US President Barack Obama is expected to undertake his first state visit to India in August or October, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said today. Returning from his two-nation tour of the US and Brazil during which he met Obama, Singh said these two months were being looked at for finalisation of dates for the significant visit.The most visible manifestation of a strategic relationship between two countries is cooperation in the defence sphere. When the Defence Framework Agreement was signed in June 2005, it was widely assumed that the Agreement provided a skeleton that would be fleshed out over a period of time. This article posits that many of the areas of cooperation identified in the Agreement are already "works in progress" and the forward momentum generated at both the political and military levels will only lead to closer defence relations provided the potential pitfalls are identified and avoided, and there is greater clarity on the end-goals of closer defence cooperation.

Dalits keen to learn Manusmriti
Sat, Apr 17 07:50 PM
Lucknow, April 17 -- Call it an impact of the social engineering effected by Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) or just plain coincidence, dalits are showing an eagerness to learn - as much from the Manusmriti as they do from the Sacchi Ramayan. On Wednesday, on the occasion of the Ambedkar Jayanti, both the books sold like hot cakes at the temporary book stalls put up at the Ambedkar Memorial premises. The owner of the bookstall Ravi Kumar Mehta said within few hours the copies of Manusmriti and Sacchi Ramayan vanished from the stall. Mehta is in the business of dalit literature for over a decade says "since years Sacchi Ramayan was among the top dalit literature on the popularity chart. The demand for Manusrimiti started only two years back", he said. "Orders of Manusmriti have been placed by dalit as well as upper caste readers he said and added the high rate of the book ( Rs 150) was no bar on its popularity", he said. Shiv Kumar, a resident of Ranipur village near Bakshi-ka-Talab said the dalits hated Manusmriti since it was considered the text of oppressors. The political empowerment has led to spread of the education among dalits, these days there was eagerness among the community especially the youths to read the book. Not only Sacchi Ramayan and Manusmiriti but also Chamcha Yug penned by Kanshi Ram, Bhagwan Buddha aur Dhamma written by Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Buddha Charitra Chandroday by Vineet Vikar Baudh, Main Bhangi Hun by Bhagwan Das, 1857- role of dalits by Satnam Singh, Dalit Dastaweg by MR Vidrohi were in demand at the fair. Another bookseller Moti Lal (60) said "I joined BSP on the call of Kanshi Ram in 1985. A resident of Shiyadih village located in Allahabad district, Lal started dalit literature business in 1992. Along with the books the CD of Chief Minister Mayawati carrying her message and public meetings is in high demand".
Large crowd was seen at the stalls selling the posters and stickers of Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and Gautam Buddha. Its celebration time for us said Akshya Lal a BSP worker the nation was observing the 119 birth anniversary of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar who had shaken the consciousness of the dalits and paved way for their empowerment.
Sonia-PM meet on Tharoor issue postponed! Prime Minister says that said India's problems are at home and "we have to first tackle our own problems. Mind you, the Ruling Hegemony Opting for Free Market Hegemony Democracy and Military Option depends on USA and Israel on Internal Security. The Strategic Realliance in US Israel Lead is not a Foreign Affair at all, it is all About Exclusion and Economic Ethnic Cleansing!Indo US Nuclear Deal is the Survival Kit for the Rotten Brahaminical System!
A decision on the issue of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, who is embroiled in a row over IPL Kochi franchise ownership, is unlikely today with Congress President Sonia Gandhi dropping plans to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss the matter. Gandhi is now expected to meet Singh tomorrow.The Prime Minister, who returned from his week-long foreign tour today, is also likely to meet some of the party leaders tomorrow.Meanwhile,India has made it clear to Pakistan that although action against Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed will help ease the strained atmosphere, it's not the only benchmark that will satisfy New Delhi before it can think of resuming talks.
Zionist OBAMA Escalates Global Hindutva Sidelining India! President Obama Targets MARS and Visits SENSEX India!When Obama comes to New Delhi, he would become the first US president in more than 30 years to visit India in the first two years of his first term. Jimmy Carter was the last to do so during his first term in office.The last US President to visit India was Obama's predecessor George W. Bush in March 2006. However, Bush visited India in his second term. So did his predecessor Bill Clinton.
US President Barack Obama has outlined his administration's new space exploration plan, vowing to increase NASA's budget by $6 billion over the next five years.
Speaking at the Kennedy Space Centre Thursday, where America's moon missions originated decades ago, Obama said he was '100 percent committed to the mission of NASA and its future'.
Obama said he wants to accelerate the development of a large, heavy-lift rocket to carry astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit. He called for a decision on the new rocket design in 2015.
He said by 2025 he expects US space exploration to reach beyond the moon and further into the solar system's reaches, aiming to send US astronauts into Mars orbit by the mid-2030s.
'By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth, and a landing on Mars will follow,' Obama told a gathering of about 200 space scientists and members of the Congress.
The president was making a trip to the heart of the US space industry, seeking to explain why he aborted former president George W. Bush's return-to-the moon plan.
'We've been there before,' Obama said. 'There's a lot more of space to explore.'
Obama has faced sharp criticism for proposing to abandon the Constellation moon programme after $9 billion has been spent, and to allocate $6 billion to support private companies in developing space rockets to carry astronauts to the International Space Station.
Meanwhile, US takes care of Indian Internal Security as Bengali brahmin Marxists seek Israel Help to fight INSURGENCY. Terrorist groups may be planning attacks in India, the US has warned in its latest advisory and asked its nationals to exercise caution during their stay in the country.
Alerting US citizens, the Department of State said: "The US government continues to receive information that terrorist groups may be planning attacks in India."
On the other hand, following NASA and Pentagon Designs, Indian Space scientists have started reviewing the flight data of Thursday's failed rocket mission, which was for the first time powered by an Indian-built cryogenic engine.A fateful but providential decision by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) saved a precious Indo-Israeli science payload from crashing into the sea in the failed GSLV launch mission Thursday.Nasa's new 'space robot' Robonaut 2, which looks like the secret Top Gear character The Stig, is set to step aboard the International Space Station (ISS).Top space scientists are analyzing flight data from GSLV-D3 to zero in on the reasons for the non-ignition of indigenous cryogenic engine which is believed to have caused the mission failure, ISRO sources said on Saturday.
