Abstract

In recent years, the idea of Asia is generating great excitement. The resurgence of Asia is resulting as a turning point in the world history. The emerging Asia is no longer been viewed with the earlier stereotyped vision as a quagmire of poverty, illiteracy, religious fundamentalism and border disputes. The region’s different identity in terms of faiths, religions, cultures, political systems and economic inequalities is now been skillfully used by the Asian states for their own development. Various regions of Asia have acknowledged the liberal and democratic values of the West but at the same time have identified and adopted their own model linked to their respective cultures and values.

Various studies are available which justify this argument. However, figures vary in most of such studies for various reasons like methodology, data collection, biases, etc. Academic paper like Tom McArthur, “English as an Asian Language”, http://​www.​accu.​or.​jp/​appreb/​09/​pdf33-2/​33-2P003-004.​pdf, accessed on Oct 6, 2011, highlight this argument by putting across empirical, observational and theoretical arguments.

‘Militarisation of space’ is about using satellites for the purposes of military communication, reconnaissance and navigation. Such usage is universally accepted and is not in violation of any treaty regime. ‘Weaponisation of space’ means causing intentional damage to the space assets of other states either of permanent or temporary in nature.
