old Pakistan cricket cap-tain for his statement in India ahead of the World T20 tournament. “I have served a legal notice on Shahid Afridi and ‘de facto’ chairman of Paki-stan Cricket Board Na-jam Sethi for their love for India over Pakistan. I have also written to PCB

A female member of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) was one of two suspected per-petrators of a car bombing that killed 37 people in the Turkish capital An-kara, security officials said on Monday. The at-tack, which tore through a crowded transport hub a few hundred metres (yards) from the Justice and Interior Ministries on Sunday evening, was the second such bomb-ing in the administrative heart of the city in under a month. Evidence has been obtained that one of the bombers was a fe-

general and submitted in the Gujarat high court in 2009 and the draft of the second affidavit vetted by the AG on which changes were made. Two letters written by the then Home Secretary G K Pillai to the then attorney general late GE Vahanvati and the copy of the draft affidavit have so far been untrace-able. Home minister Ra-jnath Singh had disclosed

in Parliament on March 10 that the files were missing. The first affida-vit was filed on the basis of inputs from Maharash-tra and Gujarat Police be-sides the Intelligence Bu-reau where it was said that the 19-year-old girl from Mumbai outskirts was a Lashkar-e-Taiba activist but it was ignored in the second affidavit, Home Ministry officials said.

male member of the PKK who joined the militant group in 2013, the secu-rity officials told Reuters. She was born in 1992 and from the eastern Turkish city of Kars, they said.

The government has said it expects to officially identify the organisation behind the attack later on Monday. In its armed campaign in Turkey, the PKK has historically

struck directly at the secu-rity forces and says it does not target civilians. A di-rect claim of responsibil-ity for Sunday’s bombing would indicate a major tactical shift.

There are cricket-loving people here, much like in Pakistan. Overall, I’ve enjoyed a lot playing in India in my cricketing career”. Saddique said Afridi’s insensitive state-ment has not only hurt

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPolitics divides, sport unites..!If the Pakistan cricket team, now in India for the T20 World Cup, browses through this morning’s newspa-pers, they will find a major surprise awaiting them: Pakistani and Indian national flags being waved to-gether at the “World Cultural Festival” that was or-ganised by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, whom most nation-alists call the Indian “spiritual guru”. In the context of what is happening in India today, where any support for Pakistan is seen as seditious and anti-national, should this act of camaraderie, without drawing the ire of “patriotic” Indians, be seen as a sudden change of heart or a genuine desire of many not to mix pol-itics with cultural events, that should include sports as well? Cultural events, in any case, challenge the boundaries of nationalism, but flag waving at the sports arenas is a phenomenon unparalleled in its dis-play of nationalism. The Indian cricket fan the world over is recognised for his astonishing display of lung power and flag waving to support his team. The Tri-colour must be the most recognised Indian product in cricket playing nations and in places like England it overshadows the Union Jack as well. In fact, in the last series played in England, the predominantly “In-dian” crowd at the ground booed and jeered paceman James Anderson, giving the impression that the match was being played in India. This “Indian” crowd, most of them second or third-generation British Indians, holding British passports and for all practical purposes nationals of that country, don’t think that this act could be construed as “anti-national” in the country of their adoption. That they are allowed to do so without falling foul with the “law” is obviously a sign of the British being a tolerant nation that does not see in this harmless act signs of “treason”. The same holds true for the Brit-ish Pakistani youth, who fill the ground with a sea of green flags and taunt the English on the cricket ground. What is very surprising though is that majority of these flag-waving fans condemn such acts if they take place in the country of their roots. In many interactions with them, I have realised that what they consider their fun-damental right in the country they live in, is a right they would want to deny an Indian or Pakistani citizen, if he does that in his own country. An Indian waving a Pakistani flag or a Pakistani waving an Indian flag will be seen as a traitor. The rights and freedom of speech end when it comes to the citizens of the two nations, and any flag, other than their own, won’t be tolerated by these very freedom loving foreign “nationalists”. Is it that partition, religious strife, terrorism and the two countries’ constant war posturing, have scarred their psyche beyond repair? Not everyone, though, is infect-ed with this xenophobia, as I witnessed in the 1999 In-dia-Pakistan World Cup match in Manchester, which was played in the backdrop of the Kargil war.

A superb record of 10-1 in 2016 puts India as one of the sides to back through-out the tournament, addi-tionally so because of fa-miliarity with conditions and a trump card in R Ash-win, the second-highest ranked bowler in T2OIs.

