The conclave in its resolution said that having critically A herd of buffaloes on the bank of Brahmaputra river, near Gohpur on Saturday. UB Photos deliberated and appreciated the contents and intent of the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 and understanding the threats posed by the proposed Bill to the very existence of the indigenous peoples to their very survival, their land and their future, the participants of the conclave resolutely resolved that such communal, anti-constitutional and anti-indigenous peoples Bill must not be allowed to be imposed upon Northeast India against people s will. It further said that the coordination committee formed by it will mobilize the people of the region to adopt a united stand and an action plan at all fronts against the Bill. The committee will also organize a sustained movement, hold simultaneous demonstrations in all the northeastern states capitals against the Bill to prevent it from being enacted by the country s Parliament, a statement received here this evening said. Moreover, the coordination committee will submit memoranda to the President of India and the chairman of the (See page 11) Rajnath, Hasina discuss issues of mutual concern DHAKA, July 14: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today held an extremely fruitful meeting with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during which the two leaders discussed issues of mutual concern, including the menace of terrorism. Singh arrived here yesterday on a threeday visit. Had an extremely fruitful meeting with the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina in Dhaka today. We discussed a range of bilateral and regional issues of mutual interest, Singh tweeted after his meeting with Hasina at her official residence. It is possible to uproot militancy and terrorism if all the countries in the region join their hands, Singh told Hasina. According to a Bangladesh Prime Minister s Office spokesman, Singh also told Hasina, without naming any country, that the expected collaborative actions were not (See page 11) No timeline yet on Guwahati-Dhaka bus service SANJOY RAY GUWAHATI, July 14: Even after nearly four years have elapsed since the official announcement was made, the Assam government is still struggling to fix a specific timeline to start the ambitious Guwahati-Shillong-Dhaka bus service, a project envisaged as a stepping stone to improved Indo-Bangla relationship. Ironically, unlike Assam, neighbouring state Meghalaya has already started the bus operation to Dhaka. Further, with the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) scheduled to be published on July 31, there is a slim chance of the bus service getting a go-ahead in the near future, given the political hullabaloo that may arise. To add insult to injury, the office of the Assistant High Commissioner, Bangladesh in Guwahati too has become (See page 11) JOCOSERIOUS Rs 50-lakh award for Hima STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, July 14: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today announced an award of Rs 50 lakh to athlete Hima Das. He further announced that she would be appointed as the State s sports ambassador. Hima, who brought laurels to the nation and the State by becoming the first Indian athelet to win gold in track events at world championships, will also be felicitated by the government at a function tomorrow, an official release said. PTI adds: Hima Das will be provided end-toend support towards her preparation for 2020 Tokyo Olympics under the government s Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS). Centre may put citizenship Bill on hold R DUTTA CHOUDHURY NEW DELHI, July 14: The Government of India is likely to put the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 in the cold storage, at least for the time being following strong protests in Assam and the Centre has decided not to impose the Bill without taking the views of all stakeholders into consideration. Highly placed sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told The Assam Tribune here that the Centre has found itself in a catch-22 situation over the Bill and it is finding it difficult to take a decision. That is why, the Bill is likely to be put on hold for the time being till the views of all stakeholders are taken into consideration. Sources admitted that the Centre did not anticipate such strong protests from different organizations of Assam before bringing the Bill to provide citizenship to the minority communities like Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Now after the strong protests in Assam against the Bill, the government is likely to put it in the cold storage for the time being. Sources admitted that because of its failure to anticipate the fact that the Bill may lead to strong protests in Assam, the Centre has now found itself in a fix. MHA sources said that at present, the government is also not in a position to withdraw the Bill as it would lead to repercussions in some other parts of the country, while, on the other hand, it is also not keen on imposing the same against the wishes of the people of Assam. The government is also not yet considering amending the Bill so that Assam is not affected by it, sources admitted. However, at the same time, sources revealed that the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), formed to hold talks with the stakeholders seeking opinion on the Bill, would continue its work. The JPC already held a series of talks with different organizations of Assam, both in Delhi and in the State. But the JPC would need some time before submitting its report as members of the panel would have to visit other states to be affected by the Bill before submitting its report and it is unlikely that the committee would be able to do so in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament. On its part, the government will also not ask the JPC to hurry through its proceedings, sources said. Under the circumstances, it is (See page 11) Hima s feat has given new energy to Indians: PM VARANASI, July 14: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today heaped praise on Assamese athlete Hima Das, who scripted history by becoming the first Indian to win a gold in a track event at the world level. The Prime Minister said he was deeply touched when Das passionately searched for the Tricolour after winning the race and became emotional while singing the national anthem during the medal presentation ceremony. Addressing a rally here, Modi began his speech by commending the 18-year-old sprinter, who won a gold in the women s 400m race in the World U20 Athletic Championships. She is the daughter of the country, Assam s athlete Hima Das, Modi said. Seeing her passionately search for the Tricolour immediately after winning and getting emotional while singing the National Anthem touched me deeply. I was extremely moved, the Prime Minister said. Which Indian won t have tears of joy on seeing this. It gives new energy and encouragement to 1.24 billion Indians. I congratulate her for making the country proud, he said. Das, who clocked seconds to win the gold, hails from Dhing in Assam s Nagaon district. The Prime Minister also shared a video of Das on Twitter. Unforgettable moments s victory, he said.

3 NATIONAL SUNDAY, JULY 15, 2018 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI 3 Wanted criminal shot dead SHIMLA, July 14: Punjab Police on early Saturday shot dead a wanted criminal and arrested two of his accomplices in Himachal Pradesh s Bilaspur district after a brief encounter, said a senior police officer. The dead criminal was identified as Sunny Masih of Gurdaspur in Punjab, he said. Two others Amanpreet and Goldy were arrested. Two policemen also received gunshot injuries. Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Kuldeep Singh Chahal and other senior police officials visited the encounter spot. IANS Cong is a party for Muslim men: PM AZAMGARH, July 14: Days ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament when the government is likely to push for the passage of a bill against instant triple talaq, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mocked Congress for being a party which stood only with Muslim men. The real face of these parties was revealed by their approach on triple talaq, he said at a public meeting here, part of his two-day visit to eastern Uttar Pradesh. On one side the Centre is making efforts to ease and improve the lives of women and on the other these parties are working to put the lives of women, especially Muslim women, in danger, he said criticising the opposition. Crores of Muslim women had always demanded that triple talaq should be banned, as it is also banned in Islamic countries, he said. I read in the newspaper that the Congress president had said that the Congress is a party of Muslims, and there has been discussion on this for the past two days, he said in an apparent reference to Rahul Gandhi s recent meeting with Muslim intellectuals. I am not surprised as when Manmohan Singh was the PM, he had said that Muslims have the first right over natural resources, Modi said. But I want to ask the Congress whether it is a party of Muslim men alone, he added. The criticism comes ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament where a bill abolishing instant divorce among Muslims, already passed in the Lok Sabha, is pending in the Rajya Sabha. Congress and some other opposition parties have expressed reservations on the bill, and the ruling BJP has accused them of trying to stall it. Is there any place for the dignity and the rights of Muslim women? They have stalled legislation in Parliament, and they do not allow Parliament to run, Modi said. These dynastic parties are toiling to oust Modi. I want to tell them that there are still four or five days left for the Parliament session to begin. Meet the victims of talaq and halala, ask them about their plight, and then put your point of view in Parliament, he said. The prime minister was in Azamgarh to lay the foundation stone for the 340-km Purvanchal Expressway which will connect Lucknow with Ghazipur at a cost of Rs 23,000 crore.

PTI Man held for locking up wife after giving triple talaq in UP BAREILLY, July 14: A man has been arrested for allegedly giving his wife triple talaq over phone and locking her up for a month without food and water, leading to her death, police said today. Razia was rescued from her husband s home here two months back, but her condition did not improve, her family had said. She died on Tuesday while being taken to a hospital in Lucknow. Her husband Naeem who runs a chappal (slipper) factory in Delhi was arrested yesterday and sent to jail, Superintendent of Police (City) Abhinandan Singh said. On Thursday, a case of dowry death was registered against Naeem and the wom- Haryana launches I am not afraid of English campaign in schools CHANDIGARH, July 14: The Haryana Education Department has launched I am not afraid of English initiative to promote English language right from Class 1 in the state s primary schools, it was announced on Saturday. The initiative is aimed at capacity building of teachers to enable them to help the students to learn, read, write and speak English, an Education Department spokesman said. To start with, a booklet containing 1,000 sentences/ phrases has been prepared. It contains 200 sentences per grade for all the five grades at the primary level of schooling. One JBT (junior basic teacher) and one BRP (Block Resource Person) per block has been trained to make the students learn one sentence every day (minimum 20 per month for 10 months) in each class. This way a student who is in class 1, will be able to learn (read/write and speak) at least 1,000 sentences till he graduates to the primary level, he added. He said that six language labs have been established in selected model Sanskriti schools in the state to facilitate digital learning and improve listening and speaking skills of the students. Gradually, language labs will be set up in other schools of the state also. Bag-free English Medium Schools for classes 1st and 2nd have been started in selected 180 government primary schools of the state. he said. IANS an s in-laws. The victim s sister had alleged that the husband of the 35-year-old woman used to beat her over dowry. My sister Razia got married to Naeem Khan in A few days after their marriage, Naeem started beating her up, demanding dowry. In April, Naeem divorced her over phone. He returned home after a few days and then locked her in a small room at his house, and did not even give her food or water, Razia s elder sister Tara had claimed. However, Naeem has claimed that he had not divorced Razia, and his in-laws had registered a case of dowry against him, according to the police. PTI Shah tears into Cong, says it can t preserve democracy GANDHINAGAR, July 14: In a sharp attack on the Congress and the Gandhi-Nehru family, BJP president Amit Shah said today that a party which failed in establishing internal democracy can never preserve India s democracy. Before the BJP came to power under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, India was lagging behind other countries in most key areas such as economic growth, agriculture and on social sector indicators, he said. However in the past four years, things have improved considerably, Shah said, addressing the audience at Youth Parliament organised in the Karnavati University here. Before 2014, a particular party remained in power for the maximum period after Independence. But the way these governments functioned, a large part of population remained deprived of development. These people had a feeling that independence brought no benefit for them, he said, without taking the name of the Congress party. He then highlighted the achievements of the BJP-led government at the Centre. After assuming office (in May 2014), the first task Modiji took up was to uplift 50 crore people. In these four years, he brought 30 crore citizens in the formal economy by opening their bank accounts.

5 CITY SUNDAY, JULY 15, 2018 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI 5 WEATHER GUWAHATI LOCAL FORECAST: Generally cloudy sky. Rain/thundershower is likely to occur. Maximum temperature is most likely to be 36 C on Sunday. TEMPERATURE: Max 36.6 C Min 25.5 C HS student goes missing JALUKBARI, July 14: Police are searching for a student who went missing from Sai Vikash Junior College at Ahomgaon in Gorchuk. Gorchuk police station sources said the student identified as Himalaya Brahma (18), a resident of Kokrajhar and a second-year student of HS (Science) went missing on July 9 from the college premises. Before that, he was seen roaming on the streets and was picked up by a patrolling party from the police station. A person, who identified himself as his uncle from Kokrajhar, took him from the police station. He attended his classes on July 11 but again went missing in the night of July 11 from the college hostel. The police sources said the student has a history of going missing and that his parents were aware of it. The school authorities intimated the student's parents on July 11, and also lodged a missing complaint on July 13. Correspondent Zakat distribution GUWAHATI, July 14: The CM Hostel Alumni Association (of erstwhile Cotton College) has collected zakat and donations from its members and well-wishers to be offered to meritorious poor students at a zakat distribution ceremony to be held in the Sudmersen Hall of Cotton University here at 10 am tomorrow, stated a press release. Staff Reporter NAYANIKA SAIKIA GUWAHATI, July 14: One of the oldest localities of Guwahati, Chandmari is a happening area with a thick population and robust business activities. The Navagiri Road, just a stone s throw from the Chandmari traffic point, is a busy lane on the northern side that also serves as a useful shortcut to areas like Silpukhuri, Nabagraha and Guwahati Club. The same can be said of the nearby lanes that run parallel to Navagiri Road after branching out from the MRD Road. However, the area has been grappling with major civic problems for years. As soon as the rainy season starts, the most critical problem that the people of this area face is waterlogging. Towards the lower reaches of the Navagiri Road, flooding is common during the monsoon season. Much of this problem can be attributed to the drains clogged with plastic waste and weeds, which make Tech City for start-ups in Guwahati early next year STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, July 14: The 120,000 sq ft Tech City for startups being built by Assam Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (AMTRON) near the Guwahati airport will be ready early next year, said MK Yadava, Managing Director, AMTRON. The response has been tremendous. So much so that the State government has decided to add 200,000 sq ft space to the upcoming Tech City, Yadava said at the inaugural session of the ICT North East 2018 organised by CII in partnership with AMTRON and the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) Guwahati here on Friday. The theme of the flagship conference was Digital Strategies for Enabling Ecosystem. There is a compelling need for creating a strong ecosystem for nurturing startups not only in Assam but across the North- STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, July 14: The Assam government is committed towards providing quality health care to people and the Atal Amrit Abhiyan has been a major move in this direction, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Pijush Hazarika said this while inaugurating a mega health camp here today.

