T he National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into terror funding in Jammu & Kashmir has put the pressure on foreign agencies that are sponsoring terror in the Valley, National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said at a con- ference of top police officers on Monday. Stressing on a compre- hensive approach to counter terrorism, Doval called for meticulous investigation to curb terror financing. He quot- ed the examples of NIA crack- down on terror funding in Jammu & Kashmir and action by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to choke such funds. “NIA has been able to make tremendous contribution in its terror funding probe in J&K. This action put the pres- sure at the right place in for- eign agencies which were run- ning this,” he said. “One of the biggest pres- sures that are coming on Pakistan today is because of the procedure of the FATF, I guess. The FATF has put so much of pressure on them that no other action could have been so,” he said. Pakistan is under a lot of pressure at the FATF meeting, currently underway in Paris, to rein in terror groups operating from its soil, he said in his address at the meeting of the chiefs of the Anti-Terrorism Squads. The FATF is an inter-gov- ernmental body established in 1989 to combat money laun- dering, terror financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. Pakistan was placed on the grey list by the Paris-based watchdog in June 2018 and was given a plan of action to com- plete it by October 2019, or face the risk of being placed on the black list with Iran and North Korea. At the ongoing plenary of the FATF, chances are high that Pakistan will be retained on the ‘grey list’ as it has complied with just one of the 40 recom- mendations set by the global anti-money laundering watch- dog at the time of its inclusion in the list. If Pakistan contin- ues with the ‘grey list’, it would be very difficult for the coun- try to get financial aid from the IMF, the World Bank and the European Union, making its financial condition more pre- carious. If the investigating agen- cies could collect correct, sus- tainable and quotable infor- mation, which could be put before the international forums effectively that how Pakistan is supporting and financing ter- rorism, it would expose the country, the NSA stressed. On Pakistan’s terror spon- sorship, the NSA said terror- ism is a low-cost sustainable option which may damage the perceived enemies to a great extent. “A state is supporting a criminal and some states have mastered in this act. Pakistan has made terrorism as an instrument of State policy. That has made it a very great challenge (for Indian security agencies),” he said. Doval said war has become increasingly a cost ineffective instrument in achieving polit- ical and strategic objectives and nobody can afford it these days because of the cost involved with it. “Not only is it a matter of money but in terms of lives that would be lost. But more important thing is you are not sure of victory. In spite of the superiority in terms of resources and tech- nology, the Americans could not achieve their objectives in Vietnam and the Soviets in Afghanistan. “So increasingly, the reliance on war is on the instrument of covert actions. And in the instrument of covert actions, terrorism is one of the manifestations of covert actions that adversari- al powers are using it. It is a low cost sustainable option and it bleeds the enemy much more than probably in the war, and that it can be done for a long period,” the NSA said. As the world has become more complex and as strategic and geopolitical relations become complex, a war is no longer an option and that is why the terrorism has increas- ingly been used, he said. Doval also underscored that terrorism in India and many other parts of the world is state-sponsored. “When I say it is state sponsored terrorism, they not only provide training to the recruits, they provide weapons, they provide ideology, they fix targets. More than that, they also give a higher degree of denia- bility and the resources and technology which the investi- gating agencies have not been able to get them and their ten- tacles." he added. I ndian-American innovative MIT economist Abhijit Banerjee, his wife Esther Duflo and Harvard professor Michael Kremer jointly won the 2019 Nobel Economics Prize on Monday “for their experimen- tal approach to alleviating glob- al poverty”. Banerjee and French- American Duflo both work at the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) while Kremer is at Harvard University. President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress pres- ident Sonia Gandhi and a host of other leaders congratulated Banerjee on winning the cov- eted prize. “Their research has helped economists better understand how to fight poverty in India and the world,” Kovind said. Prime Minister Modi said, “Congratulations to Abhijit Banerjee on being conferred the 2019 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.” Congratulating Banerjee, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said he had helped the party conceptualise its “Nyay” scheme to help remonetise the economy. Banerjee was educated at the University of Calcutta, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Harvard University, where he received his PhD in 1988. He is the Ford Foundation International Professor of Economics at the MIT. In 2003, Banerjee founded the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), along with Duflo and Sendhil Mullainathan, and he remains one of its directors. In Kolkata, his mother Nirmala Banerjee said it was a proud moment for her. Continued on Page 4 B CCI president-elect Sourav Ganguly on Monday said ‘conflict of interest’ is one of the biggest issues facing Indian cricket since the contentious clause is discouraging the best of the cricketers from getting into the game’s administration. Ganguly himself faced the heat after allegations of conflict of interest were levelled against him for his dual role as the president of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and mentor of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals. While he has left Delhi Capitals mentorship already, he will relinquish his post as CAB president on October 23 after officially taking charge as BCCI chief. “Conflict of interest is an issue. And I am not sure whether we will get the services of the best cricketers in the sys- tem, because they will have other options to avail,” Ganguly told reporters after filing his nomination with veteran offi- cials like N Srinivasan, Rajeev Shukla and Niranjan Shah by his side. Ganguly made it clear that the present rule of ‘one person one post’ will prevent most of the former greats to get into cricket administration as they also need to earn their livelihood. Continued on Page 4 H aryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s use of an improvised timeworn cliché against Congress presi- dent Sonia Gandhi has out- raged India’s oldest party. In his poll rally at Kharkhoda near Sonipat on Sunday, Khattar took a dig at the Congress saying all they managed was picking someone from the Gandhi family again (after Rahul Gandhi resigned as party president). “Khoda pahad, niklee chuhiya,” he said, using a pop- ular Hindi proverb that sug- gests big effort but little gain. Literally, it means finding a mouse after digging a moun- tain. In itself the proverb was not at all offensive, but Khattar went on to add, “That too a dead one,” and this created a furore. The Chief Minister had targeted both the Congress and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) at the meeting. “You know the kind of ‘tamasha’ these family-based parties are doing. Now, within the family too, fights are taking place. On one side there is `Pappu’, and on the other ‘Mummy’,” he said. Reacting to the mouse remarks of Khattar, Congress demanded an immediate apol- ogy. “The Chief Minister’s remarks are inappropriate, he stooped to the lowest level and it also shows the anti-women character of the BJP,” the Congress tweeted. On Monday, Mahila Congress chief Sushmita Dev and Haryana Congress presi- dent Kumari Selja slammed Khattar. Sushmita Dev said Khattar’s remarks are a clear reflection of his and the BJP’’s disrespectful attitude towards women. “We in the Congress are committed to upholding the dignity in public life. But as a woman, I take offence to the disgraceful remark made and demand an unconditional apol- ogy,” she said. Dev accused him of lowering public dis- course in an attempt to divert attention from real issues like joblessness and acute econom- ic slowdown. Selja asked the Chief Minister to reflect. “In what light remarks such as these por- tray women of Haryana and elsewhere. It is because of the mindset of people like you that Haryana has come to be known as the crime capital, which tops the country in crime. Crimes against women are on the rise,” she said. At another poll rally week ago, Khattar had accused the Congress of sympathising with terrorists and said Sonia Gandhi “sheds tears for militants”. Continued on Page 4 T he Uttar Pradesh Government on Monday suspended the Maharajganj District Magistrate and five other officials for fudging fig- ures and “negligence” at a State-run cattle shelter. Announcing the suspen- sion — a rare move against an IAS officer — at a hurriedly called press conference, Chief Secretary RK Tiwari said there were “continuous complaints of negligence” in the upkeep of stray cows in Madhvaliya cow shelter in Nichlaul tehsil of Maharajganj district. “The Government consti- tuted a committee under the chairmanship of Additional Commissioner, Gorakhpur Division. The committee found several anomalies in the num- ber of cattle during probe,” the UP Chief Secretary said.

According to the records, only around 500 families who were registered outside the State and later returned and settled down in J&K, are reg- istered with the office of Provincial Rehabilitation Officer (PRO), Jammu. In the absence of any offi- cial communication, even the senior officers are not in a posi- tion to clarify the status of actu- al beneficiaries of the package. “The State Government had recommended the reha- bilitation package for 26,319 displaced families.

One such ploy has been to get the bungalow or flat booked in the name of guests on one or the other pretext. The guest then either overstays the peri- od permitted or the MP keeps the premises under control even after the guest leaves. “Nearly 45 members of Parliament (MPs) have been found to have squatters in the garb of guests. A list of such MPs has been prepared,” said sources. The list includes past and present MPs of all major political parties. Majority of the Government bungalows where the former MPs and their guests are staying are located in the posh locality of Lutyens’ Delhi. As per norms, accom- modation for guests of MPs is provided in VP House and Western Court hostel for a short duration. The accom- modation can be allotted in North and South Avenues and Meena Bagh under very excep- tional circumstances. There have been other glar- ing cases of “squatter” being former MPs. Take the case of former MP Shahnawaz Hussain, who has been unau- thorisedly staying at the Pant Marg bungalow since 2014. The said bungalow was allotted when he was Minister in the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government and he has some- how managed to retain it till date. Interestingly, Shahnawaz had lost the Lok Sabha polls in 2014 and was denied poll tick- et in 2019.

PNS New Delhi: The Centre is like- ly to allow veteran BJP leaders and former MPs LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Jaswant Singh to stay in their official bungalows on security grounds. Singh may be allowed to retain on health grounds. PNS T ragedy struck Mau when a massive explosion in an LPG cylinder in Mohamadabad locality of Walidpur left 13 people dead and over a dozen others criti- cally injured. The impact of the blast early Monday morning was so intense that a two-storey house occupied by three families col- lapsed while two adjoining buildings suffered extensive damages. Local police along with senior officers rushed to the spot after receiving the infor- mation and summoned the team of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to rescue those trapped under the rubble. The blast took place at the house of Chhotu Vishwakarma, who had died around ten years ago. His widow and five daugh- ters were staying in the house, the police said. Chhotu’s three daughters — Mona (20), Mamata (18) and Sanjana (15) — died in the blast while the remaining fam- ily members are missing, the local police claimed. The police registered a case and the sleuths of Anti- Terrorists Squad (ATS) were asked to inspect the site to find out whether an LPG cylinder had exploded or some terror activity was underway which resulted in the blast. Chief Minister Yo g i Adityanath expressed his deep- est condolences to the families of the deceased and directed that district magistrate and district police chief and other officers to provide all possible relief and medical help to the injured. According to reports, while seven people died on the spot, six succumbed to their injuries in the hospital during treat- ment. Of the injured, the con- dition of seven was stated to be critical. Among the deceased, five are male, three women, three girls and two children. Director General of Police OP Singh said that the incident occurred in Vichlapura area in Walidpur village at around 7:30 am when a two-storey building collapsed due to the impact of the blast in LPG cylinder. He said the priority of the authorities was to rescue the trapped people and SDRF had been rushed to the spot. Prima facie, the blast was triggered by a possible leakage in the cooking gas cylinder, Inspector General (Law and Order) Praveen Kumar said in Lucknow. District Magistrate Gyanprakash Tripathi said that the incident occurred when the family members were cooking breakfast for the family. Continued on Page 4

The National InvestigationAgency (NIA) probe into

Even as UP PowerCorporation Limited

(UPPCL) has raised the powertariff for all categories of con-sumers by over 27 per cent inlast 22 months sinceNovember 2017; it has default-ed in payment of over �1,000crore to private sugar mills forthe electricity purchased by itfrom them. The default by theUPPCL has added to the woesof the sugarcane farmers as thesugar mills are unable to cleartheir cane arrears

The sugar industry hassought the intervention ofChief Minister YogiAdityanath for an early settle-ment of power dues on thestate power utility. The arrearsof the sugar industry on canefarmers are �4,500 crore.

Apart from producingsugar, some private mills alsocogenerate electricity, both fortheir captive use, and sell it toUPPCL at fixed tariffs duringthe crushing season. However,power arrears of the mills tothe tune of �1,000 crore arestill pending on UPPCL evenas the combined cane farmers’arrears pertaining to 2018-19crushing season on millersstand firm at more than �4,500 crore.

Despite the two bailoutpackages the accumulatedlosses of the UPPCL on March31, this year was close to�90,000 crore. The Congressled UPA government hadannounced ‘FinancialRestructuring Package’ underwhich the state governmenthad taken over the debt liabil-ity of the power utility of

�40,000 crore, thus enablingthe UPPCL to contract freshloans. The NDA governmentin 2017 announced the samepackage under different nameUjjawala discom assuranceyojna (UDAY) under whichthe UP government took overthe debt liability of �39,000crore.

“We are following up onour power outstanding withthe state authorities, yet thepayments have not yet mate-rialised. This money would beused to pay farmers and willreduce our liabilities to thatextent,” a sugar industry offi-cial said on condition ofanonymity. Recently, the ChiefMinister had also referred tothe pending power dues andsaid it would be settled at theearliest for the benefit of sug-arcane farmers.

Meanwhile, the state gov-ernment has filed first infor-mation report (FIR) againsttwo sugar mills owned bySimbhaoli and Modi groupsfor defaulting on cane pay-ments. The action was takenunder Section 3/7 of EssentialCommodities Act, 1955,according to UP CaneCommissioner SanjayBhoosreddy. He said actionwas also being taken againstother mills for their sluggishpayment to farmers and thesituation was being reviewedon a daily basis as the 2019-20crushing season was hardly 2-3 weeks away.

So far, 53 of the total 119sugar mills in UP have settledtheir full cane liabilities, while33 other mills have notched upover 80 per cent payment. Oftotal payables of �33,048 crore

for 2018-19 season, arrearscurrently top �4,519 crore. Ofthese, private mills account forthe bulk of nearly �4,200 crore,followed by government con-trolled cooperative mills andan UP State Sugar CorporationLimited (UPSSCL) mill.

Recently, UP SugarcaneDevelopment and SugarIndustries Minister SureshRana had asserted that thegovernment was targeting100% settlement of arrears bythe end of October.

In 2018-19 seasons, 119state mills, including 94 pri-vate, 24 cooperative and aUPSSCL unit, had participat-ed in the crushing operations.The state sugar output stood atabout 11.8 million tonnes(MT) compared to over 12 MTin 2017-18. This year, the stateexpects 121 mills to crush.

said so far he had not receivedany order or official intimationwhether Government has

On the otherhand, Rajiv Chunni, Chairman,SOS International, an organi-sation advocating the cause ofPoK displaced persons (DP),told The Pioneer that theUnion Government must clar-ify who is going to be the realbeneficiary of theRehabilitation packageapproved by the union cabineton October 9 as confusion isprevailing among the membersof the displaced families.Chunni pointed out that theUnion Cabinet gave itsapproval to include 5,300 dis-placed families in the rehabil-itation package, but in the sub-sequent press briefing and writ-ten statement circulated by theGovernment, a specific riderwas added that out of 5,300families only those whoreturned and settled down inthe State of Jammu & Kashmirwould be entitled for the reha-bilitation package. He said, heis receiving large number ofcalls from refugees settled out-side the State to know the fac-tual status. “Majority of thesedisplaced families continue tolive in Delhi, Punjab, UttarPradesh, Uttarakhand,Maharashtra etc and should beextended the benefit of therehabilitation package,” he said.

67� �% ����!!!Another case is of then BJP

MP OP Yadav who was allot-ted the Pant Marg bungalow in2014. Yadav, himself was stay-ing in MPs flat at SouthAvenue. Yadav was also deniedticket by the BJP in 2019.

Former MP KameshwarSingh was occupying a flat atSouth Avenue which is allottedto BJP MP Ran Vijay SinghJudev. Last week, the EstateDepartment forcefully vacatedSingh, who had contested LokSabha polls in 1967 only once.

Officials said most of therequests for guest accommoda-tions come during Parliamentsession. Normally as per

norms MPs are allotted accom-modation for their guests onpayment of rent in advance fortreatment or any other specif-ic purpose where mess is com-pulsory and other facilities arealso available. This can beextended in specific cases.