The February 2010 bombing in Pune and the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai provide a vivid reminder that hotels, markets, trains and other public places in India are especially attractive targets for terrorist groups, it said in the advisory.
"Terrorists and their sympathisers have demonstrated their willingness and capability to attack targets where US citizens or Westerners are known to congregate or visit," the State Department said.
The latest advisory replaces the Travel Alert dating January 29 and will expire on May 30.

The world could be having apprehensions about China's rise but it wants India to grow and it is time to take advantage of the situation, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said today.
"Unlike China's rise, which possibly gives rise to apprehensions, the world takes a benign view of India's growth. We should take advantage of that (situation) because we don't know how long it will last," he said.
He noted that the world is not apprehensive about India and wants it to succeed.
Singh was talking to accompanying journalists while returning home after his eight-day visit to the US and Brazil, where he attended the Summits of Nuclear Security, IBSA and BRIC.
Naxals dressed in CRPF uniform on Saturday fired at the securitymen of former BSF Director General E N Rammohan, who is in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district to inquire into circumstances that led to the massacre of 76 security personnel by Maoists.Official sources said the Naxals fired a few random shots at the securitymen comprising CRPF and local police personnel guarding Rammohan at Chintalnar in Dantewada district. No one was injured in the firing.
Sources said the Naxals opened fire as they wanted to make their presence felt.
Rammohan is in the district to establish the circumstances preceding and the sequence of events leading to the April six attack in which 75 CRPF and local police head constable were killed brutally by Naxals.
69-year-old Rammohan will examine the response of the state police and the CRPF both during the ambush and the post-ambush relief and rescue operations besides suggesting measures to mitigate the lapses, if any, so that such incidents do not recur.
Almost a week after he told Barack Obama that India was eagerly looking forward to his visit, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said the American President would be coming on his first state visit to India in August or October.
"Obama will come to India in August or October," Manmohan Singh told journalists on board his special craft when asked about the US president's visit to India.
"Dates are yet to be finalized," the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister on Saturday returned home after an eight-day visit to the US and Brazil where he participated in three multilateral summits and held over half a dozen bilateral meetings with world leaders.
Manmohan Singh held wide-ranging talks with Obama on April 11 in Washington on a host of issues, including the civil nuclear deal, counter-terror cooperation and the situation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
Manmohan Singh had told Obama that "India was eagerly looking forward to his visit". Obama had "caught the imagination of millions around the world, including the people of India who were anxious to see him soon in our country", the Prime Minister told Obama.
In defence, take your time but hurry
Intro: How is India facing the challenge of building military capabilities in tune with its geostrategic aspirations
On the art of gun fighting, American Old West cowboy Wild Bill Hickock said, "Take your time in a hurry."
India's defence procurement authorities would also do well to heed the legendary gunfighter's advice. While defence bids need to be carefully scrutinised, decisions need to be made fast and contracts signed quickly, lest we lose out to other countries.
With global annual military expenditure topping $1,500 billion, and even though every fiscal India's defence ministry returns big amounts of the budget allocation back to the government, India is the largest emerging economy arms importers with the exception of China.
India also has a vast amount of unused defence production and development capability. We must ensure that this is fully utilised. This would require the support of armed forces, bureaucracy and industries, both in private and public sectors. Foreign tie-ups are a must in this day and age, but tech transfer and local production are equally essential.
Following the 1999 Kargil War, India signed arms deals worth $50 billion in the span of a decade -- for fighter planes, warships, tanks, missiles, radars etc. In the past three years alone, the defence ministry signed contracts worth Rs 1,35,000 crore.

India & the world - SEMINAR REPORT | |
| #94, 6 November 2003 | |
Indo-US Strategic Relations: Problems and Prospects Report of the IPCS seminar held on 31 October 2003 Bidhan S Laishram and R. Radhakrishnan, Research Officers, IPCS Chair:Lt. Gen. AM Vohra Speakers:Dr KP Vijaylakshmi, Air Marshal Vinod Patney, Lt Gen BS Malik Introducing the speakers, the chairperson said that the seminar should examine the past and explore the future possibilities of Indo-US strategic relations. In the backdrop of continued unipolarity, India needs to tread cautiously about pursuing its strategic objectives. Does India command any prominence in the US strategic goals and concerns? Should India take part in peace keeping operations in Iraq? Which direction might Indo-US relations be heading given the "shared ideologies" between the two countries? Dr KP Vijayalakshmi Dr Vijayalakshmi proposed to understand the entire arch of Indo-US engagement in the light of "three concentric circles". Such an understanding, she held, could be fruitful if one considers that effective leadership in the US has been marked by strategic shifts in the post cold war era. She maintained that South Asia has been in the backburner of Indo US relations. Of the three concentric circles, the innermost one is formed by Pakistan, India and the US and it impinges on the path Indo- US relationship is traversing. She also pointed out that there has been a shift from zero sum game to positive sum game. Since the late 1990s both economic and strategic relations have been intricately linked. The developments in Pakistan, usually with support from the US, have had implications for India. It was speculated that Kargil would change Indo-US relations but support for Musharaff continues because of linkages in the war on terror and oil and gas interests of the US in the region. The problem is that the US follows two separate set of policies- one for India and another for Pakistan. Dr. Vijayalakshmi stressed the need for following a "local" policy on the Kashmir issue. The second circle consists of Russia, China and Southeast Asia. She underscored the problematic nature of India's choice of strategic partners, maintaining that India's mistrust in this respect is a logical one. Herein she pointed out the Bush-Zhang meeting where Bush talked of "shared vision of two great powers". Stating that China-problem is a problem for Indo-US relations, she took note of the opinion that US is following a multi-layered approach toward China. She opined that central Asian resources will bring together India and US, which would imply that India will keep the security of the seas. She also thinks that the non-dilution of GOI position on weapons proliferation will dominate