SRINAGAR, OCT 10: Senior legislator and National Conference leader, Dr Shiekh Mustafa Kamal Thursday said that it was India's former Army chief General V.K.Singh who put Army Units at the disposal of Peoples Democratic Party candidates during 2002 elections and helped them to come off with flying colours. Kamal told Srinagar based news gathering agency that General V.K.Singh is the person who fulfilled the desire of Mufti Muhammad Sayed to occupy the Chair of Chief Minister in Jammu and Kashmir.

NEW DELHI: Widely held as the greatest batsman in contemporary cricket, called it quits from Test cricket, announcing his retirement after his 200th match against the West Indies next month, bringing the curtains down on an extraordinary career spanning a marathon 24 years. Struggling with form for the last two years, 40year-old Tendulkar on Thursday informed the BCCI about his decision to retire from Test cricket, putting an end to the intense speculation about his future. With his poor form, there has been increasing pressure on him to pave the way monumental run s 15,837 Sachin Tendulkar contacted the president, BCCI, and has requested the BCCI to release the following statement to the media, on his behalf: "All my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India. I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It's hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it's all I have ever done since I was 11 years old. It's been a huge honour to have represented my country and played all over the world. I look forward to playing my 200th Test Match on home soil, as I call it a day. I thank the BCCI for everything over the years and for permitting me to move on when my heart feels it's time! I thank my family for their patience and understanding. Most of all, I thank my fans and well-wishers who through their prayers and wishes have given me the strength to go out and perform at my best.

STOCKHOLM/OTTAWA: Canada's Alice Munro won the Nobel literature prize on Thursday for her short stories that focus on the frailties of the human condition, becoming just the 13th woman to win in the history of the coveted award. The Swedish Academy honoured Munro, 82, as a "master of the contemporary short story". It hailed her "finely tuned storytelling, which is characterised by clarity and psychological realism. Some critics consider her a Canadian Chekhov."

SACHIN, RAHUL AND MANMOHAN: ONE APEX, TWO BASES


HINDSIGHT
ROHIT SINGH RANA The trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Gandhi and Manmohan Singh makes an interesting triangle. If Sachin is the apex of the triangle, then Rahul and Manmohan are its two bases. Sachin, who announced his retirement from test cricket after appearing in the 200th test match to be played at Mumbai against West Indies next month, will be remembered as a player who understood that he was not now delivering as per his reputation and hence decided to hung up his boots. At the age of forty he could still have played and nobody would have courage to tell him to retire. To sense limitations at the right moment is what makes great people great. Sachin is one of the greats of India, who has won hearts of millions of Cricket fans all over the world, with his performance and tenacity. Obviously, he forms the pinnacle or apex of the triangle. Rahul and Manmohan Singh will perhaps not come near to Sachin in any manner. In performance, they are a pale shadow of Sachin, in propriety and conviction, not up to the mark. Manmohan Singh has famously said that he will continue to work under Rahul Gandhi even after 2014. In which capacity will the soon to be Ex- Prime Minister, work under Rahul is not important, alarming is his wish to be in the reckoning, although well past eighty. Is it that he wants to play an innings of a night watchman under Captain Rahul? It needs guts to call it a day and bid a good bye to the job which incidentally has not been carried well. Today the common perception in the country is that the Prime Minister has not delivered and is ineffective. This impression has been bolstered by the failure of Prime Minister, especially his silence over many crucial things and his inability to relate to the people of the country. It is a worrying sign for the nation to see a Prime Minister mired in controversies, not relating to his personal integrity but relating to the way he has led the nation especially in UPA-2, reflective of a harrowing tale of non -performance and corruption. The Coal Gate, 2 G scam, Common wealth scam, repeated intrusions of China and Pakistan with no response from the Prime Minister has eventually made him look weak and meek. Finally, the last addition to his persona came from unexpected quarters. The person with whom Manmohan wished to click a bonhomie and even unilaterally said that he would live to attend Nawaz Sharif's coronation and went overboard to meet him in New York in the end came out with acerbic remark describing the Prime minister as Dehati Aurat. Rahul on the other forms the second base of the triangle. India would have loved to see him find his place in the country's politics on merit. Dynasty politics is about continuous grooming right from the childhood, which opportunity is denied to other Indians. Still despite the proverbial silver spoon in the mouth the Congress scion has not come up to the expectations of the nation. Rolling sleeves up is just a small part of bravado and rebuking the efforts of Prime Minister and his cabinet on the Ordinance on convicted law makers as Nonsense is demonstrative of raw political acumen, in a man who is now Past forty three but groomed to rule the country. At this rate of learning, it is no surprise that the nation will continue to see him in politics till twice his present age. God bless him, Let he keep good health. No doubt about that. But resorting to severe criticism first and then calling Manmohan his Guru is not palatable in the real sense. It is snobbery and Chamcha giri of the highest order. Rahul has named two Gurus in his life, the first being his mother and the second, the Prime minister. It will be interesting how will he accommodate and allow his Guru to work under him as Manmohan has fondly expressed. A peculiar script is being written in the annals of Indian civilization. The Guru is willing to work under his disciple (Chela) and he feels no hindrances in doing that. Coming to our triangle, the apex position seems obvious spot for Sachin and below him two bases Manmohan and Rahul are more than willing to shower all praises on each other without a record of matching performance to show. Wish they both could raise their heads up and look to the apex for inspiration. Sadly, instead we hear a chorus of opportunism, superciliousness, self praise for the nation to behold.

Pakistan where minorities are dug out from graves!


The land of the pure called Pakistan, has added another feather to its purity index. This time it is not beheading of Indian soldiers or killing of Indian Jawans in cold blood but actually it is many steps downgrade. This can happen only in Pakistan which unfortunately is the ultimate dream of the eyes of many separatists and militants in Kashmir right from Geelani to Yasin Malik or Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. The utter depths of incivility to which Pakistan can stoop happened in Pangrio town in Sindh province on Tuesday last. A Hindu named Bhoro Bheel died in an accident and according to the caste traditions of his clan he was buried in the graveyard belonging to Hindus. After he was buried, a crowd of Muslim fundamentalists belonging to Ahle Sunat Wal Jamat attacked his grave like hungry wolves. Soon a big crowd swelled up at the sight. Shouting slogans, they too joined in the 'pious' duty. The body was taken out and dragged through the streets of the town. Caring little for human values, the crowd latter threw it away. Islamic historians say proudly that such type of cruel incidents happened in pre -Islamic Arabia and when Islam was introduced these practices were banished. Shall it be construed that such times have again returned in Pakistan, the country where Islam is the state religion. Whatever the case be, one thing is for sure, minorities are not safe in Pakistan even after they are dead. RANASAHIB