A memorial meeting will Poor civic conditions dog Chandmari area them overflow after just a few minutes of rain. This pathetic condition prevails not only around this lane, but the whole of Chandmari. Although the recent drain-clearing drives undertaken by the administration have improved the situation a little bit, much remains to be done as maintenance is a continuous process. A large share of the blame falls also on the general public, as some people tend to take the city s roads and drains for granted and consider them as dumping grounds. Throwing of garbage like plastic bottles of water and soft drinks, food wrappers and many other non-biodegradables points toward a woeful lack of civic sense on the part of such people, because of whom the majority have to suffer. Apart from regular cleaning, therefore, awareness drives among the people would go a long way in improving the civic condition in this area. The rampant use of plastic also needs to be curbed, as they not only cause drain-clogging, but affect animal health as well. Drinking water facilities in the area also need to be improved, as water supply is hardly regular. It is especially during the first quarter of the year, just before the monsoon season, that people have to face the menace of this irregular water supply even more, because of lack of rainfall activities. One recent development that the Guwahati Municipal Corporation has made in the area is the house-tohouse collection of garbage, which east also, Yadava added. Assam is soon going to come up with the Tech Village, a concept designed to help entrepreneurs and students in training and skilling. Tech Village will help people live in remote areas and fulfil their dream of becoming entrepreneurs. Also in the pipeline are a few Centres of Excellence which will benefit the youths of Assam as well as the other Northeastern States, he said. Nitin Khade, IT Secretary of Assam, said the State government is focusing on promoting e-governance ecosystem in the State. The State is evaluating the issue of better bandwidth. We will be approaching the Central government soon in this regard, Khade said. The State government is committed towards providing high speed Internet connectivity to the citizens of Assam, which is among the very few States in the country that provides incentives to IT companies which set up units outside the IT Parks, said Khade, who also invited startups in Assam to come up with innovative ideas in artificial intelligence to tackle floods. The Assam government will soon start work on FibreNet, he added. Prabir Das, Regional Director, STPI, highlighted the various aspects for building an ecosystem for startups and the conducive environment needed to create the same. KD Vizo, IT Commissioner of Nagaland, listed the initiatives the Nagaland government has taken. He emphasised on reaping the benefits of digital economy besides favouring the digital integration of the economy. The Nagaland government is promoting digital integration in the State in a big way, Vizo said, adding that the key objective is to improve ease of doing business in the State. He also said Nagaland has become the biggest BPO destination in the region.

Another person from the locality believes that sweeping of the streets every day would be preferable to make maintenance of cleanliness a norm in the area. Due to the tardy pace in construction of a culvert on the periphery of the park in the neighbourhood, certain traffic issues come up during the rush hours every day. The authorities have not been able to maintain the roads and this causes a lot of inconvenience to people, especially while driving. Haphazard parking of vehicles is another serious issue that impairs the daily activities of the people a lot. Vehicles parked just at the turn of the road, or those occupying half of the road itself, cause much difficulty to the people. One can only hope that the overall situation in the area does not worsen at the peak of the monsoon season. A total of 3,482 pilgrims will go for the annual pilgrimage from the region this year. Altogether 551 pilgrims, mostly from the Barak Valley, will board a flight from Kolkata on July 22. A team of officials has been deputed in Kolkata to look after the facilities for the pilgrims there, he said. Beginning today, there will be one flight everyday bound for Saudi Arabia from Guwahati.

6 6 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI SUNDAY, JULY 15, 2018 MESSAGE FOR TODAY Hate speech and freedom of speech are different. LESLIE JONES Decoding Dangerous proposal There are two sides to the social media coin. It has facilitated distant communication between individuals and brought the people of the world that much closer. Today, there are numerous social media platforms whereby one can keep in constant touch with friends, family members, business associates and so on. In every sense accessibility to the social media has exposed people living in remote corners to the goings on in the broader world. Yet social media has not been an unmitigated blessing for mankind. Psychologists have established that platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp are responsible for the alienation and angst felt by a segment of modern society, in particular the young, impressionable generation. The phenomenon known as trolling, the sending of vicious and often obscene messages to persons with whose opinion the sender differs, is another negative outcome of social media developments. But, perhaps, the most insidious offshoot of the social media phenomenon is that it too has made easy purveyance of fake news in order to create social tensions by inciting people. The recent nation-wide incidents of lynching of innocent individuals by falsely accusing them of crimes such as child-lifting and raising mobs against them through the social media, which had induced India s Supreme Court to direct the Government to take preventive action, are cases in point. However, the response of the Government might take an undesirable turn. It has now decided to set up a social media hub to monitor online data, ostensibly to trace undesirable messages and take appropriate action. This dangerous proposal has set the alarm bells ringing among conscious citizens and led the Apex Court to assert that this will be like creating a surveillance state. Only in authoritarian countries like China and North Korea are West-based social media platforms banned, while indigenous ones are tightly monitored and State-censorship rigidly employed. For Governments to which freedom of speech is an alien concept since it tends to foment rebellion against the State, shifting through citizens private communications is considered the sensible thing to do, thus ethicality does not become an issue. But this cannot hold true for a democratic republic like India, whose Constitution grants citizens right to free speech as well as privacy. There is danger that those in power might be tempted to create an Orwellian environment and data collected through surveillance might be used to stifle freedom of speech as also against political opponents. The more desirable option would be to coerce social media platforms to improve their monitoring mechanism. They must be made to take remedial measures through appropriate technology to prevent proliferation of motivated messages, and penalized heavily if they fail to do so. Kaziranga concerns The raising of the Special Rhino Protection Force (SRPF) for Kaziranga with the induction of 90 personnel is a welcome step towards securing a safe future for Kaziranga s wildlife, especially rhinos that have been the prime target of poachers for decades. Shortage of quality manpower has been a persistent irritant hindering conservation efforts not just in Kaziranga but across all the wildlife habitats in the State. In fact, overall manpower shortage remains a pressing concern for our forests but the situation stands worsened by the lack of training, equipment and amenities for the frontline personnel. It hardly merits any surprise that a vast segment of the frontline staff is an unmotivated lot in the face of debilitating constraints in harsh jungle conditions. For saving whatever remains of our invaluable natural heritage, keeping the frontline personnel healthy, motivated and alert is the single-most important thing. Unfortunately, our thick-skinned authorities have all along shown an uncalled-for penchant for making the Forest Department top-heavy much to the detriment of the interests of conservation. To expect illequipped and unmotivated forest guards perform miracles is too much to ask, more so in the context of the prevailing situation when international poaching networks are operating with a lot of dexterity. Periodical assessments of the security arrangements in our protected forests lay bare where the lacunae in their management lie. If the Government is serious about protecting our forest wealth, addressing those concerns should not be a Herculean exercise. The sincerity of the Forest Department, particularly its top brass, will count a lot here. Wanton destruction of forests across the State raises legitimate questions on the commitment of the department to honouring its mandate of protecting forests and wildlife. With the Centre also pledging more support for maintenance of the national parks and tiger reserves, the State authorities need to go the extra mile to make conservation a success. From THE PAST Over 1,000 Mizo, Naga Rebels On Way To China Lynching Prof Ujjwal K Chowdhury L ynching, which means killing of individuals by mobs, is a public crime. However, it is not listed as a separate crime under the Indian Penal Code. Hence, information about it can be gained only from media and fact finding reports. According to web portal IndiaSpend, 25 Indians were killed in 60 cow related violent incidences between 2010 and Ninety seven percent of these incidences were reported after Modi govt came to power in 2014, and 84% percent of those killed were Muslim. A July 2017 report from the pro Right Wing think-tank, Observer Research Foundation, found a sharp increase in cow related violent incidences among total cases of mob violence. These incidences rose from less than 5% of cases of mob violence in 2012, to more than 20% by June In the last month, at least two cases and three deaths due to lynching were reported. In many cases of lynching, locally organized cow protection groups take the lead and incite mob violence against hapless victims. Hate filled messages fabricated with lies are spread on social media to gather crowds. Police is a passive accomplice, and in most cases criminal cases are filed against victims themselves under cow protection laws. However, it needs to be underlined that even without cow vigilantism, individuals and communities in India face lot of violence which enjoys passive, or active public approval. Dalits have been facing caste violence for thousands of years. Even now, despite constitutional provisions many of them face every day public humiliation. Massacres of Dalits by gangs of caste Hindus at Kilevenmani, Bathani Tola, Laxmanpur Bathe, Khairlanji and recent violence in Una are among the darkest spots in post independence Indian history. Reply to a question in Parliament in the monsoon session of 2017 mentioned 288 cases of honour killing between 2014 and While the lynching of minorities is largely political, the caste and ethnic violence and honour killings are social systemic. While the crowd created by political parties with a purpose indulges in violence, the unorganised association of people carries out the killing on certain faulty premises. People also take the law into their hands thinking that those they target may escape the clutches of law if let free. Democracy is not possible in a society which accepts mass violence as a norm. A society which accepts different kinds of social systemic and random violence as routine, can become an easy prey to political violence of Fascism. Fascism is anti-democratic precisely because it uses violence as a political tool against selected social and political groups. Illegal immigrants Umesh C Tahbildar I t is a nagging fact that for decades, citizens of Bangladesh erstwhile East Pakistan, have been infiltrating into India illegally across the demarcated international border. The number of these illegal immigrants including their progeny has now swelled into millions creating a sobering demographic debacle. The fact is that the governmental authorities have been ineffective in protecting the international border with Assam from these illegal immigrants. This problem has its roots in the sad geo-political reality that Bangladesh with a current population of 166 million is over populated with an impoverished section looking for a patch of greener grass elsewhere. Assam has a current population of approximately 34 million with a population density that is about one third that of Bangladesh. The fertile land of Assam is, naturally, a beacon of hope for the poor and the destitute of Bangladesh looking for a possible subsistence living. That the illegal Bangladeshi immigration in India is frighteningly high is borne out by the estimates quoted by government sources. On July 14, 2004, Sriprakash Jaiswal, the then Minister of State for Home Affairs, stated in the Indian Parliament that there were 12 million illegal Bangladeshis in India. He also said that Assam alone accounted for 5 million, while their number was estimated to be 5.7 million in West Bengal. Twelve years later, on Wednesday, Nov 16, 2016, in response to a question put forth in the Rajya Sabha, Kiren Rijiju, Minister of State for Home affairs, in the Modi government, said that there were around 20 million illegal migrants staying in India. Although the numbers quoted by Jaiswal (UPA Government) and Rijiju (NDA Government) are apparently way apart, given the time lapse of 12 years, if one consider the high growth rate of the immigrants, they seem to be in a tight ballpark. India- Bangladesh international border is about 4156 km long that has for a long time facilitated easy RANGOON, July 14: More than 1,000 rebel Mizo and Naga tribesmen crossed the Burmese frontier from India on their way to China for training at the beginning of this month, the official Mirror newspaper reported today, reports Reuter. The paper said the rebels had crossed the border in the Homalin area, about 600 miles north-west of Rangoon, on July 2 and were making their way towards China. The rebels had taken rice from the villages they passed and Burmese troops were in hot pursuit, the Mirror added. Meanwhile, a Kohima message (UNI) says: At least 3,000 rebel Nagas are now in China for training and arms, it is reliably learnt. Till recently the number of rebels in China had been estimated between 1,000 and 1,500. Well-informed circles now admit that this is an under estimation. The earlier estimates was derived from the calculation that about a quarter of the underground army had been sent abroad. It did not take into account the fresh recruits sent for training. SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1968 cross over to India by the illegal immigrants because of lax border control. The number of Illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in India per kilometer of international border is even higher than that of the Mexican illegal immigrants in the USA per kilometer of the 3145 km international border with Mexico. As is the case with the USA and some European countries, the ground reality of crime and other demographic assault implications of the illegal infiltrators is very disturbing. In the specific context of Assam, illegal Bangladeshi immigration has posed a grave threat to the very Assamese identity. This threat perception gave rise to the agitation by the All Assam Students Union (AASU) from 1979 to The agitation came to an end with the Assam Accord signed in 1985 by the Government of India (GOI) and the All Assam Student Union (AASU). However, as of date, the promises of the accord have not been realized even after 33 years. There has not been any effective identification and expulsion of the illegal immigrants during this period of time. To understand fully the threat perception of the Assamese people trying to safeguard its identity, one need to understand the unique nature of the Assamese society and its identity characterization. The Assamese society is a heterogeneous one that reflects a composite mosaic sculptured out of scores of ethnic groups and tribes of hills and dales, who have created a common culture with healthy interaction over time. It is sustained on a delicate balance of varied religions, ethnicity and language denominations. It has evolved over centuries of slow and steady assimilation in a synergic manner. Hindu Assamese population have been the dominant force in all aspects to which all groups have contributed to form a common culture while retaining their own identity offering a true example of unity in diversity. Now, this delicate balance is on the brink of being disturbed by transplantation of large scale illegal population It is a matter of pride that the country has achieved near total self-sufficiency in the manufacture of excuses. Let the habitual India baiters take note of this no mean achievement. Drastic reduction in milk production. It is those miserable cows. They keep butting out stockmen every time they go to milk them and this has resulted in a shortfall of 50 million litres per day. Failure to win even a single gold medal in the Olympics. It is those sharp cinders on the running track. They keep getting into the athletes corns and the poor fellows hurt so! Record increase in the number of unemployed youth. The fault direct- Just in context, there isn t much support for cow worship in ancient Hindu texts (Ramayana and Mahabharata), nor among Hindu scholars like Swami Vivekananda (Madurai lecture) or V.D. Savarkar (Samagra Savarkar Vangmaya). Swami Vivekananda: There was a time in this very India when, without eating beef, no Brahmin could remain a Brahmin; you read in the Vedas how, when a Sanyasin, a king, or a While the lynching of minorities is largely political, the caste and ethnic violence and honour killings are social systemic. While the crowd created by political parties with a purpose indulges in violence, the unorganised association of people carries out the killing on certain faulty premises. great man came into a house, the best bullock was killed; how in time it was found that as we were an agricultural race, killing the best bulls meant annihilation of the race. Savarkar was dismissive of cow worship: Let the movement for cow protection be based and popularised on clear-cut economic and scientific principles, and not on religious attributes." The mindset of plain bigotry to avoid a cab driven by a Muslim or not to be serviced by a Muslim delivery boy to lynching 'the other' on the basis of rumours runs from Bangladesh-both Hindus and Muslims- but all Bengalis. The current exercise of revising the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam under the aegis of the Supreme Court of India is a step forward in the right direction for filtering out the names of illegal immigrants who will be hopefully expelled from Assam in due course. If that is done with efficacy, the Assamese people will be greatly relieved albeit the alarming growth of the genuine Muslim population will remain an Achilles' heel in the contemporary Assamese psyche. Furthermore, the arbitrary cut-off date of March 25, 1971 agreed to in the Assam accord gives carte blanche to all illegal immigrants to Assam up to March 24, This made Assam already bear the burden of millions of illegal Bangladeshis-Hindus and Muslims alike- who came before March 25, Additionally, the current tension resulting from the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposing to give Indian citizenship to all illegal Hindu Bangladeshi immigrants on a communal basis, will deal a very damaging blow to the aspirations of the Assamese people as to its identity. It will essentially force the NRC to be rewritten to the detriment of the interests of the people of Assam. The final NRC draft will be out very soon. The number for registered citizens arrived at may not be palatable to all because of differing perceptions of illegal immigration count. A particularly sensitive subject is the abnormal growth of the Muslim population in Assam. During the period 2001 to 2011, the Hindu population in Assam grew % whereas the Muslim population grew a whopping %. This high growth of the Muslims is partly due to high birth rate among the Muslims because of lack of education, economic status and social pressures, especially, in the backward areas. So it will not be surprising if the NRC identifies less number of illegal Muslim immigrants than some expected as the baseline date of reference is March 25, 1971 as per Assam Accord. Excuses all the way ly rests on the out-of-work youngsters. Instead of staying at home reading comics and watching TV, they go and register in the Employment Exchanges and inflating the statistics. Sharp reduction in foodgrain output. It is those pesky sparrows. They keep pecking at the ripe stalks and leading to a shortfall of 100 million tonnes. Record rise in rail accidents. The railways are committed to time bound technological upgradation and it so happens that two express trains travelling at 110 kms an hour get on the same The last word S RAGHUNATH exactly opposite to the famed Indian value of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is my family), which PM Modi declared as a guiding principle of his government. Refusal to take note of, or delayed condemnation of sectarian violence, by those in positions of power, signal tolerance of such activity. The changing narrative in the Modi-Shah-Yogi era leads to Taj Mahal ceasing to be an architectural marvel and becoming a symbol of Muslim invasion and conquest. Every inter-faith marriage becomes an instance of love jihad. Love is turned into the fodder of hatred. The more people show acceptance of the current style of aggressive bravado and blatant use of lies and abuse in public discourse, more they become insensitive to others; and then they also become more likely to turn into brutes at any opportunity of lynching. And the irony is that both the people who are lynching and who are lynched belong to the same strata of society Lower middle class or poor. In independent India we saw this mob violence in its ugliest form in the 1984 killings of the innocent Sikhs in Delhi by the goons of Congress. Every political party encourages this mob violence. Each political party criticises mob violence only when the mob does not subscribe to their ideology or is not affiliated to them. And today, there is a natural, near-universal suspicion that the BJP is actually quite happy with the Hindu vote consolidation that Muslim hunting might bring about. The other serious aspect is the role of social media, specially Facebook, and messaging service WhatsApp. The police now say that gory WhatsApp images of cows and blood flamed passions ahead of the Dadri lynching. Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Baghpat and Meerut -- the violence of 2013 was made possible because of the sprinkling of hatred spewed via the visual-text communications. Same goes on today in Alwar, Hapur, Assam. Has any action related to the source of these images and messages circulated on WhatsApp been taken by UP or Rajasthan or the central home ministry? Political parties and social organisations should make special efforts to prevent incidences of public violence. All cow protection gangs involved in terrorizing and lynching be banned. Cow protection laws which give a legal fig leaf to such gangs should be repealed all over India. Police and Courts should take an unambiguous stand against lynching and perpetrators punished at the earliest. As in the case of sexual violence, a special law should be made against lynching and given wide publicity to make people aware of legal punishments. If corrective measures are not taken today, the acceptance of lynching on perceived righteousness will permeate the social fabric soon and it will be tough to reverse the process later.

The ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) temple authority here also celebrated the festival by pulling a mini Kang along the Airport Road. Almost all localities of the State s valley areas also celebrated Kang festival, besides cet Global Health, showed that cardiovascular diseases, comprising mostly ischaemic heart disease and stroke, accounted for more than 2.1 million deaths in India in 2015 at all ages, or more than a quarter of all deaths. The finding that cardiac disease rose nationally in India and that stroke rose in some States was surprising, said Prabhat Jha, Professor at University of Toronto, in Canada. The study also unearthed an important fact for prevention of death due to cardiovascular diseases. Most deaths were among people with previously known cardiac disease, and at least half were not taking any regular medications, he added. For the research, the team examined 4,72,113 deaths of individuals older than 15 years from 2001 to 2013, including 1,11,977 deaths due to cardiovascular disease 68,904 adult men (61.5 per cent) and 43,073 women (38.5 per cent). High-burden States for male stroke deaths were Assam, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, and the Northeastern States (Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya), and high-burden States for female stroke deaths were Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Northeastern States. At ages years, of the 1.3 million cardiovascular deaths, 0.9 million (68.4 per cent) were caused by ischaemic heart disease and 0.4 million (28 per cent) by stroke. Moreover, in less than two decades, ischaemic heart disease mortality in rural India has surged and surpassed that of urban areas, whereas stroke mortality has diverged across geographical areas. As per World Health Organisation estimates, India accounts for just over a fifth of cardiovascular disease deaths worldwide, where heart disease develops a decade earlier in life compared with highincome countries. Without progress in India against cardiovascular diseases, the Sustainable Development Goals to reduce cardiovascular disease and non-communicable disease mortality by 2030 will be difficult to achieve, Jha said. IANS Kang festival begins in Manipur holding religious rituals in the evenings at mandaps and community halls. The festival, which will conclude on July 22, will also witness daily community feasts. Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has greeted the people of Manipur especially the Hindus on the occasion of the festival. I join the people of Manipur in the celebration of Kang and pray to God Jagannath to shower the State with joy, prosperity and peaceful co-existence among all communities, he said in a message.

NSF wants compulsory NAAC evaluation for Nagaland colleges CORRESPONDENT DIMAPUR, July 14: Naga Students Federation (NSF) wants Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to make it mandatory for all colleges in the State to undergo evaluation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The apex students body of the State made the suggestion, along with five others, in a representation to the Chief Minister to improve college education in the State. The copy of the representation was made available to the media on Saturday. It made the suggestions after undertak- Underdog Croatia has strong support in Meghalaya RAJU DAS SHILLONG, July 14: The monthlong carnival, the FIFA World Cup, is coming to a close and no event can be bigger than the finals itself in which a large section of people in football-crazy Meghalaya are supporting the underdog Croatia. From politicians, bureaucrats, artists and the common men on the street, most seem to be having a soft corner for Croatia. The World Cup not only brings together on the turf the best in the business every four years, but also tells stories of men who fought extreme conditions to reach the top of their game and people readily connect with them. The Croatians, the Icelandic team are just a few examples. ing educational tours to various colleges and sought a written reply from the Chief Minister within 20 days. It said the Central Government has changed its pattern and mode of funding of colleges depending on their performance and added that, therefore, all colleges should be evaluated by NAAC in order to account for quality and standard education. Touching on the matter of grant-in-aid to private colleges, NSF said till the academic year 2014, colleges had been receiving a nominal amount of financial assistance in the form of grantin-aid from the Department of Higher Education. The beautiful game However, since the academic year 2015, the said grant has been drastically slashed to a meagre amount (almost up to 80 per cent out of the total amount received in 2014). The NSF wanted that the government allocate more funds in the form of grant-in-aid to the colleges. Pointing out that the Department of Higher Education has appointed several assistant professors on contract basis in government colleges, the students body lamented that the salary paid to them is just a meagre amount. Taking in consideration the workload and services rendered by the assistant professors, the NSF appealed to the State Government Research must be priority of universities GUWAHATI, July 14: Research and innovation must be the priority for all universities. This was stated here today by Prof PK Das, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Guwahati. He was addressing about 70 PhD scholars at the orientation programme organised by University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, a press release said. Another key speaker in the programme was Prof Desmond Kharmawphlang, Department of Cultural and Creative Studies, NEHU, Shillong. Speaking to the gathering, Prof Das said, Research is something which happens spontaneously. One must be extremely thorough and consistent during research. Any PhD research output must be of some kind of help to the community and society, he asserted. Prof Kharmawphlang, a renowned folklorist, said that a thoroughfare mind is very crucial for research. PhD calls for a lot of obligations, commitment and dedication, he added. As a Nation, Croatia faced lots of hardship. The stories of some of the players are inspiring. They have brought this fighting spirit on the field and competing with the top footballing nations. I would love to see them lift the World Cup, Frederick Roy Kharkongor, Chief Electoral Officer said. This sentiment is complimented by musician, Lou Majaw. If Croatia wins it would balance out the gap, he says. Similarly, former Home Minister, RG Lyngdoh says that he always had a soft corner for underdogs. Let there be a new champion, he cheered. Director General of Police, SB Singh too wants the underdog Croatia to win. Let them win this time, Singh said. Taxi driver Bah Hep will be cheering for Croatia and honk his vehicle through the town if they win. Why? They are fighters like me. They don t give up. Even after being one goal down against England they fought hard and won. I like this kind of teams, the cabbie said. Psychologists have several theories why some of us or many love underdogs. One of the many theories being: many of us identify ourselves as underdogs and deep down have this feeling that we can achieve much more. Moreover, unexpected success gives more joy than the predictable ones, like France a strong team winning the World Cup again is okay, but a lower ranked Croatia wining is simply a fantastic news. There are other theories which say that the issue of underdogs doing well also gives some of us an opportunity to address the, perceived or real, unfairness in this world and like Majaw said balance this unfairness to some extent. Football World Cup has the largest viewership amongst all the sporting events in the world. This viewership would increase substantially on Sunday. People across continents from different race, religion, communities, and languages would be taking sides and the better team between Croatia and France would lift the trophy. On Sunday it s not about Croatia or France, but as Pele described O Jogo Bonito or the Beautiful Game would be the winner by unifying people across the globe for one month, despite differences and that is one huge Goal successfully achieved. to review and enhance their salary. Referring to the Cabinet meeting on July 5 last on approval for creation of 110 assistant professors posts in various colleges under Department of Higher Education, NSF demanded that all posts should be requisitioned to Nagaland Public Service Commission. It also demanded strict adherence to the laid down norms of recruitment. Further, expressing concern over study materials available in college libraries, the NSF stated that all the government-run colleges in the State do not receive any materials for their libraries. 2 held in Manipur IMPHAL, July 14: Two persons, including one militant, were arrested from different areas of Manipur, police said.

