Modi’s call at UN climate summit Pledges to more than double India’s non-fossil fuel target to 400 GW
“What we need is a global people’s movement to bring about behavioural change,” the Prime Minister said. “The respect for nature, the judicious use of resources, reducing our needs and living within our means
UNITED NATIONS, SEP 23 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday gave a clarion call for a “global people’s movement” to bring about a behavioral change to deal with climate change as he made a path-breaking pledge to more than double India’s non-fossil fuel target to 400 gigawatts. In his Independence Day speech, Modi had announced that India will produce 175 GW of non-fossil fuel as part of its commitment to the Paris Climate agreement. Monday’s announcement during Modi’s speech at the global climate summit goes well beyond the pledge of 175 GW. “We must accept that if we have to overcome a serious challenge like climate change, then what we are doing at the moment is just not enough,” Modi told world leaders at the summit

organised by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres here. In his first engagement at the United Nations, Modi noted that various efforts are being made by different countries to fight climate change and said what is needed today is a comprehensive approach which covers everything from education to values, and from lifestyle to developmental philosophy. “The time for talks is over. The world needs to act now,” Modi asserted in the presence of President Trump, who made an unscheduled appearance at UN summit. Modi said India would
increase the share of nonfossil fuel and by 2022 “we will increase our renewable energy capacity to much beyond 175 GW and take it further to 400 GW.” The Climate Action Summit aims to boost action to implement the Paris Agreement, which was signed in 2015. The Paris deal aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
MoRTH directs states, UTs Spl. Correspondent
NEW DELHI, SEV 23 (NPN): Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has asked states and union territories (UTs) to ensure that all pollution under control (PUC) centres upload emission test data electronically to VAHAN database as per guidelines issued in compliance with Supreme Court directions. The ministry has reiterated the necessity of linking all vehicle data with VAHAN database to avoid harassment and inconvenience to citizens. “This information should be available to citizens in electronic form also in m-Parivahan and e-Challan platforms for their convenience,” stated the MoRTH. In a letter to the chief secretaries of all the states and union territories, the Ministry has stressed upon adopting this step urgently especially since the operationalization of certain provisions of the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 and the revised provisions for penalties for driving vehicle violating air pollution standards etc.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the Climate Action Summit on Monday by saying: “Earth is issuing a chilling cry: Stop.” Guterres told world leaders that it’s not a time to negotiate but to act to make the world carbon neutral by 2050. “The climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win,” said Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in a statement issued before the summit formally opened, which announced that 66 countries have now signalled their intent to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. He wants to limit global temperature increases to a few more tenths of a degree, and he said the world can do it. “The best science,
have all been important aspects of both our traditions and present day efforts. And therefore India today has come not just to talk about the seriousness of this issue, but to present a practical approach and a roadmap,” he added.
according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, tells us that any temperature rise above 1.5 degrees will lead to major and irreversible damage to the ecosystems that support us,” Guterres said. “Science tells us that on our current path, we face at least 3 degrees Celsius of global heating by the end of the century...This is not a climate talk summit. We have had enough talk,” he added. Some 60 world leaders came together at the UN on Monday for a “climate emergency” summit aimed at reinvigorating the faltering Paris agreement, at a time when mankind is releasing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than at any time in history.
AKMWP backs PAC’s anti-collection drive DIMAPUR, SEP 23 (NPN): Association of Kohima Municipal Wards Panchayat(AKMWP) has extended support to the Public Action Committee (PAC)’s concluded week-long “Operation Check Gate” against illegal collection at check gates and describing it as “yet another important milestone in the people’s fight against unceasing exploitation of the masses in the state.” This was contained in a press release issued by AKMWP president Neibulie Kiewhuo, general secretary Thejao Sekhose and legal advisor and joint secretary Hukato Chishi. AKMWP further went on to state that the “parasitic and much despised illegal collection/extortion” in Dimapur have remained central to the compelling sky high rocketing price of goods and services which had to be borne by the consumers. The signatories reminded that prices of goods after passing through the “notorious check gates” become mysteriously inflated and at times, the selling price even multiples the original MRP. AKMWP hit out at those involved in “draining the blood of our economy dry.” The signatories reiterated that PAC’s initiative and efforts towards the cause was most praiseworthy and deserved all possible support.
Asserting that ‘Operation Check Gate’ has been its mature and rather subdued conduct, AKMWP appreciated and congratulated the PAC convenor and colleagues, volunteers, NGOs, individuals and everyone involved directly or indirectly in the initiative. AKMWP said it expected any positive change in Dimapur would reverberate throughout the state and to every town and village. “We extend our firm support and help solidarity to the cause,” AKMWP stated, adding that the time was ripe for citizens to consider declaring zero tolerance towards corruption anywhere and unfair trade practices and resolutely refuse to be exploited any further. At this juncture, AKMWP said all eyes were fixed upon the state government and asked if it would act swiftly with sincerity and commitment by fixing responsibility upon the departments and staff caught blatantly violating its directions? It also asked if the authorities would ensure cleaning up of the mess and put in measures to prevent recurrence? AKMWP also urged the government to feel the pulse of the people and take all necessary steps to effect a change in order to secure a peaceful and better future for all.

for development initiatives and welfare schemes, and it will be a ‘Jan Bhagidari’ (people’s participation) exercise. “India’s total 130 crore population should be informed about its benefits. How, the census data could be used for future planning, development initiatives and welfare schemes. The utilisation of census data is multidimensional and will be a significant contribution to the nation’s progress,” Shah said. The home minister also said the census will help in demarcating boundaries of municipal wards, assemblies and Lok Sabha constituencies. He appealed to census officials to carry out the exercise sincerely as this

MCCI urges govt to install foot testing lab DIMAPUR: Mokokchung Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) has appealed to the department of Health and Family Welfare to install a Food Testing Lab (FTL) in Mokokchung. In a press statement, MCCI president, Tsukti Longkumer said that traders and public in general were facing untold hardship, especially during unforeseen emergencies due to absence of FTL. MCCI pointed out that many food and consumable items in the market may not meet the norms set by the FSSAI as they were not regulated due to lack of a FTL in Mokokchung. It pointed out that local entrepreneurs engaged in the production of processed and packaged food items and food business operators were also compelled to market their products without proper tests for the same reason. MCCI viewed that installation of a FTL will not only serve the district of Mokokchung but also the neighbouring districts. Further, MCCI appreciated DPDB of Mokokchung for taking cognizance of the need for a FTL and hoped that it will be installed in Mokokchung at the earliest.

