WASHINGTON, AUG 11 (IANS): A “potentially hazardous” giant asteroid is likely to come within about 4.3 million km of Earth on Friday, according to NASA. The asteroid, named 2015 FF, has an estimated diameter between 13 and 28 metres, according to NA SA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). It will zoom past the Earth at a speed of about 33,012 km/h, Live Science reported.NASA defines any space object that comes within 193 million km of Earth as a “near-Earth ob ject” and any fast-moving object within 7.5 million km as “potentially hazardous.” NASA has estimated the trajectories of all the near-Earth objects beyond the end of the century. Cur rently the Earth faces no known danger from an apoc alyptic asteroid collision for at least the next 100 years. Several space agencies are already working on ways to possibly deflect asteroids flying straight at Earth. Last November NASA launched a spacecraft, which plans to redirect a nonhazardous asteroid by ramming it off course.

NEW DELHI/GUWAHA TI, AUG 11 (AGENCIES): North East Students’ Forum on Delimitation (NESFOD) will be holding a mass rally on August 12 in New Delhi as a mark of protest against delay in delimitation exer cise in four NE states. Terming the delay as injustice and discrimination meted out to the people of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland, NESFOD said the rally for justice will held at Jan tar Mantar at 11 a.m. on August 12. “Injustice and discrimination have been meted out to the people of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland by withholding Delimitation exercise for more than a de cade now,” NESFOD stated. According to reports, Supreme Court of India accepted a Public Interest Litigation filed by the De limitation Demand Com mittee (DDCNE) for the North Eastern states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Manipur. DDCNE had filed a public interest litigation suit in the Supreme Court, after which the apex court sent notices to the Election Commission, Home Min istry, and Ministry of Law and Justice on July 25. In their petition, DDCNE had stated that selectively deny ing delimitation to these four North Eastern states, while being conducted in the rest of India, was in viola tion of the fundamental right under Article 14 of the Constitution.APresidential order from February 28, 2020, had asked for a delimitation exercise in these four states; subsequently, in a notifica tion issued on March 6, 2020, the Centre constituted a Delimitation Commission for the purpose of delimita tion of assembly and parlia mentary constituencies in the union territory of Jam mu and Kashmir, and the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Na galand. The Centre appoint ed retired Justice RP Desai as the chairperson, but the exercise was restricted only to J&K. DDCNE said it had submitted a memorandum in 2021 and 2022 to Prime Minister but did not receive any response.“Therefore, the people of the four NE states have exhausted all available rem edies as all our petitions and memorandums to the authorities concerned have fallen on deaf ears. Our only available hope is now to knock on the door of the court to deliver justice as all other government machin eries have failed to do so,” it added.

He said a pre-poll merger was ruled out for the sake of prevent ing a negative vote backlash against the BJP. He claimed that postelection, NDPP will merge with BJP to fulfil the saffron party’s dream of making” Nagaland as one of the first Christian State to be ruled by BJP”. He said if successful, BJP would showcase to the world and others that it was ruling a Christian society. Therie alleged that for BJP forming a government in Nagaland after post-poll merger was more impor tant than “settlement of the Naga political issue.” He also said as for the government of India and the BJP, cease fire was a solution to the political problem. He warned that if ceasefire rules and and agreed points were not im plemented, then Nagas of Nagaland would continue to suffer unlike Nagas of other States. He claimed that the UDA government in Nagaland supported the Centre and Nagas outside Nagaland.“Even after 25 years of peace process nothing has happened”. He asked that if a BJP government was installed in the post-poll sce nario, “do you think they will resign and pave the way?” He said no BJP legislator would resign and the issue of resolving the Naga issue will die its own death. Reacting to NDPP president Chingwang Konyak’s statement that the legislators would resign only after a final agree ment is signed and BJP’s promise of “election for solution”, Therie accused NDPP and BJP of “betray ing and lying to the people” and called upon Nagas to decide whether they wanted a BJP government or a secu lar government in the State.

GUWAHATI, AUG 11 (PTI): Assam on Thursday proposed that the regional committees formed by gov ernments of the state and Arunachal Pradesh to re solve differences along the interstate boundary should complete their joint inspec tion of the disputed areas by August end. The committees will thereafter submit reports to their respective govern ments by September 15, the Assam regional committee decided at a meeting here. Assam cabinet min ister Ashok Singhal, who was present at the meeting, said the decisions will be communicated to the panel concerned in Arunachal Pradesh.“We want to complete the joint inspections by the end of this month and then submit our findings to the respective governments by September 15. We will dis cuss this further with our counterparts of the neigh bouring state and finalise the schedule,” he said. The committees were formed following a discus sion between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Arunachal Pradesh counterpart Pema Khandu on July 15, which resulted in the signing of the ‘Namsai Declaration’. The two North-east ern neighbours have also decided to restrict the num ber of ‘disputed villages’ to 86 instead of the previous 123, and try to resolve the rest of the issues by Sep temberThursday’s15. meeting of the regional committee was chaired by state Border Protection and Develop ment department minister Atul Bora. Several other ministers and senior offi cials were also present. The two states share an 804.1 km-long bor der. The grievance of Arunachal Pradesh which was made a union terri tory in 1972 is that several forested tracts in the plains that had traditionally be longed to hill tribal chiefs and communities were unilaterally transferred to Assam.After Arunachal Pradesh achieved state hood in 1987, a tripartite committee was appoint ed which recommended that certain territories be transferred from Assam to Arunachal. Assam con tested this and the matter is in the Supreme Court.
The expedition team will traverse through pic turesque Assam and pris tine Arunachal Pradesh via Misamari, Dhekiajuli, Orang, Rowta, Udalguri, Hatigarh and Bhairabkun da. The cycling expedi tion is aimed at promoting civilian-army bonhomie and women’s empower ment by way of actual participation.

