Put an end to ReservationsThe Bombay High Court verdict upheld reservation for Marathas in public

employment and education. In the past the law had included Marathas as thesole group under the ‘Socially and Educationally Backward Class’ and extend-ed 16% reservation outside the existing quotas for Scheduled Castes andTribes, and other tribes and backward classes. This would take the reserva-tion up to 68%, thus going beyond the limit of 50% imposed by the SupremeCourt.

The court has upheld the government’s decision to accept the Maharash-tra Backward Classes Commission’s report on the backwardness of the Mar-atha community, faulted it for exceeding the panel’s recommendation for 12-13% reservation and pulled back the figure to the recommended level.

The High Court’s reasoning may not convince many. A politically influentialand dominant community, Marathas have been classified as the only memberof the newly created ‘SEBC’. This verdict by HC is likely to be examined bythe Supreme Court closely.

Prakash Ambedkar, great-grandson of B R Ambedkar, says: “Almost 3,000Maratha families in the state control 72 per cent of its land. And 171 familiesare politically dominant. A majority of the educational institutions held byMaratha leaders are for students of higher income families; poor people areleft out,” he says. “If Marathas are lacking in education and employment, italso shows a leadership failure.” Two of the recent hits in Marathi film indus-try underline the politics of Maratha power and the true cause for the demandfor reservation in Maharashtra quite well “SAIRAT” made by a dalit directorAND “MULSHI PATTERN” made by a Maratha director. The films showground reality to anyone not from the state in the voices of their communities.

The most powerful clans the state has known, Thackeray and Pawar belongto this community. Almost 50 to 55 per cent of educational institutions —undergraduate and postgraduate, medical and engineering — across the stateare controlled by leaders who represent the Maratha community. Of 200-oddsugar factories, the base of the state economy, 168 are controlled by Mar-athas. Of district cooperative banks, 70 per cent are controlled by Marathasas directors, chairman or panel members.

It is incomprehensible how a community (Maratha) who were the rulers ofMaharashtra for many centuries and at the peak of their power were the rul-ers of India (including Delhi) for many decades until the arrival of the British,who had a power sharing pact with the Brahmins in Maharashtra (Brahminsbeing given the pant status-adviser/ministers in their dominion) during theirrule , who control the political landscape of Maharashtra (state assembly- in-cluding the chief ministers and most ministers during any part of history),base of the village economy (sugarcane cooperatives, cooperative banks ),controlling power of educational institutions (both private and government),and land in Maharashtra, now find the need for reservation.

Many scholars have gone against whole caste based Reservation in India.it’s necessary to rethink about whole Reservation, because it was allowedonly for 10 years, this should also be re-examined. Show your demographicpower of court pillars by standing against whole Reservation. Even after 70years after Independence, we have not put in place adequate numbers of highquality government schools all over the country. If we had, it would have obvi-ated the need for caste-based reservation and leveled the playing field in a fairmanner. Instead we are playing political games with increasing vehemence.The future looks bleak. The country desperately needs statesmen who canpull us out of the quagmire into which we are descending deeper every day.

Caste based reservations are the most nasty ugly way of discriminatingpeople based on castes. The Indian constitution says that all ‘Equal’ under itand the same constitution divides the people of the country based on ‘Castes/Minorities’ etc. Nowhere in the world this ugly way of discrimination based onCastes exist. The only reason why India is still a developing country and not adeveloped country is because of this ‘Caste based reservations’.

Where is rationality? Everyone is asking for reservation and political lead-ers for political gains are trying to accommodate them under reservation. Evenhigh court and Supreme Court seem to have no problem with it. What haveothers done who are not given reservation????

Camp for the check-up.“At other clinics and

hospitals, they charge sohigh that a common manlike me can’t afford suchmedical check-ups. I thankCardiac Advanced HeartCare Clinick for bringing thecost within the reach ofcommon people like me.

Most horrible crimeon increase misleadingpublic assuring themof better returns thanbanks. It’s nothingbut greed on bothinvestor part andinvest part is at playand the people arefooled once licensesand permits of a newsystem are accorded.

People fall preyoften; promotersfinally make hugeassets and then giveup business, withoutcaring of loss sufferedby investors and suchcheats must bepunished stringently

Chit Funds Are Cheat Fundsand all their assetsseized, and then getpunished for a schemeof such a cheatingnature.

