Far off from the US-Af-Pak tussle and mid east saga, there's another unrest brewing up - among two ASEAN countries and an icon of Indian culture lies beneath the dispute's pivot. An upcoming power that we are ... time for action?

Plea for Indian Initiative to Resolve Thai-Cambodian Conflict over Preah Vihar
Excerpts:
....The temple of Preah Vihar, dedicated to Lord Siva, located in the Thai - Cambodia border, has once again got mired into bilateral dispute, unfortunately leading to armed skirmishes and even killing of innocent civilians. Bilateral talks between the two countries and even attempts made by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to broker peace have not succeeded. Preah Vihar is one of the most glorious illustrations of India's abiding cultural influences in Southeast Asia. What is more, New Delhi has excellent equations with both Bangkok and Phnom Penh. It is high time that the Ministry of External Affairs should take initiative and get the area declared as a non-militarized zone....

Virendra
