BY HASAN SUROOR

There are facts; and thenthere are urban mythssome of which through

sheer repetition over a long peri-od of time attain the status offacts. And they become sodeeply ingrained in our psychethat we simply assume them tobe true. One such myth is play-ing out right now in sections ofthe Indian media, especially ontelevision channels, in relation tothe Indrani Mukerjea-SheenaBora case. As much as there isshock and horror over the inci-dent, there appears to be evenmore shock that such a thingcould have happened in “highsociety”.

Commentators appear to bestruggling to comprehend how“normal” people like themselves— educated, successful, urbaneand rational — could be capableof doing something so horrid.The debate is marked by a toneof incredulity. Bharatiya JanataParty (BJP)’s Shaina NC,appearing on a talk show,likened the descent of such aclass of society into criminalityto kalyug. Note the emphasis onadjectives — “respectable”;“society’s upper crust”; and“glamorous” — that have beenused to describe the Mukerjea-Bora clan, and it is not hard tosee where these commentatorsare coming from.

The sting lies in the unspokensubtext. For, what they are reallysaying is that such conductwould have been perfectlyunderstandable if the dramatispersonae had been from “lowersociety” (they are like that afterall) but “these guys” are expect-ed to behave differently. There isa hint of cultural racism, and itflows from our deep-seated elit-ist assumptions about how class-es behave or should behave.

In this imagined understandingof class behaviour, the well-heeled and the clever — the sup-posedly “respectable” faces ofsociety — are credited with san-

ity, civility, and rational thoughtwhile the “great unwashed” areseen as unruly, irrational, dys-functional and primitive. Theyare the “plebs”, you see, andoften they know not what theyare doing. “But how come peo-ple from our own circle — ourgolf partners, club mates, cock-tail circuit buddies — havestooped to their level?” is thequestion that has pundits strug-gling to get their head around.

There have beenattempts evento high-l i g h tt h e

dif-f e r -ences inclass back-grounds of Indraniand her husband PeterMukerjea, with the formerdescribed as a “small town girl”and the latter as “this DoonSchool educated guy”, suggest-ing that this makes his actionsmore surprising than hers.

TV channels have sought todefend their wall-to-wall cover-age of the case on the groundthat the intent is to expose the“criminality” creeping into eventhe upper class of society imply-ing, that it wouldn’t have beensuch a big deal if this had hap-pened in a poor ghetto as downthere they are used to this sort ofthings.

The fact is that the notion ofupper class “respectability”, asagainst the “licentiousness” ofthe hoi polloi is an urban myth

akin to the idea of racial superi-ority. Outside the realm of popsociology and half-baked theo-ries there is no empirical evi-dence to show that particularclasses — posh or otherwise —behave in a particular way. Thereis no such thing as a “typical”behaviour of either the upperclasses or those at the other endof social and economic hierar-chy. The belief in

“herd”mentality, whereby certainbehaviour patterns are assignedto people depending on how thedominant class sees them, is anartificial construct designed todistinguish “us” from “them”.

It is true that different socialgroups, especially those linkedby religious or cultural affinity,share a range of specific charac-teristics in terms of their lifestyle— the way they live, the clothesthey wear and the food they eat.And consumer research hasfound links between consump-tion habits and socio-economicbackground of customers.

But, there’s no definitive datawhich shows that criminal

behaviour is inherent in any spe-cific strata. Mark Twain, speak-ing about crime in America, saidthere was “no distinctlyAmerican criminal class, exceptCongress”; and [minusCongress] that’s true of othersocieties as well.

Poverty, indeed, is regarded asa factor in crime (Aristotledescribed poverty as “the parent

of revolution and

crime”) but it isnot the same thing as identifyingthe entire class of poor people aspotentially criminal-minded.

Or, conversely, declaring thatthe rich are immune to it.Individuals, not classes, commitcrime. And they do it for a vari-ety of reasons — greed, jealousy,sexual deviance, anger, frustra-tion, psychological factors —which have nothing to do withtheir place in society’s arbitraryfood chain; or whether they areaffluent or poor. There are twomyths at play in the way thewhole Mukerjea-Bora saga isbeing debated. The first is that“respectability” — itself a dubi-ous Victorian conceit — is theexclusive preserve of the rich

metropolitan elite; and second,that once you achieve“respectable” status, you auto-matically develop an immunityto any wrongdoing.

Such fiction persists, or rather,has been allowed to persist,despite increasing evidence tothe contrary. Many deviantsbeing unmasked around theworld — among them pae-dophiles , fraudsters, rapists,marital cheats and even murder-ers — belong to the class of the

rich and the famous. Who canbe presumed to be more

“respectable” thanpriests, teachers and

doctors? And,yet, Europe and

the U.S. haveb e e ns w a m p e dwith scan-d a l s ,involvings u c hgrandees.

In Indiatoo, there is no

dearth of high-society figures

who have ended up injail for criminal offences;

and their tribe is growing.Some of Delhi’s most high-pro-file crimes in recent years haveinvolved some so-calledrespectable people. Rememberthe Jessica Lal murder? Or thekilling of Nitish Katara? AndArushi?