the relations. Some shared goals include counter terrorism, stability in South Asia, market access to energy and religious extremism. Stating that a third party has always moved into the relations, she suggested that India should pay less attention to this phenomenon. As for Russia, India's relationship is mostly in defence deals. She also opined that Russia now sees itself as a Eurasian power. The question Russians are asking is: will Indo-US relations chart new ways of choosing defense partners. The outermost circle is defined by India's increasing desire for unification with global formations. She concluded by saying that dual-use technology transfers are a major component of India's negotiations and purchases with the US and that US should declare an Indian foreign policy. Air Marshal Vinod Patney Patney started his presentation by referring to the "double standards" of the US. He maintained that they (US) are not averse to using power, and it works. According to him, close attention is to be paid to the US- Pak relationship. He opined that despite areas of convergence in the Indo- US relations, we (India) should keep a mind of our own when it comes to the areas of divergence. For the US, national interests define their whole approach and it is only when their interests are affected that they are interested in combating terror. That is how it is named "US war on terror". In this context he posed the question- what can the GOI contribute? According to him, India is a worthwhile power, can balance China, have markets and investment opportunities. He also underlined the need to understand the concept of strategic partner in terms of peace and stability at lower cost, intelligence and economy. However, the US wants to move to other areas, sell its equipments etc. but the GOI is concerned when it might get closed. It wants more technology transfers and joint research and development. Patney stressed that GOI must help itself as US interests and Indian interests do not always go together. While maintaining that it was wonderful to have joint exercises at Ladakh, he warned that the US might be looking out for Indian weaknesses to assess how useful they will be in an alliance. The desire on the part of the US to sell equipments also explains such exercises. He opined that GOI should not negotiate over its nuclear arsenals in the face of US opposition to making of ICBMs by India. Yet India should continue to engage the US. "Bilateralism with other countries getting somewhat stronger will improve GOI's approach to Indo-US relations", he said. Lt Gen BS Malik General Malik started off by saying that the "actual way of US thinking" is: whenever you are in "total security", you are thinking of "total war" and then of "total victory". Hence the US approaches various problems from a military angle. It is no wonder that the country spends 50% of its budget on defence. He pointed out that 38% of all its physicists, 25% of all mechanical engineers are working in defence related projects. He also talked of the increasing software content in defence technology and expressed worry that much of the software created in India may go to defence related matters. In the problem areas, too many jobs going to India is not something the US wants. However, it is realizing that India is too big a country to be "boxed in". He maintained that relations with Iran are very important, that opening of relations with South East Asia on the Indian part is good for indo US relations. Another problem area is that the Indian forces prefer to deal with the Pentagon while the US State Department wants to do the dealing. Gen. Malik ended by suggesting that India should seriously reflect on why its security concerns have not been appreciated. Discussion

We have established an Indo-US Corporate Sector Fund for HIV/ AIDS, which is a partnership among US and Indian businesses to fight AIDS. Six companies have already pledged a total of $1.2 million to the Fund.
The US Food and Drug Administration has given approval to 13 generic antiretroviral drugs produced by Indian pharmaceutical companies. These drugs can now be purchased as part of the Presidents Emergency Plan for HIV/ AIDS for use around the world.

Indus valley civilization
Indus valley civilization ancient civilization that flourished from about 2500 BC to about 1500 BC in the valley of the Indus River and its tributaries, in the northwestern portion of the Indian subcontinent, i.e., present-day Pakistan. At its height, its geographical reach exceeded that of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Since 1921 this civilization has been revealed by spectacular finds at Mohenjo-Daro, an archaeological site in NW Sind, and at Harappa, in central Punjab near the Ravi River. These sites, each of which measures more than 3 mi (5 km) in circumference, were once great urban centers, the chief cities of the Indus civilization. They had large and complex hill citadels, housing palaces, granaries, and baths that were probably used for sacred ablutions; the great bath at Mohenjo-Daro was c.40 ft (12 m) long and 23 ft (7 m) wide. Beyond the citadels were well-planned towns, laid out in rectangular patterns. Houses, often two-storied and spacious, lined the town streets; they had drainage systems that led into brick-lined sewers. The economy of the Indus civilization was based on a highly organized agriculture, supplemented by an active commerce, probably connected to that of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia. The arts flourished there, and many objects of copper, bronze, and pottery, including a large collection of terra-cotta toys, have been uncovered. Most notable, however, are the steatite seals, exquisitely engraved with animal figures and often bearing a line of pictographic script. On some seals are depicted a bo tree or, as some authorities hold, a Babylonian tree of life, and others have as their central figure the god Shiva, who later became preeminent in the Hindu pantheon. The writing, long a riddle to archaeologists, has yet to be satisfactorily deciphered; the language appears to be structurally related to the Dravidian languages. The origin, rise, and decline of the Indus valley civilization remain a mystery, but it seems most probable that the civilization fell (c.1500 BC) to invading Aryans .

More cell phones in India than toilets: UN
People in India, the world's second most populous country, have more access to a mobile telephone than to a toilet, according to a new UN report."It is a tragic irony to think that in India, a country now wealthy enough that roughly half of the people own phones, about half cannot afford the basic necessity and dignity of a toilet," Zafar Adeel, Director of United Nations University's Canada-based think-tank for water, the Institute for Water, Environment and Health, said.
The report is produced by experts who prescribe ways to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on sanitation by 2015.
They also urge the world community to set a new target beyond the MDG (which calls for a 50 percent improvement in access to adequate sanitation by 2015) to the achievement of 100 percent coverage by 2025.
Recent UN research in India shows roughly 366 million people (31 percent of the population) had access to improved sanitation in 2008.
Other data, meanwhile, shows 545 million cell phones are now connected to service in India's emerging economy. The number of cell phones per 100 people has exploded from 0.35 in year 2000-01 to about 45 today.
