Kashmir issue: Both factions of Hurriyat reject Centre's talks offer
A day after the Centre tried to reach out to the separatists and asked them to participate in a dialogue, both factions of the Hurriyat Conference have rejected its talks offer.
Hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who recently came out against violence in Kashmir, said "I strongly reject the talks offer... We will not enter into a dialogue with New Delhi, quiet or open, unless India recognises Kashmir as dispute and agrees to complete withdrawal of army from the state," the separatist leader told reporters in New Delhi today.
However, he said, "If this is done, then a dialogue could be held to discuss the technicalities of implementing UN resolutions".
Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, who heads the Hurriyat's moderate faction, said there "is no scope for talks" in the present situation.
"Where is the scope for engagement, when a reign of terror has been let loose by them against the people for demanding their basic right?," the Mirwaiz told PTI.
Referring to the statement of home minister P Chidambaram in Parliament, Geelani said, "It (talks offer) is a conspiracy to discredit me. Chidambaram should bear in mind that my only objective behind appealing our angry youth protesting against the unabated killings on streets, was to prevent further loss of life."
At the same time, Geelani renewed his appeal to the youths not to indulge in violence and arson in the Valley, saying such actions were damaging "our cause" and giving an opportunity to others to project the "movement" in bad light in international fora.
The Mirwaiz said that the Hurriyat had proposed to the Centre certain necessary steps to take the process of engagement forward.
He said the steps were "demilitarisation and lifting the overwhelming security apparatus form Kashmir, revoking the various special repressive laws including the AFSPA and Public Safety Act and release of all political prisoners.
"But unfortunately no heed was paid, exhibiting Government's lack of sincerity and will and in turn discrediting the whole process of engagement," he alleged.
Home minister Chidambaram had yesterday asked the separatists to participate in a dialogue which the Centre intends to resume.
"I will resume the political process... I have impressed upon all interlocutors that I am willing to resume the quiet dialogue. We have to find courage that allows to hold dialogue. We have to get on," the minister had said in theRajya Sabha and "sincerely hoped" that the separatist leaders, including Geelani, would come forward for talks.

We have seen the Generations of refugees, the Direct Victim of Partition Holocaust which had been Represented by my father and he and his relatives , friends needed Passport to visit way back home in the Lost Village. As the Grim Situation in Kashmir is so neglected, KALMADI BABA and CHALEES CHOR are Free to defy the Parliament and Constitution, Democratic system as a whole, as Resurgence of Ram Mandir Movement and Volatile Ethnonationalism represented by the Shiv Sena version of Hindutva, as the Entire Himalayas remain under AFPSA and the Brahamin Finance Minister PRANAB and Gang ready to Sell OFF everything Indian, as IPL Sexy Scam and Defence Deal surpass the Hockey Disaster, as Reality and Realty take over the Nation, as Extra Constitutional Elements like Montek, Nilekani, Rangrajan, Maitra, Basu and so on represent India Incs and LPG Mafia defending MNC US Corporate and War Economy interests, as Chidambaram plays the dual role of Ramchandra and Indra to destroy Aboriginal Indigenous Humanscape, as Glamourous ICONS like Shakira , Maddona and now Julia Roberts represents the Expansion of Manusmriti Rule under Global Zionist Regime, I am afraid that I would be equally UNLUCKY perhaps to be deprived of the opportunity to breathe last at HOME as the Aboriginal Indigenous Masses have been worldwide for thousands and thousands years!

After eight days of continuous clashes between protestors and security forces,Kashmir today remained relatively peaceful.An uneasy calm resonated through the deserted streets of Kashmir as curfew continued to remain enforced for the ninth day today.The paramilitary's Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel,who were deployed on Friday, stayed vigil to keep protesters at bay.However,a 22-year-old youth Rameez Rishi who was injured in firing on Friday succumbed to injuries today.With Rishi's death,the number of civilians killed in security forces firing during violent protests here since July 30 has gone up to 31.

Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts has converted to Hinduism. She is a confirmed Hindu who now goes to the temple in LA along with her cameraman husband Daniel Moder and their children to "chant, pray and celebrate on a regular basis".Hindus have extended a warm welcome to Oscar winner Hollywood star Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) into the Hindu fold.

Philanthropist billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffet will approach rich people in India and China to urge them to donate at least half their wealth. The move is part of Gates-Buffet initiative, launched in June, that originally aimed at asking American billionaires to pledge that their wealth would be donated either during their lifetime or upon death.

The two now plan to take the idea beyond the US borders. "Mr Buffett said he and Mr Gates in coming months will meet with wealthy individuals in China and India to talk about the pledge in the hopes of adding more names from outside the US," The Wall Street Journal said.

On Wednesday, 34 people joined six billionaires, including Gates and Buffet, who have taken the pledge. They included New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Director George Lucas, David Rockefeller, and media mogul Ted Turner.

US has 403 billionaires the most in the world, and New York tops the list within the country. The number two spot is taken by to China, which is followed by Russia.

This year, the Forbes list of the richest people features two Indians in the top ten. Industrialist Mukesh Ambani is at the fourth spot with a networth of USD 29 billion, followed by steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal who has a networth of USD 28.7 billion.