UB Photos Changing face of tea industry over the years AJIT PATOWARY GUWAHATI, July 14: Though tea garden workers are mostly drawn from amongst the tea tribe communities, nowadays some Assamese, Nepali, Bodo and Bengali people are also working in the tea estates (TEs) as workers. Significantly, in some areas, Bangladeshorigin Muslim migrants are also joining the TE workforce in growing numbers, said senior tea planter Pranab Kumar Sarma. He was talking to this newspaper. But, despite various efforts, productivity in the area of plucking is getting reduced day by day to the growing consternation of the tea industry. The British tea planters brought the forefathers of today s tea workers from Odisha, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Madras under the Workmen s Breach of Contract Act In 1870, the Sardari system was introduced to control this workforce. Since 1932, recruitment of the workers started under the Emigrant Labour Act It is gathered from the notes prepared by Prof P C Bora of the Assam Agricultural University (AAU) CORRESPONDENT in 1970, that in 1841, the State had 652 tea workers and between 1859 and 1861, their number grew to 2,272. Between 1861 and 1862, there were 2,569 workers in the State s TEs. This number grew to 84,915 between 1863 and Their number grew further to reach the figure of 4,19,841 between 1887 and 1926 and it reached the figure of 15, 8,076 between 1838 and In the pre-independence era, there was no statutory rule and regulation in the TEs for the welfare of the tea workers. The workers were in very poor shape of health and only a few licensed medical practitioner (LMP) category of doctors were there in the TE hospitals. In , there were about two lakh tea community children in the school going age group. But only about 4000 among them attended schools. The literacy rate among the tea workers was very deplorable and their living standard was also poor. However, they could remain spirited because of their sticking to their traditional cultural activities. According to the 1989 information available from DN Barua of the Tea Research Association, between 1885 and 1889, the area under tea Raij Mel organised at Pobitora Haat cultivation in the State was 85.4 hectares. In 1924, the size of the area under tea plantation grew to 167 hectares. Between 1885 and 1889, the State had produced 30.3 million kgs of tea, and, in 1924, it could produce million kgs of tea. No reliable record on the cost of tea production in the State is available for the pre-independence era. The British planters used to make the industry profitable by selling the teas at London and Calcutta Auction Centres at remunerative prices. After Independence, lakh people were engaged in this industry in 1950 and according to the 2011 census lakh of the State's people, which constitutes 17 per cent of its total population, were engaged in this industry. About two dozen legislations have been enforced on the industry in the post- Independence period to ensure welfare of the tea workers. The factories of the TEs were mechanised during the past few years and productivity has improved in the factories. The productivity of the TE factory workers is about 100 kg per worker or more as against the 45 kgs per worker or less in the 1970s, said Sarma.

The tea gardens are Beesakopie, Daimukhia, Raidang, Samdang, Koomsong, Bordubi and Phillobari. Since the new company took over these eight gardens, the company authority ordered the managers of these gardens to produce at least 70% orthodox tea in their gardens. Consequently, the managers of these eight gardens stopped buying green tea leaves from the small tea growers. The previous owner of these gardens made an agreement with the small tea growers of buying green leaf from them as per proposal given by ABITA. But the new owner of these gardens abruptly cancelled those agreements and stopped buying leaves from the small tea growers. Moreover, these gardens owe crores of rupees to the small tea growers for purchasing their green leaves since April this year. The green leaf providers urged the company to clear their outstanding dues within July 15 or they would take up an agitational programme.

PTI Bihar set to get cheapest drinking water PATNA, July 14: An innovative cost-effective drinking water project in Bihar promises to lower the price of onelitre bottle to 50 paise. The project launched on Saturday in Darbhanga by Sulabh International will convert contaminated pond water into safe drinking water. Sulabh Jal will be made available through various stages of purification. It can offer safe drinking water from any water body such as a river or pond, said a statement from the social service organization. Founder of Sulabh International Bindeshwar Pathak on Saturday laid the foundation stone for the project at Haribol Pond on Darbhanga Nagar Nigam premises. The project work will start soon. By December it will be functional, Pathak said. The new water purification process will cost around Rs 20 lakh and it has a capacity to produce 8,000 litres of potable water per day at a nominal cost. Local people and NGOs are going to maintain it. It is a selfsustainable project with active participation of the community. It will also generate employment, he said. Groundwater in many districts of Bihar has been severely affected by arsenic and other chemical contamination. IANS Centre may.. (Contd from page 1) almost certain that the Bill would not come for consideration during the Monsoon Session of the Parliament. MHA sources also pointed out that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has already made it clear that the Bill would not be imposed against the wishes of the people and under the circumstances, the government will take a decision only after receiving the JPC report. At the same time, the government is also trying to obtain the views of a cross section of people separately. Meanwhile, the All Assam Students Union (AASU) has asserted that the agitation against the Bill would continue till it is withdrawn. AASU chief adviser Samujjal Bhattacharya said the student body and 28 organizations representing the ethnic groups of the State would continue their agitation till the Bill as well as the notifications issued in this regard in 2014 are withdrawn. Rajnath... (Contd from page 1) possible due to some nations in the region. During the meeting, Hasina said that Bangladesh and India have so far settled several outstanding issues, including the land and boundary agreement, through dialogue. We expect that the other issues will be sorted out through talks as well, she added. Hasina reiterated Bangladesh s stand of not allowing its soil to be used by terrorists to carry out their activities against any other country. After his meeting with Hasina, Singh along with his Bangladeshi counterpart Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal inaugurated the largest Indian visa centre in the world at Dhaka s Jamuna Future Park. The new integrated state-of-the-art Indian Visa Application Centre (IVAC), spread in an 18,500 sq feet commercial area, will replace all the existing centres (Motijheel, Uttara, Gulshan and Mirpur Road) in Dhaka in two phases. Bangladeshis constitute one of the largest number of visitors from a single country to India. Last year, India had issued 1.4 million visas to Bangladeshi nationals, BD News reported.

Further, the Assam transport department, despite taking part in several rounds of meeting, has not been able to fix the fare for the bus trip. The last meeting was held in Kolkata where officials from Assam and Bangladesh participated. There is no clear word on the bus service. Meghalaya, which was seen as the stumbling block for many in the entire chain, has edged out Assam, official sources told The Assam Tribune. ASTC Managing Director AP Tiwari, when contacted, said that it might take another two-three months to streamline the nitty-gritty of the proceedings. He, however, did concede that the travel fare remains to be fixed.

The coordinators nominated by the conclave for leading the proposed movement against the Bill include Golap Baruah alias Anup Chetia and Lachit Bordoloi from Assam, Patal Kanya Jamatia and Nandalal Jamatia from Tripura, Tage Lapung and Tadar Tarish from Arunachal Pradesh, Longjam Ratankumar and Bishanjit Loitongbam from Manipur and Neingulo Krome and N Venuh from Nagaland. ULFA leader Golap Baruah alias Anup Chetia, who too was one of the organizers of the conclave, told this newspaper that the indigenous people of Meghalaya could not send their representatives to the conclave due to some problems, while the indigenous people of Mizoram failed to send their representatives due to heavy landslides blocking their main roads. But the indigenous peoples of both these states have sent letters supporting the conclave, Baruah said. Kovind nominates 4 to Rajya Sabha NEW DELHI, July 14: President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday nominated four eminent people, including noted classical dancer Sonal Mansingh and sculptor Raghunath Mohapatra, to the Rajya Sabha. The nominations which came four days ahead of the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament also include three-time MP Ram Shakal and author Rakesh Sinha. The opposition is expected to press for early elections to the post of Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman during the monsoon session as the post fell vacant after retirement of PJ Kurien on July 1. IANS 4 missing after boat capsizes VIJAYAWADA, July 14: Four persons went missing while about 20 others were rescued after a boat capsized in Godavari River in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday, eye-witnesses said.

The boat carrying over 20 people, mostly students, capsized after hitting a pillar of an under construction bridge. IANS Govt committed to protecting SC/ ST Act: Athawale HYDERABAD, July 14: The Centre is committed to protecting the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against any dilution and has filed a review petition on the Supreme Court s order on the issue, Union minister Ramdas Athawale said today. In a bid to protect honest public servants discharging bonafide duties from being blackmailed with false cases under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, the Supreme Court on March 20 diluted its stringent provisions mandating immediate arrest under the law. The government s role is to give full protection to the Act, the Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment told reporters. He said Union Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawarchand Gehlot is looking into the issue and an ordinance to protect the Act is also being thought of. Batting for a law to protect reservation in promotions, Athawale, the president of Republican Party of India (A), said his party favoured providing quota to communities who are not socially backward, but economically weak, without touching the existing reservations. You don t touch the reservation of SC, ST and OBC. But, you give reservation to those communities who are not socially backward, but those families (who) are economically backward. You can give reservation to these families, he said, adding the total percentage of reservation can be increased for the purpose. Athawale claimed that though several opposition parties are planning to come together against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the Lok Sabha polls next year, they will not be able to make an impact as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a strong leader. Drawing a parallel with the Indian cricket team, he said, Narendra Modi is Virat Kohli and I am Rohit Sharma. Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi for his safeguarding the Constitution campaign, Athawale said there is no problem with the Constitution and the Congress president should try to save his party instead.

The company has made an investment of Rs 200 crore in the past two years to set up K-12 schools and upgrade facilities. The future capital expenditure will be funded through debt and internal accruals, Rajan said, adding that the company is also exploring options to tap private equity funding or public offer for its future funding requirements. The PE investors namely Gaja Capital and Partner s Group of Switzerland have majority stake in the company, Rajan added. EuroKids International acquired the Kangaroo Kids preschool chain and Billabong High International Schools in fiscal 2018 through a mix of debt and cash balance. The company also plans to offer daycare facilities at corporate workplaces and at its franchisee centres. It has commenced daycare facilities at IIM-Indore and SBI s Nerul premises. It clocked a turnover of Rs 350 crore in FY18 and targets Rs 450 crore turnover in FY19, Rajan said. PTI held to be anti-competitive. Three pharma companies Glenmark, Divine Saviour Pvt Ltd and Hetero Healthcare Ltd have been fined.

Glenmark, Divine, Hetero and BM Thakkar have to pay a total penalty of Rs crore. Also, three officials of Glenmark and one of BM Thakkar have been slapped with a fine of Rs 88,386.

Their officebearers will have to dish out a total penalty of Rs 2.22 lakh. The order has come on separate complaints filed by four entities engaged in the distribution of medicines in Gujarat. Despite several orders of the Commission proscribing the anti-competitive practices of State and regional chemists and druggists associations in inter alia mandating NOC for appointment of stockists and stringent penalties imposed upon them, it is found that these associations are continuing to indulge in these practices, the latest order, dated July 12, said. Further, the regulator said provisions of the Competition Act and spirit of competition seem to be of least priority to these associations, who only believe in disturbing the fair competition through their unfair means.

The new study, led by Aditi Das from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US, showed that when the human body metabolises omega-3 fatty acids, it produces a class of molecules called endocannabinoid epoxides, or EDP-EAs. These have anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit cancer s growth and spread. The EDP-EAs have similar properties to cannabinoids found in marijuana but without the psychotropic effects and they target the same receptor in the body that cannabis does. We have a built-in endocannabinoid system which is anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing. Now we see it is also anti-cancer, stopping the cells from proliferating or migrating, said study leader Aditi Das from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. These molecules could address multiple problems: cancer, inflammation and pain, Das added. For the study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the team studied the effect of the molecule in mice with tumours of osteosarcoma a bone cancer that is not only painful but also difficult to treat. The results showed that the endocannabinoids slowed the growth of tumours and blood vessels, inhibited the cancer cells from migrating and caused cancer cell death. The higher concentrations of EDP-EAs did kill cancer cells, but not as effectively as other chemotherapeutic drugs on the market. But, the compounds slowed tumour growth by inhibiting new blood vessels from forming to supply the tumour with nutrients. They also prevented interactions between the cells, and most significantly, they appeared to stop cancerous cells from migrating. While dietary consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to EDP-EAs, for those with cancer, something concentrated and fast acting is needed, Das said. That s where the endocannabinoid epoxide derivatives come into play you could make a concentrated dose of the exact compound that s most effective against the cancer. You could also mix this with other drugs such as chemotherapies, she added. IANS 13:00 Food Tech 14:00 Modern Marvels 15:00 Omg!