Worldwide some 1.1 billion people defecate in the open. And data show progress in creating access to toilets and sanitation lags far behind world MDG targets, even as mobile phone connections continue to a predicted 1 billion in India by 2015, according to the study.
The report says it costs about 300 dollars to build a toilet, and worldwide an estimated 358 dollars billion is needed between now and 2015 to reach the MDG for sanitation.
If current global trends continue, the World Health Organisation and UNICEF, in a report titled 'Progress on Sanitation and Drinking Water' in March, predicted a 1 billion person shortfall from the sanitation goal in 2015 - in all, 2.7 billion will lack access.
India opposes sanctions against Iran at BRIC, IBSA summits
Brasilia, April 17 (IANS) India opposed a drive by western countries to impose new sanctions against Iran at the recently concluded IBSA and BRIC summits here.
There was a free exchange of views on Iran, where the Indian prime minister opposed sanctions and advocated dialogue to resolve the Iranian issue, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma told journalists Saturday. Iran needs to be engaged, he said.
At the BRIC summit held in Brasilia Friday, leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) agreed that the sanctions against Tehran will be counter productive and advocated diplomacy to resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis.
IBSA countries are India, Brazil and South Africa.
Are mixed-race people perceived as more attractive?
London, April 16 (IANS) People of mixed races are perceived as more attractive compared to others, says a new study.
Michael Lewis of Cardiff University's School of Psychology collected a random sample of 1,205 black, white and mixed-race faces. Each face was then rated for their perceived attractiveness to others. And mixed-race faces, on an average, were perceived as being more attractive.
'Previous small-scale studies have suggested that people of mixed race are perceived as being more attractive than non-mixed-race people. This study was an attempt to put this to the wider test,' said Lewis.
'There was a small but highly significant effect, with mixed-race faces, on average, being perceived as more attractive,' he said.
The study could also have wider implications than just attractiveness.
First established by Darwin in 1876, heterosis (or hybrid vigour) is a biological phenomenon that predicts that cross-breeding leads to offspring that are genetically fitter than their parents.
As heterosis is considered to be a universal biological effect, it is possible that humans are also subject to its influence and helps explain why mixed-race people appear more attractive, said a Cardiff University release.
'The results appear to confirm that people whose genetic backgrounds are more diverse are, on average, perceived as more attractive than those whose backgrounds are less diverse. This can be taken as evidence for heterosis among human population groups,' Lewis said.
'This comes from the observation that although mixed-race people make up a small proportion of the population, they are over-represented at the top level of a number of meritocratic professions like acting with Halle Berry, Formula 1 racing with Lewis Hamilton; and, of course, politics with Barack Obama.'
These findings were presented at the British Psychological Society's annual meeting.

Tharoor's fate hinges on Manmohan Singh
New Delhi: The Congress feels that if a united opposition forces Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to defend Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor in parliament over the Indian Premier League (IPL) row, it would be a further embarrassment for the party and the government, party sources said Saturday.
"The party is not in a mood to defend Tharoor. The party also feels that it would be more of an embarrassment for the party and the government if the prime minister is forced to defend Tharoor in parliament on such a murky issue," a senior Congress leader told IANS on condition of anonymity.
Tharoor had Friday clarified that he had not misused his official position and his "mentoring" the Kerala consortium of the Kochi IPL franchise was within the "bounds of appropriate conduct".
He said in a written statement: "My role in mentoring the Kerala consortium was within the bounds of appropriate conduct for an MP from Thiruvananthapuram."
Tharoor tabled the statement in the Lok Sabha after opposition members created a ruckus over the row, alleging that the minister had misused his official position to help his friend Sunanda Pushkar get sweat equity worth Rs.70 crore in the IPL Kochi franchise.
The Congress leadership is apparently not satisfied with Tharoor's personal explanation as he did not say anything about his friend Sunanda Pushkar's share in the Kochi IPL franchise, a party source said.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who kept away from the Lok Sabha Friday when the opposition stalled the house proceedings demanding Tharoor's resignation, has handed over the issue to the prime minister, said a Congress official close to the party chief.
Tharoor's fate will be decided by the prime minister after he returns to India Saturday evening from Brazil, the sources said. However, some party members feel the prime minister might let Tharoor continue.
"The PM likes him very much. The only problem is that Tharoor is always creating a headache for him," another Congress leader close to Tharoor told IANS.
The prime minister is certainly going to discuss the issue with Sonia Gandhi and also with senior leaders Pranab Mukherjee and A.K. Antony, both of whom met Tharoor Friday and heard his side of the story.

Claim Maoists in the Bengal-Jharkhand-Orissa region have been given Rs 12.20 cr for this year
The Maoists operating in the Bengal-Jharkhand-Orissa region have been allocated Rs 12.20 crore for this year, of which 75 per cent is meant for expanding roots in Bengal, the police claimed citing information decoded from a laptop that was seized during a raid in a Lalgarh forest overa a month ago and which was believed to be used by top Maoist leader Kishenji.
The laptop, which was recovered from Metala forest in West Midnapore, was sent to experts for decoding of the files that has been done partially. A senior police officer said attempts were on to decipher more files in the laptop.
The police brass believes the Maoists have a huge annual turnover they manage from extortion money.
"According to reports of extortion cases, they collect more than Rs 100 crore from the three Naxal-hit districts in the state. The Rs 12 crore allocated would be spent only for paying their cadres, whole-timers and part-timers. The expenses on arms, explosives and electronic gadgets are much higher," said West Midnapore SP Manoj Verma.
"The armed cadres in Lalgarh are paid at least Rs 10,000 per month. The amount increases with seniority. The full-timers are paid at least Rs 3000 per month as pocket money," Verma claimed.
According to information available with the district police, contractors and those in wood business have to part with 70 per cent of what earn from every project and consignment to the Maoists. The government employees are also made to pay Rs 1,000 per month and the amount increases with their salaries.
According to the CID data, the state has 450 members of CPI-Maoists at present and there has been a 50 per cent increase in the membership in the last few years.