Over 79% turnout in Tripura Assembly by-poll
Agartala, Sep 23 (Agencies): Bye-elections at Badharghat assembly constituency in Tripura saw a voter turnout of 79.29 per cent till 5 pm, officials said. Speaking to indianexpress.com, Returning Officer Tarun Debbarma said elections were held peaceful even though EVM glitches were reported in 5 polling booths. The bypoll was necessitated due to the death of sitting MLA Dilip Sarkar on April 1 this year. While both BJP and Congress said there was no major violence, CPI(M) alleged that their polling agents were thrown out of elections centres in many areas. “Elections were held peacefully across all polling booths. There were some EVM malfunction issues in around 5 polling booths. These units were replaced immediately. As per latest reports, 79.29 per cent voters have turned out to cast their mandate. There is no report of violence”, Debbarma said. Polling started at 7 am this morning and continued till 5 pm. 58,073 voters in-

the Election Commission. “We didn’t find the existence of Election Commission in polls held in the last 18 months in Tripura. Those include the Lok Sabha polls and three-tier rural body elections. This time was different. We have found a good role of the ECI,” senior Congress leader Subal Bhowmik said.

FEGOCTA announce stirs against Mnp govt Correspondent
IMPHAL, Sep 23: Teachers of government colleges in Manipur announced a series of stirs to be launched starting from Tuesday, demanding implementation of 7th Pay and UGC Regulations 2018. The teachers decided to go ahead with the stirs after no positive response came up from the government regarding their demands even as the deadline set by the teachers under Federation of Government College Teachers’ Association (FEGOCTA) Manipur ended Monday. On September 9, the teachers under FEGOCTA had served an ultimatum to the chief minister of Manipur to address their demands on or before September 23. “No response came from the government even as the deadline served by us expired today,” said Dr N Somorendro Singh, general secretary, FEGOCTA at a news conference. He reminded that the ultimatum served to the state government on September 9 was the fourth ultimatum FEGOCTA had served to the government to address their demands. The adamant attitude of the government has compelled the teachers to stage protest which will not be in the interest of the higher education in the state. He also announced K Y M C
their planned series of protests to commence on Tuesday and in the coming days. The general secretary said that teachers will take mass casual leave for two days on Tuesday and Wednesday which will be followed by a mass sit-in-protest on September 26 in Imphal. There will be two days sit-in-protest on September 27 and 28 by the teachers in front of their respective college premises. “If government still fails to response positively to the genuine demands of the government college teachers, we will launch an indefinite cease work strike from October 3,” the general secretary announced. FEGOCTA has been pressing the state government to address their demands for implementation of 7th Pay and UGC Regulations 2018. The general secretary said that FEGOCTA had, on September 11, sent letters to the Prime Minister and Union minister of human resource development urging them to direct the state government to implement the 7th UGC Pay and Regulations 2018. He claimed that the order issued by the state government regarding implementation of 7th pay to its employees had excluded government college teachers. He said that the 7th UGC Pay has already been
implemented in other states including neighbouring state of Assam. The general secretary reiterated that teachers of the colleges were not interested in launching strike or any other forms of protest which will not be in the interest of students and higher education. As the government remained deaf in fulfilling the demands of the teachers,

Balakot camp reactivated by Pak: Army chief Rawat
CHENNAI, SEP 23 (PTI): Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Monday said Pakistan has reactivated the Balakot terror camp very recently and about 500 infiltrators were waiting to sneak into India. The response to the terror camp getting functional again may go beyond India’s previous response by way of an air strike in February, he told reporters here at the Officers Training Academy here. “Let me tell you, Balakot has been reactivated by Pakistan very recently,” he said apparently stating that the terror camp beyond the border has become operational again while answering a question on new terror camps. The chief of Army staff, obviously pointing to the hiatus in terror operations at Balakot for several months following the cross border strike, said it highlighted the Indian Air Force’s action in February. Balakot had suffered damaged and was destroyed by the cross border strike

and “that is why people have got away from there and now it has been reactivated,” he said. In March, Congress leader Sam Pitroda had asked the government to come out with “more facts” on the Balakot air strikes and it had led to a political slugfest. The chief of the Army staff earlier inaugurated the Young leaders training wing at the OTA. Asked about the response to the reactivation and if a repeat strike may be expected, he said: “Why must you expect repeat of
Shame on BJP for creating panic over NRC in WB: Mamata KOLKATA, SEP 23 (PTI): Accusing the BJP of creating panic over NRC, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday claimed it has led to six deaths in the state. Addressing a trade unions’ meet here, the TMC supremo iterated that she will not allow NRC exercise in the state. “NRC exercise will not be carried out in Bengal or anywhere else in country, it was conducted in Assam due to Assam accord,” she asserted. The Assam Accord, an agreement signed in 1985 between the then Rajiv Gandhi government and the All Assam Students’ Union, had ended a six-year mass movement against immigrants alleged to have settled illegally from Bangladesh. “Shame on the BJP for creating panic over NRC (National Register of Citizens) in Bengal, it has led to six deaths. Have faith in me, I will never allow the exercise in Bengal,” Banerjee said, without elaborating further. More than 19 lakh people in Assam have been excluded from the recently published final NRC, a proof of Indian citizenship. Criticising the saffron party for “undermining democratic values” in the
Mamata Banerjee (File)
country, the chief minister said, “Democracy exists in Bengal but it is under threat in several other parts of the country.” The BJP is not talking about job losses or the downward spiral of Indian economy, all it wants to do is serve own political interests, she alleged. “A rally will be taken out on October 18 against privatisation and shutting down of public sector units across the country. I will take part in it,” the TMC chief stated. Referring to the recent Jadavpur University fracas on September 19, she said the people of Bengal have seen what they (ABVP and BJP) did at the institute. “They try to wield power everywhere, bulldoze everything,” Banerjee maintained. The CM also lambasted the media for allegedly bowing down to the BJP-led government at the Centre.
a similar thing, earlier we did something, then we did Balakot, why must we repeat......why not keep the other side guessing as to what we will do; why tell him what we are going to do, why not keep him guessing, why say repeat, why not something beyond that.” To a question on the number of infiltrators waiting to get in, he said the numbers kept fluctuating based on the weather pattern. “These numbers keep fluctuating, but I would say yes there are at least 500 people who are waiting to infiltrate and that is the minimum number,” he said. As the ice has melted, the bid to infiltrate is towards the northern part of Jammu and Kashmir and when temperature falls such attempts were through areas less vulnerable to snowfall, he said. The Army has taken adequate measures to curb infiltration to the maximum extent by deploying more troops along the Line of Control, he said.
Man lynched on suspicion of thief, 3 arrested JAMNAGAR, SEP 23 (PTI): An unidentified man was allegedly beaten to death by a group of seven persons on suspicion of being a thief in Gujarat’s Jamnagar district, police said on Monday. The incident took place at Moti Khavdi village on Sunday following which three of the accused were arrested, an official at Medhpar police station said. The man, who was apparently mentally unstable and around 35 years of age, tried to enter the house in which the accused stayed by jumping the compound wall and breaking its window on Sunday morning, he said. He then hurled abuses at them following which the accused, suspecting that the man was a thief, thrashed him with wooden and plastic sticks, killing him on the spot, the official said. The accused worked as supervisors at a private fabrication factory nearby and lived in a rented house. When they informed their senior at the factory about the incident, he rushed to the spot and called the police. Later, the police arrested three of the accused, Prabhakar Tripathi (native of Deoria in UP), Yogesh Singh (from Sultanpur in UP) and Manoj Singh (hailing from Bihar), he said.
Would be better if PM shed aversion to Nehru: Congress NEW DELHI, SEP 23 (PTI): Congress on Monday hailed the US House Majority Leader’s invoking of Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech at the ‘Howdy Modi’ event, saying it would have been better if PM Narendra Modi would have shed his aversion to India’s first PM and joined in endorsing what American leader said. Democrat Steny Hoyer, while welcoming Modi at the event had invoked Mahatma Gandhi and India’s first PM Nehru in his speech. Asked about Hoyer’s remarks, Congress’ senior spokesperson Anand Sharma said it was heartening to see leaders in America recognise the contribution of Gandhi and Nehru, “like we respect Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela”. “Nehru (was) the frontranking leader of the Indian national movement and architect of modern India, we owe a debt of gratitude to him. It would have been better the PM would have shed his aversion to Pt. Nehru and joined in endorsing what the US Senators were saying about Nehru and Gandhi,” he told reporters.

