A fter the district adminis- tration and police force of Hathras came under scanner in handling of the probe into rape and murder of a Dalit woman, the Yogi Adityanath Government on Friday sus- pended five policemen, includ- ing Superintendent of Police Vikrant Vir. The Government asked SP, Shamli, Vineet Jaiswal, to immediately take charge as new SP of Hathras. Facing criticism and calls for his resignation, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi said those “who even think of harming a woman’s self-respect will face total destruction”. An official communiqué released by the Government spokesman here on Friday night confirmed that on basis of primarily enquiry of the SIT, Yogi placed SP Vikrant Vir, then Deputy SP Ram Sabd, then SHO Dinesh Kumar Verma, senior Sub-Inspector, Jagveer Singh and head con- stable clerk Mahesh Pal under suspension. The Government also decided to conduct narco analysis and polygraph tests of both — the complainant and the accused — to extract the truth, the Government spokesman claimed. Sources said the surprising decision to conduct narco and polygraph tests on the com- plainant has been taken after villagers from a dozen hamlets of the Hathras district held a panchayat on Friday and claimed that all the accused were innocent and that the family members of the victims should be put through the narco test. They also demanded that the probe be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Speculation was rife throughout the day that the DM will also be shown the door after he was caught on camera on Thursday threaten- ing the family members of the victim. But he survived the purge, at least for time being. The police action to cre- mate the body of the victim at midnight without the consent of her family members created countrywide outrage and trig- gered demand for the resigna- tion of the Chief Minister. Several video and audio tapes have surfaced in which the family members of the vic- tim have been heard saying they are under threat from the police and attempts have been made to buy their silence by offering them compensation. M assive protest was held in Delhi over Hathras rape case. Congress general secre- tary Priyanka Gandhi attend- ed a prayer meeting at Valmiki mandir at New Delhi, while actress Swara Bhaskar and Left leaders protest at Jantar Mantar. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal joined the protest at Jantar Mantar to express solidarity with the victim. Addressing the gathering at the prayer meeting organised by Valmiki community at the Prachin Bhagwan Valmiki Mandir at Panchkuian Road in central Delhi, Priyanka said every woman in this country needs to raise her voice and question the Government to seek justice for the daughter of Hathras. Meanwhile, Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, senior lawyer Prashant Bhusan, CPI(M) leaders Brinda Karat and Sitaram Yechury, and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj were among those who gathered at the Jantar Mantar on Friday evening, demanding justice for the Hathras victim. People gathered at the site wearing masks and raising slogans demanding res- ignation of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and justice for the victim. At protest, Kejriwal said they have assembled here in grief. “I pray to God that our daughter’s soul gets peace. I request the UP Government with my folded hands to hang the guilty as soon as possible. The accused should get such a punishment that no one will dare commit such a crime again,” said Kejriwal. After sunset, the protesters lit up candles and stood hold- ing them in the dark at Jantar Mantar to mark their protest. Following the protest the Delhi Police also beefed up security at the Jantar Mantar. Besides ground force, senior police officials and paramilitary per- sonnel were deployed manage the crowd. Police said the protest site has been barricad- ed by the police to restrict the movement of protesters. On Thursday night, the Delhi Police had issued a noti- fication that no assembly would be permitted at the India Gate as CrPc section 144 has been imposed barring gathering of more than four people. However, gathering is permit- ted at Jantar Mantar. The protest was initially supposed to be held at the India Gate but was later shifted to the Jantar Mantar owing to the pro- hibitory orders. I ndia’s Covid-19 death toll crossed over one lakh mark while the number of positive cases raced towards six and a half million count on Friday. The data also revealed that 83.37 per cent Covid-related deaths and 76.62 per cent of the active cases are concentrated in just 10 States across the coun- try. India is the second-most- affected country by active and total cases after the USA and death toll is third highest glob- ally after the USA (2,12,912) and Brazil (1,44,767) . According to the Union Health Ministry data, the first Covid-19 death was reported on March 12, from south India. India’s Covid -19 causalities had crossed 100 on April 5, 1,000 on April 28, 10,000 on June 16, 20,000 on July 6, 50,000 on August 15 and 1,00,000 on October 2. The number of casualties was reported 66,462 till September 1. Maharashtra (9,011), Tamil Nadu (9,653), Karnataka (9,119), Andhra Pradesh (5,900) and Uttar Pradesh (5,917) are among the top five States in Covid-19 deaths in the country. As per the data, even though the coun- try is reaching 0.1 million deaths in 7 months, India’s Covid-19 death rate is among the lowest in the world. Country’s current case fatality rate, which is the proportion of people who die of a disease among the total number of patients diagnosed with the dis- ease, stands at 1.56 per cent. India’s Covid-19 tally had crossed the one lakh mark on May 19, 10 lakh on July 16, 20 lakh-mark on August 7, 30 lakh on August 23 and 40 lakh on September 5. It went past the 50 lakh-mark on September 16 and crossed 60 lakh on September 28. The last 1 mil- lion cases for India have come in 13 days. T he police on Friday turned Hathras into an inaccessible fortress, blocked a TMC dele- gation from meeting the fami- ly members of the ganagrape victim and pushed and shoved media persons while preventing them from entering the village. The victim’s cousin report- edly told some media persons that that his uncle was beaten up by policemen and they were told not to interact with the media. Incidentally, the District Magistrate was caught on cam- era threatening the family members on Thursday. The phones of all the fam- ily members are switched off, allegedly on the direction of the officials. In a repeat of Thursday when the Uttar Pradesh Police used force to stop Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi from enter- ing Hathras, they meted out the same treatment to senior TMC leader Derek O’ Brien and two women MPs from the party. The three of them man- aged to reach Hathras, but were not allowed entry into the village. The police used force to prevent them from entering the village and O’ Brien fell down during the skirmish. In a statement, the party said the delegation of Trinamool Congress MPs was stopped by police around 1.5 kilometres from the victim’s home. “A delegation of Trinamool MPs has been stopped by the UP Police from entering Hathras. The delegation had travelled about 200 kms from Delhi. The Trinamool MPs were on their way to the village in Hathras, travelling sepa- rately, to express solidarity with the grieving family and convey their condolences,” the statement said. The delegation included Derek O’Brien, Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Pratima Mondal and Mamata Thakur (former MP). P resident Donald Trump is experiencing “mild symp- toms” of Covid-19 after reveal- ing early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump have test- ed positive for the coronavirus, a stunning announcement that plunged the country deeper into uncertainty just a month before the presidential election. Trump, who has spent much of the year downplaying the threat of a virus that has killed more than 205,000 Americans, said he and Mrs. Trump were quarantining. The White House physician said the president was expected to con- tinue carrying out his duties “without disruption” while recovering. A White House official said Friday morning that the president was experi- encing mild symptoms but was working from the White House residence. Trump’s diagnosis was sure to have a destabilising effect in Washington and around the world, raising questions about how far the virus had spread through the highest levels of the US Government. Hours before Trump announced he had contracted the virus, the White House said a top aide who had traveled with him during the week had tested positive. “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for Covid-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immedi- ately,” Trump tweeted just before 1 am. “We will get through this TOGETHER!” Vice President Mike Pence tested negative for the virus on Friday morning and “remains in good health,” his spokesman said. T he seat-sharing deal between the RJD and the Congress for Bihar Assembly polls has been finalised, but the announcement was delayed due to engagements of the senior Congress leaders in the protest over the Hathras incident. Sources in Congress said the alliance partners are likely to officially announce the formula by Saturday afternoon at a joint Press conference in Patna. A day after the RJD and Congress — two major alliance partners of the mahagath- bandhan — attacked each other over seat sharing, leaders of both the parties, Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, had a telephonic discussion on to finalise an agreement. Sources said the RJD patri- ach Lalu Prasad, currently lodged in Ranchi jail, asked his son Tejashwi to speak to Rahul and seal the deal. Lalu report- edly advised his son to offer the Congress between 65 to 68 Assembly constituencies. The Congress has been demanding 70 seats. AICC sources said the RJD has agreed to contest on 134-136 seats leaving 65-68 for the Congress. W hile the nomination process has already com- menced for the first phase of Assembly polls in Bihar, the Lok Janshankti Party (LJP) is yet not on board on the seat- sharing issue with the NDA allies and “may go it alone” unless a decision is taken as per its demand by Sunday. According to sources, the BJP representatives are work- ing on the “best deal possible” with the disgruntled partner which has sought as high as 42 seats as against 23 to 27 seats offered by the BJP. LJP top leadership has called a meeting of the party leaders on Sunday to take a final call on seat sharing and its ties with the NDA and “may announce its decision to field its candidates in 143 seats against the JDU.” In case of the LJP going alone, the BJP will not be con- testing seats where LJP fields its candidates, sources said adding “informal friendly alliance will continue with the BJP”, sources said maintaining that dialogue is still on with the LJP leader- ship for an amicable solution that could be of the satisfaction of all three parties. I n a major relief to thousands of Indian IT professionals, a federal judge in the US on Thursday blocked the enforce- ment of a temporary visa ban by the Trump administration on a large number of work per- mits, including the most sought after H-1B visas, ruling that the President exceeded his consti- tutional authority. Detailed report on P8 New Delhi: The ICMR in col- laboration with a Hyderabad- based biopharmaceutical com- pany has developed “highly purified antisera” prepared by injecting inactivated SARS- CoV2 in horses, which can be a potential treatment for Covid-19. “The ICMR and Biological E Limited, Hyderabad, have developed highly purified antisera (raised in animals) for prophylaxis and treatment of Covid-19,” the apex health research body said on Thursday.

Deputy Chief Minister ManishSisodia launched a coffee table

book “Bapu – The unforgettable” onFriday 2020 to commemorate the151st birth anniversary of MahatmaGandhi.

A webinar on ‘Footprints ofGandhi’ was also inaugurated by thedeputy chief minister. While speakingat the launch, Sisodia said, “This bookcannot fulfill the void created by theabsence of Bapu but can certainlymake us think, give us ideas, give usa glimpse of his philosophy.”

“There are several untouched

aspects of history in this book, a lotof photographs, epigraphs, and severalother details about Delhi which we

usually do not get to see,” he said. Sisodia said, “In today’s times

when there are a lot of stories about

the social decline, we are in dire needof Gandhian philosophies. If Gandhiji would have been here today, hewould have been playing a crucial rolein directing us towards the upliftmentof our society.”

Awell known doctor inKerala was accused of neg-

ligence when a girl with healthcomplications died while beingoperated upon at hisorthopaedic clinic. Though acomplaint was also lodgedagainst him, it is believed bymany in his fraternity thatonline backlash directed athim on the social media madethe 37-year old doctor take theextreme step of commitingsuicide.

Of late, malevolent idiocyhas become alarmingly popu-lar especially on some televi-sion news channels and socialmedia. It is the driving force ofmany on both sides of an argu-ment- those claiming to beright wingers and those claim-ing to be left wingers orCongress supporters. This pro-clivity bodes ill for the societyand the nation because it isactually a diversion whichkeeps us away from solutions tothe problems which all sidesclaim to dislike. The recentalleged gang rape and murderof a young lady in Hathras isexposing this tendency yetagain. Firstly, most of thoseexpressing outrage are beingselective and focusing only onone case. Secondly, they havenothing to say about thewoman who was recentlyfound beheaded in the samestate of Uttar Pradesh alleged-ly by her husband and his

friend because she purported-ly refused to convert. They arealso silent about another younglady who was allegedly shot byher husband because sherefused to convert. Such andworse crimes can be found inmost states not just UP. Now,many of those ‘protesting’ onthe Hathras on the social mediaand even at Jantar Mantar areopenly taking the name of thevictim while those on the socialmedia are also sharing a pho-tograph purportedly of thevictim. Evidently, they haven’teven learnt the basics from theNirbhaya case and are hencedisplaying the identity of thevictim for their own motives.One should protest againstwrongs and demand justice butwill reactionary demonstra-tions ensure a solution tocrimes? The path to the solu-tion goes through reforms inthe judiciary, police, politicsand most importantly the soci-

ety. A society which cannotreform itself is not in a positionto demand reforms in otherspheres.