Although China has larger number of billionaires, ten of Asias top 25 rich are from Indian, while China has one. These include Ambani and Mittal in the top two positions, along with Azim Premji (USD 17 billion), Anil Ambani (USD 13.7 billion), Shashi and Ravi Ruia (USD 13 billion), Savitri Jindal (USD 12.2 billion), Kushal Pal Singh (USD 9 billion), Kumar Birla (USD 7.9 billion), Sunil Mittal (USD 7.8 billion) and Anil Agarwal (USD 6.4 billion dollars).

Gates with a networth of USD 53 billion dollars is the second richest man in the world after Mexican telecom czar, Carlos Slim Helu who has a net worth of USD 53.5 billion. Buffet comes in third with 47 billion dollars and has pledged to donate 99 percent of his wealth.

"In 2006, I made a commitment to gradually give all of my Berkshire Hathaway stock to philanthropic foundations. I couldn''t be happier with that decision," he wrote in a pledge letter.

"Now, Bill and Melinda Gates and I are asking hundreds of rich Americans to pledge at least 50 per cent of their wealth to charity." Bill and Melinda Gates have given more than $28 billion to their foundation since it was founded in 1994 that focuses on health and education.

"We have committed the vast majority of our assets to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help stop preventable deaths such as these, and to tear down other barriers to health and education that prevent people from making the very most of their lives," Gates wrote in his pledge.

The September issue of women's fashion magazine Elle, on which Roberts, 42, is the cover girl, reportedly says: The entire Roberts-Moder family goes to temple together to "chant and pray and celebrate. I'm definitely a practicing Hindu. Roberts grew up with a Catholic mother and Baptist father.


The son of a Saudi Arabian imam, Adnan Shukrijumah, al-Qaeda's new head of "global operational planning", is using his unprecedented knowledge of American society to plot attacks against the United States and other Western countries, according to the FBI.

The Hollywood actress, who is deeply spiritual, secretly converted when she was in India last September to shoot for her film Eat, Pray and Love. Papparazzi following Roberts around here had photographed the actress with her spiritual guru Swami Shri Dharam at the Ashram Hari Mandir in Pataudi when she was seen wearing a garland and red teeka on her forehead. However, on that occasion, Roberts had angered the Hindus of Pataudi on the eve of Navratri when they were barred from visiting the Ashram Hari Mandir for prayers because she was shooting there with 350 guards, bullet-proof cars and a helicopter. Now the actress, who was born to a Baptist and Catholic couple in the Bible Belt of the US, is being welcomed warmly into the fold by Hindus in America. Roberts, who has just come out in the open about her new found faith, said, "I'm definitely a practising Hindu. I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life. Next time (since Hinduism believes in rebirth) I want to be just something quiet and supporting after the stresses of my celebrity lifestyle." In Eat, Pray and Love, produced by Brad Pitt, which is based on the best-selling book by Elizabeth Gilbert, Julia plays a recentlydivorced woman travelling the world trying to find herself. She visits Italy for food, India for spirituality and Bali, where she finds love. Roberts stayed at the Pataudi Palace in Gurgaon along with her three children and enjoyed everything Indian, especially the chicken curry, paneer, rice and dal makhani.

Orissa MLAs worried over safety of Konark Temple

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has assured the Orissa government that the Sun temple at Konark was "in good state of preservation" as members of Orissa Legislative Assembly today expressed concern over the safety of the monument. "The Prime Minister in a letter to Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has said the Sun temple is in good state of preservation," Tourism and Culture minister Debi Prasad Mishra told the House, during discussion over a calling attention motion on the issue of safety of the 13th century structure.
Stating that his department was in constant touch with the Centre as well as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) which looked after conservation of the monument since 1915, the minister said Orissa government in the meantime prepared a detailed plan for drainage of rain water from temple premises. Mishra was replying to NCP Legislature Party leader Amar Satpathy''s statement that water logging around the temple could pose danger to the structure.
"Whenever there is rain, water logging takes place at the Sun Temple," Satpathy pointed out. Many BJD members also supported him expressing concern over conservation of the world heritage.
"How can the state government remain silent when it is observed that ASI is not taking proper care of the monument," BJD''s Samir Ranjan Das asked. He also enquired about proposed global tender for conservation of the temple by the ASI. Not satisfied with the work undertaken by the ASI, local MLA Rabindra Mallick asked the Speaker to constitute a house committee to look after conservation of a rare monument like the Sun temple.
Quoting a report of the superintending archaeologist, Bhubaneswar circle, Mishra admitted that inundation takes place in the temple premises as water in the surrounding area seeps into the compound. "Steps were being taken every year to pump out rain water from the soak pit located at the western side of the temple.
This apart, water was also being soaked by sand in the premises resulting in quick draining," the minister said. Similarly steps were also being taken to prevent entry of outside water to the temple premises.
On conservation proposal by Indian Oil Foundation, the minister said he was in touch with Union minister Murali Deora to expedite Rs 32 crore project for conservation of Konark Temple.

