Preparing for the 3rd millennium
Are we on the threshold of World War IV?

Will the new millennium herald the much-feared Armageddon? Is Kashmir on the way to becoming Asia’s cockpit? Will Israel’s ‘ethno-bomb’ provide the climax to clash of civilisations? Are cyber-battles going to be the mainstay to the new millennium’s wars? Will India emerge as the new super power that would ‘Hinduise’ the world? Is it possible for the largely emaciated South to dominate the prosperous and stronger North, ask Randeep and A. N. Wadehra.