Unfortunately, suchheinous crimes often end upbeing an electronic and socialmedia routine while politi-cians and others try to extracttheir bit. The case of the sus-picious death of an actor inMumbai has been treatedalmost similarly by some sec-tions of the media. Whiledemanding justice is necessary,spreading misinformation isdefinitely not. An actor who‘exposed’ the drug nexus in thefilm industry in an exclusiveinterview told the anchor thatmarijuana is used for thera-peutic purposes in the west butganja is a hard drug! A‘reporter’ of the same channelwas once announcing breath-lessly about the quartet ofbuds, ganja, hashish and cha-ras- not knowing that he was

2��������)����)������)��������(����� �)�

referring to two substances asfour. Can one expect balancedand informed inputs from suchpeople? Evidently, that does notseem to bother most con-sumers of such news channelsand many on social media.

Apart from encouragingmalevolent idiocy among thepublic and keeping us awayfrom the solution, this alsodiverts attention from otherreally important issues. Forexample, the United in Science2020 report- a multi-agencyreport coordinated by theWorld MeteorologicalOrganisation (WMO) andreleased last month. This reportbasically states that climatechange has not stopped forCovid-19. Greenhouse gas con-centrations in the atmosphereare at record levels and contin-ue to increase. The reportreveals the very alarming factthat greenhouse gas concen-trations - which are already attheir highest levels in three mil-lion years - have continued torise. The world is set to see itswarmest five years on record –in a trend which is likely to con-tinue - and is not on track to

meet agreed targets to keepglobal temperature increasewell below 2 °C or at 1.5 °Cabove pre-industrial levels. Thereport also highlights theincreasing and irreversibleimpacts of climate change,which affects glaciers, oceans,nature, economies and humanliving conditions and is oftenfelt through water-related haz-ards like drought or flooding.Meanwhile, large swathes ofSiberia have seen a prolongedand remarkable heatwave dur-ing the first half of 2020, whichwould have been very unlikelywithout anthropogenic climatechange, said the WMO secre-tary-general, Petteri Taalas.

Anybody with sense willacknowledge that the WMOreport paints an extremelyalarming scenario. However, ithas elicited limited focus in themainstream media, especiallymost news channels. Thisseems to be a case of the dumbguiding the concerns of thedumber. This trend needs tochange if we are serious aboutpositive change otherwise weare moving towards more dan-gerous and idiotic times.

The State government hasallowed the resumption of

the cinema halls and multi-plexes which are closed forover six months from October15. As per the State govern-ment's guidelines, the cinemahalls will be operated only with50 per cent seating capacity.Considering the recent surgein the number of Covid-19patients in the State, manypeople opined it was a badtime to reopen cinema hallswhereas some opined it is theright time as almost every-thing has been allowed by thegovernment and like in every-thing else, proper measuresshould be observed to stay safeduring the pandemic.

"I think the governmentshould have allowed the oper-ation of cinema halls soonerbecause if regular gatheringscan occur in religious placesand people can look afterthemselves there, movie hallsare quite safer than those

places. I will definitely go towatch movies while observingall the precautions like I do inevery public place," saidDehradun resident, RupeshRawat. According to Haldwaniresident, Kiran Deo, the gov-ernment should lift the restric-tions from all the servicesand let people decide whetherthey want to go or not amidthe pandemic.

"I think people had enoughtime to know and understandabout the measures to curb therisk of Covid-19 disease. Theyknow the severity of the con-dition and they will take pre-cautions before visiting a pub-lic place or use any services.Covid is not going away any-time soon so instead of closingparks, operations of business-es and entertainment, theadministration should allowpeople to choose but with cer-tain regulations and guide-lines. I am not a big movie buffbut if now I would want to go,I will have a choice to go oravoid the multiplexes as the

government has allowed theoperation," said Deo.

However, some peoplealso expressed concern thatreopening multiplexes mightincrease the positive cases ofCovid-19 in the State. "Whenthe covid patients are contin-uously increasing in the State,why is it important to reopencinema halls which mightcause contagion? Most of thepeople will definitely avoiadwatching movies with 30-40people in a cinema hall amidthe current pandemic even ifthe social distancing protocolis followed. It is not going toprofit the owners of theseplaces anyway but it will sure-ly increase the risk of conta-gion. I will not let any of myfamily members visit cinemahalls at least before next year,"said a homemaker fromRudrapur, Sandhya Panu.Talking about the prepara-tions to resume the the cine-ma halls and safety, the man-agement of the cinema hallsand multiplexes in Dehradun

stated that they are prepared toopen the cinema halls whilefollowing all the necessaryprotocols to prevent Covid-19contagion. The manager ofNew Empire Cinema in RajpurRoad, Kulwant Singh statedthat every person entering thebuilding will go through ther-mal screening, must wearmasks and use sanitisers andit will be ensured that everyprotocol would followed forthe safety of people. "Therewould be ample space amongall the people inside the cine-ma hall as per the guidelinesand other changes will bedone as per the necessity foreveryone's safety inside thepremises," added Singh.

According to the manag-er of PVR Cinemas inDehradun, Manoj Bisht, themanagement is all ready toreopen the multiplex formovies from October 15 andall the necessary precautionswill be taken for the safety ofemployees as well as the pub-lic in the premises.

Hydropower proliferationin the name of ‘clean

energy’ has severely impact-ed existing land-use, dis-turbed forest biodiversity andfragmented the forest land-scape in the remote, ecologi-cally vulnerable KinnaurDivision of Himachal Pradeshin the fragi le WesternHimalayas.

The findings are part ofthe study titled “Mitigation orMyth? Impacts ofHydropower Developmentand Compensator yAfforestat ion on forestecosystems in the highHimalayas”. The study, con-ducted between 2012 and2016 and its findings appear-ing in the latest issue of ‘LandUse Policy’ journal, alsofound fault with the relatedcompensatory afforestationplantations.

E n v i r o n m e n t a l i s t sManshi Asher and PrakashBhandari, associated with theHimdhara EnvironmentResearch and ActionCollective, in their study saidthat they found that of the

area of ‘forest land’ diverted tonon-forest activities between1980 and 2014, 90 per centwas transferred for hydro-electric projects (HEP) andtransmission lines (TL), lead-ing to change in land-use,fragmentation of forests andloss of biodiversity in thevulnerable Kinnaur region.

“We found that the ‘com-pensatory afforestation’, car-ried out as a ‘mitigation’ mea-sure for loss of forests and amandatory condition for for-est clearance for forest diver-sion has not been able to ful-fil its stated objective and fur-ther, maybe leading to changein composition of forests.

“While plantation workwas undertaken only in 12per cent of the proposed areathis was ridden with issueslike abysmally low presenceof surviving saplings (upto 10per cent) interspecies con-flict, infringement on localland usage, and vulnerability

to disasters ,” said theresearchers.

The study also criticallyexamines the role of state-ledinstitutions and global greengrowth policies in drivingand legitimizing these devel-opments in the name of ‘mit-igation’, ultimately causingmore harm to fragile localecosystems and communi-ties dependent on these.

Moreover, these planta-tions may be causing furthernegative impacts like inter-sp ec ies conf l ic t andencroachment on local forestaccess and use, noted theresearchers. They have nowsought an independent,holistic and multidiscipli-nary inquiry into the impactsof these interventions andhighlight “the need to con-front the current notion of‘mitigation’, the costs ofwhich are being transferredto vulnerable ecosystems andpeople dependent on them.”

If everything goes as per plan,India might have an effective

Covid-19 vaccine by early nextyear but the initial availabilityof doses will not be enough forthe entire population in thecountry, All India Institute ofMedical Sciences (AIIMS)Director Dr Randeep Guleriasaid on Friday.

“It is hard to say when avaccine will be available in thecountry and that it depends ona lot of factors - from the ongo-ing trials to the effectiveness ofthe vaccine against Covid-19infections.

“If all things go as planned,the vaccine could be availablein the market by early nextyear,” the AIIMS director saideven as global experts in a sur-vey conducted by researchersat McGill University in Canadasaid that an effective vaccine isnot likely to be available for thegeneral public by June nextyear.

Highlighting the next bigchallenge after the vaccine isready, Guleria said, “The sec-ond challenge after the vaccineis deemed effective is produc-tion and distribution on sucha large scale.”

When asked how theCovid vaccine will be distrib-

uted among Indians consider-ing the shortfall, the AIIMSdirector said discussions on thematter have already startedand indicated that “vaccineprioritisation” model will befollowed.

Explaining the model,Guleria said those groups withthe highest risks will be pri-oritised over others.

“There are two groups thatwill be prioritised. Those whohave a higher risk of infectionincluding healthcare workersand other corona warriors.And those who have higherchances of mortality,” Guleriasaid.

“If we prepare a priority listand follow it effectively, thenthe vaccine distribution can bedone equitably.”

When asked how doctorswill determine the long-termeffects of the vaccine, DrGuleria said that the phase 1,2 and 3 human trials of the vac-cine are being conducted par-allelly to “compress” the timeneed to study it.

In this process, the long-term side effects can also bestudied over a comparativelyshorter period of time, he said.“And people who receive thevaccine after it is available willalso be closely monitored todetermine if they are facing anylong-term side-effects,” he said.

In good news to personswith disabilities for mobil-

ities, particularly those fromthe poor strata needingmotorised tr icycle, theDepartment of Empowermentof Persons with Disabilities(DEPwD) under the UnionSocial Justice andEmpowerment Ministry hasdecided to bear the entire costof the vehicle.

In other words, the ben-eficiary does not have toscout for the cost difference of�12,000, which is almost one-third of the total cost ofmotorised tricycle, eitherfrom his own resources orfrom MP/MLA funds.Needing to bear the cost dif-ference used to deprive themof getting the tricycle underthe Assistance to DisabledPersons for Purchase/Fittingof Aids & Appliances Scheme(ADIP Scheme) of theMinistry.

However, recently the(DEPwD) submitted before aParliamentary Panel on SocialJustice and Welfare that it

intends to bear the entirecost of the motorized tricycleto be provided under theADIP scheme.

The Department’s deci-sion came following repeatedrecommendations from theparliamentary panels in thepast.

“The Committee noteswith satisfaction that theDepartment has nowexpressed its intent to complywith the Committee’s longpending demand and wouldconsider it during appraisal of

the ADIP Scheme. “TheCommittee strongly recom-mends that the issue be pre-sented for approval during thesaid appraisal and all the pro-cedural prerequisites for revi-sion of cost norms be readiedin right earnestness. TheCommittee desires to beapprised of the progress madein this regard,” said the reportsubmitted in the Parliamentrecently.

A large number of bene-ficiaries come from poor anddeprived sections of the soci-

ety and are not in a positionto meet the cost difference.This negates the benefit whichis provided by the govern-ment in the form of two-thirdportion of the cost of tricycle,said the panel headed by LokSabha MP Rama Devi.

As the next financial yearis approaching now, theCommittee is optimistic thatthe Department would sin-cerely take up this issue andbring it to the desired con-clusion to mitigate the plightof PwDs in need of motorizedtricycle, said the report.

The United NationsConvention on the Rights ofPersons with Disabilities,which India ratified in 2007,talks about the right to per-sonal mobility for personswith disabilities. State partiesare supposed to facilitateaccess to quality mobilityaids, devices, assistive tech-nologies and forms of liveassistance and intermediaries(like personal assistants, inter-preters and service animals),including by making themavailable at affordable cost, asper the Convention.

