India will face consequences if they boycott Pakistan clash, says Chetan Chauhan

Chauhan is, however, adamant that India should launch protest one way or another but work according to what the government decides. "Had it been in Pakistan, I would have readily said not to play or had it been in India, I would have said do not call Pakistan in the wake of attack on our soldiers. But the tournament will be hosted in England and World Cup is something which is decided eight or ten years in advance," he said. Forty CRPF personnel were killed in the terror attack on their convoy on Srinagar-Jammu national highway on February 14. Soon after the attack, Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack and said that it was carried out by its suicide bomber. When asked what action should be taken against Masood Azhar, founder and leader of Jaish-e-Mohammed, Chauhan said India is upset, angry and the environment within and outside the nation is heated. "Indians who are living in different countries are as well protesting through March. Now when the case will be proposed at the UN, China, one of the countries which has veto power, will not be able to use the veto that easily. All countries must come together and at the UN, Masood Azhar should be declared a terrorist and case should be registered against him," Chauhan said. The much-awaited World Cup is slated to take place from May 30 to July 14 in England. India and Pakistan are scheduled to meet on June 16 at the Old Trafford in Manchester.

Disneyland California the most vegan-friendly themed park

Ruse Of Gender Justice It was seen as an act to appease the conservative Muslim and against the empowerment of Muslim women. Be that as it may, what critics of the 1986 Act must in all humility realise now is how this law actually impacted women over the last three decades. The 1986 Act actually defines the rights of a Muslim woman on divorce. Section 3 says that she will be entitled to a fair and reasonable amount for maintenance. She will also be entitled to the property she receives from her relatives and the relatives of her husband. If her husband fails to pay her, she can claim her maintenance from the people who stand to inherit from her, if they fail, she can claim maintenance from her family and if they fail as well, she can claim maintenance from the state's wakf board. The most empowering provision is that she must be paid within the iddat period — three months. Danial Latifi, Shah Bano's lawyer, amongst others, challenged the 1986 Act in the SC as unconstitutional. In 2001, Court upheld the Act and went on to state that it captured the spirit of the 1985 judgment. The 2001 verdict further clarified that she will get her settlement for her entire life as a lump sum within the iddat period. Lawyer and activist Flavia Agnes has noted that this law has given Muslim women maintenance to the extent of making men in the community unhappy. Courts have been flooded with appeals by husbands challenging orders of maintenance under the Act. Compare the Rs 179 received by Shah Bano to the women who got lakhs under the 1986 Act. In 2017, the SC deemed instant triple talaq to be void in the Shayara Bano case. The government's ordinance, however, criminalises it and the justification is it will deter Muslim men. No where does the judgment mention a need for criminalisation. The ordinance assumes that it will invoke fear in the husband's mind. But is there anything that stops him from deserting her? Anyone who has dealt with matrimonial litigation or faced matrimonial disharmony will vouch for the fact that it is economic disempowerment that puts a woman in an unequal position. The government could have levied a fine for practising instant triple talaq. There is no law that can force a married couple to stay married, all that lawmakers can do is codify the rights and liabilities of the parties on separation. The ordinance keeps the couple married and gives the woman nothing but a right to prosecute her husband. In comparison to the fair and reasonable amount sanctioned by the 1986 Act, the triple talaq bill said she must be given a subsistence allowance — the ordinance does not define this. The Act of 1986 struck a balance between the rights of a community and of its women. Those who today applaud Narendra Modi's ordinance as a tool of empowerment of Muslim women must not forget the context. With general elections a month away, the prime minister desperately needs to appear inclusive to please the neutral voter, who feels letdown by incidents of cow vigilantism, mob lynching and the assassination of liberal writers. Shayara Bano has the advantage of nullifying her talaq, so the woman remains legally married to her husband (who she did not want to return to). But she has no financial support. The ordinance empowers her to file a criminal case with no real relief and makes things more acrimonious. Maybe that's why under all other personal laws, the remedy for desertion lies in the restitution of conjugal rights which gives the couple the time to reconcile, not criminalisation. Therefore, I see no justification for criminalising triple talaq.

Art house to mainstream: It's an all-time high for India at the Berlinale

Immediately, I offered to buy us both tickets for a show, if he would come and occasionally translate the Hindi for me.' International release dates were discussed with Bhansali, the selection committee saw the film, and it was selected for the Berlin Film Festival, in 2000. This anecdote tells us much about the quirky ways in which films sometimes make it to festivals. This year, the 69th Berlin International Film Festival runs from February 7 to 17. There is an all-time high of 12 Indian and South Asian films selected. Each festival selection paves the way for distribution internationally and especially in India, helping filmmakers find audiences. Expectations are high for Rima Das's Bulbul Can Sing, especially after Village Rockstars was picked as India's Oscar entry. But she says simply, 'I just want to enjoy the festival.' (Meenakshi Shedde) India makes an estimated 5,000 films a year, including 2,000 feature films. Twenty-one years ago, when I began working with the Berlinale, films like Mani Ratnam's Dil Se (1998) and Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam were programmed in the International Forum of New Cinema section. It was puzzling to see these very mainstream films slotted in the most experimental section at the festival. It was because Germans were trying to understand, what is this vibrant Indian cinema, this market where Hollywood is small change. Since then, Bollywood films have moved up the programming chain. This year, Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy and Ritesh Batra's Photograph (though not quite Bollywood, but using Bollywood stars and shot in Mumbai) both have high-profile Berlinale Special Gala screenings at the spectacular Friedrichstadt Palast, that seats nearly 1,900. It is Shah Rukh Khan's films that were among the first Indian ones to open at the Friedrichstadt Palast. Berlin is one of the very few cities in the world where 99% of the audience for an SRK film is blonde, and NRIs are in a negligible minority. I once asked the actor for his thoughts on why Europeans loved him so much. INDIA @BERLINALE, 2019 This is an exceptionally good year for us, as India and South Asia have 12 films at the Berlinale in 2019. These include… Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, based on the life of street rappers Divine and Naezy, which will have its world premiere here. Udita Bhargava's Dust, about a man chasing his lost love, who ends up following a left-wing uprising in India. Ritesh Batra's Photograph, about a street photographer who persuades a girl he's shot to pose as his fiancee. Bulbul Can Sing by Rima Das, a coming-of-age Assamese story about three teenagers who experience love and loss. Prantik Basu's Rang Mahal, which explores the myth of creation, as the Santhalis see it. 'In the West you have a button for everything,' he said. 'You press a button for the elevator, a button to make orange juice... I think I am their button to cry.' SRK films at the Berlinale are always screened in either the massive Friedrichstadt Palast or the Kino International, both in former East Berlin, because these are the only theatres large enough to hold his massive fan following. In fact, German filmmaker Uli Gaulke once told me, after watching My Name is Khan at the Berlinale, 'This film is an important handshake between India and the West.' He saw it as an important film, fighting global Islamophobia through a popular medium like Bollywood, fronted by a big Bollywood star. We're now in a bit of a full-circle moment. From art-house cinema to the glitz of mainstream, this year's selection includes Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, that is based on the real-life story of street rappers Divine and Naezy from Dharavi and stars some of Bollywood's biggest young names (Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt); it will premiere at Friedrichstadt Palast. Ritesh Batra's Photograph, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sanya Malhotra, the story of a photographer who takes a photograph of a girl and then persuades her to pretend to be his fiancée to satisfy his grandmother who is pressurising him to marry. Rima Das, whose Bulbul Can Sing, a coming-of-age story set in Assam, where innocent teenagers on a walk in the woods are harassed, leading to bittersweet consequences. Although expectations are high after her Village Rockstars, which was India's Oscar entry, she says simply, 'I just want to enjoy the festival.' In Berlinale Shorts is Prantik Basu's Rang Mahal (Palace of Colours), a 27-minute short film in Santhali. 'It is based on one of the myths of creation among the Santhal tribals,' Basu says. 'They believe two swans laid an egg under a tree, and humans came from that egg. Although I'm dealing with the grand subject of creation, I'd say I aspire to grandeur through minimalism.' Here's to a continuing strong presence of Indian and South Asian films at Berlin, and yes, a film in competition before long.