Exponential returnlure both, masses andintellectual. Ponzyscheme, share marketand funds in bankingsystem are bound tomake suffering.Financial wizardcomes with lucrativescheme and dupepublic. Onus is onpublic only. Govern-ment cannot monitorsuch fraudulent firms.All such transactionare benami to evadetax. Governmentsureties are safest

mode of saving.Secured invest-

ments are always safe.Here the investorsinclude the poor, whoinvested their assetsfor a good return andcheated. Governmenthas to intervene andtake measures toalleviate the sufferingsof the investors andsolve their issues.Unfortunately, in ourcountry even investi-gating agencies andjudiciary are not aboveboard. These corruptpoliticians repeatedlyget bail and take lawin their own hand andpeople suffer. Unlessthe political system iscompletely overhauledthere is nothing theAam aadmi couldexpect from thepresent unscrupulouspolitical class.

RBI broughtNBFCS within itdomain when publicdeposits increased andso did frauds. Now theissue is about groupsdominate such fakeschemes to make easymoney. There is nopermanent solutionproviding a solutionbased on the intent ofpreventing fraudstersby bringing regula-tions to regulateinterest free bankingor we will go the way

of imposing majoritari-an / accepted norm forinterest based bankingis something one willhave to see.

The idea aboutinterest based bankingis to keep the ideaafloat that it works.We have been broughtin to keep it going elseall these banks wouldhave busted a whileback. People like methough we use thebanking system todaybecause there is noalternative do not usethe money that isdeposited in ouraccounts for personalpurpose. The issue iswe do not think aboutalternatives to theexisting system.

One thing iscertain. In Indianothing happenswithout the knowledgeof concerned sections.Or else our metroswould not have had somany illegal struc-tures nor got our footpaths not encroached.Ours is a very disap-pointing society. Thisis not the first timeand surely not the lasttime. Until we publicrealize that there is nomiracle to makemoney. Money growslittle by little. Investin places which paythe so-unattractive

interests at least theprincipal is safe.Individuals or corpo-rates, who claim tohave a hand in variousbusinesses, globallyand earning big sums,will logically not needsmall sums from youand me. So, if thesepeople are after smallmoneys offering sky-rocket returns then wemust immediatelyknow, that it is notpossible. Governmentcomes in after theissue has become acriminal case and thelaw will take its owncourse.

A little commonsense should tell peoplethat interest free loansare an economicimpossibility. Howdoes the lender meetadministrative andother expenses withoutcharging interest? Asthe old saying goes, “Afool and his money aresoon parted.” Theguilty should be fullyprosecuted and theirassets seized. The localpoliticians should stoppracticing appease-ment and vote bankpolitics. Governmentmust create a law toban on chit funds andShell companies andthere should be apersonal law on allsuch unregulated

investment companies.Every citizen of thiscountry should bebrought under theconstitution definedlaws. There should beno provision for anypersonal laws. Whypeople get emotional.There is no short cutto success and benefit

With bank fraudssaid to be on rise,financial scandals ofvarious hues andcolours happeningquite often, be it in theform of chit funds, orother micro financingventures or capitalmarkets etc, smallinvestors are taken fora ride ! The amountsaved or set apart forthe planning of theneeds of family suchas education ormarriage or health etcof the members, ifgets evaporated, thefabric of the familyitself may get tornbeyond comprehen-sion! With colossuspublic amounts beingsiphoned off throughvarious mechanismsof modus operandi,such frequent inci-dents erode the faithin the system. All inall, disorder seems tobe the order of theday. It is time to thinkthree times beforeinvesting.

Alia Bhatt returnedto Mumbai with RanbirKapoor just recently.The actors wereshooting in Varanasifor Brahmastra.

Alia Bhatt is a partof Ayan Mukerji’sBrahmastra. She wasshooting in Varanasiwith Ranbir Kapoor fora new schedule of herupcoming film Brah-mastra. She had to cutshort the shoot threedays ahead of the wrap-up. The actress had tourgently return toMumbai after she fellsick on the set and herhealth deteriorated.

The Raazi actresswill be consulting aspecialist in Mumbai.She will be taking sometime off shooting torecover before joiningback. Alia Bhatt andRanbir Kapoor wereaccompanied byNagarjuna Akkineniand Mouni Roy toVaranasi, where theyshot at 40 degreeCelsius.

The lead pair ofBrahmastra, Alia andRanbir, had to shoot fora song for the nextthree days. The songwill be shot in Novem-ber now. Alia continuedto work but Ayan(Mukerji, the directorof Brahmastra) decidedto call off the shoot.The team will nowreturn to the city inNovember for the song.

Alia Bhatt is pairedopposite beau RanbirSingh in Brahmastra.This is their first filmtogether. At FilmfareAwards this year, Aliaaccepted the BestActress award for herperformance in Raazi.