When the Rights of Personswith Disabilities

(RPWD) Act, 2016 came intoenforcement, the persons withmultiple sclerosis (MS) werehopeful of leading a dignifiedand less agonised life, given thatdisability was brought under itsambit.

However, much to theirdisappointment, despite fouryears into the Act came intobeing, the sector has realised thatit does not ensure them disabil-ity certificates on ground. Thereare systemic barriers such asnon-availability of neurologistsin the assessment panel, makingthem wait in long lines in theextreme hot or cold weather(making their symptoms worse).

Not ready to give up, thestakeholders in the sector, underNGO Multiple Sclerosis Societyof India (MSSI), have nowlaunched a campaign#ReassessMS, seeking re-assess-ment of the MS guidelines underthe RPWD Act to make it moreinclusive.

The assessment guidelinescurrently directly address the

benchmark disability caused byPrimary progressive MS.

“However, primary pro-gressive MS is only 15 per centof worldwide cases of S. As aresult the MS persons are find-ing it difficult to get the certifi-cates. People don’t know aboutMS, they know about cancer andHIV, but not so much aboutMS”, pointed out RenukaMalaker, National Secretary,MSSI.

We don’t have data for Indiaand there is also a stigma, espe-cially towards women, she saidadding there are many cases

where people get divorced afterthey are diagnosed.

“MS affects mostly womenin the age group of 20-35,” shepointed out. The RPWD Actdoes not take into consideration‘Remitting Relapsing’ type of MSwhich might have invisible dis-ability such as motor and sen-sory impairment, speech, blad-der and bowel dysfunction,fatigue or depression

The certificate would enti-tle the PMS to educationalscholarship schemes, rebate inincome tax, reservation inGovernment jobs, free travel in

state buses, loans for setting upbusinesses and more.

“If a person, who is com-pletely normal, suddenly hassevere seizures, numbness,blindness or other neurologicalissues, the chances of them hav-ing MS is really high. It is cru-cial to take an MRI to find outwhich part of the brain is affect-ed,” said Dr M Netravathi, asenior neurologist fromNIMHANS.

Bipasha Gupta , chairpersonof MSSI, Delhi said, expandedDisability Status Scale (EDSS) isa method of quantifying dis-ability in MS. “This certificatefrom a Neuro Doctor should beenough for availing Disabilitycertificate during assessment,”she stressed.

Seeking to allay concerns offarmers over a new set of

legislations amid continuingprotests by Opposition parties,Union Minister of State forWater Resources and SocialJustice and EmpowermentRatanlal Kataria has said thatthat there will be a four-foldincrease in per capita incomein the next 10 years in thecountry due to these Bills.

Hitting out at Congressand other Opposition parties,he said they are trying to cre-ate misunderstandings aboutthe farm bills passed byParliament. He also attackedCongress for the burning of atractor by protesters from theiryouth wing.

Kataria said the UPA gov-ernment could not do anythingabout these legislations duringits tenure. Now, when the NDAGovernment has passed thesebills for agricultural reforms ,they have started opposition,which is completely baselessand meaningless. He accused theOpposition of creating a mis-understanding among peopleabout the minimum supportprice (MSP) mechanism and themandi system and categorical-ly said that both will stay.

“As a result of the three billspassed in terms of agrarianreforms and labour reforms,directly and indirectly the cur-rent per capita income in thecountry will increase upto10,000 USD dollars in the nextfive years from present percapita income 2500 USD,” headded.

A“minor” explosion wasreported at a 370 MW gas

power plant of the state-runKarnataka Power CorporationLtd in Bengaluru early onFriday, leaving 15 personsinjured, including two critical-ly, an official said.

Speaking to IANS,Karnataka state Fire andEmergency Services DirectorK. Shiva Kumar said that theblast occurred in the KPCL'sCombined Cycle Power Plantin Yelahanka at around 3 a.m.on Friday while engineers werecarrying out tests in a gas tur-bine chamber.

“The plant was supposed tocommence its operations inDecember. All day, they hadtested. But when they were test-ing, variations in pressure wereobserved. This incidentoccurred when KPCL engi-neers were conducting severalchecks to test the turbine,” heexplained.

According to him, soonafter the incident took place,the KPCL had already sta-tioned two fire tenders, andalso sought the help of the RailWheel Factory, which has a

foam tender there.Before the fire services

reached the spot, they were tak-ing precautionary steps toextinguish fire, he added.

District Fire officer,Kishore, told IANS that theyreceived a call from the plant at3.30 a.m., and fire fightersrushed to the spot.

“Four fire tenders, twowater pumps and two onefoam tender were rushed to thespot, along with senior officials,including the Director. TheRail Wheel Factory had imme-diately rushed one foam tenderfrom its side, but we did not useit,” he said.

Kishore said that thedepartment used foam tenderto extinguish fire. “This was amedium range fire incident...had it not been controlled intime, it had the potential tocause a major loss,” he said.

He added that the prima-ry reason was an electric shortcircuit that resulted in theminor explosion where oil wasstored.

A highly-placed source,who was present at the scene,said that there was a snag in thefunctioning of the turbine dueto high pressure, which result-

ed in the heat blast.“The chamber is fully auto-

matic. Chances of a fire acci-dent are minimal in this cham-ber. The turbine functions onthree important materials -natural gas that is used to heatand convert water intosteam. Thus converted steam

helps to rotate turbines to pro-duce electricity. Lastly, oilpumps used as coolant as tur-bines produce high tempera-ture heat.

“During one of such exper-iments, due to high pressure,the oil supply pipe opened upand due to heat and presenceof natural gas, it producedhighly combustible heat flamewhich caused the blast, injur-ing 15 engineers who wereworking there,” the sourceexplained.

The source further addedthat though the entire chamberis automatic, there is need toknow how it has failed.

“The entire turbine cham-ber is automatic. And it is self-efficient to extinguish any fireon its own, as the moment, fireand heat sensors send signals,CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas ispumped automatically to putout the fire,” he said.

Nine people, including threewomen, were arrested by

the Assam police for lynchingtwo persons including awoman on suspicion of “witch-craft”, police said on Friday.

Superintendent of PoliceDebojit Deuri said that twopersons, including a woman,were hacked to death, behead-ed and set afire by a mob oversuspicion of practising witch-craft (black magic) in CentralAssam's Karbi Anglong district.

“On suspicion of witch-

craft a mob lynched RamawatiHalua, 50 and Bijoy Gour, 45,following the death of a teenagegirl in Rohimapur village underDokmoka police station areaearlier this week,” the districtpolice chief told the media.

After the death of theteenage girl in Rohimapur,another girl in the same villagealso accused the duo of per-forming 'black magic' on her,leading to her falling sick.

According to the police,after the illness of the secondgirl, the agitated villagers killedthe duo and took their bodies

to a nearby hill before behead-ing the bodies near a burial siteand setting them afire.

Police continued theirsearch to nab the remainingaccused involved in the mur-der, which took place on theintervening night ofWednesday and Thursday.

The Rohimapur village isdominated by the Adivasi (ortea tribe).

Witchcraft (black magic),an unscientific social belief,claims a dozen lives in Assam'stea belt and tribal areas everyyear on an average.

Gandhinagar: Gujarat Leaderof Opposition Paresh Dhananiwho was detained by theAmreli police on Friday forholding a protest demandingtotal school fee waiver by thegovernment, reiterated hisdemands and continued his'dharna' inside the police lock-up.

He said he will continue toprotest demanding total feewaiver even if he is hanged forthe sake of 1.5 crore students.

The Congress has beendemanding total school feewaiver in the wake of theCovid outbreak due to whichschools were shutdown andeducation was imparted

through digital mode.“Why did the Gujarat gov-

ernment announce only a 25per cent cut in school fee whenthe Gujarat High Court had leftthe decision on the governmentto decide on the school feeissue? When the schools havenot been functional, why levyschool fees at all? The govern-ment is sitting in the lap of pri-vate educational institutes andacting on their behalf. TheGujarat government shouldwaive the entire term fee ofmore than 1.5 crore students ofthe state and arrange for thesalaries of the private schoolteachers,” said Paresh Dhanani. IANS

Amaravati: Andhra PradeshChief Minister Y.S. JaganMohan Reddy initiated theprocess of distributing landthrough Recognition of ForestRight (RoFR) to 1.53 lakh trib-als from 3 lakh acres of forestland on Friday.

Reddy launched the distri-bution of documents (pattas)through a video conferenceon the occasion of MahatmaGandhi's birth anniversary.

Each of the eligible tribalswill get ownership of at leasttwo acres of land, which will bedistributed through digitizedsurveys.

Reddy saw the problems

the tribals faced during hismore than 3,000 km padayatraand promised to help them.

“Tribals kept waiting allthese years, fighting for theirrights. For the last ten years(2009 to 2019), the previousgovernments did not take anysteps to address their griev-ances. Today, we fulfilled thepromise and made sure thatthese tribals get their land,” saidReddy.

The government will alsodistribute pattas to DKT lands,other than the forest landswhich are also cultivated bythem.

As many as 19,919 tribal

families are set to benefit from31,155 acres of DKT lands.

He said the state govern-ment would also provide finan-cial assistance to the tribals tocultivate crops.

Deputy Chief Minister andTribal Welfare Minister PamulaPushpa Sreevani said Reddy isgiving more land to tribalsthan what his late father andformer Chief Minister Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy had distrib-uted.

“While YSR (Reddy'sfather) gave RoFR pattas for1.30 lakh acres of land to56,000 tribals in the past, thisgovernment, under the leader-

ship of CM Jagan, will distrib-ute pattas for nearly 3 lakhacres to 1.53 lakh beneficiaries,”she said.

Likewise, Sreevani said thegovernment has deposited Rs2,136 crore into the bankaccounts of 18.4 lakh tribalsunder 15 welfare schemes suchas rythu bharosa, pension,vahana mitra, ammavodi andvidya deevena in the past oneyear.

“The government is takingevery initiative to improve theliving standards of tribals andsetting up educational institu-tions and health facilities forthem,” she said.

Besides RoFR, Reddy hasalso laid the foundation stonefor a tribal engineering collegeat Kurupam, a medical collegein Paderu and also seven superspecialty hospitals under theIntegrated Tribal DevelopmentAgency (ITDA).

“Aiming to provide bettereducation facilities in the trib-al areas, we have taken variousmeasures in setting up a med-ical college which will be builtat Paderu at a cost of Rs 500crore, said the CM.

He said work on the tribalengineering college inKurupam village will also startsoon. IANS

How many peopleremembered onSeptember 26 (lastSaturday) that it wasthe 200th birth

anniversary of IshvarchandraVidyasagar — as the correct Englishrendering of his name, as spelt inBengali, would be? One of thegreatest Indians ever born, muchhas been written about his contri-butions as a scholar, educationist,social reformer and writer. Asearly as 1841, Sanskrit College —now Sanskrit College andUniversity — in Kolkata (thenCalcutta), had conferred upon himthe honorific title of Vidyasagar(Ocean of Learning) for his vastknowledge of classical Sanskrittexts and philosophy. He wrote twobooks on Sanskrit Grammar —Samagra Byakaran Kaumudi andUpakramonika — in Bengali, andtranslated several books fromSanskrit into Bengali.

Instead of seeking laurels forhimself, he dedicated his life tospreading education. In 1864,Calcutta Training School, estab-lished by Thakurdas Chakrabortyin 1859, came to be known as theMetropolitan Institution, which, inturn, was subsequently recognisedby the University of Calcutta (NowKolkata) as an affiliated college —the first Indian-managed privateinstitution to be given this status.Saradaranjan Ray, a great mathe-matician whose exploits as a bats-man led him to be called “WGGrace of Bengal”, was an early prin-cipal; Surendranath Banerjee, stal-wart national leader and a founderof the Indian National Congress,was a teacher. The institution,which owed its remarkable growthand expansion mainly to the tire-less efforts of Isvarchandra, wasnamed Vidyasagar College in 1917.

