DIASPORA’S CHILDREN
iharis in general are politically aware people; from rickshawwalas to paanwalas, they have more political knowledge than businessmen of metropolitan cities of India. A hardworking breed; they have been very successful in their field of work outside of their city. A large number of Biharis have travelled to various parts of the world in the 19th century to serve as indentured labour on sugarcane and rubber plantations in Guyana, Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, Mauritius and Natal-South Africa. A number of Biharis can be found on high professional posts in the UK and the US as well. The contribution of Biharis in the development of some countries of the world like Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana and Surinam, has been immense. All NRI Biharis have always been looking for investment opportunities in Bihar. It is a rather bitter truth that Bihar did not have much to offer in past years. However, in last few years things are changing. There is hope, expectations and enthusiasm in the eyes of Biharis and has enabled them to start dreaming. It is undoubtedly a significant sign. We can all see that milestone has been laid and the journey of progress has begun in Bihar. Bihar now stands next only to Gujarat among the fastest-growing states in the country by posting a stunning 11.3% growth in 2008-09. Bihar is growing and growing fast. It is time for NRIs to stand up and support one of the fastest growing states of India. Gujarat and Punjab are the biggest examples of successful NRI investment, evident in their progress. I appreciate the statement of Irfan Alam of Begusarai district, Bihar, chairman of Samman Foundation and who was called by US President Barack Obama to attend the “Entrepreneurship Summit” in Washington DC when he said that “It’s not that Ambanis and Tatas alone can set up industries in Bihar. We Biharis are equally capable of doing that.” Enthusiasm is in the air, spirits are high and signs of progress have begun. It’s time for all of us to be a part and play a part in making history, changing the face of Bihar. Bihar now seems ready to have its Diaspora’s children for various opportunities.

The article on Problems with NRI Marriages was enlightening and I sincerely hope it would help people not to force their sons or daughters into the overseas jungle without proper enquiry or conformation about the background of the family they step into. RASHMI PALLAN UK Why do we Suffer, the write-up on the quest for attaining happiness was like an open image of what man is pretending to be and, looking into the deep ocean of thoughts also asking
the one real question – is he really happy? I suppose there is need for people to stop and ask such question from oneself. I am looking forward to more such articles. JOANNE Holland

SWRAJ PAUL CLEARED IN HOUSE OF LORDS EXPENSES ROW
HINDUS ADVOCATING FOR REMOVAL OF ERRONEOUS BOOK A book on the history of Hindus has ruffled a few feathers in the community based in US. Allegedly, a book marked with “errors and misrepresentations”, Hindus have urged the Penguin Group to “immediately” withdraw Wendy Doniger’s erroneous book, The Hindus – An Alternative History. An online petition filed by the Hindu inhabitants says: “Throughout the book, Doniger analyses revered Hindu gods and goddesses using her widely discredited psychosexual Freudian theories that modern, humanistic psychology has deemed limiting… (which) are bound and perhaps intended to mislead students of Indian and Hindu history.” A pro author with numerous translations of Sanskrit texts and many books about Hinduism under her kitty, Doniger holds two doctorates in Sanskrit and Indian studies from Harvard and Oxford.
Chairman of the Caparo Group of Industries and an industrial tycoon, Lord Swraj Paul is delighted as the London Metropolitan Police informed him that “after due consideration, it will no longer be proceeding with any investigation or inquiry in relation to my (Paul’s) House of Lords expenses.” Paying heed to some media allegations that a score of British Parliamentarians have been wrongly claiming parliamentary allowances, the Police carried out an exhaustive investigation into the matter. Speaking on the decision, elated Paul said that he “very much welcome(s) the police’s decision.” In an ensuing development, Paul has also decided to give up his non-domicile status.

VICTORIA A FAVOURABLE TOURIST DESTINATION With the increase in the number of attacks on the Indian students in different parts of Australia, this statistics might give some relief. The Tourism Research Australia says that there has been an increase of 26 percent in the number of Indians vacationing in Australia’s Victoria state in the year ending December 2009 in comparison to the same period in 2008. A total of 50,700 tourists visited the state during this period, amounting to about $ 257 million to its economy. According to The Age which quoted the state Tourism Minister Tim Holding, the incremental growth in the number of tourists is a “great achievement when you consider the negative media coverage from incidents involving Indian students.”

FIRST TURBANED SIKH OFFICER AFTER EONS TO JOINS US ARMY An unabated wave of applause has been doing the rounds since the time when 31-year-old Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan graduated from the Fort Sam Houston to enter into US Army. In this manner, he became the first Sikh in a generation to continue wearing the turban and in the way joining the country’s military. Speaking to the reporters, Cpt. Rattan said, “I am feeling very humbled. I am a soldier. This has been my dream.” Supporting his cause for an exemption from the Army was the equally jubilated Sikh Coalition’s legal director Harsimran Kaur, who said, “We’re very happy that the Army has accommodated Captain Rattan. We are working towards the day when it will be possible for all Sikhs to serve in the Army without compromising the religion.” Captain Rattan was recruited and commissioned by the US Army in 2006 as a part of the Health Professionals Scholarship Program. He submitted a request to the Army that he be permitted to continue with his turban and beard while serving the army. It was in December 2009 that the Army granted his request for accommodation.

INDIA SHOULDN’T ALLOW FUNDAMENTALISTS TO SILENCE ARTISTS, SAYS DOSANJH Terming the recent decision taken by famed painter M F Hussain to accept Qatari citizenship as “a blow to the idea of India”, the first non-white premier of British Columbia and Canada’s Health Minister, Ujjal Dosanjh said, “India should not allow fundamentalists to silence artists and thinkers.” Further reiterating for the cause of an individual’s freedom to expression, he said: “If you don’t offend, you can’t change anything…it is mostly the controversial people who end up changing the world.” Criticising these hatemongers, Dosanjh said that “no artist can be told what to write or paint. Nobody should be silenced because they think differently, or paint differently. The moment you silence them, you have a totalitarian state.” He also asked Hussain to once again think over his decision and retake his Indian citizenship.

TAMIL FILMS FAULTED FOR CRIME BY INDIANS It might sound very unusual to the cinema connoisseurs of the southern states of India. But, it has come out from the mouth of a Malaysian Indian official. N V Subbarow, education officer of the Consumer Association of Penang (CAP), was quoted by Malaysia Namban newspaper as telling that the “incidence of crime among Indian youths was related to violence depicted in Tamil films.” Malaysia is home to an approximate population of two million ethnic Indians, with Tamilians sharing the major chunk. However, with the ethnic Indian leaders concerned about the falling moral and social standards, Subbarow said that so far no concrete action had been taken to assuage such ills.

