There was no solution in the two-day talks between India and Pakistan in Washington about the impasse over the design of two hydro power projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Secretary-level talks held on September 14-15, regarding the technical issues of Kishanganga and Rattal Hydro Power Plant, under the auspices of the World Bank under the provisions of the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, were unsuccessful.

The World Bank is also a signatory in the treaty between India and Pakistan. The World Bank has said that it will continue to cooperate in resolving issues both countries peacefully.

The World Bank said in a statement, "Though no agreement was reached in this meeting. But the World Bank will work together in concert with the two countries to resolve this issue in a consistent manner and in accordance with the provisions of the treaty."

In this meeting, Water Resources Secretary Amarjeet Singh and Incharge Joint Secretary in the Pakistan Desk of the Ministry of External Affairs, Deepak Mittal joined the Indian side. At the same time, Water and Electricity Secretary Yusuf Nasim Khokhar was included in the Pakistani team with Secretary of Water Resources, Arif Ahmed Khan.

Pakistan is accused of India that its design of hydropower plants violates the Indus Water Treaty.

The existing processes under the treaty are connected to Kishanganga (330 MW) and Rattal (850 MW) hydropower plants. India is constructing these plants on Kishanganga and Chenab rivers. The World Bank is not financing any of these plants.

The World Bank said that the Indus Water Treaty, 1960 is seen as one of the most successful international treaties. This treaty is still going on despite the tension between India and Pakistan.

The World Bank, arbitrating in the Indus Water Treaty, had said in September that India and Pakistan had approached him and he was reacting in line with his limited and procedural role as fixed in the treaty.

The World Bank had said, "India and Pakistan have informed the World Bank that both of them have initiated proceedings related to the Indus Water Treaty 1960 and World Bank is responding to the limited and procedural role set forth in the Group Treaty.''

This treaty sets out the mechanisms of cooperation and exchange of information in the context of the use of rivers between the two countries. This is called the permanent Indus Commission and it includes one commissioner from both the countries.

It also decides the process of resolving the alleged questions, differences and disputes that may arise between the parties.

International human rights organization Amnesty International has said that they have strong evidence that the Myanmar army has set fire to houses of Rohingya Muslims in a planned manner.

Amnesty International has said that photographs taken from the satellite kept Myanmar's violent. There is a fierce fire on more than 80 places in the province.

According to this, the witnesses themselves have told that Myanmar's army and attacking gangs used petrol and rocket launchers to burn the house and killed the Rohingya residents by firing indiscriminately.

"The information we have collected from different sources clearly shows that racial elimination campaign is being run by Myanmar's security forces," said Olaf Blumquist, an Amnesty International researcher. Rakhine Province is burning.''

According to Olaf Blumquist, "We have gathered evidence of fire in more than 80 places throughout the province.

The result of this is that the Myanmar army is in any way running a campaign to oust the Rohingya people from the country. The army and the attacking gang are working together."

Although the army has denied this and said that he has launched a military campaign in response to the attack of Rohingya extremists.

Rohingya Muslims are reaching Bangladesh in thousands of thousands of lives saved from Myanmar. And with the arrival of such a large number of refugees, Bangladesh too is in trouble.

Meanwhile, the United States and Britain have also instructed the Myanmar army to stop violence. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said that the violence against the Rohingya people should be closed immediately.

Tillerson, who went on a trip to Britain, said, "We believe Aung San Suu Kyi is facing very difficult and complex situations. And I think it is very important that the rest of the world also speak on this. These violence must stop immediately."

He said, "A lot of people are giving it the name of the racial massacre. We should support Suu Kyi and her leadership, but the army that has shared in power must give a clear message that this violence is unacceptable.

Britain's Foreign Minister Boris Johnson has said that Myanmar's top leader Aung San Suu Kyi should use her moral effect.

He said, "I respect her struggle for democracy and I think that many people in this world think so, but I think that now it has become necessary that they have their own influence should be used and should speak on the problem of people in Rakhine province."

He said, "No one would want that military rule in Burma returned, but it is important for them to say that they are hate and people should get permission to come back."

There has been a struggle between Rohingya and Buddhists for many years in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar. Tens of thousands of Rohingyas have escaped to Bangladesh and the migration continues.

Some of these refugees have also arrived in India, where there is a demand to send them back and in this case there is a case even in the Supreme Court of India.

On the other hand, on the appeal of Dhaka, the Government of India has decided to send relief material extending the hand for refugees to Bangladesh who arrived in Bangladesh.

Human rights group Amnesty International has released satellite photos of the villages of Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine Province of Myanmar, which indicate that villages are planned to be burnt in a planned manner.

Amnesty says that there is evidence that the security forces are trying to get the minorities out of the country.