Stonehenge quarried 5,000 years ago

'What's really exciting about these discoveries is that they take us a step closer to unlocking Stonehenge's greatest mystery — why its stones came from so far away,' said Mike Parker Pearson, a professor at University College London in the UK. 'Every other Neolithic monument in Europe was built of megaliths brought from no more than 16 km away,' Parker Pearson said. 'We're now looking to find out just what was so special about the Preseli hills 5,000 years ago, and whether there were any important stone circles here, built before the bluestones were moved to Stonehenge,' Parker Pearson said. The largest quarry was found almost 290 km away from Stonehenge on the outcrop of Carn Goedog, on the north slope of the Preseli hills. 'This was the dominant source of Stonehenge's spotted dolerite, so-called because it has white spots in the igneous blue rock. At least five of Stonehenge's bluestones, and probably more, came from Carn Goedog,' said Richard Bevins, a geologist at National Museum of Wales. In the valley below Carn Goedog, another outcrop at Craig Rhos-y-felin was identified by researchers as the source of one of the types of rhyolite — another type of igneous rock — found at Stonehenge.

No way US can crush Huawei, says founder Ren Zhengfei

Park your problems away! This two-year-old startup has been able to provide 360-degree solutions to all parking-related issues and has started venturing out into cities such as Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode as well. "Although we have been able to provide service to our customers such as Kochi Metro Rail, Wonderla, Seematti in the past two years, we are planning to extend the service to other cities too. We are currently working on model stabilisation in other cities making parking facility more accessible," said Amith Sasi, CEO and one of the founders of Pinpark. Pinpark's parking management suite is made available as SaaS application which can be leveraged on anyone who runs parking. This system also provides them with the complete tracking of vehicles coming in and going out of the parking lot and reduce the cost of paperwork in parking management. The drivers can easily find out the parking space according to their requirements. The hybrid smart parking platform accumulates parking data with their multiple data collection points such as cameras and sensors. The solution provides a unified view of real-time parking demand and helps in parking guidance. The artificial intelligence and machine learning dashboard are helpful for institutional customers. The company is working towards seamless parking where there won't be any people standing to collect money and no receipts will be given as the car enters the parking area. Only a camera will be placed which will enable automatic number plate recognition. All parking spaces will have e-receipts. "We have refined the models so that everything is digitised and time is saved," said Amith. The startup has entered an agreement with individual landowners to provide land for parking purposes and the profit is shared with the landowners. They have also had discussions with the Corporation and are looking for other government organisations to implement structured parking. Institutions who have limited and no parking space can avail their services.

Fear of Shiv Sainiks drove CCI to cover Imran-specific mural he Shiv Sainiks did, indeed, come knocking - shortly after 5.00 pm last Friday, the day after the suicide bombing in Pulwama which eventually took the lives of 40 CRPF personnel.Disturbing questions have been doing the rounds at the CCI ever since: Who tipped off the Shiv Sainiks? Was it a member or an employee? Or, possibly, both?"Five Shiv Sainiks turned up and asked if any portrait of Imran had been put up at the CCI. Only one was allowed in and shown the mural which had the Pakistan Prime Minister covered..."Apparently, the sequence of events has been narrated in a strictly confidential email from the CEO (Air Commodore N.K. Jha) to the 14 members of the current Executive Committee," a well-placed source told The Telegraph on Monday evening.The mural, by the way, also honours other iconic all-rounders: Sir Garry Sobers, Sir Ian Botham, Kapil Dev and Jacques Kallis. There's no visual of Sir Richard Hadlee, but a section of the restaurant's wall has been dedicated to him. Incidentally, the mural has been around "for at least five years." Another well-placed source, who too didn't wish to be identified, said: "The Shiv Sainiks don't listen to reason, they straightaway resort to tod phod. Nobody wants vandalism..."From what I know, the CEO has informed the CCI's Executive Committee that Imran's mural simply had to be covered once the Pakistan-based JeM accepted responsibility for Pulwama..."We all know how the JeM is flourishing. That factor and anticipating trouble from the Shiv Sainiks, a white cloth was put over Imran's mural and his photographs kept away from the public eye..."It's always better to be safe than sorry."According to yet another well-placed source, in Mumbai, Imran's mural had also been "covered" during the 2018 AGM, in September, five-six weeks after Imran was sworn-in as Prime Minister.Why then?"The official reason was repairs, but nobody got convinced. That decision had everything to do with a handful of members wanting Imran's mural to be pulled down," the well-placed source revealed.An Executive Committee meeting has been called, largely on the Imran issue, on February 28. Indications are that a majority of its 14 members could vote for Imran to be erased from the CCI.But would that, in any way, make any difference at all?There may soon come a point in time when India-Pakistan relations improve and Imran is still in the seat of power.

Manhole-cleaning robot Bandicoot struggles to find foot here, in demand elsewhere

They had bought one in January last year, but any more," said Genrobotics co-founder Rashid K. In Kerala, the KWA has undertaken sewage cleaning."The KWA had told us it would proceed and buy the remaining robots after three months. Later, the issue got delayed due to the floods in August," said Rashid.Worsening matters for Genrobotics was the change at the helm of KWA and water resources ministry. Change of officers affects Bandicoot's plans "After A Shainamol and Mathew T Thomas were removed as the KWA MD and water resources minister respectively, we had to start the talks all over again," Rashid said, adding the company faces a similar situation in other states too when the IAS officer, who is leading the talks to have the Bandicoot robot, is suddenly shifted to some other department. In Kerala, Genrobotics is asked to implement a project model. "The aim is to eliminate manual scavenging by 2020. We're implementing a step-by-step model here. The project in Kerala is implemented through KWA as it's controlling the sewage and sanitation works in all the municipalities and corporations, " Rashid explained. Meanwhile, Genrobotics, which received funding from the Kerala Startup Mission, Unicorn India Ventures and Google India MD Rajan Anandan, is getting a steady flow of orders to implement Bandicoot in other parts of the country, and even outside India. "We've installed 10 robots in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana towards the end of this month," said Rashid, pointing out that manholes are more in other states compared to Kerala. "Recently we met the Delhi Government's social justice minister. They also want to do away with manual scavenging by 2019. There'll be another meeting with the Delhi Chief Minister soon," he said. At the Kinfra facility in Thiruvananthapuram, Genrobotics has started its own production lab, where it could manufacture 10 Bandicoot robots per month.Outside India, Genrobotics is in talks with Dubai and Sharjah municipalities to implement robotic scavenging.