WOMEN’S RESERVATION BILL PASSED IN RAJYA SABHA
A NINE HOUR SIT-UP PERIOD FOR MODI Eight years since the gory Gujarat riots, it was for the first time when state Chief Minister Narendra Modi appeared before the Supreme Courtappointed Special Investigation Team (SIT). Modi appeared before the SIT in two sessions – once in the morning for nearly five hours, and then after a four-hour break, again at night. Coming out after the second session, he said that the SIT has assured him that his work is over. “Vistaar se batcheet ki (we spoke in detail),” Modi said adding that “under the Indian constitution, law is supreme. As a common man, CM, I am bound by the Indian constitution and law. No one can be above the law.” He claimed that he had replied to all the questions put up by the SIT. He was summoned by the SIT following an appeal by Zakia Jaffery, the wife of deceased Ehsan Jaffery.
It took fourteen long years to make its first successful dent in the national scenario. History took another date and achievement in its lap, when in Rajya Sabha, the Women’s Reservation Bill was passed with an overwhelming majority. The Bill conceives of reserving 33% reservation to women in Parliament and state legislative bodies i.e. 181 seats in the 543seated Lok Sabha and 1,370 out of a total of 4,109 seats in the state Assemblies. Out of the total members who were present during the voting, 186 were in favour of the Bill and only one was against it. The lone member of the Upper House who voted against the Bill was noted economist and farmer leader Sharad Joshi. Speaking over the passage of the Bill, Brinda Karat said: “The Women’s Reservation Bill will ensure that the women of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes, poor women and Muslim women would benefit from it.”

PRE-MARITAL SEX IS NOT AN OFFENCE: SC
Citing the example of Lord Krishna and Radha living together, the apex court of India gave an affirmative opinion of live-in relation and pre-marital sex. “When two adult people want to live together what is the offence. Does it amount to an offence? Living together is not an offence. It cannot be an offence”, ruled a three judge bench of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Deepak Verma and B S Chauhan. Referring to Article 21 which grants right to life and liberty, the Bench asked, “Please tell us what is the offence and under which section. Living together is a right to life.” The point was made by the Supreme Court Bench while reserving its judgment on a special leave petition filed by South Indian actress Khusboo against whom 22 criminal cases are pending owing to her alleged endorsement of pre-marital sex in interviews to various magazines in 2005.

THREE GET LIFE TERM FOR KILLING DUBEY A Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court has sentenced three people to life imprisonment for killing National Highways Authority of India engineer Satyandera Dubey. The sentence given by special CBI court judge Raghvendra Singh found Mantu Kumar, Udai Kumar and Pinku Ravidas guilty of killing Dubey in the intervening night of November 26-27, 2003 in front of the Gaya Circuit House. Earlier on March 20, the court had convicted Mantu Kumar under Sections 302 (murder), 394 (causing hurt in robbery) and 27A (possessing illegal weapons) of the Indian Penal Code. The latter two have also been convicted under Section 302/34 (murder committed in furtherance of common intention). Dubey smelled the rat of corruption and poor quality of work while he was working on the Golden Quadrilateral at Koderma (Jharkhand). Following this, he also shot a letter to the Prime Minister’s Office, whereby he cited the name of some connived people and organizations. PRAVASI TODAY | APRIL 2010

As part of the campaign, Ghir will be a part of the commercials, whereby he will highlight the key facts and statistics surrounding organ donation within the Asian and Black communities.

Four other Indians have found their place amongst the top 50, while 49 others are in the list of 1,011 richest people.
Indian taxing parlance will be soon adding a new term in its kitty – Documents Identification Number (DIN). Tax payers and deductors will now get acquainted with DIN, which, on getting introduced this fiscal, will be quoted on “every” income tax related communications. The mandatory DIN “will be generated by the department (Income Tax) and will be useful essentially for errorfree filing of tax returns, claiming refunds and other communication with the department by the assesses.” Envisaged in bringing more transparency in the tax administration domain, it has been framed that if any correspondence issued by the department does not bear the DIN number, then such matter will be “treated as invalid and shall be deemed never to have been issued.”

VEDANTA VIOLATING ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS IN ORISSA, SAYS GOVT. Bashing multi-billion dollar mining tycoon Vedanta’s Rs. 50,000 crore project in Orrisa, where it has budged and violated environment regulations, Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said: “I can say that they have violated Forests Rights Act, without taking consideration of the tribal rights.” According to a report submitted by a three-member team to the Ministry, it has found evidence of violations of green norms at the company’s bauxite project in the Kalahandi district of Orissa. “In none of the villages that we visited was there any understanding about how to delineate, and claim, community and traditional rights,” the report said. Clarifying the stand of the organisation, backed with two letters from the state government to MoEF, Mukesh Kumar, COO, Vedanta Aluminium Limited, said that the Orissa government further said there is no violation of the Forest Dwelling Rights Act in the region and all the norms have been complied by Vedanta.” PRAVASI TODAY | APRIL 2010

HOMEWARD NRIS Non resident Indians are coming back home, thanks to the splurge in infrastructure and improved level of competitive compensation. “In the last two years, most of the companies are hiring non resident Indians and expats because there is an increase in demand for such skilled professionals,” Sunil Goel, Director of an executive search firm GlobalHunt India said. He also said that with increased opportunities in social sectors like healthcare and education, NRIs are giving the country a serious thought. According to his firm, banking and financial services, automobile, infrastructure, pharma and retail are the sectors which have seen an increase in the number of overseas expats. Statistically, the appointment of expats in the automobile sector has increased three times, while hiring in infrastructure has skyrocketed ten times. The hiring growth in pharma (five times) and banking and financial services (five-six times) is also on an exponential rise.

It was adieu moment for world’s oldest brokerage firm when Indian financial services giant Religare got hold of the 200-year-old British firm Hichens Harrison, and renamed itself as Religare Capital Markets. This paved way for the merger of the investment banking domain of Religare with its brokerage service under one roof. “This move brings its investment banking and institutional broking businesses under one umbrella globally as the company accelerates its drive to become the world’s first integrated platform for emerging markets,” a spokesman for Religare said.

While the Australian police is yet to get a hang of the incident of death of a three-year-old Indian boy Gurshan even after arresting the accused, a 23year-old NRI Gursewak Dhillon, the entire Australian population is highly shocked and demands every needful to bring Dhillon to justice

Left numb by the tragedy, Harpreet thinks more of her husband. “My husband is putting on a strong façade, just to support me. I know he is completely shattered from within, but he is putting up a strong front for my sake. Gurshan was very close to his father. My husband loved him so, so much. I used to be busy with studies, so my husband used to spend most time with our child,” She said. The arrested accused appeared briefly in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on March, 9 and has been remanded in custody to reappear on June 29. However, an autopsy test of dead child has not revealed the cause of death and

police are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests. As such, a delay in release of Gurshan’s body is quite obvious, but parents want to cremate the body back home. Harjit Singh Channa, Gurshan’s father, has sought hard sentencing for his housemate Gursewak Dhillon, who admitted placing the unconscious three-year-old in the car boot and dumping him on the roadside. “I want the law to punish him as he is responsible for my son’s death,” He said. He further said, “I have lost my child…I won’t get him back, I want the accused to serve a hard sentence for what he has done to my family for no reason.” The incident has created a sensation in Australia. “It is horrible”, Premier Kevin Rudd said in his reaction.

three-year-old toddler Gurshan, with his job searcher parents Harjit and Harpreet Channa, arrived in Australia in January 2010 and was due to return to India back in second week of March after the Channa couple failed to find work in Melbourne. Unfortunately on March 4, 2010 a non-resident Indian Gursewak Dhillon, living in the same house at David Street in Lalor as Gurshan, accidentally knocked him unconscious and put him in the boot of a car and after driving for three hours, dumped the body 20 km away in Oaklands Junction. Dhillon, accused of manslaughter due to criminal negligence, admitted that he made a mistake but had no intention. The bereft mother Harpreet Kaur spoke on SBS radio’s Punjabi programme that she was horrified by her boy’s death. She wondered how could the perpetrator fail to know that he was making such a small child the victim of such a big crime, and how he could inflict such a painful death on the child. How would her child have suffered that terrible death? “You can well imagine what’s going through a