While Myanmar's army says that they are just fighting with extremists and citizens are not being targeted.

On August 25, 3,89,000 Rohingyas migrated to Bangladesh due to the violence that took place in the province of Rakhine Province. In Myanmar, they are being tortured for long as a non-permanent migrant.

Rohingya Muslims have been living in Myanmar for many generations, but they are not getting citizenship there.

According to the Government of Myanmar, at least 30% of villages in Rakhine province have now been vacant.

Myanmar has had to face the condemnation of international crisis on Rohingya crisis.

On Thursday, US Secretary of State Rex Tylson has said that it is a critical watch for Myanmar's democracy.

He said in London, "I believe that it is important that we support the behavior of the global community with the people of any caste."

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that Rohingya Muslims are facing destructive humanitarian crisis and attacks on villages can not be accepted.

The United Nations Security Council has urged to take immediate steps to end violence.

Amnesty has said that he has gathered new evidence through fire detection data, satellite imagery, photographs and videos, besides the eyewitness statements.

Amnesty official Tirana Hassan said, "The evidence can not be denied, Myanmar's security forces are conducting a planned campaign to set fire to the Rohingya Muslims out of Myanmar in Northern Rakhine Province. There will be no mistake in saying that this is a genocide."

Amnesty has said that security forces surround the villages, run firing on people fleeing, and burn their homes. Amnesty described it as an offense against humanity.

Human rights group claims that it has detected 80 major incidents of arson in the residential areas since August 25.

On August 25, the rebel Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army has set fire to many police stations, followed by violence there.

Amnesty says that he has proof of that Rohingya extremists are burning local villages in the Buddhist villages.

In the United Nations, the Myanmar envoy accused Rohingya Muslim extremists of violence.

Government spokesman Zau Hte has asked the displaced people to take shelter in temporary camps in Myanmar, but those who have fled to Bangladesh will not be allowed to return to Myanmar.

General Min Aung Hlang of the army in Myanmar said that the Rakhine Buddhists have been living here for many generations.

The government has admitted that 176 Rohingya villages have been vacant.

The government has strict control over Rakhine Province and the BBC's Jonathan Head was included in the journalists who had let the government keep it in a controlled tour. They saw the villages of Muslims burning up. They say that the police was not doing anything to stop the fire.

Nearly one million people of Rohingya community live in Myanmar, apart from Muslims there are many Hindus.

It is believed that the origins of Rohingya Muslims were in Bangladesh or West Bengal, but they have settled in Myanmar for many centuries.

At least 60 people have died in two attacks in southern Iraq. Health officials gave information about the number of dead.

The extremist organization Islamic State has taken responsibility for these attacks.

A suicide bomber blew himself up in a restaurant in the capital Nasiria of Dhikar province and some gunmen fired.

The attackers came in the military vehicles of theft. Police officer Ali Abdul Hussain told Reuters, "An attacker was wearing an explosive belt. He blew himself in a crowded restaurant, while some other gunmen started throwing grenades and firing on those who were eating there."

Shortly after this, a car bomb exploded at a nearby checkpoint. According to health officials, there are at least seven Iranian nationals who died and over 90 injured. Many of them are in serious condition.

According to the news agency AFP, a report says that the attackers were in the costume of the members of the Shiite organization Hashd-al-Shabi, who fought with the Iraqi army, fighting against Islamic State.

According to unconfirmed reports, some policemen have been killed in the attack on the checkpoint. But just how many people have died in that attack, it has not been cleared now.

The BBC's Middle East editor Alan Johnston says that Islamic State is getting one defeat after the other in Iraq and Syria, but they are still capable of aiming at simple goals.

It is believed that hundreds of extremists fighting for Islamic State are still ready to attack.

However, in southern Iraq, relatively similar attacks have been reduced. Where this attack took place, there is a huge crowd of Shia devotees who travel to Najaf and Karbala and those coming from Iran.

Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar are forced to leave their homes and get displaced. Rohingyas are going to Bangladesh in thousands of thousands. Hundreds of them have been killed.

Rohingya Muslims have also been as migrants in India. The questions are also rising on the leader of Myanmar and the honorable Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

This report by Dr. Len Queok, Harvard Kenedy School of Government researcher on violence against Rohingya Muslims says that after all the rumors, Buddhists are scared of four percent Muslims. Read their report -

In Myanmar, the direct tension between Buddhists and Muslims is directly related to the violence between Rohingya muslims and Arkhnis Buddhists since May 2012 in the western state Rakhine capital of Sitve of the country.

In October this year, violence in other areas of Rakhine. Later, not only Rohingya but other Muslims also started being targeted. Hundreds have died in this conflict and thousands have been displaced. It continues to be scary even today.