Drug combo may help treat advanced kidney cancer

While progression-free survival was improved with the combination treatment, additional follow-up is needed to show whether the two-drug therapy extends overall survival compared to the standard regimen. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, to combine avelumab with a drug that targets the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). VEGFR blockers like sunitinib and axitinib are designed to starve tumors by disrupting their blood supply. Immunotherapy drugs such as avelumab -- which blocks an immune checkpoint called PD-L1 -- work by activating "exhausted" immune T cells so they can more effectively attack cancer cells. The clinical trial involved 886 patients with previously untreated, advanced renal cell carcinoma who were randomised to receive the drug combination or sunitinib alone. The results from this study showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) -- the length of time before the cancer began to worsen -- was 13.8 months in the combination group and 7.2 months in patients receiving only sunitinib. These results specifically applied to patients whose cancer cells tested positive for the PD-L1 checkpoint that is blocked by avelumab. The PFS for the overall population (PD-L1 positive or negative) was similar -- 13.8 months versus 8.4 months. The proportion of patients whose tumors shrank was 55.2 per cent with avelumab plus axitinib and 25.5 per cent with sunitinib in the patients who were positive for PD-L1. "Interestingly, the analysis showed that all subgroups -- good, intermediate, and poor-risk patient -- benefited from the combination treatment," said Choueiri. Nearly all patients in both treatment groups experienced some side effects. In the combination treatment group, 38.2 per cent of patients experienced immune-related adverse events, the most frequent being thyroid disorders, observed in 107 patients.

Imagine: Let's stand up for our children, build emotionally safe spaces

Like insignificant objects with no feelings or original thought. This was at the mild end of the spectrum as at the other end were children being beaten up, sexually abused, left starving, not sent to school, put on the streets to beg or hired as labour. As a nation, we do not know how to take care of our children. Whether it is child sexual abuse, number of children on the streets, child labour, child illiteracy, youth suicides, female infanticide, our numbers are scary and utterly shameful. To give you a perspective, a student commits suicide every hour, a child is sexually abused every 15 minutes and there are 18 million street children in our country (equivalent to Delhi's population). These numbers speak for themselves. The first step towards addressing this problem is by building emotionally safe spaces for children. This has been the core thread in all my books, my talks and the top manifesto of our organisation, Children First. But maybe it does need a little unpacking and demystification as only when we understand the significance of it can we learn to practice it. What? It might be a good idea to first highlight the damaging practices that make children feel emotionally unsafe. It could range from emotional abuse like criticism, comparison, blaming, humiliating, shaming, to physical and sexual abuse. Or it could be just plain negligence where children are ignored or looked through, like children with disability, street children or girls who are seen as a burden in some families. These are the invisible children, the ghost children that we want to banish away. I use an acronym for the present day caste-system that decides the worthiness or unworthiness of the child - DISGRACEFULL! Disability, Intelligence, Sexuality, Gender, Race, Age, Culture, Economics, Family Background, whether they have Useful Contacts (I was told once that you are nothing without your contacts), Looks (the desired 'fair and lovely' look) and what Language they speak. We assess the value of each child through the DISGRACEFULL lens. Why? Once I saw a mother slap the little boy she had hired to 'play' with her son in the park. When I walked up to her and tried to intervene, she shouted at me and told me to, 'Mind your business! Yeh log aisse hi samajhte hein (these people only understand this language).' We see children every day whose dignity is shattered by the teachers in school when they are called 'duffer', 'failure', 'stupid', just because they do not measure up to the socially prescribed yardstick of being a 'good child'. Even if we keep the issue of child rights aside, think of the impact of these emotional wounds on children. How can we expect children to learn and grow when they are feeling so vulnerable and under attack? We know through robust research in neuroscience that emotional safety is a prerequisite to learning. Think of a difficult time in your childhood when you were struggling emotionally. I am sure you will also remember how numb and muddled your mind felt. Where? Everywhere. Homes, schools, neighbourhoods, public transports, markets, malls, courts, hospitals, streets. Let's take the example of our hospitals. A lot of children carry trauma from the time of their early visits to hospitals, possibly from birth itself. Where they are pushed, prodded, pricked, injected and handled with such little care and sensitivity. I once witnessed a pediatrician, shouting at a little boy after an injection (this time I really had to restrain myself from marching up to him). 'Bilkul rona nahi! (No crying) Be a brave boy!' while the little one tried to gulp down his tears. This seemingly innocuous interaction which many of us would have witnessed has seeds of trauma (and gender stereotyping) for life. Many countries across the world are using 'clown care' where they use trained clowns to bring in 'doses' of joy and play into medical care. What a great idea to build emotional safety in hospitals. Who? That mother in the park might have asked me to mind my own business but I believe emotional safety of children is very much our business. We need a hashtag campaign (nothing works without a hashtag nowadays) on the lines of #speakupforourchildren. Stand up to the silence and speak up for the children as they do not have the voice to say much. And all of us need to be part of it - parents, teachers, doctors, organisations or professionals who work with children. As the clichéd but powerful phrase goes, 'If not now, then when? If not you, then who?' How? Nearly 40 per cent of India's population is below the age of 18, which at 400 million comprises the world's largest child population. I met a 15-year-old recently who had been repeatedly raped by an uncle, and when she did muster courage to tell her parents, she was immediately shushed. She went one step further and tried to tell her teacher but it turned into gossip in the staffroom and rumours spread in the school of her being a 'slut'. This brave girl was let down by all the adults in her life and had completely lost faith in any organisation or the courts providing her any justice. I am in no way laying the blame on some parents, teachers, paediatricians or insensitive people 'out there'. We are all part of this society which is feeding this culture of child abuse in some form. After all, children can be very easy and convenient receptacles for our daily stresses and frustrations. They are silent, helpless and will never turn around and question the abuse. And that is why building emotionally safe spaces is a call to arms for each one of us. It is not rocket science and no formal degree is required. Respect the dignity of every child, give them a safe environment to grow and accept and nurture their uniqueness. Keep them safe, listen to them, become alert and stand up for them despite all the awkwardness or inconvenience. This is not a sentiment, attitude or a world view, but a practice. A deliberate, daily practice, where we commit to building emotionally safe spaces for them. No matter what. Dailyhunthttps://jprsworld.dreamwidth.org/profile