Bihar, under its Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is scripting an economic turnaround that seemed impossible a few years back. What role can the Bihari Diaspora play in this? PRAVASI TODAY seeks some answers
BIHAR’S DIASPORA Can Contribute to the Turnaround BHUVANESHWARI DAS IYER
B
ihar is making news and it is not because of the politics of parochialism, as was unfortunately witnessed in Maharashtra; even Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit took pot-shots at Biharis, blaming them for a fair measure of the Capital’s civic woes. No – the state has, against all odds and expectations, clocked up an impressive performance in economic development, ranking next only to Gujarat, which leads the rest. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is suddenly the toast of the chattering classes; understandably so, as Bihar has emerged as the second fastest growing state in the country and its crime rate had fallen after the NDA government came to power PRAVASI TODAY | APRIL 2010

four years. To play his part, the state’s Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi is urging the Bihari Diaspora in Karnataka to connect with their home state and contribute in its development. Before we delve into the euphoria, a few figures would set things in perspective, though. Bihar has seen a 11 per cent CAGR in five years and had witnessed a plan expenditure of nearly Rs 51,000 crores from 2005-06 to 2009-10 as against Rs 25,000 crores from 1990 to 2004-05. Foreign tourist arrivals in the state had shot up to 3,56,000 in 2008 as against 94,446 in 2006. The state has witnessed 28 per cent growth in cement consumption till last November as compared to country’s average of 9 per cent. Mobile 18 çoklh VqMs | vizSy

connectivity had shot up to 2.6 crore till October 2009 as against 47 lakhs as of March 31, 2007. The state had received Rs 1,33,000 crores worth investment proposals out of which Rs 95,000 crores were in power sector alone. It would be premature to be carried away by the euphoria, though. Beyond the state’s capital Patna, conditions in Bihar are still a forcible reminder that a lot needs to be achieved before Bihar can truly shake off years of neglect and misrule. But importantly, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his team are committed to the state’s turnaround, and their efforts have begun to show. The statistics above are indicators of the state’s growth in the new administration. The Bangalore chapter of Bihar Foundation, inaugurated by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi is a timely initiative to develop a facilitation centre to non-resident Biharis interested in Bihar to connect. It is intended the Bihari Diaspora to be in touch with the state. The Bihar Development Initiative (BDI), a programme of CII is another move that has materialised after realizing the need to engage industry in a concerted effort to develop one of India’s key states with a lot of potential. CII’s Build Bihar campaign is unique in the sense that it aims to directly intervene in more active development in state while reviving and helping in the process of social and economic development. CII’s initiative envisages evolving a platform for cooperation by the vastly successful and talented Bihari Diaspora settled in many places across the globe. CII is associated through BDI with initiating, coordinating, and assisting volunteer efforts for progress in state social and development parameters. If the Diaspora of Bihar is to be harnessed for the state’s progress, its mention cannot be complete without touching base with People of Indian Origin (PIO) living in Mauritius, most of whom hail from Bihar. Mauritius of Bihari origin will now find it easier to trace their roots as the state government is going to open a single window system for them. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced that a single window system would be opened through which Mauritians of Bihari origin could find out their ancestral roots in Bihar. The Mauritius government, for its part, has initiated a move called “Trace

Bihar has emerged as the second fastest growing state in the country and its crime rate had fallen after the NDA government came to power.
your roots” to help people of Bihari origin, who are eager to trace their cultural roots and ancestral villages in Bihar. The relationship between Mauritius and Bihar was further strengthened after Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar’s visit Mauritius last year and Mauritian Prime Minister Naveen Chandra Ramgoolam’s reciprocal visit to the state. Bihar has a growing Diaspora, and it might surprise observers that regular complaints about migration from UP and Bihar to the rest of India, notwithstanding, data from the Ministry of External Affairs on new passports issued between January and November 2008 reveals a dramatic 68% increase from the two states, suggesting that the residents of the two states are now increasingly turning to opportunities outside the country. While personal travel may be a likely reason, Biharis have travelling to foreign countries in search of blue-collar jobs. The issue of passports, by the way, has been growing in all states of India, but the figures in several other states has still not breached the 1 lakh mark, except in the case of Uttar Pradesh, which in 2008 issued over 4 lakh passports, and Bihar, which also recently crossed the 1 lakh mark. Gujarat, though still leads the way, as do Punjab and Haryana from where people have traditionally preferred travelling abroad for jobs. The Diaspora from Bihar has been mostly heading for the Gulf countries in search of jobs in the past four years, according to official reports. More than 75,000 workers from Bihar have left for Middle East countries for jobs in the last four years. Reports from various sources point to a total of 21,812 workers going to Gulf countries in 2004, a number that has simply doubled the last four years. The maximum number of labourers going to the Gulf are minorities and came from Gopalganj, Siwan, Sitamarhi and Kishanganj districts. The great Indian political drama, with its myriad

layers also involves the politics of caste and religion, with the politics of region too emerging as a subaltern narrative in recent years. Biharis being blamed amongst various echelons of Indian political set-up is but one manifestation of this. But Biharis have excelled in al walks of life and have made India proud. There are innumerable Biharis who helped India register its presence globally. Perhaps the most prominent global face of the Bihar Diaspora is Biharborn Sanjay Jha, who with a $104 million pay packet in 2008, is mobile phone maker Motorola’s CEO and also America’s top-paid corporate chief executive. Others like BJP leader and former union minister Shatrughan Sinha, filmmaker Prakash Jha, noted actor Manoj Bajpai and others could said to constitute the ‘internal’ Bihar Diaspora, i.e. Biharis who have achieved fame and status outside their home states. Bihar’s recent efforts to break free of the sloth that has been its bane for decades can go along way with not inconsiderable help from its Diaspora, and indeed from the rest of India. Make no mistake; we all have a mighty stake in Bihar doing well. The region’s history and legacy have often determined the course of our nation, right from very ancient days. Its present attempts at regeneration require initiative and enterprise, and a little help from the government. Though comparisons are by no means fair, the South Indians of Mumbai, over four decades back faced similar regional animus, but simply refused to become ‘good enemies’ of those targeting them. Instead, the southern states got down to the serious task of improving their state of affairs; they, along with Gujarat, are now models of better governance, socio-economic improvement and burgeoning economic opportunities that beckon many. Bihar has a lot going for it, not least among these being a rich and fertile soil. With roads, power and phone, and flood control, the state of Bihar can provide jobs to many and can become rich in a decade. The state would then be envied and not despised. Q

deciding to change their base, as living there was becoming almost equivalent to living in the City of God. Criminal fiefdom personified. Not any more. Now move to the award presentation ceremony at the ET Awards for 2009, where Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, also known as Sushasan Babu, was felicitated with the Business Reformer of the Year. Speaking on the occasion, he boastfully avowed while equally armoured with a slapstick style of humour towards the aforementioned days that “I can only tell you that nobody talks about law and order these days. Rule of law has been established. And Bihar can be governed has also been established. We started from old Remington-type machine and you are giving us award for e-governance; that is the change and you have to change.” Welcome to Bihar Version 2.0 where, as the cliché goes, and as the CM rightly said, change is the only constant thing. In fact, the most remarkable and noticeable change is the change in perception of the common man of the state as well as of the other

onsider what Sankarshan Thakur wrote in his remarkable and excellent book, “The Making of Laloo Yadav: The Unmaking of Bihar” about the state of governance during the Laloo era: “Laloo Yadav had come to make a difference. Fifteen years into a promised era, he had achieved little magic, much tragedy. He reaped just rewards… What sets Bihar apart is the abject acceptance of wretchedness, the fracture of will to change, as if hope had been wiped from the memory of its genes… He (Laloo Yadav) wasn’t there to deliver power to the people, he was there to keep it for himself.” Those were really a rough sledging period for the state. It was as if the envelop of progress and development had lost its way. Never ever did it even dare to cling to crossroads. The times when Bihar was a criminal demesne. Notoriety of every sort had attained its pinnacle. Ransom killings, extortions, robberies, kidnappings, highway murders, open shootouts were counted as the state’s traits. Hence, getting terrified became a part of life. Most of the families were