matches, he had, under his belt, a whopping 18,426 at an average of 44.83. He is the only batsman to score 100 international centuries -- 51 in Tests and 49 in ODIs. Much before his debut on November 15, 1989 against Pakistan, Tendulkar's precocious talent was there to be seen when he shared an unbeaten 664-run stand with buddy Vinod Kambli in the Lord Harris Shield inter-school game in 1988. His first Test century came in England in 1990 at Old Trafford and the Mumbaikar rose in stature after the 1991-92 tour of Australia, hitting sublime hundreds on a Sydney turner and a Perth minefield. Tendulkar was also the first batsman in the world to score a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February 2010. This was included in Times magazine's top 10 sports moments of the year. A perfect team-man, Tendulkar limited his Twenty20 ambition to the Indian Premier League, ruling himself out of national reckoning lest it upsets the existing equilibrium of the side. The biggest compliment to his batting came from Bradman himself in 1999 when he said that Tendulkar's style of playing resembled his style. His 154 scalps in ODIs underline the fact that Tendulkar could have also staked claim to be that elusive all-rounder that India has been desperately looking for since the legendary Kapil Dev. In the field, he is among the safest pair of hands in the slip and his flat throw releasing strong arm saw him manning the deep with equal aplomb. He has taken 114 catches in Test cricket and 140 in the ODIs. anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896. Last year, the award went to Chinese novelist Mo Yan. Alice Munro sets her taut, acutely observed stories in the rural Ontario countryside where she grew up, focusing a stark lens on the frailties of the human condition. Despite her vast success and an impressive list of literary prizes awarded over the past four decades, Munro, 82, remains as unassuming and modest as the characters in her collections of short stories and novels. These are usually women who do not fit the normal stereotype of the beautiful, ravishing heroine, possibly reflecting the puritan values of her childhood. "She is not a socialite. She is actually rarely seen in public, and does not go on book tours," commented American literary critic David Homel. As brilliant, dignified and elegant as Munro is, she is sometimes described as the complete opposite of another great dame of Canadian literature -- Margaret Atwood. Born on July 10, 1931 in Wingham, Ontario, she grew up in the countryside. Her father Robert Eric Laidlaw raised foxes and poultry, while her mother was a small town schoolteacher. At just 11 years old, she decided she wanted to be a writer, and never wavered in her career choice. "I think maybe I was successful in doing this because I didn't have any other talents," she explained in an interview posted on YouTube. "I'm not really an intellectual," Munro said. "I was an okay housewife but I wasn't that great. There was never anything else that I was really drawn to doing so nothing interfered in the way life interferes for so many people." "It always does seem like magic to me." Munro's first story "The Dimensions of a Shadow" was published in 1950 while she was studying at the University of Western Ontario. It was at school that she met her first husband James Munro. The couple married in 1951 and moved to Vancouver in westernmost Canada, where they raised three girls. In 1963, they bought a house in Victoria and opened a bookstore, Munro's Books, described by author Allan Fotheringham as "the most magnificent bookstore in Canada, possibly in North America." Munro was three times awarded the Governor General's Award for fiction, first for "Dance of the Happy Shades" published in 1968. "Who Do You Think You Are" (1978) and "The Progress of Love" (1986) also won Canada's highest literary honor. Her short stories often appeared in the pages of prestigious magazines such as The New Yorker and The Atlantic Monthly, with her latest collection "Dear Life" appearing in 2012. "She writes about women for women, but does not demonize men," said Homel. Her subjects and her writing style, such as a reliance on narration to describe the events in her books, have earned her the moniker "our Chekhov," in reference to the 19th century Russian playwright Anton Chekhov -- a term affectionately coined by Russian-American short story writer Cynthia Ozick. Munro herself has said she writes about the "underbelly of relationships," adding she sets her stories in Canada "because I live life here at a level of irritation which I would not achieve in a place that I knew less well." "There are no such things as big and little subjects," she has said. "The major things, the evils, that exist in the world have a direct relationship to the evil that exists around a dining room table when people are doing things to each other." In a 2010 interview, she said she wanted readers "to feel something is astonishing -- not the 'what happens' but the way everything happens," she explained, adding that "long short story fictions do that best" for her as opposed to full-length novels. After Munro's first marriage ended in divorce in 1972, she took a post as a writer-in-residence at her alma mater in Ontario. Four years later, she remarried, to geographer Gerald Fremlin, and published new works every four years on average. Munro said earlier this year that she was "probably" not going to write anymore. She insisted in an interview with the New York Times that she meant to retire and said "Dear Life" would be her last work. Her story "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" was adapted for the screen by Sarah Polley as the film "Away from Her," and in 2009 she won the prestigious Man Booker International Prize for her body of work. The Booker panel praised her originality and depth. "Alice Munro is mostly known as a short story writer and yet she brings as much depth, wisdom and precision to every story as most novelists bring to a lifetime of novels," they said. "To read Alice Munro is to learn something every time that you never thought of before.

my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India. I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It's hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it's all I have ever done since I was 11 years old," Tendulkar said in the release issued by BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel. "It's been a huge honour to have represented my country and played all over the world. I look forward to playing my 200th Test match on home soil, as I call it a day," said Tendulkar who holds the incredible record of scoring 100 international centuries. Tendulkar, who has already retired from the ODIs last year, thanked the BCCI for its support throughout his career and also for allowing him to walk into Test sunset at a time of his choosing. "I thank the BCCI for everything over the years and for permitting me to move on when my heart feels it's time! I thank my family for their patience and understanding. Most of all, I thank my fans and well-wishers who through their prayers and wishes have given me the strength to go out and perform at my best," he said. Tendulkar's 200th Test match is most likely to be held at his home ground in Mumbai from November 14. The Eden Gardens in Kolkata is also a contender for hosting that historic match. The BCCI has not yet announced the venues for the two Tests against the West Indies. The fact that the BCCI squeezed in a home series against the West Indies had raised speculation that it was done to give Tendulkar the opportunity to retire in front of his home fans. Although Tendulkar had always maintained that he would continue playing cricket as long as he enjoys playing the game, the pressure of playing at the international level for so long has gradually taking a toll on his ageing body. He recently retired from the IPL and the Champions League T20 event after his franchise Mumbai Indians won both the titles this year. Although the decision to retire was in the offing for some time, the BCCI release did create a flutter, prompting many former cricketers to pay glorious tributes to the batting legend who virtually held every batting record. Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Gundappa Viswanath, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Chandu Borde and Kiran More were among the host of former players who paid rich tributes to the batsman. BCCI president N Srinivasan said the legendary batsman ranks among the top all-time great sportspersons in the world. "I have been an ardent follower and admirer of Sachin Tendulkar from the days he came to play Buchi Babu in Chennai. He is without doubt the greatest cricketer India has produced. In fact, one should really say he ranks among the top of alltime great sportspersons in the world," said Srinivasan. BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel described Tendulkar as one of the finest players. "'If you start your course with all your force, every source of nature will turn towards and help you, To achieve your true success'. This holds so true for one of our finest players, master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar," said Patel. "With mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, joy for his excellent performances during his career, and the sorrow of bidding him goodbye after his 200th Test, I wish him good luck for all his future endeavours," Patel said. Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time and the most prolific run-maker of all time. His 198 Test appearances yielded 15,837 runs at an average of 53.86. From his 463 ODI

Rahul calls Manmohan...