Sonia, Manmohan meet Chidambaram at Tihar NEW DELHI, SEP 23 (PTI): Former prime minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Monday met P Chidambaram at Tihar Jail, where he has been lodged since September 5 in connection with the INX media case. The two Congress leaders were accompanied by Karti Chidambaram, the former finance minister’s son who is also a Lok Sabha MP. Chidambaram, who had asked his family to tweet on his behalf, said he was honoured that the two leaders visited him. “I am honoured that Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh called on me today. As long as the Congress party is strong and brave, I will also be strong and brave,” he tweeted. He also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “Everything is fine in India” remark, saying, “Bharat mai sab achha hai. Except for unemployment, loss of existing jobs, lower wages, mob violence, lockdown in Kashmir and throwing Opposition leaders in prison.” The prime minister at the ‘Howdy, Modi’ event in

Houston on Sunday said, “Energy of NRG (stadium) is a witness of synergy between India and the US...My answer to ‘Howdy, Modi’ is only this: Everything is Fine in India”. Karti Chidambaram expressed his gratitude to the two Congress leaders for meeting his father. “My father and I are extremely grateful to Congress president Sonia Gandhiji and former prime minister Manmohan Singhji for visiting us today. This will give us the strength and support in this political fight,” he told PTI after the meeting. The meeting lasted for the full allotted time of around half-an-hour, sourc-
es said. The party “fully” stands behind Chidambaram and will fight the case politically, the sources quoted Gandhi as having said during the meeting. Chidambaram also discussed at length with Singh the corporate tax cut and GST concessions announced by the government, according to the sources. The two held detailed discussions on these economic issues and their repercussions on the country’s economy, they said. According to the sources, it was discussed during the meeting that the revenue loss due to the tax relief would not be Rs 1.4 lakh crore, as claimed by the
government, because all corporates do not pay corporate tax at the highest rate. The visiting leaders also enquired about Chidambaram’s health and welfare, they said. Congress senior spokesperson Anand Sharma called it a “weird statement” when asked about BJP’s accusation that the Congress is “standing behind corruption”. He said the Indian laws are clear that till the time anyone is found guilty in the court, the accused is innocent. They are only accused and they have constitutional rights to speak out and get bail, Sharma said. “Those who are in jail for serious offences, their family and close friends also meet them in jail. It is surprising that even family members of BJP leaders, who were in jail, have been going to meet them. “Chidambaram is a senior Congress leader, he has been a former finance minister for a long time, a former Home minister of India, and Sonia Gandhi and the former PM went to meet him, I think no one should have objections to it,” Sharma said.
Student’s arrest stay refused; Chinmayanand shifted to hospital ALLAHABAD/LUCKNOW, SEP 23 (PTI): The Allahabad High Court on Monday refused to grant relief to the Shahjahanpur student seeking a stay on her possible arrest in an extortion case filed by BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand, who is accused of raping her. Chinmayanand, who was arrested on Friday, was shifted on Monday from a Shahjahanpur jail to a Lucknow hospital, where he was tested for cardiac problems. The special investigation team (SIT) probing the case submitted a report in a sealed cover before a twojudge bench. Expressing satisfaction with the probe so far, the bench of Justices Manoj Mishra and Manju Rani Chauhan fixed October 22 for the probe team to submit the next report. The woman was also present in the court room. The postgraduate law student had sought a stay on her arrest after the SIT booked her and arrested three men for allegedly trying to extort money from Chinmayanand. “If the victim wants any relief in this regard, she may file a fresh petition before an appropriate bench,” the high court said. “This bench was nominated to the case only for monitoring the investigation

in this matter and has no jurisdiction to pass order on stay of arrest.” The woman, who studied at a college run by Chinmayanand’s ashram, has alleged she was raped and physically exploited by the former Union minister for a over a year. She first mentioned about harassment by him in a video clip uploaded on social media last month. The Supreme Court had on September 2 taken suo motu cognizance of the case and directed the high court to monitor the investigation. The SIT was also formed by the Uttar Pradesh government on the directions of the apex court. Meanwhile, Chinmayanand has been admitted to the intensive care unit of the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute (SGPGI)
in Lucknow, where cardiologists examined him, Jail Superintendent Rakesh Kumar said. Hospital Chief Medical Superintendent Amit Agarwal said angiography was done and no significant blockage was found, adding that angioplasty was not required. The chest pain Chinmayanand suffered from was linked to his diabetes, Agarwal said. The 72-year-old will be stabilised with medicines in four or five days and his discharge will be planned in due course of time, according to the doctor.
Doctors in Shahjahanpur had earlier referred the Bharatiya Janata Party leader to Lucknow for angiography in view of his health condition, according to jail sources. Chinmayanand was arrested on Friday and sent to 14 days’ judicial custody. He has been booked under sections 354 D (stalking), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. Instead of Section 376 (rape), the 72-year-old has been booked under Section 376 C, which is usually applied in cases where a person abuses his position to “induce or seduce” a woman under his charge to have “sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape”. If proved, a rape charge can lead to punishment of up to life imprisonment, while someone convicted under Section 376C can be jailed for between five and 10 years. The woman had claimed that the police were trying to weaken the case against the ruling party politician. The high cour t on Monday found that the in-
vestigation was going on in a proper way, adding that even the student had not made any allegation in her application regarding irregularities in the investigation. The bench also did not accept a second prayer by the woman, who sought permission to record a rectified or a fresh statement under Section 164 of the Code Of Criminal Procedure as she said her earlier statement made before the magistrate was not proper. The court observed that there was no allegation against the magistrate concerned nor any provision had been shown for recording a rectified statement of the woman. According to the court, the only allegation made was that the woman’s signature was obtained only on the last page instead on each page of her statement. The bench said there was also no allegation against a woman, who was present while the student’s statement was being recorded. It added that the woman was apparently present in the chamber so that student may feel comfortable during the recording of the statement.

