Happy Krishna Janmashtami @militarychoice
Shri Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of the Bhadrapada month.
At the time of his birth, the rule of evil was on rise and dharma was on decline. To rid the world of evil and to spread the dharma, Lord Vishnu's eighth incarnation took place in the human form.
Shri Krishna showed love towards all, rid the world of evil during his time, and showed the path of dharma. The message of Lord Krishna to help guide us through the tumult of life and overcome dilemmas is contained in the timeless book of Shri Bhagavad Gita.
Let us celebrate this festival with joy, spread love, and follow the path of nishkama karma to attain Moksha.

What is the 'One China' policy? @militarychoiceblog #GKbyMilitaryChoice
👉 It is the diplomatic acknowledgement of China's position that there is only one Chinese government.
👉 Under the policy, the US recognises and has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be reunified with the mainland one day.
👉 The One China policy is a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations. It is also a fundamental bedrock of Chinese policy-making and diplomacy.
✍ However, it is distinct from the One China principle,whereby China insists Taiwan is an inalienable part of one China to be reunified one day.