Addressing a public meeting in Punjab, he also hit out at the BJP for questioning the timing of his statement on the ordinance saying this cannot be an issue for speaking the truth. "When I met Manmohan Singh ji after the ordinance, I told him that I have learnt a lot from you. I have two gurus in my life, Congress President and Manmohan Singh. You have given me one guru. What Manmohan Singh has done for India and Punjab has given to the nation, no one has given," he said after the foundation stone laying of a cancer hospital. "Agar niyat kharaab hai to kuchh nahin hoga, agar niyat saaf hai to sab kuchh hoga. Manmohan Singh ji ki niyat bilkul saaf hai (If the intent is bad, nothing will happen. If the intent is clear, everything will happen. Manmohan Singh ji is a man with good intent)," Gandhi said while showering praise on the Prime Minister. The Congress Vice President's remarks assume significance as his public outburst last month against the ordinance that sought to provide immunity to convicted lawmakers was seen as a snub to the Prime Minister as it had been cleared by the Cabinet headed by Singh. Lauding Punjab and its farmers for providing food to the country, the Congress Vice President said the Right to Food to everyone in the country would not be possible without Punjab's farmers. Gandhi also talked about the plight of Sikh farmers ousted from Gujarat and accused the Akali government in the state of not standing for their rights and taking up the matter with its ally.

Meanwhile, the Home Ministry also rejected suggestions that its ambitious project 'Udaan'- a unique joint initiative between the government and corporates aiming at providing skills and enhancing job opportunities for youth of Jammu and Kashmir was a "non-starter". Home Secretary Anil Goswami said there have been some concerns of the corporates who are involved in this scheme and those issues are being addressed.

The brazen abduction - apparently in retaliation for the US special forces' raid over the weekend that seized a Libyan al-Qaida suspect from the streets of Tripoli - reflected the deep chaos and lawlessness gripping Libya. Government spokesman Mohammed Kaabar told the LANA new agency that Zidan has been "set free" and was on his way to his office. The brief report gave no further information and details were sketchy, but it appeared Libyan forces had intervened in some way and that the abductors did not free Zidan voluntarily. A militia commander affiliated with the interior ministry told a private Libyan television station that the prime minister was freed when members of a Tripoli-based militia stormed the house where he was held hostage.

T20I: Yuvraj fashions India's stunning victory over Australia


NEW DELHI: Yuvraj Singh made a remarkable comeback to international circuit with an unbeaten 77 to help India crush Australia by six wickets at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. Yuvraj Singh cracked a blazing 25ball half-century to put Australia on backfoot. Yuvraj started dealing in fours and sixes after losing Virat Kohli and led Indian fightback against Australia. India found themselves in spot of bother as they lost wickets their four wickets at the score 100 in 11.1 overs. Australian pacer Nathan CoulterNile gave India second blow by removing Suresh Raina. Raina tried to push India's chase Rohit Sharma's dismissal as he added 38-run for the second wicket Shikhar Dhawan. Xavier Doherty also joined the party dismissing Dhawan to leave stuttering at 80/3 in 8.3 overs. Dhawan's 19-ball 32 run knock was studded with five boundaries. India suffered an early blow when Australian pacer Clint McKay struck to dismiss Rohit Sharma cheaply. Aaron Finch bludgeoned his way to cost India dearly. However, the wicket had nothing for the bowlers even as they bowled poorly. Finch provided a blazing start to his side with debutant Nic Maddinson as Australia raced to 50 in just 4.1 overs. Maddinson showed no signs of nerves as he punished the bowlers to make a 16-ball 34. The 21-year old left-hander forged a 56-run opening stand with Finch before being castled by seamer Bhuvneshwar. Vinay Kumar picked up two crucial wickets of all-rounder Shane Watson (6) and Aussie skipper George Bailey (0) to bring some relief for the hosts. The visitors came back strongly as Glenn Maxwell blazed through the opposition attack and made 27 off just 13 balls. The 24-year old played a blinder as he struck four sixes in his fluent knock, including three in the same over against Ravichandran Ashwin. Finch was dismissed in the 17th over when Vinay held on to a powerful strike in his follow through. James Faulkner struck a last-ball six to guide his team to a go past the 200-run mark figure.

a 52-ball 89 as Australia posted a challenging 201 for seven against India in the one-off Twenty20 cricket International at SCA stadium on Thursday. Australian batsmen made merry on a flat wicket as they fired in unison but intermittent wickets kept India in hunt. Finch plundered 15 boundaries, including a six, and anchored the Australian innings after being invited to bat. Had it not been some exceptional

bowling by pace duo of R Vinay Kumar (3/26) and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (3/25), who shared six wickets between them, India would have been in more deep trouble. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, playing his first T20 at home, played a crucial part in the hosts' recovery as he gave away just 23 runs in his four overs and also got a wicket. An off-colour R Ashwin and Ishant Sharma bled 93 runs in six wicketless overs between them and that

Giving him company at the other end was Abhishek Nayar on 10. India A were leading by 66 runs in their first innings with as many as seven wickets remaining at the KSCA Stadium. Despite a poor start as they lost overnight opener V A Jagadeesh (16) early after resuming at 10 for one, India A went on to score 324 runs during the day. Seeking to make a comeback to the national team, Gambhir, who was woefully out of form for a long time, notched up 123 off 236 balls with the help of 11 boundaries. Delhi left-hander, who seemed determined to play a long innings in his quest to force the national selectors to sit up and take note, stroked his way to his 35th first-class century by flicking spinner Ashley Nurse for a boundary. But before that he survived a loud leg before appeal off Nurse. He was finally dismissed by Narsingh Deonarine after tea. The opener showed glimpses

India in Pool C in Hero Hockey Junior World Cup


NEW DELHI: India have been placed in Pool C in the forthcoming Hero Hockey Junior World Cup Men 2013 to be held from December 6 to 15, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) announced on Wednesday. Sixteen junior international teams will fight it out for the title at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, with hockey giants -- Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Argentina, Korea, Pakistan, besides hosts India -- among the challengers. The tournament features pools of four followed by quarterfinals, semifinals, classification and medal matches.