Over 13 per cent of school-going children in India have turned myopic, an AIIMS study shows, adding that the number has doubled in the last decade due to excess usage of electronic gadgets. According to the Rajendra Prasad Center for Ophthalmic Scienc-es at AIIMS, the statistics for the disorder a decade ago was only 7 per cent. Among the other nations which follow the increase in the problem among its children are China, Singapore and Thailand. My-opia — also known as nearsightedness and short-sightedness — is a condition of the eye where the light that enters the eye does not directly focus on the retina, but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees — when looking at a distant object — to be out of focus. It does not affect focus when looking at a close object. “Very few studies have been done in India on eye-related problems and the myopia one is one of them. We are also conducting a national survey to find out other eye-related prob-lems among children,” said Atul Kumar, head of RP

Ajinkya rahane is an ex-cellent T20 player and he has proved his worth in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the past several times. In the Ra-jasthan Royals (RR) side, he has been one of their pillars in batting. Even in the international circuit, he has been able to make a strong impression in the Test and ODI area, but it is in T20 Internationals where he has not been a

Rahane has been in and out of not just the T20I but also in the One-Day Internation-al (ODI) side of late, and thus has not been able to make most of the limited opportunities he has got so far.

The Asian juggernaut in the farcical ‘first round’ of the ICC World T20 has rolled into the ten pin game. After Afghani-stan won all their games, Bangladesh have done the same and booked their rightful place in the WT20 Super 10s. And on current form, they should win one or two more as well. Having to play the qualifiers despite making the final of the Asia Cup could actually be a good

thing for Bangladesh. It helped them quickly shake off the loss to In-dia in the final and get back to winning ways. The victory against the Netherlands did just that, and they continue to ride the wave of momentum that they gained in Dha-ka. But do they have the wherewithal to progress to the semi-finals?

But this is going to be far more challenging because you teams from all over the world competing here.” In-dia’s group is the tougher of the two, with Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh to conquer in order to gain passage to the semi-finals. In 2016, India have beaten Austra-lia 3-0, Bangladesh twice - including in the Asia Cup final - and Pakistan once. For Kohli, and equally the rest of the squad, the con-fidence gained from such a strong run of form mat-tered but more important was consistency.

Hazlewood told report-ers here on Sunday after a Australia-West Indies World Twenty 20 warm-up game. The 25-year-old grabbed a hat-trick in the game getting rid of Jason Holder (6), Marlon Samuels (0) and Dwayne Bravo (0) early. How-ever, his efforts went in vain as the West Indies chased down Australia’s total with three wick-

ets to spare. Speaking about the hat-trick he said: ”On that wicket we were just told to bowl good length with the new ball. I just tried to hit the top of the wicket. I was lucky enough to get a couple straight on and they missed them. Pret-ty happy with the effort. There’s a few things to work on, but we are im-proving with time.”

When there is stiff competition between bats-men of same age group, it becomes necessary for those who have been on the fringes to make them count. Rahane might have missed out on doing so against Pakistan, but his failure against South Afri-ca — one of the rare T20 defeats for India of late — may prove too cost-ly. In the warm-up match against South Africa, Rah-ane was yet again present-ed with an opportunity to take India to a comfort-able position after they were two down for 16, chasing 197.

Along with Mustafizur Rahman, the trio has good control over yorkers, and is difficult to get away in the death overs. Mashrafe Morta-za’s medium pace in the middle is more than handy as well. With the return of Tamim Iqbal (from pater-nity leave), and the return of Soumya Sarkar’s form (from wherever it had gone), Bangladesh look a different batting unit. Both openers have given Bangladesh flying starts in first round, and the Ti-gers would want Sarkar to emulate his senior partner and bat deeper into the game.

come up and tell me that they want their daugh-ters to play cricket,” Sana said. Mir did let out a lit-tle secret that Kohli is the most popular cricketer in their women’s team, although her personal fa-vourite is Dhoni. “There are couple of names. If I

I don’t think there would be as much chopping and changing. We will have to choose according to the conditions,” he add-ed. Hazlewood’s hat-trick was not enough as from 72/6, the Windies rode an unbeaten half-century

by Darren Sammy and a quick-fire 33 by Carlos Brathwaite to overhaul the victory target of 162 with a ball to spare.Not ready to read too much into their surprise loss, Hazlewood said they would have gone about their job differently if it were a proper match. “Probably we would have gone a little bit different-ly if we really tried to win the game. If it was a game in the tournament it would have been different. We tried a few different things,” Hazlewood said.