15 SUNDAY, JULY 15, 2018 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI, SPORTS 15 Croatia stand between Mbappe s France and WC glory TODAY S MATCH AT PM FRANCE vs CROATIA Croatian captain Luka Modric (center) and his teammates warm up during a training session in Moscow, Russia. AP/PTI MOSCOW, July 14: A month on and 63 games later, the 2018 World Cup reaches its climax tomorrow as a young France side spearheaded by Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann look to win the trophy for the second time when they take on Croatia in Moscow. ST PETERSBURG, July 14: Belgium beat England 2-0 in the World Cup third-place play-off on Saturday to secure their best ever finish at a World Cup and send Gareth Southgate s side home with a second straight loss. A fourth-minute goal from Thomas Meunier and an 82nd minute Eden Hazard strike earned Belgium the victory and the third-place, which improves on their previous best performance of a fourth-place finish in England were on top for most of the second half but with captain Harry Kane looking tired, Belgium s greater sharpness in the final third proved decisive. Meunier s goal came after Romelu Lukaku swung the ball out left to Nacer Chadli who burst down the wing and slipped the ball across the face of the goal and the midfielder confidently slotted past Jordan Pickford. It is a final very few people could have anticipated four weeks ago, when the competition in Russia was just beginning. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar have all gone home. So have the traditional powers of the international game Germany, Brazil and Argentina. Instead it is a gifted French side with the second-youngest squad at the tournament, embodied by the lightning-quick Mbappe, who face a Croatian team inspired by Luka Modric, arguably the finest midfielder in the world at the moment. Perhaps many neutrals will be disappointed that it has not come down to a clash between two genuine giants of the game, or that there is no South American presence. It is just the second time that none of Brazil, Germany, Italy or Argentina have made the final, after Spain s win over the Netherlands in A tournament that will be remembered for the colourful presence of hordes of Latin American supporters has a final between two European sides after the continent exerted its power in the latter stages. But this is still the World Cup final, and for France there is the possibility to join Argentina and Uruguay in winning the trophy for the second time, after Back then, Didier Deschamps was the captain. Now he is the coach, and he can become just the third man to win the trophy as a player and a manager, after Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer. A World Cup final, it s a bit like a boyhood dream coming true, said midfielder Blaise Matuidi. AFP Confident Belgium outwit England 2-0 to secure third place Griezmann happy if France win World Cup ugly ISTRA (Russia), July 14: France forward Antoine Griezmann said Friday winning the World Cup against Croatia on Sunday was more important than how his team do it. Belgium players criticised the tactics France used in their 1-0 semifinal win as Didier Deschamps team sat deep and Samuel Umtiti s headed goal came from a corner, but Griezmann dismissed the criticism. I don t care. I want the star (on my shirt for World Cup winners). If I get that star, I don t care about how we play, the 27-year-old Atletico Madrid forward told a press conference at France s training base outside Moscow. Griezmann said he had changed the way he plays for France in order to benefit the team. He finished top scorer at Euro 2016 with six goals but France lost the final to Cristiano Ronaldo s Portugal on home soil. He has scored three goals in Russia, two from penalties and one largely thanks to a goalkeeping howler from Uruguay s Fernando Muslera, but he has also contributed two assists. I was top scorer but we lost, so I said to myself: I am going to score less to see if we can win. My game is changing, now I am more likely to dictate the rhythm or hold onto the ball. AFP MOSCOW, July 14: Stereotypeshattering, stunningly warm a trip to Russia for the FIFA World Cup was largely a pleasant surprise for those touching down from the west but for thousands of tourists from a country which didn t even have a team of its own to cheer for, it was usual warmth. I am from India, that s all one need say to unlatch the Russian warmth, which has now bowled over the world at large after years of scepticism based on the mystique of Soviet era. From wide smiles to generous discounts, nostalgic Russians, who still aren t over their love for Raj Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty, go an extra mile when they hear an Indian voice calling out for directions, shopping or mere chit-chat. I love India, the food, the people, the movies, the colours. Discount for them always, said a shopkeeper selling traditional Matryoshka dolls, which are among the most prominent symbols of Russian culture. The goal means Belgium have had 10 different goalscorers at this World Cup equalling the record set by France in 1982 and Italy in While England manager Gareth Southgate made five changes to the side which lost to Croatia, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez made just two switches. Meunier returned from suspension and Youri Tielemans given a start ahead of Maroune Fellaini in midfield with the Belgians fielding their strong front three of Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard. De Bruyne should have made it 2-0 in the 12th minute when the ball found him at the back post after a slip-up from John Stones, but his poorly struck shot was easily dealt with by Pickford. Kane, the tournament s top scorer with six goals, had an opportunity when set up by Raheem Sterling in Belgium s Kevin De Bruyne (C) and Dries Mertens (R), celebrate with Eden Hazard after Hazard scored his side s second goal in St Petersburg, on Saturday. AP/ PTI Moscow Mystique: where India is key to unlocking Russian warmth Russian people have a special affection for India. They are always extended extra warmth, added a tour guide, who has had a busier-than-usual one month thanks to the huge influx of fans for the World Cup. The tourist flow from India rose by a conservative estimate of 20 to 30 per cent for the FIFA World Cup, according to prominent travel agencies. Russian news agency Sputnik pegged the hike in ticket bookings by Indians at an audacious 400 per cent based on feedback from a travel agency World Cup was a big success: Local organisers MOSCOW, July 14: The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia has been a resounding success, according to the Local Organising Committees chairman and Russian Vice Prime Minister, Arkady Dvorkovich, who on Saturday praised the work done across the country s 12 host cities. The majority of the heavy lifting in terms of logistics is nearly complete; all that remains is the third-place playoff pitting Belgium against England later Saturday, followed by the Croatia- France final on Sunday, reports Efe. Based on the feedback, Russia s World Cup was a real success. This is the opinion of the fans, those who traveled across the country and the opinion of the TV audience, Dvorkovich said during a press conference. The cities coped both in terms of hospitality and security. The most im- the 24th minute but was off-balance as he screwed his shot wide. Southgate brought on Marcus Rashford for Sterling and Jesse Lingard for Danny Rose at the break and the change worked well, with England well on top in the second half. Toby Alderweireld was forced to clear an Eric Dier effort off his line at full stretch after a neat exchange between the Tottenham midfielder and Rashford ended with a chip over Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois. Dier and then Harry Maguire both headed wide from promising positions, while at thee other end Meunier went close to a second with a powerful volley that Pickford did well to save. But the game was wrapped up when De Bruyne burst from midfield and slipped the ball through to Hazard, who glided past Phil Jones and fired into the bottom corner. Agencies portant thing is that our citizens showed that Russia is an open and friendly country, he added. Arkady Dvorkovich, director Local organisation committee of Russia 2018 speaks during press conference in Moscow, on Saturday. This, despite the fact that India does not have a team of its own at the World Cup and is unlikely to have one for some time to come. Russia is always a welcoming place for Indians. The westerners are now realising how warm the Russian people are but for us Indians, we know it for a long time. It s always great to be here whether there is a World Cup or not, said one Indian tourist, who is here to catch the extravaganza that gets over this Sunday but is also a frequent traveller to the Russian capital for business dealings. Moscow alone has been paid a visit by over three million global tourists, according to the historic city s head of Department of Sport and Tourism, Nikolay Gulyaev. The Indians, however, don t figure among the top-five in numbers this summer which are dominated by German, Dutch and French nationals. But there is no denying that they (Indians) have the pride of place in Russian hearts. You can link it to Bollywood or the Soviet era close political Local Organizing Committee CEO Alexey Sorokin highlighted how well Russia handled the massive influx of World Cup supporters, saying Airports processed a total of 15 million passengers during the World Cup, it s mindblowing. Over 300,000 passengers used the free trains. Around 7 million people attended the fan fests. Our guests are happy and returning home with warm feelings. We were pleasantly surprised with the 98 per cent attendance rate at the matches. We showed to the whole world that we love football and we are the country of football, he added. Sorokin also highlighted his national team s brilliant performance that brought them to their first-ever World Cup quarterfinals, where they lost to Croatia on a penalty shootout. IANS ties, but it is special, said a tour operator here. Among the Indian celebrities, mega-star Amitabh Bachchan was there in St Petersburg to catch the first semifinal between France and Belgium and his lesser-seen and known Bollywood colleague Fardeen Khan was among the over 78,000 who filled in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow for the second semifinal between Croatia and England. They were among the thousands who descended to catch the greatest show on earth where India s onfield presence is at best a pipedream right now. But Moscow ended up offering so much more than just football. The sites, the history, the food and of course the affection is unforgettable. I ll be back to explore more, said an Indian tourist, draped in a tri-colour, as he headed in to watch England lose to Croatia in the historic second semifinal at the Luzhniki. PTI Modric says Croatia squad must be calm under pressure MOSCOW, July 14: Croatia captain Luka Modric on Saturday said his team would work to stay calm under pressure and focus on overcoming France in the final match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Croatia has a chance to win its first World Cup title in Sunday s final, as their previous best-ever result was finishing in third place at the 1998 World Cup, the same tournament in which hosts France won their first title, reported Efe. We have to leave emotions aside and give more than we ve given on the pitch in the previous matches, because it s the (World Cup) final, Modric said during a press conference. Should his team win the title, the Real Madrid midfielder said it would be dedicated to the late Croatian goalkeeper Ivan Turina, who died five years ago at just 32 years old, and to all the people of the country. Modric added that, in the minutes before Sunday s final, he would evoke the message to go out and enjoy the game, given by the late Barcelona coach Johann Cruyff to his team right before their 1992 UEFA Champions League championship match. That is the same message our coach transmits to us. Zlatko Dalic wants us to have fun and to enjoy playing football, he added. Tipped to win the award for the best player of the World Cup as well as the Ballon d Or, given his performance throughout the tournament, Modric said an individual award is not a priority, adding: I want my team to win tomorrow. The other things are out of my control. IANS Final will not change my perspective of team MOSCOW, July 14: Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said on Saturday that he would be proud of his team regardless of the outcome of their 2018 FIFA World Cup final clash against France. Dalic spoke at a press conference on the eve of Sunday s first-ever World Cup final for Croatia, reports Efe. Tomorrow everyone will be watching us, and I will just say: Go and play your best football, Dalic said in the press conference held at Luzhniki Stadium, the venue for the final. The players are prepared to compete with dignity, the Bosnian coach said, adding If we win the trophy, no one will be more proud than us. And if we lose, we will congratulate our opponent. We are here to enjoy this final. Dalic, who was appointed as Croatia s head coach in October 2017, said the best (team) will win, so he asked his players to fight and give their best. Whether we win or lose, tomorrow a big thing will happen in Croatia. We are motivated and confident that we will be able to see 4.5 million people celebrating the victory, he added. He downplayed the fact that Croatia goalkeeper Danijel Subasic, defenders Dejan Lovren, Ivan Strinic and Sime Vrsaljko and winger Ivan Perisic missed Friday s training, saying: At this point there is nothing to train. Rather we should save energy. IANS Originating from Japan, su do ku is a mind game and a puzzle that can be solved with proper reasoning and logic.

As the openers started to play more shots and boundaries flowed, India brought on Hardik Pandya (1/70) into the attack in only the fifth over. The move didn t yield any result as the all-rounder was taken for 21 runs in his first two-over spell. Chahal (1/43) was then introduced into the attack in the ninth over, followed by Kuldeep two overs later and the latter struck with his second ball in the 11th over. Kuldeep bowled Bairstow as the batsman went for a sweep and the ball hit the stumps after ricocheting off his pads. England were then reduced to 86 for 2 as Kuldeep picked up his second wicket in 12 balls as Roy was caught in the deep trying to clear the fence.