England, New Zealand, South Africa and Malaysia will be going head to head in Pool D. The action begins in Pool C when Korea face Canada before a c l a s h between Pool B rivals Australia and Argentina. These will be followed by the Spain v France (Pool B), New Zealand v Malaysia (Pool D), Germany v Belgium (Pool A), Pakistan v Egypt (Pool A) and England v South Africa (Pool D) matches ahead of a mouthwatering meeting between Netherlands and India.

court challenging the decision of BAI to recommend a life ban on her for alleged indiscipline in the IBL. Appearing for Gutta, advocate Gopal Jain argued that the manner in which the association is behaving towards her is completely arbitrary and misuse of power. "You have to treat a sports woman with dignity," he said. Countering his arguments, senior advocate Shanti Bhushan submitted that for past few years her performance is below the rank and there is nothing wrong in the decision taken by BAI's committing. "If she admits that she has committed a mistake or tenders apology, she will be allowed to play," Bhushan said. Gutta has sought quashing of the October 7 order, where BAI had ruled out considering Jwala for selection in any international event in the

next one month, pending a decision by the three-member committee that was formed on Monday. Jwala has said in the plea, "The order has been issued in violation of settled principles of natural justice and fairness without giving her a hearing. "A direction is to be issued to respondent 1 (Sports Ministry) to seek an independent report of the incident and to put in place an independent regulatory mechanism to oversee the functioning of decision making process of BAI in the absence of proper procedure." She has sought quashing of the life ban recommendation of the BAI disciplinary committee. Gutta has alleged that the association's approach was "pre-determined" and has been taken to single her out. She has further alleged that BAI's decision will affect her right to live with dignity.

Stosur storms into Japan Open quarters


OSAKA (Japan): Samantha Stosur beat Swiss qualifier Belinda Bencic 64, 6-2 at the Japan Open on Wednesday and became the highest remaining seed after Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki withdrew hurt. No. 2-seeded Lisicki hurt her left hip, and pulled out from her scheduled second-round match with Polana Hercog of Slovenia.

Somdev Devvarman calls for more Challengers

of his old self, mixing aggression with defence as per the situation. Gambhir was flamboyant in the morning session when he cracked eight scintillating fours, but looked guarded in the second session as he did not score a single boundary. Most of his runs after lunch came in singles and twos, reflecting his determination not to fish at any away-going ball, which the WI A bowlers had offered to him in plenty. Gambhir got good support from Pujara, who scored his runs after batting watchfully for nearly five hours and hitting 15 exquisite boundaries. Both were involved in massive 207-run stand for the second wicket, which put India A in a position from where they can win the match and level the threematch series. Pujara, meanwhile, kept the opposition busy by picking up singles and twos, and occasionally putting away the bad deliveries for boundaries.

The captain reached his ton when he cracked a boundary through the off side of Nikita Miller after facing 180 balls. After the fall of Gambhir's wicket, the Sehwag walked into bat amidst loud cheers and whistles from the jampacked stadium. The 'Nawab of Najafgarh' hardly took any time to settle down as he straightaway delighted the spectators with a boundary and first six of the match off Miller. The Delhi batsman, who was involved in 75-run partnership for third wicket with Pujara, however did not last long as Nurse caught a dolly after the ball ballooned at short mid-on off Miller. He fell for 38 that came of 49 balls, studded with two boundaries and a six. Unlike the Indian bowlers, especially Abhishek Nayar and Dhawal Kulkarni, West Indies A bowlers failed to swing the ball. Nevertheless, Miller, Deonarine and Johnson shared one wicket each.

Top-seed Kerber wins Linz opener after false start


LINZ:Top-seeded Angelique Kerber overcame a poor start to beat Monica Niculescu of Romania 0-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the first round of the Generali Ladies on Wednesday. The 10th-ranked German struggled for rhythm and won just five points on her own serve as she lost the opening set in 22 minutes. Kerber settled after an early break in the second and conceded just three games in the remainder of the match. "I just wasn't there in the first set. I was too nervous." Kerber said. "I am happy that I managed to turn the match around."

Kerber was given a late wildcard entry to replace Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic after the former Wimbledon champion pulled out with a back injury. Kerber leads the competition

for the eighth and final spot at the season-ending WTA Championships in Istanbul. She needs a semifinal place this week or a quarterfinal in Moscow next week to secure it.

SHANGHAI: The call for India to hold Challengers, the backbone of the professional game, was loud and clear. The country's No.1 singles player Somdev Devvarman led the charge saying more of this grade of events in Asia would help players from the region break the top-100 of the world rankings. As it stands, Asia has five players in the top 100 (India has one), while France alone has more than a dozen. Alison Lee, executive vicepresident of the ATP, the only woman on the management team of the men's Tour, is attempting a Challenger revolution in the region. "If

France has a dozen players in the top-100 of the ATP rankings, there's a reason for it, they host nearly 10 Challengers a year," she pointed out. With five players - Yuki Bhambri, Prakash Amritraj, Saketh Myneni, Sanam Singh and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan - ranked between 200 and 400, India perhaps needs this crust of competition most for its players. With about a dozen Futures tournaments and one ATP Tour event on its calendar, the country is without Challengers. A little over a decade ago, India had as many as six Challengers on its annual calendar.

which has suffered a loss of 5,386 lives to contain the violence from 2003 to September 29, 2013 (South Asia Terrorism Portal), seems unable to deliver. The worst cannot be ruled out, particularly since a Taliban/Al Qaeda takeover of Afghanistan would leave thousands of jihadis with nothing to do. While Islamabad will divert many of them against India, many of them will create mayhem within global move to ensure the security of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. It must begin now.