11.35% over a five-year period from 2004-05 to 2008-09 against the 3.5% growth in the past five years. • Per capita income rose from Rs. 7,443 in 2004-05 to Rs. 13, 959 in 2009, says the ES. • Maintaining the trend, construction, communications and hotels and restaurants registered impressive growths of 35.8%, 17.68% and 17.71% respectively. Apart from these crunching numbers, immense “visible growth” has also taken place in the state. “The ground reality of the works done in the recent years could only be felt when one moves through the roads of the state,” said Mukesh, a childhood friend of mine. How come, I asked? He told me that the travel time has been cut by almost half with the construction of about 2,417 km of roads in 2008-09. Besides this, around 7,500 km of national, state and district highways have been built in the last four years. In addition to this, almost 1,600 bridges and culverts have been constructed in the last four years.

states towards her. Passé are the days of Jungle Raj, extortion and kidnapping, when the rule of law was a puppet in the hands of local politically-affiliated goons. Without any sense of fear lingering in their mind, people can now take a stroll at night, which was inconceivable till the recent past. Growth stories apart, the most indelible accomplishment of Nitish Kumar’s government is restoration of faith in the rule books amongst the residents of the state. To achieve this, his government has put a number of dons, henchmen and their footsoldiers behind the bars. Siwan is no more a no man’s land. Mohd. Shahabuddin, who once challenged the state administration to put him behind the bars, along with Pappu Yadav and Munna Shukla could be seen bearing their destiny behind the bars. Besides this, his government has passed a legislation whereby the properties of those who have been charge-sheeted will be confiscated. In an interview to a Mint, CM Kumar said that “in 2004, the number of kidnappings for ransom cases, which created a very bad image for Bihar, was 400-plus. Now it has come down to 70-80 cases.” Seconding the fact is the World Bank, which says that “by all accounts, law and order has improved, and informal surveys show that many people see a change for the better.” As per the Economic Survey presented by Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, the state stands in the 28th number in the crime graph of the country. Bihar’s economic growth rate is making buzz in different corners of the world. It has even been termed as a miracle economy, with a stupendous 11.03% GDP growth rate between the five-year period of 2004-05 and 2008-09, which leaves it by a whisker behind Gujarat, whose GDP grew by 11.05% in the same period. Let us juggle with some more numbers to understand the picture in a more articulated manner. • According to the state’s Economic Survey (ES) 2009-10, it registered an annual growth rate of

Boosting growth of automobiles can also be felt as it surged to 45% in 2009. A sense of optimism and the wind of change can also be sniffed in various other sectors like health, education and tourism. With Rs. 600 crore spent on improving the hospital infrastructure in the state, and 1,800 doctors hired on a contractual basis, the number of babies delivered in healthcare centers skyrocketed from 45, 000 in 2005 to around 13 lakhs in 2009-10. On the other hand, the number of out-of-school children has slumped tremendously by 77% between 2006-07 and 2008-09. To lure more students towards schools, the government has started giving Rs. 700 for shoes, uniform and school bag to kids aged 6-8 and 1.5 lakh cycles have been given free to girls in Standard IX. In addition to this, the government is operating residential facilities for students of SC, ST and OBC categories. In a recent statement, Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi had stated that “ in the last four years, we have seen a complete turnaround in Bihar, including a 400% growth in the number of foreign tourists coming here.” Along side the full bloom of the “economic flower”- on which the government had worked a lot, and achieved a lot – the social development sector is also seeking attention. With the growth flashlights sparkling, it seems that inclusive social development has been kept in the dark. According to a data compiled by Citizen’s Alliance against Malnutrition, the state is home to almost 58 per cent malnourished children. It has also been found that the state has not been impressive while using the funds allotted to it under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). Also, the growth story drafted by Nitish Kumar government is not an all-inclusive one. Some of the positive criticisms doing the round are that the Bihar Growth Story is all because of the construction sector. Nothing much has been accomplished in other sectors like

Apart from the crunching exponentially growing numbers, immense “visible growth” has also taken place in the state. A sense of optimism and the wind of change can also be sniffed in various other sectors like health, education and tourism
agriculture, manufacturing et al. The state should also start mending this sobering statistics which states that it has a poverty and hunger average of 2.7% against a national average of 1.9%. Further shattering the image of the state is the fact that almost 58.4% of its children under the age of three are underweight. But one also cannot deny the fact that it is the first state to reserve 50% seats for women in Panchayat Raj Institutions and other local bodies. Till now, development of the state depended largely on the state’s coffin. In order to attain phenomenal growth, Nitish Kumar and his coterie has been trying hard to woo prominent investors to put their money in the state. They know it very well that the state is bejeweled with immense efficacious human resource. It is only a matter of time when the light at the end of the tunnel will be easily visible. As has been succinctly put by Shaibal Gupta, a noted economist that, “we never had a functioning state – neither before independence nor after independence…under Nitish Kumar, for the first time, the state started functioning marginally. And with improved functioning of the state, things have dramatically improved.” Expecting moon will certainly take some time. Till then, we can be pleased with the discovery of craters and water (read: Q progress) there.

t is neither an inspiration nor a lift. Call it sheer coincidence, Road, a movie directed by Dev Benegal is a movie about travelling cinema through a road journey. It is not just another filmi story; but also mirrors reality. NGO SPRIHA, which works in field of igniting imagination in children, has initiated a movement called “Sadak Chaap Film Festival”. The festival is organized with a conviction that screening films on beautiful children should move beyond the confines of AC theatres, halls and starred auditoriums. It is an attempt of bringing movies to those who cannot visit cinema halls. SPRIHA, along with Children Film Festival Society (www.cfsindia.org) of the Government of India, screen the best of Indian movies for children at various streets, localities, colonies and slums. “Sadak Chhaap Film Festival is quite informal in nature. We identify any densely populated slum and try to organize the festival there. We just hang up a projector and a couple of banners

transparent model to take the cause forward with community participation. Most interesting is the fact that sponsors also arrange for fruit breaks instead of the standard popcorn breaks, as children relish fruits while watching movies. The festival has gained very good momentum as this is for the first time in the history of independent India that a street film festival for the children of slums and villages’ is being organized with a positive spirit of decentralizing the very institution of children film festivals across the country. So, far, ‘Sadak Chhaap Film Festival’ has travelled to New Seema Puri Basti in Delhi, Dharavi, Mumbai (Maharashtra), Maruti Seva Nagar in Bangalore (Karnataka) and Jharkhand. The movie Road would have been a filmi fantasy or a dream for Dev Benegal, but for thousands of children deprived of right to entertainment, Sadak Chaap Film Festival is indeed a dream come true.