Ruse Of Gender Justice

It was seen as an act to appease the conservative Muslim and against the empowerment of Muslim women. Be that as it may, what critics of the 1986 Act must in all humility realise now is how this law actually impacted women over the last three decades. The 1986 Act actually defines the rights of a Muslim woman on divorce. Section 3 says that she will be entitled to a fair and reasonable amount for maintenance. She will also be entitled to the property she receives from her relatives and the relatives of her husband. If her husband fails to pay her, she can claim her maintenance from the people who stand to inherit from her, if they fail, she can claim maintenance from her family and if they fail as well, she can claim maintenance from the state's wakf board. The most empowering provision is that she must be paid within the iddat period — three months. Danial Latifi, Shah Bano's lawyer, amongst others, challenged the 1986 Act in the SC as unconstitutional. In 2001, Court upheld the Act and went on to state that it captured the spirit of the 1985 judgment. The 2001 verdict further clarified that she will get her settlement for her entire life as a lump sum within the iddat period. Lawyer and activist Flavia Agnes has noted that this law has given Muslim women maintenance to the extent of making men in the community unhappy. Courts have been flooded with appeals by husbands challenging orders of maintenance under the Act. Compare the Rs 179 received by Shah Bano to the women who got lakhs under the 1986 Act. In 2017, the SC deemed instant triple talaq to be void in the Shayara Bano case. The government's ordinance, however, criminalises it and the justification is it will deter Muslim men. No where does the judgment mention a need for criminalisation. The ordinance assumes that it will invoke fear in the husband's mind. But is there anything that stops him from deserting her? Anyone who has dealt with matrimonial litigation or faced matrimonial disharmony will vouch for the fact that it is economic disempowerment that puts a woman in an unequal position. The government could have levied a fine for practising instant triple talaq. There is no law that can force a married couple to stay married, all that lawmakers can do is codify the rights and liabilities of the parties on separation. The ordinance keeps the couple married and gives the woman nothing but a right to prosecute her husband. In comparison to the fair and reasonable amount sanctioned by the 1986 Act, the triple talaq bill said she must be given a subsistence allowance — the ordinance does not define this. The Act of 1986 struck a balance between the rights of a community and of its women. Those who today applaud Narendra Modi's ordinance as a tool of empowerment of Muslim women must not forget the context. With general elections a month away, the prime minister desperately needs to appear inclusive to please the neutral voter, who feels letdown by incidents of cow vigilantism, mob lynching and the assassination of liberal writers. Shayara Bano has the advantage of nullifying her talaq, so the woman remains legally married to her husband (who she did not want to return to). But she has no financial support. The ordinance empowers her to file a criminal case with no real relief and makes things more acrimonious. Maybe that's why under all other personal laws, the remedy for desertion lies in the restitution of conjugal rights which gives the couple the time to reconcile, not criminalisation. Therefore, I see no justification for criminalising triple talaq. The writer is a Congress Lok Sabha MP Dailyhunthttps://noisetrade.com/fan/jprsworld

Kriti on #MeToo allegations against Sajid, Nana: Didn't want it to affect Housefull 4

Sajid stepped down from the project following multiple sexual misconduct accusations against him. He was replaced by writer Farhad Samji as the director. Nana, too, distanced himself from the comedy after being accused of harassment by actor Tanushree Dutta. He was replaced by actor Rana Daggubati. 'It was weird to be on set with all that going on. Someone else directing us suddenly in the middle of the film. But I give it to producer Sajid Nadiadwala sir, he took certain decisions and handled it very well. We didn't stop shooting for more than two days,' Kriti told PTI. The actor says the team, including actors Akshay Kumar, Kriti Kharbanda, Bobby Deol, Riteish Deshmukh and Pooja Hegde, were focused on the film. 'We finished our schedule a day before we were supposed to finish. That way, we all just wanted to make the film in a good manner and make sure all of this doesn't affect the final product. A film once made is out forever. We were together in it.' The Bareilly Ki Barfi star says some of the highlight sequences of the film were shot post the #MeToo allegations and was handled very well. 'We shot some major sequences including the interval and the climax after that. These sequences are usually crazy because the entire star cast is together. Our producer took the call of spending that extra money, to reshoot scenes, with no fault of his,' she added. Kriti Sanon will be next seen in Luka Chuppi co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar and written by Rohan Shankar, is scheduled to release on March 1. Dailyhunthttps://forum.statcounter.com/members/jprsworld.102329/#about

England post record chase to beat West Indies in series opener

Fresh from a hundred in the lone warm-up match at the weekend, Roy was at his most ruthless against the hosts who missed key fast bowler Kemar Roach. The 'man of the series' with 18 wickets as the West Indies surprised England 2-1 to reclaim the Wisden Trophy in the preceding Test duel, Roach has been ruled out of the entire ODI series due to early signs of what could develop into a stress fracture of the lower back. Roy set the pace in racing to a hundred off just 65 balls -- the fastest-ever in ODIs in the Caribbean -- and dominated an opening stand of 91 with Jonny Bairstow. He maintained the charge through a 114-run second-wicket partnership with Root and by the time he fell in the 27th over to leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, England were well on course. Root, the Test captain who finally came good with a hundred in the last innings of the three-match series in St Lucia just over a week earlier, also got to three figures against the University of the West Indies Vice-Chancellor's XI last Sunday and tapped into that rich vein of form once more. He put on 116 for the third wicket in 16 overs with Eoin Morgan and although the ODI skipper departed to fast bowler Oshane Thomas with victory in sight, there would be no serious alarms for England on the way to victory, although Root fell with the scores level attempting the winning hit off West Indies captain Jason Holder. "I was particularly happy with the calm way we went about all aspects of this match," Morgan said. "Our bowlers did very well at the end of the West Indies innings when it looked as if they would get up to 380, and when we batted, you really can't look past that start we got. It made the job so much easier." Gayle delights home crowd Earlier, Gayle lit up the Kensington Oval with another display of power-hitting. Playing his first ODI since the home series against Bangladesh last July and having announced that the upcoming World Cup will be his international farewell in the format, the big-hitting left-hander signalled his intentions for a lengthy grand finale with an innings of 135 off 129 balls with 12 sixes and three fours. His tally of maximums dominated an innings in which 23 sixes were struck, a new record for an ODI innings. Despite conceding 34 runs off his final two overs, leg-spinner Rashid played an important role together with Stokes in limiting the West Indies progress over the final 15 overs. Stokes returned the best figures of three for 37, including the important wicket of Gayle in the 47th over, dragging a full-length delivery onto his stumps. Rashid claimed three for 74, making important breakthroughs at the other end when the West Indies needed to press on the accelerator. England paid dearly for Roy dropping Gayle at point off seamer Liam Plunkett when the former West Indies captain was on just nine. "We made life very difficult for ourselves, and especially our bowlers, by missing too many chances," said Holder. "You can't give quality players so many opportunities and expect to be competing at the end." Dailyhunthttp://www.joyfort.com/space-uid-8005276.html

Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy Fold launch tonight: What to expect and how to watch live