EDITORIAL
LETS ACT, FOR A CHANGE
The close to a fortnight-long encounter in Keran in Jammu & Kashmir clearly demonstrates that the Congress-led UPA Government's weak-kneed policy on Pakistan has failed to work, and that it must be junked and replaced with a robust one which is built on national consensus. Given this backdrop, Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh's demand that the Government call an all-party meeting to discuss the issue, is entirely justified. The situation demands a bipartisan approach that is rooted in ground realities and not based on romantic notions which certain members of the Congress and the Union Government nurture on India's relations with Pakistan. The soft approach hasn't worked, despite the best efforts of this regime and the claim of the new Government in Islamabad led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that it sincerely wants to improve ties with its neighbour. It is pointless to continue debating whether Mr Sharif is his own man or whether the Army in Pakistan calls the shots. The end result is that we have seen countless incidents of breach of the ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control by the other side and infiltration bids by militants with the assistance of the Pakistani Army from across the border. The much-hyped recent meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Mr Sharif in New York has done nothing to improve matters. Left to itself, the Manmohan Singh regime is unlikely to act tough. Perhaps the pressure of an all-party deliberation will prod the Government to respond forcefully. The Centre can no longer treat the matter as its exclusive domain. It involves the issue of national security. Pakistan thrives in the knowledge that the regime in New Delhi is a lame duck one led by an ineffective Prime Minister. The message which an all-party meeting will send is that political parties in India are united in their endeavour to teach Pakistan a befitting lesson. The outcome of such a deliberation will have more meaning than the symbolic antiPakistan resolutions which Parliament has adopted in recent times as a counter to similar moves from Pakistan. Besides, the UPA Government must take the people into confidence on what went wrong for the Keran encounter to happen. Media reports have quoted Indian Army sources to say that close to 40 terrorists had attempted to cross the LoC in the sector with the assistance of the Pakistani Army. The gravity of the situation cannot be lost on anyone; it's been close to 15 days since Indian jawans have been courageously battling the crisis. An all-party meeting must deliberate on what might have gone wrong at our end and also what must be done to prevent similar recurrences. In any other country, the Government of the day would have called for such a meeting and the head of the Government would have addressed the people on the crisis. But the Prime Minister is silent and his Ministers are evasive at worst and ambivalent at best. What is worrisome is the growing perception among many experts that the Indian Army is increasingly finding itself leashed and that it cannot act appropriately as a result of the Government's pusillanimity. It is dangerous if the effectiveness of our Army is compromised at the altar of cowardly diplomacy.

THE WORST CANNOT BE RULED OUT POST-2014


Hiranmay Karlekar
Arguments favouring a dialogue with Pakistan assume that it has a state with which negotiations are possible, ignoring the fact that the military can overturn any civilian Government's decisions. Even what a section of the Army agrees to may be countermanded by the top brass. An example is the Pakistani military high command's countermanding of the decision to send the then Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate's chief, Lieutenant-General Shuja Pasha, to India to assist in the investigation into the 26/11 attack. This after General Pasha had himself said that he would be ready to come. One, however, at least knows that the military ultimately calls the shots. Unfortunately even this cannot be taken indefinitely for granted. The possibility that the state may wither away and the Army, which has a strong extremist presence, may become splintered, can no longer be ruled out. India's foreign policy planning must proceed accordingly. Pakistan is not a cohesive and stable country. In Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the West, Ahmed Rashid identifies four factors responsible for this. First, its political elite has failed to establish a coherent national identity capable of uniting the nation. The very subject remains deeply contentious. Is Pakistan an Islamic state, or is it a state for Muslims that has space for other religious and ethnic minorities? Is it not a democratic state as envisioned by its founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah? Are its people Muslims first, Sindhis or Punjabis second, and Pakistanis third. Or they Pakistanis first and foremost? Frightening problems on the ground compound the inter-play of these fundamental, unresolved issues. Mr Rashid identifies them as an increase in population from 185

The country must prepare for a massive thrust by jihadis across the LoC and international border in Jammu & Kashmir, and more of 26/11-type strikes
million now to a projected 275 million in 2050 and the attendant problem of feeding it, which is already acute; a literacy rate of 57 per cent, the lowest in South Asia; an annual economic growth rate of 2.6 per cent when one of at least nine per cent is needed to employ its under-twenties who already constitutes 60 per cent of the population. Worse, the economy is collapsing because of acute shortages. The Pakistani Taliban, waging an insurgency since 2005 to topple the Government, defeat the Army and install an Islamist extremist state in Pakistan (Rashid), now controls large tracts of the country's north-west and is joined by other extremist groups in destabilising cities like Karachi and taking over large tracts of southern Punjab. The Pakistani Army Pakistan. The most likely scenario will be the continuance of formal governmental structures in Islamabad and the provincial capitals with little authority over the rest of Pakistan where warring fundamentalist Islamist formations will call the shots. Some of them may even access a warhead from Pakistan's growing nuclear arsenal or fissile material from a manufacturing unit. India will be among the targets. India must prepare to face a massive thrust by jihadis across the Line of Control and international border in Jammu & Kashmir, repeated 26/11-type strikes, one of which may involve a nuclear detonation, and a conventional war, with potential for becoming a nuclear one, that may follow. Finally, it needs to get countries like the United States, Russia and China to orchestrate a

The Pakistani Army which has suffered a loss of 5,386 lives to contain the violence from 2003 to September 29, 2013 (South Asia Terrorism Portal), seems unable to deliver.

China dreams real, we only fantasise


Claude Arpi
The untimely death of Arun Kumar Bal, the Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Defence, negotiating the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft purchase, will delay further Indias military preparedness. It is now unlikely that Delhi will sign the deal of the century for 126 Rafale fighters from Dassault Aviation during the current Fiscal Year 2013 (in other words before the Lok Sabha election). On October 4, during a Press conference Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne said that appointing Bals successor and familiarising the new appointee with the complexities of the MMRCA negotiations could take four months, if not longer. The same day, Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian, the French Defence Minister, remained optimistic. It is logical that there should be indepth technical and financial discussions, he pointed out. This raises another related issue: That of Chinese defence preparedness and Indias lack of it. A few months ago, The Peoples Daily provided some details on the Chinese Dream, so dear to President Xi Jinping. The mouthpiece of the Communist Party explains: The Chinese dream is a dream for peace. Adhering to the peaceful development is Chinas choice of the times. China stands for peace settlement for global disputes and issues and the new security concept of mutual trust, mutual benefit and cooperation... The Chinese dream belongs to the world. Well, it is unfortunate that recent events on the ground did not reflect these high philosophical objectives. The South China Sea, the East China Sea as well as the Himalayan borders between India and China, (whether it is in Ladakh, Uttarakhand or Arunachal Pradesh), have only witnessed tension, not harmony. not yet. On June 22, 2013, The South China Morning Post affirmed: Chinas top science advisers have listed 19 projects as the research priorities of the next decade. They include quantum telecommunications and a high-performance jet engine that could drastically improve the capacity of its indigenous fighter jets. According to the Hong Kong-based newspaper, the report was prepared by the Around the same time, the concept of megaprojects was mooted. The objective has been to assimilate and absorb advanced technologies imported from outside China to help the country to develop a range of major equipment.Michael Raska, a Research Fellow at the Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies in Singapore, mentioned the three military megaprojects: Shenguang Laser Project for Inertial Confinement Fusion; Second Generation Beidou Satellite Navigation System; Hypersonic Vehicle Technology Project China has, however, a big problem: The rigidity of its bureaucracy functioning under the Communist Party. But Beijing is serious about tackling the babudom. A Special Projects Office was established in 2007. It was the equivalent of an economic zone headquarters to make sure that the megaprojects would not be buried by the bureaucracy. The megaprojects office was to evaluate applications, approve funding and closely monitor the projects. The budget for each project was specific and identified both central and local government contributions; in other words, micromanagement. Can India achieve such a feat? Especially in the defence sector, India depends in a large measure on imports. According to many analysts, the main reason for this dependence is the lack of large-scale domestic research and development. Take the example of HAL. A few months ago, Dassault Aviation, the constructor of the Rafale selected in the MMRCA project, expressed doubts about the capacity of HAL to absorb French technology. Without even speaking about innovations, can HAL digest French technology? India is suffering from the same disease as China, but despite the bureaucratic deficiencies, the leadership in Beijing has a tremendous political will (and adequate economic means) to change this scenario in the years to come. This does not seem to be the case for India at least under the current political equation.