"The Kolkata City Committee, which was earlier considered to be a sleeping cell, has at present 100 members. Around 45 of them are underground and study at Jadavpur University and Presidency College. We have their names which cannot be divulged now," said a senior CID official.
Abhishek Mukherjee, a Jadavpur University drop-out who was said to be injured in a gunbattle with security forces some time ago, is the secretary of the Kolkata City Committee, the official said, adding whole-times get Rs 3000 per month.
"If the families of the whole-timers appear to be needy, they are given financial assistance. Selected young whole-timers are provided with laptops by the party for connectivity and for storage of operational details and strategies," added the official.
State DGP Bhupinder Singh said, "The Maoists have a peculiar theory of keeping a captive manpower. The ground-level cadres of the Maoists in the tribal villages are paid just sufficient to ensure them two square meals. If they rebel, the payment is stopped."
Bengal watches UAV demo
West Bengal is one of the seven Naxal-affected states that have been invited by the Union home ministry to Chhattishgarh to watch the demonstration of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be used to track Maoist hideouts. The state government has sent two of its officers for the demonstration that started on April 14 in the Dantewada region.
Maoist killed in Purulia
A Maoist was killed on Thursday night in a village at Bandwan block in Purulia district, said police. Manasha Ram's bullet-ridden body was recovered from Dulukdi village. Though SP (Purulia) Rajesh Yadav said it was not possible to say who killed Manasha at this stage, sources said Maoists Resistance Committee could be behind the murder. Manasha was arrested in June 2006 for Gurpana police camp blast but he was later released on bail.
Dantewada probe report by April 25: Rammohan
Sat, Apr 17 08:11 PM
New Delhi/Raipur, April 17 (IANS) Describing the firing by Maoist guerrillas on his convoy Saturday as a 'minor incident', Dantewada massacre probe panel chief E.N. Rammohan said that his inquiry report would be submitted to the union home minister by April 25.
'My work is on. There has been no ambush today. I will be finishing the work as per the deadline announced by the home minister (P. Chidambaram) in parliament on Thursday last,' Rammohan, former director general Border Security Force, told IANS over telephone from Dantewada.
He declined to say more, citing 'confidentiality norms'.
Describing the firing incident Saturday, Rammohan said 'a road opening party (ROP) of the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) was fired at by suspected Maoists a few km away from his convoy'.
He said security forces returned the fire and the leftwing rebels fled. Rammohan said the incident occurred in Talmeta area, around 5 km from the April 6 attack site, in which 75 CRPF troopers and a state police man were killed and eight security personnel injured in an ambush and firing by Maoists.
Rammohan, a veteran of anti-militancy operations in Kashmir and the northeast, was appointed April 8 as a one-man panel to probe the Dantewada massacre.
The panel's terms of reference include determining the sequence of events leading to the massacre and analysing and establishing the command structure of the security personnel there. 'The panel will analyse the decision, command structure and hierarchy and specific levels that took the decision concerning area domination operations and led to the incident,' a government notification appointing him said.
The panel has been also asked to examine the quality of the training imparted to CRPF personnel and the details of the standard operations procedure issued to them. It will also examine the response of the security forces and the police during the ambush and the post-ambush relief and rescue operations.
The panel began its work with a meeting with CRPF director general Vikram Srivastava in New Delhi, during which it familiarised itself with the command structure at Dantewada on April 6.
For the past week, Rammohan has been touring the ambush site and nearby places. He has met civil, police and paramilitary officials, villagers and the injured troopers. According to sources, he may meet relatives of the killed personnel and injured ones before completing the probe.
Automobile hub in Shalimar a success: Railways
The Railways today said its first automobile hub in Shalimar in West Bengal, offering logistical solution to car makers, has achieved success with several manufacturers including the Tatas using it. "Several players, including the Tatas with their Nano, have been using the facility for the last two months for meeting their logistical requirements," said Railway Board Member (Traffic) Vivek Sahai.Railways plan to operate 10 more such hubs around the country under public-private partnership mode, the draft policy of which was discussed threadbare today with industry representatives including those from Society of India Automobile Manufacturers here. Automobile hub seeks to provide car makers space for parking their vehicles in large numbers before dispatching them to the retail shops as per requirement.
The cars are transported to the hub through railway, also eliminating problem encountered in transporting cars through trucks. Chairman of Railway Board S S Khurana said with this project they are hopeful of cornering 20 per cent of the traffic from road, besides creating employment opportunities.
The endeavour could also lead to flourishing of ancillary hubs around the automobile hubs, he said. Other policies such as private freight terminal policy and special freight train operation scheme were also discussed with the chamber of commerce and industry at the meeting.
Over 150 industry delegates representing CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, Cement Manufacturers Association, Fertilisers Association of India, Association of Container Operators, Federation of Indian Mineral Industry and National Highway Builders Federation attended the meet. "We received some positive feedback from the representatives and had a detailed discussion about the schemes for any modification in our draft policies," Khurana said.
He said the new policy for port connectivity and other connectivity works was also discussed at the meet. A number of suggestions from industry delegates were also received.
These included construction of segments of dedicated freight corridor project, connectivity projects to link coal and iron ore mines, setting up of bottling plants for clean drinking water, construction of multi-level parking complexes at stations and laying of Optic Fibre Cables.
Tribal project in West Bengal lends a hand to education aims
hu, Apr 15 11:26 AM
Enlarge Photo A tribal boy plays with an unused bicycle wheel in Santiniketan, about 165 km (103... It's an ambitious plan -- giving all children under the age of 6 a free education among India's 1-billion plus population -- but at least one local initiative is making sure millions of tribal people with oral traditions don't get left behind.
In Santiniketan village in West Bengal -- the home of Nobel literature prize winner Rabindranath Tagore -- a voluntary initiative helping local Kora and Santhali tribal children to read and write Bengali is now so popular it needs a second building.
Bengali is the language used in local government schools and many tribal children cannot speak it when they start state school, putting them at a disadvantage and risk that they may fall behind from the start.