Conflict between monetary & fiscal policies exaggerated: PMEAC

The PM''s economic think-tank today said it is an exaggeration to talk of any conflict between monetary and fiscal policies, a comment that blunts RBI Governor D Subbarao''s comment that central bank''s policies are increasingly getting influenced by fiscal compulsions. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a lecture at the University of Hyderabad, PM''s Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) chairman C Rangarajan also said there is no question of a super regulator to supervise the financial system.
"At a time like this when inflation is high, the monetary policy has an important role to play. I think the conflict between fiscal policy and monetary policy are exaggerated.
All that it means is there is a need for coordination between the two," he said. "I think the monetary policy has its own role to play.
There has to be some coordination between monetary and fiscal policies," Rangarajan later told newsmen. His comment comes barely two days after Subbarao had said its ability to conduct monetary policy freely has again come under threat due to the influence of the government''s fiscal policies.
"Like in most countries, in India too, fiscal stimulus was part of the crisis response and monetary policy had to acquiesce in elevated government borrowing. "Going forward, the challenge for the government is to continue the fiscal consolidation and for the Reserve Bank to regain the space to conduct monetary policy free of fiscal compulsions," Subbarao had said in the same city on Thursday.
Subbarao said the world over, central banks'' monetary space has come under the dominance of fiscal policies of the governments and our country followed the global trend. However, Rangarajan today said the talk of conflict between monetary and fiscal policies are exaggerated.
The PMEAC chairman also said there cannot be any super regulator to supervise the financial system. "There is no question of a super regulator.
The country has a system of multiple regulators and there is no unified single authority supervising the financial system," he said. The idea of a super-regulator came to the fore after the budget for this fiscal proposed to set up a Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC).
Later, the issue again came into the limelight when an Ordinance, issued to sort out the disputes between market regulator Sebi and insurance watchdog Irda on controlling Ulips, provided for setting up a joint mechanism to resolve any future jurisdictional issues between the two regulators on hybrid financial products. However, the RBI had expressed reservations that the Ordinance may curtail the autonomy of regulators, since currently disputes are handled by a high-level coordination committee headed by the RBI Governor, whereas the proposed authority is to be chaired by the Finance Minister.
While tabling the Bill, which was later passed by the Lok Sabh to replace the Ulip Ordinance, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee allayed fears of the RBI that the apex bank''s autonomy would be encroached through the joint mechanism.

Since in Hindu cosmology, souls can be reincarnated in other bodies, where does she see herself in the next life? "Golly, I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life," she says. "Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting."

Noted Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA), heartily welcomed Roberts into Hinduism. She would appreciate rich, diverse and long tradition of Hindu philosophy, and its interpretation of the nature of reality, he added.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that if Roberts needed any help in deeper Hinduism exploration, he or other Hindu scholars would be glad to assist.

Rajan Zed suggested Roberts to realise the Self. Ancient Hindu scripture Katha Upanishad points out that when wise realise the Self, they go beyond sorrow. Self is supreme and those who meditate on Self are freed from the cycle of birth and death. When one realises Self, there is nothing else to be known.

According to reports, Roberts has been interested in yoga for quite some time. She was in Haryana (India) in September last to shoot Eat, Pray, Love in an ashram.
In January 2009, she sported a "bindi" (vermillion mark on forehead) during her trip to India when she also visited Taj Mahal with husband Danny Moder. She has a production company called "Red Om Films", and "Om" in Hinduism is the mystical syllable containing the universe.


Shukrijumah came to the US with his parents as a young child and lived in New York and Florida. He assumed his new role in the terror group after two colleagues on an "executive operations council" were killed by suspected US drone attacks, the FBI said.

Investigators believe that Shukrijumah, 35, is "extremely dangerous" in part because of the experience he can draw on having lived in the US for 15 years, The Telegraph reports.

Shukrijumah has taken over a position once held by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 World Trade Center attacks, who was captured in 2003.

His role puts him in regular contact with al-Qaeda's senior leadership, including Osama bin Laden, according to an FBI agent, the paper says.

"He's making operational decisions the best way to put it. He's looking at attacking the US and other Western countries," said Brian LeBlanc, a Miami-based counter-terrorism agent.

"He knows how the system works. He knows how to get a driver's licence, he knows how to get a passport. He out there plotting the attacks and recruiting people," he added.

Shukrijumah is also suspected of playing a role in plots against the London Underground and in Norway that never came to fruition.

The suspect's mother, Zurah Adbu Ahmed, who still lives in south Florida, said the authorities were using her son as a scapegoat. She said she had not spoken to her son since the September 11 attacks, The Telegraph reports.

The US authorities believe he left the country in the late 1990s, visiting Trinidad and London on his way to al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan where he started with lowly camp duties.