There is one major device Samsung might launch, too at its Unpacked 2019 event and it is none other than a foldable phone. Dubbed the Galaxy Fold, Samsung's first foldable phone will have a larger 7.3-inch display and run three apps at once. Samsung Galaxy S10 Launch LIVE Updates The event is going to start in less than five hours. Here's everything we expect to see at Samsung's February 20 event Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2019: How to watch live, timings for India If you're keen to watch all the announcements as they happen, you can check out the livestream on Samsung's official website. The company has created a dedicated Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event page, which will go live at 11am PST on February 20. If you're in India, the event starts at 12:30 am IST on February 21. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2019: Galaxy S10, S10+and S10e The biggest product to watch at Samsung's Unpacked 2019 event is the Galaxy S10. As many as four variants of the Galaxy S10 will be announced, including a regular model, S10+, S10e and a 5G-ready model. Out of four variants, the Galaxy S10e will be the most affordable device with a 5.8-inch AMOLED display. The S10, meanwhile, is expected to have a 6.1-inch AMOLED display. The S10+, on the other hand, is said to sport a 6.4-inch AMOLED display. All three models of the Galaxy S10 will have an Infinity O display, which essentially offers a circular cut-out on the display for the front-facing camera (dual front-facing cameras, in case of the Galaxy S10+). Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820 will power the phones and the S10 and S10+ will also get an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Though the cheaper Galaxy S10e will get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. var embedId = {jw:[],yt:[],dm:[]};function pauseVideos(vid){var players=Object.keys(embedId); players.forEach(function (key){var ids=embedId[key]; switch (key){case "jw": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){var player = jwplayer(id); if(player.getState() === "playing"){player.pause();}}}); break; case "yt": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){id.pauseVideo();}}); break;case "dm": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid && !id.paused){id.pause();}}); break;}});}var ytOnLoadFn=[];function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady(){ytOnLoadFn.forEach(function(name){window[name]();});}function onYTEmbedLoad(ytp){embedId.yt.push(ytp);ytp.addEventListener("onStateChange", function(event){if(event.data === YT.PlayerState.PLAYING)pauseVideos(ytp);});}function pause(){pauseVideos()}function ytn8F_8BNhZPU(){var p = new YT.Player("div_n8F-8BNhZPU", {height: document.body.offsetWidth * (9/16),width: document.body.offsetWidth,videoId: "n8F-8BNhZPU"}); onYTEmbedLoad(p)} ytOnLoadFn.push("ytn8F_8BNhZPU"); Both the S10 and S10+ will get triple cameras sensors at the back, while the S10e will get dual rear-cameras. The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will be standard across the S10 and S10+, while the base variant of the S10e will have 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Notably, Samsung Galaxy S10+ is also getting a pricey variant, featuring 12GB RAM and 1TB storage. One major feature present that will be present across the S10 trio will be the ability to wirelessly charge other devices. If you recall, Huawei Mate 20 Pro became the world's first smartphone with the reverse wireless charging feature. Interestingly, the S10 lineup will also include a 3.5mm headphone jack. The future of mobile will unfold on February 20, 2019. #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/MHvwrt7Rf4 — Samsung Mobile (@SamsungMobile) February 11, 2019 Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event: Galaxy Fold The second big product to watch out is the Galaxy Fold, a foldable phone. The hype is certainly there - after all, the Galaxy Fold will be the first foldable phone from the mainstream smartphone manufacturer. Samsung's foldable phone has been in the works for a while now. Then in November last year, the South Korean major finally teased a prototype foldable phone with a flexible screen. Rumours indicate we may get to see the Galaxy Fold at the Galaxy S10 event later tonight. It is possible that Samsung will share more details about the specifications, its availability and how much it will cost to end consumers. A recent teaser video posted by Samsung on Twitter confirmed the foldable phone's appearance at the Unpacked 2019 event. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event: Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Buds Other reports reveal Samsung may announce the Galaxy Watch Active, an upcoming smartwatch geared at runners and fitness junkies. We've also heard the unveiling of Galaxy Buds, a truly wireless pair of earbuds, at Wednesday's event. The highlight of Galaxy Buds is the inclusion of wireless charging feature which makes it easier to charge.

Import from Pakistan through Attari takes a nosedive

New Delhi had also revoked the most favoured nation (MNF) status it had given to its neighbour in 1996. 'On Tuesday, only five trucks laden with dried date, which is free from customs duty, reached the ICP from Pakistan. No goods that come under the duty hike have been imported by Indian traders since Monday,' said LPAI Attari manager Sukhdev Singh. 'Earlier, 150-200 trucks had been importing items such as gypsum, cement, glass, dried fruits, dried dates, plaster of paris (POP), caustic soda etc through the ICP. Now, only 5-10 trucks are coming with dried dates, which are exempted from customs duty,' Singh said. 'On Monday, 10 trucks laden with dried dates reached the ICP from Pakistan while the count dipped to 5 only on Tuesday,' he added. An official at the ICP, seeking anonymity, said, 'If the tension between India and Pakistan continues, the ICP would soon be abandoned. The livelihood of hundreds of workers, including porters, will be affected,' he said. Export trade remains steady However, the export trade remains steady even after the Pulwama attack. LPAI officials say four to five trucks of plastic granules and yarn are being exported to Pakistan daily, which is the normal daily traffic from India to the neghbouring country . Meanwhile, Rajdeep Uppal, senior representative, Confederation of International Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CICCI), said all trade organisations of India which import goods via Attari ICP stand united behind the Indian government. 'Though we are suffering losses, we want justice for the families of those killed in Pulwama attack,' he added. The Attari ICP is 30 km from Amritsar on the India-Pakistan border, almost midway between the holy city and Lahore. It is spread over a total area of 118 acres in April 2012.

"Vociferously violent reactions from the media and several others to my echoing of a suggestion from a retired army colonel. A purely non-violent reaction to the killing of our soldiers by the hundreds, and the driving out of 3.5 lakh Kashmiri Pandits," Roy said in the tweet. The BJP leader-turned-governor also referred to the Pakistan army "who are handling the Kashmiri separatists" and its role in "East Pakistan", mentioning war crimes like slaughter and rape.The governor has always been in the news. When social activist Agnes Kharshiing and her aide Amita Sangma were brutally attacked in coal-rich East Jaiñtia Hills district of Meghalaya on November 8 last year, Roy said he went to the hospital to meet the two social activists who were attacked by coal mafia and wished them speedy recovery.

Rock art at Gandikota astounds historians

'We identified the exclusive rock paintings of white pigments during a study on the hill top of Gandikota fort. It was a sudden and unexpected identification of white pigments in different structures,' Mr Suresh, historian and also advocate from Proddatur said. Rock Art Society of India members Katta Srinivas Khammam and Bhaskar K. Kanigeri along with Mr Suresh carried out the study at Gandikota fort. The fort is spread over 8 kms at Erramala Hills on the North side and the valley appears like a protection wall for the fort. Amateur archaeologists had identified the Mesolithic period rock paintings at Gandikota fort in Kadapa district three years ago. Ramakrishna Reddy and Lakshmi Kanta Reddy were on a visit to the fort when they discovered the paintings. They found the paintings on the rocky surface at Peddakona, also known as Dongalakona, located next to Farah Bagh area on the way from the Anantapadmanabha temple of the fort to the gorge of the river Penna. The paintings with representative geometrical designs are seen on a big boulder executed in red ochre. The lines painted in the shape of rectangles, triangles and circles denote abstract forms of some animals. The Cultural Centre of Vijayawada had inspected the site and confirmed that the rock paintings belong to the Mesolithic period datable to 10,000-8000. The paintings executed on a big rock (5.0 mts x 2.00 mts) and vary in size from 1.5 mts to 2.00 mts in length and 0.50 mts to 6.5 mts in height in outline and rendering is done with a single thick brush stroke. 'We observed that a large number of paintings show the death penalty during the period. The entire process was seen through the paintings' Mr Suresh briefed. ...