It was not just a prom ise but an acknowledge ment of the crying need for employment generation in Bihar, the deputy chief minister“Wesaid.cannot think of going back on it since people had showered their blessings in the elections in which the RJD-led alliance polled only about 12,000 votes less, across all 243 assembly seats than the NDA”, he recalled. The RJD heir appar ent also blamed the BJP for the “negative perception” about his party which is often accused of the use of muscle power, resulting in bad law and order. “The problem is we do not know how to do publicity for ourselves. The BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is adept at publicity. But the people will see through their al legations once they get to see the performance of our government”, said Yadav. Agreeing with the con tention of the JD(U) that the BJP was trying to split it despite being an alliance partner, the RJD leader said “Nitish Kumar ji was under so much pressure…..they (BJP) were trying to do in Bihar what they have done in all states. Intimidate or lure with“Whilemoney”.sharing pow er, the BJP did not accom modate even small requests like central status for Patna University which Nitish Kumar ji had urged the PM to confer in public view. Forget about special status, special economic package, and a package for flood-hit areas”, he Askedalleged.aboutBJP lead ers raking up past acrimony between Kumar and his father Lalu Prasad, he shot back “and why did they join hands with the JD(U) in 2017 after so much venom was spewed by them against Nitish Kumar ji?

Claiming that he did not fear “these agen cies” during his first tenure as deputy chief minister, Yadav said he used to fight with the Centre for the interests of Bi har. The RJD leader served as deputy chief minister of Bihar from 2015 to 2017. “Since then I have matured, having served as leader of the opposition and steered the party campaign in last assembly elections when my father was not available”, said the younger son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad.
Afissiparous tendency that is gradually fractional izing society into groups or alliances appears to be gripping Nagaland. When issues are raised by those who believe in the credo ‘my way or the highway’; it hardly leaves any scope for rational and logical diagnosis. In matters that have been on public domain for so many years, be it rise in anti-social acts, disputes or serious allegations of abuse or misuse of power; these are consequences of the ‘authori ties’ having relegated their roles to being puppets of populism, perhaps taking a strong cue from their po litical masters. Bandhs or rallies are becoming all too frequent today and this is not a good sign. It means there is a trust-deficit with the government or confu sion about which of the several parallel authorities is the authorized government. Over the years pressure groups on virtual warpath and the government in in ertia-mode, has severely affected the state economi cally, socially, morally and politically. The damage, through years of depredation will take time to restore order into the chaos. The entire government system has been reduced to serving the ‘larger interests’ of those in power and those who operate beyond the bounds of the law due to laxity and loss of authority of the custodians. Though it would not be totally incor rect to describe it as a ‘failed state’; yet the symptoms are discernible. Whether Nagaland has become or is becoming a failed state may be gauged from notable signs such as - loss of control to exert authority over its territory; rise of monopoly crime bosses or syndicates or parallel authorities and inability to implement deci sions and inability to provide public services. These are grave issues for all who believe that political solu tion is the only problem. Among the pressing problems for a small state like Nagaland with a high literacy ratio and rapid “growth in education” is rise in unemploy ment. Also, the meteoric rise of the Nouveau riche in Nagaland during the past few decades is startling and demolishes the notion of equality and justice. Putting on a show of intent on the Naga issue has provided a license to ride roughshod over probity and indulgence in acts inimical to people’s development. That is why today, various organisations have been compelled to agitate in the streets and offices. Most of the problems relating to governance are contributed by the sense of lack of accountability by politicians in league with bu reaucrats. Broadly, Naga problem is not only about the political problem but various major problems. Solely making rhetorical statements that seem to suggest that the political issue is so sacrosanct that all other problems matter less; exposes a totally shallow frame of mind that is bereft of moral compass. Politicians who have been elected to serve the people as per the Indian constitution have to play their role as catalysts of peace and development through good governance and not solely as ‘facilitator’ for the political issue. After destroying the state through rampant corruption of colossal magnitude, politicians today are conveniently talking about political solution as salvation. Politicians, society’s leaders, thinkers and everybody today need to speak honestly and boldly, so that society can look towards stepping into the realm of progressive devel opment from the dead sea of rhetoric, insane logic and hegemony of political ideology that has possessed people for as many decades.