Sat, Aug 7 08:31 AM Enlarge Photo A security guard walks inside the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium constructed for the 2010 Commonwealth Games...
From leaking venue roofs to inflated orders of taxis and mobile toilets, rows over New Delhi's Commonwealth Games have prompted Indian soul-searching and piled pressure on the embattled ruling Congress party.
Less than two months away, the event intended to showcase India's rising global clout in the footsteps of the Beijing Olympics has jumped more than 17.5 times over its first budget estimate and raised concerns some venues will not be ready.
(For a slideshow: Commonwealth circus, click http://in.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=INRTR2H349)
(For more Commonwealth stories, click http://in.reuters.com/subjects/commonwealth-games-2010)
The main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party have seized on corruption allegations to pan the ruling Congress Party, already grappling with protests over price hikes and the prospect of a separatist uprising in Kashmir.
And the problems with the venues have underscored India's infrastructure woes, long seen as a drag on growth in Asia's third-largest economy which hopes to match China's double digit rates.
Indian newspapers and talkshows are now debating what the row says about India's place in the world and whether the Games were worth hosting in the first place as the event could prove a national embarrassment.
"What it's brought out is the sheer inefficiency of the Indian state," said political analyst Swapan Dasgupta.
BRAZENING IT OUT?
In the latest blow to the world's third-largest sporting event, three organising officials were suspended on Thursday in connection with financial irregularities in the launch of the ceremonial baton Games relay in London last year.
It followed the government's anti-corruption watchdog identifying 16 projects with suspect financing.
Organisers insist the Games will be ready to receive the two million tourists and 10,000 athletes and officials expected.
But much of the capital resembles a building site. Piles of rubble and digging machines have squeezed even tighter the usual snarl of cars, rickshaws and bikes, upsetting residents.
Since its inauguration in July, monsoon rains seeped through the roof and walls of the Games' swimming pool complex, while a loose grill tripped and injured a swimmer at a recent test event.
"It's not an ideal situation but manageable. We are working overtime," said Randhir Singh, the Organising Committee vice chairman.
Congress has said India will pull through in the style of a raucous wedding where everything comes together at the end.
"There's an attempt to brazen it out," said political analyst Paranjoy Guha Thakurta. "There will be mad rush to complete this project just as the deadline is approaching, and then you appeal to people's patriotic instincts."
The Indian economy is expected to grow 8.5 percent this fiscal year. But inflation has soared to 10.55 percent in June and sparked street protests and rowdy scenes in parliament.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has already been on the defensive about the Indian Premier League (IPL). A row over financing in the world's richest cricket tournament, a magnet for business tycoons, forced a junior minister to resign.
"In the IPL, the sleaze showed up the frailties of corporate India which tried to run the event like a private members' club," wrote Rajdeep Sardesai, the Editor-in-Chief of the IBN 18 Network, in the Hindustan Times on Friday.
"In the Games, it's the soft underbelly of the State which is being exposed."

Zardari 'hurt' by Cameron's anti-Pak 'terror export' tirade
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has said that British Prime Minister David Cameron's accusation of Islamabad promoting terrorism has 'hurt' him personally, as his wife, Benazir Bhutto, had succumbed to extremism as well.

In an interview with The Times, Zardari said Cameron's jibe against Pakistan questioned his own credentials.

"Everybody is sensitive, as we have lost so many people, including my late wife. So to have your credentials questioned does hurt sometimes. No matter how brave you are, it hurts," Zardari said.

The comments came just hours after Zardari met Cameron and supposedly patched up the row which emanated following the British Prime Minister's remarks against Pakistan during his India trip.

Zardari described his meeting with Cameron at the Chequers, the British Prime Minister's residence in north London, as "very good, very nice".

"Politicians can always come together and find a light in all darknesses," Zardari said.

During the meeting Cameron promised Pakistan 35 million dollars in emergency help as the country struggles with devastating floods. (ANI)

Nelson Mandela may have fathered illegitimate child

Former South African president Nelson Mandela may have fathered an illegitimate daughter following an affair in 1945, his foundation has said.

Mpho Pule's claim matched the documentary record of Mandela's life, Verne Harris, a spokesman for the Nelson Mandela Foundation, said. But, Harris stressed that only a DNA test would provide absolute confirmation.

'This is the point at which we hand the matter over to the family,' the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying Friday.

Pule, who died last year, is said to have found out who her father was from her grandmother in 1998.

Now her children are continuing her fight to be recognised as the seventh child fathered by the former apartheid-era freedom fighter, the daily said.

While the allegation that the former South African president, 92, was unfaithful while married is not new, no claim of paternity is ever known to have been confirmed.

According to Pule's grandmother, Mandela had a brief affair with her daughter Seipati Jane Monakali in Cape Town in 1945 by which time he had been married to his first wife, Evelyn, for a year and already had a son.

Monakali died in 1992 without revealing her secret.

Pule is reported to have repeatedly contacted the foundation in the hope of meeting her father.

Her calls and letters went unanswered until last October, when the foundation wrote to say it had 'verified' the information she had sent them and asking her to contact them. Unfortunately, Pule had died of a stroke a month earlier.

Pule's family is now waiting to hear from Mandela's daughter Zindzi, who is said to be handling the claim. No one from Mandela's family could be reached for comment.

UN acquits Sobhraj, asks Nepal for his release, compensation
Seven years after remaining behind bars in Nepal for the alleged murder of an American tourist and having his 'not guilty' plea rejected by Nepali courts, Charles Sobhraj has finally a silver lining with the UN saying he did not get a fair trial and asking the government of Nepal to free him as well as pay compensation.