Though French culture is dominant, Indian symbols are very visible. The tika can still be seen on the foreheads of most Mauritian married Hindu women. Half of the many cinemas in Mauritius show exclusively Indian films with no subtitles. A major component of Indians speaks Bhojpuri and its culture and traditions are dominant among the cultures belonging to Indian migrant communities, touching all facets of Indo-Mauritian life. Bhojpuri words are often used in local parlance by people other than the PIOs like the Creoles, with words like batchara and tamassa, roti and faratha, bhajiya and

A large number of Indians were taken to Mauritius during the period 1834-1890, to replace African slave labour in sugarcane plantations. Although the bulk of them went as indentured labourers there were also artisans, merchants, free passengers and Hindu pundits who went from India in 19th century but retained their links. The majority of them were Bhojpuri speakers hailing from the north eastern provinces of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, while some came from South India to further their careers as traders or artisans, and were speakers of Tamil and Telegu.

auritius holds special significance for India, being the only country in the world where the majority of the population is People of Indian Origin (PIO), comprising approximately 65% of the total population of roughly a million. Like India, it fought for independence against British colonizers and has had a PIO-led government since independence. Mauritians are not a monolithic lot and are divided on linguistic, (Bhojpuri and non-Bhojpuri) religious (Hindu-Muslim) and caste lines, and yet have been able to retain political control since 1948 when adult suffrage was introduced. Given their large numbers, they play a major part in national politics, constituting the only group of the Indian Diaspora that has continuously dominated politics in their adopted homeland.

Indo- Mauritius Links As compared to other countries, the gravitational pull from India is strongly felt in Mauritius. Mauritius was the first country to which Nehru, under his interim Prime Ministership appointed India’s first ever High Commissioner in 1946.On his way from South Africa to India in 1902, Mahatma Gandhi, visited Mauritius. He met PIO community leaders and advised them to educate their children and to take active part in politics. Gandhi’s political inspiration to PIO in Mauritius also involved sending Manilal Doctor to Mauritius in 19071 to arouse the political consciousness of Indians. Doctor’s efforts were carried forward by PIO leaders like Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, whose consistent
a pivotal role in stimulating and enhancing mutual bilateral trade, investments, transfer of technology and tourism. The Indian government has also been encouraging the active participation of the PIOs of Mauritius in all areas of national development. There has been the emergence of a plethora of association of PIO and an increasing celebration of ‘Indian festivals’ and ‘Indian arrival day’. As a majority of Mauritian PIOs are from Bihar, there are plans underway to connect their descendants with the land of their origin and preserve the Bhojpuri language which is beginning to lose ground to
effort had led to ascendancy of political power by PIOs. Despite internal divisions, Indians have been able to retain political power in Mauritius. Successive Indian governments, after Mauritius’ independence, have maintained very close relations with the island nation. It has received huge financial and human resource development support from India, which has kept a close watch on the democratic set-up of Mauritius as in the past attempts have been made to dispossess PIO politically through non-democratic means. With India’s new Diaspora policy, many African countries have tried to use the presence of

PIOs tend to share a number of ideas about self that set them socially apart from non-Indian Mauritians, embedded in cultural stereotypes, and are part and parcel of Mauritian culture now. While they strongly assert their cultural identity, they also feel a strong compulsion to affirm and define their Mauritian personality. The PIOs have been very assertive about their cultural identity vis-à-vis other communities, but are very much integrated in the multi-ethnic Mauritian society. The cultural link between the PIOs and India has allowed their relationship to grow.

HOME LOANS FOR NRIS IN INDIA Eligibility of NRIs for home loans and the documents needed NRIs are eligible for loans to purchase residential properties in India. Different banks use different criteria for lending to NRIs, but all banks mandate that the NRI has an account with the lending bank and also tend to earmark deposits held in addition to the mortgage on the property. The documentary requirements are similar to those applicable to local residents— personal detail documents (photographs, passport and visa copies, authority letter or power of attorney, driving licence, etc), financial detail documents (appointment letter, salary slip, bank statement, balance sheet, etc) and property documents (latest sale deed with previous chain link, allotment letter, payment plan and receipts for under construction properties, etc). Most banks also need him to have a close blood relative in India, who can be a co-applicant to his loan. Two home loans for two different properties An NRI cannot take the tax rebate applicable under Sections 24(b) and 80C for two loans on two different properties. He can, however, claim the interest on the second home loan as a loss under income from property if he is showing rental on that property as income. Reverse mortgage for senior citizen NRIs In reverse mortgage, senior citizens (borrowers), who own a house, but do not have regular income, can mortgage the same with the lender. In return, the lender makes periodic payment to the borrowers during their lifetime. In spite of mortgaging the house, the borrower can continue to stay in it during his entire life span and continue to receive regular flows of income from the lender as well.

Mumbai developers seem to have given up on housing for the middle-class. Most new launches are looking at the Rs1-crore residential houses project. Take Kalpataru developers — it is building a 750-unit project — Kalpataru Aura — in Ghatkopar. The project launched a couple of months ago has properties in the price range of Rs1.25 crore to Rs1.50 crore. Its Malad project, Kalpataru Pinnacle, will have 80 exclusive apartments, each priced at around Rs3 crore. Lodha Developers has launched a 42-storey apartment building, Lodha Imperia, at Bhandup, with flat prices inching towards the Rs1-crore mark. The target audience of these builders is apparently NRIs from Europe and the US.

tion • Using incentives for sectoral and regional development of the country. The second misconception is regarding inflation.

ing, and this borrowing is not being used for investment. The revenue deficit has to be very low; otherwise the country will get into a debt trap, although gross fiscal deficit can sometimes help in stimulating growth. The budget fails to tackle this important issue which is also one of the causes of fueling inflation. The overall analysis of the budget shows that the focus seems firstly to be on capital market, to help government in its disinvestment programme, further evident from the benefits announced for corporate • Service tax has been kept unchanged • Excise on majority items, except some remains the same at 8% • Enhancements in the incentives for research. Secondly, the focus is for attracting foreign investment, overlooking the caution pointed out by TFC and Economic Survey on the ill-effects of uncontrolled foreign flows to domestic economy. The provision of a superregulator in the financial market with the FM at the top may lead to political interference and hurt the independence of the existing financial regulator too.

tion and providing only Rs 400 crores will not bring results • No large scale incentives in the budget for increasing production and supply chain management • Agro-commodity demand is inelastic and with extreme volatility on the supply side, due to variations in the climatic condition, people in power use inefficiencies in the marketplace to create artificial geographical arbitrages, rice and sugar being clear examples • There is lot of manipulation in the commodity market. This is because there is no proper integration of the spot with futures market. FMC, the regulator is not fully empowered and doesn’t have the resources to properly regulate this segment. The mere existence of the market does not help in transparency and price discovery. It has to be well regulated and managed. Nothing has been done on this count. The third concern was the fiscal consolidation and management of budgetary deficit. Though the budget talks of reducing revenue deficit and gross fiscal deficit, if we go in depth, this seems unachievable because there is unrealistic expectation on growth of revenue from 5% to 15% and fall in non-plan expenditure from 16% to 4%. The second important issue is the problem of ratio of revenue deficit to gross fiscal deficit, which is above 75%, meaning thereby that the government consumption is being financed through borrow-