Social media can help boost well-being post-disaster

"While social media provides a great platform to have a conversation with a community, a lot of the time it can fall flat or feel preachy," said Ekant Veer, associate professor at University of Canterbury at New Zealand. "What 'All Right?' has shown is that by getting the tone right, tapping into people's everyday experiences, and alternating between engaging and specialised content, social media can be a force for good," said Veer. Almost all respondents agreed that the Facebook posts were helpful and gave respondents ideas of things they can do to help themselves. "The Facebook page goes far beyond simply telling people what's good for them. It's led to actual behaviour change that is improving the wellbeing of people in Canterbury," said Veer. The research demonstrates the importance of mental health promotion, the team said. Dailyhunthttps://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/member.php?u=4482874

Jews in Mumbai find new ways to keep religious traditions alive

As their numbers decline, the Baghdadis and Bene Israeli, the other major Jewish group living in the city, struggle to maintain their religious properties. Recently, the community wrote to Nagpur's municipal commissioner after their graveyard in the Jerry Patka locality was occupied by bamboo traders. There are no more Jews left in Nagpur to care for the cemetery. Encroachers have also tried to occupy Jewish cemeteries in Alibaug and Revdanda in Raigad district. In 2016, Maharashtra recognised Jews as a religious minority, but since the Indian census does not identify them as a distinct group, there is no data on their population. They have been enumerated as Christians by census workers who are ignorant of the existence of such a group in India. The Bene Israeli, with origins in the villages of Raigad, where they settled after fleeing the Middle East, are estimated to number around 3,500, forming more than 90% of India's Jews. Around 1,500 live in Thane, but in Raigad, where there were once 30 synagogues, now there are only 300 Jews. Ezra Moses, a member of the Thane community, said that only eight of the Raigad synagogues - in Pen, Revdanda, Alibaug, Nandgaon, among others - continue to hold religious services. The other shrines have been converted into public libraries and schools. 'When there were no Jews to maintain these synagogues we handed them over to the local community for public use. Our only condition was that the new users retain the sanctity of the place,' said Moses. In south Mumbai, the dwindling number of synagogues means the community finds it difficult to summon the minyan — a quorum of 10 male members required to conduct prayers. They depend on Jewish visitors from abroad to meet the quorum. 'In Raigad, members have formed a 'minyan group' that takes turns to visit different synagogues on religious holidays to provide the quorum for prayers. 'They visit one synagogue every Sabbath [Saturday] to ensure that religious services are not discontinued for lack of a minyan,' said Moses. Despite the decline in numbers - a few families leave India every year - there are now signs of community renewal. In 2010, Baghdadis repaired the 160-year-old Magen David Synagogue in Byculla. Ten years ago, the Thane community renovated and expanded their main shrine, the Shaar Hashamaim, or Gate of Heaven synagogue. For a community that is dwindling, there has been a shortage of burial space. Recently, Thane's municipal corporation agreed to give them 2,000 square metres of land for a new cemetery after the community lost a 500-year-old burial ground to a road project. 'Getting the status of a religious minority is helping us to manage our religious properties,' said Moses. Is India's Jewish heritage destined to become a tourist attraction? Solomon Sopher, president of the Baghdadi Jewish community in Mumbai, said, 'As far as the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue is concerned, all religious services are conducted. We have visitors from Israel, Canada and other places who help us make a minyan during the weekly services. 'We may be dwindling from India, but as far as we are concerned, we want to preserve the heritage that we have left behind. Visitors from abroad have said the synagogue (the Keneseth Eliyahoo) is one of the most beautiful they have seen.' Dailyhunthttps://www.avitop.com/cs/members/seereeddee.aspx

Behavioural changes in kids? They may need a psychiatrist

The symptoms of mental illness among children are very different from adults for the same clinical conditions. The frequent mental health conditions observed in child and adolescent population are anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders etc." Doctors said that many times, Google search on the symptoms ends up confusing and worrying the parents further, instead of proving to be of any help. Some of the red flags to identify mental health illness are frequent mood disturbances, like anger outbursts over trivial issues, temper tantrums, poor social engagement, not exhibiting interest in any play, difficulty in concentration, presenting as deterioration in academic performance compared to the past and frequent absenteeism from school or college. Dr Vinod Kumar, Psychiatrist and Head at Mpower-The Centre Bangalore, said, "Common presentations we see among children and adolescents are behavioural issues which in our experience is usually rooted in the level of stress children face today, both at school and at home. This is due to unrealistic expectations from both parents and teachers mainly and the general culture of increased competitiveness. To top it all, when we see children in our Centre, their schedules are packed with academic and extra-curricular activities leaving no room for leisure/free time." The parents usually fail to identify the symptoms or would directly confront the children for behavioural changes, said Dr Babu. "Sometimes, children exhibit signs of distress through their interaction on virtual platforms by penning their thoughts of anxiety, fear, suicidal and relationship complications through their posts. It is important that parents engage with their children, actively listen to the problems, instil confidence by being non-judgmental, and finally seek professional help when required," he said. Experts also highlighted that along with parents, it's also crucial for children to be adequately aware of their mental condition, so that they can identify and not ignore the symptoms. Also, they should not overstretch the little nervous incidents and convert them into serious problems instead of strongly overcoming them. ... Dailyhunthttp://www.feedbooks.com/user/4990359/profile

NASA's Opportunity rover completes 15 years on Mars

"We are doing everything in our power to communicate with Opportunity, but as time goes on, the probability of a successful contact with the rover continues to diminish," he said. Opportunity's last communication with Earth was received on June 10, 2018, as a planet-wide dust storm blanketed the solar-powered rover's location on the western rim of Perseverance Valley, eventually blocking out so much sunlight that the rover could no longer charge its batteries. Although the storm eventually abated and the skies over Perseverance cleared, the rover has not communicated with Earth since then, according to NASA. However, Opportunity's mission continues, in a phase where mission engineers at JPL are sending commands to as well as listening for signals from the rover. If engineers hear from the rover, they could attempt a recovery, the US space agency said. Opportunity and its twin rover, Spirit, launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2003. Spirit landed on Mars in 2004, and its mission ended in 2011. Dailyhunthttps://www.fanfiction.net/u/12044291/