Modi-Trump chemistry
U
S president Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Houston Monday, organised by Indian-Americans to welcome prime minister Narendra Modi. The leaders of the world’s two largest democracies took the stage together in Houston before a roaring crowd of tens of thousands of Indian Americans, where Modi delivered an unmistakable endorsement of Trump’s presidency and cast their joint appearance in historic terms. The prime minister repurposed his own campaign slogan in India to rally support for Trump in the United States: “Abki baar, Trump sarkar,” meaning, “This time, a Trump country.” Both the leaders spared no effort to compliment each other in more than one way. The event billed as the biggest ever event for the Indian prime minister also provided an occasion for Trump to pitch his re-election campaign speech where he spoke about his administration’s vow to rid America of illegal immigrants and border security. Trump also spoke about the common concern of both India and American over radical Islamic terrorism. Trump’s anti-illegal immigration and border security could not have been more reassuring for Modi, whose government has been proactive in targeting suspected Bangladeshi Mulsim immigrants and intensive plugging of the IndoPakistan border to prevent infiltration of terrorists. The anti-immigrant and anti-terror points in Trump’s speech readily found resonance with the visiting Indian prime minister. Both leaders announced a joint front on several key issues, but articulated an entirely new script on cooperation on terrorism. In a scarcely veiled attack on Pakistan, Modi said the “whole world knows where the threads from the 9/11 terror attacks to the 26/11 Mumbai lead”. Modi responded to Trump’s speech on the issue of fighting a decisive battle against terrorism and all those promoting it by asking the 50,000 India-American crowds to give the US president a standing ovation for his commitment in fighting terrorism. Trump was clearly on election-mode to woo Indian-American votes for the US presidential election in 2020.In the 2016 election, Trump won the support of roughly 14 per cent of Indian American voters, compared to 84 per cent for Hillary Clinton, according to an analysis by the Asian American Legal Defence and Education Fund. Warming to the theme Trump assured the cheering audience that they and India will never have a friend like “Donald Trump” in the US. That this comes in the wake of survey reports that the Indian-Americans were looking more at Joe Biden for President makes it very understandable, as now the race is for funding and votes. Trump began with reference to the similarities in the constitutions of both countries on freedom and equality. However Trump is seen as being far right of the centre as Modi is. In 2015 in his second visit to India under Modi, then US president Barack Obama also quoted the constitutions of both countries that guarantee religious freedom but with emphasis against religious extremism. Both Trump and Modi preside over two of the world’s largest democracies both presently being divided by race and religion respectively. It was indeed a real strategic relationship now with Trump looking for electoral support, and Modi for endorsement of his political agenda and hence the space to carry their respective agenda at home.
DailyDevotion The Missionary’s Goal He…said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem…” —Luke 18:31 In our natural life our ambitions change as we grow, but in the Christian life the goal is given at the very beginning, and the beginning and the end are exactly the same, namely, our Lord Himself. We start with Christ and we end with Him— “…till we all come…to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ…” (Ephesians 4:13), not simply to our own idea of what the Christian life should be. The goal of the missionary is to do God’s will, not to be useful or to win the lost. A missionary is useful and he doeswin the lost, but that is not his goal. His goal is to do the will of his Lord. In our Lord’s life, Jerusalem was the place where He reached the culmination of His Father’s will upon the cross, and unless we go there with Jesus we will have no friendship or fellowship with Him. Nothing ever diverted our Lord on His way to Jerusalem. He never hurried through certain villages where He was persecuted, or lingered in others where He was blessed. Neither gratitude nor ingratitude turned our Lord even the slightest degree away from His purpose to go “up to Jerusalem.” “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master” (Matthew 10:24). In other words, the same things that happened to our Lord will happen to us on our way to our “Jerusalem.” There will be works of God exhibited through us, people will get blessed, and one or two will show gratitude while the rest will show total ingratitude, but nothing must divert us from going “up to [our] Jerusalem.” “…there they crucified Him…” (Luke 23:33). That is what happened when our Lord reached Jerusalem, and that event is the doorway to our salvation. The saints, however, do not end in crucifixion; by the Lord’s grace they end in glory. In the meantime our watchword should be summed up by each of us saying, “I too go ‘up to Jerusalem.’ ”