Commission (TFC) Report and the Economic Survey released earlier had clearly said that inflation is one of the major causes of concern. The budget fails to tackle inflation in right earnest. Its focus is more towards the khaas aadmi rather than aam aadmi, as brought out below in some of the provisions: • Tax slabs have been reduced for higher income groups • Lower exemption slab has not been increased from Rs. 1,60,000 • Concession has been given to taxpayers but the fact is that the number of taxpayers in the country is very low in comparison to larger number of other populations • Standard deduction for government employees not reintroduced • Direct tax reduced by Rs. 26000 cr, but indirect tax has been increased by Rs. 46000 cr. This affects the common man badly • Hike in fuel price, which is inflationary. Further, the Parikh Committee Report is yet to be implemented, which will further increase fuel prices • Service tax on freight has been introduced, which will have a cascading effect on prices On the price front, TFC had also vindicated the government for mismanagement of its supply chain and its faulty policy with regards to its release of food grains at the time of shortages. Nothing has been done to increase the supply side. • Mere talk of making the North East part of the country as a hub for a second Green Revolu-

achin Tendulkar has added another feather to his cap by becoming the first cricketer to score a double-century in a oneday game. During the last 20 years of his still active cricketing career, one has lost count of the cricket records that he has broken and the ones he has re written. While doing all this, he has maintained the values and virtues the game of cricket is so famous for. His approach and behaviour, both on and off the field has been exemplary, particularly in today’s times, where winning at any cost is all that matters. It is quite extraordinary that in all his press conferences and interviews over the years, he has not spoken one word out of the bounds of courtesy and politeness, which speaks volumes about the man’s character and personality. He has been given out wrongly umpteen times (by umpires’ own confessions) even in the nineties, but has

bowl bad balls to him. He hits good ones for four. Mark Waugh – There are two kind of cricketers : 1 – Sachin Tendulkar and 2 – the rest Bookmakers would not fix the odds on the match till Tendulkar was out. The late Raj Singh believed that nobody could fix a cricket match because there is only one man good enough to influence a match on his own and he would never even think of it. Tendulkar has passion not only for the game but also for everything it stands for. That is exactly why he has maintained his integrity, dignity, probity and virtuosity while many famous sportsmen all over the world have been falling from grace for letting fame and money go to their heads. Tendulkar in 1992 created history by being the first nonwhite player to play for the English county Yorkshire, certainly the snootiest of places. Cricket-lovers in Yorkshire and indeed all over England took him to their hearts as he enthralled them with his performance on and off the field.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that Sachin Tendulkar is rated as the best batsman in the world after Sir Don Bradman. At the risk of creating a controversy, I’d like to place him ahead on the grounds that the late Sir Don, first of all, did not play this extent of cricket and certainly not in such different forms. He did not have to carry the hopes and aspirations of a billion Australians on his shoulders, which in itself is a mammoth task. Coping with it and not letting it affect one’s performance is even more commendable. One must remember that in his last Test innings at the Oval in 1948, Sir Don was so overwhelmed by the love and adoration and ovation of the crowd that he lost his concentration and got out off the first ball he received. Sadly, we all realise that Sachin is coming towards the end of his career and there may not be much left to achieve in terms of statistics. But one hopes that he stays around for as long he enjoys playing and possibly till he becomes the first batsman to score 100 international centuries. It should not take him long, considering the way he has been playing over the last six months. One earnestly wishes him the very best in life. He richly deserves it, having earned it.

never demonstrated against decisions, quietly walking off the field. Perhaps it is poetic justice that former ICC match referee Mike Denness, who banned him for a Test for alleged ball-tampering, has disappeared from public memory. Ups and downs in a career of such length and proportions are quite natural, but Sachin has faced them with grace and dignity and taken all the criticism that elements like Bal Thackeray and the media, particularly Star TV, had the audacity to throw at him. Sachin has rather chosen to let his bat do the talking. His composure has often made his detractors look petty. I had the privilege of watching his one-day double century, which must come close to the best innings he has ever played. There are no words to describe that innings, with commentators running out of superlatives. It was batting at its glorious best; an innings that any cricketer in the world, old or new, would have been proud to own. Sachin is worshipped in India and admired by cricket-lovers all over the world but the real test of one’s talent is when he is admired by his own fellow sportsmen. Sample what some contemporaries say about Sachin – Matthew Hayden – I have seen God. He plays at No.4 for India. Brian Lara – Sachin is a genius. I am a mere mortal. Hansie Cronje – I had to remind Gary Kirsten he was in the cover to field against Sachin, not applaud him!! Michael Kasprowicz – Don’t

is to show how the stark differences in India get painfully highlighted in all facets of life
Name of the Book: 2 States (The story of my marriage) Author: Chetan Bhagat Price: Rs. 95 Publisher: Rupa
..................................................................................................................
The point of the story
Chetan Bhagat has NOT MISTAKEN!
“2 states” is a semi-autobiographical love story of the author. A love story between two IIM graduates, Krish Malhotra from Punjab and Ananya Sreenivasan from Tamil Nadu. It is about how they convince their parents to love each others family. In simple words, a pinch of DDLJ tossed with Chetan’s brand of dramatism and simple humour. Chetan’s ‘Five Point Some One’ and ‘2 states’ are different from his other two works ‘Three mistakes of my life’ and ‘One night at the call center’ on the basis that both are made out of a leaf from real life. Krish struggles to be accepted by his would be in-laws. Ditto for Ananya : her would be mother-in-law can not imagine she does not know how to make masala bhindi. The humour is situational as well as slapdash and does manage to make the reader play a smile all along. The story touches the emotional chord, too, at places. In fact, all facets of a relationship have been shortly dealt with : father-son, mother-daughter, father-in-law-son-inlaw, protege - you get the picture. The point of the story is to show how the stark differences in India get painfully highlighted in all facets of life. But, love can conquer all the trivialities. Bhagat is talking to the countless lovelorn Indians who have been left heart broken because of traditions. The writing style is simple again which most literary buffs criticise Bhagat about. As it is a first person point of view, it looked Ananya has a subdued role. It feels, at places, that Tamilians and Punjabis are being stereotyped though the author claims to be otherwise. It is a pop effort to address a contemporary issue and Bhagat pulls it off successfully. It is again interesting that the author has dedicated the book to his in-laws; something he admits is a first in publishing.