Speaking On the impor-tance of value education in universities, Guja-rat Governor O P Kohli during his Gujarat Uni-versity convocation ad-dress on Sunday invoked dharma and stated that speaking the word today was stamped as being

communal. “We are us-ing the word value these days without understand-ing it…Value education is also called dharma shik-sha, but the word dharma has been so dishonoured that the moment you ut-ter it, you’re instantly stamped as communal. The word dharma is now in the category of un-


With the workers’ unrest against suspension of 28 workers at Tata Motors Sanand plant gaining ground with around 22 trade unions across the state coming out in support of the Tata workers here, the state government has pulled up its socks to find out an amicable solution to the current issue. La-bour department officials today said the process of recognising a workers’ union at the Tata plant (a key demand of the strik-ing workers) is on its way,

and is expected to be com-pleted within a month or so from now. Senior gov-ernment officials sounded hopeful of resolving the issue within a week or so. M S Patel, assistant labour commissioner of Ahmed-abad confirmed that the state government had in-deed expedited the process of recognising a workers’ union at the Tata Motors plant. “It should be ideally completed within 30 days or so,” Patel said. Around 384 workers including around 12 trade union leaders were detained by


Notwithstanding the hur-dles it may face, Gujarat Congress is hoping to pass the ambitious private member Bill demanding a separate 20 per cent reservation for Econom-ically Backward Classes (EBCs) in the ongoing as-sembly session by engag-ing in on the floor as well as off the floor strategies. The private Bill by Con-gress demanding separate reservation quota for EBC members of ‘unreserved’ category in the state was introduced in the Gujarat Assembly on March 10 by senior Congress leg-

islator Shailesh Parmar alongwith three other par-ty legislators--Balwantis-inh Rajput, Amit Chavda and Tejashreeben Patel. It is named as “the Gu-jarat EBC (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Bill-2016.” The Bill has been introduced in the wake of ongoing quota agitation by Patel community in Gujarat, which has helped Gujarat Congress to a great ex-tent in winning Panchayat body polls held in No-vember last year.


Dr. Charles M. Savage, President, Knowledge Era Enterprising Internation-al from Germany advised Gujarat Technological University (GTU) to bring lessons of Nachiketa and Mundaka Upnishada in

MBA program. He said that students should be made free from greed and self-interest. Although cor-ruption is a huge challenge world over, but we are fac-ing urgency (30 year win-dow) on the front of Low Carbon Global Economy.


It is most essential to pur-sue healthy and hygienic life style and provide ac-cess to medical facilities to the common people, for ensuring healthy and disease free life for all the citizens. Today, when the diseases arising out of unhealthy life styles are growing fast, medi-cal services are becoming out of access for common citizens due to forbidding cost. Consequently, innu-merable families are ei-ther getting indebted or large number of families are even deprived of their means of subsistence for want of treatment of the earning members of the

family. Akhil Bharati-ya Pratinidhi Sabha ex-presses its deep concern over this state. For the sound health, it is most necessary to accord sig-nificance to healthy diet, way of -living and lifestyle along with vir-tuousness, spirituality, yog, daily exercise and cleanliness. RESER-VATION for SC/STs is “just” but prosperous sections of society de-manding quotas is “not a step in the right direc-tion”, said RSS general secretary Suresh Bhaiyy-aji Joshi, as the three-day Akhil Bharatiya Prati-nidhi Sabha, the Sangh’s highest decision making forum, ended Sunday.


Knowledge Era Enterpris-ing International (KEEI) president Charles M Sav-age from Germany on Monday advised the Guja-rat Technological Univer-sity (GTU) to bring lessons of Nachiketa and Munda-ka Upnishada in its MBA programme. He made these comments while

speaking at an internation-al seminar on “Designing a New MBA Program for GTU” held at GTU’s cam-pus at Chandkheda. The German academcian phil-osophised that students should be free of greed and self-interest. He suggested that “instead of ‘Make in India’, India should im-plement ‘WISDOM in


A sessions court on Mon-day served notice to La-jpore Jail authorities here, asking them why letters written by quota agitation leader Hardik Patel, who is lodged there on sedi-tion charges, were not al-lowed to be sent outside. The notice was served by Principal Sessions Judge Geeta Gopi after Hardik’s complaint before the court that jail authorities were not letting pass letters written by him outside the jail premises, when he was being produced before the court as a rou-

tine procedure. This, he said, was being done by the jail authorities despite the court of Judicial Mag-istrate First Class hav-ing allowed him to send letters some three and a half months ago, Hardik’s lawyer Yaswantsinh Vala said. Vala also said that Hardik has complained that he was not allowed to wear slippers by jail au-thorities and was brought bare foot to the court to-day. Hardik’s complaint (on the letters) come fives days after police seized a letter along with a mo-bile charger and battery