As many as 40 former MPshave not vacated theirGovernment accommodationsso far. According to the rules,former MPs are supposed tovacate the Government resi-dences within one month of thedissolution of the previous LokSabha. The amended PublicPremises (Eviction ofUnauthorised Occupants) Actlaw empowers the Governmentto issue show cause notice,seeking reply of unauthorisedoccupants within three days,the duration reduced from 15days, as mandated under theprevious law. Three MPs havebeen evicted forcefully lastweek and notices have beensent to three others for force-fully eviction. On August 19,the Lok Sabha HousingCommittee headed by C RPatil had ordered around 200ex-MPs, who did not vacatetheir bungalows, to give up thefacility within a week and dis-connected their power, waterand cooking gas connectionswithin three days. TheGovernment provides residen-tial accommodation to itsemployees including theMembers of Parliament andother dignitaries on a licensebasis while they are in serviceor till the term of their office.However, it is often seen thatthe unauthorised occupantsdo not vacate the Governmentaccommodation on expiry ofthe terms and conditions of thelicense as per the rules and usesdilatory tactics to withholdthe accommodation.

Attimes we used to discuss vari-

ous topics and issues on eco-nomics. He has also spoken oneconomic issues our country isfacing presently,” she said.

It was “wonderful” toreceive the award, 58-year-oldBanerjee said. “You don’t getthis lucky many times in yourlife,” he added. Duflo, the 46-year-old former adviser to ex-US President Barack Obama, isthe second woman and theyoungest ever to win the eco-nomics prize. “We are incred-ibly happy and humbled,”Duflo was quoted as saying bythe MIT News. “We feel veryfortunate to see this kind ofwork being recognised.”

The prize includes 9 mil-lion-kronor (USD 918,000)cash, a gold medal and a diplo-ma. The winners will equallyshare the prize money.

Announcing the award,the Royal Swedish Academy ofSciences said the “researchconducted by this year’sLaureates has considerablyimproved our ability to fightglobal poverty. In just twodecades, their new experiment-based approach has trans-formed development econom-ics, which is now a flourishingfield of research.” They haveintroduced a new approach toobtaining reliable answersabout the best ways to fightglobal poverty, it said.

Several States on Mondayjoined hands to pave the

way for a common electronictoll system across the countryas mandated by the RoadTransport and HighwaysMinistry beginning December1. States signed an MoU for anintegrated FASTag with e-waybill system and also a NHAIprepaid wallet system to enablecommuters for a hassle free rideon tolled roads and express-ways throughout the country.

Road Transport andHighways Minister NitinGadkari said the integratedtolling system will provideseamless movement for roadusers and check revenues leak-age at toll plazas. Minister ofState for Road Transport andHighways Gen. (Retd.) V.KSingh and transport ministersand senior officials from sev-eral states were also in atten-dance.

The Ministry is encourag-ing States to come onboardFASTag, so that seamless move-ment of transport can beassured across the nation. Forthis, Scheme Guidelines forInclusion of State/ City TollPlaza under NETC programme(FASTag) was circulated to all

states by Indian HighwaysManagement Corp Ltd(IHMCL).

The Scheme offers par-t icipat ing Stateauthorities/agencies shorterturnaround time by allowingthem to be a part of therobust FASTag solution archi-tecture which already sup-ports approx. 6 million tagswith approximately daily 10lakh transactions. AnotherMoU was also signed betweenIHMCL and GST Network(GSTN) for integrating E-Way Bill system with FASTag.

"The move assumes specialsignificance due to the fact thatfrom 1st of December thisyear, toll collections on allNational Highways willmandatorily be done throughFASTag only.," said Gadkariinaugurating a conference on'One Nation One Tag - FASTag'in the national Capital to rollout the process for having aunified electronic system acrossthe country.

The Minister said that theFASTag is being positioned asthe 'Aadhaar' for a vehicle andin future efforts are being car-ried out to enable usage ofFASTag for making variousvehicle related payments apartfrom toll payments, such as fuel

payment, parking charges, etc. Under the National

Electronic Toll Collection pro-gramme of the Ministry, tollcollection at national high-ways toll plazas is done throughRFID based FASTags. However,collection at State highways tollplazas is done either manuallyor through other tags. Thisleads to inconvenience for theroad users.

FASTag is acceptable acrossover 490 National Highwaystoll plazas and selected 39+State highways toll plazas.

The Congress on Monday hitout at the BJP for harping

on scrapping of Article 370 inpoll rallies, saying the rulingparty and Prime MinisterNarendra Modi were deflectingattention from issues concerning common peoplelike economic slowdown, pricerise and unemployment.

Top BJP leaders, includingModi and party president AmitShah, have been repeatedlyspeaking about abrogation ofprovisions of Article 370 inJammu and Kashmir in theirrallies in poll-boundMaharashtra and Haryana.

Modi has challenged theCongress to publicly state it willrestore the controversial con-stitutional provision, whichgranted special status to Jammu& Kashmir, if voted to power.

Addressing a press meethere, AICC spokesman JaiveerShergill said instead of askingthe Congress whether it willrestore the now scrappedArticle 370, Modi should talkabout reducing the prices ofpetrol, diesel, onion and toma-to whose rate has crossed �70a kg in retail market.

Shergill said the primeminister should come to the

rescue of harried depositors ofscam-hit PMC Bank and alsotook a jibe at Modi over his 56-inch chest remark.

“The Congress will speakabout Article 370 during theAssembly elections in Jammu& Kashmir.

“But, if the Prime Ministerreally has a 56-inch chest, heshould work to reduce theprices of petrol, diesel, onionand tomato, and also handover the money of lakhs ofdepositors of PMC Bank,” hesaid.

The Congress spokesmanaccused the Prime Minister ofalways being in campaignmode instead of focusing ongovernance.

Speaking at the press meet,AICC general secretary R P NSingh said for the Governmentto find solutions to the eco-nomic slowdown and growingunemployment, it has to firstacknowledge these problems.

“Accept the problem beforeyou find solutions. Instead asenior Minister like

Ravishankar Prasad says threeHindi movies had becomeblockbusters and hence therewas no recession,” he said.

Singh said industrial out-put, manufacturing growth rateand investment have seen adecline while unemploymentwas at all-time high.

In BJP-ruled Maharashtra,between 2014 and 2018-19,220 factories had shutdown.Thousands of industrial unitsin Pune, an automobile hub,were on verge of closure, theformer Congress Minister said.

But, Chief MinisterDevendra Fadnavis and Modihave no answers to these prob-lems, Singh said.

“PMC Bank directors haveBJP links and hence Fadnavishas not uttered a word aboutthe bank’s collapse. If the ModiGovernment can take �1.76lakh crore from RBI (reserves)using its majority, can’t it askthe RBI to return money toPMC Bank depositors?” theCongress leader asked.

Singh said the BJPGovernments at the Centreand in Maharashtra have weak-ened Mumbai’s position as theeconomic capital by shifting theproposed International FinanceCentre, conceived by the UPAGovernment, to another State.

Former Maharashtra ChiefMinister Prithviraj Chavan

on Monday accused the rulingBJP of “sidestepping” coreissues like “economic down-turn” and instead raisingrhetoric over abrogation ofArticle 370 in the run-up to theState Assembly elections.

Chavan, who is in the frayfrom Karad South seat in Sataradistrict, dared the StateGovernment to name even asingle big ticket project con-ceived and implemented by itin the last five years.

“Projects like the NaviMumbai international airport,Eastern Freeway, memorialsfor Babasaheb Ambedkar andChhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,Coastal Road, Trans-HarbourLink were all conceived by theerstwhile Congress-led gov-ernment. The ‘bhumipujan’ forthe Metro 3 line was per-formed by us. OurGovernment had improved theeast-west connectivity inMumbai,” he told a press con-ference.

He alleged the BJP was shy-

ing away from discussing theissues concerning the commonman in its campaigning.

“People are now realisingthat Article 370 is being rakedup to sidestep the real issues.The economy is a cause of con-cern now. Automotive andconstruction sectors inMaharashtra are severely affect-ed. Joblessness is on the high,but the Government is in adenial mode,” he added.

Taking a veiled swipe atUnion Ministers NirmalaSitharaman and Ravi ShankarPrasad for their statements,Chavan said, “Instead ofaddressing serious issues, thegovernment is blaming Olaand Uber. They are referringto the box office successes offilms to state that all is well.”

Chavan also asked theGovernment to “reveal links offew industrialists with thebanking sector” which heblamed for “irregularities insome PSU banks and thePunjab and MaharashtraCooperative (PMC) bank”,resulting into depositors losingtheir money.

Maharashtra assembly elec-tions, Uttar Pradesh ChiefMinister Yogi Adityanath onMonday hailed Prime MinisterNarendra Modi for removingspecial status of Jammu andKashmir under Article 370, amove he described as the“final nail in the coffin of ter-rorism”.

Addressing a public rally inLonavla in Pune district in sup-port of BJP candidate SanjayBhegde, Adityanath said that bynullifying Article 370 Moditurned the idea of “One nation,great nation” into reality.

“Kashmir, which is calledas paradise on the Earth,turned into hell under Article370. Terrorists used to killinnocent civilians and Indiansoldiers,” he said, adding thatthe withdrawn provision was amajor impediment in develop-ment of Jammu & Kashmir.

The chief minister alsosaid that it was Syama PrasadMukherjee, the founder of theBJP’s forerunner Jana Sangha,who had staunchly opposed the

idea of “two Prime Ministers,two signs, and twoConstitutions” under Article370.

“The idea of ‘one nation,great nation’ became a realitythanks to Narendra Modijiand (Union Home Minister)Amit Shah. With this decision,the final nail was put in the cof-fin of terrorism. The move hassent the message that terrorismhas no place on the Indian soil,”he said.

Adityanath also praisedModi Government for workingfor the cause of the empower-ment of women, which he saidwas previously restricted onlyto “slogans”. He listed schemes

like ‘Beti Bachav, Beti Padhao’,

‘Ujjwala Yojana’, and thelaw to criminalise triple talaqto make his point.

He said his Maharashtracounterpart DevendraFadnavis, who is seeking asecond term, has “transformed”the lives of people by imple-menting several welfare pro-jects.

“Gone are the days whenthousands of farmers used tocommit suicide. The FadnavisGovernment has not onlystopped suicides by launchingpro-farmer schemes, but alsogenerated employment oppor-tunities for people,” he added.

Making an issue of a suicideby a distressed farmer

clad in BJP poll T-shirt aheadof Maharashtra Chief MinisterDevendra Fadnavis ‘public rallyin Buldhana district of easternMaharashta, the Oppositionon Monday slammed Fadnavisfor lack of “insensitivity” andfailure to visit the family mem-bers of the deceased farmers.

A day after 38-year oldRaju Talware was found hang-ing from a tree branch in hisnative village in Buldhana dis-trict on Sunday morning nearthe venue of the ChiefMinister’s rally venue, formerdeputy chief minister andsenior NCP leader Ajit Pawarsaid in Pune on Monday: “Thefarmers’ suicides are continu-ing unabated. Yesterday, a dis-tressed farmer committed sui-cide the chief minister’s rallyvenue. He was wearing B-T-shirt. Despite such an unfor-tunate incidents having takenplace near the CM’s rally venue,he did not bother to visit thefamily of deceased farmer”.

The farmer’s body wasfound hanging to a tree branch

in native Khatked village at 8.30am. He was sporting a colour-ful T-shirt with the BJP symbol‘Lotus’ embossed on it alongwith the campaign slogan,“Punha Aanuya Aaple Sarkar”(Let’s Re-elect OurGovernment). The T-shirts hadbeen distributed by the BJP toactivists ahead of the October21 Assembly elections. Theincident happened on a daywhen Prime Minister NarendraModi and BJP president AmitShah were in Maharashtra to address elec-tion rallies.

Dubbing the incident as“extremely serious”, Shiv Senafarmers’ leader Kishore Tiwariasked the various political par-ties to cognisance of the agrar-ian crisis and consequent farm-ers’ distress in the State. “ Thiskind of incidents turn focus onthe gravity of the agrarian cri-sis in the State. TheGovernment should take con-crete measures to prevent thesituation from going out ofhand,” Tiwari said.

Ajit Pawar’s attack againstFadnavis over farmer suicidescomes on the heels of the chiefminister’s charge that the con-

tinued farmers’ suicides in thestate were a fallout of the “sins”committed by former UnionAgriculture Minister and NCPpresident Sharad Pawar and hispolicies.

At their election rallies,the NCP and Congress leadershave been slamming theDevendra FadnavisGovernment for its failure toarrest the farmers’ suicides andinitiative concrete measures toresolve the agrarian distress inthe state. They have also beentargeting the ruling BJP for itsfailure to implement the farmerloan waiver scheme.

The severity of the agrari-an crisis in Maharashtra shouldbe seen in the context of theunabated farmers’ suicides and

poor implementation of thefarm loan waiver schemeannounced by the BJP-led saf-fron alliance Government inthe state.

The available official sta-tistics, obtained by RTI activistJeetendra Ghadge, reveal thatthe four years from 6268 in2015 to 11,995 in 2018.Incidentally, in the first fourmonths of 2019, as many as 808farmers committed suicides invarious parts of the state. Thefarmers’ suicides are continu-ing unabated.

The Opposition’s chargeagainst the BJP-led saffronalliance Government inMaharashtra is that theDevendra Fadnavis dispensa-tion has badly implemented its

the 34,022 crore loan waiverscheme “Chhatrapati ShivajiMaharaj Krishi SammanYojana” which it announced onJune 4 2017.

Seeking to blunt the criti-cism of the Opposition parties,Fadnavis had lashed out at SrPawar an election in Akot talu-ka of the epi-centre of farmersuicide belt— Akola district inVidarbha region on Saturday.

“Farmer suicides are thesins of Sharad Pawar and hisGovernment in Maharashtra. Itstarted and increased duringyour regime,” Fadnavis hadsaid

“Pawar is talking aboutfarmer suicides in his rallies inVidarbha. I want to ask him,who was in power inMaharashtra when farmersstarted committing suicides,”Fadnavis had pointed out.

Fadnavis had charged thatPawar had stopped irrigationwater supply to easternMaharashtra and said the lat-ter’s “corrupt policies” haddeprived the farmers ofVidarbha region of flow offunds from the earlier DF gov-ernment in the state and UPAgovernment at the Centre

Peaceful precincts acrossKashmir valley Monday

reverberated with buzzingsounds of different ‘ringtones’after a gap of 71 long days,bringing back smiles on thefaces of common people,including businessmen, stu-dents and tour operators.

Large number of people,staying away from Kashmir,especially those who had failedto get connected with theirloved ones in the absence ofland line facilities, finally heardtheir parents speak, children‘giggle’ after a long gap.

Many local residents inSrinagar cheerfully claimed, “Itwas like Eid is round the corner”.

Rough estimates suggestedaround 40 lakh post paid sub-scribers across Kashmir valleywere connected to the outsideworld.

Mobile calling facility wassuspended across all the net-

works since August 5 whenHome Minister Amit Shahannounced the Government’sdecision to nullify Article 370to strip Jammu & Kashmir ofits special status, and alsobifurcated the state into twoUnion Territories.

Since morning, every onewas seen hooked on to theirmobile phones and strugglingto get connected as the author-ities had announced that theservices would be restoredaround 12.00 p.m. Initially thenetwork was slow but as theday progressed people startedtalking to each other freely andexchanged greetings.

Despite shutdown, mostof the streets, wore a festivelook across different parts ofSrinagar and other districtheadquarters following restora-tion of mobile calling facilities.

Tour operators in Kashmirvalley are looking forward tofresh arrival of tourists in thecoming days following restora-

tion of mobile calling facility.Security forces are also expecting to intensify theircounter terrorist operationsacross Kashmir valley onreceipt of real time informationfrom different ‘sources’.

Since August 5, total incidents of militant relatedviolence had come down drastically.

Students, staying awayfrom their classes and gearingup for their competitive exams,

are also expected to resumetheir studies with a positiveframe of mind to make up forthe loss of two months of classroom studies. Health careproviders also heaved a sigh ofrelief as they were facing lot ofhardships in the absence ofcommunication facilities inproviding best facilities to theirpatients.

In Kathua, Governor SatyaPal Malik defended the com-munication blockade in the

Valley saying safety ofKashmiris was more importantthan mobile services which theterrorists use for their activities and mobilisation.

“People used to make noisethat there is no telephone. Westopped telephone servicesbecause terrorists were usingthem for their activities, mobil-isation and indoctrination,”Malik said at a police functionhere.