Yet, every time such an inci-dent happens, the media (and notjust the media) feigns surprise:how could this have happened?The simple answer is: becausecriminality doesn’t recogniseclass barriers; and the idea thatthere’s such a thing as a ‘class-specific crime gene’ againstwhich the upper classes havebeen inoculated is simply racist.As H.G. Wells wrote, “All crimein the end is the crime of thecommunity.”

Act against right-wing groups

Small-town girl, Doon school boy

BY JAYAPRAKASH NARAYAN

The massive mobilisationof Patels in Gujarat intheir agitation for their

inclusion in the caste-basedreservations scheme as OtherBackward Classes (OBC) rais-es vital questions on affirma-tive action. For decades, politi-cal parties, the media and soci-ety at large have avoided seri-ous debate on the promotion ofequal opportunity in an iniqui-tous, caste-ridden society prac-tising discrimination by birthfor centuries.

All societies face seriouschallenges on account of dis-crimination and institution-alised inequality. The UnitedStates has its African-Americans and IndianAmericans, Europe has itsGypsies, Australia has itsAborigines, and China has itsnon-Han minorities. Butnowhere in the world areinequality by birth and moralneutrality to such discrimina-tion so institutionalised as inIndian society. Centuries ofartificial division of societyinto hundreds of castes, thedenial of education for all but afew “upper” castes, anunbreakable linkage betweencaste and occupation, institu-tionalised untouchability andabsurd notions of “impurity”,the long-entrenched tradition ofendogamous marriages withina sub-caste, and serious preju-dice against mixed marriagesare all that have made theIndian caste system the mostheinous, oppressive andintractable form of discrimina-tion and inequality by birth.

Styming opportunity

Even a cursory understandingof our society exposes the linkbetween caste and poverty, and

the denial of opportunity basedentirely on circumstances ofbirth. The future of a vastmajority of children born in oursociety can be reasonably pre-dicted at the time of birth mere-ly by assessing the family’seconomic status, parental edu-cation and caste. The child’sinnate ability, ambition andhard work, in most cases, areirrelevant to her future. Notonly is this an unjust, oppres-sive monstrosity in this day andage, but also a large majority ofthe nation’s gene pool is alsowasted by this denial of oppor-tunity, and the nation’s state ofpoverty and backwardness areperpetuated. Given these cir-cumstances, caste will have tobe an important factor in deter-mining eligibility for affirma-tive action policies. However,the unimaginative way inwhich reservations have beenimplemented has led to several,undesirable consequences.

Most of the benefits of reser-vations have gone only to afew, better educated, well-offelites among the communitieseligible for reservations. Whenyou see the background ofyoungsters recruited to the civilservices, or those admitted tomedical schools, the IndianInstitutes of Technology, theIndian Institutes ofManagement, national lawschools or other courses thatgive real opportunities of verti-cal mobility, we see a patternemerging. Though reservationis applicable to the poor and therich, or the illiterate and theeducated in caste groups equal-ly, in reality, most benefitsaccrue to the children of thosewho already have the advan-tages of education, career andwealth. In most selections to/inpremier institutions in highereducation or recruitment to

high-end jobs, it is the childrenof Indian AdministrativeService, Indian Police Serviceofficers and other senior offi-cials, the progeny of Membersof Legislative Assemblies(MLA), Members ofParliament (MP) and the otherpolitical elite, and the offspringof successful professionals andbusinessmen who dominate thescene in communities eligiblefor reservations.

Polarisation and politics

This skewed benefit has para-doxical consequences. Thepoor, disadvantaged ScheduledCastes (SC) and ScheduledTribes (ST) and OBCs aremostly on the fringes and con-tinue to remain mired in pover-ty and backwardness, as theycannot compete with childrenfrom more advantaged back-grounds in their own communi-ties. Therefore, there is enor-mous pain, suffering and angstoften resulting in despair andwhich triggers violence. Mostof the poor in disadvantagedsections are sullen and angry astheir lot does not seem toimprove irrespective of abilityand hard work. At the sametime, the communities exclud-ed from reservations harbouranimosity and prejudice againstthe castes included in the reser-vation category. There are alsoseveral poor and semi-literatefamilies among castes not cate-gorised as SCs or OBCs. Whena child in such a family is over-taken by an obviously wealthychild enjoying caste reserva-tion, the resentment created hasa snowballing effect. This castepolarisation is accentuated bythe political mobilisation ofcaste groups for voting. Giventhis complex process, short-sighted politicians and caste-based leaders can easily pro-

voke primordial loyalties andarouse animosities based oncaste. We have seen manyinstances of caste mobilisationfor and against reservations. Inrecent years, the Jat-Gujjar-Meena agitations in Rajasthanare too well known to bear rep-etition. Now, the agitation ofPatels, the largely successfuland entrepreneurial communityin Gujarat, one of India’s mostvibrant States, only illustratesthe need for rationalising reser-vations.