17 GUWAHATI JULY 15, 2018 WOMEN PLUS Parinita Datta profiles a young changemaker. MY SPACE Dr. Tapati Baruah Kashyap draws upon the memoir of a river. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED Mitra Phukan on the absence of a mother s identity. Inspiring initiative An initiative that has taken root in the North-East is making news at the national level as it collaborates with several Indie fashion brands across the country. North East Project (NEP) is the brainchild of Harjoth Singh, the Director at Impulse Social Enterprises, based in Shillong. Impulse Social Enterprises, in collaboration with Brewhouse, a creative agency based in Delhi, has been working towards making this initiative a success. NEP uses hand-woven, North-East textiles to shape designed apparels and accessories, with the objective of augmenting the income of the weavers. They integrate multiple sustainability priorities, including ethical sourcing and zero-textile waste into the conscious creation process. NEP spontaneously works on creative improvisations to find enticing design harmonies which are heavily inspired by the cultural cornucopia of the North-East. The Assamese, Bhoi, Karbi, Idu Mishmi, Mishing and the Mizo tribes of the North-East are involved in pro- ducing artisan products for the NEP. The handlooms and the processes using which they are produced are traditional. The designs are unique to the tribes and these artisans use the warp and weft technique to produce the textiles, which are then transformed into fashion wear. Their approach to their designs, in terms of the accessories and apparels, is very modern, making their items the perfect fusion of the contemporary and the age-old traditions. The artisans now produce table mats, multi-style scarves, cotton stoles, bags, pouches and laptop sleeves. Impulse Social Enterprises, which is a subsidiary of the Impulse NGO Network, works towards empowering traditional artisans by ensuring a sustainable livelihood for them, while also ensuring that indigenous textiles can flourish and garner the attention they deserve. The Impulse NGO Network, founded by Hasina Kharbhih in 1987, wanted to ensure that local artisans across the Northeastern states do not lose their livelihood as they observed that a lot of women and children were pushed into the vicious web of human ANGARIKA GOGOI writes about a project that is taking local textiles to the global market. trafficking. Trafficking, at that time, was not recognised as a widespread issue. Therefore, they sought to build a foundation of trust and a rapport to investigate instances of missing children and women. The NEP has a very unique business model where they try to achieve their goal of social development not through fund-raising or aid, but through the instrument of trade, where they enable the tribes they work with to become self-sufficient. Harjoth Singh, the founder of the initiative, said, I spent a brief amount of time with an NE social enterprise where the circumstances surrounding the victims of human trafficking were a real eye-opener for me. It became quite clear that if income levels in rural communities could be raised via private sector intervention, the vulnerability of locals to the perils of human trafficking could be substantially reduced. It was this realisation that seeded the NEP idea, although our mandate has clearly expanded substantially since. They came out with their first collection, Cut from the Same Cloth where they collaborated with design talents such as Nor Black Nor White (NBNW), Bhane, Safomasi, Fizzy Goblet, 1701, Jarem.label, Baroque, and House of Hannah, in the creation of bespoke apparel, accessories, and footwear. Fizzy Goblet and NEP created two final jutti concepts which were almost certainly the first juttis ever made with hand-woven Northeastern textile. They were well-received by the market. With NBNW, they created two Mexican Siesta suits comprising freesize tops and skirts with very bohochic vibes. This ensemble effectively showcased a unique cross-cultural and international translation of these hand-woven NE textiles in a light that they have never previously been presented. Safomasi took existing table mats and added tea picker motifs for a table mat and napkin set. With the 1701 brand, they created a tasteful suite of accessories, including wallets, passport cases, baggage tags and travel kits. This collection was particularly well-received by the Jaya He store at the Mumbai International Airport, for which NEP is a preferred supplier. Whatever revenue the NEP earns is split 60-40, where they ensure that a larger portion of the earnings go to the communities involved and then they distribute the 40 per cent amongst the collective. They believe that since they are really passionate about the kind of work they do, even in selecting designers that join them, they like to engage with those who share the same core values and believe in the project of local produce and in giving back to the society. They believe that this inevitably comes down to two variables empathy and embracing nonlinearity. In addition to building the core NEP brand, a key goal for us is to partner with promising NE ventures in terms of going to the market, making their concept operational, and potentially helping them raise investment, said Singh, regarding the venture s future plans. He also added that prior learning from collaborations have led them to realise that their greatest value is in being a strategic partner to the promising North-East entrepreneurs (as opposed to doing one-off associations), and position themselves accordingly to deliver effectively in that capacity. (angarikagogoi95@gmail.com) UP CLOSE Meenakshi Gautam ajolitai@rediffmail.com The king of mime MOINUL HAQUE uses the body as art. For a man who never knew what mime was, to become the uncrowned monarch of mime is no mean feat. His trajectory is not merely of ups and downs, but also one where it was easier for anyone to give up. He says he did not want to follow the oft-trodden path, meaning shows, serials and roles in films, much like his contemporaries. He recalls with a glint in his eye, Before I decided to do mime, I was earning in thousands; that was way back in the 80s and 90s. It was a huge amount at that time. And then I came down to earning just Rs But I did not give up, my eye had to be operated on because of the rigorous exercises; it was getting damaged. This is Moinul Haque, the man, the mime artiste who enjoys legendary status in the country s mime domain. When you google mime, his name crops up almost immediately, and that speaks a lot about his talent and mastery over the craft. The devotion and dedication with which he approaches his art can be a fine lesson for today s young people, who are often in a hurry. He speaks of being a stand-up comedian and being very successful in the 80s and 90s, earning both moolah and adulation of the crowd. In fact, he was so popular that his name would appear right after the director. All that changed once he decided to do mime. When he started to do mime, he did not know what it entitled. But it was the audience that goaded him to do it. Haque gives a riveting account of how men first went hunting and would come back and recount tales of their bravey to their womenfolk. And slowly from sounds, movements, and gestures; and, perhaps, all the art forms, be it dancing, singing, acting, etc., Tourism and Nature Eco-tourism promises a sustainable model of development, reports DRISTI CHAYA SAIKIA. According to the International Tourism Society, Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas, but one that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of the local people. Nowadays, eco-tourism plays a significant role in both the developed and the developing countries. It is the fastest growing sector in the world. By 2024, eco-tourism is expected to represent five per cent of the global holiday market. Eco-tourism is all about conserving natural areas and wild plants and animals. It also emphasises on the socio-economic development of people, especially those who are related to eco-tourism activities. Moreover, with the help of eco-tourism, local communities can earn more revenue as it can generate employment opportunities. Eco-tourism is also known as community-based tourism as it has a vital impact on the socio-economic conditions of the rural people. The main socio-economic components of eco-tourism are income/job opportunities, educational attainment, and health facilities of the local community. In India, eco-tourism is one of the most responsible aspects of tourism. The main aim of eco-tourism is to conserve natural resources and improve the lifestyle of the local community. Ecotourism is also considered as ecological or sustainable tourism. Moreover, eco-tourism is an educational concept where both the local community and the tourists collaborate for positive environmental awareness. The Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary or the Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary or Hollongapar Reserve Forest is a perfect example for an eco-tourism initiative. A research conducted on the Impact of eco-tourism on villages surrounding the Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary has found that eco-tourism has a positive impact on the income/wage rate of the people. Most of the people, especially those who are related with ecotourism activities, expressed that they benefitted from eco-tourism as it has created more employment opportunities. This sanctuary is almost 17 kms. from Jorhat district and five kms. from Mariani town. It is mainly famous for its hoolock gibbons (three primate species of genus hoolock in the gibbon family) and North-East India s only nocturnal primate the Bengal slow loris or northern slow loris (a strepsirrhine primate and a species of slow loris). The sanctuary also has a rich biodiversity of flora, as it is an evergreen forest. The upper canopy, i.e., the upper layer or habitat zone consists of Hollong trees (Dipterocarpus macrocarpus), rising 12 to 30 metres; the middle canopy consists of the Nahar (Mesua ferrea), and the lower canopy is dominated by various shrubs and herbs. It is home to the only apes in India, as also the stumptailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), northern pig-tailed macaque, elephants, tigers, and leopards. The sanctuary is also surrounded by a few small villages, and various tea gardens. The research revealed several other facts about this area and the impact of eco-tourism on the people here. It was found that healthcare facilities were next to nil in these villages. The government does not provide any healthcare facilities; even education-related schemes have not reached the people here, that ultimately casts a negative impact on the people and whatever little eco-tourism initiatives they are taking. There is, thus, an urgent need for in-depth research on the healthcare and educational drawbacks so that eco-tourism initiatives in these villages can be developed and the locals can reap the benefits. (dristichayasaikia@gmail.com) mime evolved. As for the practice of painting the face black and white in mime, the artiste explains that the black colour dominates in tragedy and white does so in comedy. So, traditionally, mime performances used these two colours, but today, there is a practice of not using colours at all. This highly revered professional believes that his mime is of his own brand. You ask him about his style and he says that it is for the audience and the people who follow to decide. I cannot tell you about my own style, it is for the others to decide, he responds with rare candour. When you ask him to compare the mime of the East and the West, he does not talk about it in depth, just mentions that the pivotal point is the cultural difference. But he does believe that the West is impeccable in technique. As far as technique is concerned, we cannot equal them. They are brilliant, but content is our strong point. We touch people s hearts with our stories, he says. He recollects how people had tears in their eyes when he depicted the story of children leaving their old parents at home in search of better options on foreign shores. Or, of people doubling up with laughter when he acted out the plight of attending a buffet. So much so that after one show, which was followed by a buffet, people were embarrassed to attend it. Or, of the balloon-seller who will tug at your heartstrings and bring a smile to your face. But Haque claims that he likes to work on serious topics like migration, NRC, so on and so forth. He believes in being a socially responsible artiste who likes to contribute his might to the society. Haque also speaks of the different types of mime he does. He elaborates that the intention behind solo performances is purely entertainment. Most of the group performances are meant to voice important issues. As for the future of mime in our country, he is very optimistic and is quick to point out that he teaches for free. He is often invited to universities, colleges, art institutions to train the young minds on the art. Mime is not easy and many fall by the wayside, unable to cope with the rigours of the art. But Haque makes sure that his students apply for different scholarships. And, like a parent, he is visibly proud when his students garner awards and accolades.