LORD YAMA, TAKE A BREAK!


Why on earth would one pay close to Rs 5,000 for a watch that will tell us when we are going to die? It's not a big amount, some would argue. But any figure is ridiculous for an instrument that informs us the day of our final departure. Moreover, many of us spend enormous amounts to eat well, dress elegantly, travel in style and, in certain cases, to merely make a statement. After splurging on good life, why spend even a penny to know precisely when we shall leave behind all that we have cornered? Isnt it enough to know that we will, eventually? But the makers of the death watch', named Tikker, are upbeat. They believe that the desire to know one's date of death is as consuming among people as their desperation to live. The designers of the watch will begin to ship the product from April 2014. Tikker's inventor, Fredrick Colting, has a take: He thinks that the magic product will help people plan their lives better and take care of essentials in a more focussed way, because they would know for sure when they will die. But the reverse could also happen, with people falling into a depression or getting reckless in life on being told by an instrument that they are going to breathe their last on so-and-so year or month or day. The simplicity of the exercise to arrive at the death-date is more frightening. To set up Tikker, the person has to just fill up a questionnaire regarding his and his family's medical history, his age and a few other related information. And, lo and behold, through a complex calculation, the machine starts the countdown to the D-day (D for death'). The clock then begins to tick rubbing off years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds from the user's life, till the inevitable happens. The problem is: There is no certainty that the calculations will turn out right. The person, despite all the grim information that he feeds in and which determines the calculation, may end up living longer than the period the watch concludes. We have had medical cases where the doctors gave up on a patient who later beat all odds and lived on for years. Like Tikker will do, the doctors too based their prediction on the available medical history of the patient. Tikker raises a larger issue: Should and can humankind control life and death? Medicine has advanced to the extent that it can provide for better living and even painless death. But for an inventor to say that his machine can predict death-day, is stretching science far. Some years ago, the rush to preserve dead bodies in supercooled facilities through the science of cryogenics, until the bodies could be brought back to life' at some later stage when medicine had advanced enough, had turned into a fashion for the rich. There are thousands of bodies waiting for resurrection, when they ought to have been despatched to heaven or wherever else, long ago. The rate at which humans are racing to play god, Lord Yama will soon be out of work.

Beijing is pushing ahead forcefully with a series of programmes that will give it a technological edge in defence needs, for now and for the future. Sadly, India is still saddled with old-world equipment
It is, however, certain that India has to learn something from China in terms of dreaming. But let us not fool ourselves the true objective behind the Chinese Dream is to make China a dominant, self-reliant superpower. Very early in its history, the Chinese Communist leadership realised that the great renaissance of the Chinese nation was dependent on innovation with Chinese characteristics. Beijing has now taken decisive actions to remedy some of the nations deficiencies in this field; India has
lame, abortive and myth. It is corruption and effortless money that works as inhuman torch to execute nefarious unlawful inhuman action for few to suit their diabolical action to draw political mileage out of it. Innocent, ignorant, people living under cankering pain of poverty become the easy victim of such barbarian game. It is shameful and heart tearing to find killings blaming either militants or CRPF. The more the killing the more the hate. Leaders demand apology for vile language and never demand or persuade the concerned to explore viable solution for Kashmir tangle to contain human loss and barbarism.

War is better than unjust peace


Dear Editor, The sequence of murky events followed with cumulative trauma, most diabolical and inhuman in nature, candidly implies a clandestine nexus between a distinct class of forces and mercenary elements internally looking with greedy eye and mercenary motive. Stripping off badges, colours suggested by most of the icons is not going to make the summer of sweltering winter. What civilized nation actually needs a change in the motive with passive resistance for all evil. To focus skewed eye on glaring trauma when there is a galloping rise in corruption is most irreligious and disgusting. We need to find a solution for all the evils. And this is possible only when we reorient ourselves to the extent that gives no chance to repeat the evil of mercenary mechanism. Using innocents as human shields, war of attrition with libelous words adopting a policy of escapism is sufficient to justify the game of mercenary greed. Pumping money, using military method of defending oneself to meet the eventuality is no treatment to nail the standing nuisance. Chickweed growth of political parties each holding his own ideology is a glaring proof, her we treat the democracy in a wrong way. A simple question how they grow and how they manage and arrange to run their shops is a moot point. In a democratic set up opposition group is most important to the extant they mean to expose the loopholes, mitigate the evil and challenge what in repugnant to ethics and injustice. What is annoying in it is that they play opposition for opposition sake as they are mad after power passion. Let us not mistake politics for ultra purposes. Politics without content humanism is quite

Rotting food grains

Dear Editor, We must keep in mind that the country is selfsufficient in food grains production and our stocks are full which a matter of pride for us all. But there are difficulties in storing the surplus food grains as grains, vegetable and fruits worth staggering Rs.44000 crores go waste annually owing to lack of adequate storage facilities. The food grain is rotting in open and gets spoiled due to inclement weather at times and because of rodents and natural hazards as well. The government needs to address this problem of scarcity of godowns etc on a war footing. Yours faithfully, Ravi Sharma, Jammu.

