New Delhi - First thoughts about

Dear Friend, Greetings from Green Peace and SANSAD! On 25th June 2013, 4 pm at Jantar Mantar - New Delhi, friends from civil society groups, women groups, organic vendors, farmer groups and political parties are organising a â€œHaath Milao Dharnaâ€ against the BRAI Bill. As you are aware, the BRAI Bill is with the Standing Committee of Science and Technology for recommendations. This dharna is to showcase the common manâ€™s opposition to a dangerous, risking to our health and Environment which is coming in a non-transparent manner and without through research and discussion with the large number of farmers associations. We are in opposition of such Bill and demand from the Government to withdraw the Bill. The BRAI bill is a centralised, technocratic single window clearing system for easy approval of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Your participation along with your friends, colleagues and sympathizers in the event will really help create a ripple impact among the authorities who are in favour of t ...

Britain lobbies for nuclear export group to admit India Britain has stepped up efforts to let India join an influential global body controlling nuclear exports, a move that would boost New Delhi's standing as an atomic power but which has faced resistance from China and other countries. The diplomatic tussle centers on whether emerging power India should be allowed into a key forum deciding rules for civilian nuclear trade, even though it has refused to join an international pact under which it would have to give up its nuclear weapons. London, Washington, Paris and others argue nuclear-armed India should join the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) - established in 1975 to ensure that civilian nuclear exports are not diverted for military purposes. Britain has pressed its case in a paper prepared ahead of the NSG's annual meeting this week, arguing India qualifies because of the size of its civilian atomic industry and its commitment to stopping the spread of military material. Western powers have taken a keen ...

Srinagar, June 13: The Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani Thursday said the denial of opportunity to join peaceful political movement by New Delhi and State Government was forcing the highly qualified youth to join the militant ranks. â€œIf the government of India continues with its repressive and tyrannical policy vis-Ã -vis Kashmir, it will have more terrible and disastrous consequences in future,â€ Geelani said while commenting on the statement of chief minister that the qualified youth have tendency to join militant ranks. â€œThere is no need to go mad about this as it is a simple issue and even the innocent children are familiar with these hard realities,â€ said Geelani in a statement today, adding â€œit is the stubborn approach and the denial of political space that the youth are left with no option other than taking to arms and â€œsacrifice their lives for pious cause.â€ He said the use of brutal force to quell peaceful mass protests in 2008 and 2010 and the secret execution ...

(Scholarship Story) A year after the 2010 summer unrest, New Delhi announced a Special Scholarship Scheme to encourage students from J&K to pursue higher education. Two years later, not only has the payment due to colleges been stopped, but it has also led to the emergence of new power structures which are exploiting the needy students, Suhail A Shah reports. ocated in a cluster of residential houses and offices belonging to several separatist groups in the upscale Rajbagh locality of Srinagar city, the office of Jammu and Kashmir Peace Foundation (JKPF) is a busy place these days. While some people throng the office to seek admission for their wards under the much-hyped Prime Ministerâ€™s Scholarship Scheme, others with their wards already admitted at different colleges across India have come to seek answers about the fate of their children. A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), JKPF is one of the consultancies that have been facilitating admissions in different courses for the students from various par ...

The Editors Guild of India on â€œpaid newsâ€ The Editors Guild of India in its annual general meeting on December 22, 2009 in New Delhi strongly condemned the practice of paid news, which, in its opinion, whittled the foundations of Indian journalism. The Guild called upon all editors in the country to desist from publishing any form of advertisements which masquerade as news. The guild took cognisance of the fact that based on data compiled by media monitoring agency AdEx (a unit of TAM Media Research Private Ltd), which was reported in the Mint on December 2, 2009, that in the assembly elections in Maharashtra in October 2009, the total advertising volume (measured in column centimetres) in Marathi newspapers declined by around one-fifth from the levels in 2004, suggesting the possibility of the increased incidence of advertisements disguised as news. The Guild also deplored the practice of "private treaties" where news organisations accepted free equity in unlisted companies in lieu of promoting these ...

India has taken up web snooping issue with US envoy: SourcesIANS | Posted on Jun 14, 2013 at 04:45am IST New Delhi: Acting on its concern and surprise at the internet data mining by US intelligence agencies, including from India, the Indian government has taken up the issue with the US envoy, government sources said on Thursday.

THE MAN WHO WOULD RULE INDIA ! Like Indira Gandhi once did, Narendra Modi seeks to make his party,his government, his administration and his country into an extension of his personality. A journalist who recently interviewed Narendra Modi reported their conversation as follows: â€œGujarat, he told me, merely has a seafront. It has no raw materials â€” no iron ore for steel, no coal for power and no diamond mines. Yet it has made huge strides in these fields. Imagine, he added, if we had the natural resources of an Assam, a Jharkhand and a West Bengal: I would have changed the face of India.â€(see The Telegraph, January 18, 2013). Tall claims This conversation (and that claim) underlines much of what Narendra Modi has sought to do these past five years â€” remake himself as a man who gets things done, a man who gets the economy moving. With Mr. Modi in power in New Delhi, says or suggests Mr. Modi, India will be placed smoothly on the 8 per cent to 10 per cent growth trajectory, bureaucrats will clear fil ...

Reasons why common man joins Aam Aadmi Party Posted on:12/06/2013 Vansh Saluja, New Delhi : Some call them anarchists, some escapists, some opportunists and some maniacs but in true sense these people are the stupid common men wanting to clean their homes- as the famous line from the movie â€˜A Wednesdayâ€™ goes. Led by their leader, a frail man wearing a loose checked shirt, the Aam Aadmi Party definitely has something to offer to the disenchanted voters. The volunteers always form the back-bone of an organization, be it a political party or an NGO. And this party has them in plenty. Ranging from vegetable vendors to Chartered Accountants, the party flaunts a strong volunteer force within less than year of its formation. Who are these volunteers? Who coaxed them to join a political party? The answer lies on the topis they wear. They are the aam aadmi, people who had never imagined in their life that they would be working for a party, not for political power but to bring about a systematic change. â€œI wa ...