It is clear that at present mostof the benefits of reservationsflow to a few well-educatedfamilies in the upper strata.Real poor families among SCs,STs and OBCs are largely onthe margins. The poor amongOther Categories (OC) areresentful and frustrated, andtend to blame reservations forall their problems. The currentform of reservations and zero-sum approach have deepenedcaste divisions without helpingthe truly poor, deserving chil-dren to advance in life. MostIndians — from castes includedin reservation or excluded —feel betrayed. We need anurgent, earnest, honest, nationaldebate, and a creative sensible,pragmatic response.Opportunities for all disadvan-taged children, equity, fairnessand common sense should bethe guiding principles in evolv-ing a more rational model ofreservations.

Case for dis-reservation

First, while caste will contin-ue to be the mainstay of reser-vation policies, the benefitsshould flow to the vast majori-ty of underprivileged childrenfrom deprived castes; not to afew privileged children with acaste tag. Families of public

officials of a certain rank —IAS, IPS, other Central andState civil services, present orformer MLAs, MPs, other sen-ior politicians — certain highincome professionals likephysicians, chartered account-ants, managers above a certainrank in the private sector, andbusinessmen and others abovea certain income should be dis-reserved. In other words, oncethey have received a significantadvantage of reservations, theyshould be able to ensure oppor-tunities for their children andvacate the space for the trulydisadvantaged children in theirown caste groups. The argu-ment that financial or profes-sional success does not end dis-crimination, and therefore theyshould forever enjoy reserva-tions is fallacious and self-serv-ing. The logic of reservations isthat educational and employ-ment opportunities will reducediscrimination in a moderneconomy. The state has only thepower to give these opportuni-ties. If education, job andincome do not mitigate dis-crimination, then the rationalefor reservation collapses. Ifreservations do help in upwardmobility, then what more canwe expect in life other than anIAS, IPS officer, MLA, MP or acardiac surgeon? It is easy toidentify families which havesubstantially benefited fromreservation by virtue of posi-tion, rank, profession, educa-tion, children’s school andincome. Once these familiesare dis-reserved, the truly poorand disadvantaged sectionsamong reserved communitieswill get a helping hand in bothhigher education and jobs.

Affirmative steps

Second, we have to addressthe anger and aspirations of

poor families among unre-served communities. Jats,Patels and other obviously suc-cessful communities who arepoor are easily angered by whatthey see as an unjust system.With the Supreme Court rulingof 50 per cent ceiling on reser-vation quotas, no further reser-vation is possible. But intelli-gent, creative, fair and practicalways of giving the poorer chil-dren among OCs a helpinghand are possible and neces-sary. For instance, parental edu-cation and the school the childattended are two sure indicatorsof poverty and the backward-ness of a family. If parents havenot had education beyondschool, and if the child goes toa government school or a low-end, ramshackle private school,it is a sure sign of a lack of ade-quate opportunity. Such a child,however bright, cannot com-pete with the privileged son ofa high official or wealthy doc-tor going to an expensive pri-vate school. And yet, our so-called “merit” system treats a90 per cent score of the privi-leged child as better than the 80per cent score of a poor girl in arural school. If reasonableweightage is given in marks tosuch underprivileged childrenin the category of OC — anaddition of marks decided by agroup of experts — it will giveadded opportunity to poor OCswithout raising reservationquotas. At the same time, truemerit is not compromised andthere is always an aspirationallevel they have to meet. Third,no child with ability and desireshould ever be denied opportu-nities for higher education onaccount of poverty or birth.Scholarships, free tuition, softloans and other mechanismsmust be strengthened, so that abright child can reach for thestars irrespective of his or her

family’s social or economic sta-tus.

Once these three steps are inplace, most of the distortions inthe reservation policy will van-ish. There will be far greaterharmony and little incentive topolarise society or provoke pri-mordial loyalties. Most of all,the really disadvantaged willhave a genuine opportunity torise to their potential.Unfulfilled potential is thegreatest sin in our society. Oncewe eliminate much of thisscourge, we can reduce reser-vations by one or two per centeach year. Within a generation,discrimination by birth will bea thing of the past, and reserva-tions will not be necessary.Simultaneously, the state canencourage market mechanismsfor equal opportunity in the pri-vate sector.

These efforts should be cou-pled with a vigorous nationaleffort to improve school educa-tion outcomes. The Right ofChildren to Free andCompulsory Education (RTE)Act is mostly a failure inenabling a real opportunity forall children. Guaranteed out-comes in schools and access toreal quality school education toevery child irrespective of birthand poverty are at the heart of asociety promoting equity,opportunity and egalitarianism.It is time we address the chal-lenge of reservations honestly,openly, fairly and innovatively.We cannot bury our heads inthe sand forever like an ostrich.

