It will celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between India and Bhutan. The 2018 edition will focus on subjects such as Spirituality and Philosophy, Performing Arts, Environmental Conservation, Food, as well as Film and Theatre, among others.

9 Congress unites Indians while BJP-RSS divides them: Rahul There is a major ideological difference between the parties, says Cong. president Congress president Rahul Gandhi said on Friday that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) might keep talking about women s welfare but it treated them as second class citizens and denies them a place in the organisation. Mr. Gandhi said he might disagree with Prime Minister Narendra Modi but he would not be abusive of him because of the position he held. The Congress chief, however, said the same could not be said of the Prime Minister as he (Mr. Modi) used offensive language against him and many others in the Opposition. Wrapping up the German leg of his tour, Mr. Gandhi addressed an event organised by the Indian Overseas Congress in Berlin on Thursday.

10 CONTINUE He said there could be conversations between political rivals but there was a line that divided the RSS-BJP and the Congress. While his party bound the people of India, the BJP-RSS divided them and spread hatred, he said. There is a major difference in the ideology of the Congress and the BJP. In the RSS, women are not allowed to join the organisation, women are second class citizens They definitely talk about women but in their organisation you will not see even a single woman. But in our organisation [Congress], we treat equally both women and men and we don t discriminate and will never discriminate, Mr. Gandhi said. The BJP-RSS people are spreading hatred in our own country. Our job is to bring the people together and take the country forward and we have shown how to do it, he said.

11 CONCLUSION He said his thoughts emanated from those of Guru Nanak Dev, the first Sikh Guru, and thanked the members of the Indian community in Germany, many of whom are from Punjab, for supporting the Congress. When we needed you, you stood with us and helped us form our government in Punjab. A friend in need is a friend indeed and you have been true friends, he told the audience.

13 Trouble in the hills: on Western Ghats ecology The catastrophic monsoon floods in Kerala and parts of Karnataka have revived the debate on whether political expediency trumped science. Seven years ago, the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel issued recommendations for the preservation of the fragile western peninsular region. Madhav Gadgil, who chaired the Union Environment Ministry s WGEEP, has said the recent havoc in Kerala is a consequence of short-sighted policymaking, and warned that Goa may also be in the line of nature s fury. The State governments that are mainly responsible for the Western Ghats Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Goa and Maharashtra must go back to the drawing table with the reports of both the Gadgil Committee and the Kasturirangan Committee, which was set up to examine the WGEEP report. The task before them is to initiate correctives to environmental policy decisions.

14 CONTINUE This is not going to be easy, given the need to balance human development pressures with stronger protection of the Western Ghats ecology. The issue of allowing extractive industries such as quarrying and mining to operate is arguably the most contentious. A way out could be to create the regulatory framework that was proposed by the Gadgil panel, in the form of an apex Western Ghats Ecology Authority and the State-level units, under the Environment (Protection) Act, and to adopt the zoning system that it proposed. This can keep incompatible activities out of the Ecologically Sensitive Zones (ESZs). At issue in the Western Ghats spread over 1,29,037 sq km according to the WGEEP estimate and 1,64,280 sq km as per the Kasturirangan panel is the calculation of what constitutes the sensitive core and what activities can be carried out there.

15 CONTINUE The entire system is globally acknowledged as a biodiversity hotspot. But population estimates for the sensitive zones vary greatly, based on interpretations of the ESZs. In Kerala, for instance, one expert assessment says 39 lakh households are in the ESZs outlined by the WGEEP, but the figure drops sharply to four lakh households for a smaller area of zones identified by the Kasturirangan panel. The goal has to be sustainable development for the Ghats as a whole. The role of big hydroelectric dams, built during an era of rising power demand and deficits, must now be considered afresh and proposals for new ones dropped. Other low-impact forms of green energy led by solar power are available.

16 CONCLUSION A moratorium on quarrying and mining in the identified sensitive zones, in Kerala and also other States, is necessary to assess their environmental impact. Kerala s Finance Minister, Thomas Isaac, has acknowledged the need to review decisions affecting the environment, in the wake of the floods. Public consultation on the expert reports that includes people s representatives will find greater resonance now, and help chart a sustainable path ahead.