An educationist described byRabindranath Tagore as Bengal’sfirst Shikshaguru (preceptor ofeducation), Vidyasagar had alsoopened schools in villages becausehe believed that sans education thecountry could neither progressnor become independent. His spe-cial emphasis was on children’s andwomen’s education. Even now,many children learn the alphabetsand the fundamentals of Bengalilanguage from his primerBornoporichoy (Introduction toLetters) first published in 1855. HisKathamala (Garland of Stories) isperhaps the best-known collectionof folk tales — each with a moral

message — for children.Compiled from several Englishsources, Bodhoday (Dawn ofUnderstanding) was meant toinitiate the readers, particularlyboys and girls, into a rational sys-tem of knowledge, providingbasic ideas about animate andinanimate objects, vegetation,humankind, the senses, shapesand forms of objects, countingnumerals, buying and selling,monetary systems and proper-ty and labour.

His efforts to promotewomen’s education, manifestedamong other things in the open-ing of a number of schools forthem, was based on his firmbelief that women were equal tomen but suffered grave injusticesand inequalities. This, he felt,had to be fought. His unflaggingstruggle for legalising widowremarriage, in support of whichhe cited Hindu scriptural texts,particularly the Parasarsanghitaand the Manusanghita, led to thepassage of the Hindu Widows’Remarriage Act (Act XV) onJuly 16, 1856. His exertions ledto the enactment of the FemaleInfanticide Prevention Act (ActVIII) on March 18, 1870, and theAge of Consent Act (ACT X) onMarch 19, 1891. The title of thefirst of the above two Actsspeaks for itself; the second,passed a little more than sixmonths before his death, raisedthe minimum marriageable ageof girls from 10 to 12 years. His

best efforts failed to get an Actenacted for banning hyperga-mous polygamy, especially of theKulin Pratha or the Kulin sys-tem. Under it, descendants of thefive Brahmin families fromKannauj, brought to Bengal atthe time of king Laxman Sen(1178-1206), commanded greatvalue in the marriage marketand had numerous wives, someof them mere girls. But themoral stigma the evil acquired,thanks to the campaign led byVidyasagar, tapered it down toan end.

Vidyasagar was a rationalhumanist whose cerebral psychewent with limitless compassionand a generosity of spirit thatinstinctively prompted him tohelp out the straitened and suf-fering. This had led him to becalled “Karunasagar” or “DayarSagar” (both meaning an Oceanof kindness) — KarunasagarVidyasagar is the title of IndraMitra’s well-researched biogra-phy of him — by public acclaim.The cue perhaps came from thefamous poem dedicated to himby Michael Madhusudan Duttwhom he had bailed out whenthe iconic Bengali poet was insevere financial distress.

It would be worthwhile toquote the first four lines of thepoem rendered in English alpha-bet for this column: “Vidyarsagar tumi bikhyato Bharate/Karunar shindhu tumi, shei janemone,/ Deen je, deener bondhu!

Ujwal jagate/ Hemadrir hem-kanti, amlan kirone.” Its roughEnglish translation would be,“You are famous in India as anOcean of Learning/ That you arean Ocean of Kindness is known/Only to the poor, friend of thePoor! Shining worldwide/ In theunfading golden light of thegolden mountain.”

Vidyasagar wrote the firstdefinitive grammar that gaveform, structure and a highlySanskritised but intelligible andfluent mode of expression to theBengali language. Earlier, the lat-ter was used mainly inChandidas’ songs on the lovebetween Radha and Krishna,Krishnadasa Kaviraja’sChaitanya Charanamrita, ahagiography on the life of themedieval saint, ChaitanyaMahaprabhu, versified rendi-tions of the Mahabharata andthe Ramayana in Bengali byKashiram Das and KrittibasOjha respectively, Ramprasad’sdevotional songs,Bharatchandra’s poetry andRamram Basu’s prose.

The groundwork laid byVidyasagar was built upon bythe chaste literary language ofBankimchandra Chattopadhyay,the distinct style evolved byRabindranath Tagore, the use ofcolloquial Bengali by PearyChand Mitra, author of AlalerGharer Dulal (A WealthyFamily’s Pampered Boy), andthe easy prose of KaliprasannaSingha’s Hutom PyancharNaksha (Sketch by the Owl),both, in their own ways satiricaldepictions of affluent mid-19thcentury Kolkata, andUpendrakishore Ray’s simplelanguage meant for children.The result of the interactiveand mutually influencing stylesand forms led to the emergenceof Bengali as a powerful medi-um of complex and varied artic-ulation in diverse areas likecriticism, analysis and argu-mentation.

An important result of thiswas the emergence of the essayboth as a literary format and atool of discourse. BesidesRabindranath Tagore andBankimchandra Chattopadhyay,its two other important expo-nents were Akshay Kumar Boraland Ramendra Sundar Tribedi.Vidyasagar’s two tracts support-ing widow remarriage were out-standing pieces, which weremore in the nature of longessays than books. It was not justthe essay. The evolved Bengalilanguage made possible the pro-duction of path-breaking worksin it in social, political, philo-sophical, theological and cultur-al domains, which made a sig-nificant contribution to theunfolding of the BengalRenaissance.

Like the European

Renaissance, which stretchedfrom the late 14th to the late 18thcentury, the Bengal Renaissance,which had unfolded from thefirst half of the 19th century andwaned gradually in the firsthalf of the 20th, was the resultof a multiplicity of factors — thecoming of British rule; the intro-duction of Western educationthrough the medium of theEnglish language; the creation ofa strong zamindari systemthrough the implementation ofPermanent Settlement; the riseof a trading class from the ranksof the banyas (agents) of the EastIndia Company and its ser-vants, who and others benefit-ted from the expansion of tradeand commerce under Britishrule; and the rise of a growingbureaucracy to cater to theadministrative needs of the EastIndia Company’s expandingregime.

A critically important factorwas the emergence of theBhadralok. In Elite Conflict in aPlural Society: Twentieth CenturyBengal, JH Broomfield hasdescribed the Bhadralok as “asocially privileged and con-sciously superior group, eco-nomically dependent on landedrents and professional and cler-ical employment.” He carefullydistinguished between theBhadralok and the middle class.According to him, the Bhadralokwere upper and not middleclass, if class was taken as a sta-tus group after Talcott Parsons.For the category did not includemany middle-class elements inthe Marxian sense of the latterbeing an economic group, whileencompassing persons fromboth higher and lower classes.

As a status group, theBhadralok constituted an elite,which, in turn encompassedseveral elites comprising land-lords, businessmen, governmentemployees as well as profession-als like lawyers, doctors, andteachers. They became flag bear-ers of the Bengal Renaissancethrough not only their person-al achievements but contributionto processes like the spread ofeducation which extended thereach of the Renaissance. Theirrole in this context was muchgreater than that of Europe’semerging bourgeoisie in further-ing the European Renaissance.

The many-splendouredachievements of the BengalRenaissance transformed theprovince’s intellectual life andwas instrumental to the adventof modernity in Bengal, andthen India. Vidyasagar’s strivingsin multiple fields were a signif-icant factor in its waxing. He wasone of the greatest Indians whoever lived.

�����������Sir — Exonerating all the 32accused, including LK Advani,earlier indicted by the CBI forconspiracy to demolish the BabriMasjid, the special court has notonly disappointed the peoplewho expected justice but has alsovetoed the Supreme Court’srecognition of the demolition ofthe mosque as an “egregious vio-lation of the rule of law”. This ismore so, when the learned judgewent to the extent of quoting ver-batim the fallacious theory advo-cated by the BJP, RashtriyaSwayamsevak Sangh (RSS) andVishva Hindu Parishad (VHP)combine, that the demolition wasa “spontaneous act” and not apre-planned criminal act tostrengthen his decision to acquitall the accused.

While the motive behind therath yatra undertaken by Advaniwas crystal clear, when everydevotee was advised to send abrick each for the new temple tobe constructed on the disputedsite, the verdict of the specialcourt defies all logic. TheSupreme Court should interveneand in the rightful constitution-al spirit ensure justice.

� ���������Sir — The Government hasannounced the opening of cin-ema halls and multiplexes fromOctober 15. Given the capacityof the halls, maintaining socialdistancing would be a huge chal-lenge even with 50 per cent seat-ing. Keeping the current situationin mind, since most of the book-ings, especially in big cities, are

made online, alternate seats canbe left unsold. Strict proceduresneed to be enforced during theintervals and also ensuring thesame while entering or exitingthe movie halls. Maintainingthe crowd would require someskill from the staff members, whoshould be properly trained forthe present circumstances. Theresponsibility equally lies on themovie-goers. They should strict-

ly follow COVID protocols, thus,ensuring that the process isseamless.

���������� ���Sir — Congress leaders RahulGandhi and Priyanka GandhiVadra were detained on thehighway between Delhi and

Uttar Pradesh as they headed toHathras to meet the family of thegang-rape victim. Rahul allegedthat he was lathi-charged andpushed when he and PriyankaGandhi started marching aftertheir convoy was stopped by theUP Police. In visuals, too, he wasseen resisting policemen whowere trying to stop him. He wasbeing pushed around in thechaos due to which he lost hisbalance and fell on the ground.So, was it wrong for theOpposition to visit the victim’sfamily or was it a sheer displayof power by the UPGovernment? With the nationenraged over the rising genderand caste violence in UP, the StateGovernment is under attack forbeing negligent to the oppressionof Dalits. The ongoing nation-wide attack on Opposition lead-ers, liberal thinkers, activists andstudent leaders has only provedthat the current Government isusing State police to further itspolitical agenda and crush dis-sent. It is time it stops armtwisting the police to do itsdirty work.

The recently-passed three farm laws — theEssential Commodities (Amendment) Act,the Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce

(Promotion and Facilitation) Act and Farmers(Empowerment and Protection) Agreement onPrice Assurance and Farm Services Act — have cat-apulted India’s agricultural sector into nationalnews. The three Act, which have received both par-liamentary and presidential assent, ostensibly seekto change the condition of the beleaguered farm-ers for the better. However, the Acts have run intorough weather in a short span of time as the farm-ing community does not seem to agree with theGovernment’s views.

However, the fact of the matter is that on paper,they allow the farmers to sell their produce out-side the APMCs without paying any necessarytaxes to the Government. The Farmers(Empowerment and Protection) Agreement onPrice Assurance and Farm Services Act on theother hand facilitates contract farming and directmarketing. The Essential Commodities(Amendment) Act deregulates the production,storage, movement and sale of several major fooditems such as cereals, pulses, edible oils, onion andso on. With major changes pertaining to the wayagricultural produce is marketed, sold and stored,the Government maintains that these Acts willimprove the conditions of the farmers.

However, the farmer community across Indiaseems to think otherwise and one of the main con-cerns of the growers is the ambiguity regarding con-tinued protection of the Minimum Support Price(MSP) and Government procurement of the pro-duce. The farmers also want the MSP regime tobe extended outside the APMC market so that theMSP is observed as a minimum floor price,whether the farmer chooses to sell to a private buyeror a Government one. Adding to the dissent againstthe Acts is the tussle between the Centre and Statesas some non-BJP ruled States have pointed out thatagriculture is a State subject and the Centre hasno locus-standi to take a decision on the same.Amid protests by farmers’ organisations across thecountry, the Governments of Chhattisgarh,Maharashtra and Punjab have said they might notimplement the new laws while Kerala and Punjabintend to challenge them in the Supreme Court.In fact, Congress MP from Kerala, Prathapan TN,has already done so.