Back-and-forth: India @ 75
A fter the independence of India, Bihar has witnessed ups and downs of various political parties as well as leaders. In the pre-Mandal era, i.e. before 1990, power politics was domi nated by the Congress Party as a political institution and the upper castes in terms of leadership. In the post-Mandal era, the scenario completely reversed and it is being dominated by two power ful regional socialist background parties RJD and JDU under the leadership of Laloo Prasad and Nitish Kumar respectively, both belonging to backward classes. Before the first general elec tion in 1952, Sri Krishna Singh, a Bhumihar leader, led the provin cial governments in Bihar since 20th July 1937 to 31st October 1939 and 2nd April 1946 to 1952. His leadership continued after 1952 and 1957 Vidhan Sabha elections till his demise on 31st January 1961; although, dissident activities have been unsuccess fully launched by his deputy and Finance Minister Anugrah Narayan Sinha, a Rajput leader. After the demise of Sri Babu, Deep Narayan Singh, a Rajput, served as acting CM since 1st February 1961 to 18th February 1961. Blessed with the central leadership, Binoda Nand Jha, a Brahmin, was elected as leader of Congress Legislature Party and sworn in as the CM on 18th February 1961. In 1962, third general election was fought under the leadership of Pandit Jha and he continued as CM even after the election.Thedissident activities were intensified by Satyendra Narayan Sinha, son of Late Anugrah Na rayan Sinha, and consequently B.N. Jha had to step down under the “Kamraj Yojana” of the Congress Party. Following his resignation, for the first time in the history of Congress, election for the leader of the legislature party was held between two so cial group candidates Birchand Patel, a Kurmi (supporeted by B.N. Jha) and Krishna Balabh Sahay, a Kayasth (supported by S.N. Sinha). Birchand Patel lost due to betrayal of some of his close associates. K.B. Sahay led the government since 2nd October 1963 to 5th March 1967. After a long span of 20-years after independence, about 85% backward & dalit population were bereft of not only in the government services & institu tions, but in every walk of life. Intensive campaign for their awakening as well as reservation in government jobs & institutions was being carried out by Con gress leader Deo Sharan Singh, a Kurmi (Ex-chairman of Bihar Vidhan Parishad) under the ban ner of “Backward Foundation”. In the meantime, experiment of “backwardism” for political control was being done by the socialists like Ram Manohar Lohia and Bhola Prasad Singh with the slogan “Sansopa Ne Bandhi Ganth, Pichhra Pawe Sau Mein Santh”. Under such circumstances, the third general election of 1967 proved to be a “political waterloo”. The Con gress fell short of the majority figure and lost power in several states including Bihar. The first non-Congress gov ernment was sworn in on 5th March 1967 under the leader ship of Mahamaya Pd. Sinha, a Kayasth, of Jan Kranti Dal. The alliance was a mix up of conflicting ideology parties like Jansangh, Samyukt Socialist Party (SSP), Praja Socialist Party (PSP), Communist Party and Kamakhya Narayan Sinha, exKing of Ramgarh. It was very tedious for Mahamaya Babu to keep these opposite ideology parties united for long time and ultimately, the government fell by 13 votes in the Vidhan Sabha on 25th January 1968. Bindeshwari Prasad Mandal (the chairman of Mandal Commission) was an SSP MP and joined in Mahamaya Pd. Ministry, but was not elected as MLA or MLC. to become a member of Vidhan Mandal his 6-month deadline was only 10 days left. On the initiative of Congress, B.P. Mandal, a Yadav, formed “Shoshit Samaj Dal” to become the CM. So, first Satish Pd. Singh, a Koiri, of his Party was sworn in as the CM, whose tenure was for just 5 days (28th Jan 1968 to 1st Feb 1968) and Sri Mandal was nominated to the Vidhan Parishad through a Governor Quota. Mandal formed the government with the support of the Congress. The Congress was not convenient supporting a backward Chief Minister. To topple Mandal Government, a break up in Congress took place and “Loktantrik Congress” under the leadership of Bhola Paswan Shastri, a Dusadh, was formed. Mandal remain in power for just 47 days (1st Jan 1968 to 22nd March 1968). Government of Samyukt Morcha under the lead ership of Shastri took charge, but this Schedule Caste CM also had to resign only after 95 days (22nd March 1968 to 29th June 1968) and for the first time in the history of Bihar, President Rule came into force on 29th June 1968. In the Mid-Term Election of 1969, the Congress got only 118 seats and remained far from the magic figure of 160. On 26th Feb. 1969, the government was formed under the leadership of Sardar Harihar Singh, a Rajput (26th Feb 1969 to 22nd June 1969) of United Forum, but he was also unable to provide stable government. Due to large-scale defection of ministers & legisla tures, the Harihar Singh govern ment was defeated in the Vidhan Sabha by securing only 143 votes againstBhola164. Paswan Shastri took charge for the second time through double-cross of legisla tures from different parties. The Jansangh wanted to keep the Congress out of the government. Congress also did not want the leaders of Jansangh, PSP & SSP to be inducted in the government. The Congress brought a noconfidence motion in the Vidhan Sabha which was passed with the support of Jansangh, and within 9 days Shastri Govt. (22nd June 1969 to 4th July 1969) collapsed. On 6th July 1969 President Rule was imposed, which was revoked on 16th Feb. 1970, when Daroga Prasad Roy, a Yadav, of the Con gress was sworn in as CM. But again the upper caste lobby of the Congress could not accept Mr. Roy for long time. In the opposition, there was internal fight in the SSP between the upper and backward caste lob bies for leadership in which Kar poori Thakur, a Nai, succeeded. Daroga Roy govt. (16nd Feb. 1970 to 22nd Dec. 1970) fell down and Karpoori Thakur became CM on 22nd Dec. 1970 with the support of the Jansangh. He too became a victim of defections and had to resign on 2nd June 1971. A forum of like minded legislatures named “Pragatishil Vidhayak Dal” was formed and its leader Bhola Paswan Shastri took over as CM for the third time. He again fell to kept legislature united and resigned on 27th December 1972; followed by President Rule on 9th Jan. 1972. In a span of just 5 years since 1967 to 1972, the People of Bihar have faced 9 chief ministers. In a bid to eradicate the unstable political scenario, Congress was voted to power in 1972 election with 167 seats. The Congress continued its traditional game and in place of Ram Lakhan Yadav, the leader of the legislature party in the dissolved assembly, Kedar Pandey, a Brahmin, was made the CM (19.3.1972 to 02.07.1973). Pandey Government step down within one year and for the first time in the history of Bihar a Muslim leader Abdul Gafoor (02.07.1973 to 11.04.1975) was made the CM to counter the heavyweights Mishra brothers. Gafoor had to resign following the JP movement. Taking emo tional sympathy of the assassina tion of the then railway minister Lalit Narayan Mishra in a Bomb explotion in Samastipur in 1974, his younger brother Dr. Jagannath Mishra, a Brahmin, become the CM (11.04.1975 to 30.04.1977) and during his tenure emergency was imposed on 25th June 1974. On 30 April 1977, Vidhan Sabha was dissolved and Bihar came under President’s Rule. In general election of June 1977, the Janata Party came to power with a landslide victory in the state. Despite strong op position from State Janata Party President Satyendra Narayan Sinha, Karpoori Thakur was elected the leader of the legisla ture party and took oath as the CM (24.06.1977 to 21.04.1979). Thakur gained name & fame, when he implemented long-await ed Backward Class reservation in State Government services as well as institutions and distribute appointment letters to all unem ployed engineers in the state. Under the patronage of Satyendra Narayan Sinha and even the bless ings of JP, there were aggressive protests against the reservation. Ultimately, Karpoori Thakur had to resign and Ram Sundar Das, a Chamar, took charge of the CM (21.04.1979 to17.02.1980). The key of power was with S.N. Sinha and Dasji had no control over the administration. President’s Rule was imposed on 17th February 1980, and the Vidhan Sabha was dissolved.Congress return to pow er in the Mid-term election in 1980 and Dr. Jagannath Mishra (08.06.1980 to 14.08.1983), became the CM for the second time. Mishra’s worst function ing angered the Congress high command and Chandrashekhar Singh, a Rajput (14.08.1983 to12.03.1985) was made the CM. The general election in 1985 was fought under Singh’s leadership and the Congress returned to power, but surprisingly he was stepped down and State Congress President Bindeshwari Dube, a Brahmin, was blessed as the CM (12.03.1985 to13.02.1988) by the Party high-command. Dubeji has full support of the MLAs, but Congress High Command pres surized him to resign and a new face Bhagawat Jha Azad, a Brah min, (14.02.1988 to 10.03.1989), was made the CM. In the meantime, V.P. Singh started his activities against Bo fors Scam & corruption and lateron Socialists also joined him. To counter V.P. Singh in the coming the Vidhan Sabha elec tion, the Rajput leader Satyendra Narayan Sinha (11.03.1989 to 06.12.1989) was made the CM, his long awaited dream. He tried his best to implement the popular welfare schemes and to sort out unemployment issues. But in V.P. Singh wave, the Congress loose in Lok Sabha election and Satyendra Sinha was stepped down. Dr. Jagannath Mishra (06.12.1989 to 10.13.1990), who had the im age of a corrupt politician in the public, was again made the CM. Dr. Mishra hampered all those popular ongoing works, which were of no personal benefit. Cor ruption has reached the highest level ever since independence. In the 1990 general election of Vidhan Sabha, Janata Dal came to power and the Congress was out forever. (To be concluded) Er. Prabhat Kishore (The author is a technocrat & academician.