New Delhi: Millions of children across the world are engaged in child labour which deprives them of basic education, good health, and their basic rights. Many of them are victims of child trafficking and exposed to hazardous working environments

Publication: Mumbai Mirror ; Date: Jun 17, 2010; Section: City; Page: 8 Want to fight for your open space? Read THIS Mumbai Mirror tells you how to protect your neighbourhood from unscrupulous land grabbers Citizens of Chembur took on the land mafia and the underworld to reclaim a playground that was rightfully theirs. On Wednesday, we carried a front page report of this brave campaign to show Mumbaikars it is possible for ordinary citizens to check land sharks. If they could do it, so can you. Mumbai's greed for land has overwhelmed all good sense. According to global norms, for every 1,000 people, there should be an open space of 4 acres. However, Mumbai's open spaceto-people ratio is among the lowest in the world. Surveys show that we have a mere 0.03 acres for every 1,000 people, and shrinking. This is abysmally low compared to cities like New Delhi (4.4 acres), New York (5.3 acres) and London (4.84). We give up our rights too quickly because we think we're alone or too small to stand up to powerfu .. ...

BJP-JD(U) rift widens over Modi as Nitish prepares to break alliance Bhupendra Chaubey, Prabhakar Kumar, , CNN-IBN | Updated Jun 12, 2013 at 09:46pm IST New Delhi: The coronation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) poll panel chief for the upcoming general elections is now leading to a certain exit from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) of Nitish Kumar. An all out war on Modi was launched by the Janata Dal United on Wednesday. "If BJP chooses a man who was involved in the 2002 (Gujarat) riots and wants to make him a leader, it will not be accepted by us," said JD(U) leader Narendra Singh. For the past one year, Nitish Kumar has dropped enough hints that he would never be able to tie up with the BJP if Modi was party's Prime Ministerial candidate. A few weeks back, Nitish Kumar had even set a deadline of December for the BJP to make up its mind. But post the BJP National Executive meet in Goa, it seems like he has made up his mind of snapping ties with his 17- ...

Rape of women in India scares tourists away A recent series of well-publicized attacks on women in India followed by the international outcry has scared away tourists. â€œIndiaâ€™s image is spoiled when incidents like this happen,â€ said Dheeraj Dixit, who used to make $2 a day taking photographs of tourists at the Gateway of India. Visits to India by female tourists dropped 35 percent in the first three months of this year compared with the same period last year, according to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India. That three-month period came after the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi in December, which brought protesters to the streets and shined a spotlight on the harassment and intimidation women face every day in India. Although the per capita rate of rapes reported to the police in India is below that of many developed nations, some experts believe that many sexual attacks go unreported and that the actual number is far higher. The public outrage over the De ...

Cabinet to take up ordinance on Food Bill today New Delhi: The Union Cabinet will on Wednesday promulgate an ordinance to push through the Food Security Bill, which is the brainchild of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. The constant disruptions by the Opposition in Parliament had resulted in a delay in passing the Food Security Bill so far. The governmentâ€™s decision to promulgate an ordinance will make the Food Security Bill a law without taking prior approval from Parliament, something that the Opposition is strongly objecting to. "A bill that's so important to national life is being passed through an ordinance. It's shameful and can't be a worse advertisement of parliamentary system," said CPM's Nilotpal Basu. Sushma Swaraj, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, too had said that the BJP wants the bill and does not mind a special session of Parliament to get it passed, but they strongly oppose an ordinance. The government's calculation, however, seems different. Once an ordinance is passed, the Govern ...

FB 317: Disclose letters of complaints against judges - CIC, New Delhi: In a move which may make public the names of judges against whom complaints have been received by the Law Ministry, the CIC has directed the ministry to disclose the forwarding letters attached with such complaints referred to the Supreme Court and the High Courts by it. The Ministry had earlier claimed that it cannot provide copy of complaints because these complaints are forwarded to Chief Justice of India and Chief Justices of High Courts in respective cases. It had also said that the ministry officials do not keep a record of these complaints.

Ramlila Maidan also Ramlila Ground is a large ground located in front of the historic Red Fort, New Delhi, India, traditionally used for staging the annual Ramlila.[1] It is used for religious festivals, major political rallies and meetings, and entertainment events. It is located near New Delhi Railway Station and Delhi Gate. The Ramilila Maidan was originally a large pond before 1930. It was filled up in the early 1930s so that annual Ramlila could be shifted here from the flood plains behind Red Fort. It quickly became a popular site for political meetings, with Gandhiji, Nehru, Sardar Patel and other top nationalist leaders addressing rallies here. A small pond is still there inside the Ramlila ground as a remembrance of its history. Jayaprakash Narayan along with prominent Opposition leaders, addressed a mammoth rally with over a lakh people participating on June 25, 1975. This was the first protest in Ramlila Maidan, which was against Indira Gandhi's government. This was Jayaprakash Narayan last ral ...

Metro heritage line to exhibit murals New Delhi: If history is your passion, travelling on Delhi Metroâ€™s upcomingheritage line could be well worth the effort. Besides connecting several historical monuments, the stations on the line â€” Central Secretariat to Kashmere Gate â€”will also exhibit large murals, narratives and artwork of the neighbouring monuments that the line passes through. To begin with, Janpath Metro station will have murals and artwork inspired by Agrasen ki Baoli and Jantar Mantar. â€œDelhi is an ancient city, with reminders of its glorious heritage in the form of monuments and ruins all around. These places are often forgotten and lost in the rapid urbanization. Since the Janpath Metro station lies in the vicinity of the monuments like Jantar Mantar and Agrasen ki Baoli, we wanted to have a collage of various aspects of the structures in a colourful and graphical format,â€ said a senior Delhi Metro officer. According to Delhi Metro officials, the murals and other artwork will be dis ...

