. Russia fears that if Ukraine joins NATO, NATO troops will move up to its borders. So Russia wants Ukraine to remain a neutral country and wants to annex the part of the area inhabited by ethnic Russians. The present war is for a piece of land. A piece of land is to be joined.

Even in the Israel-Hamas war, the conflict is going on over the issue of land. All Palestinians, some of whom are represented by Hamas, believe that the Jews have usurped their land. This part of the land is known as Palestine and is occupied by Arabs, Jews and Christians. Israel was created on the instructions of the United Nations and the Jewish people have been living on this land since 1948. Today's Israel has become so strong that it can single-handedly defeat its neighboring enemies. It is the only country with nuclear capability in the region. The tide of history may be in favor of Palestine but the fact remains that Israel cannot be wiped off the face of the earth.

Unauthorized United Nations

The United Nations (UN) is a weak organization. It cannot enforce the norms for which the United Nations was created. "We the people of the United Nations are determined to save future generations from a terrible war, in which mankind has twice suffered untold loss, and to ensure that armed forces are not used... and...."

But the United Nations is failing in its mission to protect against the scourge of war and to ensure that armed forces are not used. Also, the type of warfare has changed. There is no direct human-human war. Hand-to-hand combat is a thing of the past. Now the masin wars against the masin. Drones and missiles collide. Fights missile-anti-missile.

If the world does not succeed in resolving land disputes, wars will continue. There is also a land dispute between India and Pakistan. Right-wing extremists are labeling the Indo-Pak conflict as Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan. However, this theory is nonsense. Both countries accepted partition and independence laws. There is a dispute over the land that Pakistan is coveting. There is also a land dispute between India and China, but it is somewhat complicated, as a large part of the border land is unmarked and claimed by both. For this, not war but dialogue is the only way. The Prime Minister has said that this is not an age of war.

Lack of tribunal

Pope Francis has repeatedly pleaded for peace with Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, but no one listens. Even one of his predecessors made many pleas for no more war, never again, but these have fallen on deaf ears and countless wars continue to be fought on earth.

More than 150 countries ratified the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The International Tribunal for the Enforcement of the Law on the Use of Marine Areas has resolved many disputes. Similarly, we expect an international tribunal to be formed to resolve land disputes. The lack of such a tribunal will continue to lead to wars resulting in countless deaths and destruction.

Only the parents can stop the suicide of students in Kota, not the system

Image
- What to do to stop suicide? Within four hours of the committee being formed to make its recommendations, two students committed suicide - The middle class finds medical and engineering as the two best careers for their children. Most of the middle class people have the absurd mentality that self-indulgent children will be successful only if they choose one of these two careers, otherwise they will be considered failures. Due to this, admission in reputed engineering colleges like IIT or NIT or medical colleges like AIIMS is their target. For that you have to score well in JEE and NEET. Parents put so much pressure on their children to get this good score that students break down in the fear of not being able to achieve it. The issue of rising suicides of students taking coaching in Kota, Rajasthan to seek admission in top medical and engineering colleges of the country has been in the news for a long time but nothing was being done. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had formed...

After Rashmika, it's Taylor Swift's turn to face the demon of deepfake

Image
- Social networks are getting ugly these days - Occasional - The press secretary of the White House has also said about Taylor Swift's deepfake image that the situation is alarming. - Rashmika - Taylor Swift Last week, South actress Rashmika was caught in the whirlpool of deepfakes. His photos were digitally deep-faked to make them look like pornography. Now Hollywood singer Taylor Swift is also involved in deepfake technique. Social networks are getting ugly these days. Social network villains who have the ability to blackmail people, trap gullible girls, defame their friends by leaking personal photos or information or ruin someone's rosy marriage have made the entire system dangerous. Social networks, a boon to friends and family-builders, have lost their credibility. The system of social network is positive but its use has fallen into the hands of negative people. Some blackmailing incidents are such that people's marriages are on the verge of breakdown. Those w...

Composer of 117 poems on the beauty of Sabarmati river

Image
- Studying only six books, Acharya wrote 140 texts in Gujarati-Sanskrit language When it was said in the meeting that 'there should be a statue of Padmasanyukta Yoganishtha Buddhisagarsurishwarji on the Sabarmati riverfront', silence spread everywhere. Sahu was perplexed as to why the statue of Karmayogi, Gyanyogi and Dhyanyogi Acharyasri Buddhisagarsuri on the Sabarmati arrow?

Coming from Naroda around 1900, due to its natural beauty passing by the river Sabarmati, many tides arose in his poetic heart and yogi heart. Being a great saint, judging by the beauty of this Sarita, he spoke of the beauty of human life.

Seeing the change in this flowing Sabarmati river from season to season, this is...