Directed by AyanMukerji, Brahmastrais a mythologicalaction-adventure filmthat also featuresAmitabh Bachchan andDimple Kapadia. It is

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt star in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastrathe first film in Ayan’sfantasy trilogy. Thefirst two schedules ofthe film have beenshot in Bulgaria andMumbai. Brahmastrais scheduled to releasein the Summer of2020. This is a filmthat has been the talkof the tinsel town sinceit went on floors.

Alia and Ranbirhad to shoot for a songin the next three days.However, Alia hadbeen caught by thestomach bug due tothe extreme heat of theSummer. The GullyBoy star continued toshoot despite falling ill.But before the songshoot that was to lastfor three days, directorAyan Mukerji called itoff and asked her torest.

In the film, Aliawill be seen as Ishawhile Ranbir will beplaying Shiva. Recent-ly at a press confer-ence, Ayan revealedthat Varanasi plays animportant role intaking the storyforward and hence, theshoot is very pivotal tothe film. Brahmastrais being produced byKaran Johar.

Ranbir Kapoor’sShamshera’s releasedate was pushed backdue to Ayan Mukerji’sBrahmastra. RanbirKapoor is one of thefew actors who’sconsistently been ableto deliver on the bigscreen. His pastmovies like Wake UpSid, Yeh Jawaani HaiDeewani and morerecently, Sanju,received a lot of lovefrom the audience.Ranbir Kapoor hasnow two big projectslined up in the nearfuture - Ayan Muker-ji’s Brahmastra andKaran Malhotra’sShamshera.

However, as per arecent report in anentertainment portal,Ranbir’s film withVaani Kapoor mightface a delay in therelease as his otherfilm, Brahmastra istaking up too manydates. The report alsoclaims that Karan

Johar met up withAditya Chopra todiscuss the issue andrequested him to pushthe dates of Sham-shera behind since hewill require more datesof Ranbir to wrap upBrahmastra. Adityaagreed and dates werefreed up for Ranbir toshoot Brahmastrawith Alia Bhatt.

Mouni Roy isplaying the role of anantagonist in ‘Brah-mastra,’ oppositeRanbir Kapoor andAlia Bhatt. Mouni Royhas been a popularface in the TV indus-try for quite some timenow. However, with2018 film Gold shemade sure thataudiences take note ofher on the silverscreen as well. ReemaKagti’s period sports-drama Gold was herbig budget Bollywooddebut and from thereonwards she has gone

on to bag some goodfilms for herself, a fewof them being RomeoAkbar Walter (RAW),opposite John Abra-ham; Made in China,opposite RajkummarRao and Brahmastra,opposite RanbirKapoor, Alia Bhatt andAmitabh Bachchan.

In the fantasytrilogy Brahmastra,Mouni is pitted againstRanbir and Alia. Herpart in popular showNaagin helped her bagthis role. She isplaying the mainvillain in the film. Sheis really lookingforward to it. What ismore liberating for heris playing differentcharacters thatchallenge her. She wassurprised initially thatthey wanted her toplay the villain. AyanMukerji (director) hadseen something fromNaagin and felt shecould play the villain.So you never knowwhat clicks withwhom. As an actor,you should be willingto experiment and beversatile otherwise youcan’t learn and grow.Recently, Mouni alsoopted out of BoleChudiyan, oppositeNawazuddin Siddiqui.

Brahmastra actressMouni Roy, for yourinformation, shot tofame with the televi-sion serial Naagin, andshe is going places inBollywood. After beingnoticed in AkshayKumar’s Gold lastyear, she will beplaying the villain inAyan Mukerji’s Brah-mastra which is a sci-fidrama. On the workfront, Mouni was lastseen in Romeo AkbarWalter, which starredJohn Abraham.

The Ayan Mukerjifilm also has AmitabhBachchan in a pivotalrole. The logo of thefilm was unveiledduring Kumbh Mela.

When RanbirKapoor and Alia Bhattwere shooting for AyanMukerji’s Brahmastrain Varanasi, theyvisited the famousKashi Vishwanathtemple to seek bless-ings. A picture of thetwo posing with fansoutside the temple isbeing widely shared byfan clubs on Twitterand Instagram. RanbirKapoor’s fan even wentto the extent of touch-ing his feet in Varana-si. Ranbir was heavilytrolled after fan methim and then touchedhis feet.