“For us, the life of aKashmiri was important andnot telephone. People were liv-ing without telephones earlieralso,” he added.

Asserting that mobilephone services were restorednow, he said people can goabout their normal lives andclaimed that tourists had begunarriving in the Valley.

He also ensured that inter-net services will soon berestored.

“Young boys and girls werehaving difficulties earlier but

now they can speak to eachother. Now, there are no issues.Very soon, we will restoreinternet services,” he remarked.

The Governor said thatthe situation in Kashmir wasnormal and there had been noviolence in the last more thantwo months.

He said in the last twomonths, “not a single bullet”was fired in the Valley and noprotests had taken placed as hecredited the security forces fortheir strict vigil.

“The Prime Minister(Narendra Modi) had con-gratulated me for this. I saidthat I am not worthy of thepraise and you should thankthe Kashmiri people and thepolice forces for taking steps toensure that law and order ismaintained,” Malik said.

He termed the J&K Policeas one of the best police forcein the country and promised toincrease the compensationamount offered to them.

An unprecedented increase in the num-ber of visitors to the sea shore town of

Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram in Tamil)has been the balance sheet of the summitlevel informal talks between PrimeMinister Narendra Modi and ChinesePresident Xi Jinping held here on Fridayand Saturday.

The media build up to the event andthe discussions held by the leaders of Asia’stwo military powers and that too in frontof the global media has increased thestature of this ancient town as well as TamilNadu, according to Chief MinisterEdappadi Palaniswami.

“The informal summit between lead-ers of India and China held atMahabalipuram has made Tamil Nadu acentre of attention among global powers.This has increased the stature of the State,”said Palaniswami in a statement releasedon Monday.

Sunday and Monday saw unprece-dented crowd making it to the sea shoretown and watching with amazement thesculptures carved out during the Pallavaand Chola periods of rule. Mahabalipuramhas been described by archaeologists andhistorians as Tamil Nadu’s ‘Gateway toChina’.

K Pandiarajan, Tamil Nadu Ministerfor official language said that the descisionto establish a connect between Tamil Naduand the Fujian province of China was arecognition for Tamil and Tamil Nadu’s

rich cultural heritage. This is the first offi-cial reaction from the Tamil NaduGovernment about the establishment ofTamil Nadu-Fujian link by the two headsof States. The increase in number oftourists to Mahabalipuram during the lasttwo days prove that the summit talks havehelped the heritage town to boost its maineconomy –tourism. “People in Tamil Nadu

itself were not aware of the significance ofMahabalipuram and the patronage of theseaside resort was limited to businessbarons and industrialists who have builtfarm houses and villas along the sea shoretown. Hereafter the town would see manytourists from India and abroad flocking toMahabalipuram,” said T Ramakrishnan,author and columnist.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumaron Monday expressed

concern over the rising trend offarmers in Bihar setting agricul-tural residue on fire and warnedthe cultivators burning stubble infields will be deprived of the facil-ities provided by the StateGovernment.

Underscoring the adverseimpact of stubble burning on theenvironment, he instructed agri-culture department officials tolaunch a campaign to end thepractise. “Farmers burning stub-ble (crop residue) in their fieldswill be deprived of facilitiesbeing given by the state govern-ment,” Kumar said while inu-agurating a two-day interna-tional conference on “CropResidue Management” here.

The event was organisedjointly by the State’s agriculturedepartment and BiharAgriculture University, Sabour(Bhagalpur).

The State Government isproviding every possible help tothe farmers in the State, he saidadding power is supplied tothem at a rate of 75 paise per unit.In addition, the State is giving�60 as subsidy on every litre ofdiesel.

Earlier, the practise of stub-ble burning was prevalent inDelhi and Punjab causing badimpact on Delhi’s environment,he said while adding that the cus-tom has now gained prevalencein some parts of the State.

“Farmers need to be con-vinced that stubble burning notonly has its adverse impact onproductivity but also has itseffect on environment...Farmersneed to be convinced that theproper use of stubble willincrease their income too,” theCM said.

Kisan Salahkars (agricultureadvisors) and representativesfrom agricultural institutionsshould convince the farmersabout the ill-effects of burningstubble/crop residue and createawarness among them against it,he said. Kumar cited the rainfallfigures to highlight the impact ofthe climate change Bihar haswitnessed in past few years.

The Trinamool Congress leadershiphas decided to conduct a survey to

assess its support base and penetration ofthe BJP in 107 municipalities of the stateand the Kolkata Municipal Corporation(KMC) that will go to polls in 2020. Theelections to civic bodies are being tippedas “mini assembly elections” ahead of thecrucial 2021 assembly poll in WestBengal. Speaking to PTI on condition ofanonymity, TMC sources said that thesurvey would be conducted by the partywith the active help of poll strategistPrashant Kishor and his I-PAC team.

Following the TMC’s dismal perfor-mance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, theparty had appointed the I-PAC to shoreup its popularity in the state ahead of the2021 assembly election. “The surveywould look into various aspects, includ-ing our support base among people, localissues, image of the councillors, griev-ances of the locals and penetration of theBJP in those areas. If everything goes well,the survey is likely to start from

November and by February 2020, we willhave the report,” a senior TMC leadersaid. Based on the report, the strategy andselection of candidates would be con-ducted for the municipal polls, theleader said. The Trinamool Congressleadership has called a meeting of ward,block and district committees’ presidentson Tuesday. West Bengal Chief Ministerand TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee,along with senior party functionaries andPrashant Kishor, will attend the meetingto prepare a draft strategy for the munic-ipal polls.

According to party sources, theresults of the 107 municipal polls and theKMC, covering nearly 60 per cent of thestate, will act as an indicator of a possi-ble outcome of the 2021 assembly poll.The municipal polls have acquired moreimportance due to the BJP making deepinroads in the state and emerging as themain challenger to the ruling TMC bypushing the Congress and the Left Frontto distant third and fourth positionrespectively.

In Tripura, the Molsom tribesmen cel-ebrate the Sangkrak puja duringmaagh (January-February). Sangkrakis their kula devata (clan deity) andgoats, chicken and pigs (sometimes

buffaloes) are sacrificed by the priest. At least14 animals are sacrificed as chaudha deva-ta (14 gods) puja is part of the ritual. Moreanimals are offered if the community wish-es, after which the meat is cooked and dis-tributed as prasad (sacred offering).

The sacrifice of life — for sharing one’sgood fortune (harvest) with the divine — isconducted with utmost sobriety and pietyin temples or open altars. There is nothingvoyeuristic about it: Life is returned to itssource for renewal. The hoary traditions ofIndia’s diverse communities are sanctified bytradition and sometimes mentioned insacred texts. The Yajur Veda mentions ani-mal sacrifice, which is today mostly linkedwith Shakta (Devi) traditions, widely preva-lent in West Bengal, Assam, Tripura andOdisha, where Durga puja during Navratriis accompanied by animal sacrifice to com-memorate the slaying of the asura, Mahisha,who took the form of a buffalo.

Hindu dharma is not a canonical faith likethe Abrahamic creeds. It is not codified as theimmutable word of a particular god as con-veyed through a messenger. The tradition issacred in itself; changes are sanctified asdesired by age. The existence of a text doesnot prevent change; absence of one does notnegate hoary beliefs and practices.

Flawed equivalence led the TripuraHigh Court to ban sacrifice of animals inState-run temples on the eve of Durga ash-tami. The shocked State Government is con-sidering an appeal before the SupremeCourt, while a scion of the erstwhile royalfamily said the court cannot overrulepromises made at Accession (September 9,1947) whereby the State Government wouldcontinue sponsorship (including sacrifice ofanimals) of several traditional tribal pujas in14 temples, including Mata Tripureswaritemple and Durga Bari.

Responding to a writ petition(C)(PIL)No.2/2018 by Subhas Bhattacharjee (who isunlikely to use the Tripura precedent to forcethe issue in West Bengal), the Tripura HighCourt on September 27, 2019, declared bali(sacrifice) a “social evil” and “against theConstitutional mandate and spirit.”

At a time when more and more StateGovernments are taking over the manage-ment of cash-rich Hindu temples and divert-ing monies offered by devotees to their deitiesto non-religious purposes, the court ruled thatthe State can regulate or restrict any econom-ic, financial, political or secular activity asso-ciated with a religious practice. TheGovernment may participate in religiousactivities, “which are secular in nature”,(whatever that means) but the “act of the Stateof offering one goat every day, for a sacrificein the Mata Tripureswari temple and othertemples on certain occasions, lacks the

essence of economic, commer-cial, political or secular charac-ter and, hence, the action of theState in offering such an animalfor sacrifice is neither permissi-ble under the Indian Constitutionnor any statute.”

The court asserted that the“right of offering an animal forsacrifice is not an integral andessential part of the religion, pro-tected under Article 25(1) of theConstitution.” Declaring that the“State has no religion other thanconstitutionalism and the expres-sion ‘person’ under Article 25 hasto be in reference to natural per-son”, as in the case of the SupremeCourt’s verdict in Sabarimala, itruled that the “withdrawal ofsuch practice would not tanta-mount to any change, fundamen-tal in character of the religion.”

Pointing out that humansacrifice was stopped (by KingGobinda Manikya, 1660-1667,1671-78), the court ruled that the500-year-old tradition of sacrific-ing animals in Tripureswari DeviTemple, either by the State or byan individual, is not an essentialpart of the religion and is not pro-tected under Article 25(1) andheld it to be against the princi-ple/doctrine of morality andhealth, and also against the pro-visions of the Prevention ofCruelty to Animal Act, 1960. Itcalled the practice violative ofArticle 21 of the Constitution ofIndia.

Though constitutional pro-visions are subject to legislative

amendment and to varying inter-pretations by courts at varioustimes, the Tripura High Courtdeclared, “Constitutional valuesare to be embraced and not to besuperseded by personal beliefs.”This means that non-canonicaltraditions of non-monotheisticfaiths are subordinate to judicial-ly determined “constitutionalvalues” that are not mentioned ordefined in any law.

The court issued a blanketban on sacrifice within anytemple in Tripura and orderedthe district magistrate/collectorand superintendent of police ofall districts to ensure complianceby installing CCTV cameras inthe temples and placing thevideo recording before the courtevery month. It is questionableif the Constitution permitscourts to undertake such track-ing. The Tripura judgementapprovingly cites the SupremeCourt’s verdict on Sabarimala(2018) that trampled the reli-gious sensitivities of devotees inpursuit of a reformist agenda ofgiving equality to women of aparticular age group, who didnot want this “liberation.”

The issue of locus standi isrelevant. The Tripura benchhailed the petitioner as a retiredjudicial officer but there is noth-ing on record to show that he wasa believer. Yet, he has ensuredcodification of “essential” reli-gious practices in Hindu templesand tampered with the verynature of the faith.

Indian courts are increasing-ly wading into theology to thedetriment of the Hindu dharma.In the Shirur Mutt case (1954),the Supreme Court enunciated adoctrine of essential religiouspractice and ruled that the “essen-tial part of a religion” should beascertained with reference tothe doctrines of that religion itself.But now courts are deciding the“essential” in an interventionistmanner.

Five centuries of sacrifice inTripura temples makes the ritu-al “settled usage and custom.” Thefact that the State Governmentshouldered this responsibility in1947 means the deity(s) shouldhave been treated as a juristicentity(s) with the right to its spe-cial puja-paddhati. Indeed, thediversity of Hindu tradition enti-tles all deities with distinct ritu-als to be treated as denominationsunder Article 26 of theConstitution.

Finally, the most distressingpart of the judgement was thecomment that sacrifice cannot bepermitted as Tripureswari tem-ple is being promoted as an“international tourist destina-tion” for people of all beliefs andfaiths. Henceforth, the imaginedtastes of tourists will dictate theworship of the Devi. Is this anessential part of secularism andconstitutionalism?

Sir — Rashtriya SwayamsevakSangh (RSS) chief Mohan SinghBhagwat recently said that “lynch-ing” is a foreign concept and it isfor this reason that it is irrelevantfor our purposes. However, real-ity — good or bad — cannot beignored simply because of its for-eign origin. We cannot overlookthe fact that instances of mob vio-lence, many of which happen tothose belonging to minority com-munities, have increased mani-fold. The Aryans were of foreignorigin, too, but can we ignoretheir assimilation into Indiansociety for that reason?

On the other hand, lynchingis a shame wherever it happensacross the world. In his playRomeo and Juliet , WilliamShakespeare wrote, “What’s in aname? That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell assweet...” Indeed, rose will smell assweet even if it is called golap inBengali or gulab in Hindi.Following this we can also say,“What’s in a name? That whichwe call lynching/ By any otherword would carry equal shame.”

Sir — Rashtriya SwayamsevakSangh (RSS) chief Mohan SinghBhagwat’s claims on “lynchings”stand out for their clear denial of

the brutal reality of the crime inIndia. He is not bothered by thecrime itself; he seems to only beconcerned with how it is “defam-ing” Hindu society. Whether ornot lynching is a Western con-

struct is up for discussion but per-haps Bhagwat and the RSS needto be reminded that the last pub-lic “lynching” in the West tookplace decades ago, when a Whitesupremacist group brutally

lynched some members of theblack community.

Bhagwat’s take on the econ-omy is also disquieting. There isno denying that the vision of anation in which one majority reli-gion reigns supreme lives on.Bhagwat would like all citizens tolive in denial of the gross viola-tions of the rights of minoritycommunities that occur daily.

Sir — The Right to Information(RTI) Act, 2005, is, perhaps, oneof the best legislations the coun-try has. It empowers the citizensto take a critical look into theworkings of the Government. Asagainst Union Home MinisterAmit Shah’s claim that there hasbeen a reduction in RTI queriesbecause the Government hasturned “transparent”, reality is thatthe filing of RTIs in itself is risky.There is a need to revisit the pro-visions of the RTI Act.

Council resolution condemning the“heinous and cowardly terror attacks”against India, even though initially, itslone opposition in the 15-memberCouncil to any mention of terrorismresulted in a delay of nearly one week inthe issuance of the statement. At the RICSummit, China endorsed the proposalfor a “closer policy coordination to erad-icate the breeding grounds of terrorism.”On the issue of listing Masood Azhar asglobal terrorist under UNSC resolution1267, China finally shifted its positionafter 10 years, a key breakthrough inbilateral relations, much to the satisfac-tion of the domestic constituency inIndia. Despite remaining apart on tac-tical and strategic issues, these develop-ments do suggest a positive side of bilat-eral relations.

In the context of bilateral relations,Xi’s recent visit to India holds importancefor many reasons. First, it underscoresthe centrality of the leadership discourseand its importance in bilateral relationsunder the present regime. In countriesas vast as India and China, the leadersderive their strength from their domes-tic constituencies, which also propelsthem to keep assuring each other inorder to avoid any crisis in the region.Second, the developments in SouthAsia and China’s inroads in the Indianperiphery, including the China PakistanEconomic Corridor (CPEC), remain asource of concern for New Delhi. Thiskind of summit allows for better under-standing of each other’s intentions in apositive and open manner from the high-est leadership, while also making a wayforward to a more agreeable frameworkfor a peaceful geo-political space in theregion. This also sets a better directionfor bilateral relations in the future. Andthird, the summit holds significance foreconomic relations between India and

China. This forms the biggest strategicasset in bilateral relations. The decisionto set up a new high-level economic andtrade dialogue mechanism betweenboth will help address India’s concernson trade deficit and to promote bettermarket access to Chinese markets. Quitenotably, both the nations also agreed todeepen the fight against terror financingand reiterated their resolve to deepenexchanges at all levels, including legislatures, cultural and youth organi-sations.

Global politics remains at thecrossroads, with rising protectionism andunilateralism affecting stability. To this,add the rise of Asia and other regionaldisruptions, which have come withtheir own set of challenges for both.These uncertainties at the internation-al and regional level do pose a commonconcern to both China and India. Thus,it is imperative to boost the idea of “devel-opmental partnership” between both andto strive for greater consultation on allmatters of common interest, right fromthe economy to security.