This Experience Must Come
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha… saw him no more. —2 Kings 2:11-12 It is not wrong for you to depend on your “Eli jah” for as long as God gives him to you. But remem ber that the time will come when he must leave and will no longer be your guide and your leader, because God does not intend for him to stay. Even the thought of that causes you to say, “I cannot continue without my ‘Elijah.’ ” Yet God says you must continue. Alone at Your “Jordan” (2 Kings 2:14). The Jor dan River represents the type of separation where you have no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one else can take your responsibility from you. You now have to put to the test what you learned when you were with your “Elijah.” You have been to the Jordan over and over again with Elijah, but now you are facing it alone. There is no use in saying that you cannot go— the experience is here, and you must go. If you truly want to know whether or not God is the God your faith believes Him to be, then go through your “Jordan” alone. Alone at Your “Jericho” (2 Kings 2:15). Jericho represents the place where you have seen your “Eli jah” do great things. Yet when you come alone to your “Jericho,” you have a strong reluctance to take the initiative and trust in God, wanting, instead, for someone else to take it for you. But if you remain true to what you learned while with your “Elijah,” you will receive a sign, as Elisha did, that God is with you. Alone at Your “Bethel” (2 Kings 2:23). At your “Bethel” you will find yourself at your wits’ end but at the beginning of God’s wisdom. When you come to your wits’ end and feel inclined to panic— don’t! Stand true to God and He will bring out His truth in a way that will make your life an expression of wor ship. Put into practice what you learned while with your “Elijah”— use his mantle and pray (see 2 Kings 2:13-14). Make a determination to trust in God, and do not even look for Elijah anymore. T hough India as a na tion is still a young democracy has made significant and rapid strides in some fronts, and in oth ers is in the making, but no one knows how long. Therefore, the strides have been back-and-forth like a roller coaster that shows a number of hitches. At the of independence, India was confronted with innumer able problems and as the years gone by there have not been measurable prog ress in the vital areas such as education, social and gender equality, social and economic justice, improve ment in the conditions of living of millions of people. The gap between the haves and have-not continue to widen more and more. India is known for its commitment to nonviolence and tolerance and thus celebrates pluralities of identities. As years and decades passed by, the socio-cultural, social and political terrains of India have changed with cul tural nationalism, politics of populism and social hierarchism. Indian soci ety is increasingly getting polarized wherein venom of hate is spewed and its toxic effect results in hate crimes leading to social disharmony and commu nal conflicts The future of India is in the hands of young millennials and children. For India to grow and to achieve comprehen sive and integrated growth and progress education is the key and foundational. For India to grow and advance, the mental conditions of the children are very important and crucial. Student suicides is on the rise in India. India accounts for 20 per cent of global suicides. Highest number of student suicides in Maharashtra, Trami Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. In Tamil Nadu five student suicides in two weeks. Year 2020 marked highest number of student suicides, which is all time high. About 12, 526 committed suicides in 2020. At an average one student commits suicide every 42 minutes in 2020. It is certainly India’s shame and blot on our country educational system. The future of India is in the hands of the chil dren. Rise of students committing suicides has increased mounting pres sure on those in the depart ments of education, the state governments and the government at the Centre. There is no doubt that the Indian education system has failed the students. This is not the time for blame game or give flimsy excuses or justifications in order to get away, but certainly the policy makers and those responsible in the states as well as at the Centre should introspect, address the problems and plug the growing phenomenon of students committing sui cides. Has India’s system of education let down the children? It is time to destigmatize mental health concerns. It is growing and is a phenomenon.Ontheone hand, more children are com mitting suicides and while on the other more Indians wish to move overseas de spite foreign inflation raises serious concerns about the future of India. In recent times there is huge rush for the Indian minds to study overseas and quite an enormous number of students giving away their Indian citizenship ques tions about the present state of India. India @ 75, should take into account because the present rush to overseas tantamount to brain drain. For a citizen opting to give away his/ her citizenship must have considered from all angles. What is important is that those who prefer to go abroad for studies and those who want to give away their citizenship for other reasons belong to the present.During the winter ses sion of the parliament, the union minister of state for home J Nityanand Rai in a written reply to a ques tion in Lok Sabha said that a total of 1,63, 370 Indian nationals renounced their citizenship in 2021. In 2020, the number had fallen to just 85, 248 from 1,44,217 in 2019, the high est until then. It is unbeliev able that a record 1,63, 370 Indian nationals had decided to renounced their citizenship in 2021 raises serious questions. The data reveals that those who want to renounceIndian citizens are in favor of going to coun tries such as the United States of America with 78, 284, followed by Australia with 23,533, Canada with 21,549, then the United Kingdom with 14,637 and Italy with 5,986. Along with these countries New Zealand (2,643) and Sin gapore (2516) have also been gaining preference for India seeking nationali ties. The minister of state for home did not disclose the reasons for the record number of Indian renounc ing the Indian citizenship in preference to foreign nationality with a passing reference: “for reasons personal to them.” It is bewildering to note that over 3.92 lakh Indians gave up their citi zenship in the last three years. The reasons are di verse that could perhaps be examined, analyzed and evaluated. To start with, it is important to know which age group is keen seek ing citizenship in another country. It is the age-group between 18-24 that by and large prefer to go overseas for education. Along with this it is the middle-age segment which is profes sional and entrepreneurial class wants to quit India for betterDespiteprospectus.the cost of education is so expensive in USA and other coun tries now it has risen to 8 percent more than it was a few months ago and yet many wants to go. When pandemic has started eas ing more rush and the exodus of students of this magnitude and gravity has been unprecedented. Many view that the Indian education system is obso lete and outdated. India lacks quality educational institutions. And those cater only to the elites and upper middle-classes. A question that arises at this juncture is: why should those with professional skills immigrate to other countries? The curricula fail to focus on skill-based courses More importantly better prospects that drive the young millennials to go abroad. In addition, attrac tive pay packages, easier job recruitment abroad. Should this phenomenon be brushed aside or un dermined? This cannot be refuted or negated because it is true.Those with innovative capacity and fabriceconomynaltheinfestedcontinuetheofcomprisetheirzenshipdenouncingties.entrepreneurialwithofall‘makedia.andthereTheyandwouldwithfessionaltheprofessionalssuper-skilledareleavingcountryfortheirprogrowthalongtheirfamilies.Thiseventuallyaugmentescalatebrain-drain.thinkandarguethatisnofutureforthemtheirchildreninInForinnovationandinIndia’,IndiabymeansneedthisclasspeoplewhoareendowedinnovationskillsandcapabiliThosewhohavebeenIndiancitibysurrenderingIndianpassportsdoesofcross-sectionstheIndiansociety.Inyearstocomeitwouldtogrow.Indiaat75isgravelyandinfectedwithpoisonofcommupoliticswhichretardsandthesocialleadingtodisinvest ments and the productivity of businesses. Politics of polarization has led to internal strife and confron tation. Social equilibrium is important for India’s integrity and sovereignty of India. One classic ex ample is, trade deficit is widening. Politicians fuel ing hatred and as a result hate crimes rise the citizens find themselves trapped in such toxic environment which is more worrisome. Falling of exports and escalating price rise of es sential base requisites have leveraged rupee value to go down. The state of Indian economy is in doldrums engulfed with pressing inflation and falling rupees. India is a respectful tolerant democracy. What is India now is it posits less liberal democracy than ten years ago. The ways with which the Indian polity is moving makes one to wonder whether India is moving towards autocratic democracy as more power is concentrated and wielded by one person, as we see major decisions be it social, economic, political, educa tional or whatever are taken by one person without any deliberations, discus sions and consultations. Vibrant democracy believes in consensus, consultations, debates and discourses. The ruling dispensation in a democratic framework should accommodate criti cism and critical voices In dia @ 75 is in difficult times – if our country makes five strides forward ten strides backward.