As the debate rages regarding the Acts andtheir impact on growers, one cannot help but noticehow many other issues plaguing the farmers arebeing ignored. Marginal farmers with small tractsof land are possibly the worst affected as they nei-ther have the quantum produce nor the financialmuscle to bypass low-balled offers on their pro-duce and wait for better quotes. These marginalfarmers are not directly benefitted by these Actsas they are not extricated from the vice-like gripof the money lenders. It is these entities who mostof the time are the reason why growers end theirlives as they are unable to come out of the never-ending debt cycle. The Acts may have all the goodintentions of the Government behind them butthey may also usher in bigger private players withconsiderable financial heft into the agricultural pro-duce market dynamics. This may further dimin-ish the say of the marginal farmers whose nego-tiating powers would get eclipsed by the dealingsbetween big buyers and big producers.

The architects of these farm “reforms” seemto have entirely missed the medium and smallfarmers and their woes. The National CrimeRecords Bureau (NCRB) statistics show that in2019 about 10,000 farmers committed suicide due

to agrarian distress. This colossal loss oflife is not an issue to gloss over especial-ly when a national policy with lastingimpact is being drafted. But that is whathas happened.

Instead of strengthening the middleand lower rung farmers with a slew ofspecial measures aimed at stemming thesuicide rates and instilling confidence, theActs actually direct their attentiontowards making the playing field moresuitable for bigger players while margin-alising small stakeholders further. Howthese apparent woes of the small farm-ers escaped the Government’s attentionis unclear.

Through these Acts, theGovernment is not only trying to bringdown its financial costs by gradually lim-iting the MSP but also driving down stor-age costs at the Food Corporation ofIndia (FCI) warehouses. However, themarginal farmers are becoming unwit-ting pawns in this cost-cutting processas they are staring at the major possibil-ity of the MSP going down on one handand negotiating as equals with big cor-porates on the other hand. More likelythan not the small farmers will be dic-tated terms by the big players on a “takeit or leave it basis.”

Yet another hurdle facing the farm-ers is their lack of education and aware-ness, which stops them from organisingthemselves into a meaningful forum thatcan put forward their opinion in onevoice. As a result, this hard-working com-munity that forms the spine of India fallsprey to dodgy schemes of political par-ties which aim at leveraging their suffer-ing for personal gain. A more intriguingaspect of this entire episode is the speedwith which these Bills went through thedraft stage and approval in a remarkablyshort time, including presidential assent.

The moot question in such a situa-tion is why were the farmers not giventime to respond and convey their con-

cerns? Is this the way a Government ina large democracy like ours should takedecisions regarding a sector which is themainstay of our economy? Becauseabout 60 per cent of our populationdepend directly or indirectly on agricul-ture and contribute about 16 per cent tothe country’s Gross Domestic Product.Plus, the farm sector provides raw mate-rials to the major industries and Indiaearns foreign exchange by exporting agri-cultural products. So, would it not havebeen prudent to involve all the stakehold-ers before bringing in these Acts? Onlythe Government can answer these ques-tions.

The farm reforms were a greatopportunity to provide a much-neededbalance to the Indian crop calendarbesides ensuring protection of the envi-ronment. The choice of crops over timein the country has become lopsided ingrowers’ preference for a certain catego-ry of crops that are water-intensive. Thishas not only resulted in unequal prosper-ity among the farming community butis also contributing to environmentaldegradation and water shortage.

There is an urgent need to divert theefforts and the precious finances of thefarmers towards other non-water inten-sive crops so that the excess productionof rice, sugar and wheat is adequatelycounterbalanced with non-water inten-sive crops such as pulses and oilseedswhose reserves are noticeably less.

Too much focus on water-intensivecrops such as paddy and wheat over thepast decades has resulted in the Indianagricultural system drawing nearly 89 percent of the ground water. To make mat-ters worse, the provision of incentivesfrom the Government in the form of freeelectricity has resulted in over-exploita-tion of ground water and has put thecountry’s future water security in majorjeopardy. The subsidised canal waterfacilities provided by the Government

have added to the problem. The fact that water-intensive crops

such as paddy and wheat consumenearly 10 times the water needed foroilseed and pulse crops and around 500-600 litres of water is required to produceone kilogram of grain has to be takenseriously. This extreme consumption isinadvisable for the environment whichis struggling to bridge the gap betweendemand and supply of precious waterresources that are increasingly becomingstressed. In order to diversify cropchoice, protect natural resources andensure environmental resilience, theGovernment must set up policies that,instead of depending on the pricesbased on the previous year’s productionperiod, are based on the MSP that isbacked by enough procurement. This willenable the farmers to take acreage deci-sions based on the MSP rather than bas-ing their decisions on last year’s prices.For this precise reason, the MSP is crit-ical and the fact that it might get impact-ed due to the farm Acts is an unsettlingaspect.

Government policy plays an impor-tant role in providing much-needed con-fidence to farmers, be it in the form ofextending stable prices, assured procure-ment or weeding out bottlenecks pertain-ing to finances. An efficiently-drafted andimplemented policy can also safeguardthe environment by rationalising the useof natural resources and curbing theirexploitation.

The three farm Acts have put thespotlight on the agri-sector which isbesieged by challenges for farmers andimplications for the environment. TheActs could have provided innovative eco-logical solutions for the farm sectorbesides seeking to solve some of thechronic problems facing the Indiangrowers. Sadly, this has not happened.

The International FinanceCorporation (IFC), a member ofthe World Bank, in its report

released late last year offered a ray ofhope amid the threat posed by climatechange. It pointed out that by 2030, inemerging markets like India alone,green buildings will offer a $24.7 tril-lion investment opportunity, which willspur economic growth and acceleratesustainable development.

The study further said that greenbuildings can be a strong driver of eco-nomic growth, generating upwards ofnine million skilled jobs in both the

renewable and construction sectors by2030. Currently, green buildingsaccount for just eight per cent of theconstruction and renovation sector,indicating a vast potential for growth.

“The floor area of the buildingsthat dot our skylines is expected to dou-ble by 2060,” noted Alzbeta Klein,Director of Climate Business at IFC.“Green construction is one of thelargest investment opportunities of thenext decade that can spur low-carboneconomic growth and create skilledjobs for decades to come.”

India is no exception and the IFCestimates a $1.4 trillion opportunity forthe country. A whopping $1.25 trillionin the residential sector and $228 bil-lion in the commercial one, given thatbuildings in the two segments accountfor 30 per cent of the energy consump-tion, which is expected to zoom to 48per cent by 2042. It is estimated thatIndia will have a shortfall of three croreadditional housing units by 2022.

Having committed to cut downemissions as envisioned in the Paris

Agreement on climate change, Indiashould have no choice but to promotegreen buildings. Experts say that theGovernment’s “Housing for All by2022” scheme, which envisages con-struction of one crore homes by 2022,can be a game changer. Provided theGovernment seriously looks into it.

“These homes will be made usingconventional building techniques andan energy consumption of 21 millionunits per year and massive CO2 emis-sion of 17 million tonnes per year willbe recorded,” says Ajay Jaiswal, Head,Compliance, IIFL Home Finance. “Wecan change this through green afford-able housing. Therefore, it would notbe wrong to call green affordablehousing the alternative face of India’s‘Housing for All by 2022’ mission,” headds.

Some State Governments, includ-ing West Bengal, Rajasthan, Punjab,Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, HimachalPradesh, Jharkhand and Maharashtra(Pune) are offering additional FloorArea Ratio (FAR) ranging from five to

15 per cent for the Indian GreenBuilding Council’s (IGBC’s) silver,gold and platinum-rated projects toboost green housing.

However, this is not enough.While financial and lending institutionsin developed nations are giving fundsin a big way to developers and buyersin the green sector, India is still at anascent stage as far as financing greenbuildings is considered.

“Green real estate has not receivedthe much-needed attention by investorsdue to several market barriers such aslack of awareness about the greencomponent and limited financial prod-ucts and instruments,” says ShreyansJain, Consultant, Asian DevelopmentBank.

Sameer Maithal, from GreentechKnowledge Solutions, a clean energyresearch and advisory firm, concurs,“India has worked a bit in the finan-cial market in the green housing sec-tor. For instance, the State Bank of India(SBI) has signed a pact with theGerman development bank KFW

while the National Housing Bank(NHB) has one with the AgenceFrancise de Development (AFD) undera borrowing programme SUNREF(Sustainable Use of Natural Resourcesand Energy Finance). But these are justpilot programmes. There are no reg-ular products which are available.”

Though the SBI launched itsGreen Home Loan scheme in 2009, notmuch progress has been reported as itdoes not look so lucrative to prospec-tive home buyers. Experts are of theopinion that there is no major changein the features of the existing home loanproducts except for the five per centconcession in margin, 0.25 per cent cutin interest rate and waiver of the pro-cessing fee.

Similarly, the regulator for hous-ing finance companies, the NHB’sperformance in providing loans to thegreen housing sector has not beenencouraging. So far it has doled out just�300 crore out of the total kitty of �800crore in the last three years under theSUNREF to housing companies to spur

energy and environment efficiency inthe residential housing sector. “It’s aminiscule amount. In reality, the build-ing industry will go green in two ways.Either if policies are strictly implement-ed or if the end users start demandingthem. Here, finance can play a majorrole. The banks can link the rebate onloan with green certification of thebuilding project,” points out Maithel.

Jain says, “Housing loans arealready covered under the priority sec-tor lending (PSL) guidelines of the RBIand the possibility of including greenmortgage as a sub-category underPSL norms could be explored. Toincentivise property buyers, bankscould explore linking home loan inter-est rate to the star rating/certificationof the property. The higher the star rat-ing, the lower the interest rate.”

Does opting for green housingescalate the budget? Not really. Thereare numerous studies which point outthat as long as the design is appropri-ate, the additional cost of energy-effi-cient and environment-friendly build-

ings would not be more than one percent compared to a traditional build-ing. Therefore, the misconception thatgreen buildings cost more in terms ofcapital cost should be dispelled, accord-ing to experts. Like we have commit-ted finance and targets underInternational Solar Alliance, there areno serious targets for green buildings.If one goes by the Johnson Controls’ssurvey, India has only four per centgreen buildings. However, 38 per centof buildings in India want to get thegreen building certification in thefuture as compared to the global per-centage of 44, the survey points out.

Around 46 per cent people in Indiaare willing to pay a premium to leasespace in a certified green building ascompared to 51 per cent globally. Thisis a positive outlook and can be takenfurther with the right policies and push.

The Taliban has said that itdoes not feel the need for a

mediator for the Afghan peacenegotiations, adding thatresolving a 40-year conflictrequires patience instead, themedia reported.

The statement onThursday by Talibanspokesman MohammadNaeem came as US SpecialRepresentative for AfghanistanReconciliation ZalmayKhalilzad arrived in Doha,where the talks are takingplace, to “meet with partnerson Afghan-owned, Afghan-ledpeace negotiations”, TOLONews reported.

In a statement, Naeem saidthat the Afghan conflictrequires important, ongoingdiscussions, and stated thatboth sides of the negotiationsshould demonstrate patiencefor a positive outcome.

“If we hurry and expect to

resolve all the issues in 20days or a month, I think thiswill not bring us to our objec-tives.

“We will not allow anyoneto interfere in our internalaffairs,” the spokesman added.

Contact groups comprisingTaliban and Afghan govern-ment delegates have failed tofully agree on the proceduralrules. This delay has prolongedthe time before an official face-to-face talk between both nego-tiation teams is possible.

Meanwhile, Khalilzad’s tripto Doha has also sparkedmixed reactions in Kabul, saidthe TOLO News report.