Rising crude prices will cripple India's economy

Image
- It's time to look for alternatives to petrol-diesel - The main reason for the rise in crude prices is the increase in prices by Saudi Arabia and the increase in demand for petrol-diesel globally. The Russia-Ukraine war caused a shortage of crude. As demand increases so does the balance of supply and demand. The rest of the Saudis have announced a price hike, which has led to a drought-like situation. Petrol-diesel prices have come down as the central government last month reduced the excise duty on petrol by Rs 2 and diesel by Rs 4. Petrol-diesel prices are expected to rebound before people can enjoy the relief due to the fall in prices as global crude oil prices have started rising. On Friday, crude oil prices were quoted at ૨૫ 15 a barrel in global markets. Given the state of global crude production and the fact that crude is still expected to become more expensive, there are fears that petrol prices may cross another century. Diesel is also close to petrol so if diesel doe...

Ladies' hanging and now female's hanging

Image
- Unencumbered joy-inexhaustible antani Nari kabhi na hari... saw the woman's atan up to the latka now see the hit... not this narabaji heard in the early morning from the ground of the society, but listening to the nari-baji, I and Pathukaka rushed down the stairs and reached the ground. Our beau's eyes widened when he went and saw it. (Ho)Balakaki, Parbhaben, Babuben and Manuben of very old age used to play cricket wearing white t-shirts and white pants. In fact, I got a chance to see the hangings that I had seen so far. When there was a break in the game, Pathukaka, exhibiting his knowledge, said, 'Now after the break-up? Take a breath and answer why this suddenly made you want to start playing cricket? Why did you mock cricket straight from the kitchen?' On a table in the ground with necklaces and saucers arranged, the captain of the women's cricket team, (Ho) Balakaki, went to that table and replied with a sigh, 'Our ladies' cricket team has made th...

Crooked behavior of Congress.

Image
Revival of Congress is impossible. Any ruin can be renovated, but those who are falsely trying to renovate the Congress have themselves become synonymous with failure. It would take a great revolution like the Renaissance in Europe in the Middle Ages to remove the rubble of the Congress and erect a new edifice in its place. Mahakranti alone cannot bring artisans. For that, a smart generation has to show readiness to sacrifice itself. Look for top-notch intelligence and a storm of fresh air. Is Ashok Gehlot or Gandhi family capable of breathing new life into Congress? The manner in which the present elders of the Congress are running the party with Tumakhi will only increase the size of the grave of the Congress. Congress has settled in the valley of inaction. Congress has become a puddle ten miles deep underground. Rahul Gandhi tries to scoop up the dirty water spoon by spoon and gets his own T-shirt dirty. Rain frogs also come into action every ten months. Congress has gone dormant....

I am a single panth traveler... these young people don't have to get married

Image
- Comma - In a country like India where marriage is so important for both men and women that if a family has an unmarried son or daughter it becomes a topic of discussion among friends, family and relatives. Marriage is considered as the pillar of the family but slowly this pillar is starting to crack. First joint families changed to nuclear families, then women and men started taking responsibility for children alone and now many young people do not want to move towards marriage and then a life with children. For them, marriage is no longer a sacred bond of seven births, but a lifelong punishment. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the report released by the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation. According to this report, the proportion of unmarried youth in India is increasing. Is. In 2011, the number of unmarried youth was 17.2 percent, which has reached 23 percent in 2019. At the same time, in 2011 there were 20.8 percent of men who did not want to get ...

The dog's tail is bent, the light chin needs to be taught a lesson

Image
- China officially claims 8 areas of India as its own. Attempts to usurp these areas do just that. For this, Chaswar attacks. As a result of this, China calms down and after a few days comes back to fighting. China is very naive so it doesn't matter what India does or talks about its problems internationally. The border between China and India has flared up again. A clash between the armies of the two countries took place as they sought to capture the strategically important town of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh on the India-China border. On December 9, 600 Chinese soldiers were about to infiltrate to remove the Indian post in Yangste, Tawang, but the Indian army was alert and did not enter. China has been trying to invade Tawang for a long time. As part of this, three times in the last one week, Chinese drones have crossed the border and entered Indian territory. Sukoi planes of Indian Air Force shot down this drone so there was no damage but our army knew that China would show i...

New Delhi: Controversy over the acquittal of gangster-leader Anand Mohan Singh, who was found guilty of killing an IAS officer in Bihar. BJP is stunned by Sushil Kumar Modi's statement when the opposition including BJP is throwing fish on the Nitish government on this issue. Opposing the release of Anand Mohan, Sushil Modi said that if the law can be changed for respectable people, why not for the poor and Dalits? Most of the people jailed under the prohibition law in Bihar are poor and downtrodden, why is the government not amnestying them and releasing them?