The summit was an importantopportunity to deepen dialogue and topromote mutual understanding. Themain task before bilateral relations is howto remain more prudent while strength-ening channels of communication andcoordination on a range of issues. At atime, when the international situation iswitnessing re-adjustments, the summitheld significance, propelling both nationsto look for mutual stability and cooper-ation in bilateral relations. As was aptlyput by Modi at the summit, the “Wuhanspirit had given a new momentum andtrust to our ties. A new era of cooper-ation will begin today through theChennai Connect.”

After more than a year since the April 2018Wuhan summit between India and China,the leadership from both countries met

again for the second informal summit at the his-toric town Mamallapuram in the southern Stateof Tamil Nadu. As both the nations consistentlyendorse the geo-civilisational framework of theirbilateral relations, the coastal city formed the rightsetting for the meeting between Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and the Chinese President XiJinping, given its historical significance for boththe neighbours. The place boasts strong trade andcommerce links going way back to the second cen-tury BC between the Pallava kingdom and impe-rial China. In fact, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlaihad also visited the place for a short tour duringhis trip to India in 1956. In the post-colonial era,the narrative for India-China relations has beenbuilt around the expression of Asian-African sol-idarity at Bandung (1955), Indo-China rap-prochement and pragmatism (1989), sharedvision for the 21st century (2008) and the objec-tive of the Asian dream (2015). The WuhanSummit, which took place last year post theDoklam standoff, was an attempt to restore theequilibrium in bilateral relations. It underlined therole of “strategic guidance” to the two militariesfrom the leadership to maintain peace and tran-quility at the border between the neighbours.

In the post-Wuhan timeline, both Modi andXi have maintained close high-level exchanges witheach other, having met at different multilateral plat-forms and through various meetings. At the glob-al level, both India and China are members of mul-tilateral forums like BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India,China and South Africa), Shanghai CooperationOrganisation, G20 and Russia-India-ChinaSummit (RIC) sharing common interests in pro-moting globalisation and opposing trade protec-tionism. In the bilateral context, the sixth StrategicEconomic Dialogue (SED) 2019 reached a “newconsensus” on cooperation in policy coordination,infrastructure, energy conservation and environ-mental protection, high technology, energy andmedicine between both. Moreover, at the ninthFinancial Dialogue (2019), both the countriesaimed to strengthen the framework for macro-eco-nomic cooperation and investment. These devel-opments reflect a desire from both sides towardsgreater alignment in their development strategiesfor the future.

On defence cooperation, both the countriesresumed their Annual Defence Joint MilitaryExercise ‘Hand-in-Hand’, 2018, in the city ofChengdu, China and will hold it again inDecember this year in Umroi, Meghalaya.Moreover, two Indian ships visited the Chineseport of Qingdao in April this year to mark the cel-ebration of the 70th anniversary of the People’sLiberation Army (PLA) Navy in China.

After the Pulwama terror attacks in Jammu& Kashmir, China had backed the UN Security

Undoubtedly, India isgoing through a badphase in its economic

growth history. Data released bythe Ministry of Commerce andIndustry, the Reserve Bank ofIndia (RBI) and the NationalStatistical Office (NSO) indicatethe likelihood of a prolongedperiod of slow growth, whileMoody’s Investors Service cutour Gross Domestic Product(GDP) growth forecast for 2019-20 to 5.8 per cent from the ear-lier estimate of 6.2 per cent.Further, the macroeconomicdata shows that factory outputfigures fell by 1.1 per cent inAugust, recording the poorestproduction rates in seven years.

These and several otherfactors that have led to the fis-cal slowdown don’t augur wellfor a country that for nearly twoyears enjoyed the tag of “thefastest growing major economyin the world.” Moreover, thedeceleration struck when the

world was looking to India forits ability to sustain and attractforeign investments and theradical reforms it initiated in thepast. Globally, economies, bothin developed and developingcountries, are grappling with asimilar crisis where growth rateshave seen a major slowdown andthis is expected to continue.

In a consumption-led econ-omy like India, the revival ofgrowth will largely depend onhow much people spend.Therefore, the Government’schallenge is to put cash in theirhands, provide relief to labour-intensive sectors, rationaliseGoods and Services Tax (GST)rates, create jobs and revivedemand for goods and services.But such measures are notmeant to produce a long-termimpact but work well in theshorter term.

According to the UN Tradeand Development Report 2019 inGeneva, global growth is expect-ed to witness a decline fromthree per cent in 2018 to a pro-jected 2.3 per cent in 2019-20.With increasing debt levels,subdued growth and escalationin trade tensions, global eco-nomic growth momentum hassuffered badly. Rising trends ofhyper-nationalism manifestedin the form of inward lookingtrade policies, de-globalisation

and political unwillingness toaddress issues such as climatechange and terrorism couldpotentially trigger a full-blowneconomic crisis. CarolineAnstey, Senior Adviser,Sustainable Markets, WorldEconomic Forum, in a recentarticle, titled “We need an eco-nomic model that works for peo-ple and the planet” highlightsthat “an increasing number ofmillennial business leaders andwomen in particular are callingfor a new kind of market: A sus-tainable market, an inclusive,equitable, green and profitablemarket where sustainable prin-ciples drive growth, generatinglong-term value through theintegration and balance of nat-ural, social, human and financialcapital.” Tough times call for flex-ible, sustainable and resilientpolicy action that will lay aroadmap for securing the future,drawing lessons from the pre-sent crisis.

As a result, vulnerabilities inthe current economic policiesand periodic slowdowns havebecome subjects of intensedebate and scrutiny globally,raising questions on the eco-nomic models that financialmarkets are following. This isparticularly true as the impact ofthe 2008 global economic melt-down continues to haunt many

economies even today. JosephStiglitz, noted AmericanEconomist in his book Freefall:America, Free Markets, and theSinking of the World Economypoints out that “during the GreatDepression of the 1930s, the eco-nomics profession, especiallyin America, was having a hardtime. The reigning paradigmthen, as now, held that marketswere efficient and self-correct-ing. As the economy plungedinto recession and then depres-sion, many gave some simpleadvice: Do nothing. Just wait andthe economy will quickly recov-er.” It was around this time thatJohn Maynard Keynes, a Britisheconomist of the time, pro-posed a remedial action in theform of increasing expenditureand creating more jobs to tack-le a prolonged period of slow-down. For a demographicallyvast India, this may seem incred-ibly challenging but consump-tion and job creation hold thekey to economic revival.Evidently, many would agreethat it was President Franklin DRoosevelt’s New DealProgramme that pulled Americaout of the Great Depression thatfocussed a lot of its attention onexpenditure and job creation.

The immediate steps torevive the economy should,therefore, take into considera-

tion — reviving demand,increasing expenditure and cre-ating jobs.

Reviving the weakeningdemand for goods and servicesis one of the foremost steps toboost growth and provide animmediate relief to a saggingeconomy. A fillip to privateconsumption will do wonders inensuring that people spendmoney, thereby triggering agradual rise in demand and thus,production of goods and ser-vices. But spending will happenonly when there is money in thehands of the people. Usually,during slowdowns or recession,people prefer to hoard money ordeposit it in banks for future use.And it seems that is exactly whatis happening here at themoment. Therefore, theGovernment should announcemore festive bonuses and incen-tives so that higher expendituremay result in revival of goodsand services. Another way thatthe Government can boostgrowth and revive demand is byway of offering tax cuts. Therecent announcement of corpo-rate tax cuts is a welcome stepin this direction.

Though the recent mea-sures that the Government hasannounced aim to increasespending, very few of them willserve the intended purpose.

One of the reasons is that con-sumer confidence is at an all-time low. As per the RBI’s latestConsumer Confidence Survey,people’s feelings around employ-ment, income and discretionaryspending are at a six-year low.Therefore, the challenge at handis to restore consumer confi-dence so that instead of holdingback, people may loosen theirpurse strings a bit.

The rising employment ratehas added to the current slow-down and will further escalateit if this is not contained. As perthe latest Periodic Labour ForceSurvey (PLFS), the unemploy-ment rate in India stands at a 45year high. Employment gener-ation is a key component of astable economy. When thereare enough jobs for people,credit availability and discre-tionary spending will naturallygo up, resulting in increased eco-nomic activity. Amid fears of aworsening economic crisis, theGovernment should be willingto take further action to fix thedamage and propose a long-term roadmap to build econom-ic resilience, sustainability andflexibility and secure the futureof the world’s second-most pop-ulous country.

Hair fall is very common in today’s hectic and unhealthylifestyle. Whether men or women, hair fall is a problem that

everyone is facing. The most likely cause of scalp hair loss isAndrogenetic Alopecia (AGA). The underlying cause of woman’sAGA is believed to be related to production of androgenetic(male) hormones and their effect on the hair follicle — the sameunderlying cause responsible for male androgenetic alopecia (malepattern baldness).

However, hair loss in women can occur for reasons other thanfemale pattern baldness like breaking of hair from treatmentsand twisting or pulling of hair, certain skin diseases that lead toscarring of the hair follicles; hormonal abnormalities, iron defi-ciency or vitamin deficiency, medications such as chemothera-py and beta blockers; temporary shedding of hair after a majorillness, surgery, or pregnancy.

Hair thinning in women is different from that of male pat-tern of baldness. In female hair thins mainly on the top and crownof the scalp. The hair loss rarely progresses to baldness in womenand develop the cue-ball appearance often seen in male-patternandrogenetic alopecia. Female pattern baldness does not meanthat a woman has a medical disorder.

In most cases, hair loss ismild or moderate. For a perma-nent and more complete solu-tion you may want to considerhair transplantation. In most ofthe cases doctors even use boththe manual and the mostadvanced Robotic System forhair transplantation with nodowntime.

To stop hair fall problemmany people use expensive cos-metics, conditioners and sham-poos available in the market. Butthey don’t understand that theeffect of these cosmetics mightharm the scalp and hair roots. Abetter understanding of whatshampoo and conditioner doesmay help with this question.Shampoo is a cleaner, it’s sup-posed to get all the dirt andgrime out of your hair. Hairproducts are extensively used

because hair is that aspect of your appearance which completesyour look. Shampoos, conditioners, gels and serums may makeyour hair look perfect for the day, but in the long run they aredoing nothing but damaging your hair. Such cosmetics effect thehair quantity and quality leading to excessive dandruff, thinningof hair or redness of scalp.

Hairsprays are even more dangerous as they can result in scalpdamage and permanent discoloration of hair. Hair colours andhair dyes are next to toxic as allergic reactions can cause burn-ing, redness, itchy scalp, breathing difficulties and facialswelling. The chemicals in hair dyes are toxic and can cause dis-eases like cancer, reproductive failure and damage to lungs.

Today, many people use modern technologies like laser toget rid of hair fall problem. But, many people have some mis-conceptions that laser and aesthetic medicine treatment causeshair reduction that will be harmful to health, can damage inter-nal organs. But the fact is the depth of laser penetration is 1-4mm, it reaches only the hair follicles and is then completely dis-sipated and does not penetrate deeper. Therefore, weak laserslike low level laser therapy helps to grow hair on the scalp with-out causing much damage.

Poor dietary habits,increased stress andharsh skincare rou-

tines were among the mostsignificant factors associatedwith acne, according to a study.

The research was presented at the 28thEuropean Academy of Dermatology andVenereology Congress in Madrid. “For thefirst time, this study allows us to identifythe most important exposome factorsrelating to acne from patient questioningprior to any treatment prescription,” saidthe study’s lead researcher Brigitte Drenofrom the University Hospital of Nantes inFrance.

The results showed that significantlymore individuals with acne (48.2 per cent)consumed dairy products daily com-pared to individuals who did not (38.8 percent). The difference was also statistical-ly significant for soda juices or syrups (35.6per cent vs 31 per cent), pastries andchocolate (37 per cent vs 27.8 per cent) andsweets (29.7 per cent vs 19.1 per cent).

Surprisingly 11 per cent of acne suf-ferers consume whey proteins versus 7 percent without acne and 11.9 per cent of acnesufferers consume anabolic steroids ver-sus 3.2 per cent without acne.

Exposure to pollution or stress wasalso more frequently observed in partic-ipants with acne compared to control par-ticipants.

The research also found that harshskincare practices were more common inacne sufferers.

Using theirinvasive technology, Parashas done the difficult jobas it provided a conclusiverelief to this ongoingproblem.

A 21-year-old manAmit Kumar, who hailsfrom Haryana, had been suf-fering from chest pain, breath-lessness on minimal exertion.Echocardiogram showed severe aorticregurgitation with dilated ascending aorta.CT aortogram showed dilatation of aortaover 5.9cms (normal range -2.0-3.5cms).He was advised to undergo a complex

heart surgery called as Bentall’s operation. “This was the first time we were treat-

ing such a patient. Through this surgerywe replaced ascending aorta and aortic

valve together. This operation is gen-erally done through a full midline

sternotomy wound around 25cm in length. As he has to joincollege in Australia in a fewmonths, we decided to do itthrough minimally inva-sive approach and did thesame surgery through a 9

cm incision, by using latestminimally invasive technolo-

Retail inflation climbed to a14-month high of 3.99 per

cent in September due to cost-lier vegetables and pulses butstill remained within the RBI’scomfort zone, government datashowed on Monday.

The Consumer PriceIndex-based inflation stood at3.28 per cent in August and3.70 per cent in the September2018. The previous high was4.17 per cent in July 2018.

However, the wholesaleinflation in September slippedto an over three-year low of0.33 per cent.

The CPI data released bythe National Statistical Office(NSO) showed that the rate ofprice rise in the food basket inSeptember 2019 was 5.11 percent as against 2.99 per cent in

the preceding month.The inflation print for veg-

etables shot up to 15.40 percent during the month from 6.9per cent. Besides, price rise inpulses and meat and fish bas-kets for the reported monthwas higher over August.

However, there was adecline in inflation in the fueland light segment.

The Reserve Bank of India,which has been slashing the keyinterest rate (repo) sinceJanuary 2019, mainly factors in CPI while arriving atits bi-monthly monetary policy.

India Ratings and Research(Fitch Group) PrincipalEconomist Sunil Sinha saidthe central bank will continuewith its accommodative policystance and may go for furtherrate cut in the policy review of

December 2019.However, Emkay Wealth

Management Head ResearchJoseph Thomas said the per-sistence of prices at higherlevels beyond the amelioratinginfluence of the rains mayalone would invite a policy shiftby the RBI to neutrality.

Principal Economist withICRA Aditi Nayar said whilefood inflation did record abroad-based increase inSeptember 2019, the primarydriver of the uptick was veg-etables, a fallout of the flood-ing in various states.

As vegetable prices nor-malise over the next twomonths, particularly with theseasonal arrival of winter sup-plies, food inflation may recedebelow 4 per cent by the end of this quarter, shesaid.

AUS ambassador is expect-ed to tell Congress that his

text message reassuring anoth-er envoy that there was no quidpro quo in their interactionswith Ukraine was based solelyon what President DonaldTrump told him, according toa person familiar with his com-ing testimony in the impeach-ment probe.

Gordon Sondland, Trump’shand-picked ambassador tothe European Union, is amongadministration officials beingsubpoenaed to appear onCapitol Hill this week againstthe wishes of the White House.It's the latest test between thelegislative and executivebranches of government, asthe impeachment inquiry byHouse Democrats deepens.

On Monday, the Housepanels leading the investigationexpect to hear from Fiona Hill,a former top National SecurityCouncil expert on Russia.

Sondland’s appearance, setfor Thursday, comes after acache of text messages from topenvoys provided a vividaccount of their work acting asintermediaries around the timeTrump urged Ukraine’s newpresident, Volodymr Zelenskiy,to start investigations into a

company linked to the familyof a chief Democratic presi-dential rival, Joe Biden.

One witness who may notbe called before Congress is thestill anonymous governmentwhistleblower who touched offthe impeachment inquiry. TopDemocrats say testimony andevidence coming in from otherwitnesses, and even the presi-dent himself, are backing upthe whistleblower’s account ofwhat transpired duringTrump’s July 25 phone callwith Zelenskiy. Lawmakershave grown deeply concernedabout protecting the personfrom Trump’s threats over thematter and may not wish to riskexposing the whistleblower’s

identity.Democratic Rep. Adam

Schiff, chairman of the HouseIntelligence Committee, saidSunday, “We don’t need thewhistleblower, who wasn’t onthe call, to tell us what tookplace during the call. We havethe best evidence of that.”