“I see this stalemate as a bitartificial because we witnesseda controversy over the releaseof prisoners, but it was resolvedon the 11th of September, nowI think the solution to this issuehas been scheduled for a cer-tain date,” said Abdul KarimKhurram, former chief of staffto former President Hamid

Karzai.“This indicates that we,

the people of Afghanistan, can’treach an agreement withoutforeign pressure,” saidMohammad Alam Ezedyar,the first deputy of theMeshrano Jirga (Senate).

But critics have suggestedthat a mediator might be need-ed in the negotiations, as thecontact groups of both sides ofthe Afghan peace talks havediscussed the rules many timesover the last 20 days but havenot reached an agreement.

The procedural rules forthe negotiations have over 20articles. The two sides haveagreed on 18 of them.

According to negotiatorsfrom both sides, two articles arestill disputed: the foundation-al religious jurisprudence forthe talks, and the recognitionof February’s US-Taliban dealas the overarching authority towhich these Afghan peacenegotiations are subject.

Retail giant Walmart hasagreed to sell its British

chain of supermarkets, Asda, tothe investors behind an inter-national group of gas stationsand food shops in a deal thatvalues the company at 6.8 bil-lion pounds (USD 8.8 billion).

Brothers Mohsin andZuber Issa, along with investorsTDR Capital will acquire amajority of Asda, whileWalmart will retain a minori-ty stake and a seat of theboard, the parties said in a jointstatement issued Friday. Detailsof the deal weren’t released.

The agreement comesmore than a year after regula-tors rejected U.K. Supermarket

chain Sainsbury’s bid to acquireAsda amid concerns themerged company would havetoo big a share of the country’smarket. Asda has seen its for-tunes improve during the pan-demic, with shoppers stockingup on extra groceries.

The new owners pledgedthat Asda would remain basedin the English city of Leeds, andcommitted to keeping priceslow amid tough economic con-ditions and potential new tar-iffs on EU-imported foods fol-lowing Brexit.

The Issa Brothers are thefounders of Euro Garages,which has more than 6,000 gasstations and convenience storesin Europe, North America andAustralia.

Kathmandu: In a bid to revivethe hard-hit tourism industry,Nepal on Friday announcedthat foreign tourists havingCovid-19 negative report willnot be required to quarantinethemselves for seven days fromOctober 17.

Foreign trekkers andmountaineers wishing to visitNepal from October 17 maywalk free without staying inquarantine if they produce aPolymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) negative report, said anofficial at the Department ofTourism, Ministry of Tourismand Civil Aviation.

The United Nations has reg-istered a maritime delin-

eation deal reached betweenTurkey and Libya’s U.N.-backedgovernment, the TurkishDefense Ministry announcedFriday.

Last year, Turkey and theGovernment of NationalAccord, or GNA, which isbased in Tripoli, reached amemorandum of understand-ing demarcating their mar-itime boundaries. T h eagreement, which would allowthem to lay claim to largeareas of the Mediterranean Seaand potential energy deposits,was denounced by Greece,Cyprus and other nations.

“The U.N. Has registeredthe maritime jurisdiction dealas agreed between Turkey andLibya,” the ministry announced

on its Twitter account. “ Our deep ties with Libya

based on over 500 years of his-tory will continue to strength-en.” Greece and Cyprus haveprotested the deal, whichadded tension to an ongoingdispute over oil-and-gasdrilling rights in the easternMediterranean.

Turkey and the GNA alsosigned a security and militarycooperation agreement lastyear. Turkey earlier this yearsent troops, Syrian mercenar-ies and other military supportthat helped the GNA repel anassault by the rival, eastern-based Libyan National Armyand shifted the tide of the con-flict.

“We will continue to pro-vide training and advisory ser-vices to the U.N.-recognized,legitimate government ofLibya,” the ministry said.

British Prime Minister BorisJohnson and European

Commission President Ursulavon der Leyen on Saturday will“take stock” of negotiations ona post-Brexit free trade dealand to “discuss next steps,” offi-cials said.

The announcement byboth sides came as they werewinding up another weeklongsession of detailed negotia-tions on a rudimentary freetrade agreement that shouldcome in force once a Brexittransition period ends Dec.

31.Little progress has been

made on such a deal since theU.K. Left the bloc at the end ofJanuary.

Both sides have acknowl-edged that time is running outif they are to achieve an agree-ment before the current Brexittransition periodcomes to anend at the end of the year.

Johnson has said he is pre-pared to walk away from thenegotiations if there is noagreement by the time of thenext EU summit on Oct. 15.The EU sees a deadline at theend of the month, allowing fortwo months to get any dealthrough legislative approval.

Complicating the tradetalks further are Britain’s plansto breach an internationalagreement it signed with theEU to regulate trade on theisland of Ireland, where bothsides have their only land bor-der separating the U.K.’s

Northern Ireland from EUmember Ireland.

U.K. CommunitiesSecretary Robert Jenrick saidthere were still some “verysignificant issues” which need-ed to be resolved if they wereto get an agreement.

“There isn’t very muchtime now so we are urging theEU to show flexibility andpragmatism in these finalstages of the talks,” he told theBBC.

“We hope that we canmove swiftly now to reach thekind of sensible trading that wewould like to see,” Jenrick said.

“Of course, as we havealways said, that if that isn’tpossible then we are perfectlycontent to see the transitionperiod end and us to continueto trade on the same sort ofarrangements” as many othernations that trade on rules setout by the World TradeOrganization.

UAE’s iconic skyscraper BurjKhalifa would display the

images of Mahatma Gandhi asa tribute to the great Indianpeace icon on his 151st birthanniversary, a media reportsaid on Friday.

The images of Gandhiwould be displayed on BurjKhalifa with his relevant mes-sages around 8.15 pm onFriday, the Gulf News report-ed, citing a tweet from theIndian Consulate in Dubai.

Gandhi Jayanti on October2 is also marked as theInternational Day of Non-Violence on account of thenon-violent strategy adopted byGandhi to help India secureindependence from the Britishcolonial rule in 1947.

“The special Gandhi showon Burj Khalifa will be live-

streamed on social media pagesof the consulate.We are thank-ful to Emaar for their support,”the report quoted an official ofthe Indian Consulate saying thepaper earlier this week.

The consulate officials arealso holding a cleanliness drivein the premises of the mission.With the support from theIndian community, 151 treeswill be planted on different sites

to mark the occasion, thereport said.

The annual debate for stu-dents, held under the patron-age of the mission at GEMSOur Own Indian School, willbe organised online due toCOVID-19. Essay writing anddrawing competitions are alsobeing organised for stu-dents.On the 149th birthday ofGandhi in 2018, a special LEDshow on Burj Khalifa markedthe commencement of the two-year line up of programmes of150 years of Gandhian ideolo-gies in the UAE. The specialLED show was jointly organ-ised by the Indian Embassy,Abu Dhabi, Indian Consulatein Dubai and Emaar Properties.Images of Gandhi and theIndian flag were beamed on theworld’s largest LED-illuminat-ed façade once again on thesame day in 2019.

US Secretary of State MikePompeo says he and his

wife have tested negative for thecoronavirus after they wereexamined on their airplane 20minutes prior to landing inDubrovnik, Croatia, on Friday.

He said it was the fourthtime in two weeks he has beentested.

President Donald Trumpannounced on Twitter earlyFriday that he and first ladyMelania Trump had tested pos-itive for the coronavirus.

When President DonaldTrump refused to out-

right condemn white nation-alists in this week’s presidentialdebate and urged his support-ers to monitor polling sites,Portia Roberson was remind-ed of earlier eras when BlackAmericans were intimidated atthe polls to deter them fromvoting.

Roberson, a 51-year-oldBlack woman who lives inDetroit, found the commentschilling — but also felt arenewed resolve to vote.

For many BlackAmericans and other people ofcolor, Trump’s comments in hisdebate with Democratic chal-lenger Joe Biden were a harshreminder that the nation hasyet to fully grapple with sys-temic racism laid bare this yearby protests against police

killings of Black people, thecoronavirus pandemic, andthe resulting economic fallout.

But they were also a call toaction.

“I hope that we take someof that frustration, anger andsadness that we’ve all been feel-ing for the better part of 2020,and use it to motivate ourselvesto go to the polls and makesure we vote and vote for can-didates who really reflect whatBlack folks need in this coun-try,” said Roberson, CEO of theDetroit nonprofit Focus: Hope.

Trump tried to walk backhis debate comments onWednesday, but the momentwhen he told one far-rightgroup to “stand back and standby” had already been cement-ed in the minds of manyAmericans, experts andactivists say. A day after thedebate, the president said hedidn’t know the group but

that it should “let law enforce-ment do their work.” Duringthe debate, he also urged his“supporters to go into thepolls and watch very carefullybecause that’s what has to hap-pen.” Eric Sheffield, aBlack real estate developer inAtlanta whose parents hailfrom the Deep South, saidTrump’s comments remindedhim of the Jim Crow era.

“I hear the ghost of votersuppressionists past,” saidSheffield, 52. “It’s the samesoup. It’s just warmed overnow.” It’s not just BlackAmericans who took notice —and umbrage — at the presi-dent’s debate comments.Similar concerns are alsoreverberating amongAmericans from other back-grounds, said Anna Mach, abiracial Filipino Americanwoman who is a master’s stu-dent at the University

Afederal judge has blockedthe enforcement of the H-

1B visa ban issued by PresidentDonald Trump in June thisyear, saying the presidentexceeded his constitutionalauthority.

The order was issued onThursday by District JudgeJeffrey White of NorthernDistrict of California.

The lawsuit against theDepartment of Commerce andDepartment of HomelandSecurity was filed by companiesrepresented by NationalAssociation of Manufacturers,US Chamber of Commerce,National Retail Federation andTechNet.

The ruling places an imme-diate hold on a series of visarestrictions that prevent man-ufacturers from filling crucial,hard-to-fill jobs to supporteconomic recovery, growth andinnovation when most needed,the National Association ofmanufacturers said.

In June, Trump had issuedan executive order that had put

temporary bar on issuing ofnew H-1B and other foreignvisas including H-2B, J and Lvisas, till the end of the year.

The president had arguedthat the United States needs tosave and protect jobs for itsdomestic work force at a timewhen millions of them losttheir jobs due to coronaviruspandemic.

A number of IT companiesand other US firms, and thoserepresenting them had voicedtheir opposition to the tempo-rary ban.

Manufacturers went tocourt to challenge the admin-istration’s ban on certain visasbecause the restrictions bothundermined the industry at acritical time and conflictedwith the law, said NAM seniorvice president and generalcounsel Linda Kelly. “We arecompeting with the rest of theworld to find and develop toptalent to support innovation inour industry. Today’s decisionis a temporary win for manu-facturers committed to build-ing that innovation in theUnited States,” he said.

New Delhi:The NCLAT hassaid once a resolution plan fora debt-ridden company isapproved by the lenders, thenthe successful bidder cannot bepermitted to withdraw its offer.

A three-member NCLATbench said the sanctity of res-olution process has to be main-tained and such withdrawal bya successful bidder “frustrate”the entire exercise of CorporateInsolvency Resolution Process(CIRP).

Moreover, there is also noexpress provision in theInsolvency & Bankruptcy Codeto allow any successful resolu-tion applicant to “stage a U-turn”, it added.

“We are of the consideredopinion that the sanctity of res-olution process has to be main-tained and the resolution appli-cant whose resolution plan hasbeen approved by Committeeof Creditors cannot be per-mitted to withdraw itsResolution Plan,” said thebench headed by ActingChairman Justice B L Bhat.

The appellate tribunal fur-ther said even under theInsolvency & Bankruptcy

Code, there is no express pro-vision for allowing any suc-cessful resolution applicant to“stage a U-turn” and withdrawits bids, after being selected bythe CoC.

