W. Abstract: The article examines the India-Pakistani nuclear arms race and its effect to the regional security in South Asia today. The tenth anniversary of India and Pakistan’s 1998 nuclear tests enables scholars to revisit the issue of South Asian proliferation with a decade of hindsight. In this article, I examine two phases of Indo-Pakistani relations after the nuclear tests: the period from 1998 to 2002, from 2002 to 2008, and from 2008 forward. Nuclear weapons have had two destabilizing effects on the South Asian security environment. First, nuclear weapons’ ability to shield Pakistan against an all-out Indian retaliation and attract international attention to Pakistan’s dispute with India, encouraged aggressive Pakistani behavior. Second, these crises have triggered significant changes in India’s conventional military posture. Such developments may lead to future regional instability. This study was carried out using secondary data method. Furthermore, this study is also based on the method of descriptive analysis.

Abstract: Philosophy literally means ‘Love of wisdom’. In this context there are two major divisions of philosophy such as, Eastern and Western philosophy. Eastern philosophy is closely associated with religious beliefs and values. Whereas the western philosophical thoughts related with knowledge, metaphysics, ethics and aesthetic as well. As far as the Indian philosophy is concerned which has proposed a distinct approach about the origin of knowledge. In addition to reason and experience, the Indian epistemology also emphasized testimony as one of the sources of knowledges. Hence in ordered unlike the source of western epistemological sources of knowledge the Indian epistemological family believes a separate entity called testimony also one of the commonest of the sources of knowledge. In order to gain the proper logical reasoning logic itself playing a pivotal and also lead a proper mode of thought. Further this paper is striving to bring out what short of strategy the Indian thinkers had used to secure this method of thoughts to justify the proper mode of knowledge.

Tens of thousands of people are dying and suffering from Corona virus. So, Corona vaccines are being invented and distributed in many countries with the advice of the World Health Organization to save the people from that virus. Corona vaccines have been given in Sri Lanka for the last three months. Although the government is paying more attention to the corona vaccine, people may find themselves in a state of confusion over the physical, psychological and behavioral changes caused by the corona vaccine. Based on this, the study aims to determine the physical, psychological and social / behavioral changes in those who have been vaccinated . In this study, questionnaires were given to 75 rendemly selected candidates from Akkaraipattu area and collected. Initial data were obtained from questionnaires, interviews, observations, and secondary data were obtained from research subdivisions, WHO reports, web articles, and journals. The findings of the study show that although most of those surveyed have indicated that the vaccine is essential, it is feared that it may cause side effects. The study also found physical, psychological and behavioral changes in those who were vaccinated. Most of them have physical changes such as headache, fever, body aches and limb pain.