PUSHKAR
The Picturesque Lakeside Town More than 400 temples in a small Indian town by a beautiful semi-circular lake with 52 lovely ghats is a surprise. Welcome to Pushkar, one of the most sacred sites for Hindus, whose camel and cattle fair is a major tourist attraction. Situated about 11 kms northwest of Ajmer in the Aravalli Mountains in Rajasthan, Pushkar offers an exciting range of activities to its visitor
armed idol of Lord Brahma. It has marble floors and stairs where it is customary for the devotees to put coins to mark the births and deaths of their loved ones. The second most important temple in Pushkar is Savitri Temple, dedicated to goddess Savitri, wife of Lord Brahma. Located just behind the Brahma Temple on a hilltop providing a panoramic view of the scenic is the Pushkar Lake. The Varah Temple is also one of the most sacred temples in Pushkar, dedicated to Lord Vishnu in His incarnation of the wild boar. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu rescued Mother Earth in the incarnation of a Varah (wild boar) and slew the atrocious demon Hirnayaksh who had captured the planet. The Rangji Temple strikes one with its magnificent South Indian style of architecture. The temple,

There are about 400 temples in Pushkar including Apteshwar Temple, Mahadev Temple, Gayatri Temple, Raghunath Temple, Pap Mochini Temple, Ramavaikunth Temple and the Saraswati Temple. The Man Mahal and Puskar Palace are historical forts and palaces. It is said that Lord Brahma’s lotus fell on the earth and a lake of clear blue water emerged at its place. 400 temples 52 palaces and 52 ghats surround the lake where the world renowned Pushkar fair is organized on the occasion of Kartik Purnima every year. The bank of the Puskar Lake certainly relaxes one’s mind in the evening after a day-long sojourn in the bustling fairs.

enowned as a spiritual tourist attraction, Pushkar becomes a colourful fairground in the month of Kartik (October-November) when the annual Pushkar fair is held. During this time, the sacred little town looks like a centre of versatile tourist activities. Hindu pilgrims come for the holy dip in the Pushkar Lake, with the maximum gathering on Kartik Poornima (full-moon day of Kartik month). According to belief, a dip in the Pushkar Lake on this auspicious occasion brings salvation to devotees. Pushkar’s Brahma temple is the only place in the world where Lord Brahma (The Creator of the world, according to Hindu mythology) is worshipped. The temple holds special significance for Hindus and has a life-size four-

Combating Terrorism THE RÂMÂYAN’S MESSAGE
MANOJ SRIVASTAVA
It would be naive on the part of anyone to believe that terrorism subscribes to any other value system that the cult of endless violence. Those who have any illusions on this score are welladvised to read the training manuals of Al Qaeda, which, among other things, also carry details of different types of
physical torture to be inflicted upon the adversary. It would then be very instructive and informative to compare these with Goswâmî Tulsîdâs’ description of the Râkshasas (demons): “Hinsâ Par Ati Preeti Tinh Kay Pâpahi Kavan Meeti” (The atrocities of those in love with violence know no limits at all) to fully comprehend the true nature and goals of terrorists, whether of the days of yore or today. The Al Qaeda’s training manual clearly and unambiguously corroborates the point: “It knows the dialogue of bullets, the ideals of assassinations, bombings and destruction, and the diplomacy of the cannon and the machine gun. Islamic governments have never and will never be established through peaceful solutions and co-operative councils.” What clearer expression of, or declaration of faith in the cult of violence is possibly needed? The Râkshasas of yore had indeed, openly declared that their only goal was to weaken and destroy their perceived adversaries by any means available to them, succinctly explained by Tulsîdâs ji: “Jehi Vidhi Hoi Dharma Nirmûlâ, So Sab Karahin Ved Pratikûlâ.” (We shall do everything to uproot Vedic Dharma and destroy it forever). What can be the possible solution to this state of affairs, one that threatens the very existence of human civilisation itself? If one were to embrace the message of the Sundar Kând in the Râmâyan, both Maharshi Vâlmîki and Goswâmî Tulsîdâs are unambiguous in their verdict that terrorists must be squarely confronted in their hideouts and places of dwelling and destroyed. Bhagwân Shri Râm does not accept the terrorism of the Râkshas clan as ‘negotiable’ – no, not even for a moment – and is sworn to wipe out the scourge from its very roots; indeed He has sworn to rid the world of its demons. Mind, you, it was no lone wolf terrorism (or in today’s parlance, mindless violence of a few ‘misguided elements’) that Râm faced. Lanka was the epicentre of global terrorism in His age. Khar, Dooshan, Trishira, Subâhu or Mârîch were no ‘lone’ or ‘individual; terrorists, but sleeper cells of a vast terror network who could be activated for letting loose an orgy of destruction upon the innocent, Lanka being their central command headquarters. Though these elements would operate individually and quite autonomously, their final refuge and domain of faith was doubtlessly the

Rakshas Empire of Lanka. Hidden – and not so hidden – sympathisers (and supporters) of today’s global terrorism like Teesta Setalvad and numerous others of her ilk brazenly refuse to any terrorism in the carnages regularly being carried out in India’s cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, though they’re quick to raise howls of protests of “human rights violations” against the defence forces of their own(?) country, whenever it acts against terrorist elements. It is no secret that no terrorist attack can be successfully carried out unless its planners and perpetrators are assured about weapons’, logistic, financial and local support. Lanka in Râvan’s age nurtured, exported and shielded terrorists. Whenever the terrorists suffered a heavy defeat, its local agents used to scurry away to their safe sanctuary to complain – just as Shûrpanakhâ did to Râvan, after the rout of the local terror network of Khar and Dooshan, in Dandakâranya at Râm’s hands. Let us not be under illusion whatsoever. The use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy, to achieve political and diplomatic goals has been in vogue since time immemorial. Lanka under Râvan is perhaps the best instance of this phenomenon, his empire being an example of “ownership terrorism.” Such evil states also garner wealth to fund and sustain terrorism, Saudi moneybag Osama bin Laden and India’s most wanted and fugitive mafia terrorist don Dawood Ibrahim (now in safe sanctuary in Pakistan) being modern-day examples of this age-old phenomenon. The Memon brothers, Tiger and Ayub, Chhota Shakeel, etc, also flush with crime money, are examples of the lesser minions under the direct control of the global terror mafia. During the early phases of modern-day terrorism as we know and recognise it today, one infamous Carlos the Jackal kidnapped the oil ministers of 11 oilproducing countries from Vienna and was successful in obtaining a ransom of millions of dollars in return for their safe release. Similar was the case with Râvan’s global empire, whose gateways, palaces and ramparts of gold find detailed mention in the scriptures and history. Renowned American political analyst and writer on global affairs Noam Chomsky reveals that inherently evil states too, put on a veneer of overt civil behaviour in order to maintain a facade of credibility, which too, is a very old practice. Râvan, whose Râkshas empire was an epitome of evil, too indulged in the worship of Shiva and performed innumerable yagnas, just as today’s terrorist states – or non-states – invoke Allah and religion as justification for their inhuman evil. But just

as there could be absolutely no morally relativist comparison of the Lanka-sponsored terrorism with Râm’s noble mission, so too today’s terrorist states cannot stand even an iota of comparison with humanising nation like India.