Fight For Right

Sunday’s murder in Dharwad of the outspokenKannada scholar, M.M. Kalburgi, is tragic andalarming. It is the first such instance in

Karnataka, which has a tradition of free speech and arecord of outspoken scholars and writers. Kalburgi, aSahitya Akademi award winner and an authority onVachana literature, was known for his sharp criticismand questioning of superstitious beliefs, and received adeath threat from the leader of a fringe right-wing grouplast year. Since June 2014 he was given police protec-tion but some months ago he requested that it be with-drawn. While the identity of the two assailants, andtheir motive, are yet to be conclusively established, thenature of the threats against him has led investigatorsand the intelligentsia to suspect the role of fringegroups. This, especially given the backdrop of the mur-der of rationalist writer Narendra Dabholkar in 2013,and of CPI activist Govind Pansare in 2015, both inMaharashtra. In all the three cases the assailants weremotorcycle-borne, and shot from point-blank range.While hasty conclusions on the latest murder would beimprudent, there is no denying that fringe right-winggroups have created an atmosphere of intolerance tooutspoken writers and academics who question reli-gious practices and myths, thereby putting pressure onfreedom of speech and expression. Soon afterKalburgi’s murder, a case was filed by the police inMangaluru against a Bajrang Dal activist who tweetedthat the “next” victim would be the Kannada writer K.S.Bhagwan, and the activist was arrested. The socialmedia have amplified such threats, which are acerbicand abusive in nature and typically target writers or aca-demics who question ideologies and religious beliefs.There is enough evidence of the use of brute force bythese fringe groups to enforce their points of view.There is a need to crack down on these groups whichprofess violence. It is important to use for some of theseoutfits the same yardstick as is used for other religion-and ideology-based extremist groups. Unfortunately, amajority of the cases filed against them or their leadersfor inflammatory and abusive remarks and even violentacts do not result in convictions, and that emboldensthem further. It is also crucial to monitor and promptlycurb threats made through social media. These actionsare needed to ensure that daring, fierce and temperedacademic and literary opinion continues to be freelyexpressed without fear of any retribution. Whether ornot fringe groups were involved in Kalburgi’s murder isimmaterial here.

The sting lies in the unspokensubtext. For, what they are really saying is

that such conduct would have been perfectly under-standable if the dramatis personae had been from “lowersociety” (they are like that after all) but “these guys” areexpected to behave differently. There is a hint of cultural

racism, and it flows from our deep-seated elitistassumptions about how classes behave or

should behave.

Grand Alliance...must have realised that senior leaders

among the constituents, who had workedwith socialist leaders like Ram ManoharLohia and Jaya Prakash Narayan were notready to hobnob with the Congress.

"The mammoth rally of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi at Bhagalpur was an eye-opener for Yadav. He must have understoodthat the grand alliance has no chance to winin Bihar and a defeat will adversely affect hisparty's chances in UP Assembly elections,"Mr Hussain added.

The grand alliance, comprising six JanataParivar parties including JD(U), RJD, SP,was cobbled up at the behest of Bihar ChiefMinister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar tothrow a challenge to BJP-led NationalDemocratic Alliance (NDA) in stateAssembly polls scheduled in October-November this year.

Mr Yadav was unanimously accepted as itsPresident. Mr Hussain referred to RJD vice-president Raghunath Jha quitting the partyand said that it was just the beginning of theend of grand alliance. He added that manymore desertions would follow in the comingdays.

"The opposition should stop calling it'grand alliance.' There is nothing grand aboutit. Modi's Bhagalpur rally was a politicaltsunami and the alliance has realised that itwill obliterate JD(U) and RJD from thestate," he added.

Hitting out at Kumar, the senior BJP leadersaid he was still being egoistic while talkingto the people of Bihar and the recent examplewas the way he spoke to statistical workersduring his programme at Samastipur.

"The workers were raising their demands atwhich Kumar scolded them and threatenedthat their file was with him, and if they madenoise, his one signing (by Kumar) will dumpthem on street. I want to ask him whether it ishis habit to insult the people of Bihar," MrHussain said.

"There are over 50,000 statistical workersin the state and they are also a part of the pub-lic in the state. They will press button andpull down Kumar's government," he added.

Mr Hussain went on to criticize MrKumar's recently released vision documentfor development of the state as "election man-ifesto".

The BJP leader also suggested that theBihar Chief Minister should stop braggingabout being a son of a freedom fighterbecause those whose father or grandfather arenot freedom fighters are also patriots andequal citizen of the country.

Welcome Tie-Up ...right decision," NCP General Secretary

Tariq Anwar said in Patna.Mr Anwar, who is Lok Sabha member from

Katihar, said that with Mulayam Singh Yadavwalking out of the alliance "the efforts tobring back splinter parties into Janata Parivarhave virtually come to an end."

After NCP walked out of the alliance, their3 seats were given to SP along with two oth-ers from RJD quota totaling five, which theyrefused.

The NCP leader, whose party left thealliance over being ignored in seat-sharing,said JD(U), RJD and Congress were virtuallymonopolising the grand secular alliance by"unilaterly" distributing large number of seatsamong themselves even without consultingNCP and SP.

"Sometimes we are blamed for weakeningsecular alliance by walking out but its nottrue. We are forced to do this due to monopo-listic approach of JD(U), RJD and Congress,"he said.