Everything is generated through your own will power. ~ Ray Bradbury
W
e always knew that dogs were good for our mental health. Many studies, like the one conducted by Dr Laurie Santos, professor of psychology and director of the Canine Cognition Center at Yale University, have shown how even brief interactions with dogs can significantly alleviate our mood and reduce our anxiety levels. Research shows their positive effect on their guardians’ health, such as lowering blood pressure, combating loneliness, encouraging physical activity, and promoting an overall sense of happiness. Pets, specially dogs, are increasingly viewed as family. Research among American (Blouin 2013) and Israeli (Shir-Vertesh 2012) adults, for example, shows that a growing number of pet owners describe their dog or cat as a “family member.” As dogs and cats are increasingly viewed as family members, a person’s pets may wield significant influence in human courtship and ultimate partner choice. How much does a dog’s opinion matter when a woman chooses a date, or a potential mate? While men treat their dogs as companions and friends, women tend to look upon them as their children as well. As a result, women tend to be more sensitive as to how
their partner treats their dog. A cardinal tenet of evolutionary psychology is that women tend to allocate more brownie points, subconsciously, to child-rearing. So, a man’s interaction with a dog provides a woman with clues signaling their date’s qualities as a potential parent, according to the research conducted by the University of Nevada anthropologist Peter Gray, published in Psychology Today. A man who has a dog automatically leads women to believe that he’s nurturing and responsible with people too, and that he is affectionate and compassionate, especially if he has adopted a rescued dog. A survey was given to a group of singles, who were registered on the online dating site, Match.com, to determine the role companion animals play in partner assessment and partner selection. The results of the survey showed that women are more sensitive to a potential partner’s treatment of companion animals, because they place greater concern on the well-being of their current companion animals, as well as the possible integration of a partner’s companions into their family. Additionally, women were much more likely than men to judge a date based on how that person reacted to their companion animal,
Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2019
It’s a double yes so they could decide if that person was worth dating and whether he will be kind, committed, and engaged with their own future children. Women also placed value on how their dog reacted to a potential mate, in the same way that she would put value on how her human children would react to a potential mate. The survey found that women are more satisfied in their relationships when their partners feel the same way they do about their companion animals, and when there is harmony in the household. Dogs serve more commonly as social guidelines in the dating world than cats. Companion cats tend to be less social and demanding, and less integrated into their guardians’ lives, so they show less of a potential partner’s caregiving capacity. Most of the singles in the study stated that they would approach someone they were attracted to, if that person had a dog with them, mainly because dogs are easy conversation starters.
Do men realize this? Most do. When asked “Have you ever used a pet to attract a potential date?”, a much higher percentage of men than women reported having done so. Which means that men know that these traits are desirable to prospective mates. In a study conducted by Gueguen and Ciccoti , published in Anthrozoos, a man with a dog was more likely to obtain unfamiliar woman’s phone number during a meeting in a public space, than the same man without a dog. Another study, done by Tifferet et al. in the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, showed that women evaluate men as more attractive if these men were described as dog owners. Anecdotal data also suggests that an adult’s perception of pet dogs (example, particularly whether they are allergic to them, or if they do not like to take care of animals) may also play a role in mate selection. Do dogs get an active say in your selection of mate? Do they eavesdrop on your conversations, pick up clues, form opinions? The
answer is yes. Kazuo Fujita, the lead researcher of Kyoto University in Japan, tested 18 canines. In this test, the dogs watched as their owners asked a stranger to help him open a box. In the first scenario, the stranger refused to aid the owner. In the second, the stranger came to the owner’s rescue. And in the third, the stranger remained neutral, neither helping nor refusing aid. Afterwards, the strangers approached the dogs with treats. The animals refused to take food from the strangers who had snubbed their owners. They took treats from the helpful and neutral parties. Over the process of domestication, the human-dog bond has evolved. The dog studies the guardian’s behaviour, says Oscar E. Chavez, DVM, at Cal Poly Pomona University. “They’re watching our every move to see if we give them clues as to our intentions. In this way, they can anticipate that it’s time for a walk, or see that you are getting ready to leave, or perhaps that it’s dinnertime. They’ve become the animal kingdom’s human language experts — both physical and spoken language.” Dogs make their opinions clear as to whether the male, a woman is seeing, is a good partner in the long run or not. Since they are not attracted superficially and have spent time analyzing behaviour, it might be better
to rely on their judgment rather than yours- they could save you from yourself! Here are a few signs that indicate that your dog disapproves of the man you’re seeing: * A stiff tail between the legs and ears pinned to the back. * Growling or snarling. * A polite sniff of the crotch is a stamp of approval. A crotch bite, on the other hand is not. * If your pup is licking your guy by the third date you’re ok. If that lick of approval happens on the first date, keep the man! * If your date throws a stick and the dog , who normally fetches everything, refuses to fetch the stick it’s a sign of massive disapproval. * Refusal to g reet him. * Refusal to leave you alone in his company. * Not letting your man take the lead while the two of them go for a walk together. If your dog is walking him, you know the dog has no respect for this man. But if your dog is well-behaved, and heeling, it’s ok. If he goes to the bathroom in front of your man, your dog is very comfortable and it’s a double yes. To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in, www.peopleforanimalsindia.org
Post-mortem The Emergence of Postmodern Ethos in a Church Western Sumi Hoho Operation Salvage -2
G
radually from the 1960s and 1970s, the wester n world has moved philosophically from Modernism to postmodernism. For about two centuries thinking has been shaped by the Enlightenment with its emphasis on human reason and its optimism about human ability and human achievement under postmodern conditions, the question of God is simply irrelevant to so much of what we on a daily basis that it eventually drops out of mind and heart. God is simply forgotten. Bearing in mind Jesus’ enigmatic reply to the question of whether taxes should be paid to Caesar or not, we find that after all those things that belong to postmodern society and culture have been rendered to them, there simply is not very much left to render to God, even if we still believe in Him. This arrogance has by-passed God and His revelation and led to the collapse of morality. Postmodernism is fiercely antinomian. It is admitted that people make mistake, but the word ‘sin’ is seldom mentioned and the idea that we sin against God is avoided. Right and wrong are judged according to human feelings. The idea that has an unchangeable, holy, moral law by which He will Judge every person is unpopular. In an age of postmodernism the very idea of truth is being scorned and attacked even within the Church, where people ought to revere the truth most highly, king Solomon’s wise advice has never been more timely: “Buy the truth, and do not sell it” (Prov.23:23). Postmodernism suggests that if objective truth exists, it cannot be known objectively or with any degree of certainty. God and the truth are inseparable. Every thought about the essence of truth what makes it “True”, and how we can possibly know anything for sure, quickly moves us back to God. (John 14:6) Which is also why it is not particularly surprising when someone who repudiates God rejects His truth as well. If a person can’t tolerate the thought of God, there is simply no comfortable place for the concept of truth in that person’s worldview, either. So the consistent atheist, agnostic, or idolater might as well hate the very idea of truth. After all, to reject God is to reject the giver of all truth, the final Judge of what really is
true, and the very essence and embodiment of truth itself. Who would have thought that people claiming to be Christians, even Church leaders would attack the notion of truth? No wonder: the emerging church began as a self-conscious effort to make Christianity more suitable to a postmodern culture. Emerging Christians are determined to adapt the Christian faith, the structure of the church, the language of faith, and even the gospel message itself to the ideas and rhetoric of postmodernism. Postmodern influences have come into the evangelical movement through other avenues. The idea that Christian message should be kept pliable ambiguous seems especially attractive to young people who are in tune with the culture and in love with the spirit of the age and can’t stand to have authoritative biblical truth applied with precision as a corrective to worldlylifestyles, unholy minds, and ungodly behavior. And the poison of this perspective is being increasingly injected into the evangelical church body. The church has grown lazy, worldly, and self-satisfied. Church leaders are obsessed with style and methodology, losing interest in the glory of God and becoming grossly apathetic about truth and sound Doctrine. Postmodernism says that there is no real truth. It says that knowledge is always made or invented and not discovered because knowledge is made by people, a person cannot know something with certainty-all ideas and facts are believed instead of known people believe that they know what the truth is, but they will think that the truth is something different later, this is the opposite of “objectivity” when says that the one truth is always there and people have to discover it. Postmodernism says that one person should not try to make another person believe what he believe, because it means nothings to say that one belief is right and the other is wrong. Starting with the 18th century Enlightenment and into the early 20th century, many people believed that science and new knowledge would make the world better. They believed than whatever scientists or Philosophers discovered something new, it would inevitably make society a little bit better. This
seemed obvious with of the new technology that had come about in the Industrial Revolution, allowing people to have things from cars to washing machines. Postmodernism holds that there is no real “social progress” because different people have different ideas about what social progress is. The Industrial Revolution helped many. But harmed many too. Postmodernism holds that while some things about the world change, people only want to believe that the world is better than it was. It changes but does not get better, better there is no “better”. Postmodernism says that art, music, and literature, for example, can be anything that its maker says that it is. Postmodernism art and literature commonly talks about itself and makes fun of itself. It makes fun serious art and even the very idea of art. Postmodernism has influenced many culture fields, including of literary criticism, philosophy, sociology, linguistic, architecture, visual arts, and music and Christians literatures. Postmodernism also led people e to think differently about love, marriage popular culture and the change in much of the western world from an industrial. Postmodern are remarkably nonchalant about the meaninglessness that they experience in life. Reading the works of an earlier generation of writers, existentialist authors like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, one almost develops a sense of vertigo, the kind of apprehension that one sets when standing too near the edge of a terrifying precipice, so bleak, empty, and lifethreatening was their vision. That sense, however, has now completely gone. Postmodern live on the surface, not in the depths, and theirs is a despair to be tossed off lightly and which might even be alleviated by nothing more serious than a sitcom. There are today few of the convulsions that once happened in the depths of the human spirit. These are different responses to the same sense of meaninglessness, which is one of the threads that weaves its way from the modern past into the postmodern present. What changes is simply how those afflicted with the drift and emptiness of postmodern life copes with it. (To be concluded) Vikiho Kiba, Pastor, NCRC Sumi, Doyapur Road, (vikihokiba0@gmail.com)
(From previous issue) Sad to say but now many landowners of the Western Sumi villages who have sold off all their lands have become landless labourers in their own land. It’s a sad but a dismal reality. Many once were big landlords have now been reduced to his own compound or ‘Akiphu’ (in Sumi dialect) due to continuous selling off of land. With the burgeoning population land is becoming scarce commodity but the obsession to lead extravagant lifestyles by selling off one’s land without any visionary plans for future investment have only brought poverty and misery to many families. There are many who sell their lands off to give education to their children, to avail medical treatments and to invest in other business also. With the absence of any viable industry or modern mechanised farming as a source of livelihood the enticement of the money pit seems to have become an abyss of ours. Perhaps, it is high time we as a community should come out from our deceptive selves as we will be the only losers from this practice. No community is going to ever sell back the land which we Sumis have sold away. The future depends on our understanding who we are, how the past has made us so and where we are leading. A detailed and a holistic approach by our churches, civil society and the people can drag us out of the quagmire we all are in. The Chief Guest culture or the ‘Chief Cash’ Culture to put it in a more appropriate way practiced mostly by our people especially by our Western Sumis should be immediately done away with especially by the student organizations. Other tribes are already discarding this practice and some have even announced it publicly. May we also be able to follow such good examples .Many a time people with dubious distinctions and questionable morality are invited as chief guests to speak on ethics and integrity when their very own principle or integrity is more doubtful. Money should not always the sole objective for every programme that is organised. The habit of spending lavishly on extravagant weddings is something to be pondered seriously. For the haves
money is never an issue and being their money none can argue. But most lower middle classes and lower classes in trying to apt the richer ones ends up in huge debts after marriage. The trend of killing pigs and distributing meat to everyone you know by name to maintain the so called prestige in the clan or community needs to be prohibited. This was never our tradition except in the case of ‘Aza juna’ where sharing of the meat for only those close kith and kin from the maternal side was a tradition since the days of our forefathers . This is where the church can step in as in the case of christening new-borns where a feast is not allowed anymore but done collectively in groups during church services. Ours will be a better community and a better place to live if only more responsible mass engages in the building of the common well being; only then it will be a progressive and a transformed society. Our Sumi people and leaders must be instilled with conviction and commitment to go deeper and walk the extra mile not only in our thoughts or words but in deed so we can help drive home successful and meaningful outcomes with positive results for the whole tribe which this tour is meant for. We have been blinded by cheap glitters, dubious distinctions, temporary victories, misplaced passions and false hopes when we have so many other serious matters and alarming issues to be worried about. Hence, this Operation Salvage. Restoring our broken and dispirited selves from the very crux of these issues is the need of the moment. Welcoming some positive changes and heralding a new chapter will bode well for the entire Sumi community. There is a light at the end of every tunnel and we sure do need someone to take us out from this tunnel which has enslaved us all. The challenges we face today requires a concerted, coordinated and a combined efforts from all sections which of course requires us to remember what we were, what we are and who we will be. Let God guide us. (Concluded) Jonah Achumi
Reader’s Post Sir,
Good going PAC
Public Action Committee (PAC) certainly took a great task for unearthing the various gate collections, which has been going on for sometime and affecting public consumers. Whatever may be the reasons of collections and whichever department may be involved, the main thing is that the truth must be made known to public so misgivings if any are cleared. One can only laud PAC under Naga Council Dimapur for sincerely manning the check gates over the last couple of days. There will be criticisms from many quarters but it would behove well for PAC to continue such initiatives even in future. Loshithung Lotha, Duncan Basti Dimapur