The decision, poles apart from the judgment handed down last Friday by Nepal's Supreme Court, comes from the Human Rights Committee, the wing of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva that monitors whether the countries signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights are implementing it.

In November 2008, five years after Sobhraj was arrested from a casino in Kathmandu, charged with the murder of Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975 and found guilty, his French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre filed a complaint with the UN, saying her client did not get a fair trial in Nepal.

During its 99th session in Geneva from July 12-30, the UN committee has ruled that Sobhraj was not allowed access to judicial remedies, the courts were biased and his basic rights were violated.

'In accordance with the covenant, the state is under an obligation to provide (Sobhraj) with an effective remedy, including the speedy conclusion of the proceedings and compensation,' the committee said in a statement dated July 27 that was forwarded to his lawyer in Paris on Wednesday.

The committee also noted that Nepal, by signing the Covenant in 1996, agreed to respect the competence of the committee and was obliged to prevent similar violations in future.

The UN clean chit comes as a shot in the arm for Sobhraj, who became branded the 'Bikini Killer' in Nepal as prosecutors sought to dredge up allegations of crimes committed in Thailand, Afghanistan and beyond without providing any evidence to prove that he killed Bronzich in Kathmandu in 1975.

The sole 'evidence' produced by Nepal Police were two photocopies of two guest registration cards they said Sobhraj had signed in 1975 when he stayed in two upmarket Kathmandu hotels, posing as Henricus Bintanja, a Dutch tourist.

The UN committee noted that though a court of appeals had thrown out a case by police claiming that Sobhraj had come to Nepal in 1975 using Bintanja's passport, Nepal's Supreme Court wrongly revived it.

In 1975, there was no immigration law in Nepal, which came into effect only in the early 1990s.

The committee, in its ruling, said the Supreme Court applied the immigration act of 1992 for a crime in 1975, violating the principle that 'no one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act which did not constitute a criminal offence in the time when it was committed'.

According to the UN agency, the trial was heavily biased against Sobhraj.

'The committee is concerned to note the assertion in both the district court (which first convicted Sobhraj of murder in 2004) and the Patan Appellate Court's judgments that if a person claims that he was in another place during the incident then he has to prove it ... the presumption of innocence , which is fundamental to the protection of human rights, imposes on the prosecution the burden of proving the charge, guarantees that no guilt can be presumed until the charge has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, ensures that the accused has the benefit of doubt, and requires that persons accused of a criminal act must be treated in accordance with this principle.'

It also came down heavily on the Nepal government for holding Sobhraj in illegal detention after his arrest in 2003 for 25 days without allowing him to consult a lawyer, having court proceedings in Nepali without providing him an interpreter and protracting the trial in the Supreme Court.

'Most hearings were cancelled or postponed at the last minute without reasons being provided,' it said. 'The length of proceedings and high number of postponements and cancellations can't be justified.'

Asked to defend Nepal against Sobhraj's complaint, Nepal's permanent representative to the UN, Madhu Raman Acharya, answered in April 2010 that Sobhraj's trial was conducted fully in accordance with Nepali laws. Also, since he was not a Nepali citizen and was a convicted criminal, the rights guaranteed by Covenant did not apply to him.

'This has no basis in law,' the UN committee said. 'Right of access to courts and tribunals and equality before them must be available to all individuals, regardless of nationality and status.'

Finally, the UN committee has given the government of Nepal six months' time to take necessary action.

'The committee wishes to receive from the state within 180 days information about the measures taken to give effect to the committee's views,' it said.

