Dear New Indian /, [¾]

Sir, This year we are reaching an important milestone in New India's
success journey, the hundredth year / of successful operations. The [1]
milestone becomes momentous in today's era when the average lifespan of
a company, / Listed is the S&P 700 index of Leading US companies has [1¼]
reduced from 67 years in 1920 to / just 15 years in 2012. The moment is [1½]
of great significance and Pride for all the New Indians and / is an occasion [1¾]
to celebrate the New India's Legacy and it's long successful journey.

New India today // has evolved into a true multinational general [2]
insurance company, as envisioned by the founder of the company. The // [2¼]
journey till date has been remarkable and the future appears to be brighter.

The growth of New India implies / a strong economic growth of the [2½]
Country over the years. Our business of protecting the businesses has
helped in / creating many successful Indian giants. We would like to thank [2¾]
all the valued clients and customers for believing us // all these years. We [3]
would also like to thank the agency force, the brokers, all other
intermediaries / and associates for their trust and continued relationship [3¼]
with our company.

But all these would not have been possible / without the committed [3½]
New Indians who have always Lived our core value of excellence in
customer service and satisfaction. / I would like to congratulate and thank [3¾]
you all New Indians, without whom this journey would never have been / [4]

possible. Our success has been the result of the efforts put in by the New
Indians, each and / every day. [4¼]

It's well said that it's harder to stay on top than it is to make / the [4½]
climb. We rededicate ourselves to ensure that we continue to flourish and
do well in our journey of / "Leadership & Beyond". [4¾]

Thanking you once again.

Security in the Contemporary World

At its most basic, security implies freedom from threats. Human
existence and the / life of a country are full of threats. Does that means [¼]
that every single threats counts as a security / threats? [½]
Those who study security, therefore, generally say that only those
things that threaten 'core values' / should be regarded as being of interest [¾]
in discussions of security. Whose core values though? The core values
// of the country as a whole? The core values of ordinary women and [1]

SS–33–SH.HD. (English) 1327 [ Turn Over

men in the street? Do / governments, on behalf of citizens, always have [1¼]
the same notion of core values as the ordinary citizen?/ [1½]

Furthermore when we speak of threats to core values, how intense
should the threats be? Surely there are big / and small threats to virtually [1¾]
every value we hold dear. Can all those threats be brought into the
understanding / of security? Every time another country does something [2]
or falls to do something, this may damage the core / values of one's [2¼]
country.

Every time a persone is robbed in the streets the security of ordinary
people / as they live their daily lives is harmed. Yet, we would be paralysed [2½]
if we took such an / extensive view of security : every where we looked, [2¾]
the world would be full of dangers.

So we // are brought to a conclusion security relates only extremely [3]
dangerous threats. Threats that could so endanger core values that / those [3¼]
values would be damaged beyond repair if we did not do something to
deal with the situation.

Having / said that we must admit that security remains a slippery [3½]
idea. For instance, have societies always had the / same conception of [3¾]
security? If would be surprising if they did because so many things change
in the world // around us. And, at any given time in world history, do all [4]
societies have the same conception / of security? Again it would be [4¼]
amazing if six hundred and fifty crore people organised in nearly 200
countries /, had the same conception of security! Let us begin by putting [4½]
the various notions of security under two / groups : traditional and non [4¾]
traditional conception of security.

SS–33–SH.HD. (English) 1327

7
Most of the time when we read and hear about // security we are [5]
talking about traditional, national security conceptions of security. In the
traditional conception of security, / the greatest danger to a country is from [5¼]
military threats. The source of this danger is another country which / by [5½]
threatening military action endangers the core values of sovereignty.
Military action also endangers the lives of ordinary citizens /. It is unlikely [5¾]
that in a war only soldiers will be hurt or killed.

In responding to the // threats of war a government has three basic [6]
choices : to surrender : to prevent the other side from attacking / by [6¼]
promising to raise the costs of war to an unacceptable level to defend itself
when war actually / breaks out so as to deny the attacking country its [6½]
objectives and to turn back or defeat the attacking forces / altogether, [6¾]
Governments surrender when actually confronted by war but they will not
advertise this policy of the country.// [7]