In the video, Ranbiris seen greeting a fanwho had come to meetthe star with giftsincluding chocolates.The fan, on meetingRanbir, touches hisfeet. After greetinghim, Ranbir movestowards the seatingarea in the hotel andsits on the sofa. Theunnamed fan followsthe actor and sits byhim, but on the floorwhile the two constant-ly chat. This video hasnot gone down wellwith many netizens,who are angry that

Ranbir didn’t evenoffer a seat to his fan.A user wrote if Ranbirthought he was Godwhile others calledhim rude.

Some time ago,Ranbir and Ali werespotted at RamnagarFort and Chet SinghFort in Varanasi. Inone of the pictures,Alia was seen wearinga white kurta with ared scarf wrappedaround her wrist.Ranbir was in an all-black combination.They stood inside whatlooked like a temple asa deity’s idol could beseen in the back-ground.

The film wassupposed to hit thetheatres this Decem-ber, however, the VFXteam needed moretime to work on thefilm and hence, therelease date has beenshifted to next year.

Touted as directorAyan Mukerji’s mostambitious project ever,Ranbir plays a DJ whowalks out of his houseagainst his father’swishes. The story thentraces his journey ashe tries to fulfil hisdreams and discovershis superpowers in theprocess. Every charac-ter in the film possess-es superpowers, withKapoor’s characterbelieved to have thepower to unleash firefrom his palms. Theactor has also report-edly undergonerigourous training invarious forms ofmartial arts for therole. It apparently hassome high octaneaction sequences.Ranbir trained intraditional Indianmartial arts, includingKalaripayattu andVarma Kalai, beforethe film went on floorsin 2017.

3. Some people always throw stones in yourpath. It depends on what you make withthem — a wall or a bridge? Remember youare the architect of your life.

4. Search for a good heart, but don’t searchfor a beautiful face, ‘coz beautiful thingsare not always good, but good things arealways beautiful.

5. It’s not important to hold all the good cardsin life, but it’s important how well you playwith the cards you hold.

Post Plastic Ban Look ForA Suitable Alternative

The greatest manmade disaster towardsgreen environment comes from use of plastic,especially the thin film variety. While touringvast areas of Maharashtra was pleasantly sur-prised to see the strict enforcement of plasticban. During my visit to Mahabaleshwar, Au-rangabad, Pune last year, I have noticedawareness about ill effects of plastic. It isheartening to note that by and large India hasbecome active in banning plastic totally. It ishowever deplorable that West Bengal turns ablind eye when it comes to banning and en-forcement of the ban on thin film plastic. Mustbe vested interests working against the inter-est of common people. Bengal is behind savingenvironmental dangers.

Partial ban on plastic bags that several lo-cal bodies in the country implemented at var-ious stages has fallen flat so far primarily due

to faulty implementation. Secondly, the non-availability of feasible alternatives has been dis-suading administrators from opting for a com-plete ban. Cloth is the next choice, though thenon-woven bags that pass off as cloth bags inmost shops these days are equally or even moredangerous than plastic bags.

Plastic bags play a negative role in chockingthe drainage system. Reuse old polythene bags.Make sure you do not burn polythene bags asthey cause a lot of pollution. With so many op-tions, finding the right alternative for plasticcarry bags is a tricky matter and only large-scaleawareness at the grass root level can ensure thatanother hazardous material does not substituteplastic.

Though paper is the first option, it cannot becounted as an environment-friendly option con-sidering the large-scale destruction of trees forpaper pulp and also because they cannot holdmuch weight. Though recycled paper bags havebecome a trend, common people may not findthem pocket-friendly. Up-cycled paper bags us-ing newspapers may be used for purposes otherthan packaging liquid and semi liquid products.

The third option is biodegradable plastic thatcomes in several varieties. There are starch-based bio plastics that are soluble in hot water.There is also compostable plastic that disinte-grates and joins the soil within 90 to 180 days.Plastic bags, thermocol, disposable cups andplates, cutlery, non-woven polypropylene bags,plastic pouches and packaging are all banned.

Bamboo is one of the largest members of thegrass family and is the fastest growing woodyplant on the planet. Its growth rate varies ac-cording to the soil and climate, and is best knownas a major food source for pandas. Bamboo is alsoused for culinary and medicinal purposes in manyparts of the world, as well for construction mate-rials, furniture, textiles, musical instruments,bicycles, clothing and more. As a packaging ma-terial bamboo is strong, durable and sustainable.It is one of the more remarkable natural materi-als available to us. The Economist recently quotedthat bamboo is literally, the green equivalent ofplastics. This, because it is renewable and low-carbon. It also said bamboo is now part and par-cel of our packaging material.