The Suchana project operates on a tight budget, using voluntary contributions, and last year, it had to cancel the annual picnic to ensure every rupee was spent for construction of its new three-room building.
This year, the picnic "has to happen, even if it's just rice and daal," says Jhuma Gonrai, one of the teachers.
Suchana hopes to add a second floor to the existing building and a separate structure with a clinic and more latrines -- giving more space for books, art and other learning materials.
Suchana's library has around 1,500 books and the children take one home regularly. There are also now six second-hand computers, given by friends and family, on which older children learn computer skills.
The project is currently working with about 115 children from the Santhal and Kora tribes. In this area in West Bengal, tribal people make up about 18 percent of the population.
In the district of Birbhum, which accounts for about 4 percent of West Bengal's 80 million population, the literacy rate among tribals is about 44 percent for men and a scant 18 percent for women.
Many of the children in these families are the first to go to school. Shanto Kora, another teacher at Suchana, was the first from his Kora village to go to college, where he studied Bengali and history.
Now, he's keen to teach at university and in his spare time plays cricket. "I'm an all-rounder. I'm a spin bowler and I'm good at fielding," Shanto says.
The lack of schooling for tribals is not just a problem in Bengal but in other areas of India where there are peoples with their own languages, often with only an oral tradition.
The government's Education Act of 2009, which came into force on April 1, calls for teaching in the child's mother tongue where possible. But there are few qualified teachers in Santali or Kora -- and little in the way of literature.
Suchana has just published the second-ever book in the Kora language, an alphabet primer, written by Shanto Kora, as part of its efforts to give local children crucial literacy skills.
"It's an alphabet with pictures. We have distributed it to the Kora children," the 28-year-old Shanto says.
"I wanted to teach. I like small children," he adds, sitting cross-legged on the red tiled floor of the building, where children gather in groups with their teachers in the open air or under the wide eaves of the building to learn.
"The first thing all the teachers did when the building was ready was to grab their own special space."

But, bad news for those who love news. Tharoor is articulate and his articulation was especially impressive because somehow NDTV never got around to asking him the obvious and important questions. Some examples; the list isn't by any means exhaustive. When Tharoor was replying to NDTV's first question on Sunanda Pushkar's Rs 70 crore sweat equity, the minister made great play out of the fact that he could not have guaranteed that the Kochi team would win. It was, he said, a closed envelope process. Indeed. But the point is not that Tharoor ensured Kochi would bid the highest amount. The point is that Kochi's management gave sweat equity to the minister's 'close associate'. Even if Kochi had lost, the question would have survived. Tharoor is in the dock because he was backing Kochi and a person he is close to was given a sweetheart deal by the team management. This is pretty simple, no? Yet NDTV didn't stop him; this was one occasion when an interruption was richly deserved.
When NDTV asked him again about his close associate getting Kochi team sweat equity, Tharoor spoke, spoke well and without interruption, about Ms Pushkar's experience in brand management, about team managements' seeking her experience, about how this sweat equity will make money for those who got it only after the team turns a profit, etc. All very well. But did he ever stop to think that his close associate getting a share of the pie he was self-admittedly helping bake was politically, at the least, a troublesome issue? NDTV never asked this. NDTV didn't say, minister you knew Ms Pushkar was part of the venture, didn't you, and you knew you were backing it, so, minister, didn't the conjunction of these two facts trouble you, especially since you are saying you value personal integrity so much? Tharoor said, quite beautifully, that he has been always seen as upfront. Jolly good. And that was the cue for NDTV to ask, minister if you were upfront, why did you not say your close associate was part of the venture you were backing, or if IPL rules stopped you from saying so (as may be argued), why didn't you think that whenever this fact came out it would look very un-upfront indeed. But NDTV didn't ask that. So, we got to know from NDTV's exclusive interview with Tharoor that Tharoor belongs to that exclusive circle of politicians who are a pleasure to listen to, provided you don't mind news interviews sounding like elocution lessons.
Arundhati Roy is very articulate too. And CNN-IBN's exclusive with her, not quite as exclusive as NDTV's exclusive (Roy has been on TV and talking about Maoists plenty of times), was also a pleasure to listen to, provided you could stay calm when you heard Roy's elaboration of the mining economy. Private mining benefits others' economies while wrecking our ecology, she said. It benefits our economy too, as a matter of fact, and while mining and ecology have a problematic relationship, condemning private mining because it is private is, well, a heroic reinterpretation of economic reality. Did CNN-IBN ask her this — a very basic point? No. Did CNN-IBN ask her to give some data when Roy said India's tribals were fighting their own annihilation? That's a big claim, no? If I say it, I have to support it. If you say it, you have to support it. If CNN-IBN says it, it has to support it. So why didn't CNN-IBN ask Roy to support her claim? True, CNN-IBN with Roy was better than NDTV with Tharoor. CNN-IBN asked more questions and more pertinent questions, for one. It also appeared to have done more homework. But where was the questioning that some of Roy's claims so justly deserved?
Roy said Indian democracy is only real if you stay in GK-1 (south Delhi). I stay in GK-1. So, maybe, I am biased. But star activists who habitually call Indian democracy fake must be interrogated more closely by those who, like CNN-IBN, believe that our democracy is real. Among the many reasons why it is real is because even those who move from five-star hotels to a nice house in Lutyen's Delhi —as Tharoor did —have to face questions. If only news TV, when it gets the chance, would ask those questions properly.

do not fear the Naxalites'
Sat, Apr 17 05:13 AM
Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram made a statement in the Lok Sabha on April 15, and replied to the debate on the recent killing of 74 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh. Excerpts from the proceedings:
This incident was a great tragedy. My first instinctive reaction was that something horribly went wrong. Preliminary inquiries tend to confirm that first impression... We have instituted a full-fledged inquiry by a very senior retired IPS officer with a distinguished record... I am confident that the report will come to us by the 24th or 25th of this month and I promise to come back to this House and share the conclusions.