18 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI SUNDAY READING JULY 15, 2018 WOMEN PLUS PARINITA DATTA On a mission SALMA HUSSAIN is a young girl who plans to change the world, one village at a time. As a young girl, Salma Hussain always had an affinity towards the poor. She was all of eight, and looking at the poor children rolling in the mud and playing when they should have been going to school would pain her. Today, at the age of 24, Salma is a budding social worker of Assam. From the back of beyond village (Sontoli) in Assam s Kamrup district, this young girl has come a long way. This welfare worker has been working since the age of 13 for the upliftment of the people living in the char areas near her village. In recognition for her social work, Salma has been selected for the Peace Builders Programme in the U.S.A.; one out of eight young women to be selected across the world. Says a full-of-beans Salma who has just returned from Kolkata when I met her at her rented house in Guwahati, I am just back from Kolkata after the visa interview. I will be flying to the U.S. next month (August 4). Salma is the only candidate from India to make it to the Andi Leadership Institute (ALI) Programme 2018 for Young Women Peace Builders. She will undergo training in Washington D.C. from August 5 to 18 this year. Salma further informs, I am also likely to visit a few other places and meet important human rights workers. I would like to take ideas from them to implement my dream project of adopting a village in Assam and make it RELATIONSHIP Suzannah Weiss A fight can weaken your relationship, or it can strengthen it and its impact depends on how you behave afterward. The aftermath of an argument can be tense, but the fact that you just fought doesn t mean you have to behave coldly or unkindly. In fact, if you re careful about how you talk to each other, you can use the opportunity to start to mend your relationship. Here are some things you can do after a fight that may help you move on and use the conflict to your advantage. Make up as soon as possible You may feel tempted to get in the last word or even punish your partner by making him/her wait for your forgiveness, but that could make you both unhappy not just in the moment, but also in the future. When we allow fights to amplify, this is called negative affect reciprocity, and it predicts eroding happiness in a relationship. So, aim to make up before a fight escalates. Cheer yourself up Enjoyable feelings can help our body relax and make us feel less keyed up, even during tense moments with our partner. So, if you have the urge to drag on the fight even though everything that needs to be said has been said, try thinking of a time your partner did something nice for you, some- Salma is the only candidate from India to make it to the ALI Programme for Young Women Peace Builders, She will soon undergo training in Washington D.C. a model abode of peace. How did social work begin? The idea germinated in my mind when I was just 13. I was studying at the Marian School at Barpeta Road. One evening, I could perceive what poverty really is when I saw children of the slum areas living besides the railway line just opposite my school hostel. That was the turning point in my life and I decided that I will have to work for the marginalised section of people who languish in poverty. She continues, Since mine was a Missionary school, I became a member of the Marian Social Wel- fare Club and would go out to distribute rice, medicines and clothes among the poor people. When I used to come home to my village Sontoli for holidays, I started conducting seminars on an individual basis on topics like dowry and child marriage. I also used to conduct awareness sessions in char area schools and colleges. After she finished her schooling, Salma came to Guwahati in the year 2011 to pursue her college studies and here, too, she started her social work by working in the backward areas near the city. I used to distribute clothes during floods collect them from peoples homes, wash Calling a truce How well do you end a fight? thing you appreciate about them, or even a good memory unrelated to them. Or, do something that makes you happy, like having a cup of tea or playing with a pet. Be positive If your goal is truly to make up, don t rehash the argument. Don t say I m sorry, but or it s just that you always This will just drag the fight on. Choose your words carefully, striving to be sincere and kind. Don t use tactics that tend to wound feelings and escalate friction, like insulting a partner, throwing the past on their face, yelling, inserting sarcastic zingers, making harsh, critical comments, etc. Acknowledge their side To help your partner feel heard, imagine yourself as someone outside the relationship who cares about you both. Ask yourself what they might see that you can t see from your own perspective, and acknowledge any valid points your partner has. and iron them, put them in different cartons, age-wise, and then pass it on to professionals who used to work for the flood-affected. I used to spend whatever pocket money I had. Salma even started celebrating her birthdays in the orphanages of Guwahati. Every Sunday, I used to give my time to the Missionaries of Charity Home in Bharalumukh, and I also used to celebrate Friendship Day and Human Rights Day with the inmates of the Home, teaching them something creative. Though she has worked like a onewoman army on her social missions, she has also led the Secret Santa Mission of Stars of North East a group of dedicated youngsters working for the cause of the disadvantaged section of the society. How did she get selected for the Andi Leadership Institute Programme 2018 for Young Women Peace Builders? The competition was very stiff. The application form itself was like an IAS paper, where one had to respond to objective type questions, write narratives and provide several reasons for which one should be selected. A set of telephonic interviews followed and I made it to the Programme! she exults. Salma has won many awards, including the Foundation of Social Transformation Award, Youth Peace Award, in , for her project Rehabilitation of Women Prisoners in the Tezpur Central Jail. She lost her father in 2001 and all credit goes to her mother, Reziya Hussain for supporting her all throughout. Salma knows that the poor people who do not have access to clean water and sanitation, among many other things, experience continued hunger and this leads to irreversible damage. But she does not believe in handing everything over to them on a platter and sums up by saying that I believe in the dictum Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. For example, you might say, So, when you didn t call to let me know you d be coming home late from work, it was because you got caught up with a project and lost track of the time. I see where you re coming from. I ve certainly lost track of time, too. Work toward results What do you hope will come out of the fight? More validation of your emotions? Fewer misunderstandings when you re making plans? Whatever it is, think about a mutually beneficial goal you can achieve to avoid future conflict. If you can t calm down, get some alone time If being around your partner makes it too hard to resist fighting, spend some time away from them. If you live together, take a shower or a walk, and you may be less tempted to lash out afterward. Forgive yourself, too A lot of us behave in ways we wish we hadn t during fights. Even though we can share and hear anger and hurt without letting hostilities boil, it s certainly not easy. Try not to be too hard on yourself and welcome yourself to the human race. It can happen, and the key is to bring the tension back down and get back to the business of making up and becoming closer. Remember, arguing in itself isn t a problem. Instead of thinking of an argument as a way to vent your anger, think of it as a way to discuss what s not working so you can arrive at a solution that does work, all the while maintaining respect for each other. BEAUTY Zarin Saleh Hussain zarinsalehhussain@yahoo.com Nail that look How you look calls for an artistic sense. QI have thick, but rough hair. Could you please suggest a hair care routine which can help soften my hair? Ankita Ans: Like our bodies, the health of our hair, too, depends on a good diet. A healthy diet ensures that the hair gets the necessary nutrients to grow to its maximum length, strength and thickness. Those who have dry and dull-looking or rough hair must remember that dry ends are largely self-inflicted, and are caused due to too much shampooing, insufficient conditioning, harsh brushing and misuse of heated appliances. To tackle this, eat eggs, fish, milk, nuts, and pulses. If you eat a balanced diet, you won t need supplementary vitamins to promote healthy hair growth. Oil your hair with olive oil and almond oil, followed by this hair mask Take five tablespoons of olive oil, two eggs, one tablespoon amla, one tablespoon reetha, one tablespoon shikakai powder. Mix these in two tablespoons of mayonnaise (homemade) and whip all the ingredients together. Apply to the scalp and hair and keep for half an hour. Then wash off with a mild shampoo. Do this once every week for best results. Please suggest a way to get rid of tan and rejuvenate my skin. Priyam QAns: Most people forget to protect their skin while going outdoors. You need to use a sunscreen regularly. To reduce your tan, mix sandalwood paste and honey, and apply on the skin. Wash when dry, with cold water. You can apply frozen milk cubes. This will reduce your tan. Here s a natural scrub to reduce tan. Apply orange peel powder, almond powder, and milk. The combination of these would be nourishing and will help de-tan your skin. Add a handful of milk powder to your bath water and bathe with it. This will make your skin soft and act as a natural bleach, too. Q My lipstick does not last long. How do I solve this problem? Neha Ans: Begin by gently removing the dead skin on the lips by exfoliating them with a lip scrub. After this, rinse, pat dry and apply some lip balm and wait for a second. Then layer your lips with a concealer matching your skin tone by blending it with outward strokes. Use a lip liner to give your lips a neat, defined edge. Outline the natural line of the lips with a lip liner that is not more than one shade darker than your chosen colour. This keeps the colour from bleeding and gives a guideline for applying lipstick. Liquid lipsticks are great for long-stay make-up looks. Begin by applying liquid lipstick from the outer corner of your lips, moving towards its bottom edge. I have lots of pimples. What can I do to treat them? Please help me with a natural remedy. Shreya QAns: If you can spend five to ten minutes a day clearing and exfoliating your skin, you will never have any skin problems and your skin will glow naturally. Drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water daily. Eat lots of green vegetables, fruits, and salads. Try to avoid fried food. Remember, the best way to avoid pimples is to keep your skin squeaky clean. Mix about 100 ml. of rose water with a pinch of camphor and wipe your skin with this, two to three times a day. Make a pack of one teaspoon neem paste, one teaspoon fuller s earth, rose water, and a pinch of camphor. This will help tackle your pimples. Be extremely gentle with the skin. Pay close attention to keeping your make-up products, brushes and tools germ-free at all times.

19 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI SUNDAY READING JULY 15, 2018 FICTION Swaswati Das Like every evening, the doba at the namghar had been beaten. With that, it was a message to all the villagers that darkness was just some moments away. The cowherds marched home with their cattle, the men returned to their homes after a long, hard day in the fields. The women of the village broke away from their evening gossip to tend to their beloved husbands. Ganga, too, went inside the house, straight to the Guxaai Ghar, completed the customary ritual of lighting the sakis, and sang the hymns. When she went outside to the square-tiled verandah, it was already evening. She looked towards her neighbour Protima, a sister more than a neighbour, with whom she had spent her youth; together, they had seen each other give birth to children after children. Beautiful Protima, whose cheeks were whiter than milk, and which had flushed with the happiness of a newly-wed, long ago, had now turned into a dusky old woman, marked by the wrinkled skin and the red-betel-nut coloured teeth. She had knelt down on the ground to pay her respects to the Almighty. Ganga looked at the scene, a lump forming in her throat, as she suddenly remembered what Bohag had been like many years ago. She had hours to kill before the night came, carrying with it the rains and the wind. With no errands left to do, she decided to clean up her trunk, the large steel trunk that she had brought with her on her marriage. She never opened it on the evenings, but today she felt the strong urge to open the trunk, look at everything again, and live a little bit of the past. A past, some parts of which she had forgotten and some parts, she remembered all too well. Bohag was so different in her times, when the road that ran in front of her house was only a narrow path of small rocks and pebbles. Bohag was so different with her husband. Her hands trembled when she picked up LEGALEASE Dr. Ankit Todi your questions to: legalaid@assamtribune.com Q. An advocate s legal notice has been sent to me by the bank, stating some default in loan repayment and of taking legal action against me, instead of issuing an NOC. There has been a discrepancy in the bank s claim, as I have paid all my dues and have receipts for the same. What should I do? Khairul Ans: You need to give a reply to the legal notice, stating of discrepancy in claim, and attaching the proof of paid dues which have been re-claimed by the bank. Replying may give you a chance to put an end to mistaken claims and future filing of cases. You may either reply to the legal notice yourself or avail the services of a lawyer. Before replying, however, read the contents of the legal notice in the context of the loan s terms and conditions, and the obligations agreed upon between you and your bank, such as the amount of EMIs, repayment dates, etc. Then you give an elaborate reply, pointing out the shortfalls therein, which resulted in the discrepancy of the claim made by the bank. Give the reference of all your previ- Black and white memories an old black and white photo in her hands. Just an old memory she had been preserving. A beautiful black and white memory, of her sitting on a chair and her husband standing near her. She was just 16 years old when she was married off. She blushed when she looked at the newly-wed girl frozen in time in front of her. A little girl, draped in a cream-coloured paatmekhela sador, the one she wore on her wedding day. Her eyes reached down to the tender hands of the girl, half-covered by bangles, and then the long stretch of vermilion on her forehead, which could still be spotted bright in the black and white picture. And the tall man, in a white dhoti and suriya, standing tall, just next to her, his youth and the advent of manliness in the slender framework of the body, captured forever in a black and white memory. It had been ten years since Ganga had last seen the vermilion on her head. Like a snail, time never seemed to end. Did she remember his voice? Ganga asked herself. Now she looked at the ceiling of the dimly-lit room, contemplating hard, trying to remember what he sounded like. She closed her eyes, and for an instant, everything around her felt numb, the twitter of the birds faded away in the distance, the sound of the rotating fan wasn t what she could hear. She could only hear someone calling her, a faint distant call, yet humble and simple in its style of affection. Ganga, O Ganga! She shook her head. She closed her eyes again. Her wrinkled skin wrinkled further in contemplation. She still couldn t hear him. It was her own voice in her mind, imitating her late husband s voice. She was too old to keep fighting, so she gave up. It shook something inside her to accept that she didn t remember his voice anymore. Aita, do you still love Koka? Her 16-year-old granddaughter s voice echoed in her mind. Ganga had laughed it off then. Nevertheless, inside, at that moment, she felt a turmoil brewing, waiting to be released. Yet, she stopped. Ganga dismissed the thought. Ganga couldn t answer it then, and Framing a rebuttal she couldn t answer it now. Perhaps, she knew the answer. And the day she became aware of that, was the day she stopped looking for answers. It had been ten long years; she vaguely remembered his face, a face she once so dearly loved, but had never expressed. Love between husband and wife was not expressed in her times. But she knew that she had loved him, her husband. Yes, loved him. She remembered all too well, the days she had spent with him. She was 16 then, a tender age. She remembered all too well, how he had taken her to the small landing that they had on the opposite banks of the Brahmaputra, on a small boat. She was 18 then, a maturing age. On that landing, where they had a very small house, was the first time they had made love, in the soft dim light of the lamp. He had waited for her to grow up, restraining himself, his long deep desires, because of her tender age. She knew it; all of it, for it was so evident that night. She remembered all too well, her blush, his blush, when they held their first-born together. She was 21 then, the features of her body slowly taking the shape of a woman, a mother. Together, they had brought up five of their children, they fought, but always kept up with each other. That man, she knew she had loved. But like a Tsunami, time sweeps everything on its way, and in her case as well, it did. When she looked for the answers, that had stoked her long ago, she felt guilty, ashamed of how she could forget her husband, a man who carried his love for her until his last breath. How could she not remember his voice? The question that her granddaughter had asked her was frozen in time. She knew the answer, but she found it so hard to accept. Going outside to the verandah, she looked towards the starry heaven and let the cool breeze of Spring calm her down. Bohag was so different ten years ago. Bohag was so different with him!