Fiascos and fumbles: Oscar organizers stumble to restore glory

Five days later, the plan was scrapped. It's been a tough 12 months for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it battles to restore its annual Oscars show to a must-see event after the U.S. television audience slumped to an all-time low last year. 'This year, the bigger question than who will win at the Oscars is what the heck is going on at the academy?' said Tim Gray, awards editor at Hollywood trade publication Variety. The nominees for this year's Oscars. (Twitter) 'There have been a slew of bungles,' Gray added. 'I feel they are flailing around and acting out of desperation.' Under pressure from the ABC television network to trim and liven up the ceremony, the academy has seen many of its efforts backfire. Bungles include a retreat in September over a proposed new 'popular film' category, the withdrawal in December of Oscars host Kevin Hart because of past homophobic tweets, and an accusation in January by the U.S. actors union that the academy was pressuring celebrities not to appear or present at award ceremonies other than the Oscars. Kevin Hart was asked to apologise for his old homophobic tweets. (REUTERS) The Oscars is the last in a long Hollywood season that sees award shows and celebrity-packed red carpets every week over two months. 'The academy is caught between its role as a venerable institution that confers honors for the ages on film and the demands of the hurly-burly of social media, the 24/7 news cycle and the demands of the ratings,' said Sharon Waxman, founder and editor in chief of Hollywood website The Wrap. People really care The academy did not return a request for comment for this story, but said in a letter to members last week that show producers 'have given great consideration to both Oscar tradition and our broad global audience.' ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke told reporters earlier this month she believed that the publicity around the Kevin Hart withdrawal showed the Oscars was still relevant. In the history of CINEMA, masterpieces have existed without sound, without color, without a story, without actors and without music. No one single film has ever existed without CINEMAtography and without editing.— Alfonso Cuaron (@alfonsocuaron) February 12, 2019 Reposting, revised: I would not presume to suggest what categories should occur during commercials on Oscars night, but, please: Cinematography & Editing are at the very heart of our craft. They are not inherited from a theatrical or literary tradition: they are cinema itself.— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) February 13, 2019 'I, ironically, have found that the lack of clarity around the Oscars has kept the Oscars really in the conversation, and that the mystery has really been compelling,' Burke said. 'People really care.' The missteps have all but drowned out initial kudos over this year's diverse Oscar nominations list, which range from art house films like Roma to superhero blockbuster Black Panther and crowd-pleasing musicals Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born. Awards watchers say the Academy's efforts to deliver a compelling show for viewers next week still risk falling flat. 'The Academy is dealing yet again with what appears to be a leading film that is a very small film, in Spanish, and in black and white, that has not been seen by that many people,' Waxman said, referring to best picture front-runner 'Roma.' Recent best-picture winners include small art-house films The Shape of Water last year and Moonlight in 2017. 'That is the more fundamental problem the Academy is facing with this telecast,' Waxman added. Variety's Gray said that, for the movie industry, the Oscars ceremony is always an enjoyable family get-together. 'The Oscars should also be fun for the viewing audience,' he said.

WhatsApp will soon sort Status updates from contacts based on relevance

According to Mashable, WhatsApp is testing a new feature where the upcoming status feature is going to sort the updates based on whom the user interacts the most. Whatsapp is already testing out this feature with a few iPhone users in India, Spain and Brazil. Once, the test run is successful the instant messaging platform plans on rolling this feature out to Android and Windows user. This new algorithmic sorting will be determined through a variety factor like whose statuses you view frequently, whom you message frequently etc that WhatsApp will retain this information, collect it and send it out of WhatsApp's servers. Your preferences will be saved as a part of backups. Algorithm-based sorting or changes have never been Facebook's forte. Facebook has been often criticised for trying to change sorting preferences, whether it be on Facebook or Instagram. So, it will be interesting to watch how Whatsapp users react to the upcoming changes. Apart from algorithm-driven Status listing, WhatsApp is also going to bring advertisements to the section. The feature, however, may not be rolled out immediately. '…So WhatsApp, we don't have ads in Stories. It's not available. Ads are something that's more of a future thing for WhatsApp. We remain very focused on the consumer experience there. We do have the WhatsApp Business app, which is helping businesses connect with consumers, and that's growing well but that monetisation opportunity is not available,' Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said last month. var embedId = {jw:[],yt:[],dm:[]};function pauseVideos(vid){var players=Object.keys(embedId); players.forEach(function (key){var ids=embedId[key]; switch (key){case "jw": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){var player = jwplayer(id); if(player.getState() === "playing"){player.pause();}}}); break; case "yt": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){id.pauseVideo();}}); break; case "dm": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid && !id.paused){id.pause();}}); break;}});}var dmp=function(){pauseVideos(this)}function pause(){pauseVideos()}setTimeout(function(){var dmplayer = DM.player(document.getElementById("x72e5f2"), {video: "x72e5f2", height: document.body.offsetWidth * (9/16),width: document.body.offsetWidth});embedId.dm.push(dmplayer);dmplayer.addEventListener('playing', dmp);},1000); Dailyhunthttps://www.spreaker.com/user/11059613

After Pulwama, a manufactured outpouring of grief

n the face of it, the advisory seemed utterly pointless. Given the ultranationalist tenor of most television news even in normal times, the chances of any channel promoting "anti-national attitudes" after such a horrific attack on security forces were less than nil.On the contrary, the advisory provided the perfect backdrop for many a channel to indulge in unabashed warmongering. Television studios were transformed into "war rooms" and there were shrill demands for retribution and revenge against Pakistan.Heart-rending stories about the families left behind by the hapless soldiers killed while defending the unity and integrity of the country only added to the sense of national outrage.The advisory, it soon transpired, had had its desired effect. Such has been the impact of the hyper-emotional coverage of the Pulwama tragedy that every political party has come out in full support of the government in this "hour of national crisis".The Congress, living up to its reputation of being the "natural party of governance" has taken the lead. Even though the Bharatiya Janata Party and Narendra Modi himself (when in the Opposition) seized upon every terror attack to pillory previous governments, the Congress chose not to retaliate in kind.Instead, it decided to cancel all political programmes for three days. On February 15, the day after the massacre in Pulwama, Rahul Gandhi declared: "I want to make it very clear that the aim of terrorism is to divide this country and we are not going to be divided for one second. No matter how hard people try, this country and the entire Opposition are going to stand together, we are going to stand with our jawans and we are going to stand with our government."But the statesman-like approach of the Congress president, sadly, is unlikely to curb the vituperative discourse unleashed by the ruling party and its support base. The declaration of the prime minister that every Indian's "blood boils", following the terror attack has given free rein to his followers to attack Kashmiris in Jammu and other parts of the country. A new tactic adopted by them is to demand that candles are lit in every house to mourn the death of the soldiers. Those who do not can then be termed "anti-national".The manufactured outpouring of grief over Pulwama and the talk of strikes (or even war) against Pakistan has two aims. The first, and more obvious one, is to ratchet up jingoistic sentiments to help the BJP win big in the Lok Sabha elections that are round the corner.And the second is to stop us from asking questions about the Modi regime's multiple failures that are, in part, responsible for the most successful terror attack against security forces in the Kashmir Valley.That a vehicle laden with 300 kilograms of explosives could ram into a CRPF convoy in a state under the iron grip of the army is an intelligence failure of colossal magnitude.But the intelligence failure is embedded in a bigger political failure. The BJP's belief that Kashmir is just a "law and order" problem that can be crushed with strong-arm tactics sans political dialogue has simply not worked. According to a home ministry reply to Parliament earlier this month, there was a 176 per cent rise in terrorist incidents in the state between 2014 and 2018. The number of civilians killed rose by 35.71 per cent; of security personnel by 93 per cent; and of terrorists by 133.63 per cent.And the political failure stems from an ideological mindset which only values the territory of Kashmir and not its people - refusing to see that Kashmir acceded to a secular India, and has no legitimate future in a Hindu rashtra.Adil Ahmad Dar, the 22-year-old suicide bomber, left home less than a year ago. After the Pulwama massacre, his father, Ghulam Hassan Dar, said, "It is bad that people from both sides are getting killed. The politicians are playing politics and not addressing the problem. They should try to find out why the youth are picking up the gun and are ready to take such an extreme step."Till we answer that question, the endless cycle of violence in Kashmir is not going to end, no matter how many revenge attacks we may undertake... 1684651 1684650 manini.chatterjee@abp.in Dailyhunthttps://www.imdb.com/user/ur98786381/?ref_=nb_usr_prof_0