I have prepared a statement which I read in the other House; I would not read the whole statement here, but I think, it is worthwhile to share some details. In accordance with our policy which I will elaborate in a moment, at the request of the government of Chattisgarh, 141 companies of Central Paramilitary Forces have been deployed in that state for anti-Naxal operations over a period of time. The 62nd battalion was deployed in March this year, to replace the 55th battalion. Earlier, the 62nd battalion had been deployed in Bihar, and had gained experience in anti-Naxal operations.
The decision to undertake what is called an "area-domination exercise" was taken jointly by the IG of Chattisgarh, Mr Longkumar, the DIG of that area, Mr S.R.P. Kalluri, and the DIG of the CRPF, Mr Nalin Parbath. It was a joint decision. The actual deployment was left to the SP of the district, Mr Amresh Mishra and the commandant of the 62nd battalion.
According to the plan, they were to undertake this exercise over a period of three days, including two night halts, between April 4th and April 6th. It is reported that they undertook the exercise... Sir, it appears that they came under fire at 0550 hours on the morning of the 6th. It is sad that some media said that they were sleeping; they were not sleeping. It was unfortunately a place where they did not have the advantage of either height or cover. Most of them died as a result of the bullet injuries. Some died because of crude bombs and grenades. The initial reports that appeared in the media are not entirely accurate. There were no landmines; there were no pressure bombs. Yet, many of them fought bravely and on the admission of the Naxals — they put out a statement — eight of the Naxal cadres were also killed... So it is not correct to say that these men did not fight back.
...There has been a grave tragedy and I did not lose my nerve, I did not lose my will. I have no fear. I do not fear the Naxalites. But if a horrible tragedy took place, I think, it is the moral responsibility of the minister to tender his resignation. And therefore, I tendered my resignation. ...The prime minister and the UPA Chairperson have rejected my resignation...
Let us have no illusion about what they want. Their goal is the seizure of political power. Their method is army liberation struggle. Their instrument is People's Liberation Guerrilla Army, which, they say in this document, will soon be converted into a People's Liberation Army. They call this "war". They call us "enemies". They call this hallowed hall a "pigsty". Do we still have any illusions about the kind of adversary that we are facing?
...We are not unmindful of the socio-economic causes. We have heard people say that there is no water; there is no development; there are no schools; there are no jobs; there is no employment. I do not disagree. But who can be blamed except ourselves? Can anyone in this House point a finger to anyone else and say: "You are responsible for this area not being developed over the last 30 years?" If there has been no development in Lalgarh — I am not entering into a debate but I am only reporting what people told me in Lalgarh — over the last 30 years, can anyone blame the Central government for that? If there has been no development in Chhattisgarh, can anyone blame us? Chhattisgarh was formed in the year 2000. There was a government in Madhya Pradesh for several years before that. There has been a government in Chhattisgarh since. If there has been no development in Jharkhand, can anyone blame us? Jharkhand was part of Bihar for many years. There had been successive governments. There has been a government in Jharkhand.
There has been a series of chief ministers in Jharkhand. The Central government has a responsibility but the state governments have equal, if not greater, responsibility on development. Likewise, on controlling Naxalism, the Central government has a responsibility but the state governments have equal, if not greater, responsibility to control the menace of Naxalism...
'You don't have the party or govt's support... you can lose even before the battle has begun'
Excerpts from the speech by Arun Jaitley, the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha:
We, in this House, are all one with the government in condemning this brutal attack on our security forces in which 75 of our security personnel have died and a large part of our weaponry has been seized by them. ...Regrettably, sir, the first five years of the UPA government, in the avatar of UPA-I, were, in fact, wasted, while not realising as to what the
seriousness and the enormity of this problem was...
What had happened in the last few days is disgusting. Look at the conduct of the entire Opposition on this entire issue. We could have all got up and said, "We want the home minister of this country to resign." The entire Opposition of this country, even one man, is not willing to speak in that language for the reason that we don't want a reason for the Maoists to smile and for the Maoists to rejoice the victory. Therefore, even though there was a monumental lapse on the part of a section of the security forces — and I quite concede that battles like this will be won many a time and lost many a time, but these are battles which are to go on — the curse of Maoism has to be eradicated and this is a battle that this country can't afford to lose. The home minister in fact, became a victim of his own idiom. He had used a particular phrase against the CM of West Bengal. When I read the response of the CM of West Bengal after this incident, I saw that from BJP to the CPM, everybody was speaking the same language on the Maoists issue. We didn't want to respond by snide remarks against the government or the home minister.
...But what we don't need is a government which tries to pull down its own home minister; what we don't need is a divided government; what we don't need is half the Maoists in the treasury benches who try and pull down the government by saying that the fight against Maoism must be diluted and that is what seems to be going on in the last few days.
Sir, compare the statement which my party spokesman and my colleague in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Rudy, made, with the response that the CM of West Bengal made. After being at the receiving end of a snide remark, he showed statesmanship. The BJP showed the statesmanship when the country was under the attack of Maoists. What is the ruling party and the home minister's own party doing? You have a senior leader of the party writing a signed article...
If a satyagraha before the Maoists could resolve this issue, we will all join this great author and office-bearer of the Congress party. If development activity was possible when 75 policemen were being slaughtered when they entered that area; if it is possible to enter that area and start building roads, start setting up industries, start building hospitals and nothing will happen to them, if somebody was to narrate such a fairy tale to us, it may sound very impressive, but then that someone is not living in the real world.
...I consciously used the words that there are Maoists who indulge in violence and there are those who do not indulge in violence but these are half Maoists when they speak this language. You don't see a single Maoist in Lalgarh, you don't see a single Maoist elsewhere and you say that the joint operation, which the government of India and the states have launched — I hereby defy the collective responsibility principle — should be called off! I think such a minister should be called to the Bar of this House and asked to explain the statement which defies all federal principles...
Is this the manner in which this menace of Maoism is going to be fought? You certainly need a strong head and a strong heart, but you also need a strong government, you also need a strong party and what is fatal to this operation is the fact that you don't have the support of that party or that government in carrying on this operation and if you are isolated in this, which the effort seems to be, then certainly you can lose this battle even before the battle has actually begun.