The NCP leader said his party would loveto enter into a tie-up with the SP after today'sdevelopment.

"Earlier I had talks with SP Bihar chief andhe had expressed agreement to be together.But, after today's development I do not knowwhat will be their approach, but we'll wel-come if they come with us," he said.

Mr Anwar said his party was waiting for aresponse from the Left Front to fight theBihar elections together. He said NCP wasalso in talks with smaller parties like SamrasSamaj Party of former Union ministerNagmani and Bahujan Samaj Mukti Partywhich has spintered from the BSP ofMayawati.

The NCP General Secretary, however, dis-missed any chance of tie-up either withJanadhikar Party of Madhepura MP RajeshRanjan alias Pappu Yadav and AIMIM ofHyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi as hisparty did not agree with their ideology.

He said NCP was waiting for reply of Leftand others "but if they do not come we'll fightalone in Bihar."

The NCP leader slammed Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and Bihar Chief MinisterNitish Kumar for competing with each otherin "speaking lies" in the name of economicpackage for the state to lure voters.

BJP Airs Video...attributing the flare-up to Mr Kumar's new

friendship with Lalu Yadav, who he has alliedwith to take on the BJP in Bihar, where elec-tions will be held by November.

"The DNA of Lalu has left an imprint onNitish," said Mr Rudy, using a term nowentrenched in the lexicon of the Bihar elec-tions.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi madea comment about Nitish Kumar's "DNA"while questioning his political integrity at arally, Mr Kumar has repeatedly accused thePrime Minister of "insulting the DNA of allBiharis." His friends and allies like DelhiChief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congresspresident Sonia Gandhi have joining the"DNA" chorus against PM Modi.

Nitish Kumar is the chief ministerial candi-date of an alliance in Bihar that includes LaluYadav and the Congress; Mulayam SinghYadav of the Samajwadi Party announced hisexit from the anti-BJP grouping today, unhap-py at the number of seats his party was givento contest.

The BJP and its three allies in state are notprojecting a presumptive Chief Minister andhave decided that the PM - who has held fourpublic meetings in Bihar, drawing huge audi-ences - will ask for votes directly for him.

This has pitched Mr Kumar and Mr Modiinto a full-blown confrontation. The two lead-ers for years, and through a lengthy allianceof their parties, made no secret of their disre-gard for each other.

When the BJP decided in 2013 to pick MrModi as its candidate for PM, Mr Kumarended their parties' 18-year-long alliance.

'Pay Me for...would be paid soon. Not long after, Ms Munde's office told

reporters that while they were not sure if MrBhalerao has supplied sugarcane to the min-ister's factory, it would honour 50 per cent ofits pending payments in the next one or twomonths.

The gaunt desperation of Mr Bhalerao'spetition underscores the plight of sugarcanefarmers caught in a deep sugar industry crisis.Surplus production and a fall in prices has ledto huge losses for sugar factories, which havedefaulted on payments to farmers.

The farmers' struggle is compounded indrought-prone Marathwada, as sugarcane is awater-guzzling crop.

Mr Fadnavis is touring the region for threedays, assessing the effect of this year's failedmonsoon. His office says the 44-year-oldchief minister has been working 20 hours aday hopping from village to village assuringfarmers that arrangements for water, fodderand employment have been made.

"It has never happened that in the month ofAugust, fodder camps have been set up.That's how severe the drought is," MrFadnavis said today, referring to governmentcamps where farmers can feed their cattle forfree.

He also announced today that the govern-ment would pay for the education of farmers'children who study in cities.

Kashmir, China...back on the situation in Jammu and

Kashmir -ceasefire violations by Pakistan andterror attacks from across the border - therelations with Bangladesh and the border sit-uation with China.

The meeting has already covered the areasof economy and education, during which thekey ministers of the Narendra Modi govern-ment have made presentations.

The RSS has advised the BJP to tackle ter-ror more aggressively, sources said.

The party was also warned that the peoplewere not too happy with the BJP's entering apartnership with the People's DemocraticParty, or PDP, sources said.

The two parties - who were ideologicallyfar apart -- had cobbled together an allianceearlier this year after last year's assemblyelections failed to give a clear majority toeither. The PDP is in the driving seat of thealliance, winning three more seats than theBJP, 28 to BJP's 25.

The RSS has suggested that the BJP shouldhold camps along India-Pakistan border tosensitise locals and know their problems. Itwas suggested that it be done with any helpfrom the party leaders so it does not appear asa political issue.

But the state government, it was also said,should first focus on relief and rehabilitationfor the locals, who suffered the firing andshelling from across the border for weeks.

The BJP's ideological mentor has, however,backed the enclave exchange accord withBangladesh, expressing strong views on ille-gal immigration from the neighbouring coun-try, sources said.

Regarding the border with China, the RSShas stressed that India should not weaken itsstand on the Arunachal border issue. It wassuggested that the government should try toget the locals on its side and for this, develop-ment in the area was the way ahead.

2000 Villages..."As of now, 13,78,540 people have been hit

due to floods in 2,199 villages," an ASDMAofficial said.

Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Jorhat,Lakhimpur, Morigaon, Nalbari, Barpeta,Sonitpur and Darrang districts remained theworst affected.

Officials of the state water resourcesdepartment said the Brahmaputra and its trib-utaries were in spate at many locations acrossthe state.

The floods have also affected 176,559hectares of crop land.

Invoking India...the best way to prevent Iran from obtaining

a nuclear weapon."It's an illusion for members of Congress to

think that they can vote this plan down andthen turn around and still persuade countrieslike China, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, India- Iran's major oil customers - they ought tocontinue supporting the sanctions that arecosting them billions of dollars every year,"he said.

"That's not going to happen," he told law-makers and civic leaders. "And don't forgetthat the money that has been locked up as theresult of sanctions is not sitting in someAmerican bank under US control."

"The money is frozen and being held inescrow by countries with which Iran has hadcommercial dealings," Kerry said. "We don'thave that money. We can't control it. It'sgoing to begin to be released anyway if wewalk away from this agreement."

"Rejecting this agreement would not besending a signal of resolve to Iran, it wouldbe broadcasting a message so puzzling thatmost people across the globe would find itimpossible to comprehend," he said.

'Future Seems ...recent searches at the Kolkata home of

Sanjeev Khanna, who was Ms Mukerjea'sfirst husband, and has allegedly confessed tohis complicity in the killing of his step daugh-ter in 2012.

The police says Ms Mukerjea switchesbetween acknowledging that Ms Bora isdead, and maintaining that she lives in the USand is refusing to come forth because she"hates" her mother. Ms Bora was last seenalive on April 24, 2012; she was 24. Thepolice says that evening, she was strangled ina car by her mother, Mr Khanna, and MsMukerjea's driver.

Indrani Mukerjea...former media executive, was brought face-

to-face with husband Peter Mukerjea at apolice station. Mr Mukerjea has reportedlybeen asked if he hired the car in which MsBora was killed on April 24, 2012.

The police says the car, with the body in theboot, was parked that night in the garage ofthe Mukerjea residence. The next morning,the police says, the corpse was set on fire ina forest on the outskirts of Mumbai.

On that day, Mr Mukerjea was abroad in theUK. He was interrogated for over 12 hoursyesterday about the financial dealings of hiswife, said police sources.

A confession made by Ms Mukerjea to thepolice cannot be used against her in court.

Ms Bora died when she was 24; during herlifetime, she was presented by her mother asa younger sister, a claim Mr Mukerjea hassaid he chose to believe despite reports to thecontrary.

The young woman was engaged to step-brother Rahul, Mr Mukerjea's son from anearlier marriage. The relationship did not sitwell with the family, Mr Mukerjea has cededin interviews.

Along with Ms Mukerjea, her driver andher former husband, Sanjeev Khanna, aKolkata businessman, have been arrested.The men, the police says, have confessed tothe crime.

Police sources say the investigation is look-ing at whether Ms Mukerjea and Ms Borawere caught in a fierce financial dispute.

The Mukerjeas reportedly came into con-siderable wealth when they sold their stake ina broadcasting group in 2009 two years afterfounding it. There were allegations at thetime of embezzlement routed through proxyfirms.

China Building...the next 15 years.One of the new vessels is being built in

Shanghai and the other in the northeasterncity of Dalian, said the Taiwanese report,which was obtained by Reuters.

It gave no estimate for when constructionwould be finished.

Officer Leading...Bharat campaign that was launched last year

with massive fanfare on Mahatma Gandhi'sbirth anniversary on October 2. At the launch,PM Modi took a broom to a central road inDelhi and tagged nine celebrities, urging themto carry the work forward. Months later, criticssaid that photo-ops featuring VIPs swingingbrooms before cameras were more visible thanany signs of improvement on the ground. Forexample, some 80 lakh new toilets have beenbuilt across India but many of them remainunused because they don't have water.

Some reports suggest that the governmentwas unhappy with the progress of a project soclose to the PM's heart. Others say Ms Joshi,who had three more years in service, wanted tojoin her husband, who recently took prematureretirement to join a foreign NGO.

Minister Birender Singh has reportedly for-warded her resignation to the CabinetSecretariat.

Earlier this week, another senior officer was

shown the door as the government appointed anew Union Home Secretary for the secondtime in seven months. LC Goyal's exit wasalso because of voluntary retirement over per-sonal reasons; he was replaced by RajeevMehrishi, who was reportedly handpicked forthe job just hours before he was to retire.

But There...they passed no such order. Family mem-

bers of the two sisters also told Reutersthey are unsure if the ruling was made. Andlocal police deny any such directive wasgiven.

"It is all hearsay, we don't know if thisactually happened," said Dharam PalSingh, 55, the women's father and a retiredsoldier. "We heard it from other villagers."

The incendiary allegations were con-tained in a petition to the Supreme Courtfiled last month by a lawyer for the Singhfamily seeking protection for the sisters. Itsaid one of Singh's sons fell in love with amarried woman of a higher caste, leadingto a row between the two families.