Vedic hymns were in effect, the early form of praise or prayer to nature. And certain texts were the first musical compositions, although with fewer notes than the present octave.

the lower energy centes (chakras) of our psychosomatic physiology. The music we hear and imbibe has something to do with how it is composed and recorded. The rhythm box for most compositions are programmed along with harmonic tones and side percussion. Then each of the many tracks are sequenced, leaving blank the vocal. So far only the composer is involved, with no trace of live musicians. Then the vocalist arrives, listens to the existing tracks, and records his voice. All the tracks are then mixed, and rerecorded. Hardly any real instrumentalists are involved in the process, much less to interact among themselves. Many such compositions do assure a quick high, but are soon forgotten. Perhaps that’s what people want and are willing to pay for it take it, use it, drop it - much like a commodity. Compare this with all instru-

mentalists sitting together with the vocalist and the composer - their body language, eye gestures, smiles, exchange of breath, merger of energy vibrations, and intermingling of their emotions and musicality. Then something is produced which is alive and coherent, and is a real act of creation. This is not to say that everything old is better than everything new, or that all commercial music is uncreative. But just imagine the kind of music you would listen to relax and heal yourself, to quiten your mind, or the kind of songs you start humming unconsciously when you wake up.

theatre - there are four basic criteria for excellence in rendition: craftsmanship or knowledge of the art form, passion and creativity for mastering the chosen art, entertainment of the audience, and educational content or message of the artist. It appears that the primary focus of “music aaj kal” is on entertainment, although the other aspects are not completely ignored. Luckily, there are still many accomplished classical musicians around, and many popular artists have some grounding in classical music. Popular music, like literature, is a mirror of the contemporary society. This age of consumerism fuelled by technological advances has heightened the lust to extract the most out of life by filling it with objects and fantasies. More of everything is seen as a means to enjoy life, more so than living a meaningful life to be able to enjoy things produced by technology. This has shrunk the timescale of experiencing all that is happening all around us. Faster heartbeats, quicker acquisitions, rapid succession of thoughts, quick ‘turnover’ of relationships, higher decibels of sound everywhere, and short attention span, etc. are all contributing to accelerating the pace of our thought and action. Is this being reflected in the pop music being produced today? I would venture to say - yes! Most of music we hear on the street and in movie theatres are fast-paced rhythms, high-pitch vocals, and programmed electronic sounds with a heavy dose of low frequency rhythm beats to stimulate

seeking revenge on a top pop star (real-life references here cannot be missed), by way of a “sting operation”, which she does through a defeated ex-Tehelka operator, turns the other way round. One word for the entire cast – simply spectacular! How can you comment on something that is made to look so regular, so ordinary that you think you can do it? Sure there is a connection between the stories in terms of characters crossing paths, but it seeps deep. As for the curious, sleaze is not part of LSD’s visuals – just part of its account – except for one “explicitly blurred” scene of the actual act of sex. Human depravity watched through a little hidden camera looks all the more immoral, and so, whenever there’s a “naughty” dialogue or scene that brings out sniggers, the mirth eventually dies down when the gravity of the situation sinks in. The commonness of the conversations, the incidents, and the narrative has an everyday, indoor feel to it. It’s neither about the big star cast or music, which by the way is very good but surely it’s a must watch.

is digitally shot, captured by a hand-held camera, a closed-circuit TV camera and a spy cam respectively. This feature does stir up admiration for the hand that helmed this flick. People laugh at other people’s misery unless it is leashed upon them. The Rashmi–Adarsh story symbolizes the main idea behind the film. The second plot is a drama around the socially relevant issue of secretly shot pictures of nude women, set in a 24x7 departmental store with security cameras and how a man plays with the faith of the innocent girl. The third story shows up the hidden face of the media. The media claims to expose the ugly face of society but the question arises: how selfless are they themselves? Does its hunger for primetime entertainment news make it go to any extent to get frivolous news and make it talk of the nation? The media banks on the same interfering human nature to pick its stories. The theme of betrayal, personal infidelity and how unfaithful the media is with us – is emphasized by crossing, double-crossing, triple-crossing and more in the Prabhat-Nayna story where an aspiring dancer

The good, old and mighty camera works wonders for people. It can destroy homes or make lives. Love Sex and Dhokha (LSD) establishes a new landmark. It is a combination of three stories; one based on love, the other on sex and ultimately leading to dhokha (betrayal). It shows the terrifying emotional frailty and shallowness of the society we live in; not something new, but the way it is narrated definitely rephrases the whole scenario of looking at these issues. The first story starts with a young director who is a fan of Aditya Chopra and is obsessed with DDLJ. He makes an inaccurate movie spoof taken from it finds his Simran, the heroine and daughter of the movie’s producer; both fall in love, but the rich, bad daddy is an obstacle to their “happily ever after”, so they run away and elope. The love affair sadly ends upon a heartbreaking note. The movie is not all that fictitious and is close to reality and

It will be held from March 11 till June 20. In the words of the director of the Gallery, Sandy Nairne, “these exquisite depictions are wrought with dazzling skill and technical brilliance – as vivid likenesses of people, their surroundings and often radiant costumes.” These portraits will showcase various facets and features of those three centuries – the lavish courts of the Mughals, the assigned courtiers and servants. Encapsulating the charming and touching influence of the Iranians and Europeans, it also portrays the beauty, power and humanity of the yesteryears.

ON A ROLL SPREE
These days she is on a busy mode. With four high profile Hollywood roles under her kitty, Freida Pinto is on the seventh heaven. After Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger, which is in the pipeline of a fall 2010 release, Pinto is occupied with three other films. She has completed the shooting of Miral, the story of an Israeli girl brought up in a Jerusalem orphanage in the 1950s. She is also going to work with Indian-origin filmmaker Tarsem Singh’s “hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style”, Dawn of War with actor Mickey Rourke. Apart from it, she is also attached to a black comedy, American Empire, to be directed by Andy Armstrong. Speaking on the rumours about her unsuccessful auditions for playing the Bond girl, she said, “It was very flattering, I must say, and I don’t know if I would have done it. I’m too young to be a Bond girl.”
VATSALA IS THE LATEST BEAUTY QUEEN OF NEPAL
..........................................................................
23-year old Vatsala Sharma is the latest heartthrob in Nepal. This Nepali girl of Indian origin has been chosen amongst 12 Nepali contestants as the latest beauty queen of the country. The 5 ft 6 inch damsel was also coronated as Miss Nepal Worldwide 2010 and Miss Beautiful Skin, by the event organized by Nepalese Council, which works for the promotion of Indo-Nepal relations and support charity for children. “Vatsala is very talented and confident girl, she will definitely promote Nepal in international arena,” said Baba Sarkar, one of the judges. She will also promote Nepal tourism during her south African tour for the Miss India Worldwide contest.
BENGALI FILMS TO BE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS US AND CANADA Databazaar Media Ventures, a Florida based IndianAmerican media group is all set to bring Bengali films to the “entire foreign film viewing market in North America”. It has its plans to screen and distribute “quality Bengali films” through more than 19,000 retail outlets in US and Canada. “Our first release, Dwando, from National Award winning director Suman Ghosh, is already available for pre-order wherever NRIs buy, rent or download movies”, Oney Seal, Founder and CEO of the Group said. However, according to one of the founding members of DMV, Devasish Ray, they “are missing (the) link that ensures the most effective marketing of modern Bengali films.”

CRICKET CANADA WOOING SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY Since 2008, when it got an official recognition from International Cricket Council (ICC), Canada has leapfrogged to rope in both boys and girls towards the game. With winters in the country, Indian-born Atul Ahuja, former CEO of Cricket Canada, has set in motion the Cricket Champions League, whereby they have wooed a major chunk of the South Asian community. Being the first indoor played league in the world, it will see 14 teams (including three women’s team) fighting for recognition. “We have got a huge response. Now that we have got the status of national sports from the government, leagues are the way to develop cricket in Canada,” Ahuja said. The money from the sporting tourney will be donated among the victims of the disastrous earthquake in Haiti. PRAVASI TODAY | APRIL 2010