There are plenty of biodegradable and non-petroleum based plastic alternatives, but manydo not provide the lightweight, durability, or con-venience of plastics. But, there is one product

that seems to be on the rise as a sustainableand biodegradable alternative to plastic. Bam-boo Fiber Composites are a result of mixing bam-boo fiber into a polymer matrix, resins, or glue,resulting in a lightweight, biodegradable plas-tic alternative. The new processes used in themanufacturing of bamboo fiber composite ma-terials recently became more eco-friendly andorganic too. The new processing methods aredone completely mechanically, rather than withharsh chemicals.

Bamboo fiber also has several advantagesover other natural plant based composites. Forone it is the fastest growing woody plant in theworld. Certain species have been known to growup to 35 inches in a single day. The secondadvantage of bamboo fiber composites is theabundance of bamboo across the globe. Coupledwith being extremely light and elastic, bambooseems to be a sustainable, environmentallyfriendly, and advantageous alternative to pe-troleum based products.

It is no secret- there’s a lot of garbage outthere. From plastic bags and bottles to forest-guzzling paper mills, everyday products arewreaking havoc on our environment in a pleth-ora of ways. Fortunately, people are becomingincreasingly aware of this. The necessity forsustainable, earth-friendly and recyclable ma-terials in the manufacture of everyday itemshas become apparent, and consumer demandsare increasing as a result.

Enter Bamboo. Having existed as an alter-native material for millenniums, this amaz-ingly strong and versatile plant is a naturallyEco-friendly resource. Cultivating bamboo re-quires no pesticides, herbicides or irrigation,and instead relies on natural rainfall. Just likethe lawn in your backyard, bamboo has a self-replenishing growth cycle, so no need for re-planting activities that result in soil erosion ordamage to the surrounding environment. Fur-thermore, bamboo produces up to 35% moreoxygen than trees, thus helping to offset car-bon-dioxide emissions. It’s easy to see why bam-boo is a favorite when it comes to sustainablematerials.

Bamboo is one of the best Eco-friendly prod-uct in world, it cleans the environment and nopollution. Usage of bamboo products like: bam-boo chairs, bamboo household things like bam-boo houses are unique. With banning of plasticand plastic made items, bamboo can become asuitable substitute to overcome the ban on plas-tics very much.

NAVI MUMBAI: Ateenage girl who waskidnapped from WestBengal earlier thismonth was rescued bythe Navi MumbaiAnti Human Traffick-

Avian fluAvian influenza—known informally as avian

flu or bird flu is a variety of influenza caused byviruses adapted to birds. The type with the great-est risk is highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).Bird flu is similar to swine flu, dog flu, horse fluand human flu as an illness caused by strains ofinfluenza viruses that have adapted to a specifichost. Out of the three types of influenza viruses (A,B, and C), influenza A virus is a zoonot-ic infection with a natural reservoir al-most entirely in birds. Avian influen-za, for most purposes, refers to the in-fluenza A virus.

Though influenza A is adapted to birds, it canalso stably adapt and sustain person-to persontransmission. Recent influenza research into thegenes of the Spanish flu virus shows it to havegenes adapted from both human and avian strains.Pigs can also be infected with human, avian, andswine influenza viruses, allow for mixtures of genes(reassortment) to create a new virus, which cancause an antigenic shift to a new influenza A virussubtype which most people have little to no im-mune protection.

Avian influenza strains are divided into two

types based on their pathogenicity: high pathoge-nicity (HP) or low pathogenicity (LP). The mostwell-known HPAI strain, H5N1, appeared in Chi-na in 1996, and also has low pathogenic strainsfound in North America. Companion birds in cap-tivity are unlikely to contract the virus and therehas been no report of a companion bird with avianinfluenza since 2003. Pigeons can contract avianstrains, but rarely become ill and are incapable oftransmitting the virus efficiently to humans or

other animals.Between early 2013 to early 2017,

916 lab-confirmed human cases ofH7N9 were reported to the WorldHealth Organization (WHO). On 9

January 2017, the National Health and FamilyPlanning Commission of China reported to WHO106 cases of H7N9 which occurred from late No-vember through late December, including 35deaths, 2 potential cases of human-to-human trans-mission, and 80 of these 106 persons stating thatthey have visited live poultry markets. The casesare reported from Jiangsu (52), Zhejiang (21), An-hui (14), Guangdong (14), Shanghai (2), Fujian (2)and Hunan (1). Similar sudden increases in thenumber of human cases of H7N9 have occurred inprevious years during December and January.