Chidambaram denies CBI claim of Cong slams Modi’s campaign for Trump having used office for personal gain Says will affect India’s bipartisan relations with US
cratic party leader. “I recall L K Advani praising Nehru in a speech in New York some years ago. Vajpayee’s tribute to Nehru is a masterpiece. Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din...,” Ramesh said in a tweet. “I’m glad that PM Modi was reminded of the contributions of Nehru by the House Majority Leader in Houston,” he said. Asked about Hoyer’s remarks, Sharma said it was heartening to see that leaders in America recognise the contribution of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, “like we respect Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela”. “Jawaharlal Nehr u (was) the front-ranking leader of the Indian national movement and architect of modern India, we owe a debt of gratitude to him. It would have been better that the Prime Minister would have shed his aversion to Pandit Nehru and joined in endorsing what the US Senators were saying about Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi,” he told reporters. Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi also took a swipe at Modi over Hoyer’s remarks, saying, “It was absolutely unexpected for Modi ji”. “While the achievements of Nehru and Gandhi ji were being mentioned, his (Modi’s) expressions were worth seeing,” he said.
NEW DELHI, SEP 23 (PTI): Veteran Congress leader P Chidambaram, arrested in the INX Media corruption case, denied in the Delhi High Court on Monday that he used the office of finance minister for personal gain. In a rejoinder to CBI’s reply on his bail plea, he said that a look out circular (LOC) has already been issued against him and it is preposterous to allege that he is a flight risk and can evade the process of law. Denying CBI charges of the present case being a clear betrayal of public trust at large, the former finance minister said that the Rs 305 crore which came to INX media as foreign direct investment was well within the approval percentage of 46.216 per cent. He also denied in his reply the probe agency’s claim that cogent evidence incriminating him in the offence was on record and a strong case has been made out against him. Chidambaram also denied the charge that he used the office of the finance minister for personal gains in connivance with his coconspirators and claimed there was no loss to the public exchequer in this case. “No public funds were involved in this case and it is not a case of bank fraud or taking money out of the country or defrauding depositors in stealing money,” he said in the reply.