Schiff said it “may not benecessary” to reveal thewhistleblower’s identity as theHouse gathers evidence. “Ourprimary interest right now ismaking sure that that person isprotected,” he said.

The impeachment inquiryis testing the Constitution’ssystem of checks and balancesas the House presses forwardwith the probe and the White

House dismisses it as “illegiti-mate” without a formal vote ofthe House to open impeach-ment proceedings.

In calling for a vote, theWhite House is trying to pressHouse Democrats who may bepolitically reluctant to put theirnames formally behindimpeachment. But HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,has resisted those efforts and isunlikely to budge as Congressreturns. Democrats sayCongress is well within itspower as the legislative branchto conduct oversight of thepresident and it is Republicans,having grown weary of Trump’sactions, who may be in thegreater political bind over avote. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn.,said Sunday he’d be fine withtaking a formal vote, “but it’snot required.”

“Look, my own opinion isthat we ought to just take thisoff the table because it’s such anon-issue, and there’s no doubtin my mind that of course ifNancy Pelosi does that shewill have the votes and that willpass,” Himes said.

Sondland’s appearancecomes after text messages fromtop ambassadors describedtheir interactions leading up toTrump’s call and the after-math.

Tens of thousands of res-cue workers in Japan bat-

tled on Monday to find sur-vivors of a powerful typhoonthat killed at least 43 people,as fresh rain threatened tohamper efforts.

Typhoon Hagibis crashedinto the country on Saturdaynight, unleashing high windsand torrential rain across 36 ofthe country’s 47 prefectures,and triggering landslides andcatastrophic flooding.

“Even now, many peopleare still unaccounted for in thedisaster-hit area,” PrimeMinister Shinzo Abe told anemergency disaster meetingon Monday.

“Units are trying their bestto search for and rescue them,working day and night,” Abesaid.

But even as rescuers,including troops, combedthrough debris, the country’sweather agency forecast rain incentral and eastern Japan thatit warned could cause furtherflooding and new landslides.

“I would like to ask peopleto stay fully vigilant and con-tinue watching for landslides

and river flooding,” ChiefCabinet Secretary YoshihideSuga told a news conference.

In Nagano, one of theworst-hit regions, rain wasalready falling and was expectto intensify.

“We are concerned aboutthe impact of the latest rain onrescue and recovery efforts,”local official Hiroki Yamaguchitold AFP.

“We will continue opera-tions while watching out forsecondary disasters due to thecurrent rain.”

By late Monday afternoon,national broadcaster NHK saidthe toll had risen to 43 dead,with 16 others missing and over200 people injured. The gov-ernment gave lower figuresbut was continuing to updateits information.

The dead included amunicipal worker whose carwas overcome by floodwatersand at least seven crew from acargo ship that sank in TokyoBay on Saturday night, a coastguard spokesman said.

Four others, from China,Myanmar and Vietnam, wererescued when the boat sankand the coast guard was stillsearching for a last crew mem-

ber.While Hagibis, one of the

most powerful storms to hit theTokyo area in decades, packedwind gusts of up to 216 kilo-metres (134 miles) per hour, itwas the heavy rains that causedmost damage.

A total of 142 rivers flood-ed, mainly in eastern andnorthern Japan, with riverbanks collapsing in two dozenplaces, local media said.

In central Nagano, a leveebreach sent water from theChikuma river gushing intoresidential neighbourhoods,flooding homes up to the sec-ond floor.

As water slowly recededMonday, television footageshowed patients being trans-ferred by ambulance from aNagano hospital where some200 people had been cut off byflooding.

Elsewhere, rescuers usedhelicopters to winch survivorsfrom roofs and balconies, orsteered boats through muddywaters to reach those trapped.

By Monday afternoon,some 75,900 householdsremained without power, with120,000 experiencing wateroutages.

The disaster left tens ofthousands of people in shelters,with many unsure when theywould be able to return home.

“Everything from myhouse was washed away beforemy eyes, I wasn’t sure if it wasa dream or real,” a woman inNagano told NHK.

“I feel lucky I’m still alive.”The storm brought travel

chaos over the holiday week-end, grounding flights andhalting commuter and bullettrain services.

By Monday, most subwaytrains had resumed service,along with many bullet trainlines, and flights had alsorestarted.

The storm also broughthavoc to the sporting world,forcing the delay of JapaneseGrand Prix qualifiers and thecancellation of three RugbyWorld Cup matches.

But a crucial decider pit-ting Japan against Scotlandwent ahead, with the hostsdedicating their stunning 28-21win to the victims of the dis-aster.

“To everyone that’s suffer-ing from the typhoon, thisgame was for you guys,” saidJapan captain Michael Leitch.

India has termed as “bogus”the “Referendum 2020” by a

handful of pro-Khalistan sup-porters, saying they are theagents of Pakistan who havespread false rumours.

Stressing that those sup-porting the idea had “littlesupport” from the community,India’s Ambassador to the USHarsh Vardhan Shringla saidsuch groups were “getting des-perate” and going into “acts ofterrorism”. This is for the firsttime that a top Indian diplomathas come out openly againstthe “Referendum 2020”, pro-moted by separatist Sikhs forthe creation of Khalistan.

“The organisers (of refer-endum) are just a handful ofpeople. The so-calledReferendum 2020 is a bogusissue,” he told reporters after avisit to a Sikh gurdwara inBaltimore.

“They are getting desper-ate, going into acts of terrorismand also militancy. I thinkthey would be a thing of thepast,” Shringla added.

Responding to a question,

Shringla also termed the per-petrators of referendum asagents of Pakistan.

“These are people sup-ported, as we know, by ourneighbouring state who wasconstantly opposed us. Theyare agents of that state. Theyhave spread false rumours andpropaganda,” Shringla said.

Praising Sikhs for playinga role in strengthening theUS-India relationship, theenvoy said, “We will continueto work with the majority of thecommunity and ignore thosewho are a small and dwindlingcommunity.”

Sporting a traditional Sikhturban and dressed in a whitekurta and payjama, the ambas-sador also interacted with themembers of the Sikh commu-nity at the event hosted by theSikh Association of BaltimoreGurdwara and the Sikhs ofAmerica. Asserting that theModi government had takensteps to address grievances ofthe community, Shringla saidthere were no more issues onthe table.

“And whatever they are, the(Indian) government is com-

pletely receptive to workingwith the community,” he said,adding that the IndianEmbassy, along with eminentmembers of the community,was planning to celebrate the550th birth anniversary ofSikhism founder Guru NanakDev on November 12.

“It will be a tremendousevent. We we’ll have the par-ticipation of congressmen,important people from theUnited States. It is a symbol ofnot only the success of the Sikhcommunity but also a supportfor a strong India-US relation-ship,” Shringla said.

Eminent Indian-AmericanSikh leader Jassee Singh alsosaid the proponents of“Referendum 2020” did notrepresent the voice of the com-munity, stressing that theywere just a small group.

“At the end of the day, weare working with the Indiangovernment on several Sikhissues. And we are gettingthings done through talks,” hesaid, adding that a vast major-ity of the Sikh communitythroughout the world was withIndia.

New Zealand will establisha team of investigators

dedicated solely to tacklingonline extremism, as it movesto address failures exposed bythe Christchurch mosquesmassacre, Prime MinisterJacinda Ardern said Monday.

Ardern has led globalefforts to force technologyfirms to clamp down onextremist material since a lonegunman killed 51 Muslim wor-shippers in March, streamingpart of the atrocity onFacebook.

But she said the attack,which targeted two mosques inthe South Island city, alsoshowed her own government

needed to improve resources tocurb the spread of online hate.

“We will have a dedicatedteam focused on targeting anddisrupting violent extremistcontent across our digital chan-nels,” she said.

“This will work in a simi-lar way to how we target childsexual exploitation material,by working with online contenthosts to find and remove harm-ful content.” Ardern said theInternal Affairs departmentwould hire 17 specialists ininvestigative, forensic and intel-ligence work to focus on violentextremist content online.

Within 24 hours of theChristchurch attack, allegedlycarried out by a self-describedwhite supremacist, Facebook

had removed 1.5 million postsof the video streamed by thealleged killer.

Internal Affairs MinisterTracey Martin said responsetimes from authorities neededto be better so objectionablematerial was removed morequickly, denying extremists aplatform.

“The ease and speed withwhich the March 15 terroristattack spread online showed weneed to improve our systems torespond just as swiftly,” shesaid.

Ardern said the latest movecomplements her push to makeglobal tech giants moreaccountable for online extrem-ism and more responsive torequests to remove it, which

she has called the ChristchurchCall.

Companies such asFacebook, Amazon, Google,Twitter and Microsoft have allsigned up to the initiative.

Ardern has also tightenedNew Zealand’s gun laws in thewake of the massacre and setup a judicial review intowhether police and intelligenceservices missed warning signsabout the threat posed by right-wing extremists.

The alleged Christchurchgunman, Brenton Tarrant, haspleaded not guilty to 51 countsof murder, 40 of attemptedmurder, and engaging in a ter-rorist act.

His trial will begin on June2 next year in Christchurch.

Innovative research by AbhijitBanerjee and his wife Esther

Duflo and their extensive fieldstudies in India have not onlyplayed a decisive role in reshap-ing research in developmenteconomics but also helped themto win the 2019 Nobel Prize inEconomic Sciences on Mondayalong with fellow-Americaneconomist Michael Kremer.

According to The RoyalSwedish Academy of Sciences(RSAS), Banerjee, the Indian-American economist at theMassachusetts Institute ofTechnology, Duflo, his French-

American wife, also at the MITand Kermer, the HarvardUniversity economist, have usedinnovative research based onfield experiments to lay the foun-dation for the best way to designmeasures to reduce global pover-ty.

This year’s Laureates haveshown how the problem of glob-al poverty can be tackled bybreaking it down into a numberof smaller — but more precise —questions at individual or grouplevels, the website of RSAS said.

Over just 20 years, thisapproach has completelyreshaped research in the fieldknown as development eco-

nomics. This new research is nowdelivering a steady flow of con-crete results, helping to alleviatethe problems of global poverty, itsaid. “Using innovative researchbased on field experiments,Banerjee, Duflo and Kremerhave laid the foundation foranswering this question that is sovital to humanity,” it said.

There has long been anawareness of the huge differencesin average productivity betweenrich and poor countries.However, as Banerjee and Duflohave noted, productivity differsgreatly, not only between rich andpoor countries but also withinpoor countries, it said.

The Laureates’ very firststudies examined how to dealwith problems relating to edu-cation, the RSAS said.

In their field experiments,more textbooks and free schoolmeals had small effects, while tar-geted help for weak students sig-nificantly improved educationaloutcomes. In contrast to tradi-tional clinical trials, they haveused field experiments in whichthey study how individualsbehave in their everyday envi-ronments.

In the first of these experi-ments, Banerjee, Duflo and oth-ers studied remedial tutoringprogrammes for pupils in two

Indian cities. Schools in Mumbaiand Vadodara were given accessto new teaching assistants whowould support children withspecial needs.

These schools were inge-niously and randomly placed indifferent groups, allowing theresearchers to credibly measure­the effects of teaching assistants.The experiment clearly showedthat help targeting the weakestpupils was an effective measurein the short and medium term,the RSAS said.

These early studies in Kenyaand India were followed by manynew field experiments in othercountries, focusing on important

areas such as health, access tocredit, and the adoption of newtechnology.

“The three Laureates were atthe forefront of this research. Dueto their work, field experimentshave become development econ-omists’ standard method wheninvestigating the effects of mea-sures to alleviate poverty,” it said.

The experiments designedby them have two distinctive fea-tures. First, the participants madeactual decisions in their everydayenvironments, both in the inter-vention group and in the controlgroup. This meant that the resultsof testing a new policy measure,for example, could often be

applied on site.Second, they relied on the

fundamental insight that much ofwhat we want to improve (suchas educational outcomes) reflectsnumerous individual decisions(for example among pupils, par-ents and teachers).

Banerjee, Duflo and Kremernot only tested whether a certainintervention worked (or not), butalso why, the RSAS said.

The Laureates have also beenat the forefront of research on theissue of external validity anddeveloped new methods thatconsider crowding-out effectsand other spillover effects, itsaid. In their research, Banerjee,

Duflo and others showed that tar-geted support for weak pupils hadstrong positive effects, even in themedium term. This study wasthe start of an interactive process,in which new research resultswent hand in hand with increas-ingly large-scale programmes tosupport students. These pro-grammes have now reachedmore than 100,000 Indianschools, the RSAS noted.

They found that studentswho had teachers on short-termcontracts had significantly bettertest results, but that having fewerpupils per permanentlyemployed teacher had no signif-icant effects.

Embattled South Koreanjustice minister Cho Kuk

resigned Monday as a scandalswirled over academic privi-leges allegedly given to hischildren.

Huge crowds have takento the streets recently — bothagainst and in support of theformer law professor — fol-lowing his appointment byliberal President Moon Jae-in.

Cho’s relatives have beenat the centre of probes involv-ing educational privilegesallegedly granted to his chil-dren, and also investments inan equity fund suspected ofdubious operations.

Cho’s wife Chung Kyung-sim, a university professor,has been indicted for alleged-ly forging a college award fortheir daughter, with a trialslated to begin on Friday.

His two children havealso been questioned by pros-ecutors.

Supporters say Cho’s fam-ily has been unfairly targetedby prosecutors because ofhis promise to reform theinvestigative agency.

“I have endured day afterday trying to fulfil my duty toreform the prosecution,” Chosaid in a statement, noting his“heavy heart”.

President Moon acceptedCho’s resignation and said hewas “sorry for division” hisappointment had caused.

But he noted Cho haddutifully carried out his mis-sion during his 35-day stintand stressed the importanceof following up on Cho’sunfinished work.

“His whole-heartedreform drive... has sparkedconsensus on its needs,” hesaid. Education is SouthKorea is intensely competitive

and top schools are fre-quently criticised for elitism— including by Cho, whosaid they create an “unfairsociety”.

He was accused ofhypocrisy when it emerged hehad sent his daughter to anelite institution, and that shehad appeared to have bene-fitted from family connec-tions.

Analysts say the scandalhas laid bare worsening classdivisions in South Korea, theworld’s 11th largest economy.

Cho made a note of thisMonday, saying he was“deeply sorry” for disap-pointing young people.

Iran on Monday released pic-tures showing two gaping holes

in the hull of an oil tanker italleges was attacked off SaudiArabia last week. Tehran says theIranian-flagged Sabiti tanker washit by two separate explosions offthe Red Sea port of Jeddah onFriday.

It is the first Iranian ship tohave been targeted since a spateof attacks on vessels in the Gulfthat Washington blamed onTehran. The images released bythe tanker’s owner, the NationalIranian Tanker Company, aredated Sunday and show twoholes above the waterline on theship’s starboard side.

The attack caused oil to spillfrom the tanker into the Red Sea,the NITC said, before it was even-tually controlled and the vesselbegan slowly moving backtowards Gulf waters. The incidentfollows a series of unexplainedattacks in May and June onshipping in and around the Gulf,a vital waterway linking oil-pro-ducing countries to world mar-kets, as well as drone attacks onSaudi oil installations.

Britain and the EuropeanUnion on Monday enter a

pivotal week that determines ifthey are still on course to reachamicable divorce terms — andwhen Brexit might finallyoccur. Queen Elizabeth II isdue to step into the fray by per-forming her ceremonial duty ofinforming parliament aboutthe government’s agenda forthe coming year.

But the odds of PrimeMinister Boris Johnson’s tenurelasting that long will dependlargely on the outcome of hur-ried discussions held behindclosed doors in Brussels aroundthe same time.

EU leaders will then meeton Thursday and Friday for asummit held under the pres-sures of the October 31 Brexitdeadline just two weeks away.

Diplomats see little hopethat the sides can achieve in afew days what they had failedto in the more than three yearssince Britons first voted toleave the bloc after nearly 50years.

“A lot of work remains tobe done,” EU negotiator MichelBarnier told ambassadorSunday.

Technical talks are contin-uing — variously described as“intense” or “constructive” —but few familiar with theprocess can point to progress

on the decisive issue of BritishNorthern Ireland’s place in theEU customs zone.