Chinese Academy of Sciences as a roadmap for breaking into the American dominance in domains as diverse as military, space, new materials, energy and agriculture. Though not all the projects have a direct military implication, ultimately, all of them will have a dual use. The South China Morning Post mentioned: The most eyecatching one is a new jet engine that promises to deliver thrust equivalent to 15 times its own weight. This particular field is usually considered to be the weakest link in Chinas aviation sector. Beijing has had to rely on foreign imports (mainly from Russia) for its fighter jets. Though Chinese plans triggered some scepticism, Beijing has the political will and the economic means to jump into innovative adventures. Further, the Chinese Dream goes hand in hand with military modernisation. It is not new, but in the recent years and months the dream has been taken up by the new leadership in Beijing with renewed vigour Already, in March 1986, China initiated a National High Technology Programme (known as Program 863), which was launched to promote Chinas high-tech development in key areas such as information technology, biology, aeronautics, automation, energy, materials and oceanography. Fifteen years later, another landmark document was published, The National Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006-2020), also known as the MLP.The MLP describes itself as the grand blueprint of science and technology development to bring about the great renaissance of the Chinese nation. The MLP defines indigenous innovation as enhancing original innovation through coinnovation and re-innovation based on the assimilation of imported technologies. What assimilation and re-innovation means is well-known from those who deal with China. The report clearly states: Importing technology without transforming it into Chinese technology is not acceptable to China anymore.

India seeks new deal with Sri Lanka on fishermen


NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 10: India is trying to establish a new mechanism which will enable early release of fishermen, especially those from Tamil Nadu who inadvertently enter Sri Lankan waters and are detained or arrested. We are trying to do create a mechanism for those Indian fishermen who stray inadvertently into Sri Lankan waters, Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami said during the monthly press interaction of Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde in New Delhi on Thursday. The new mechanism shall be in line with what we have with Pakistan where we notify the counterparts and ensure early release of our people, he said. Mr. Shinde said such incidents have been happening for a long time and a new protocol in this regard will help in bringing down instances of long detention or arrest of fishermen especially from Tamil Nadu by Sri Lankan forces. Mr. Goswami said with such operating procedures in place with Pakistan, India has been able to ensure quick release of its fishermen and the gesture is returned promptly when some Pakistani fishermen are apprehended by Indian maritime security patrols. Coastal security scheme Mr. Shinde, during the interaction, also said all States, including Gujarat would be asked to expedite the implementation of the centrally-funded Coastal Security Scheme. We advise those states who are slow in implementing the scheme to gather pace. We will tell all states to take immediate action as coastal security is very important, he said. Categorising Gujarat, Maharashtra and the Sunderbans in West Bengal as vulnerable coastal and sea points in the country, Mr. Shinde said his Ministry will surely talk to these states to speed up the on-ground implementation of this scheme.

Odisha raises warning level, HC tells govt. to file affidavit in Chhattisgarh polls: 1 jawan Cyclone Phailin intensifies match-fixing and betting case for 31 civilians in Bastar
B H U B A N E S WA R , OCTOBER 10: The cyclonic storm, Phailin, over east central Bay of Bengal has intensified further into a cylconic storm and lay centred 850 km southeast of Paradip and 950 km eastsoutheast of Visakhapatnam at 5.30 am on Thursday. The system is predicted to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm in the next 12 hours and will continue to move northwestwards and cross north Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coast between Kalingapatnam and Paradip late on October 12 with a maximum sustained wind speed of 175-185 kmph. The Odisha government on Thursday raised its warning level and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has written to the Centre asking for Air Force and Naval units to be placed on alert for rescue and relief operations. The distant storm warning signal number has been raised to two at the states Paradip and Gopalpur ports, an official of the Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre said. Our past experience indicates that despite preparedness by the State Government, the impact of a very severe cyclonic storm requires support of the Defence Forces to mitigate the effects of the extreme weather event, Mr. Patnaik said in his letter addressed to Union Defence Minister A.K. Antony. The Chief Minister also held a meeting of the State Cabinet to take stock of the situation and finalise the strategy to tackle the situation. The State Government had also asked for deployment of the National Disaster Rapid Action Force (NDRAF) along with Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF). Even as the Durga Puja celebrations across the State, particularly in the coastal belt of the State are underway, people have begun to stock up on essential commodities with the memories of the 1999 super-cyclone still fresh in their mind. The coastal districts likely to be hit by the impending cyclone are Balasore, Bhadrak, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Ganjam and Gajapati. The state government has made elaborate preparations to meet any eventualities, and directed collectors of 14 cyclone-prone districts to deploy relief and rescue officials at vulnerable points. People will also be evacuated from low-laying areas to safer places if the need is felt for such a measure. We have asked all the concerned officials to stay prepared and conduct mock drills of relief and rescue forces. We have asked them to keep adequate food items, boats and tree cutting equipment ready, Special Relief Commissioner Pradeep Kumar Mohapatra said. He said the state has about 50 satellite phones and officials were ensuring that they work properly in case there was disruption in telephone services. Round-the-clock control rooms have been activated in the district headquarters towns, including in the highly cyclone-prone Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, Balasore, Ganjam, Puri and Kendrapada. We are fully prepared, and we have adequate boats and food items ready. Disaster forces have been kept on standby. We may evacuate people from low laying areas later, if such a step is necessary, Satya Kumar Mullick, collector of Jagatsinghpur district, said. MUMBAI, OCTOBER 10: The Bombay High Court on Thursday asked Maharashtra government to file an affidavit within three weeks detailing investigations carried out by the Mumbai Crime Branch in the case of match fixing and betting in Indian Premier League cricket matches.The direction was given by a Bench headed by Justice P.V. Hardas which heard a PIL filed by former journalist Ketan Tirodkar asking for a joint probe by central agencies such as Income Tax department, Enforcement Directorate and CBI, into the alleged nexus of cricket players with bookies.Public Prosecutor Aruna Kamat Pai made a statement that the Crime Branch, Detection of Crime Branch, CID and the property cell department had carried out investigations and filed chargesheet in a local court in Mumbai. Police would soon file supplementary charge sheet in this case, she submitted.The judges then told the government to file an affidavit to inform what had been done in this matter and what more steps the Crime Branch proposed to take. Only after hearing the Crime Branch about the progress on investigations, will the High Court consider the plea on transfer of probe to central agencies, the judges said. The petitioner prayed that the Crime Branch be directed to register a case of cheating against players and bookies who had allegedly developed nexus with vested interests for fixing matches or promoting betting in IPL matches.The PIL alleged that offences had been committed in the context of match fixing during IPL 2013 and also urged a direction to ED, IT department as well as Mumbai police and Delhi police to co-operate with the CBI which should take up the role of co-ordinating these investigations. The petitioner said that on a request by the central government, the CBI had earlier conducted a preliminary inquiry into the alleged nexus of players with bookies. This report should culminate in the filing of an FIR if offences had been committed. However, this had not been done, the PIL said.When the IPL scam broke this year, some bookies names had cropped up during investigations conducted separately by Delhi police and Mumbai police, the PIL said, adding that a central and independent agency like the CBI must be directed to probe the alleged cricket match fixing and betting. RAIPUR, OCTOBER 10: Six hundred companies of central paramilitary forces will be deployed in Chhattisgarh for the twophase poll in November, making the predominantly tribal southern areas of the state one of the most militarized zones in the world. Anticipating a single day poll, the State government had requisitioned nearly 1500 companies of central forces. While the Union Home Ministry has cut down the allocation, it is nearly double the 320 companies deployed during the last elections in 2008. In the first phase of the election, 600 companies of central paramilitary forces will be deployed in 12 constituencies of south Chhattisgarh and six of Rajnandgaon according to a message faxed by the Home Ministry to the state administration. Each company has roughly 120 to 135 personnel, hence around 80,000 central paramilitary forces will be posted in the seven districts of south Chhattisgarh and adjacent Rajnandgaon which have been the focus of the Maoist insurgency. Thirty-three battalions of central paramilitaries are

