The report in Bangladesh-based daily further highlighted that Chinese investments in water-based resources is leading to adverse impact on the environment, displacement of local people and huge debt to countries.

This is precisely why nations have begun to preserve fresh water and, in some cases, have gone beyond to become global water hegemons, as they grow and develop. One example in the list is China. Being a water-stressed country, Beijing made huge investments in water-based resources globally. However, apart from the geo-political implications, China's water hegemony has had an adverse impact on the environment, and well-being of local populations and pushed nations into debt traps due to resource-intensive investments in dam/hydroelectric projects. According to the Daily Asian Age report, China is said to have constructed a whopping 308 dams in 70 countries on various rivers (Tibet Policy Institute, September 23, 2016).

hero cop" delivering quick justice without bothering about the due process of law, as shown in blockbuster films like "Singham", sends out a very harmful message, Justice Gautam Patel of the Bombay High Court said on Friday. Speaking at a function organised by the Indian Police Foundation to mark its annual day and Police Reforms Day, he also questioned people's «impatience» with the process of law.

Justice has been served, they feel, but has it?» he said. This view is deeply pervasive and reflected strongly in our popular culture, especially in Indian cinema, Justice Patel noted. «In movies, police rail against judges who are shown as docile, timid, thickly-spectacled and often very badly dressed.

Justin Trudeau seeks to return to governance for a third straight term, his popularity seems to have taken a hit, giving way to Conservative Right wing opposition candidate Pierre Poilievre. PM Trudeau's handling of the killing of Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar seems to indicate a subtle dissociation from a right-wing leader in order to propel his static year-over-year at 31 per cent popularity as best choice for Prime Minister candidate. The need to move away, rather severe ties with right wing ideologies seems like an opportune moment for an unfazed PM Trudeau.