Laxman and Tendulkar help India level series

Colombo: VVS Laxman cracked a unbeaten 103 as India relied on their experienced batsmen to pull off a five-wicket win in the third and final cricket Test against Sri Lanka to level the series 1-1.
Laxman defied cramps and anchored the innings brilliantly to notch up his 16th Test hndred, while Sachin Tendulkar (54) and Suresh Raina (41 not out) were the other notable contributors as the visitors overhauled the target of 257 with about 10 minutes before the tea break.
Raina clobbered Chanaka Welegedara for a six to hand Sri Lanka there first defeat at the P Sara Oval Stadium since August 1994, triggering scenes of celebration in the Indian dressing room.
Chasing 257 on a rather difficult fifth day track, the Indians recovered from early blows suffered on Day 4 with a 109-run partnership between Laxman and Tendulkar that laid the foundation of the win.
But on the flipside, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men could not break the 17-year-old jinx of not winning a series in the island nation.
Resuming from an overnight score of 53 for three, India lost night-watchman Ishant Sharma (4) early in the morning. Ishant was caught at short mid-wicket by Kumar Sangakkara off Suraj Randiv in the morning. Randiv ripped in a flighted loopy delivery around off and middle stump, leaving Ishant bemused who looked shaky right from the start.
Tendulkar and Laxman then took it upon themseleves to steady the ship and steer a successful chase. Tendulkar was the more cautious of the two veteran right-handers, taking 106 deliveries to reach his 55th Test half century. He didn't celebrate much on reaching the milestone, but the Indian dressing room was up in applause for another of the iconic batsman's match-winning contributions.
Tendulkar had his share of luck in the early in the innings, when he was dropped by Tillakaratne Dilshan at short leg while trying to push a Randiv turner.The ball had gone off the bat and pad to the right of short-leg and Tendulkar, who was on just 18, heaved a huge sigh of relief when Dilshan spilled the opportunity. The Indian right-hander attacked Randiv thereafter by charging down the track, and driving a shot past the bowler for a boundary.
Laxman, on his part, leaned forward to an Ajantha Mendis delivery from the middle stump, and turned it on to the boundary, marking the 50-run partnership between the two which came in 92 balls.
145 for four at lunch, India still had some distance to cover before getting to the target, and there was a bit of drama to come immediately after the break.
Tendulkar was dismissed when Randiv flighted one outside the leg stump and the Indian, attempting a sweep shot, ended up gloving one to wicket-keeper Prasanna Jayawardene. His contribution to the win ended at 54 which came off 122 balls and included three fours.
But the ever-dependable Laxman ensured that his illustrious partner's dismissal did not trigger the kind of dreadful collapses that have cost India in the past.
The stylish Hyderabadi scored freely and his fifty, which came while Tendulkar was there at the other end, came off just 81 balls in the post-lunch session.
Joined by the in-form Raina, who scored a century on debut in the drawn second Test, Laxman ensured that the boundaries kept coming for India at regular intervals and he alone collected 12 of them.
The 35-year-old's body, however, started troubling him after he reached 60. Laxman was down on ground in pain before the 52nd over due to a lower back problem, which required the physio's assistance. But the gritty batsman continued nonetheless with Virender Sehwag as his runner.
He reached his century off 146 deliveries by striking consecutive fours off Mendis in the 68th over. Raina, on the other hand, rode his luck getting away with some edges that flew over fielders to play his role in the final outcome with a 45-ball 41, which included four boundaries and a six.
The 23-year-old left-hander has created a selection headache in the team by outperforming the injury-prone and desperately out of form Yuvraj Singh. Laxman remained unbeaten at the other end, facing 149 deliveries in all.
Sri Lankan bowlers paid the price for not being attacking enough and though Randiv managed to pick up five wickets conceding just 82 runs in his 29 overs, others, including the much-feared pacer Lasith Malinga and Mendis, failed to provide the breakthroughs.

Pranab arrives in Dhaka with $1 bn package, given warm welcome

Anisur Rahman Dhaka, Aug 7 (PTI) Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee arrived here today with a billion dollar credit package on a four-hour long visit, during which he will also call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Mukherjee, who is the first high-profile Indian leader to visit Bangladesh after Hasina''s tour to New Delhi in January, was accorded a red carpet welcome at the city''s Hazrat Shah Jalal International Airport.
A special Indian Air Force jet carried the influential leader of India''s ruling Congress-led government. His Bangladeshi counterpart, Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, received him on the VVIP tarmac of the airport, where a tiny tot offered him a bouquet.
"We (India) are committed to assisting Bangladesh in addressing its priorities for development," Mukherjee said in an arrival statement. His visit will be marked by the signing of a USD 1 billion loan deal, the largest line of credit received by Bangladesh under a single agreement.
Mukherjee, who is also set to hold talks with Muhith, his host Foreign Minister Dipu Moni and Sheikh Hasina during the tour, said Dhaka-New Delhi ties touched a new high following Hasina''s "landmark" visit to India earlier in the year. "A forward looking and comprehensive joint communiqu has been adopted by the two leaders (Hasina and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh).
I am happy that considerable progress has been made in the implementation of several important initiatives taken in the communiqu," he said. Mukherjee referred to the close bonds of friendship based on common heritage, historic, linguistic and cultural ties and added, "We need to continue to build on these commonalities and promote the well-being of our people to greater economic engagements.
" India''s Exim Bank will sign the USD 1 billion Line of Credit agreement with Bangladesh''s Economic Relations Division. The loan will be used for 14 projects, mostly related to development of railway and communications infrastructure in Bangladesh, particularly to facilitate trans-shipment of Indian goods to the isolated northeastern region through Bangladesh.
Commerce Minister Faruque Khan told PTI yesterday that Dhaka was expected to seek expeditious Indian steps to remove tariff and non-tariff barriers on Bangladeshi products in line with a summit-level understanding in January during talks with Mukherjee. Foreign ministry officials said the entire gamut of bilateral relations and issues, including sharing of Teesta river water, were likely to come up for discussions between the Indian minister and Bangladesh leaders and Mukherjee was expected to review the implementation of agreements reached between the two countries at that time.