NEW DELHI, AUG 11 (PTI): Aviation Minister Jy otiraditya Scindia on Thurs day ordered an investiga tion after a video showing bodybuilder Bobby Kataria smoking on a SpiceJet flight surfaced on social media. The video shows Kataria -- who has 6.3 lakh followers on Instagram -- lighting a cigarette on one of the back rows of a SpiceJet plane. Passengers are not al lowed to take lighter in the plane. Passengers are also not allowed to smoke in the plane. SpiceJet said that the smoking incident took place in its Dubai-Delhi flight on January 20 when passengers were boarding the plane and the cabin crew members were busy with completing the on-boarding procedure. After investigation, the airline had put the passenger on “no flying list” for 15 days in February, it mentioned. As per the regulations of aviation regulator DGCA, an airline has the power to ban an “unruly” passenger for a certain period of time if he or she violates any rules. When the video of this incident was posted on Twit ter on Thursday, Scindia responded: “Investigating it. There will be no tolerance towards such hazardous behaviour.” Sources from the Central Industrial Se curity Force (CISF) said on Thursday that the video of this incident came to their knowledge in January this year and they had then writ ten to the concerned airline and subsequently sent a complaint to the police in Gurugram.“Weunderstand the po lice filed a complaint against him there (in Gurugram),” one of the CISF source said. In a statement, SpiceJet said: “This is with reference to a video on social media of a passenger smoking onboard a SpiceJet aircraft. The matter had been investi gated thoroughly in January 2022 when the video was brought to our notice and a complaint had been filed by the airline with the Udyog Vihar Police Station in Gu rugram.”The video, the inves tigation had revealed, was shot on January 20, 2022 while passengers were board ing flight SG 706 scheduled to fly from Dubai to Delhi, it said. “The said passenger and his co-passengers shot the video on the 21st row when the cabin crew were occupied with completing the on-boarding procedure. None of the passengers or crew was aware of the act. The matter came to the air line’s notice on January 24, 2022 through social media posts,” it said.