Johnson warned his min-isters Sunday to brace for acliff-hanger finish.

The British leader said “apathway to a deal could be seenbut that there is still a signifi-cant amount of work to getthere and we must remain pre-pared to leave on October 31.”

Johnson rose to power inJuly on a promise not to extendBrexit for a third time this year— even if only a few moreweeks are needed to get a dealdone. Breaking that pledgecould come back to haunt himin an early general election thatmost predict for the comingmonths.

Johnson is under parlia-mentary orders to seek anextension until January 31 ofnext year if no deal emerges bySaturday.

He has insisted that hewill both follow the law and getBritain out by October 31 — acontradiction that might endup being settled in court.

Outgoing EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker said Britishpolitics were getting more dif-ficult to decipher than the rid-dle of an “Egyptian sphinx”.

“If the British ask for moretime, which they probably willnot, it would in my view be ahistorical nonsense to refusethem,” Juncker told Austria’s

Kurier newspaper.Something will have to

give when the British parlia-ment holds its first emergencySaturday meeting since the1982 Falklands War.

Johnson could theoretical-ly then try to put up a fight andrefuse to sign off on a Brexitextension request.

His refusal would imme-diately be contested in court.

The EU leaders could com-plicate matters further still bydeciding to offer Britain exten-sion terms that parliamentcannot accept.

But Brussels might want topush Brexit back further intonext year so that it stops inter-fering with all the otherEuropean issues piling up.

A long delay would beuntenable for many euroscep-tics ahead of an early electionthat some expect as early asDecember.

But a short one of a fewmonths might only come onthe condition that it is the last.

The last and seeminglyleast likely outcome would seeparliament vote on an actualagreement reached in Brusselsagainst all odds this week.

Brussels insists that theball is now in Johnson’s court.

“If the British governmentwants a solution, it must movequickly now,” a European diplo-mat told AFP. “The clocking isticking.”

ABrexit deal could be possi-ble as early as this week,

Ireland’s deputy prime minis-ter said Monday, after a week-end of intense talks betweenBritain and the EU.

With time running outbefore a crucial EU summit onThursday, diplomats are warn-ing the two sides are still someway apart on the vital questionof how to manage trade andcustoms on the island ofIreland.

As talks between officialsrestarted in Brussels, Irishdeputy PM and foreign minis-ter Simon Coveney urged cau-tion but said a deal to avoidBritain crashing out withoutdivorce arrangements in placecould be reached.

“A deal is possible and it’spossible this month. It mayeven be possible this week, butwe’re not there yet,” Coveneytold reporters as he arrived fortalks with EU foreign ministersin Luxembourg.

“As (EU negotiator) MichelBarnier said yesterday, there’sstill a lot of work to be done soI hope that we can make moreprogress today.”

“On Brexit the less we saynow the better,” he added,implying that delicate negoti-

ations are taking place that arebetter kept under wraps fornow.

“I think it’s pretty clearwhat we’re trying to do, butthere are pretty detailed tech-nical discussions now and Ithink we need to give the timeand space for that to happen.”

Barnier, the bloc’s chiefBrexit negotiator, briefed EUambassadors late Sunday aftera weekend of talks betweenofficials described as “intense”and “constructive”.

After weeks of gloom thelast few days have given aglimmer of hope that an agree-ment can be reached, but therehas so far been no decisivebreakthrough.

Other European foreignministers were cautious butLuxembourg’s Jean Asselbornsaid he believed a deal was pos-sible.

Asked if a deal could bedone this week, SpanishForeign Minister Josep Borrellsaid: “We hope so. Hope is thelast thing to be lost.”

Barnier will brief a gath-ering of EU ministers inLuxembourg on Tuesday toprepare Thursday andFriday’s summit, held underthe pressure of the October31 Brexit deadline just twoweeks away.

��� ���� �46��3����������������CLondon (AFP): Britain’s government is planninga first post-Brexit budget for November 6, oneweek after it expects the country to have left theEuropean Union, finance minister Sajid Javidannounced Monday. “This will be the first bud-get after leaving the EU,” Chancellor of theExchequer Javid said in a statement.

“I will be setting out our plan to shape theeconomy for the future and triggering the startof our infrastructure revolution. This is the rightand responsible thing to do — we must get on

with governing,” he added. Britain and the EUare currently locked in last-ditch talks to securea divorce deal ahead of a crunch two-day sum-mit for European leaders in Brussels startingThursday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson insiststhat Britain will leave the bloc on October 31as scheduled, even without an agreement.

But British MPs last month passed a lawrequiring him to request a Brexit extension if nodeal has been finalised by the end of the sum-mit.

Syrian regime forces movedtowards the Turkish bor-

der Monday after Damascusreached a deal with belea-guered Kurdish forces fol-lowing a US withdrawalannouncement, AFP corre-spondents reported.

Soldiers waving Syrianflags deployed west of TallTamr, not far from the flash-point border town of Ras al-Ain, which has been a keytarget of Turkish forces andtheir proxies since theylaunched their onslaught sixdays ago.

Tall Tamr is about 30kilometres (18 miles) fromthe border but the SyrianObser vator y for HumanRights said some units inthe area had moved as closeas six kilometres (four miles).

AFP correspondents saidthe government forces weremet by cheering residentsand Syrian state television

aired footage of people wel-coming the soldiers.

According to a newspaperclose to the Damascusregime, Syrian forces werealso expected to deploy in theareas of Manbij and the bor-der town of Kobane, furthereast. On October 9, Turkeylaunched a broad cross-bor-

der offensive on areas thatwere controlled by Kurdishforces it considers to be a ter-rorist organisation.

The move came after apullback of US troops fromthe border area effectivelygave Ankara a green light tolaunch its long-preparedoperation.

Ecuador’s president andindigenous leaders reached

an agreement Sunday to endnearly two weeks of violentprotests against austerity mea-sures put in place to obtain amulti-billion-dollar loan fromthe IMF.

President Lenin Morenomet with Jaime Vargas, thehead of the indigenous umbrel-la grouping CONAIE, for fourhours of talks in the capitalQuito broadcast live on statetelevision.

“With this agreement, themobilizations... across Ecuadorare terminated and we commitourselves to restoring peace inthe country,” said a joint state-ment, adding the governmenthad withdrawn an order thatremoved fuel subsidies.

Rocketing prices afterMoreno cut the subsidies toobtain a $4.2 billion loan fromthe International MonetaryFund sparked 12 days ofdemonstrations that left sevenpeople dead.

The statement was read byan official from the United

Nations, which mediated thetalks along with the CatholicChurch.

“The measures applied inall our territories are lifted,”confirmed Vargas, wearing facepaint and a head wreath offeathers.

Moreno had declared acurfew and placed Quito undermilitary control to quell theunrest.

On Sunday, violent clash-es continued before the talksbegan as police fought to dis-perse protesters who tried toput up a barricade of debrisfrom Saturday’s unrest.

“Native brothers, I havealways treated you with respectand affection,” Moreno said asthe talks opened. “It was nevermy intention to affect the poor-est sectors.”

Protesters had convergedon Quito from around thecountry. Authorities said 1,349people had been injured and1,152 detained in the demon-strations.

The violence forcedMoreno to relocate his gov-ernment to Ecuador’s secondcity, Guayaquil, and hit the oil

industry hard with the energyministry suspending more thantwo-thirds of its distribution ofcrude.

Protesters seized three oilfacilities in the Amazon.

CONAIE had previouslyrejected an offer of dialogue butreversed course Saturday.

UN Secretary GeneralAntonio Guterres earlier calledon all groups “to commit toinclusive and meaningful talks,and to work in good faith

towards a peaceful solution.” Ecuador’s indigenous

groups make up a quarter ofthe country’s 17.3 million peo-ple. Thousands from disad-vantaged communities fromacross the Amazon and theAndes have traveled to Quitoto spearhead demands the sub-sidies be reinstated.

Demonstrators onSaturday ransacked and setfire to the building housing thecomptroller general’s office,

which was shrouded in thicksmoke after being attackedwith fire bombs.

The prosecutor’s office said34 people were arrested.

Protesters on Saturday alsotargeted a television stationand a newspaper.

The Teleamazonas TVchannel interrupted its regularbroadcast to air images of bro-ken windows, a burned vehicleand heavy police presence onthe scene.

The station evacuated 25employees, none of them hurt.

Nearby, protesters builtbarricades in front of theNational Assembly building aspolice fired tear gas at them.

“We have nothing to dowith the events at the comp-troller’s office andTeleamazonas,” said CONAIE.

El Comercio newspaperreported on Twitter that itsoffices were attacked by a“group of unknowns.”Protesters did not immediate-ly heed the curfew that wentinto effect on Saturday, withsecurity forces struggling toimpose order in some parts ofthe city.

Strife-torn Hong Kong issliding towards becoming a

police state, US senator JoshHawley warned Monday, as thefinancial hub braces for a rallycalling on Washington to pun-ish China over sliding free-doms.

The international financehub was battered by anotherweekend of unrest Sunday ashardcore pro-democracy pro-testers and police fought run-ning battles across the city.

Protests pushing for greaterdemocratic freedoms andpolice accountability haveraged for the last 19 weeks andthere is little end in sight asBeijing and local leaders refuseconcessions.

A large crowd is expected

to gather in the heart of thecity’s commercial districtMonday evening calling for USpoliticians to pass a bill thatcould dramatically alterWashington’s relationship withthe trading hub.

The Hong Kong HumanRights and Democracy Act,which could be discussed andvoted on by the House ofRepresentatives as early as thisweek, would require annualreviews of the territory’s specialtrading status — and poten-tially sanction some Chineseofficials.

Monday’s rally is expectedto be large because it is one ofthe few protests in recent weeksto be granted permission to goahead by police.

Among the bill’s sponsorsis Hawley, a Republican sena-

tor for Missouri.He made a quick two-day

trip to Hong Kong and watchedthe protests on Sunday night inthe crowded district ofMongkok, later meeting withprominent democracy activistJoshua Wong. “The situationhere is urgent,” he toldreporters on Monday.

Asked what his messagewould be on returning toWashington he replied: “ThatHong Kong is in danger of slid-ing towards a police state andthat representative governmentin Hong Kong is at risk, andthat the one country two sys-tems model is at risk.” Onecountry, two systems is dealChina agreed to ahead of the1997 handover by Britain inwhich it agreed to allow HongKong to keep its unique free-

doms such as free speech andan independent judiciary for 50years. Democracy activistsinside Hong Kong have longaccused Beijing of chippingaway at those freedoms, a gripethat has fuelled years of grow-ing resentment which explod-ed this summer.

China has accused “exter-nal forces” of fuelling unrest inthe semi-autonomous city andhas seized on supportive com-ments by western politicians toback its claims.

Hawley’s remarks cameafter Chinese President XiJinping issued his most direwarning yet amid the anti-Beijing unrest in Hong Kong.

“Anyone who attempts tosplit any region from China willperish, with their bodiessmashed and bones ground to

powder,” he said during a tripto Nepal.

“Any external forces thatsupport the splitting of Chinacan only be regarded as delu-sional by the Chinese people,”he said, according to the for-eign ministry.

Hawley, at 39 the youngestserving senator and a vocalChina hawk, described Xi’scomments as “violent rhetoric”that illustrated why he believedthe US and its European alliesneeded to take a stronger lineat Beijing’s growing regionalthreat.

Republican China hawkssuch as Marco Rubio and TedCruz have become some of themost vocal supporters of HongKong’s democracy movementon Capitol Hill — although theproposed bill is rapidly gath-

ering bipartisan support, espe-cially in the Senate.

Cruz also made a visit toHong Kong on Saturday duringwhich he accused Beijing oftrying to impose a “dictator-ship” on the city.

He also said Hong Kongleader Carrie Lam cancelled ameeting because he refused topromise to keep the conversa-tion private — although Lam’soffice said she had “other com-mitments”.

During Sunday’s clashesone policeman was slashed inthe neck with a knife whileanother undercover officer wasbeaten. Police said a remote-controlled homemade bombexploded near them inMongkok, the first time such adevice had been used. No-onewas injured.

Pakistan must prevent mili-tant groups from operating

on its soil and prosecute topLashkar-e-Taiba operativesalong with its leader HafizSaeed, the US has said ahead ofthe Financial Action TaskForce’s crucial decision onwhether to blacklist the coun-try. Alice Wells, head of the USstate department’s South andCentral Asian bureau, also wel-comed the arrest of the top fourleaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat-ud-Dawah in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s law enforcementagencies on Thursday arrestedthe “top four leaders” of thebanned LeT/JuD on charges ofterrorism financing.

The top four arrested ter-rorists have been identified asProfessor Zafar Iqbal, Yahya

Aziz, Muhammad Ashraf andAbdul Salam.

“As Prime Minister ImranKhan has said, Pakistan, for itsown future, must prevent mil-itant groups from operating onits soil,” Wells tweeted.

“We welcome news thatPakistan arrested 4 #LeT lead-ers. The victims of LeT’s viciousattacks deserve to see theseindividuals prosecuted now,along with LeT leader HafizSaeed,” she said.

Pakistan has a long histo-ry of catching and releasing ter-rorists operating from its soil.

Wells’ remarks came as theFATF is set to give its decisionon the country’s ‘grey list’ sta-tus.

Pakistan was placed onthe grey list by the Paris-basedwatchdog in June last year andwas given a plan of action to

complete it by October 2019, orface the risk of being placed onthe black list with Iran andNorth Korea.

The ongoing review —from October 12 to 15 — ofPakistan’s performance willdetermine if it stays on the greylist or moved on the black listor given a clean chit.

Wells last month also askedPakistan to prosecute terroristslike Saeed and Masood Azhar,saying the reduction of theIndo-Pak tensions woulddepend on Islamabad’s seri-ousness in taking action againstthose who engage in “cross-border infiltration”.

Tensions between the twocountries have spiked sinceIndia abrogated Article 370 ofthe Constitution to revoke thespecial status of Jammu andKashmir in August.

India’s decision evokedstrong reactions from Pakistan,which downgraded diplomat-ic ties and expelled the Indianambassador.

Pakistan has been trying tointernationalise the Kashmirissue after India withdrew thespecial status of Jammu andKashmir, but New Delhi hasasserted the abrogation ofArticle 370 was its “internalmatter”. The US Departmentof the Treasury has designatedSaeed as a Specially DesignatedGlobal Terrorist. The US, since2012, has been offering a USD10 million reward for infor-mation that brings Saeed to jus-tice. Saeed-led JuD is believedto be the front organisation forthe LeT which is responsiblefor carrying out the 2008Mumbai attacks that killed 166people.

He has a long powder-white hair,tired, blood-flecked eyes, a

full white beard, bushy eyebrowsand wrinkled blue-veined skin.One can notice his unsteady walkand faded smile with two weakteeth and feeble voice as he holds acigarette between his crooked fin-gers and says, “I will just have asmoke and come back.” Meanwhile,I sit there on a rusted bench amidthe trees and chirping birds won-dering what this unusual style ofinterview has in store for me.

Uncle Larry Walsh, a localAboriginal cultural leader, is one ofthe first indigenous storytellers atthe Kathakar Storytelling festival.Inspired by his local communityand Kulin ancestral blood connec-tions, he is one of the only seniorsin Melbourne who focusses on sto-rytelling, ensuring the cultural con-tinuity of his ancient oral traditions.

While performing 60,000-year-old stories honouring the oral tra-ditions of the Kulin NationsDreamtime (South EasternAustralia), Walsh presents themthrough a contemporary lens, illus-trating the timeless quality and rel-evance of these ideas and knowl-edge to modern day life. Throughhis stories he wishes to display thatAboriginal people are connected tothe modern world as intimately asthey are connected to their past.

Talking about the festival, hesays, “I hadn’t seen Indian story-tellers performing before. It wasgreat listening to them. Though Idon’t know Hindi but the voicemodulations, the comic timingand the reaction of the audiencehelped me understand the essenceof the stories. We shared our pup-petry too.” He adds that he was sur-prised by a woman who was tellingstories in Hindi and English as well.As there was no language barrier,everyone in the hall, includinghim, understood her.