Julia Fiona Roberts (born October 28, 1967) is an American actress first brought to the world's attention in the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman, which grossed $463 million worldwide. After receiving Academy Award nominations for Steel Magnolias in 1990 and Pretty Woman in 1991, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001 for her performance in Erin Brockovich. Her films, which also include romantic comedies such as My Best Friend's Wedding, Mystic Pizza, Notting Hill, Runaway Bride, Valentine's Day and crime films such as The Pelican Brief and Ocean's Eleven and Twelve have collectively brought box office receipts of over $2.4 billion, making her one of the most successful actors in terms of box office receipts.^[3]

Roberts had become one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, topping the Hollywood Reporter's annual "power list" of top-earning female stars from 2002 to 2006. Her fee for 1990's Pretty Woman was $300,000;^{[citation needed]} in 2003, she was paid an unprecedented $25 million for her role in Mona Lisa Smile. As of 2007, Roberts's net worth was estimated to be $140 million.^[1]

Roberts was the first actress to appear on the cover of Vogue.^{[citation needed]} She has been named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" eleven times, tied with Halle Berry. In 2001 Ladies Home Journal ranked her as the 11th most powerful woman in America, ahead of then national security advisor Condoleezza Rice and first lady Laura Bush.^[4] Roberts has a production company called Red Om Films, formerly Shoelace Productions ("Moder" spelled backwards, after her husband's last name).

[edit] Early life

This section of a biographical article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (March 2008)

Roberts was born in Atlanta, Georgia at Crawford Long Hospital (now Emory University Hospital Midtown), the daughter of Betty Lou (née Bredemus) and Walter Grady Roberts.^[5][6] Her parents were Baptist and Catholic.^[7] Her older brother, Eric Roberts (from whom she was once estranged, but reconciled with in 2004), and sister, Lisa Roberts Gillan, are also actors. Roberts' parents, one-time actors and playwrights, met while performing theatrical productions for the armed forces and later co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia, off Juniper Street in Midtown. While her mother was pregnant with Roberts, she and her husband ran an acting school for children in Decatur, Georgia. The children of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King attended the school. As a thank-you for their service, Mrs. King paid the hospital bill when Roberts' mother gave birth to Julia.^[8]

Roberts' mother filed for divorce in 1971, with the divorce being finalized early in 1972.^[9] The family moved to Smyrna, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta) in 1972, where Roberts attended Fitzhugh Lee Elementary School, Griffin Middle School and Campbell High School.^[10] Her mother re-married to Michael Motes and had another daughter, Nancy Motes, who was born in 1976. Roberts' father died of cancer when she was ten.

In school, Roberts played clarinet in the band. She wanted to be a veterinarian as a child, but soon after graduating from Smyrna's Campbell High School,^[11] she headed to New York to join her brother and sister Lisa Roberts Gillan and pursue a career in acting. Once there, she signed with the Click modeling agency and enrolled in acting classes. She reverted to her original name "Julia Roberts" when she discovered that a "Julie Roberts" was already registered with the Screen Actors Guild. Her niece Emma Roberts, whom Julia used to take to movie sets when she was a young girl, has joined her father and aunts in the acting business.

[edit] Career

[edit] 1986–1989

Roberts made her film debut playing a supporting role with her brother, Eric, in Blood Red (she has just two words of dialogue), which, although filmed in 1987 was not released until 1989. Her first television appearance was as a juvenile rape victim in the initial season of the series Crime Story with Dennis Farina, in the episode titled "The Survivor", broadcast on February 13, 1987. She appeared on Sesame Street opposite the character Elmo, demonstrating her ability to change emotions. Roberts first caught the attention of moviegoers with her performance in the independent film Mystic Pizza in 1988; that same year, she had a role in the fourth season finale of Miami Vice. The following year, she was featured in Steel Magnolias as a young bride with diabetes and got her first Academy Award nomination (as Best Supporting Actress) for her performance.

[edit] 1990–2000

Roberts became known to worldwide audiences when she co-starred with Richard Gere in the Cinderella/Pygmalionesque story Pretty Woman in 1990. Roberts won the role after the first three choices for the part, Molly Ringwald, Meg Ryan and Daryl Hannah (Her co-star in Steel Magnolias.), all turned it down.^{[citation needed]} The role also earned her a second Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress. Her next box office success was the thriller Sleeping with the Enemy, playing a battered wife who escapes her demented husband, Patrick Bergin, and begins a new life in Iowa. She played Tinkerbell in Steven Spielberg's Hook in 1991, and also played a nurse in the 1991 film Dying Young. This work was followed by a two-year hiatus, during which she made no films other than a cameo appearance in Robert Altman's The Player (1992). In early 1993, she was the subject of a People magazine cover story asking, "What Happened to Julia Roberts?"^{[citation needed]}

In 1993, she co-starred with Denzel Washington in the successful The Pelican Brief, based on the John Grisham novel. She also starred alongside Liam Neeson in the 1996 film Michael Collins. In 1995 she appeared in season 2 of Friends (episode 13 "The One After the Superbowl"). Over the next few years, she starred in a series of films that were critical and commercial failures, such as Stephen Frears' Mary Reilly (1996). Roberts overcame these failures with the commercial and critical success of My Best Friend's Wedding in 1997. She starred with Hugh Grant in the 1999 film Notting Hill. That same year, she also starred in Runaway Bride, her second film with Richard Gere. Roberts was a guest star on the Law & Order television series episode "Empire" with series regular Benjamin Bratt (at that time her boyfriend). Also in 1999, she starred in the critically panned film Stepmom alongside Susan Sarandon.^[12]

[edit] 2001–2005

Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy García, Roberts, cast of Ocean's Eleven along with director Steven Soderbergh in December 2001.

