THE
Beas in June is low and its waters flow slowly around many belas
(islands formed by the receding waters). They will disappear again in
the rains, consumed by the rising river. Nearly 400 years ago, Guru
Hargobind arrived on this promontory overlooking the river, seeking a
place to spend the rainy season in and built a settlement for his
followers here. As his conflicts with
the Mughals were intensifying, the Guru fortified the city well.

Generalisations
a form of mental myopia
by I.M.Soni

Intellectual myopia is short vision life-wise. It is shortcut
thinking.
Open
Source Intelligence a ‘force multiplier’
by Prashant
Bakshi
INTELLIGENCE
agencies have for long relied on SIGINT (Signal Intelligence), HUMINT
(Human Intelligence) and COMINT (Communication Intelligence) for their
information-gathering requirements. In recent times, ‘open sources’
have evolved tremendously to the extent that they are seriously
considered a source of intelligence, hence the term OSCINT (Open
Source Intelligence).