In its most sensational claim, the courtfiling said Meenakshi Kumari, 23, and her15-year-old sister fled their home afterbeing told they would be stripped nakedand paraded with their faces blackenedbefore being raped to atone for their broth-er's transgression.

Rahul Tyagi, the lawyer who brought thecase to the Supreme Court, was hired by thefamily when the row over the affair startedsome months ago.

Islamic State..."There is no immediate threat (from the

ISIS)," Nirmal Singh said, when asked aboutthe terror group's activity in his state.

The BJP leader, who was addressing a pressconference at the Bharatiya Janata Party stateheadquarters in Panaji, said the media shouldstop paying attention to gimmicks like thewaving of the ISIS flag, because it was pre-cisely aimed at getting media attention.

"Tell me how many people are doing it? Oneor two. Thousands of people came down forprayers, and out of those thousands, two-threepeople keep the flag in their pocket and theytake out and show it to get media attraction,"he said.

"The question is how much impact theycould make? I tell you, a number of attemptshave been made by Pakistan by cross-borderfiring and all that, to push these terroristsinside, but they could not succeed except oneor two," he said.

The BJP is part of the ruling alliance inJammu and Kashmir along with the PeoplesDemocratic Party or PDP led by ChiefMinister Mufti Sayeed.

India Exit ...anticipated great things, including me-even

if he (Modi) were to do things, the market hadalready discounted some of that because ithad gone up a lot, and there was nothing newcoming from Modi. You can't just invest onhope," Mr Rogers told Mint.

The renowned hedge fund manager, knownto be skeptical about India, said he put hismoney in domestic equities last year whenPM Modi won a massive mandate. India wasamong the best-performing equity marketslast year, but 2015 has been a roller-coasterride.

After hitting an all-time high in March, theSensex is now trading at one-year lows amida global contagion triggered by concerns of ahard-landing in China and a rate hike in theUS.

Mr Rogers' comments strengthen the per-ception that investors are worried about theslow pace of economic reforms in the coun-try.

Foreign institutional investors sold a recordRs 16,877 crore in Indian shares in August,more than the previous monthly record of Rs15,347 crore in October 2008. The saleshelped push the Nifty down 6.6 per cent inAugust, its worst monthly performance sinceNovember 2011.

Market veteran TS Harihar noted that JimRogers may have been "nasty and perhapsunfair" when he said that he saw no hope inIndian markets, but added that the govern-ment must take his comments seriously if itwants to attract foreign investment.

Nitish Kumar, regional heavyweight LaluYadav, and the Congress.

The parties had combined in an attempt toblock the BJP, whose campaign is being ledby the Prime Minister, from winning thestate.

Our Monsoon ...Mr Rathore said the monsoon is not likely

to stage a dramatic recovery as the forecastfor September does not look very encourag-ing.

Though rain deficiency is posing problemfor farmers, but the earlier forecast of theIndian met department stands correct.

Before the onset of monsoon the metdepartment had predicted the deficient mon-soon. In April, IMD had said, quantitativelythis year the monsoon would be 93 per centof the Long Period Average (LPA), 7 per centbelow normal. Then later in June it wasrevised downwards to 88 per cent of LPA.

The phase one surplus, plus 16 per cent rainin June, became an opportunity for the privateplayer Skymet to take the limelight.

However, the IMD stood by its forecast thatMonsoon rain in 2015 will be 88 per cent ofthe LPA, means total rain between June toSeptember would be 12 per cent deficient.

Markets ignored IMD's forecast, govern-ment, economists and experts remained opti-mistic.

NASA's Soil ...return data.SMAP's radar allowed the mission's soil

moisture and freeze-thaw measurements to beresolved to smaller regions of the Earth - aboutnine km for soil moisture and three km forfreeze-thaw.

Without the radar, the mission's resolvingpower will be limited to regions of almost 40km for soil moisture and freeze-thaw.

However, the mission will continue to pro-duce high-quality science measurements sup-porting SMAP's objectives with its radiometerinstrument, the US space agency said in astatement.

"Although some of the planned applicationsof SMAP data will be impacted by the loss ofthe radar, the SMAP mission will continue toproduce valuable science for important Earthsystem studies," said Dara Entekhabi, SMAPscience team leader at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge.

On July 7, SMAP's radar stopped transmit-ting due to an anomaly involving the radar'shigh-power amplifier (HPA).

2 Kerala Men ...reportedly part of a group of 10 Indians

being monitored closely in the UAE for shar-ing terror group Islamic State's propaganda onsocial media.

The UAE has sent the two men back toIndia, but has not registered cases againstthem. It has also not revealed their names cit-ing security reasons.

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi'svisit to the UAE last month, the two countriesdenounced terrorism and agreed to coordinateefforts to counter radicalisation. About 40 percent of Indians living in the UAE are fromKerala, according to the government; manymore travel to that country every year to work.

Last month, the Centre held a meeting of topbureaucrats and police chiefs from severalstates to discuss the threat of young people inIndia being influenced by the Islamic State orIS, which seeks to establish a caliphate andnow controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq.