I remember the days when we played cricket together, the â€œBaadshah of Bollywoodâ€ (King of Bollywood), Shah Rukh Khan and I. We were schoolmates. He was the wicket keeper and I the opening batsmen for our junior school cricket team at St. Columbaâ€™s School, New Delhi. One thing is for sure, SRK was more dynamic and charming behind the wicket than I was. I played the â€˜slow & steady, old style knocksâ€™ that kept one end of the wicket fortified. That was the call of the day. Dynamic, â€˜fling around the bat in any style cricketâ€™ culminating in todayâ€™s T20 format was unthinkable back then. Our coaches, Gurcharan Singh (an ex Ranji Trophy coach) and Br. Eric Steven Dâ€™Souza (a Vice Principal at our school and cricket coach, also SRKâ€™s mentor since then) would have disapproved of the awkward and effective batting techniques as used today by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But, regardless of what I think today, two dear friends of mine always claimed and continue to claim that my style was more like that o . ...

KOCHI: A Navy officer, accused of sexually abusing his wife along with his colleagues in the Southern Naval Command (SNC) here, would be arrested on his return from New Delhi, the city police said on Tuesday. The announcement was made a day after the high court had criticized the police's laxity in probing the case filed by the wife of Lieutenant Ravi Kiran Kabduala. Assistant commissioner of police in Mattancherry M Binoy confirmed that the naval officer would be arrested. The officer has gone to Delhi to depose before a board of inquiry the Navy constituted to probe allegations his wife had leveled against him and other officers. While considering Lt Kabduala's anticipatory bail petition, justice B Kemal Pasha had on Monday criticized the police for not conducting a fair investigation into the complaint. The court also dismissed the plea. In the complaint lodged with the Harbour Police on April 4 this year, the woman alleged that her husband and his senior officers had sexually abused her.

L K Advani: Organiser to primary member Pradeep Kaushal Posted online: Tue Jun 11 2013, 03:14 hrs New Delhi : He charted the BJPâ€™s growth from bit player to ruling party. Along the way, he also sought a makeover in image from hardliner to moderate As the RSS mentored the growth and expansion of the Jana Sangh, two people stood out for their fluency in English: Lal Krishna Advani and K R Malkani. The Sangh nurtured both. Malkani, who wrote well, ended up being the editor of the party newspaper, The Motherland. Advani, erudite, articulate and gifted with extraordinary organisational skills, became president of the party. Related: Enter Narendra Modi, exit L K Advani Using those skills, Advani gradually acquired a complete RSS mandate to run and control first the Jana Sangh, and later its more liberal reincarnation, the BJP. It was a task he accomplished with a remarkable sense of ability. He built the organisation, took it to the farthest ends of the country, gave it a distinct ideological profile and fir ...

JAIPUR: In an apparent goof-up, a 40-year-old man from Dausa district received an admit card for a public examination that carried his correct name and address, but with the photo of US president Barack Obama. The letter was apparently sent to Lalu Ram Meena by Staff Selection Commission in New Delhi requiring him to appear in the examination for the post of junior engineer. What left Lalu Ram Meena shocked was the fact that he was neither eligible to appear in the exam, nor had he applied for it. Despite that he received by post this admission card duly signed by SSC's regional director whose office is located in Delhi. SSC recruits people for junior posts for the Union government's various ministries and departments. "I don't know if Barack Obama has applied for this job. What I am sure about is that I am not eligible to apply for the post of a junior engineer," said Meena who runs a private school in Rambas village, some 200 kilometres from Dausa.

KARNATAKA HAS A LESSON FOR BJP AS WELL AS CONGRESS Posted: 11 May 2013 09:57 PM PDT I feel sorry that we have lost in Karnataka. But I am not surprised. The surprise would have been if we had won. As it is, I think the Karnataka results have a profound lesson for the BJP. In a way it has a lesson also for the Congress. The common lesson for both of us is : letâ€™s not take the common man for granted. He himself may occasionally deviate from the norms of ethical conduct, but he does feel extremely angry when he sees those at the helm of national affairs behaving immorally. This is the principal reason why there is such intense allergy towards politicians generally nowadays. If corruption provokes indignation in Bangalore, why would it not cause the same feeling in New Delhi? Actually, I hold that it is the Karnataka results that have contributed to clinching action being taken even in the matter of Coalgate and Railgate! Before Karnataka results, the Congress Party seemed determined not to do anything abou ...

New Delhi: Bearing out the version of Gujarat Police, American-born Lashker-e-Toiba terrorist David Headley has claimed before NIA sleuths that Ishrat Jahan, a Mumbai girl killed in a police encounter in Ahmedabad, was a suicide bomber of the outfit. Official sources said that Headley shared this information with the four-member team comprising officials from National Investigation Agency and Law Department during their visit to Chicago in the US. The girl, whose death had sparked a major controversy, was alleged to be a member of Lashker's suicide squad who had been inducted by top LeT operative Muzamil. Headley's information corroborates the stand of Gujarat Police and the Centre. The encounter had run into controversy after Jahan's family claimed that she was just a student and filed an appeal in the court. Gujarat Police had claimed that the terrorists were in the state to attack Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Sources said Headley's reconnaissance missions for Lashkar in India started in 2006. Jahan wa ...

A meeting inside jail with Afzal Guru Date: 18 Feb 2013 A meeting inside jail with Afzal Guru New Delhi based Journalist Vinod K. Jose meets Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru inside the high security Tihar Jail in New Delhi. Read excerpts from this rare interview with Afzal. New Delhi, Feb 19, 2006 (Kashmir Newz Specials): A rusted table, and behind it stood a well built man in uniform holding a spoon in his hand. Visitors, all of them looked habituated, queued up to open their plastic bags containing food, allowing it to be smelt, sometimes even tasted. The security manâ€™s spoon paved its way through the thick grease floating curriesâ€” Malai Kofta, Shahi Paneer, Aalu Bengan, and Mixed Vegetables. As the visitors opened tiny bags of curries the spoon separated each piece of vegetable from the other, quite mechanically. 'Frisking' the food of a middle aged woman the spoon took a dip at the water in the steel bowl nearby. It then moved to the plastic bags of the next in the queue, an early teenage boy. ...