Storytelling is an art where thenarration has to be in a way that thelisteners feel connected. Theyshould be able to picturise the inci-dents while being transported to adifferent world altogether. Walshsays, “It is a tough but powerfulmedium of connecting with people.Everyone has stories to tell but noteveryone has the right way or art ofdoing it. For me, it is more abouthaving a rhythm. So, I judge a sto-ryteller on this basis.”

The 65-year old storyteller wasnot allowed to share all the storieshe wanted to. He could only sharethe stories from the areas that he

had permission. He shares that evenin ancient times, nobody wasallowed to openly discussAboriginal tales. “My grandmoth-er narrated some to her children.While doing so, she made sure thatno one noticed this because shewasn’t allowed. Later, my uncle toldme some that he remembered.When I travelled with him to thehilly areas, he told me stories of eacharea that we passed by. This helpedto build a memory bank.”

Every narrator has a reasonwhy they had come into this pro-fession and stayed. Even Walsh hasone. He says, “I loved talking abouthistory and ancient things. So, oneday while I was talking about it, myaunt said, ‘when you share yourviews and knowledge about anysubject, it seems as if you aretelling a story which one wants tohear more’.” He grins, pauses andadds, “I took that comment so seri-ously that even after 25 years, I amstill telling stories.”

Walsh feels that because he wasalways interested in reviving theancient traditions, he was seen assomeone who would take it to thefuture generations. This madeeveryone share stories with him.Along with this, he also helpedcommunities. So when it was any-thing around revival, he was askedto join in.

One can clearly see the lines ofexperience on his forehead. He haswitnessed the technology and dig-ital era taking over the worldbecause of which the content and

storytelling have changed. Andbecause of this, the essence of sto-rytelling is getting diluted. Walshagrees: “Earlier we used to tell sto-ries in many folds. Each had manycontext which were important tothe narration. But that is not thecase now.”

It’s important to revive storiesto keep them alive else the youthwon’t be aware of their rich histo-ry. “We also describe the naturalcalamities that had occurred thou-sands of years ago and their after-math. It is important for people toknow this so that they are alwaysprepared for them. They also needto know what and how their peo-ple have faced disasters,” he says.

Walsh particularly loves work-ing with the younger generation ashe sees them as the torch-bearers ofthe society. But it is important forthe youth to be interested in the oraltraditions. He says, “It gives a senseof pride to them that they know astory which is 20,000 or 60,000 yearold. It also helps them to learnimportant places that are relevantto their history and culture.”

However, the audience wondersabout the relevance of Aboriginetales in India. “Many Indian stories,for instance the one about a magi-cian, were similar to our tales. Evenyour stories describe the forgottenhistory of India. So, this helped usexchange ideas and learn fromeach other. Now, I want to call someIndian storytellers to Australia asthey were so good that they prompt-ed me to exclaim in disbelief,” he

adds.Another storyteller, Ron is a

cultural educator, musician,Didgeridoo maker and a woodsculptor. He is known for perform-ing with Didgeridoo, which ismade out of a hollow, native treecalled Maali. It is one of the oldestmusical instruments in the worldwhich he says dates back to over25,000 years. The instrument, inci-dentally burst into the collectiveIndian consciousness with DilChahta Hai (2001) and its popularduet Jaane Kyun.

He mimics the sound of theKookaburra or the engine of a car.The traditional instrument lends hisstories a lilting touch which, he says,enthralled the crowd. As I ask hima Aborigine tale, he immediatelyruns towards a tree where hisDidgeridoo is lying and returns withit. He then plays the instrument andshares how his people formed cir-cles around rocks and danced withthe instrument.

Ron also performs around thefire. When I ask him about it, hesays, “Fire is a very important sub-ject. For me, it’s related to ghosts andspirits. In ancient times, whenthere were no matchsticks andpeople lived in forests, they rubbedstones to create friction and gener-ate fire. A spark in the fire madepeople believe that the spirit of theforest was listening to the stories.”

A spark of love for storiesfrom ancient times has certainlybeen lit and people will keep coming back for more.

The moon shines brightly. As bright-ly as only a full one can. The air, themonuments and the stones lying

around are laden with stories of people whopassed by them. And the ruins are willingto whisper these in the ears of anyone whois willing to listen. The area is said to berife with Jinns. And then there is the mau-soleum a stone's throw away, built unlikethe one it inspired, by a queen for herbeloved king. Across the road lies AmirKhusrau who wove an intricate and vividweb with his poetry that more than 700years down the line continues to cast itsmesmerising spell. Sunder Nursery, Delhi'’snewest recovered monument, is just theappropriate setting to narrate qissa, kahaniand gapp, says the original rockstar, direc-tor Imtiaz Ali.

Dressed in a black t-shirt embroideredwith the word sheer (sweet) in the Arabicscript, with a grey zipped sweatshirt thatseemed to match his salt and pepper hair,Ali exudes a Sufi-like calmness despitebeing up for a discussion in the next hourat the IXth Kathakar—InternationalStorytellers Festival. Ali is a part of the fes-tival for the second consecutive year andhe came back for a reason. “I was fascinat-ed by the audience participation. The showextended for more than two hours beyondthe designated time. You gain so much con-fidence when you realise that the subtletiesof the work that you’ve done is being spo-ken about by people who you intended itto reach,” he says.

However, it isn’t just the pleasantmemories that tugged him. “From mychildhood I was and still am a people gazer.My biggest interest is to look at people andinteract with them. It gives me the basis forstories. There are dreamers from whom Ican borrow ideas and memories. The inter-actions aren’t one-sided and give me aninsight for survival and growth whileadding a bounce to my stories,” says he.

However, it is a common refrain thatthe art of story-telling is getting lost in thedin of social media and digital devices. Alimakes a point: “Too much of somethingmakes the reverse rise. So if there’s so muchdevice-oriented communication, there’sgoing to be that need of people to speakorally and communicate with each otheras some sort of a therapy in order to relievethe tension and anguish caused by devices.”He looks up at his bodyguard, tells him torelax and asks us to dig into the kebabs thathave been neatly placed in front of us beforeresuming the conversation: “Having some-one to talk to was not a big deal when I wasgrowing up. But now, for a young guy it isa rarity, a luxury. It is easier to find some-one to have sex with but more difficult tofind someone to talk to. Humzuban milna

mushkil hai. (Someone who communicatesand understands at the same level is diffi-cult).” He gestures with his hand and itseems that the sounds emanating from thenearby stage too have paused to let that sinkin.

He points out that oral storytelling wasthe oldest form of the art and even today,it is the most common. “When people nar-rate incidents, that is oral storytelling eventhough the listener doesn’t know if it is factor fiction and doesn’t really care. Evenwhen a husband and wife switch off thelights and talk about the day, that too is sto-rytelling and fulfills a need which a devicecannot. In Bangla, everyday talking iskatha,” says the director whose first filmSocha Na Tha released in 2005.

Through his films, Ali has beenknown to tell stories that are layered butat their heart lies a simple tale which canfind a resonance in everyone. “I am on aquest for a good story but simplicity, notnecessarily. I think in a certain way, I haveseen life in a certain way and, because I amnot a very cinema-literate person, I haveno option but to present it in a certain man-ner. If that becomes simple so be it,” saysAli before asserting that he has to live withhis films forever unlike the audience whomight watch it once, twice or more. “Thismakes it imperative that the story shouldbe engaging, meaningful and, in some way,transcending,” he says and one can’t helpbut nod in agreement, looking back at thejourney of Ved from Tamasha or Geet fromJab We Met.

However, of all of Ali’s films, it isRockstar (2011), the unusual tale of singerJanardhan aka Jordan with its Sufi core,which is often discussed to the bone at fes-tivals and conclaves. The series of coinci-dences that occurred during its making areso surreal that they triggergoosebumps. “Jab We Met(2007), Love Aaj Kal (2009) andSocha Na Tha had tight scriptswith cause and effect. ButRockstar was a loose cannonand things were moving witha certain emotion that had tobe experienced in one scene inorder for the next scene to hap-pen. While shooting the first bitof Naadan Parindey, whereJordan is arrested by the policeat the hospital and he goeswild, all that I had in mind wasthe sound of the drums com-posed by AR Rahman sir. Afriend from Australia sent mepoetry by Rumi which said,‘the hunting falcon hearsthe sound of the drums,come home, come

home. This turning towards what you lovetruly saves you.’ I didn’t understand it onthe day but later it became the premise ofNaadan Parindey. In the realistic realm ofthe world, coincidences do happen,” hesays.

But that was not the end. It seemed thatthe 13th century poet was trying to inserthimself in the film by being omnipresent.“We were nearing the end and anotherquote ‘Out beyond the ideas of wrongdo-ing and rightdoing there is a field and I willmeet you there’, was sent to me by anoth-er friend. It was at this moment that Irealised that whoever this guy Rumi was,he knew more about the film than I did,”he says as the air around us is lulled intoquiet as if paying its respect to the wordsof wisdom spoken long back and in a dis-tant land. This, as we know, became theopening quotation with which Ali startedthe film.

Just like the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, hebelieves that stories have a way of findingtheir tellers. “I didn’t have information orthe knowledge to tell these stories. Storieshave a way of finding me as I am sittingin front of a computer in a surrender mode.The best that I can do is not get in the wayor impose my own ideas upon them,” hesays.

Writing is often considered a lonelyaffair and Ali has written all the films thathe has directed till date. “I don’t enjoy writ-ing. I write the first draft feverishly. But thenthere is rewriting, fine tuning and outsideinfluences like a Rumi quote till it isfinalised. Filming is the next chapter ofwriting when there are hundreds of peo-

ple on the set and issues like per-missions not having comethrough, or fading light and more.

You tell the story in the most con-crete fashion at this time because itis recorded on the camera. It does-n’t matter what you have writtenbefore,” he says.

Ali says that a film usually startswhen a writer imagines a scene or acharacter. “You imagine a girl missinga train and talking rudely to the sta-tion master but this imagination isincomplete,” he says as murmurs ofGeet and Jab We Met go round the audi-ence. “When an actor walks in flesh andblood and says it, that is when itbecomes real. So, the interactionbetween the actor and director is a two-way street to tell the story effectively,”adds Ali.

However, the Jamshedpur boyprefers not to become a character in hisfilms and says, “Sometimes when I ammaking a movie, I start to behave likesome characters subconsciously and Ihave to stop myself because that is notsustainable in the reality of my world.These often predate the film when theysimply existed in my head.”

However, he does admit that he enjoyswhen Jordan peeks out from his persona,“I believe I am not at all like him. He is stu-pid and I am intelligent. He can sing real-ly well like Mohit Chauhan and I can’t singat all. In his stupidity and naivety, there isa truth and lack of cunning. His ignoranceis a path to a higher truth which I admire.When I am like that, I push my boundarieswhich I would have ignored if I was beingmyself,” he says.

Though Ali doesn’t want to be Ved orJai (Saif in Love Aaj Kal) as the latter is soflummoxed by different thoughts that hecan barely complete a sentence, this is is acharacter that he sees often in himself andpeople around him. “I start a sentence andrealise that it’s redundant and jump ontosomething else confusing the hell out ofeverybody,” he says.

However, there is a consistency in hisfilms like the use of journey as a metaphorfor life. “Journeys are important to mebecause they change the perspective. If youare at a new place, you feel new. The thingsyou feel or experience are dramatically newas well. That is entertaining in life as wellas movies,” he says.

Linked to the journey is also the ele-ment of the protagonists being a seeker inhis films. Does Ali relate to the fact that theso-called millennials are more often foundto be engaging in the quest for spirituali-ty than the generations past? “There is somuch invigoration in their brain that theabsence of substance really hits them hard.They feel a little hollow. All of us would,if our lives centered around imaginaryfriends. If we are more device-oriented thanhuman interaction oriented. They feel thesense of abyss and they seek a meaning. Sothey are seekers and drawn to spirituali-ty,” he says nodding sagely.

When a person from the audience asks,the way to tell stories, Ali replies, “If therewas only one answer to how, that wouldhave been the end of pursuit in life. Youare fortunately condemned to a life whereyou will constantly try to find it.”

A Hindu College alumnus, Ali loves toshoot in the capital as the old, the very old,the modern and the uber modern coexist.“It is unbelievable that we are sitting overhere and just close by is Humayun’s tomb,Hazrat Nizamuddin dargah, a flyover, TheOberoi hotel and a metro station. Whenyou see a frame in Delhi, you find variouslayers. I really feel proud that there is thepresence of old heritage and culture along-with the new. This is visually representedin every frame,” he says.

Since it is a storytelling festival, Alidecides to narrate one and asks the audi-ence to huddle up close which theypromptly do. He requests them to switchoff their phones and not record it for thereare a few tales which must remain a secretwithin the hearts of the stones, monumentsand a few mortals that are present.

Though rooted in ancient times,the idea of a tribe has been find-

ing an echo in recent times. Modelsessayed this concept walking downthe levelled-up digital runwaydesigned especially for the grandfinale of FDCI’s Lotus Make-up IndiaFashion Week Spring/Summer 2020.

Designers Anamika Khanna,Rajesh Pratap Singh, WendellRodricks and Manish Arora show-cased their collections in line of ‘MyFashion, My Tribe’.

Khanna opened the show withher collection to a cheering crowd thatincluded actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja,wearing a white sari with a colourfulcut-work border, paired with a multi-colour shrug. Her collection com-prised contemporary clothing likedhoti drapes, dresses and skirts in var-ious colours — black, red, yellow andwhite. She used digital prints, a lot offeathers and patchwork to give herdesigns a cool, relaxed and summerylook.

The second line-up by Singhopened with a live contemporarydance by four dancers whichemerged from each cornerof the runway. His all-white designs had hugepolka dots and stripes inneon yellow, green andpink. Relaxed silhouettesof dresses, pant suits,jackets and body suitswere accessorised withover-the-top headgearsand chunky white shoeswith neon polka dots.

Rodricks’ collectionpaid an ode to the islandtribes and modelssashayed on Wakanda,wearing free-falling sil-houettes of skirts, capes,bralettes, skirts in most-ly white and with a dashof sky blue, silver andgrey. The high-light were eye-catching head-

gears. Models’ faces were paintedwhite giving them a sea goddess look.

Known for his psychedelic colourpalette, Arora showcased the last col-lection. He displayed his love forkitsch motifs with colourful shim-mery dresses, jackets, skirts, gowns,blouses, skirts and trousers made theline-up. The ramp was set ablaze withquirky prints in multi colour, big bowson collars and waist of the outfits,accessories on the wrist, models withhigh pencil pony tails,exaggerated eyelash-es and shiny high-heels with big bows. Itended on a high note

with actorKangana

Ranaut taking to the ramp. Theactor decided not to don anydesigner’s outfit as it was difficultto select one. “My stylist told me

to go with something simple andhere I am wearing a white shirt and

black tulle skirt, accessorised withmultiple silver kundan neck-

laces,” she said and added thatfashion is a way of life for her.

“To enhance yourself is nota favour that you do to theworld. Today, fashionweeks have set such highstandards that we havemodels from all walks of

life — from acid attack survivors,transgenders to people who are notzero size. Fashion is for everyone,” theactor said.

Her minimalistic make-up andcentre-parted hair neatly tied at theback complemented the perfect look.

Spinners helped India pull off athrilling six-run win over South

Africa in a low-scoring third women’sODI and complete a 3-0 series white-wash here on Monday.

India were able to defend a mod-est 146 by bowling out South Africafor 140 in 48 overs.

Spinners Ekta Bisht (3/32 in 10overs), Deepti Sharma (2/24 in 10)and Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/22 in10) were the architect of the win thatreaffirmed India’s supremacy overSouth Africa, who also lost the pre-ceding six-game T20 series.

It seemed South Africa would gettheir first win of the series when theybundled out India in 45.5 overs butanother disappointing batting perfor-mance denied them the opportunity.

India made a disastrous startafter winning the toss, losing openersPriya Punia and Jemimah Rodrguesin the second over.

With the hosts reeling at 55 forfive, T20 skipper Harmanpreet Singhsteadied the innings with a 76-ball 38with the other valuable contributioncoming from Shikha Pandey (35 off40).

Most of the batters, includingcaptain Mithali Raj (11 off 46), failed

to shift gears after getting settled,resulting in India posting a below-partotal.