In the past also, China repeatedly blocked propos als to designate PakistanbasedAfterterrorists.China blocked the proposal to designate Makki as an internation al terrorist, government sources said that the action ran counter to Beijing’s claim of combating ter rorism.Makki is the head of the political affairs of Lash kar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) and Jamat ud-Dawa (JuD), and served as head of LeT’s for eign relations department. The LeT has been in volved in major attacks in India such as the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Red Fort Attack in 2000, Ram pur CRPF Camp attack in January 2008, Khan pora (Baramulla) attack in 2018, Srinagar attack in June 2018 and Gurez/ Bandipora attack in 2018, according to sources in the security establishment.

NEW DELHI, AUG 11 (IANS): The Broadband India Forum (BIF) on Thursday questioned the government’s decision to ask enterprises to submit demand studies in order to assess direct assignment of spectrum for them to set up private captive 5G networks.The government on Wednesday announced to undertake demand studies for the direct assignment of spectrum to enterprises with net worth more than Rs 100 crore which are will ing to set up private captive 5G networks.Enterprises, which are willing to set up Cap tive Non-Public Network (CNPN) by obtaining spec trum directly from DoT, are invited to participate in this exercise, the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) said in a statement. TV Ramachandran, BIF Presi dent, told IANS that they welcome the announce ment by DoT “but sincerely wonder why such a demand study is required at all”. “There are 794 such private networks in the rest of the world and we need to be aligned to that. Pro-rata potential for India could be 150-200 private networks. Moreover, there was no such demand study for the public networks of 4G, 3G or 2G,” Ramach andran argued. The DoT has launched a module on Saralsanchar portal for carrying out the demand studies from enterprises. The order for demand stud ies came after the successful 5G spectrum auction that fetched the government more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore, led by Reliance Jio. The government had issued the ‘Guidelines for Captive Non-Public Net work (CNPN) license’ on June 27, aimed at establish ing the legal framework for CNPNs. The guidelines provide that the enterprises seeking to establish CNPN may obtain spectrum on lease from Telecom Service Providers or directly from DoT.

WSH clarifies on Peren CSOs charges
(From p-1) The hoho said that the present Jalukie was formerly known as “Panti or Halelu” and was renamed as Jalukie only after Nagaland received statehood in 1963, prior to which Mikirs had settled there till up to the 1950s. Therefore, WSH said the question of ancestral land as claimed does not arise at all. Further, WSH termed it as baseless and an un founded allegation that WSH had turned down the September 2020 meeting for peaceful co-existence during a joint meeting held at Tha hekhu Village on February 10, 2021. However, it said few days after the meeting, many “plantations at Khe hoi village were cut down by miscreants from the Peren side.”

Rs 15,620 cr loan: Therie said the state gov ernment has pending loans totalling Rs 15,620 crore for which capital and interests are to be paid but that the state government was trying to hide it. In order to avoid finan cial embargo, Therie alleged that the state government was diverting funds from one head to another but that truth will be exposed. He said despite alleged financial mismanagement, the Finance Commission did not award less funds but as per a State’s requirement. However due to mismanage ment the state was unable to pay salaries to its employees.