Why JDU think Advani is better then Modi we wonder !!! N DECEMBER 5, 1992, I was in Lucknow covering LK Advaniâ€™s rally. All BJP leaders had been doing a yatra across UP, and India Today had asked me to follow him. That night, after the speeches subsided, all the journalists dispersed. Something told me to stay. I followed Advani after the rally and landed up at Kalyan Singhâ€™s house. I was the only photographer there. They let me in. All the top BJP leaders â€” Atal Behari Vajpayee, Murli Manohar Joshi â€” were present, meeting inside a room. I could sense the tension in the air. Men of another god Karsewaks demolish the domes of the Babri Masjid in 1992 Photo: Prashant Panjiar/India Today When Advani stepped out at midnight, I casually asked what time heâ€™d leave for Ayodhya the next day. â€œRight now,â€ he replied. Suddenly Vajpayee emerged, headed for New Delhi. Something wasnâ€™t as they had expected. I called my reporter colleague and we rushed out too. In Ayodhya, we traced Advani at Mahant Par ...

Ll Cong blames NC for refugeesâ€™ plight NC says allegation shows partyâ€™s ignorance of fact Jammu, June 11 After remaining in power for nine years in New Delhi, the Congress, in the run-up to the next parliamentary elections, has put the onus of â€œunending miseriesâ€ of refugees, particularly those from West Pakistan, on the State Government headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The party accused it of being â€œleast bothered about the problems of refugeesâ€.

Good Read: Brahma Chellaney's column "World View", p. A15 in last Sunday's PDI (9 June 2013).."China's Stealth Wars"...(the author, Chellaney, is professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi). Could it be that today's China still adhere's to the military strategies of the Zhou Dynasty's Sun Tzu? "Subdue the enemy without battle.." by exploiting weaknesses and camouflaging offense as defense.."All warfare is based on deception." A famous claim attributed to Sun Tzu. The above words seem appropriate in the wake of problems in the West Philippine Sea with China's claim to a number of territories which should rightfully belong to the Philippines if we were to adhere to the International

The India Gate is the national monument of India[citation needed]. Situated in the heart of New Delhi, it was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Built in 1931, the monument was inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which in turn was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. Originally known as the All India War Memorial, it is a prominent landmark in Delhi and commemorates the 90,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who lost their lives in World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. It is composed of red and pale sandstone and granite. Originally, a statue of George V, Emperor of India stood under the now vacant canopy in front of the India Gate, but it was removed to Coronation Park together with a number of other British Raj-era statues. Following India's independence, the India Gate became the site of the Indian Army's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, known as Amar Jawan Jyoti ("the flame of the immortal soldier"). Until the 1920s, the Old Delhi Railway Station served the entire city, and the Agraâ€“Delhi ra ...

Addressing a mammoth rally against corruption organized by Ramdevâ€™s supporters in New Delhi on February 27, 2011, Ramdev had openly attacked the Congress for encouraging corruption in India.

Kyaw Than 5:06 PM (17 hours ago) to bcc: me China details Indian Ocean strategy and interests Ananth Krishnan KUNMING, June 9, 2013 â€˜Blue bookâ€™ laments Beijing has trailed behind New Delhi and Washington in securing its interests China has, for the first time, attempted to spell out its strategy â€” and plans â€” to secure its interests in the Indian Ocean in its first â€œblue bookâ€ on the region, released here on Saturday. The blue book makes a case for China to deepen its economic engagements with the Indian Ocean Regionâ€™s (IOR) littoral states, but stresses that Beijingâ€™s interests will be driven by commercial â€” rather than military â€” objectives. However, it warns that the Indian Ocean could end up â€œas an ocean of conflict and troubleâ€ if countries like India, the U.S. and China failed to engage with each other more constructively as their interests begin to overlap. In a frank assessment of Chinaâ€™s role in the IOR so far, the book laments that Beijing has trailed behind New Delhi a ...

J&K AN INTEGRAL PART OF INDIA NO DIALOGUE WITH PAKISTAN ON KASHMIR PLEBISCITE NEHRU'S PERSONAL IDEA NOT INDIA'S PROMISE WE ARE READY TO WAGE WAR AGAINST PAK. TO LIBERATE PoK Dr. Subramanian Swamy in Kashmir For the first time after Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee was killed in a Kashmir jail during Sheikh Abdullah's reign an Indian stalwart confronted the nation particularly the people of Kashmir last week in a straight talk with the reality of the Kashmir situation.

Murder trial of Italian marines in India navigates murky waters * Two marines await trial in New Delhi, charged with killing two Indian fishermen in Feb 2012 * Marines were on Italian-flagged tanker, say they mistook fishermen for pirates * Some commercial ships use military personnel as protection * Differing accounts of what warnings were given to fishing boat * Case tests whether military personnel have sovereign immunity on such vessels The thud of bullets smacking into his wooden fishing boat jolted captain John Freddy out of his afternoon nap. He saw one of his crew slumped dead over the helm and then, seconds later, another shot in the chest. The man cried out for his mother before falling dead on the deck, Freddy would later tell Indian police. Indian prosecutors allege the two Indian fishermen were shot by two Italian marines serving as security guards on an Italian-flagged oil tanker, the Enrica Lexie, about 20 nautical miles off the southern Indian state of Kerala in February last year. The mar ...