“Provision for submissionof a Performance BankGuarantee by a resolutionapplicant while submitting itsresolution plan, as requiredunder the amended provisionsof IBBI (Insolvency ResolutionProcess of Corporate Persons)Regulations, 2016 is a step inthis direction but may not bedeterrent enough to prevent aSuccessful ResolutionApplicant from taking a U-turn,” the National CompanyLaw Appellate Tribunal(NCLAT) said.

The NCLAT’s observationcame in the judgement, inwhich it dismissed a plea filedby a Delhi-based firm KundanCare Products that hasemerged as a successful bidderfor Astonfield Solar (Gujarat)Pvt Ltd.

Kundan Care Productscontended that on account ofdelay in conclusion of CIRP, itsoffer has been rendered com-

mercially unviable and theappellant could not be pre-vented from withdrawing thesame.

It had approached theDelhi bench of the NationalCompany Law Tribunal(NCLT), which had on July 3,2020, declined to pass anyorder on the ground that itwould not be appropriate for itto deal with an issue which isalready sub-judice before theSupreme Court.

After this, the firm movedthe NCLAT.

It argued that IBC does notcontain any provisions to com-pel specific performance of aResolution Plan by an unwill-ing Resolution Applicant and aplea for withdrawal of a planwill have to be accepted if theplan is found to be unviable,unfit for implementation or iseither lacking provisions for itssuccessful implementation or isbased on incorrect assump-tions.

The Committee ofCreditors (CoC) had submittedthat IBC does not prescribe anyprovision for withdrawal of aresolution plan and the NCLT

is not bestowed with any powerto allow withdrawal of the res-olution plan.

It further submitted thatonce a resolution plan hasbeen approved, it becomes abinding contract between theparties and the successful res-olution applicant, and cannotbe permitted to withdraw thesame that will have the effect ofsending the Corporate Debtorinto liquidation.

Consenting to it, theNCLAT said earlier in a simi-lar matter of EducompSolutions, it has already heldthat once a resolution applicanthas accepted the conditions ofresolution plan, it was notopen to it to make a U-turn andwriggle out of the liabilitiesimposed upon it under theResolution Plan approved bythe Committee of Creditors.

“We find no merit in thisAppeal. The Appellant hasfailed to demonstrate that theimpugned order suffers fromany legal infirmity. The Appealbeing devoid of merit is dis-missed,” the NCLAT ruled.

ket borrowings (OMBs).Andhra Pradesh has

became the first state in thecountry to successfully under-take ease of doing businessreforms and has thus becomeeligible to raise an additionalamount of Rs 2,525 crorethrough open market borrow-ings.

New Delhi: Ratings agencyICRA has estimated that cen-tral tax devolution (CTD) tothe states will be 36.2 per centlower than the budgetedamount in the FY21 UnionBudget.

Accordingly, the CTD isexpected to be around Rs5,00,500 crore (Rs 5,005 billion)in FY2021 from the budgetedRs 7,84,200 crore (Rs 7,842 bil-lion).

“If the state governmentsexhaust a large portion of theirpermitted borrowing forFY2021 within 9M FY2021, theanticipated YoY decline inCTD in Q4 FY2021 could leadto fiscal and liquidity stress forthe states in that quarter,” ICRAsaid in a report.

At present, open marketborrowings or state develop-ment loans (SDLs) are thechief source of funding the fis-cal deficit of the Indian stategovernments. “The gross SDLissuance expanded by a sub-stantial 56.8 per cent to Rs3,536 billion in H1 FY2021

from Rs 2,254 billion in H1FY2020,” the report said.

“ICRA estimates that Rs511 billion of SDLs wereredeemed in H1 FY2021, lowerthan the estimated redemptionof Rs 674 billion in H1 FY2020.Accordingly, the net SDLissuance rose by an even high-er 91.4 per cent in H1 FY2021to Rs. 3,025 billion from Rs.1,580 billion in H1 FY2020.”

Resultantly, high marketborrowings by the state gov-ernments in H1 FY2021 reflectthe expectedly wide gapbetween their revenue receiptsand expenditure led by theadverse impact of the Covid-19pandemic on the fiscal healthof the state governments, thereport said.

Additionally, the indicativecalendar of market borrowingsfor Q3 FY2021 released by theReserve Bank of India (RBI)pegs the market borrowing of26 state governments and twoUnion Territories (UTs) at Rs2,022 billion, 24.9 per centhigher than the total SDL

issuance of Rs 1,619 billion inQ3 FY2020.

“The step up in the volumeof borrowing indicated for Q3FY2021 is surprisingly muted,relative to Rs 1,673 billion inQ1 FY2021 and Rs 1,863 billionin Q2 FY2021,” the report said.

“In our view, the actualborrowings in Q3 FY2021could appreciably overshootthe indicative amount, espe-cially given the absence of par-ticipation indicated for WestBengal (WB) in Q3 FY2021.”

Furthermore, it said thatbased on estimate for full yearSDL issuance for FY2021 andthe borrowing concluded inH1 FY2021, “we project thegross SDL issuance in H2FY2021 at Rs 6,797 billion, if theborrowing related to GST com-pensation would be throughSDLs”.

“This is sharply higher thanthe planned issuance of Rs 4,340billion of dated securities indi-cated by the GoI in its borrow-ing calendar for H2 FY2021,” thereport said. IANS

How often do you come across peo-ple on an everyday basis who gettrolled for disagreeing with a

majoritarian viewpoint? Or how fre-quently do you notice the ‘I hear andobey’ culture among subordinates in acorporate meeting? How many times wereyou and your peers scolded in school orcollege for pushing a meaningful change?Well, we come across various instanceseveryday where dissenters are not beingheard, as they are seen as troublemakersthan contributors. This is the real intol-erance. We tend to forget that it isimportant to celebrate healthy dissent andresistance in order to develop view-points. Without the clash of ideas,progress in any sphere is difficult.

Democratic societies take pride in thefreedom of expression. Indeed, the rightto dissent and tolerance of diverse view-points distinguishes it from a dictatorship.In his book Rebels with a Cause, ProfessorTT Ram Mohan profiles well-known dis-senters — Arundhati Roy, Oliver Stone,Kancha Ilaiah, David Irving, YanisVaroufakis, UG Krishnamurti and JohnPilger to illustrate how, in practice, dis-sent tends to be severely circumscribed.

Through an exploration of the livesand ideas of these personalities, theauthor asks hard questions to challengethe way we view and live in the world —a book for anyone who refuses to acceptthe status quo.

�What went into its research? How longdid it take to complete the book?

Well, when you look around, you findthat there isn’t much tolerance of dissentin the world. There was, you will recall,a huge debate on intolerance in India afew years ago and it’s an issue that sur-faces time and again. I thought it useful,therefore, to highlight the life and worksof a few dissenters and how society hasresponded to them. I make it clear in mybook that I don’t agree with many of thethings the dissenters are saying. And yet,I believe, it is important to hear them outif only so that we can improve our ownunderstanding of issues and hence thefunctioning of our institutions. The bookis not so much a celebration of particu-lar dissenters as of dissent itself.

In writing it, I went through the booksand articles of these personalities and alsoarticles written about them. It took justunder two years to complete.

�You have written that the personali-ties in the book are not necessarily themost effective dissenters but their ideasmust be known. How did you decide tofeature these seven dissenters?

Yes, they are not effective in the sensethat they have not been able to changethings the way they wanted. However, insome areas, their dissent has triggereduseful responses. For instance,Arundhati’s campaign against large damshas helped improved rehabilitation andresettlement of displaced people andOliver got people thinking deeply aboutthe Vietnam war and the assassination ofJohn F Kennedy.

I wanted to cover personalities fromdifferent societies and different fields —social activism, films, economics, spiri-tuality, history, sociology and journalism.I thought I would focus on people whose

ideas are not very well known to a largeaudience. For that reason, I left outmore prominent dissenters, such asNoam Chomsky.

�All of them have done various worksthat reflect defiance and questionauthorities. How did you compile someof their works to capture the flavour ofdissent? How challenging was it?

All the personalities have a formida-ble body of work and each one would bea fit object for a whole book. I have notattempted to be comprehensive in cover-ing their work. Rather, I chose to focuson material that captures the essence oftheir dissent. Even a limited survey oftheir work involved a substantial amountof reading and, in some cases, watchingof documentaries. So, yes, the project wasquite a challenge.

�How does this subject have to be dis-cussed now, given the current politicalscenario of the country?

The subject is not specific to India,much less the present political scenario.

It is applicable to all societies. If you exam-ine things carefully, you will find that evensupposedly free societies, such as the USand the UK, allow dissent to happen onlywithin a narrow framework. If you stepout of the framework, you may find your-self paying a steep price. And it’s impor-tant to remember that lack of toleranceof dissent is not confined to the politicalsphere. There isn’t much tolerance of dis-sent in the corporate world either or, forthat matter, in most organisations. Mostpeople in positions of authority are notwilling to tolerate a different point of view,even where it is not personally threaten-ing to them. Authority and tolerance ofdissent don’t seem to go together and thisis something we need to deeply ponder.

�While reading about them and theirworks, there must have been severalinstances where you would have want-ed to interview them and question var-ious subjects personally...

Yes, I would have certainly liked tointerview all of them, except for U GKrishanmurti who is no more. I did nothave any luck except with Kancha Ilaiah.Either the person was not reachable or heor she did not respond. Yanis Varoufakisdid get back to me but he was availablefar too late in the writing of the book.

�You pointed out, “if you want toexpress serious dissent, make sure thatyou’re rich and famous enough to beable to afford it.” What would you sayabout it?

You see, it is okay if you criticise mon-etary or fiscal policy or the new educa-tion policy and things like that. However,if you challenge the fundamentals of theexisting order of things, the conse-quences can be quite severe. There areserious professional costs and one couldeven find oneself in jail. If one is a seri-ous dissenter, one needs to have the finan-cial and legal resources to battle author-ity, especially the state. It also helps if youare a celebrity because if authority cracksdown on you, it will make a splash in themedia here and abroad, and the possibil-ity of that happening helps to restrain thepowers. That is why most people think

very hard about expressing serious dis-sent. The ordinary person is not the stuffof which martyrs are made.

�“People don’t like to question author-ity because they know there’s a price tobe paid for doing so.” Personally, did yougo through any such circumstance forwriting a book that celebrates dis-senters?

Anybody who has worked in anyorganisation and has dared to differfrom those authorities or expressed seri-ous dissent would know that there is aprice to be paid for doing so. I am suremany people have had this experience andhave learnt over time to be careful aboutexpressing dissent.

�We need resistance to generate ideasand solve problems. It is through theclash of ideas that the best solutionsemerge. But even then dissent is alwaystaken negatively...

I couldn’t agree more. While mostpeople would accept this at an abstractlevel, they find it difficult to internaliseit and practise tolerance of dissent in theirown lives. It is okay to criticise people whodisagree with you but trolling, which isbeing offensive, rude or threatening,certainly is an indicator of lack of toler-ance of dissent.

�How can we design a system that pro-tects and fosters dissent?

This is very important. I think that iswhat the institutions of democracy are allabout — elections, judicial redress, a con-stitution that guarantees fundamentalrights, freedom of the press, etc. It’s allabout allowing a thousand flowers tobloom. The tragedy is that the outcomesfall far short of the tolerance of seriousdissent. We need to examine how attitudesare shaped within the family and in oureducational institutions, to what extentparental and other forms of authority con-tribute to creating attitudes that areinimical to dissent.

Anybody who has studied in the Westwould know that the relationship betweenteacher and taught is very different thereas compared to that in India. It is far morecollegial. In a book I wrote a few yearsago about shortcomings in the corporateworld, I argued that allowing divergentviews to emerge can lead to better per-formance and that is why those at the topshould encourage it. But, more broadly,it’s important for each one of us to see justhow much dissent we are capable ofexpressing and how much tolerance fordissent we have in our own spheres.