India's Black...black money.Switzerland has announced that it is

reworking its rules which could allow it toshare information with countries who want totrack down tax evaders on the basis of leakeddata from banks.

In 2008, Herve Falciani, an IT employeewith HSBC, released the details of citizensfrom different countries who held accounts atthe bank in Geneva. France then passed onthe details of more than 600 Indians to Delhi.But Switzerland said it could not comment on"stolen data". After an interview last yearwith reporters, the Indian government enlist-ed Mr Falciani to assist in the SupremeCourt-ordered inquiry to identify tax viola-tors and recover black money.

'Treat All Paramilitary ...Police, as "organised services".A division bench of Justice Kailash

Gambhir and Justice Najmi Waziri said groupA officers of paramilitary forces should betreated as "organised services" and thus begiven all benefits including non-functionalfinancial upgradation (NFU) from 2006.

The court allowed the pleas filed by morethan 200 serving and retired officers of theparamilitary forces seeking the court's direc-tion for grant of NFU to them alleging thedeprivation of the financial benefit is "affect-ing the morale and efficiency of the officers".

They had sought direction for central gov-ernment to treat them as "organised cadre"and grant them the NFU benefits.

"NFU is given to all other group cadre 'A'organised services but these officers weredenied saying they have not been accordedorganised service status," said the plea.

Shah Rukh Khan isperhaps the most dot-ing dad in

Bollywood. He loves to bewith his kids all the timealthough his crazy shootschedule hardly provideshim with that luxury. Buteven after that the manmanages to spend as muchtime with them as possible.We still haven’t gottenover his cute IPL appear-ance with his youngest sonAbRam. If he is hot, his lit-tle son is amazingly cute!But it doesn’t mean he isnegligent towards his otherkids. In fact, the man is ter-ribly missing his daughterSuhana and the way he isremembering her willmake you CHOKE!

Shah Rukh who is busyshuttling from one set toother since Raees andDilwale both are on thefloor, it seems is terriblymissing his daughterSuhana. He writes on

Twitter,

It’s a picture of perhapsone of Suhana’s eyes. ShahRukh you are just too

John Abraham has hitfilms like “Housefull2? and “Garam

Masala” to his credit butactor John Abraham saysinitially he was sceptical ofbeing a part of comedies.The 42-year-old actor willbe next seen in AneesBazmee’s romantic-come-dy “Welcome Back”, asequel to the 2007 hit“Welcome”. The moviealso stars Nana Patekar,Anil Kapoor and ShrutiHaasan among others.

John said he has a lot ofpeople to thank for helpinghim become better incomic scenes. ”Initially, Iwasn’t comfortable withcomedies at all. During‘Garam Masala’, my firstscene was with RajpalYadav and Paresh Rawal. Iwas shaken up. ”I was verynew then. I thought Iwouldn’t be able to do it. Igive credit to Priyadarshansir, Neeraj Vohra andAkshay for helping mereach here,” the actor toldreporters.

John’s filmography as anactor comprise a good mixof action and comedymovies ranging from“Force” to “Desi Boyz”.

Maintaining the balance,“Welcome Back” will befollowed by actor’s actiondrama “RockyHandsome”, which isdirected by “Drishyam”director Nishikant Kamat.John is also co-producingthe movie.

The film will see Johnre-teaming with Shruti.The actor said the moviehas the best action ever inIndian cinema. ”‘Rocky

Handsome has the bestaction till date in Indiancinema. It has the mostintense action. The filmhas the perfect combina-tion of action and emo-tion.”

In a departure from thelight-hearted multi-star-rers, the producer Johnhelms movies with serioussubjects– dealing withsperm donation in “VickyDonor” and “Madras

Cafe”, which was set in theperiod during Indian inter-vention in the Sri Lankancivil war and assassinationof former Indian primeminister Rajiv Gandhi.When asked how he makeschoices as a filmmaker,John said, “‘Vicky Donor’was a serious film. It was-n’t a joke. People enjoyedit but it was a very seriousfilm on sperm donation.”Just like that I produced‘Madras Cafe’ because it

impacted my life whilegrowing up. So, I will onlymake movies like that. Iwill produce movies like‘Madras Cafe’ and ‘VickyDonor’.”

The success of “VickyDonor” (2012) gave rise tospeculation that a sequelwould follow soon, withactor AyushmannKhurrana also publiclyexpressing desire to have asecond part. John, howev-er, begs to differ, sayingthere is no such script thathe would like to move for-ward with. ”‘Vicky Donor’is one such film where atthis point of time we wouldnot want to make a sequel.If we get a good script, wewill definitely make itbecause that’s the biggestproperty we have. ”Thereare some films that shouldjust remain like that.

Every film can’t get asequel. For example‘Dostana’ should not get asequel because when thefilm released homosexuali-ty was a taboo. You madethe film at that time it wasfine. Now if you stretch thesame subject the audiencewill say the original wasgood how did they makethe second part,” he said

John Abraham doesn’twant a sequel to Dostana!