Bakshi and Sadiq had duped the Sheikh with a ruse of which New Delhi and Karan Singh were doubtless aware. They pretended to be part of the policy review. What nettled Nehru was that his strategy was unravelling. The Sheikh had begun to bow to Kashmiri opinion, not to Nehru. Even at the best of times he had made known his reservations on accession and asserted his independence. He said at Hazratbal on April 25, 1952: "It would be better to die than to submit to the taunt that India was our breadgiver." He explained to Nehru on May 2 that he had sought to counteract the propaganda that "we were being kept in the saddle with the help of the Indian bayonets" (SWJN; Volume 18; pages 387 and 390). None of his successors could use such language. He drew his power from the people; they, from New Delhi. He had his hand on the pulse of the people; they on their masters' pulse. Sheikh Abdullah was battling against the tide of public opinion since the accession. Hence, the proposal he gave to the British Commonwealt ...

Farmer's daughter disarms terrorist and shoots him dead with AK47 An Indian farmerâ€™s daughter disarmed a terrorist leader who broke into her home, attacked him with an axe and shot him dead with his own gun. By Dean Nelson in New Delhi( 29 Sep 2009 ) Rukhsana Kausar, 21, was with her parents and brother in Jammu and Kashmir when three gunmen, believed to be Pakistani militants, forced their way in and demanded food and beds for the night. Their house in Shahdra Sharief, Rajouri district, is about 20 miles from the ceasefire line between Indian and Pakistani forces. It is close to dense forests known as hiding places for fighters from the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, which carried out the Mumbai terrorist attack last November. Militants often demand food and lodging in nearby villages. When they forced their way into Miss Kausarâ€™s home, her father Noor Mohammad refused their demands and was attacked. His daughter was hiding under a bed when she heard him crying as the gunmen thrashed him with sticks. Accordi ...

09th June 2013- The Saina Nehwal effect: shuttlecock storm Indian badminton is a flicked forehand away from being a global power. But the last step is also the hardest Kaustubh Rawat leaps like heâ€™s got giant springs for feet, his arms reaching up and out as he hits the incoming shuttle with a whipped thwack that sends it stinging back across the net. Rawat lands lightly on his feet inside the training court in the sleek, spacious Siri Fort Badminton Stadium in New Delhi. A legacy of the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG), the stadium is now the regular venue for Indiaâ€™s top international competition, the Yonex-Sunrise India Open Super Series. The competition courts are open to the public for an hourly fee when tournaments are not on, and the more compact set-up of warm-up courts is used through the year by the MV Bisht Badminton Academy.

Was at Hotel Saravana Bhavan at Connaught Place, New Delhi recently for a Madras Thali. Irony was all the staff were from the southern districts of Tamil Nadu.Back in Chennai, a good number of their staff are from Bihar and North East. Isnt the same cheap labour from Bihar available for Saravana Bhavan in Delhi? Ironically, gave orders to the waiter in Tamil in Delhi while usually it is Hindi in Chennai :) Still trying to understand the myth of migration in India!

Be it New Delhi or West Bengal, the role of media remains all the same in their effort to hide the true picture from its audience. Remember the Nirbhaya case in New Delhi where the identity of the most brutal rapist, Md. Afroz Raju, was deliberately suppressed by the media and only the Hindu names like Ram Singh etc were publicized. Now, the media is playing the same hiding game reporting Rajarhat rape case. The names of Ansar Ali, Enamul and Rezzaq are not being aired at all. Funny, media is being termed as the fourth piller of democracy.

Recently a rape case occurred in New Delhi which created a furor in the entire country. Ms. Sonia Gandhi, Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde showed their concerned. A special commission was constituted and a bill was passed to punish the culprits in such cases. The Print and Electronic Media highlighted this issue to such an extent that India was considered as an insecure place for the lady tourist. Four months after this incident a similar rape case occurred in Nalgonda District.

Meeting Narendra Modi was like meeting multiple personalities at one time. I have always perceived Modi as a man of steel having gone through fire. The constant picking and media barbs have not left him embittered. This could be attributed to his strong and courageous personality and being centred in spirituality. Modi is the only CEO Chief Minister so-to-say who has corporatised political administration in his well groomed and well kept state! As I proceeded to Modi's residence for a chat, en route, the typical attributes associated with a politician were all missing. No hangers-on, no party flags or king size cut ...

You will love reading this one...posted on a medical forum this morning. Saving The Planet, One Drop At A Time An inspiring true story that shows just how simple it can be for one person with an idea to make a difference. Aabid Surti is an odd character. A few years ago, the angular, bearded author was invited to meet the President of India to receive a national award for literature at a ceremony in the capital, New Delhi. He politely declined. Absorbed in writing the first draft of his new novel, he cited the reason that he did not have time. But what he has made time for every Sunday for seven years now, is going door-to-door in Mira Road, a non-descript suburb of Mumbai, with a plumber in tow, asking residents if they need their tap fixed for free! As a distinguished Indian painter and author, Aabid has written around 80 books but no story so moved him as the truth about water scarcity on the planet. â€œI read an interview of the former UN chief Boutros Boutros Ghali,â€ he recalls, â€œwho said that by ...

Why vote for TDP 2014.Babu will be CM.? JAN 9th 1999: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has been voted as the `IT Indian of the Millennium' in a poll conducted by India Today group and 20:20 Media. Of the 11,016 voters who participated in the poll, 6396 gave their first preference votes to Naidu, who is also the only politician to figure in the list, an India Today release said in New Delhi.

The state's youngest assembly member and youngest minister at 28 Naidu managed to coax other global IT giants IBM, Dell, Deloitte, Computer Associates and Oracle to set up shop in Hyderabad, at a time when India hardly featured on global IT majors' radar. Naidu made impressive presentations before global CEOs and convinced them to invest in his state.