already stationed in the area thus taking the total number of forces on the ground to 117,000. In addition, nearly 25,000 state police are also placed in south Chhattisgarh. The assembly polls in the predominantly Gond tribal area will thus have approximately 143,000 armed security personnel on-hand to monitor the process. The figure could be five thousand more or less, said a senior official of State administration. These seven districts of south Chhattisgarh and Rajnandgaon have a combined population of little over 45 lakh. So the ratio of security personnel to civilians in south-central Chhattisgarh

would be 1:31. At the peak of the conflict in 2011, the armed security personnel to civilian ratio in Afghanistan was 1:73, according to data released by Central Statistics Organization (CSO), Kabul and World Banks Development Indicators (WDI) under the chapter Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers, are read in conjunction. In Israel one of the top militarized countries it was 1:42 in 2011, as per WDI. Kashmir, which has often been referred as the worlds most militarized conflict has a civilian to security personnel ratio ranging from 1:21 to 1:27, in various non-governmental reports.

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 10: Government on Thursday said it will go ahead with its decision to create Telangana despite protests in Seemandhra region, but remained non-committal on imposition of Presidents rule in Andhra Pradesh. Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said the Group of Ministers, set up to look into the creation of Telangana, will submit its report as early as possible and justice will be given to Andhra Pradesh. The GoM will submit its report as early as possible and that is the reason why no time frame has been given to it..., he said replying to a volley of questions on bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. Asked whether the Central government was planning to impose Presidents rule in the southern state, which has been witnessing massive protests in Seemandhra region against the decision to create Telangana, Mr. Shinde said, that I cannot say now. The Home Minister ruled out any rethink on the decision to create Telangana following massive protests in Seemandhra region. I do not think there is any possibility of going back to the decision to create Telangana, he said. Mr. Shinde, however, did not commit whether the Telangana Bill will be tabled during the Winter session of Parliament.That we will see, he said when asked whether the Bill will be brought in the coming session expected to start November-end. T H I R U VA N A N T H A P U R A M , OCTOBER 10: The Kerala Cabinet on Thursday approved the comprehensive terms of reference for judicial enquiry into the solar panel scam. The judicial commission, to be appointed after the High Court communicated its decision on sparing a sitting judge for the enquiry, will look into the allegations raised in the Kerala Assembly and outside on fraud and related financial dealings. The questions to be probed are whether there is any basis for the allegations, and if in the affirmative, who all were responsible. The commission is also to examine whether the government suffered any financial loss on account of alleged deals. The terms are that the commission should fix responsibility if there was avoidable loss. The terms also specify that the commission should examine whether there was any default in handling the complaints that arose since 2006 in connection with the solar scam and related financial dealings. In case there was default, the KARNAL: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly discharged from a hospital on Tuesday night as her father failed to arrange the money required for treatment. The staff at Kalpana Chawla Medical College in Karnal allegedly told the family members of Preet Kaur, who was admitted to the hospital with high fever, to take her away as the money was not paid on time. The patient was later readmitted on the intervention of Karnal chief medical officer (CMO) Dr Vandana Bhatia. "Since the hospital is not under my purview, I met the doctors concerned and requested them to give proper treatment to the patient," said Dr Bhatia. Meanwhile, Karnal deputy commissioner (DC) Vikas Yadav said he had asked the institute's medical superintendent to look into the matter and file a report immediately. Appropriate action would be taken in case anyone was found guilty, he said. Ram Singh, uncle of the victim, alleged that the doctors discharged the girl on Tuesday night even as they kept pleading not to do so. The condition of Preet, who was admitted to the hospital two days back with high fever, deteriorated and the doctors told her father Diwan Singh to arrange for one unit of blood for transfusion on Tuesday. Diwan spent the whole day arranging the blood for transfusion. When he came to the hospital in the evening, he was told that Preet had been discharged. He took up the matter with concerned doctors, who told him to take the girl to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak. Diwan alleged that the hospital also declined to provide free ambulance service and asked for money to shift the patient to Rohtak. "I requested the doctors to let my daughter sit in the hospital for the night so that the blood arranged by me could be administered to her.

responsibility should be fixed. The commission is being asked to look into the adequacy of laws and systems to prevent cheating and swindling of money and take action and submit recommendations on stronger legislative

and other measures to eliminate cheating. It is also to recommend on measures that could be adopted to ensure that those subjected to swindling and financial fraud, as mentioned in other terms, get their money back.

Woman fights back molester on bus


KOLKATA: When a molester picked on a quiet, diminutive woman on a packed bus in Kolkata, he had no idea about the willpower she packed into her five-foot frame. The 32-yearold woman fought back after being pinched and groped and dragged the youth by his collar off the bus and into a police station. Then she calmly headed off for her workplace. It happened on Monday when the city is gearing up to celebrate Durga Puja. It came to light only on Wednesday when the braveheart went to court to record her statement. The accused, 22-year-old Robin Roy, works with one of India's biggest truck makers. The woman works as an assistant at a Burrabazar clothes store to support her son, who studies in one of the top schools of Kolkata. Their paths crossed at the Belur bus terminus on Monday. They were both boarding the Route 44 bus when the woman felt a push from behind and an "inappropriate touch". "I was wondering about my son's term-end result when I was suddenly pushed forward and realized that I was being targeted," she told TOI soon after filing her statement at Bankshall Court on Wednesday. She pointed out that she was a daily traveller and knew the difference between jostling and harassment. "He pinched me. I warned him but he pushed me and again pinched me from behind," she said.