Rio dividing Naga land: Therie also accused chief minister Neiphiu Rio of dividing Nagaland along tribal and religious lines and creating factions while all MLAs chose to remain silent.He warned that if this trend was not stopped, then a generation would be lost and Nagaland faces im minent threat of being split into four/five regions such as - Nagaland Frontier State, CNTC State, Tenyimia State or as NNC leader late Phizo coined- autonomous council and “Nagaland”.Inaneffort to raise emotive issue, Therie said his party’s concern over proposed merger of NDPP with BJP in the next poll is because BJP is against Christian faith, ideology

NEW DELHI, AUG 11 (PTI): India will be the fast est growing major economy this year and the next despite headwinds from rising infla tion, widening trade deficit and a declining rupee, a top government source said on Thursday.While the widening trade deficit and depleting forex reserves due to higher import bills had raised alarm bells for the current account deficit (CAD), the source said the situation should stabiliseThesoon.source went on to say that the 7 per cent de cline in rupee value against the US dollar this year was not worrisome, and the government and RBI are confident of managing the situation.“There is no chance of India slipping into recession. We are on steady path of growth. There is no second thought that growth will slow down,... we will still be the fastest growing economy this year and next year,” the sourceWhilesaid. inflation con tinues to be above the com fort zone, the economy has continued on its recovery path, supported by pent-up demand for services and higher industrial output.

The government and RBI are monitoring rupee movement continu ously.

The UN resolution makes no mention of Tai wan’s status, although China regards it as a foundational document proclaiming the Communist Party’s right to control over the island. The Taiwanese coun cil’s statement said China was orchestrating its moves against Taiwan ahead of the ruling Communist Party’s 20th National Congress to be held later this year. President and party leader Xi Jinping is expected to receive a third five-year term at the conclave, after leading a relentless crackdown on political figures accused of corruption, human rights activists and civil society groups.Xi’s suppression of free speech and political opposi tion in Hong Kong was also seen as a factor behind Taiwan’s President Tsai Ingwen winning a second term in 2020. China says it plans to annex Taiwan under the now widely discredited “one country, two systems” format applied in Hong Kong. The concept has been thoroughly rejected in Tai wanese public opinion polls in which respondents have overwhelmingly favoured the status-quo of de-facto independence.TheChinese statement is “full of wishful thinking, and ignores the facts,” the Mainland Affairs Council said in its press release. The “crude and clumsy political operations by the Beijing authorities further highlight its arrogant think ing pattern of attempting to use force to invade and destroy the Taiwan Strait and regional peace,” the release“Thesaid.authorities in Bei jing deceive themselves. We warn the Beijing authorities to immediately stop threat ening Taiwan with force and spreading false informa tion,” it Taiwansaid. placed its mili tary under high alert during the Chinese drills but took no direct countermeasures.

WASHING TON, AUG 11 (PTI): US House Speak er Nancy Pelosi said that Washington cannot allow Beijing to establish a “new normal” in Taiwan with its provocative drills and war plane incursions in the Tai wan Straits, in retaliation to her high-profile visit to the self-ruled island last week. “What we saw with China is that they were trying to establish sort of a new normal. And we just can’t let that happen,” Pelosi told a news conference on Wednesday after her trip to Asia.China on Wednesday announced that it has “suc cessfully completed” its week-long and unprecedent ed military drills that have essentially encircled Tai wan, warning that Beijing will organise regular combat patrols as a new normal to enforce its one-China policy. Initially, the People’s Liberation Army announced the war games in the busy Taiwan Strait from August 4 to 7, the day after Pelosi who is the highest-ranking US leader to have visited Taiwan in 25 years, left Tai pei after high-level meetings. It later kept extending them, keeping the break away island on tenterhooks. The Chinese military exercises involved hundreds of warplanes, dozens of naval ships, including an aircraft carrier group with nuclear submarine in tow, amid assertions by the of ficial media here that such war games in the busy Tai wan Strait will be a new normal.“We didn’t go there to talk about China. We went there to praise Taiwan. And we went there to show our friendship to say, ‘China cannot isolate Taiwan,’” PelosiTheasserted.visit delivered a clear statement that Amer ica’s commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific is unshakeable, Pelosi noted. She said bilateral dis cussions centred around seizing opportunities and addressing shared challeng es, including upholding the democracy in the face of autocracy, fostering robust economic growth, includ ing through the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and in governance, responding to COVID-19 and climate crisis.
The statement follows Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement earlier this week at the Vyapari Udyami Sam melan in New Delhi that ne gotiations for the India-UK FTA are “moving at a faster pace”. He was comparing this to the recently conclud ed trade deal with the UAE, which the minister said was done in “record time”. Last month, The House of Commons In ternational Agreements Committee, in a report en titled ‘UK-India free trade agreement: Scrutiny of the Government’s Negotiating Objectives’, questioned the Diwali deadline set for the conclusion of the negotia tions by Johnson during his visit to India in April.
GAZA CITY (PALES TINE), AUG 11 (AP): The death toll from last week end’s fighting between Israel and Gaza militants has risen to 47, after a man died from wounds sustained during the violence, the Health Ministry in Gaza said on Thursday.Israeli aircraft struck targets in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group fired more than a thousand rock ets over three days of fight ing, the worst cross-border violence since an 11-day war with Hamas last year. According to the Health Ministry, 47 people were killed, among them were 16 children and four women.Israeli strikes appear to have killed some 30 people, among them several mili tants and two senior Islamic Jihad commanders, one of whom Israel said it targeted in order to foil an imminent attack.As many as 16 people might have been killed by rockets misfired by Pales tinian militants. It wasn’t immediately clear how the man whose death was an nounced on Thursday was wounded. A cease-fire took hold on Sunday night, bring ing an end to the fighting, in which no Israelis were killed or seriously wounded.