Delhi acid attack victim dies in Mumbai Jun 1, 2013 MUMBAI: A nurse from Delhi who was attacked with acid here May 2 died Saturday, her family said. Preeti Rathi died in a private hospital. "Doctors removed the ventilator and other medical aids, which kept her alive, around 4pm," Amar Singh Rathi, the victim's father, told IANS. Acid was flung on Preeti, 25, by some unknown people as she got off the New Delhi-Mumbai Garib Rath Express at Bandra Terminus May 2 morning to begin work as a nurse at the army hospital here. She was on a ventilator for the past two weeks as her right lung had collapsed and the left one was only partly functional. According to doctors attending to Rathi, her survival chances were as slim as five percent, given the extent of internal injuries, damage to vital organs and bleeding following the attack. Acid had entered her oesophagus, windpipe and trachea. She was initially treated for burns and other complications at the Masina Hospital in Byculla and then shifted to Bombay Hospita ...

Mech life Its time to say Good Bye to IITD after this two years of crazy ride of matkagiri. I have no words to express my joy and sorrow both. Joy for being passed as a graduate and sorrow for leaving this magical world of fantasy. I have seen many ups and downs during these two years even though I will call them my best years spent because I learned a number of things apart from a lot of enjoyment. Whenever i will remember my college days apart from friends I will always cherish my supervisors who were always my source of inspiration. I hated this city Delhi when i came here at first but it was IIT which rejuvenated me always whenever i entered into its premises. I will miss all of my friends, the masti nd fun i had with them at birthdays, outings, nite outs at labs and outside. It becomes uneasy for me to take partings like this one. At last a line for all of my friends that i made here : I wont feel bad because its over, I would rather smile because it happened and I enjoyed. Always be connected and pl ...

TV STAR BARUN SOBTIÂ Â Â Life After His Hit Soap 'I DON'T FEEL LIKE A STAR' Six months after his show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon was abruptly pulled off air, the shy and unassuming star addresses the frenzy around his exitÂ Â Â Â Â BY DHAVAL ROY Days after quitting the hugely popular show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon in November last year, actor Barun Sobti was enjoying some alone time with his wife Pashmeen in London, blissfully unaware of the hysteria he had caused back home. Daunted by Barun's angry female fans, the show's producer had abruptly pulled the plug on the soap, putting the entire cast and crew out of a job without much warning. There were reports of women threatening to ransack the sets of the show and committing suicide. "I was shocked and upset. People warned me about this kind of reaction but I told them that the show's story was its biggest hero. I thought it would go on without me," says the 29-year-old. While most actors thrive on adulation, Barun is distinctly uncomfortable with it. ...

happened quite a few years ago when I was unmarried and living in New Delhi. Metro services were new then and female coaches were not introduced yet. Hence, we all had to travel in regular coaches. It was a weekend and I was travelling alone somewhere. While I was in the metro standing (since it was full jam-packed), this guy boarded the train, came and stood next to me. As the train left the station, I realized that he was staring at me continuously. I tried to ignore, look here and there, but couldnâ€™t ignore that he was continuously staring at me. It felt quite uncomfortable, but I thought of letting it go. Then my station came, and I de-boarded the train at Rajiv Chowk, he was still in the train. I started climbing the staircases (my coach stopped right in front of the stairs), and when I looked back, he winked at me and blew a flying kiss! I was anyways so furious by then, I marched down the stairs back to the train and went back to him and yelled - 'You want to kiss me, winking at me? Come down of ...

Indian-American venture capitalist Vinod Khosla hosts dinner for Obama. It's not every day that the US President drops by for dinner at the home of an ordinary resident, much less an Indian-American entrepreneur, but Vinod Khosla is no regular Joe. The famed Silicon Valley venture capitalist, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and initiator of many green enterprises, hosted President Obama at his Portola Valley home on Thursday night amid a political firestorm in Washington over US government surveillance of private citizens. The intimate dinner with New Delhi-born Khosla, his wife Neeru, and selected guests that included three key US Senators, was part of Obama's fundraising for Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. It cost the exclusive attendees a small matter of $32,400 per head. Earlier in the evening, the President stopped by at the Palo Alto home of Flipboard CEO Mike McCue, where entry was a more modest $2500 per head. Khosla, a green guru, now a well-known figure in Washington DC circles, is obvi ...

PANAJI: The Union home ministry is turning Goa into a dumping ground for IPS officers who are found to be discards from Delhi Police, chief minister Manohar Parrikar complained to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the recent Chief Ministers' conclave on Internal Security in New Delhi. Although Parrikar did not attend the Chief Ministers' meet due to his pre-occupation with the BJP National Executive in Goa, his speech was considered as read in Delhi. Like all BJP states, Parrikar opposed the Centre's proposal for the national counter terrorism centre (NCTC) justifying that it was an interference into the state's autonomy. Sources told TOI that Parrikar complained that the IPS officers who do come to Goa are inclined to be on leave or on tour to Delhi. Parrikar rhetorically questioned the Prime Minister how, with this kind of IPS leadership, Goa can even maintain law and order, leave alone combat terrorism.

India-Japan Ties Poised for Advance as Both Nations Eye China Rajeev Sharma India and Japan are poised for a rapid advance in their bilateral relations with rich economic and strategic overtones. Straws in the wind suggest that India-Japan ties could reach a historic high by the yearâ€™s end, well before Tokyo and New Delhi celebrate 60 years of their diplomatic relations. Though Japan and India have been in touch with each other for the last 1500 years, modern diplomatic relations were established on April 28, 1952. The two countries are engaged in deepening of bilateral ties in such diverse areas as defense, business, high technology trade, science and technology and culture and the process has gained momentum over the last decade. However, the two powers will be crossing the Rubicon if and when they sign the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement they are currently negotiating.