On President Trump attending the ‘Howdy, Modi’ event in Houston, he said, the Congress has no objections to it. “But, we hope the Prime Minister would get President Trump to agree to restore all the cuts on H1B Visas, reduce the fees and again restore the GSP so that Indian exports can get access to the US markets,” he said. Earlier, in a series of tweets, Sharma said Modi was in the US as India’s prime minister, and not a star campaigner in the US elections. “Mr Prime Minister, you have violated the time honoured principle of Indian foreign policy of not interfering in the domestic elections of another country. This is a singular disservice to the long-term strategic interests of India,” Sharma said on Twitter after the event in Texas on Sunday night where Modi and Trump shared the stage.

high courts respectively. Justices Ramasubramanian and Roy headed the Himachal Pradesh and Kerala high courts respectively. With a huge backlog of cases in the top court, the Centre had last Wednesday cleared the names of the four high court chief justices who were recommended by the apex court Collegium on August 30 for elevation. The sanctioned strength of Supreme Court judges was increased days after the Chief Justice wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to increase the number of judges in the top court. According to a written
reply by the Law Ministry to a Rajya Sabha question on July 11 this year, 59,331 cases are pending in the top court. Due to paucity of judges, the required number of Constitution benches to decide important cases involving questions of law were not being formed, the CJI had said. The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Act, 1956 originally provided for a maximum of ten judges (excluding the CJI). This number was increased to 13 by the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Act, 1960, and to 17 in 1977.

during the investigation, leading to seizure of some pistols, a rifle and some kinds of ammunition. The IGP said, “I would like to send a message that anyone harbouring, sympathizing, transporting or helping terrorists in any form will be dealt with very strictly under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.” The hilly district, which was declared terrorism-free over a decade ago, has witnessed a number of terror strikes and weapon snatching incidents over the past 10 months. Terrorists shot dead BJP leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar in Kishtwar town on November 1, 2018. In another strike, the terrorists snatched the service rifle of the deputy commissioner’s Personal Security Officer (PSO) Daleep Kumar on March 8. They struck again at district hospital on April 9, killing RSS functionary Chanderkant Sharma and his PSO before fleeing the scene with the service rifle of the security personnel.
NEW DELHI, SEP 23 (PTI): Indian security forces have been given full freedom to effectively deal with any infiltration bid along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir following inputs that around 450-500 well-trained terrorists are waiting at terror launch pads to sneak into the Valley as part of Pakistan’s design to trigger unrest, military sources said on Monday. Some of the terrorists waiting to infiltrate into India were trained at the Jaish-e-Mohammad camp in Balakot which was bombed by Indian Air Force in February, the sources said. The sources said a large group of terrorists are waiting at the terror launch-pads in Lipa valley on the Pakistani side. According to intelligence inputs, Pakistan-based terror groups are likely to target vital installations in several key cities. “Around 450-500 terrorists are waiting at the terror launch pads along the LoC in PoK,” said a source.
Chidambaram said no credibility can be attached to Indrani Muerjea, who has turned an approver in the corruption case, since she and her husband were also being investigated by the CBI in a murder case. Justice Suresh Kait is scheduled to hear Chidambaram’s bail plea later in the day. CBI in its reply on Friday opposed Chidambaram’s bail plea in the corruption case, saying it is a “gravest case of economic offences” and the magnitude of financial embezzlement and misuse of high public office disentitles him for any relief. In its written response to Chidambaram’s bail plea, the CBI had said the gravity of offences committed by the former finance minister for which he is being investigated does not entitle him to seek any relief as it would not only be against the ‘zero tolerance policy on corruption’ but would also be setting a very wrong
precedence in all corruption cases. It said the investigation revealed that Chidambaram, as the finance minister, had demanded illegal gratification and the payments were made in India and overseas to him and his accused son Karti. The agency had said despite his arrest, Chidambaram continued to remain evasive while replying the questions put to him during interrogation or confrontation. Chidambaram, who was arrested on August 21 by the CBI from his Jor Bagh residence here, is currently lodged in Tihar Jail under judicial custody till October 3. The CBI had registered an FIR on May 15, 2017, alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram’s tenure as the finance minister.

JAMMU, SEP 23 (PTI): Four terror cases, including the killings of a BJP leader and an RSS functionary in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, were solved with the arrest of three militants affiliated to the Hizbul Mujahideen, police said on Monday.

“Our relationship with the United States of America have throughout been bipartisan, vis-à-vis Republicans and Democrats. Your actively campaigning for Trump is a breach of both India and America as sovereign nations and democracies,” he added. Sharma’s party colleague P Chidambaram, who is in Tihar jail on charges of alleged corruption, also took a dig at the prime minister over his “Everything is fine in India” remark in Houston. “Bharat mai sab achha hai. Except for unemployment, loss of existing jobs, lower wages, mob violence, lockdown in Kashmir and throwing Opposition leaders in prison,” Chidambaram tweeted through his family. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also hailed US House majority leader invoking Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech at the ‘Howdy Modi’ event, saying it would have been better if Prime Minister Modi would have shed his aversion to India’s first PM and joined in endorsing what the American leaders said.

Prime Minister should have honoured that,” Sharma told reporters. “It should not be seen that India is taking positions or sides and Prime minister using that platform to exhort and raise that slogan on ‘Ab ki baar Trump sarkar’ was better avoided,” the Congress leader said. Sharma said India has engaged with both Republican administration and Democratic administration and it was a Republican administration under President George W Bush “when we successfully negotiated the Indo-US Nuclear deal during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s tenure”. He said when the US elections came, the Indian leadership under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did not take a partisan position to support or endorse the Republicans and when Barack Obama took over as the US President, “we carried on with the US engagement with the Democratic administration, as effectively as we had done with the previous Republican administration”. “As far as India’s strategic interests are concerned, we have to engage with all the parties concerned. We wish the prime minister for his visit. We hope that President Trump would appreciate the Indian diaspora greeting him when the prime minister was there,” he said.