Pulwama attack effect: 2 Uttarakhand colleges say won't admit Kashmiris

Top officials of the two colleges have confirmed the development in separate letters shared with students' unions, who have been demanding expulsion of all Kashmiri students following the attack. In the Uttarakhand capital, some Kashmiri youths had also alleged that they were harassed and asked by their landlords to vacate accommodations fearing attacks on their properties in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident. On Friday, a student in Dehradun was also booked for allegedly sending WhatsApp messages supporting the Pulwama suicide attack. The Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday had asked its liaison officers across the country to look into problems being faced by students from the state. In Jaipur, four female paramedical students of Kashmiri-origin were slapped with sedition charges after being suspended from a private institute for allegedly celebrating the terror attack by posting 'anti-national' messages on an instant messaging app, police officials had Sunday. They were students of the National Institute of Medical Science NIMS. Haryana's Swami Devi Dyal College has suspended a Kashmiri student after he allegedly posted a status on Whatsapp saying 'Jaish the best...more to come'. The student was suspended with immediate effect but no police complaint could be initiated against him as he is in Kashmir since January and has not been attending college, according to the institute's management, . In Bengaluru, one Kashmiri student was Saturday arrested for allegedly hailing the Jaish terrorist involved in the attack and three from Spurthy Group of Institutions on Sunday held on charges of sedition after they posted some messages on Facebook hailing Pakistan in respect to the Pulwama incident. Several Kashmiri students in Delhi said they were in a state of fear after reports of alleged harassment of Kashmiris following the terror attack, even as police asserted that security had been enhanced in the national capital and they would ensure the safety of all citizens. A Kashmiri student from Jamia Millia Islamia, who did not wish to be identified, said, 'Just the fact that one is a Kashmiri, irrespective of his ideology or leanings, is enough to put one's life to risk. It is happening across the country. Kashmiri students are being harassed and hounded, be it Dehradun, Ambala or Bangalore. We really fear for our security here too.' JNU activist Shehla Rashid, who hails from Kashmir, said, 'Throughout India, mobs are attacking Kashmiri students, verbally abusing them, asking for them to be expelled and filing false cases against them. The pretext being given in each case is that they said Pakistan Zindabad and even police is buying into these false claims.' Anis Ahmed, a Kashmiri student at Delhi University, said, 'We are not at all reacting on social media to any abuses which are being hurled at us even if we are being labelled as terrorists. Students who are staying on rented accommodations rather than hostels are even more scared about their safety'. The Home Ministry on Saturday issued an advisory to all states and Union territories to take measures to ensure the safety and security of Kashmiris, while The ministry's advisory had come hours after Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured an all-party meeting of doing the needful for the protection of the Kashmiri students and people who were allegedly threatened after the terrorist attack.

Punjab Cricket association removes pictures of Pakistani players from Mohali stadium

The entire nation is shocked by what happened in Pulwama. Keeping the public sentiments in mind, we have taken the decision,' said Singla. The frames, around a dozen in number, are official match pictures, including that of the crowd during the 2011 World Cup semifinal between the arch rivals, besides candid shots of players, including Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, former pacer Wasim Akram and former captain and coach Javed Miandad. 'War and sports can't go hand-in-hand' 'Sportsman spirit is one thing but the association feels that war and sports cannot hand-in-hand. Everybody is disturbed with the terror attack and the association has made a humble effort to show solidarity with the nation,' said treasurer Ajay Tyagi. PCA has a rich history of hosting Pakistan on a number of occasions in all the three formats of the game. This includes one Test match way back in 2005. The ground has seen two T20 internationals involving Pakistan, which has also featured in seven ODIs, including the high-voltage 2011 World Cup semifinal. The last was attended by the top leaders of both the countries, including the then prime ministers Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani. The association even had former Pakistan captain and coach Intikhab Alam as its Ranji team coach for two seasons from 2004-06. He was appointed again in 2008-09 but couldn't join as he was made the manager of the Pakistan team. He was coach of the Pakistan team that won the 1992 World Cup. Earlier, on Saturday, the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai had covered a portrait of Imran Khan in its canteen as a mark of protest. Dailyhunthttp://doodleordie.com/profile/michealratees

Explained: Why BJP and Shiv Sena have decided to stick together in Maharashtra

'The Shiv Sena and the BJP have been partners for the past 25 years,' Fadnavis said. He acknowledged that 'there have been some differences in the past,' however, 'both the parties are ideologically committed to Hindutva and that is the reason we have come together'. 'Because some parties are coming together to cause confusion and challenge the nationalist thought, it is necessary that nationalist parties come together,' Fadnavis said. Watch video: Why the BJP needs Shiv Sena in Maharashtra setTimeout(function(){(function(id){var embedTag=document.getElementById(id).children[0]; if(embedTag){var width=embedTag.offsetWidth; var height=embedTag.offsetHeight; embedTag.height=document.body.offsetWidth * (height/width); embedTag.width=document.body.offsetWidth;}})("embed-brightcove-iframe-tag-0");},1000); The nearly half-and-half seat-sharing arrangement — 25 for BJP and 23 for Shiv Sena — for the Lok Sabha polls demonstrates the realisation of each party's need for the other in a situation where doing well in Maharashtra is critical to the BJP's return to power in New Delhi. Since 1989, when they first entered into a formal alliance, the two parties have fed off each other to gain political strength. However, the Sena, after having played the dominant role in the alliance for years, had begun to feel insecure as the BJP's star rose in 2014 when it emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly elections. Left with no choice, the Sena had joined the BJP-led government as the junior partner but had chosen to criticise the BJP at every possible opportunity. Fadnavis said that a similar seat-sharing formula would apply for the Assembly elections as well. The two parties would hold talks with other allies and, 'After allotting requisite seats to other allies, both the parties will fight an equal number of seats in the Maharashtra Assembly elections,' Fadnavis said. An analysis of the electoral performance of the two parties since they joined hands shows that the alliance helped the Sena piggyback on the BJP's popularity to national prominence while helping the BJP gain greater penetration in the state. Initially, the Sena got a larger share of seats in the Assembly polls, while the BJP had the upper hand in the Lok Sabha elections. This changed gradually, and in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP contested on 24 seats to the Sena's 20. In the Assembly elections of that year, the parties contested separately, as perception grew among the Sena cadre that the BJP had been the bigger gainer from their alliance. But with the parties fighting tough battles both in the state and at the Centre, and with their main competitors, the Congress and NCP, having decided to strike an alliance, getting back together was probably their only option.