Book review: 'A Piece of the Giant' : The book, 'A Piece of the Giant', is an honest and in-depth inquiry into the functioning of India's democracy. The main thesis of the book is that democracies per se are not all good but need to strive to get better. According to the author of the book Anupam Srivastava though India is a democracy but power is wielded by a few and it does not ensure that the power lies in the hands of the people. The book based on the insights from the writings of Mahatma Gandhi and other nationalists, but written as fiction, has analyzed the intent and the actuality of democratic set up in India. The author has successfully proved that Indian leaders have hidden agenda of abandoning the democratic ideal and wield power for personal gains. At a book release event in New Delhi, it was claimed to be an eloquently written novel that vividly examines the scenario in India during the time of the colonial rule and immediately after its collapse. Mr. Srivastava, who has worked as a journalis ...

Saturday, September 19, 2009 North to Ladakh, on a High-Altitude Adventure By John F. Burns Published: Sunday, February 28, 1999 When my family and I planned an overland journey to Ladakh last summer, it seemed like the ideal conclusion to our assignment in India, where I had spent nearly five years as the South Asia correspondent of The New York Times. Our aim was to round out our travels with a trip so ambitious and compelling that it would ease the wrench of leaving a country that had entwined our hearts. The plan was to make a two-week, 2,500-mile round-trip road journey northward from New Delhi -- first, across the north Indian plain to the foothills of the Himalayas, then up the deep valleys and over the mountains to Ladakh, a part of ancient Tibet that became a northern outpost of India when it was annexed by Britain in the mid-19th century. Along the way, we would cross several of the world's highest-altitude road passes, one of them at nearly 18,000 feet, close to the height of the base camp used ...

Crime Against Women in India Over 32000 murders, 19,000 rapes, 7500 dowry deaths and 36500 molestation cases are the violent crimes reported in India in 2006 against women. There are many instances of crime especially against women go unreported in India. These are figures released by the National Crime Records Bureau recently. While Madhya Pradesh is worst off among the states, the national capital New Delhi continues to hold on to its reputation of being the most unsafe city in India. Delhi takes the top slot for crimes ranging from murders and rapes to dowry deaths and abductions. It reflects country's law and order situation when its capital is a cauldron of crime. Instead of leading the way in tackling crime, Delhi only seems to do worse year after year. For instance while the national crime rate declined negligibly by .02 % in 2006; Delhi's rate grew to 357.2more than double the national average of 167.7. Rape is the fastest growing crime in the country today and as many as 18 women are assaulted in ...

Indonesia's beautiful gesture Indonesian Embassy erects Saraswati Vigraha near White House in US - If Indian embassy did any thing of the sort, India will lose half of the seculars to heart attack.

One of them who walked out was named Bharati who was then the education minister of Andhra Pradesh. Shameful indeed such a tribe who cannot honour their own ancestral cultural heritage.

Yet no Congressman (representative in US Congress, not of SoniaG's) has ever walked out when prayers were recited in the House by Hindu priest.

Pakistan rejects Indian allegations on exporting terrorism ISLAMABAD, Jun 6 (APP): Pakistan on Thursday firmly rejected the Indian allegations that its intelligence agency was exporting terrorism to India. Foreign Office spokesperson Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry in his weekly press briefing here, strongly refuted the allegations of Indian Home Minister against the Pakistani agency, terming his statement uncalled for and counter-productive. This can undermine efforts aimed at normalizing the relations between the two countries, he added. The spokesman said that Pakistan itself was the victim of terrorism and had rendered matchless sacrifices in the war against terror. He called upon New Delhi to share the evidence before hurling any accusations. Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said the timing of the statement was not good as the new leadership in Pakistan had expressed its desire to normalize relations with the neighbouring country. It is time to focus on building relations and resolving all the outstanding disputes, includi ...

At the moment she acknowledges that she hasnâ€™t been in touch with her famous cousin that often, nevertheless it doesnâ€™t warrant any cause for concern or conspiracy theories. She says, â€œI admire what Priyanka has done coming from a non-film family. I am really proud of her. She has worked really hard for it.â€ As Meerraâ€™s folks are based in New Delhi and considering that she is busy shooting for her film, she has hardly been spending time even with her own folks. â€œI will have to keep shuttling between Mumbai and Delhi for that,â€ she says. â€ ...

Rhiti-run Dhoni charity too could be in 'conflict zone' By HT Correspondent | Hindustan Times â€“ 17 hours ago New Delhi, June 6 -- Amid a raging controversy over MS Dhoni's business interests in player management firm, Rhiti Sports Management Private Ltd (RSMPL), it has now emerged that the India cricket captain's involvement could be much more than of just a former one-time shareholder of the company. RSMPL, which manages Dhoni and is owned by close friend Arun Pandey, also runs MS Dhoni Charitable Foundation which, in the company's own words, is "the concrete form of Dhoni's vision to bring resources at the threshold of thousands of young players all over the country".

SAIL 1959-1973 SAIL traces its origin to the Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) which was set up on January 19, 1954. HSL was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July 1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959. A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited (Bokaro Steel Plant), was incorporated in January 1964 to construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up from 1.58 MT (1959â€“60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel Plant w ...

Tea Or Coffee: Which Is Indiaâ€™s National Drink? India has long been associated with tea drinking, but now coffee manufacturers are aggressively asserting their own position in the subcontinentâ€™s beverage marketplace. According to the Hindustan Times newspaper, Indiaâ€™s tea and coffee manufacturers have staged a bitter rivalry over which liquid is the national drink â€“ but in an effort not to hurt the business of either industry, the governmentâ€™s ministry of commerce has stayed out of this battle, refusing to promote one over the other. Indiaâ€™s tea industry, which is based in the rolling hills of Assam and West Bengal in the east, has asked the government in New Delhi to officially recognize tea as the national drink, with the support of the minister for development of the northeastern region, Paban Singh Ghatowar. But Anand Sharma, the commerce minister, told Ghatowar: "[since tea and coffee are] competing beverages having [their] respective market shares, declaration of one as a national drink ...