�Do you think the book can shape pub-lic perception on dissent and views relat-ed. What do you aim to achieve throughthe book?

Well, that is for you and the widerpublic to judge! By carefully examiningand often refuting the views of the per-sonalities in the book, I am trying to tellpeople, ‘we don’t have to accept what thesepeople are saying but that doesn’t meanwe have to condemn them.’ In the processof refuting their views on particularmatters, we get a chance to think throughissues and clarify our own understanding.For that reason, dissenters deserve to beheard, not hounded

Theydanced to the song Dhating Naach from theBollywood film Phata Poster Nikhla Hero.

The video of their performance hasgone viral on the internet. It has garneredover 4.2 million views on Facebook andover 6.5 million views on Youtube.Excerpts:

�How different did it feel to perform andreach the finale of one of the biggest tal-ent shows of the world?

It was a dream come true for us. Wealways wanted to perform on such a plat-form that is internationally recognised andcelebrated. Finally we did that and wonmillions of hearts. It felt very new andblessed to be seen and appreciated by theworld audience.

�After your Tattad Tattad and Top LesiPode performances, you’ve taken over theinternet. How does it feel to be a viralsensation?

We never expected or thought of this.Good performance is everything that wecan do, getting such positive commentsand so much of love is really a feeling ofgreatness. We are gratified by the response.Being a viral sensation is one of the great-est achievement of our lives.

�Tell us about your rehearsing schedule? We train for six to eight hours daily.

When there are reality shows, we increasethat to 10 to 12 hours. We start our day

with meditation, yoga, then exercise fortwo hours and rehearsals further. Our dietand resting hours are also scheduledaccordingly.

�Has this experience changed you as anartiste and as a person?

A lot. This experience taught us thatwe should never give up in life, no matterwhat the circumstances are and alwayshope for the best. When our audition wasreleased, the video went viral and every-thing seemed so positive but then came thenovel Coronavirus, which almost made usbelieve that it’s hard for the show to startagain. That made us a bit sad because itwas a great opportunity for us. But we weretold to hope for the best and eventuallyeverything turned out so well.

�Tell us about the judges and if you hadany favourites?

The judges were too sweet and encour-aging. We got some of the best commentsin our lives from the panel. Simon sir isour favourite but sadly he couldn’t be onthe whole show, Howie sir, Heidi mam andSofia mam are all too lovely. They lovedus and were fond of our dancing.

�What was your family’s reaction after youreached the finale?

They were proud when they heard thatwe had reached the finals. They insisted usto perform the best and enjoy ourselveswhile doing so. They always supported uslike bass in a melody.

�Any memorable anecdotes from theshow?

There are many. One has to be whenSimon sir said, “Without people like you, wehave no show.” We travelled for 22 hours toget there and had to perform the very nextday. There are a lot to mention in an answer.

�What’s next for you?We want to become dancing stars in the

world whom people could look up to forinspiration. We will be dancing for the next10 to 15 years. We want to perform in everypossible corner of the world and representour country. We strive to be one and do theundoable every time we are on the stage.

We come from a background wherethings were not smooth. We didn’t have thatresources and exposure to be able to comethis far. We broke barriers and never gaveup. There are a lot of people who don’t havethis exposure to showcase their talent, wewant our voice to reach them. Bivash Sirowns a Gurukul where students from dif-ferent parts of India come, stay and learndance education. We want to gather peoplewith talent who need exposure to train themto their best and help them explore them-selves.

�What were the on-ground challenges onthe sets of America’s Got Talent?

The crew members on this show werevery nice. There were some dance floorissues but we felt really comfortable through-out our set time.

The dew factor will go out of thewindow but the searing heat will

be an issue when Royal ChallengersBangalore take on a better preparedRajasthan Royals in the first of the 10IPL double-headers on Saturday.

Having played their first twogames at Sharjah, the small-est of the three venues,Royals got their strategywrong in the game againstKolkata Knight Riders inDubai.

The ground in AbuDhabi too is on the bigger side andRoyals’ experience of playing in Dubaiwill help them take more informeddecisions. RCB will also be makingtheir first appearance at the SheikhZayed Cricket Stadium.

The Royals have now understoodthe perils of playing on bigger groundsand their leg-spinner Shreyas Gopalaccepted the fear of unknown.

“We can’t really estimate anythingsitting here, we’ve practised during theday a few times in the ICC academyso we’ll go there and take a call thereitself. It shouldn’t be too different.

“There might not be dew otherthan that I feel it’ll be a really goodwicket and a good contest,” Gopal saidon the eve of the match.

With the batsmen unable to hitthrough the line as consistently as theycould do in Sharjah, Royals failed tochase 175 against KKR on Wednesday.

Since they have a settled overseasplayers’ combination, one possiblechange in the eleven could be replac-ing pacer Ankit Rajpoot with Varun

Aaron, who is yet to get a game.The team has benched young

opener Yashasvi Jaiswal after JosButtler’s arrival but calls have beengrowing for his inclusion. With the topthree picking themselves, the stylishsouthpaw can only play in the middleorder.

Both Royals and the RCB go intoSaturday’s afternoon matchwith two wins in threegames.

RCB have made apromising start but need toimprove their fielding anddeath bowling. Navdeep

Saini bowled a tidy Super Over againstMumbai Indians to get his team overthe line after RCB leaked as many as79 runs in the last four overs for thegame to be tied.

The Bangalore franchise madethree changes in the previous clash andare likely to give those players — IsuruUdana, Adam Zampa and GurkeeratMann — another go.

The move to open the bowlingwith Washington Sundar paid off asthe offie returned with figures of 12for one in four overs in a game wheremore than 400 runs were scored.

Ab de Villiers has shown ominoustouch and it must be heartening for theteam management to see ShivamDube providing the big hits towardsthe end against Mumbai Indians.

Skipper Kohli is yet to set the tour-nament on fire and Saturday could behis day.

Doubts remain over the availabil-ity premier all-rounder Chris Morris,who picked up a side strain before thestart of the tournament.

Andre Russell’s brute power will meetits match in Rishabh Pant’s fearless

approach when Kolkata Knight Ridersface Delhi Capitals with an aim to lightup the Sharjah skyline in what promisesto be another six-hitting IPL contest onSaturday.

Russell gave a glimpse of what is instore with three sixes at a big Dubaiground against Rajasthan Royals whilePant will be itching to throw caution tothe wind and play his natural game —destructive edge of the seat hitting.

In fact, Pant needs it more thanRussell as three of his peers, KL Rahul,Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson have gotruns under their belt, something that thebeefy man from Roorkee so desperately

needs. This will be the first weekend of dou-

ble-headers in the IPL and therecouldn’t have been a betterground for that than Sharjah,which has ridiculously shortboundaries promising anoth-er run-feast.

If there is Shubman Gill,Andre Russell and EoinMorgan on one side, thereis Pant, Marcus Stoinisand Shreyas Iyer on theother end, all capablebig-hitters and everready to add to thewhopping 62 sixesthat have been hiton this ground inthe two games held

there so far. KKR have been slowly get-ting into the groove with some compre-

hensive performances while Capitals,after two fine victories, hit a roadblockagainst Sunrisers Hyderabad in their

last outing.For the Knights, their young pace

attack of Kamlesh Nagarkoti andShivam Mavi will have their task cut

out on a batting paradise wheretheir temperament will be

put to test.In Sharjah, a bowler

is destined to go forruns and how the twomanage that and trysubtle variations willbe key to KKR’s success.

KKR are unlikely totinker with their win-

ning combination even though Narine asan opener hasn’t worked well for them inthree games so far with only 24 runsscored by the Trinidad all-rounder.

However, he has bowled his full quotaof overs in three games with adecent under 8 economy rateand two wickets.

There is Tom Banton as areserve opener but keepingthe dimensions of the Sharjahground into equation, KKR willpersist with Narine provided he can attackthe weak link in the DC attack whichobviously will be an Indian pacer — beit Mohit Sharma, Ishant Sharma orAvesh Khan.

Giving an update on Ashwin’s injury,Capitals bowling coach Ryan Harris said:“He’s doing excellent. He had a really good

session last night with the ball, bat and inthe field. So he might be available forselection for tomorrow, but we are stillwaiting for our medical staff ’s confirma-tion this evening.”

In their batting depart-ment, Shimron Hetmyer is yetto fire but again the same for-mula that applies to Narine inKKR is also applicable on theformer West Indies U-19 WorldCup winning captain, provid-

ed he can take on Kuldeep Yadav andVarun Chakravarthy.

Hetmyer has had some degree of suc-cess against Kuldeep in internationalgames and it could be an engaging con-test if he gets a chance to bat on a trackwhere history always favours the top fourfrom either side.

Barcelona’s new double-act delivered again asLionel Messi and Ansu Fati led them to a 3-

0 victory at Celta Vigo in La Liga on Thursday,despite Clement Lenglet being sent off in the firsthalf.

After scoring twice in Barca’s opening gameof the season, Fati fired struck early at a blusteryBalaidos, only for Lenglet to collect a second yel-low card in the 42nd minute for pulling backDenis Suarez.

But even down to 10, Ronald Koeman’s sidewere undeterred and Messi made the lead morecomfortable shortly after half-time, his weavingrun and shot diverted in for an own-goal by Lucas Olaza.

Celta hit the crossbar but neverreally threatened a comeback andwhen the ball spilled loose afteranother Messi dash in injury-time,Sergi Roberto made sure of thepoints.

“We did a great job,” saidKoeman. “I’m very proud ofthis team, we worked hard,played with a lot of disciplinewith a man less and eventhen we made the bestchances. I’m very, veryhappy.”

Celta hasn’t lost toBarcelona at home infive years, with threewins and two draws inleague matches.

Arevamped ChennaiSuper Kings controlledthe innings for a large

part before youngsters PriyamGarg and Abhishek Sharmalifted Sunrisers Hyderabad toa competitive 164 for five intheir IPL match here on Friday.

Their top guns not con-tributing much, Garg (51 notout) and Abhishek (31) raiseda 77-run stand for the fifthwicket as SRH collected 53runs in the last four overs tomake it a contest.

CSK’s poor fieldingtowards the end helped SRHcontinue with the momen-tum as they dropped Abhishektwice.

After struggling in theirinitial matches, CSK broughtAmbati Rayudu, DwayneBravo and Shardul Tahakur forFriday’s game.

That CSK came into thematch rejuvenated following a

one-week break was evidentwith the way Deepak Chahar(2/31) troubled the SRH bats-men with his swinging deliv-eries. Sam Curran too showedcontrol.

Chahar was rewarded forhis effort when he deceivedJonny Bairstow (0) with an in-swing ball that uprooted his

stumps.Manish Pandey (29) was in

good touch as he timed the ballnicely when pitched up and didnot hesitate to play lofted shotswhile Warner worked the ballaround. They managed 42runs off the Powerplay overs.

Pandey drove straight toCurran at mid-off off Thakur.

Realising that time isticking away, Warnertried to look for bigshots but fell when

Faf Du Plessis, jumpedperfectly to catch him near theboundary ropes. To make itworse for SRH, KaneWilliamson (9) was run outnext ball in a mix up withGarg.

The responsibility to carrythe team forward fell on theyoung shoulders of Garg andAbhishek, who did not disap-point.

That Abhishek is talentedis already known and thesouthpaw further enhanced

his reputation with some con-fident and cracking shots. Gargtoo found his touch as hespent time at the crease.

Former India captainMahendra Singh Dhoni

Dhoni, who has playedevery edition of the Leaguesince its inception, is into his11th season with CSK, aside he has always captainedapart from playing two sea-sons for Rising PuneSupergiants.

Those were the seasonswhen CSK got suspendedfrom the league for the 2013spot-fixing scandal.