It appears that the home minister, in his approach, is under gherao from his own party, under gherao from his own colleagues in the government. At some stage, while he decides the future course of action, he will have to choose whether his commitment to the cause of eradicating Maoist violence in this country, his loyalty to the country, will prevail or his discipline towards his party, where he succumbs to the pressure and says, let a crippled battle against the Maoists go on...
...Your party colleagues, Mr Home Minister, are seriously mistaken. Maoism is not a poverty eradication scheme. It is a democracy elimination scheme. And, those misconceived advisers who tell you to stop halfway and give up this battle and turn to a situation where you only keep trying and failing and not being able to achieve the required figures of development, then, probably, you will never be able to do so.
Indian ExpressSat, Apr 17 05:13 AM
One can only imagine what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, dealing with great power politics in Washington DC and Brasilia, will have felt as, in the middle of a foreign tour, one of the junior ministers in his foreign ministry suddenly caused, once again, a major controversy. One can only picture the frustration of the UPA's parliamentary managers as the Houses of Parliament had to be adjourned as the opposition happily sailed into the ruling Congress, now looking particularly inept and unable to control a loose cannon in its midst. The links, now plain, between Shashi Tharoor and the consortium that successfully bid for the Kochi franchise in the Indian Premier League have damaged, certainly, the league's credibility, and further eroded Tharoor's; but allowing him to stick around much longer puts a Shashi-sized hole in the UPA's and the cabinet's standing as well.
The simple conclusion: politically, Tharoor is now too much of a liability to have around. There is no reason why a government that has an ambitious legislative agenda, that has to carefully manage its majority in Parliament as well as its support from the party, needs to put any of that at risk for one minister — particularly one who is far from irreplaceable at the job he does. Fresh revelations emerged on Friday about the nature of the share that Tharoor's friend Sunanda Pushkar has in the Kochi franchise: it is "undilutable", meaning that regardless of how much money other investors put in, Pushkar's share will remain the same. This is, by any standards, a windfall; and no amount of wriggling will alter the fact that a minister of the Government of India has directly lobbied for a consortium that so tremendously benefits a close associate. The government must know that defending such behaviour would not be without consequence to itself.
So why is he still around? Why does the finance minister, the senior-most member of the government in the absence of the PM, have to give up precious time to meet him several times a day? Why is the UPA chairperson forced to spend time and effort dealing with the mess that Tharoor has caused? The longer the party tries to ride this out, the more closely will the party and government be associated with the kind of impropriety Tharoor is accused of. It is time to bring to this unfortunate sequence of events its long-anticipated end.

| US figures out 'love-starved' India All-year events for happiness | ||
| K.P. NAYAR | ||
Washington, April 12: If Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived in Washington apprehensive about the recent twists and turns in Indo-US relations, he will return home satisfied that the single foreign policy priority on which he has staked his prestige and political capital is by no means about to unravel. The White House, rattled by a series of bumps in the relationship since Singh's state visit to Washington last November, has concluded that the best way to keep New Delhi happy is to resort to non-stop protestations of America's love for India in such a way that Indians are constantly reminded that their country is always in the thoughts of President Barack Obama. As a result, during a 50-minute meeting yesterday between Singh and Obama and at other high-level bilateral meetings that are under way at the time of writing, the Americans have proposed a series of events for the rest of this year which will keep Indo-US relations continuously in the public eye. These events are designed to give precedence to form over substance so that there is little room for anyone in New Delhi to pause to consider the wisdom of investing in a bilateral relationship which has the appearance of an eternal spring. About six weeks after the Prime Minister returns to New Delhi on April 17, Washington will play host to another high-profile Indo-US engagement: external affairs minister S.M. Krishna has been invited by US secretary of state Hillary Clinton for a "strategic dialogue" here on June 3 as a follow up to her own visit to India last year. The state department is determined that Krishna's visit here must surpass in form — if not in substance — a similar strategic dialogue held with Pakistan in Washington last month so that the Indians have no gripe about any step-motherly treatment by Obama's people. The Americans are taking care to ensure that the June 3 conclave is high on sentiment, which the Indians revel in. They have already arranged for Krishna to receive this year's Distinguished Global Alumni Award of the Dedman School of Law of the Southern Methodist University in Dallas during the minister's visit. That is the university from which Krishna obtained his Master of Laws degree in 1959. The award ceremony is being planned as an occasion for both sides to be highly sentimental about Indo-US relations and how much they have changed in half a century since Krishna was a student in Dallas and later in Washington. The Americans are already stressing that Krishna "is the only person outside the US selected by the awards committee this year" much the same way the White House carried on endlessly that the Prime Minister's visit here last November was the first state visit under the Obama presidency and that the dinner for Singh was the first state dinner at the White House hosted by the current President. About three weeks after Krishna is feted, Obama and Singh will be together under the spotlight again to proclaim their eternal friendship when they meet in Toronto for a Group of Twenty (G-20) summit. A few months later, the US President and First Lady Michelle Obama will make their state visit to India: the preparations and the execution of that visit, which will have a historic resonance, it is hoped, will be a celebration of Indo-US friendship, the impact of which will hopefully spill over into the next year. In case the relationship develops any creases in the meantime, Singh and Obama will have yet another opportunity to publicly rededicate themselves to Indo-US friendship when they are together in Seoul for a second G-20 summit this year. The Americans are hoping that there will be other occasions in between to remind Indians that their bilateral ties are, indeed, flourishing. One source present at Singh's meeting with Obama at Blair House, the presidential guest house, said it was like a symphony with an overture and two movements. One American source said their side was surprised that Singh was more eloquent during the movements of the symphony than on any previous occasion during their six year-long interaction with him as Prime Minister. A high note was when the Prime Minister told Obama that because all was well in Indo-US relations there was the danger of complacency setting in and affecting friendship. Another source described Indo-US relations so far since 1999 as a courtship which was now being transformed into a marriage with its advantages and pitfalls. |