PRIDE OR SHAME Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde today painted a very grim picture of the India's troubled neighbourhood, saying that Pakistan was fanning Sikh terrorism, training Jihadis in the camps established on its soil, pushing in terrorists via neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Nepal besides carving out tunnels to pump into this side highly sophisticated fake currency notes to destabilise economy. Aware of all these machinations, is it a matter of pride or shame for New Delhi to walk extra miles in order to forge friendship with a country that has grabbed every opportunity to inflict scars on India's body and psyche?

Real estate bill leaves developers unhappy TOI 6th June 2013 New Delhi: Developers and builders have raised concern about some of the provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill and said stringent rules such as launching projects only after getting all statutory clearances would delay projects and push up costs. They said the government should include provisions to ensure that relevant authorities accord all approvals within a specified time frame. Detailing the impact of the bill on the real estate sector, executive MD of Cushman and Wakefield Sanjay Dutt said in the short-to-medium term, there could be a slowdown in new project launches as getting permissions is a time consuming process. He said the government will have to follow up with much-needed administrative reforms to speed up the approval process. â€œThe Bill may create an upward pressure on prices as there will also be some cost implications as developers wait to launch their projects with due approvals in place,â€ he added ...

Air India pilots ignore alert, grounded Tuesday, June 04, 2013 New Delhi: Air India has grounded two of its pilots for reportedly endangering the lives of passengers by not switching off an engine that was giving the warning of running low on oil. While standard operating procedure in such a situation is to switch off such a engine within seconds to avoid the possibility of it catching fire and leading to a disaster, the pilots of AI 452 kept the low oil pressure engine of the Airbus A-321 flying from Vizag to Delhi on May 26 running for almost 11 minutes. The passengers got lucky with the pilots finally â€” after a long delay â€” remembered to switch off the engine and diverting the aircraft to the nearest airport, Nagpur, on the single functional engine. However, the engine was not that lucky. While switching it off instantly after getting the low oil warning would have meant AI get away with minor repairs, the delay has led to it being a complete waste and requiring a replacement â€” something that wi ...

New Delhi, May 23 (IANS) As many as 56,700 Indians face deportation from Saudi Arabia in the next one-and-half months and ten officials have been despatched to the kingdom to help the Indian mission prepare emergency certificates for their exit, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said Thursday. "As of now, 56,700 Indians have registered with the Indian mission for getting exit permits as they have no valid passports or other travel documents," Khurshid told a group of Urdu editors here.

Khurshid said the 10 officials sent to the kingdom will help the mission to prepare no objection certificates for the Indian workers, adding it is a "cumbersome procedure as we are required to get details of the wor ...

'We had become buffoons with Lalu. If you were a Bihari you were seen as a buffoon -- that has changed. Now there's a pride in being a Bihari.' 'We took a U-turn under Nitish Kumar' Seven years after Nitish Kumar became chief minister, the image of the state may have been boosted; but the quest for Bihari pride will remain unfulfilled until chronic failings like illiteracy and malnutrition are adressed, notes Archana Masih in the concluding part of her reportage on the changes in Bihar. Lalu Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi's 15-year stewardship of Bihar prior to 2005 is widely considered as the time when development hit rock-bottom and crimes went sky-high. It is a period which has not been forgotten and many feel that fear of Lalu Yadav's return remains Nitish Kumar's biggest political capital. At his recent rally in New Delhi, Lalu Yadav -- who lives next door to Nitish Kumar in Patna -- attacked the chief minister for corruption, declining law and order, and called him a dictator. When one speaks to peop ...

FAKING NEWS Manmohan Singh turns to Google Maps to find directions for Indian economy New Delhi. Taking an â€œout of the boxâ€ approach to the problem of GDP growth rate dipping below 5%, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh today took out his Android phone and launched Google Maps to look for â€œdirectionsâ€. â€œDetermined to make India an economic superpower, Prime Minister searched for â€˜Economic Prosperityâ€™ on Google Maps and then clicked â€˜Directionsâ€™ to reach there,â€ a PMO source confirmed. The exact location of â€œEconomic Prosperityâ€ couldnâ€™t be known as the â€œDirectionsâ€ never loaded on the Micromax mobile phone (the handset that was approved by the high command) of the Prime Minister.

Taking it forward June 03, 2013 Sahara Time/ Dr. Sridhar Krishnaswami THERE IS simply no two ways of looking at the Indian Prime Minister's recent visit to Japan â€“ New Delhi and Tokyo have indeed taken bilateral relations to a higher level and in the process making the point that the two nations and the international community would have to look at the evolving relationship beyond the Indian Ocean or the Asia Pacific. And if this is going to rub some in the neighbourhood the wrong way, so be it. The substance of Dr Manmohan Singh's trip to Japan was manifold and certainly a mixture of politics, economics and strategy. The fact that the two countries are moving ahead full steam on the civilian nuclear front is itself testimony to a forward looking approach that bids goodbye to the anachronisms that has come by way of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). For that matter it has been pointed out that the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was not just an issue for India but for the United States as ...

New Delhi cannot afford to sit around while others plot its destruction. Â Surrounded with sullied strategic environment and the spreading fire that engulfs the region, New Delhi can either continue to live in fear as it has in the past, or fight back. Â There are two distinct threats that endanger the existence of the Union. Â Equally true is the fact that Americans are fighting Indias war too. If they withdraw from the AF-PAK area, the entire Jihad factory will descend mercilessly upon India to create mayhem. Â First are the imperial ambitionsÂ of China that threaten to ultimately dismember the Indian Union in twenty or thirty parts. To succeed in its aim, Beijing over a period of time unleashed the first phase of the strategy and intelligently encircled India. Â This initial phase resulted in shrinking New Delhiâ€™s strategic frontiers in its vicinity. Indians unwittingly made the Chinese task a cakewalk, as they were preoccupied with internal bickering for short-term personal gains, overlooking t ...