In the end, even that proved to beenough against South Africa whowere on course for a comfortable winat 103 for five in the 30th over.

However, India fought backthrough their spinners and even parttimers Harmanpreet and Rodrguesdid their bit.

Rodrigues took the final wicket ofthe game to spark celebrations. It wasalso her first scalp in internationalcricket.

The International Cricket Councilon Monday tweaked the super

over rule for all its major events fol-lowing the uproar over the outcomeof the men’s World Cup final in Julywhen England were declared winnersagainst New Zealand on boundarycount.

New Zealand and England hadheaded into the super over after scoresin the World Cup final were tied at

241. Once the super over also endedin a tie with both teams making 15,the winner was decided on accountof superior boundary count.

Following that nerve-wrackingfinal, the ICC faced the wrath of fansand former players over the contro-versial rule.

Now it has finally made changesto the rule and in case a situation arisewhere both teams are tied even afterthe super over in a final or semifinal,the super over will be repeated until

there is a clear winner.“Following on from a recommen-

dation from the ICC CricketCommittee, the Chief Executives’Committee agreed that use of theSuper Over as a way to decide resultsat ICC events will be retained. Boththe Cricket Committee and CECagreed it was an exciting and engag-ing conclusion to the game and willremain in place covering all games atboth ODI and T20I World Cups,” theICC said after its board meeting here.

Coco Gauff hailed RogerFederer for his words of wis-

dom as the 15-year-old USprodigy on Sunday became theyoungest champion on theWTA Tour since 2004.

Gauff defeated 2017 RolandGarros winner Jelena Ostapenko6-3, 1-6, 6-2 in the Linz final forher maiden title.

The teenager is managed byFederer's Team8 and even sharesan Italian pasta sponsor with the20-time major winner.

On Sunday, she revealedthat a pep-talk by the Swisssuperstar, after she suffered aheartbreaking defeat in the firstround of the 2018 AustralianOpen junior event, has helpedher on a path which this yearsaw her reach the last 16 atWimbledon and US Open thirdround.

"He did give me someadvice at the Australian Open in2018 when I lost in the firstround (after being amongst thefavourites)," Gauff recalled.

"He told me not to focus toomuch on the pressure or the out-side drama. He gave me someperspective.

"Now, I try to enjoy the ten-nis and I barely think of that fist-round loss two years later."

Gauff, meanwhile, con-firmed she is "100 percent"ready to play at this week'sLuxembourg WTA event whereshe will enjoy a career-highranking inside the top 70.

She started the week inLinz at 110 in the world and wasoriginally set for an early depar-ture from Austria after losing in

the qualifying rounds beforegrabbing a lifeline as a luckyloser.

"For sure, I'm 100 percentplaying in Luxembourg," saidGauff whose rise has been mete-oric — at the end of 2018, shewas 686 in the world.

"I'm excited, it will be mylast event for the year. I'm play-ing doubles there also (with reg-ular partner Caty McNally).

"This is the opportunity tosee how I perform at back-to-back tournaments."

Gauff 's career timetable hassuddenly shifted into overdrive,with her breakthrough WTAtrophy coming much morequickly than might have beenexpected.

"My goal was the top 100and to get into the main draw ofat least one Grand Slam," saidthe player, who has now earneda main draw spot for January'sAustralian Open.

"I've accomplished all ofthose goals this year, now I needto work on improving my game.

"I've gone through whatwas supposed to be my timelinefor the next two years. It's beencrazy."

"I didn't expect to be on theTour in general right now," the2018 French Open junior cham-pion said.

Gauff, coached by herfather, said she expects to startgaining confidence as she getsmore accustomed to the WTAcircuit. "I'm new to the Tour andI've not faced a lot of the play-ers. I'm sure the more matchesI play the more confident I'll get,along with the more experienceI'll have."

Former Australia cricketer andChennai Super Kings all-rounder

Shane Watson on Monday said it is upto the legendary Mahendra SinghDhoni to take a call on his retirementthough “he is still playing incrediblywell”.

“He has still got the skill. But it isdown to him to decide. He still movesincredibly well, runs hard between thewickets and has beautiful hands.Whatever he does, it will be the rightthing because he knows what liesahead,” Watson told reporters.

The burly Aussie all-rounder alsopraised Virat Kohli’s captaincy and saidhe has done a great job with the Indianteam.

“He (Kohli) has done a great job

with the Indian team. He has beenplaying so well in all formats. Whateverhe is doing right now is certainly work-ing and the team is responding to hisleadership,” he added.

Asked if India could dominate inthe manner done by Australian sidesof the past led by Steve Waugh andRicky Ponting, he said “it is going tobe hard to replicate..But there is no rea-son why India can’t do it.”

“There is no doubt that India hasgot the depth in all facets... Batting,bowling and fielding. The depth inIndian cricket is incredibly strong. Ithas got the luxury of having someonelike a Rohit Sharma opening the bat-ting and scoring lots of runs. The depthin Indian cricket is incredible... I amsure this team can win away fromhome as well.”

Lewis Hamilton said he is inno hurry to win a sixth

world championship after thetitle battle was reduced to a two-horse Mercedes race at theJapanese Grand Prix.

The Formula One circusmoves on to Mexico in twoweeks’ time where Hamilton,enjoying a 64-point lead overValtteri Bottas, can wrap up athird consecutive drivers’ crownif he outscores his teammate by14 points or more.

More likely is that the bat-tle will be concluded at thesubsequent race at the GrandPrix of the Americas in Austin,Texas.

Bottas’ victory at Suzukaand Hamilton’s third placeclinched a sixth consecutiveconstructors’ championship forMercedes and left the Finn asthe only driver who can catchHamilton over the final fourraces of the campaign.

“I think for me it’s neverbeen a case of always wanting torush things,” Hamilton toldreporters adding that he expect-ed a tough battle from his team-mate over the final few races.

“Valtteri’s driven well allyear long, he’s done a great jobtoday and he will most likely doa very, very solid job these nextraces, so we still have a battle,the fight continues,” he added.

Kings XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia

on Monday said thefranchise decided not totrade RavichandranAshwin with the DelhiCapitals following a“rethink” by the Board.

It has been learntthat the newly-appointed head coachAnil Kumble was alsokeen to retain Ashwin,who captained the sidein the previous two edi-tions.

“The (KXIP) Boardhad a rethink and itrealised that Ashwin isan integral part of theteam. There were discus-

sions with Delhi Capitalsbut those discussionsnever came to fruition.

The way he playshis cricket and his per-

formances speak forhim,” Wadia said.

Under Ashwin’sleadership, KXIPshowed a lot of promisein the first half of thepast two seasons beforelosing momentum in thesecond half. They fin-ished seventh in 2018and sixth in 2019.

K X I Preached thesemifinals

before making theplay-offs just once in

2014 when they finishedrunners-up. Now withKumble on board, thefranchise is aiming toend its title drought.

With the city set to host thesenior national men’s team after agap of nine years, the euphoriaaround the match has beenimmense with a mad rush for tick-ets as the Saltlake Stadium is setto witness a packed house, givingthe Igor Stimac-coached side aperfect stage to grab three pointsand keep their World Cup hopesalive.

The absence of defender,Sandesh Jhingan due to an ACLtear on his left knee is a big blowto the hosts. But the return of tal-ismanic captain Sunil Chhetriafter missing the last game will liftthe team’s spirit.

In his last appearance, Chhetriscored his 72nd internationalgoal, the second most amongactive players, as India put up adominating first-half display onlyto go down 1-2 after concedinglate goals in their World Cup qual-ifier against Oman in Guwahati.

Goalkeeper Gurpreet SinghSandhu took the charge inChhetri’s absence and thwarted abarrage of attacks from Qatar,making 11 saves in a heroic dis-play to snatch a point from the2022 World Cup hosts.

While defence, tactical forma-tion and discipline were the high-lights of their match against Qatar,the focus against Bangladesh, whoare ranked 83 places below India,would be on the strikers.

Chhetri will remain the go-toman in the attacking zone, but theonus will also be on the likes ofBalwant Singh and Manvir Singhto make an impact.

The skipper will also have the

support of his Bengaluru FCteammates Udanta Singh andAshique Kuruniyan, whileMandar Rao Desai and SahalAbdul Samad will be key in cre-ating chances.

As for the back line, Stimacwill be forced to rejig his central-defence with Anas Edathodikalikely to pair up with Adil Khanin front of Sandhu.

Jhingan’s injury gives Anaswith a perfect opportunity to provehimself again, especially afterreturning from retirement.

India failed to keep up theintensity in the final minutesbecause of fitness concerns againstOman but Stimac addressed theissue against Qatar. And it will beinteresting to see how the BlueTigers cope up with the challengeagainst Bangladesh, who have eightunder-23 players in their squad.

Bangladesh head to the matchafter two consecutive defeats. Theylost narrowly to Afghanistan andin their last match before goingdown 0-2 to Qatar. But the JamieDay-coached side has put up astrong fight and created manychances in the two games.

The Englishman may haveconceded that India are firmfavourites but Bangladesh will

certainly look to make an impactwith their forward duo of NabibNewaz Ziban and Saad Uddin.

On paper, India enjoy a com-manding 15-2 head-to-headrecord in 28 meetings butBangladesh have managed to stayunbeaten in their last two fixtures(1-1 in SAFF Championships,2013 and 2-2 in an Internationalfriendly, 2014).

They were forced to be patient by the vis-itors, who could qualify through theplayoffs after winning their NationsLeague group if they fail to do soautomatically.

But Przemyslaw Frankowskiprodded home less than 60 secondsafter coming on as a substitute in the74th minute, before Akardiusz Milikmade the points safe.

������������ ����Croatia were made to wait to qualify, as

Gareth Bale’s strike in first-half injury timeproved enough to grab a 1-1 draw for Walesin Cardiff.

Nikola Vlasic fired a low ninth-minuteshot in off the post to put Croatia on coursefor qualification, before Bale’s fine goalsecured Wales a point in a bad-tempered affair.

Last year’s World Cup runners-up Croatiawill qualify if they avoid defeat againstSlovakia in their final match on November 16,while Euro 2016 semi-finalists Wales couldjoin them with two closing wins, as long asSlovakia do not beat the Croatians.

Indian SuperLeague (ISL) will

replace the I-League as the top-tier competition inthe country afterthe stakeholdersagreed to a propos-al of the AsianF o o t b a l lC o n f e d e r a t i o n(AFC), ending the long-drawn and con-tentious restructuring process.

In a meeting at the AFC headquar-ters in Kuala Lumpur, the I-League andISL clubs agreed on a roadmap present-ed by the AFC on domestic football struc-ture reforms in India.

As per the roadmap, the ISL will bethe top league in the country from thisseason itself while I-League will contin-ue as second tier league.

The ISL, which begins in Kochi onOctober 20, will not have promotion andrelegation till 2023-24 by which time theLeague would have completed 10 seasons.

From the 2024-25 season onwards,performance-based promotion and rel-egation will be implemented and therewill not be two parallel leagues.

The ISL champions would now beentitled to a play-off place in the AFCChampions League, the top-tier clubcompetition in Asia, while I-Leaguechampions would compete in the secondtier AFC Cup “as a special compensationto India”.

Another key recommendation by theAFC is to open a pathway for two I-League clubs’ entry into the ISL by theend of the 2020-21 season, subject to thelicensing criteria being fulfilled.

There has been speculation for sometime that Mohun Bagan and East Bengalmay join the ISL but no agreement couldbe reached as the two Kolkata giantswanted a waiver of the �15 crore partic-ipation fee.

The AFC statement is not clear on theparticipation fee issue but AIFF GeneralSecretary Kushal Das said the two clubswill have to pay the fee.

“Whichever two clubs (open forinclusion in the ISL) will have to pay theparticipation fee. This is also accordingto FIFA recommendation,” Das said.

In addition to this, the AFC propos-al said starting with the 2022-23 season,the winner of I-League will stand achance to be promoted to the ISL withno participation fee, subject to fulfillingsporting merit and the national clublicensing criteria to be set out by the AIFF.

“Everyone has to put the good ofIndian football at the forefront and takethe best decisions to develop Indian clubfootball. The AFC will be very muchinvolved to ensure the growth of the gameto the next level with the pathway to a sin-gle league,” AFC General Secretary ‘Dato’Windsor John said.

Former I-League champions MinervaPunjab owner Ranjit Bajaj, who had ear-lier vociferously opposed the AIFF’smove to grant ISL the top league status,said he is happy that main concerns of theI-League clubs have been addressed.

“Four clubs are being promoted (toISL) by four years and then promotionand relegation (in ISL) will start. I con-sider this as a victory even at the cost oflosing the AFC Champions League spot,”he said.

Pawan Sehrawat did the star turn asdefending champions Bengaluru

Bulls outwitted UP Yoddha 48-45 in thefirst eliminator to qualify for the semi-finals of the Pro Kabaddi League seasonseven here on Monday.

Star raider Pawan secured 20 raidpoints as the Bulls fought their way backin front of a packed audience at the EKAArena to set up a semifinal clash withDabang Delhi.

The UP side dominated the earlyminutes of a fiercely-contested first-halfas Bengaluru struggled to get a strangle-hold.

UP had the advantage of momen-tum, with 23 All-Out in their last 11matches (the best record in the league),and inflicted an All-Out on the Bulls inthe 8th minute to open up a 7-point lead.

Nitesh produced stellar tackle in thefirst move after the All-Out to sendPawan once again to the dugout but theBulls finally had success in the defencewith a successful tackle on Surender Gillwith seven minutes remaining.

The tackle brought Pawan back onthe mat and the High Flyer produced astunning 3-point Super Raid to halt UP’sdominance in the match.

Nitesh did produce a Super Tackleon Pawan with four minutes left to halftime but the Bulls, buoyed by Rohit’spresence on the mat, secured their firstAll-Out with a minute remaining for thebreak. The half ended 20-17 with UP ontop.

Bulls dominated the starting min-utes of the second half with MahenderSingh coming good in the defence.

With the defence scoring points theBulls sniffer an All-Out and reduced theUP side to two on the mat.

But in Nitesh, UP had, arguably, theleague’s best defender, and the captainproduced two Super Tackles (in the 10thand 11th minute of the half) on Pawan

to keep his team in the match and pickup a High 5.

Bulls’ Sumit and UP’s Shrikantimpressed with their raids as the matchentered the final four minutes with UPleading by 8 points.

Pawan produced some importantraids to clinch an All-Out with fourpoints remaining. Bengaluru had a onepoint lead going into the final play ofthe match but Surender made success-ful raid to level the points and push thepoint to extra time.

UP started the extra time on a highwith a two-point raid by RishankDevadiga that also sent Pawan to thebench but Sumit’s raiding and a teamtackle on UP’s Shrikant meant at thehalf time in extra time there was onlyone point separating the sides.

Pawan produced a stunning4-point raid to give the defend-ing champions a three pointlead but Monu Goyat imme-diately produced a 2-pointraid to make it a one point.

But Pawan clinchedan All-Out and thatwas enough to seethe defending cham-pions through to thesemi-finals.

Expectations are always highfrom India’s record goalscor-

er Sunil Chhetri but ahead ofBangladesh game, the skippersaid others players in the side arevery much capable of outperform-ing him.

Having sat out of Qatar game,Chhetri will return to take chargeof the team but he played downhis presence in the side.

“It was never about me, it willbe never about me. It’s alwaysabout India versus Bangladesh.I’m just one of the 23 players. Idefinitely have been lucky to havea little bit more experience andthat’s about it. There’s no depen-dency on me from my teammates. We are one and we aregoing to play like one,” Chhetrisaid on the eve of group E fixture.

The Jamie Day-coachedBangladesh have made it clear thatIndia will start as favourites withChhetri being the main threat.

“I hope four people markme. So me and four from theopposition are out and we areplaying 10 versus six. I will be veryhappy then we will come to knowabout someone like Udanta(Singh), Ashique (Kuruniyan),

(Abdul) Sahal, Manvir orBalwant.”

“I will try to be as best that Ican be. But if they want to mark,

then it’s good because we havebetter players who are in bettershape than me. You will see themtomorrow,” the 35-year-old said.