After pondering over it for long, Gujarat Urdu Sahitya Academy has an-nounced Gaurav awards to poets and authors of Urdu language. Names of four persons have been announced and they have been conveyed individually about the academy’s decision. The awards are likely to be given in April. Accord-ing to sources, Urdu poet Shakil Azmi, academic

and Congress leader Nis-ar Ansari, Palanpur-based poet Musafir Palanpuri and Surat-based poet and former Surat Municipal councillor Vaseem Malik have been nominated for academy award for differ-ent years The announce-ment has been received in literary circles with applause, but there are many who are not amused because some senior writ-ers have been “sidelined” by the academy.

touchables. But this has never been the definition of dharma in our culture,” Kohli said. He referred to dharma to define val-ue education as it encap-sulates values, including truth, mercy, compassion, charity and purity. “All these are characterised by dharma and bringing these into one’s life is called dharma palan. This dharma palan should be a part of education, either formal or non-formal. Our education is incom-plete if we get only aca-demic education and lack value education, dhar-ma shiksha,” he added. Drawing a parallel be-tween the imbalance that has been created by the

dominance of science and technology over human-ities and social sciences and lack of dharma shik-sha in education, he said, “The debate is going on in the nation whether this dharma palan, which is value education, should be an integral part of formal education or not. Even if we consider that it is not a part of formal ed-ucation, it should at least be a part of education. Without this, education is incomplete,” he said. Commenting on the large percentage of dropouts, he said, “Even today, we have a large proportion of population that fails to enter the gates of a uni-versity.

Focus on this topic is need of the hour. He was speaking at International seminar on ‘Designing a New MBA Program for GTU’ at Chandkheda campus of GTU on 14th March, 2016. He said that Automation Technology i 4.0 is changing scenar-io of industries. Internet of Things can change business dynamics. We must think over how we can reconstruct our life, bring Digitization, Sus-tainability and Wisdom into active dialogue, turn MBA education into an Eco-preneurial Business. Learning community must be actively engaged in co-creating Low Car-

bon economy. Instead of ‘Make in India’ im-plement ‘WISDOM in India’. He advised to make MBA program SMARTWIZATION i.e. SMART, WISE and DIG-ITIZATION. The world is moving in the direction of STEM i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering & Management. Earlier GTU had 130 MBA in-stitutes, but within last 5 years the numbers has been decreased to 81 be-cause of non-availability of students. The Seminar was organised by GTU for discussing how to cre-ate balance between de-mand and supply of MBA students in industry, said.

person is Qayyum Kan-wal Fatehpuri, a former member of the Academy in its early years. He has authored four poetry col-lections, besides having edited the Academy’s journal Sabarnama. He was also a close associ-ate of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri. “The academy has overlooked senior writers like me for some unknown rea-son for a long time now,” said Fatehpuri whose first collection Sang-o-Gul was published in the early 1980s. To him, it is hard to establish the cre-dentials of some people who have been named for awards. “Something is seriously lacking in the functioning of the acade-my and something should be done if the credibility of its awards has to be saved,” said Fatehpuri, who had published an Urdu monthly magazine for some time.

the police here today as they were staging a protest outside the Ahmedabad district Collector’s office. They were later released. Umesh Rathod, a Tata Mo-tors worker informed that while they had sought per-mission to hold a demon-stration outside the Collec-tor’s office from the police on March 10, the request was turned down and they were not given permission. The situation, however, did not heat up even as workers were detained by the police. Shouts of ‘In-quilab Zindabaad’ filled up the air. As for the forma-tion of the labour union, it has been learnt that the company has requested that it be an internal union without representation from outside political par-ties as such. Patel said that so far the union comprises workers of the Tata Mo-tors plant, however, if the workers want to seek out-side support, it would be within their legal rights.

from his possession when he was being escorted out of the jail to be tak-en to a Visnagar court in connection with another case. Police have filed two FIRs against Hardik for receiving, bringing or removing “prohibited ar-ticles” under sections 43, 44 and 45 (12) of the Pris-on Act. Meanwhile, in an additional affidavit filed by the Surat DCB PI J H Dahiya before the court of Geeta Gopi on March 11, police had opposed the bail plea of Hardik. Police stated in the af-fidavit that members of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) to which Hardik is associated were behind the incident of February 18 in which a mob of 40-odd people put on fire a state transport bus following which an FIR was filed at Sarthana police station under vari-ous sections of IPC.

Dr Rajesh Khajuria, director of SMJV’s CKSV Institute of Management and Chair-man, Global MBA Pro-gram at GTU focussed on the importance of improv-ing communication skills and teaching business et-iquettes to management students. GTU vice-chan-cellor Akshai Aggarwal said that the university should a syllabus that took care of all the issues con-cerning industries. He also wanted students also tobe consulted while preapring the new syllabus for man-agement courses.