In 2013 in other areas of Myanmar, violence against Muslims has also sparked. From the United Nations, human rights organizations around the world have blamed the government for preventing violence against Rohingya Muslims. On the other hand, the Myanmar government continued to dismiss these claims.

The danger of religious conflict is not only in Myanmar but it can also be felt across the border. Southeast Asia is quite diverse in religious form. Generally this terrain is known for its tolerance. When Muslims were targeted in Myanmar, its reaction was reflected in Muslim-dominated countries.

Attacked on Buddhists in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Indonesia. A Buddhist center was blown up in Jakarta. An unsuccessful attempt was made to plant a bomb in the Myanmar Embassy in Indonesia. Such incidents have increased the risk of creating religious unrest in the whole area.

The anti-Muslim sentiment in Myanmar is not new. Its roots are in the colonialist policies. A large number of Muslim workers were brought from India to Myanmar. There were riots in the 1930s against the Indians. They demanded that Indians be sent back.

There was an indignation against the restoration of Indians in the ships. There was a riot in 1938 against these Indians. In 1938, the riots against Indian Muslims were allegedly related to that book written by an Indian Muslim. It is said that Buddhism was humiliated in this book.

In Myanmar today, on the sentiment and bustle against the Muslims. There is lack of an extraordinary support to Rohingya Muslims here.

Buddhists and Christians here believe that Rohingya Muslims are illegal Bengali migrants. They say that under the rules of Myanmar's citizenship of 1982, they are ineligible.

Under the Citizenship Act of 1982, if the applicant does not belong to officially registered 135 ethnic group in Myanmar, then he has no right to get a citizen. Rohingya Muslim is standing on poor and marginal due to this rule. In Myanmar Rohingya Muslims are seen to add anger to their citizenship. Here the hatred against the Muslims is increasing steadily.

The reason behind the anti-Muslim sentiment in Myanmar is quite complicated, but the perceptions associated with these are quite strong. In Myanmar the notion that Muslims are very much, very rich and very different. There is a belief in the minds of the people that the Muslims are growing very fast and if it is not seriously taken care of, then the Buddhist heritage like India and Indonesia will also end here.

In Rakhine, the majority of the Arakhaniz Buddhists have been deeply entrenched into the minds that the Islamization and Burmification of Rakhine is happening. The second impression of hate against Muslims is that Muslims are using their money to buy land.

By doing this, Burmese women are attracted to marriage and after marriage they convert in Islam make them a Muslim. About these poor Rohingya Muslims, it is also being said that the best house, guns and rockets are buying. At the same time, there is a charge against the construction of the mosque.

Due to rumors, anger is rising against Muslims. The loss of their property is also continuing. They have to pay bribe to save themselves from administrative officials. In July 2013 a Buddhist monk of the 969 movement in the American-Asian Business Council also said the third reason.

They had said that historically there is a tense relationship with Muslims compared to good relations with Hindus and Christians. The Buddhists here believe that the faith and tradition of the Muslims is different. Although this can be said about Hindu and Christian religion.

The reason for the conflict is not to be a different religion, but the case is of identity and concept. In today's date, Myanmar is passing through the historic transition period and it is not clear who is the winner and whose share is in defeat.

In Myanmar this feeling has become strong that Muslims are outsiders and they are spreading encroachment on the land of gold stupas. On the back of this logic, Buddhist nationalism is spreading in Myanmar. Such sentiment is fast approaching that it is compulsory for Burmese to be a Buddhist. The land of Buddhist nationalism was ready only during the 969 movement.

Some people say that people within the government are justifying the violence against the Muslims. On the logic of instability, the rule of military dictatorship can again be justified in Myanmar. The opposition won the 2015 election.

However, the feeling of high and low in both Islam and Buddhism has been dismissed. There is no such thing as spiritual supremacy and there is a strong emphasis on acceptance.

Buddhist organizations have a good influence in the Government of Myanmar. In such a situation, the government can solve this problem even if the government wants it.

The government of Myanmar can easily remove this fear from the majority of Buddhists that Muslims will not dominate them. Only four percent of the total population in Myanmar are Muslims.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that Rohingya Muslims are facing humanitarian disasters in Myanmar. Guterres said that the alleged attacks of security forces on the houses of Rohingya villagers can not be accepted in any way. They have appealed to stop military action from Myanmar.

The Myanmar army has denied the charge of targeting the common people and said that he is fighting extremists.

Since the violence launched in Myanmar last month, about 3,79,000 Rohingya refugees have crossed the boundary and have taken shelter in Bangladesh. Many of their villages have been burnt in the Rakhine province.

Rohingya Muslims are minorities in Buddhist-dominated Rakhine province. Myanmar considers them an illegal refugee. They have been living in Myanmar for many generations, but they have not got citizenship there.