In 2001, Roberts received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich, who helped wage a successful lawsuit against energy giant Pacific Gas & Electric. While presenting the Best Actor Award to Denzel Washington the following year, she made a gaffe, saying she was glad that Tom Conti wasn't there. She meant the conductor Bill Conti, who had tried to hasten the conclusion of her Oscar speech the previous year, but instead named the Scottish actor.^[13] Roberts would team up with Erin Brockovich director Steven Soderbergh for three more films: Ocean's Eleven (2001), Full Frontal (2002), and Ocean's Twelve (2004). Later in 2001, she starred in the road gangster comedy The Mexican giving her a chance to work with longtime friend Brad Pitt. In 2005, she was featured in the music video for the hit single "Dreamgirl" by the Dave Matthews Band.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] 2006–present

Roberts had two films released in 2006, The Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web. Both films were animated features for which she provided voice acting. Her next film was Charlie Wilson's War, with Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman, directed by Mike Nichols and based on the book by former CBS journalist George Crile; it was released on December 21, 2007. Fireflies in the Garden, also starring Ryan Reynolds and Willem Dafoe, was released at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2008.

Roberts made her Broadway debut on April 19, 2006 as Nan in a revival of Richard Greenberg's 1997 play Three Days of Rain opposite Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd. Although the play grossed nearly US$1 million dollars in ticket sales during its first week^[14] and was a commercial success throughout its limited run, her performance drew criticism. New York Times' critic Ben Brantly described her as being fraught with "self-consciousness (especially in the first act) [and] only glancingly acquainted with the two characters she plays."^[15] Brantley also criticized the production of "Greenberg's slender, elegant play," writing that "it's almost impossible to discern its artistic virtues from this wooden and splintered interpretation, directed by Joe Mantello."^[15] Three Days of Rain received two Tony Award nominations in stage design categories. In 2009 Lancôme announced that Julia Roberts will become their global ambassador for their company.^[16] Roberts starred with Clive Owen in the comedy-thriller Duplicity for which she received her seventh Golden Globe nomination. In 2010, she appeared in the ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day, with Bradley Cooper, and will star in the film adaptation of Eat Pray Love. Julia Roberts embraces Hinduism in August, 2010.

[edit] American Girl films

Roberts has brought to life some of the books from American Girl as films, serving as executive producer alongside her sister Lisa. The company's product lines and services are focused on pre-teen-girl characters from various periods of American history, embodied as dolls and featured in narratives including books and movies. Roberts has produced four movies.^[17]

[edit] Personal life

[edit] Relationships

Roberts's personal life has often been in the spotlight. She has had widely reported romantic relationships with numerous famous men, including Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, Kiefer Sutherland, Lyle Lovett, Matthew Perry, and Benjamin Bratt. She was briefly engaged to McDermott, her Steel Magnolias co-star. She met Sutherland in 1990, when he was her co-star in Flatliners. In August 1990, Roberts and Sutherland announced their engagement, with an elaborate studio-planned wedding scheduled for June 14, 1991. Roberts broke the engagement three days before the wedding. Roberts subsequently went to Ireland with Jason Patric, a friend of Sutherland's. On June 27, 1993, she married country singer Lyle Lovett. The wedding took place at St. James Lutheran Church in Marion, Indiana, near where Lovett was appearing on tour with his band. In March 1995, the couple separated, and subsequently divorced.

In 1998, Roberts began dating Law & Order star Benjamin Bratt, and he was her escort for the March 25, 2001 Academy Awards ceremony at which she won her Oscar. Three months later, in June 2001, Roberts and Bratt announced that they were no longer a couple. "It's come to a kind and tenderhearted end," she said of their relationship.^[18]

Roberts met her current husband, cameraman Daniel Moder, on the set of her movie The Mexican in 2000. At the time, Moder was married to Vera Steimberg Moder. He filed for divorce a little over a year later, and after it was finalized, he and Roberts wed on July 4, 2002, at her ranch in Taos, New Mexico.^[19] On November 28, 2004, they became the parents of fraternal twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus "Finn" Walter. Their third child, son Henry Daniel Moder, was born on June 18, 2007, in Los Angeles.^[20]

[edit] Beliefs

Roberts disclosed in an 2010 interview for Elle magazine that she is a practicing Hindu.^[21][22][23]. Now, according to latest reports, she has converted to hinduism.

[edit] Charities

Roberts has given her time and resources to UNICEF as well as to other charitable organizations. On May 10, 1995, Roberts arrived in Port-au-Prince, as she said, "to educate myself".^[24][25] The poverty she found was overwhelming. "My heart is just bursting", she said.^[24] UNICEF officials hoped that her six-day visit would trigger an outburst of giving: $10 million in aid was sought at the time.^[24][25]

In 2000, Roberts narrated Silent Angels, a documentary about Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, which was shot in Los Angeles, Baltimore and New York. The documentary was designed to help raise public awareness about the disease. In July 2006, Earth Biofuels announced Roberts as a spokeswoman for the company and as chair of the company's newly formed Advisory Board promoting the use of renewable fuels.