NEW DELHI, SEP 23 (PTI): The Congress on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of violating Indian foreign policy’s “time honoured principle” of not interfering in the domestic elections of another country by “actively campaigning” for US President Donald Trump at the ‘Howdy, Modi’ event in Houston. The opposition party said by taking a “partisan” position, the prime minister has done a “disservice” to long-term strategic IndoUS relations. It also took a swipe at Modi saying it would have been better if he would have “shed his aversion” to Jawaharlal Nehru and joined in endorsing what the US Senators were saying about the country’s first prime minister. Congress senior spokesperson Anand Sharma said it should not be seen that India is taking sides and the Prime Minister using the Houston platform to exhort and raise the slogan of ‘Ab ki baar Trump sarkar’ was better avoided. “We have a strategic partnership between India and the United States of America which is bipartisan, which we fully endorse. “But, there is a timehonoured convention of India’s foreign policy that when we engage with the foreign governments or the President or Prime Minister when on foreign soil, we do not take part in the

New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS): The government has no plans to revise the fiscal deficit or cut any expenditure following the corporate tax cuts, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Sunday. The government cut corporate tax rates on Friday in a move designed to woo manufacturers, revive private investment and consumption and lift growth from a sixyear low. With the corporate tax cuts cost Rs 1.45 lakh crore to the exchequer, Sitharaman said that the government is not planning to cut its expenditure to meet the shortfall. The Minister had earlier said infrastructure ministries has been asked to front load expenditure to revive capital expenditure to boost growth. The Expenditure Secretary is meeting secretaries of line ministries to fast-track their allocated spending to boost the economy, she added.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reduced the corporate tax on companies with a turnover of up to Rs 400 crore to 25 per cent in the Budget presented on July 5. This brought down the effective tax rate on over 99 per cent of companies to 27.8 per cent (corpoarte tax inclusive of surcharge and education cess). For the rest less than 1 per cent, the effective rate remained at 34.94 (on 30 per cent corporate tax rate). This category of large turnover companies, such as Reliance Industries, Tatas, Aditya Birla Group, are the biggest beneficiary of Sitharaman’s latest tax breaks. “Tax benefits will also

New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS): Around 1,000 companies would save nearly Rs 37,000 crore due to recent corporate tax rate cut, according to a Crisil report. A study of nearly 1,000 companies, spread across 80 sectors, which cover over 70 per cent of the National Stock Exchange’s market capitalisation indicates that effective tax rates had risen over the past five years. These companies, including oil & gas and financial services, account for nearly one third of the tax paid by India Inc. “Our analysis indicates these companies could see tax savings of Rs 37,000 crore, or nearly a fourth of the total savings anticipated by the government,” the report by Crisil Research said. Segments linked to consumer would benefit the most given higher effective tax rates of over 30 per cent, it said and added,

For instance, with the consumption space assessment of automobile manufacturers that account for 50 per cent of volumes sold indicates that tax cuts may have limited benefits because of already lower effective tax rates. But auto component manufacturers, which bear higher effective tax rates, may see maximum gains,” as per the analysis of 70 firms that account for 20 per cent of the market. The Finance Minister on Friday announced Rs 1.45 lakh crore fiscal stimulus that includes slashing corporate tax to 22 per cent from 30 per cent, cutting down the minimum alternate tax (MAT) and lowering tax to 15 per cent for companies putting fresh capital into manufacturing. The reduced corporate tax rate of 22 per cent would apply on domestic entities that don’t avail any exemptions and incentives. Also, these companies will not be required to pay any MAT. Effective tax rate in this case would be 25.17 per cent, including cess and surcharge. Tax experts said reduction in the corporate tax would benefit large companies, like Reliance, Tata, Vedanta and Adani, more than medium-sized firms.

revealed that Jackson had topped the list of the highest paid dead celebrities for the sixth year in the row. The late King of Pop’s estate reportedly raked in £313 million in 2017, which was largely boosted by the sale of his lucrative stake in EMI Music Publishing. Over the weekend, it was confirmed that the lawsuit brought against HBO by Michael Jackson‘s estate must be moved to arbitration, after the network aired controversial documentary Leaving Neverland earlier in the year. The Dan Reed-directed documentary, which divided viewers upon its UK airing earlier this year, focuses on testimony by Wade Robson, 36, and James Safechuck, 41, who both claim that Jackson sexually abused them when they were children. In the wake of the film being shown, Jackson’s songs were subsequently banned on numerous radio stations around the world. (NME)

M a d r i d, S e p 2 3 (Agencies): A towering header from Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid an impressive 1-0 win at Sevilla to go level on points at the top of La Liga on Sunday, offering the perfect response to their recent humiliating Champions League defeat at Paris Saint-Germain. Benzema gave the visitors the lead against former Real coach Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla midway through the second half in a tense game, timing his jump to perfection to meet a cross from Dani Carvajal on the byline and send the ball high into the net. Sevilla’s former Madrid striker Javier Hernandez put the ball in the net for the hosts late in the game but his effort was correctly ruled out for offside and Real hung on to claim their first win at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium in five seasons. The victory saw Madrid climb into second place on 11 points after five games, level with leaders Athletic Bilbao, while Sevilla tumbled from top spot at the start of the weekend to fifth on 10 points. “Real Madrid never loses its hunger or its desire to win,” captain Sergio Ramos told reporters. “We knew how difficult this game would be, we

Rashford injury adds to Man Utd woes L o nd o n, S e p 2 3 (Agencies): Marcus Rashford has added to Manchester United’s injury problems after being forced off with a groin injury in the 2-0 defeat at West Ham United. T h e 2 1 - ye a r - o l d went down after an hour as Andriy Yarmolenko’s first-half strike and Aaron Cresswell’s late free-kick sunk a lacklustre United. Rashford was immediately replaced by winger Jesse Lingard, with strikers Anthony Martial (thigh) and Mason Greenwood (tonsillitis) already sidelined - leaving manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with limited attacking options.
Marcus Rashford
After the game the Manchester United boss said he was unsure how serious Rashford’s injury was but downplayed the lack of attacking options currently at his disposal. “I don’t know how bad it is, I’m not a doctor. He’ll
have a scan tomorrow and I’ll get back to you when I know more,� said Solskjaer. “Hopefully we’ll get Mason (Greenwood) and Anthony (Martial) back soon, it’s just unfortunate that it happened today when we didn’t have the other two unavailable.�
Greed can’t be cured: Gavaskar on match-fixing
New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS): With the menace of match-fixing once again making its way into India cricket, legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has underlined the slippery ground the game was treading on, saying there is no cure for greed. The Tamil Nadu Premier League and the Karnataka Premier League have been in the news for all the wrong reasons as are embroiled in fixing and betting controversies. “Greed is a thing which no amount of education, guidance, seminars with anti-corruption guys is going to help. Greed is something that is human. The best of societies, the most developed of societies still have criminals. In cricket also you will always have the odd person who will be swayed by greed. (It) could be some other reason that might force him to do something. That’s something I don’t think you can totally control,� Gavaskar was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. He, however, pointed out that the advancement in technology has made sure the cheats have nowhere to hide. “I would imagine sometimes the circumstances make a player think ‘I can get away with it’. But you can’t get away. Because it is so covered by television, every little aspect... you will be exposed as having done something wrong.� De-
spite cricket leagues being more prone to corruption, the former Indian skipper believes these tournaments should always find the support of the people as they bolster Indian cricket. “Look at the talent that it has provided from the districts. For example, the Karnataka Premier League, the number of people who have come from the interiors which otherwise even the best of Kar nataka scouts couldn’t have been able to see.� ‘Same with TNPL and all the other leagues that are happening (in India). I think these leagues are very, very good. It is giving more talent to India cricket, talent which would have otherwise gone untapped,� he added.
