It is a ship owned by Japan based ship company. The pirates had hijacked the ship in September 2008 and took it near to Somalia shores. There were 18 sailors from India who were made captive. The pirates had asked for ransom of 2.5 million dollars with a dead line of October 16, 2008.
It is pertinent to mention here that in September 2008 another ship 'MV Iran Deyanat' was also hijacked offshore Somalia. The transitional government of Somalia is not able to stop such hijackings which are being undertaken in the Gulf of Adens.

PM flags off Kashmir's first train
PM flags off Kashmir's first train
The Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh flagged off the beautifully decorated first train in Kashmir at the Nowgam railway station in Srinagar this morning ie. Saturday, October 11, 2008.
(TOI): The first Kashmir train connects Srinagar to Rajwanshar in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.
The track is 66 km (to be extended in future when the 117km rail link will connect Baramulla in the north with Qazigund in the south and, eventually, should be integrated into India's massive national rail network.) and the train has 8 coaches.
The History: (TOI)
Kashmir was promised a rail link by Maharaja Pratap Singh, the region's Dogra ruler in 1892. The British assured to materialize that dream but nothing ever was done.
There were then different type of problems posed by nature herself and by man himself. Strife and terrorism came in the way and the challenge of boring through weak mountains and bridging huge crevasses stalled the project several times.

Different Dimensions of US-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation
Bloomberg.com: India & Pakistan
From the above report, following extract has been derived.
President Bush has signed the US-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement on October 8, 2008.
The general electric co. now can sell nuclear fuel and technology to India which has tremendous demand for energy.
The law passed is US-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement. The Senate passed the legislation allowing the India nuclear accord on Oct. 1 by a vote of 86-13. The House approved the measure by a vote of 298-117 on Sept. 27.
India needs energy in great amount in order to sustain its 8% economic growth annually. For that, it is estimated that there is scope of 175 billion dollar business with India.
However, even when the legislation has been passed and now becomes an act, there is still opposition against the cooperation with India.
The agreement signed by President Bush is governed by U.S. Atomic Energy Act.
The opponents to the agreement in US feel that India will abuse the cooperation extended by US to India in order to develop her energy producing nuclear facilities. The main susceptible group is Arms Control Association and Centre of Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
Before the agreement, India was benefited when India got waiver from the NSG and allowed to buy nuclear fuel and technology. India has yet to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The agreement will also be beneficial to the U.S. It will create nearly 2.5 lakh jobs in U. S.
The U. S. companies which may trade with India in field of nuclear technologies and goods are General Electric co, Areva SA, Westinghouse Electric co and Rosatom Corp.
The India first reactor was build with the technology of General Electric Co. in 1961.
However, the opponent of the agreement feel that India would again indulge in nuclear arms prolification. They emphasis that as per the US Atomic Energy Act, in such an eventuality, if India again indulge in nuclear arm prolification, then she will invite ban again. This has been imposed in 1974 and it is nearly after 34, that it has been raised now.