P lastic bags have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. In the event of grocery shopping, most of us utilise poly bags for the convenience they provide. However, this has been affecting lives and deteriorating the environment. Poly bags are made from non-renewable sources and they never get degraded. This characteristic of the bags affect the soil and marine life. They are even harmful to human health. On this account, strategic steps should be considered for the effective replacement of poly bags, ultimately leading to a complete ban. As plastic bags are composed of major toxic pollutants, they have the potential to cause great harm to the environment in the form of air, water and land pollution. When disposed, it does not decompose easily and pollute the environment. The production of most plastic requires the use of oil resources on earth. The natural oils deposited on earth since ages should not be wasted and made into plastics. Plastic bags should be banned, so that pollution levels are reduced and oil is preserved for the future. Gunin Bora, Santipur, Biswanath Chariali. When poly bags came into the market, it became very convenient for all to carry commodities. It then happened that traditional paper-made bags got eliminated from use. Now, polythene bags are disposed in the open, occupying huge dumps in our immediate surroundings. Plastic doesn t decompose by itself because there are no microbes yet to break such pollutants in Nature. This is causing serious concerns of artificial floods in towns and cities due to the choking of the drains. The UN themes for awareness on Earth Day 2018 and World Environmental Day 2018 End Plastic Pollution and Beat Plastic Pollution, respectively, point to the need of the hour, which is to ban plastic bags. Furthermore, concern lies in the open burning of polythene, responsible for air pollution and depletion of the ozone layer of the atmosphere. Kedar Nath Chetry, Teacher, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Namrup. With every ban, we create an underground network. Rather, we should destroy the demand. No demand, no supply. No supply, no production or underground smuggling. Before banning anything, the government should try to regulate things. Banning should be used as the last option. As a first step, a ban should be imposed on selling and distribution of plastic bags. The problem is not created when we use plastic bags; it is created when we throw it on the roads and not in dustbins. There should be a proper transition taking place before banning plastic bags. We should increase awareness about the alternative products for plastic bags, making people opt for such products. Jyoti Kanoi, President, MAB Hospital, Dibrugarh. We need bags of one sort or the other for different purposes. Plastic bags have become a part of modern life, since it is convenient. But this convenience comes at a very high cost to the environment and it negatively affects all sorts of life on earth. The basic problem is that people are using free plastic bags only once and throwing it carelessly, harming our beautiful Mother Earth. Several cities and countries around the world have started banning the use of plastic bags and some are putting restrictions on its use. Our retailers must charge customers for the purchase of plastic bags. The solution is not a ban, but rather designing biodegradable plastic bags that will compost in the natural environment.

MY SPACE Dr. Tapati Baruah Kashyap tapatibkashyap@gmail.com Exactly after 40 years, I am standing at this point again, beside the river Subansiri. This time, however, I am standing with my family. Forty years ago, I had come to this place with my parents. That was a visit meant to enjoy a picnic, when my father was posted at North Lakhimpur. This time around, my visit coincides with my daughters inquisitiveness about a dam on the river. Their desire to see a dam from close quarters drew us to that river, one which I, as a child, had admired. Everything has now changed. My father is no more. Even the river is not flowing the way it used to four decades ago. It has taken a new shape. A huge dam is under construction across it to produce electricity. But something is very similar, very familiar to my soul. I recognised it deeply. My perception has no words, no definition. Yes, it is the colour of the water. It is Flowing like the Subansiri... ous payments in that regard, along with copies of bank deposit receipts. Non-observation on the part of the bank, its obligation of maintaining proper record of repayments, is a good defence, and you can seek its full compliance to deny or dispute the demanded claim. For relevant and non-rebuttable terms and obligations, you can express the violadeep green. That time, I still remember, a local youth had tried to explain to us that when a river is deep, its colour is dark green. Standing beside that dark green river, my childhood memories began to unfold, one by one. There is a large population of crocodiles a little upstream from here, he had said. I, as a child, was fear-stricken to hear about those crocodiles, as if a crocodile would rise immediately from the river bed and devour all of us at once. The scenic beauty, the deep green of the water that I had seen as a child seemed to be the same to our daughters now. They were overjoyed to discover the truth of my description about my childhood memories. Is any change always troublesome? As we went around the place, I somehow noticed the exact colour of the water of the river Subansiri. This river, the largest of over 100 tributaries of our mighty The more I began to look at the river and the two mountain ranges through which it was rushing towards the plains, the more I began travelling back to my childhood. Truly, my memories have not cheated me over the years. Brahmaputra, originates at a place West of Mount Porom, a 5059-metre peak in the Himalayas in Tibet, and was in the ancient times also known as Swarna-di swarna meaning gold, and di meaning water. The more I began to look at the river and the two mountain ranges through which it was rushing towards the plains, the more I began travelling back to my childhood. Truly, my memories have not cheated me over the years. My description about that place has become true not only to my memories, but to my daughters, too. They have come to this place for the first time, but they had been fed with my descriptions for a long time. A place may change, people may change, but the inherent nature and the true identity of that very place never changes and this must be the ultimate law of Nature. Standing on the bank of the river, I tried to cherish my sweet memories, and at one point of time, I came to realise that my memories would also flow forever. My daughters have started making castles of their childhood memories with their parents. The river, I felt, was staring at us, and trying to say something as it entered a huge tunnel to clear the space for construction of the dam, and came out several hundred metres downstream I am not the same that you had seen as a child four decades ago. I may not be the same as your daughters have seen me now. Would memories flow like the unending flow of the river? Immediately, I tried to recall what Lord Alfred Tennyson had once written: I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance/ for men may come and men may go, but I go on forever. Yes, my memories would flow loyally like the deep green of this river, the golden river of my childhood.

20 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE GUWAHATI SUNDAY READING JULY 15, 2018 Take out, if you please, all the proofs of identity you have with you. Leave aside, for the moment, your passport, if you have any... the vast majority of Indians don t have one. But yes, take out your driving licence, your PAN card, your voter s ID card, and oh, yes, of course, your Adhaar card, if you have managed to get one at all. And for most of us, the one parent or relative whose name appears there is a man. Father or husband. Missing, usually, is the name of the mother. She, whose body nourishes the child for almost a year, she, who gives birth, she, who often suckles the child for several months... her name is not required when it comes to having official documents that establish proof of identity. In fact, the mother becomes mostly irrelevant when it comes to establishing identity in our land. That, indeed, is more than passing strange. In all this fuss about the Unique Identification Authority of India document, (which is what the Aadhar card is officially known as), what is being painfully overlooked is this fact. There are all kinds of noises being made about getting it, making it mandatory for this thing or that, or not mandatory for this other thing, or that. And yet nobody really seems bothered about the fact that only one parent s name, that of the father, is there on the card. A marker of identity, and yet the name of the person who gives birth to that individual is not considered important enough to put. Yes, the application forms for the various documents do ask for the name of the Head of the Household, and also, in some cases, mother s name. It is also true that the definition of the Head of the household, for official purposes, is the person whose economic inputs help to sustain the family. Fair enough, even though it overlooks many facts in today s scenario. One of these is that with both parents working, as is often the case these days, it is the income of two people that keeps the finances of a family stable. Indeed, one often hears people say, these days, that both husband and wife are working because this double income is needed to keep the family running. Secondly, there is the fact of sentiment.

A homemaker is rarely considered to be a Head of Household if she is married. And yet, as time and again, studies across the world have shown, she contributes greatly to the economy of the household, in various ways, large and small. And this is not even taking into account her role as a mother, sister, daughter-in-law, grandmother, and so on. If the family is an agricultural one, the wife often has to work in the fields in supplementary roles as well. This, too, is rarely acknowledged. The solution is to have names of both parents on all documents that establish proof of identity. It shouldn t be that difficult. After all, it is just a single extra line that needs to be added. The one document marking our identities that does mention the mother s name is the passport. And thank goodness for that. After all, we would be shamed while travelling to less patriarchal societies in other MOVIE WATCH Bidisha Singha countries if our travel document did not show our mother s name at all. In this context, there is a moving poem written by a young Mizo poet, Sanga, called Mother s Name Optional. While filling up his application for his PAN card, the slot for Mother s Name had, in brackets, the word (Optional). It was especially hurtful for him because his father had abandoned both him and his mother when he was but a baby, and he almost never saw his father. His mother worked back breakingly long hours as a seamstress in order to feed, clothe and educate the little boy, often going hungry herself so that he could eat. Today, as a poet and teacher, he has no hesitation in saying that he owes his mother everything. And yet, when it comes to putting her name on the application for the PAN card, it is only Optional! If it wasn t for the Indian Government, I swear I would not even remember my father s name... Nowadays I have to write Late as part of his name And often I would hear a polite cough or an I m sorry.

Yet at each rung that I climb, They ask for my father s name I ve seen him only twice... Yet, it is his name they ask for Know that this has been my curse It is always with heartbreaking guilt That I put his name before hers. It is notable that in our neighbouring country of Bangladesh, all government documents relating to identity mandatorily have a column asking for Mother s Name.

Kathak exponent MARAMI MEDHI on how Indian classical dances score over their western counterparts. 1Homage to the gods In Indian classical dance, the body of a dancer becomes an instrument of gesture and symbolism, speaking for the spirit of worship of God. Since most of the classical dance forms first started in the temples, it is said that classical dances originated with the purpose of pleasing God in pure worship. 2Telling stories Western dance is an expression of action, which makes the human body a crucible of energy, without any reality. Whereas, Indian classical dance focusses on contemplation, story-telling, praising the gods, experimenting and depicting all kinds of emotions through mythology and true stories of many poets and important people from our history and culture. 3 Not just entertainment We see that western dance merely comes as an act of pure entertainment for the audience, mostly an entertainment which is temporary and the audience tends to forget about it the very next day. On the other hand, Indian classical dance is not only for the entertainment of the audience, its aim is to touch the hearts of the audience in tandem with its spiritual goals. 4A higher end In Indian classical dance, a dancer is always associated with a higher, sacred love for God. Human love is expressed into stylised gestures and special expressions symbolising love for the divine, while in western dance, the male-female relationship is shown fairly openly in a purely human and earthly sense. SCREENSHOTS Arundhuti Banerjee In the spotlight Janhvi Kapoor is aiming for the stars with her debut film. All eyes are on Janhvi Kapoor daughter of the iconic Sridevi whose demise earlier this year left a huge void in the Indian film industry as she steps into Bollywood with her maiden film Dhadak on July 20. The young actress says she wishes to bring back the magic of magnetic talents like Madhubala, Meena Kumari and Waheeda Rehman on the silver screen. I have watched Madhubalaji in films like Mughal-e-Azam, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, and Mr & Mrs 55. I have seen the beautiful Waheedaji in Guide, Pyaasa, Meena Kumariji in Pakeezah, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. Watching them, I get fascinated and mesmerised. I so wish to (re)create the magic of these legends on-screen, says the 21-yearold. Janhvi has been getting a lot of attention from the media and the audience for her much-anticipated debut in a Karan Johar production, which is a remake of Marathi cinema's highly acclaimed Sairat. She can already feel the pressure that comes along with celebrity status. But she is wading through it. I am trying to preserve a sense of my identity in all that because it is very easy to lose my head in this madness. I am getting so much attention, people are talking about me, my pictures are out there, I am talking so much about myself... I am reading about myself I m too tired to clean the house, but look at the bright side I m also too tired to get it dirty! 5Focus on mental health Lastly, I would like to talk about the most important point. In Indian classical dances, there are many basic exercises which are to be practised in order to make the body flexible and perfect for dancing. Yoga and meditation not only help a person become physically agile, but also mentally fit, happy and relaxed. But in western dance, there are only a few basic exercises and use of space which never really focusses on the mental health of a person. It is just physical fitness that matters. I had a painful childhood. My parents made me turn off the TV during dinner. If I lose 25 pounds, I ll add ten years to my life. How much should I lose if I want to live forever? (As told to S.K. Priyanka) every day. It is easy for me to think that I am the most important person in the world. But then, I am not letting that happen. I know it is all happening for the film and if I want people to talk about me, I have to deliver hit films. Otherwise, that will be wrong. I am trying hard to earn the right to grab the spotlight, I am trying to be a deserving person to talk about, she said, sounding more mature than her age. Janhvi was very close to her mother. And even though she has never tried to adopt Sridevi's style, there may be certain things she has inherited genetically. I am my mumma's daughter, so I look like her; but I know I am different. Dhadak, directed by Shashank Khaitan, is set in Rajasthan. Born and brought up in a megalopolis like Mumbai, playing a Rajasthani girl was not easy for Janhvi. However, she does not prefer to talk much about her preparation process. Citing what she learnt from her mother, Janhvi says, It is not about how you prepare, but what you deliver on screen. If you are playing a hungry man, you could stop eating for 24 hours before shooting the scene. But what is the point if that does not translate through your eyes while performing? So I think that is what matters... What I managed to deliver in the film. After the film releases, if the audience appreciates my performance and still wants to know how I prepared for the role, I will talk about it. Because preparation looks meaningless if the result is not fruitful. (arundhuti.b@ians.in) We took care of that noise under the hood. We made the radio louder.