The violence against Rohingya and the consequent refugee crisis is to meet the United Nations in a short time.

Myanmar officials say the country's leader Aung San Suu Kyi will not be involved in an important discussion of the UN General Assembly scheduled for September 19. However, on this day she will address the country.

UN refugee agency says that the help of Rohingya refugees living in temporary camps in Bangladesh is inadequate.

Antonio Guterres has appealed for help from the international community. They said, "The number of Rohingya refugees coming from Bangladesh last week was one lakh 25 thousand. Now this number has tripled."

He said, "Many of them are living in temporary camps or with people helping, but women and children are reaching in hungry and undernourished condition."

When this crisis can be called the ethnic massacre, Guterres said, "One-third (Rohingya) population has to leave the country and run away. Can you use a better word for it? ''

The United Nations Secretary-General has also criticized the attacks of Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, a fighting organization with the army, but he also said that the action of the army should also be stopped and those who have left their home should be allowed to return.

President of Iraqi Kurdistan Masoud Barzani has indicated that if the Iraqi government does not accept the results of the referendum this month, then they will decide the boundaries of future Kurdistan.

There is a referendum on freedom in Kurdistan this month.

Masoud Barzani has told the BBC that if the Kurds vote to make a separate country, then they want an agreement with the central government.

At the same time, the Iraqi prime minister has told this referendum unconstitutional.

Barzani has warned that if any group tries to change the situation of Kirkuk on the strength of strength then the Kurd will fight with him.

Oil rich and Turks and Arab population with Kirkuk control at the hands of Kurd Peshmerga forces at this time.

Shia militia fighters say that Kirkuk will not be part of any independent Kurdistan.

The Kurd is the fourth largest racial community in the Middle East, but has never been a permanent nation.

Kurds population are up to 15-20 percent in Iraq, but here under the Arab-led governments, they have been exploited for decades.

After the 1991 Gulf War, the Kurds achieved autonomy.

Kurdistan's provincial government and political parties had decided to make a referendum on the issue of independence three months ago.

Voting for this referendum on September 25 is to be voted.

Kurdish officials say that if people vote for an independent nation, then this does not mean immediate independence, but the long conversations of separation with the central government will start.

Barzani told the BBC, "This is the first step. This will be the first time in history when the Kurdish people will decide their future independently."

"After the referendum, we will negotiate with Baghdad about the borders, oil and water sharing," he said.

They said, "We will take these steps, but if they do not accept it, then it will be a different matter."

The United States and Britain have warned that independence can be a major danger when Iraq is fighting extremist organizations Islamic State.

Barzani ignored the warning and said, "When did we have stability or security in this area, which we are afraid of losing? When Iraq was so united that we were worried about ending its unity. Those who are saying this are just looking for excuses to stop us."

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being criticised about his Twitter account in the international media.

PM Modi has also been questioned about those who follow on Twitter.

In separate articles, it has been said that Modi follows those people who are spreading poison against minorities, threatening women journalists for rape, and talking about spreading violence.

In fact, five September (2017) senior journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead in Bangalore outside of her house by unknown criminals.

Then a large number supported murder on social sites. Among them were those who followed by the PM Modi on Twitter. Nikhil Dadhich's name remains a topic of discussion in them. Who had told the killing of a journalist to die of a dog.

After this incident, PM Modi was questioned internationally.

International media institutions such as The Guardian and The New York Times have criticized him, saying, "Such people of Prime Minister Modi have been continuously getting support in secret or open form."

The New York Times World writes on Twitter, "After this tweet (Nikhil Dadhich), should PM Modi follow such people in which the murder of a journalist was described as a dog's death?"

The New York Times writes in the news, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is famous all over the world, follows a person on Twitter who tells the killing of a woman journalist to die of a dog."

It was further written in the news that this objectionable tweet was done by Nikhil Dadhich's Twitter account. However it was later deleted. Dadhich is the same who PM Modi follows, but he is being followed even after the incident.

On the other hand, PM Modi has been criticized in an article printed in The Guardian. The article said, "India's ruling party has so far supported PM Modi's Twitter account in which he follows people such as Nikhil Dadhich. Modi follows people who rejoice at the death of a journalist. Opposition parties across India opposed the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh, but supporters of Modi justified the murder. Modi, who follows, says that a journalist died of a dog.

It was further stated in the article that while PM Modi himself operates his Twitter account and follows 1779 people on Twitter.

American Media Quartz writes, "People are blocking the Prime Minister in India. #BlockNarendraModi stayed in top trending on Twitter on 7th September.

China's official newspaper Global Times writes, "After the assassination of journalist, Prime Minister Modi was opposed in the social media. Modi has alleged that he has not yet condemned the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh.