I would rather lose than win on a false promise: Sunak LONDON, AUG 11 (PTI): Britain’s prime ministerial candidate Rishi Sunak has insisted that he would rather lose the Conservative Party leadership race to replace Boris Johnson than win on a false promise on how he plans to tackle the economic crisis.

The issue has become the key divid ing line between him and his rival, Foreign Secy Liz Truss, who has pledged tax cuts which the ex-finance minister insists will benefit wealthier households rather than those who need it most. “I would rather lose than win on a false prom ise,” Sunak said. “What I’m determined to do is help people across this country through what will be a very difficult winter.

BEIJING, AUG 11 (AP): China on Thursday renewed its threat to attack Taiwan following almost a week of war games near the island. Taiwan has called Beijing’s claims to the self-governing democracy “wishful think ing” and launched its own militaryTaiwan’sexercises.“collusion with external forces to seek independence and provo cation will only acceler ate their own demise and push Taiwan into the abyss of disaster,” Chinese For eign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a daily briefing.“Their pursuit of Tai wan independence will nev er succeed, and any attempt to sell the national interest will be met with a com plete failure,” Wang told reporters. China’s attempt to intimidate the Taiwanese public and advertise its strat egy for blockading and po tentially invading the island was nominally prompted by a visit to Taipei last week by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.The US, Japan and allies have denounced the exercises, with the Group of Seven industrialised na tions issuing a statement at a recent meeting expressing its concern.OnWednesday, Brit ain’s government sum moned Chinese Ambassa dor Zheng Zeguang to the Foreign Office to demand an explanation of “Beijing’s aggressive and wide-ranging escalation against Taiwan”. Taiwan says Beijing used Pelosi’s visit as a pre text to raise the stakes in its feud with Taipei, firing mis siles into the Taiwan Strait and over the island into the Pacific Ocean. China also sent planes and ships across the midline in the strait that has long been a buffer between the sides, which separated amid civil war in 1949.In a lengthy policy statement on Taiwan issued Wednesday, China distorted the historical record, includ ing the United Nations’ 1972 resolution that trans ferred the China seat on the Security Council from Bei jing to Taipei, Taiwan’s Cab inet-level Mainland Affairs Council said. The Chinese statement also discarded a pledge not to send troops or government officials to Taiwan that was contained in previous statements.

SEOUL, AUG 11 (AP): In a striking speech before thousands of North Kore ans, leader Kim Jong Un’s sister said he suffered a fever while guiding the country to victory over the coronavirus. She blamed rival South Korea for the outbreak and vowed “deadly” retaliation. Kim Yo Jong, a pow erful official in charge of inter-Korean relations, glo rified her brother’s leader ship during the outbreak in her speech Wednesday at a national meeting where he jubilantly described the country’s widely disputed success over the virus as an “amazing miracle” in global publicNorthhealth.Korea’s state ments about its outbreak are widely believed to be manipulated to help Kim Jong Un maintain absolute authority. But experts be lieve the victory announce ment signals his intention to move to other priorities and are concerned his sister’s remarks portend a provoca tion, which might include nuclear or missile tests or even border skirmishes. The North’s official Korean Central News Agen cy said Thursday that Kim Jong Un declared victory over COVID-19 and ordered an easing of preventive mea sures just three months after the country first acknowl edged an outbreak. In her first known televised speech, his sister said he suffered a fever and glorified his “epoch-making” leader ship. In a dubious claim, she accused South Korea of spreading COVID-19 to North Korea’s largely unvaccinated populace, say ing the initial infections were caused by “leaflets, banknotes, awful booklets” and other items flown across the border by anti-North Ko rean activists in the South. North Korea first sug gested in July that its CO VID-19 outbreak began in people who had contact with objects carried by bal loons launched from South Korea — a qu estionable claim that appeared to be an attempt to blame its rival. South Korea’s Uni fication Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, expressed strong regret over North Korea’s “extremely disrespectful and threaten ing comments” based on “ridiculous claims.” A senior South Korean presidential office official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in a background briefing, said Seoul is pre paring for various possible North Korean provocations, including a test detonation of a nuclear device. Since North Korea acknowledged its coronavirus outbreak in May, it has reported about 4.8 million “fever cases” in its population of 26 million but only identified a fraction of those as COVID-19. The country, which likely lacks test kits and other public health tools, has claimed the outbreak has been slowing for weeks and that just 74 people have “Sincedied.we began operating the maximum emergency anti-epidemic campaign (in May), daily fever cases that reached hundreds of thousands dur ing the early days of the outbreak were reduced to below 90,000 a month later and continuously decreased, and not a single case of fever suspected to be linked to the evil virus has been reported since July 29,” Kim said in his speech Wednesday during a national meeting at which he announced a revised pandemic response. “For a country that has yet to administer a single vaccine shot, our success in overcoming the spread of the illness in such a short period of time and recover ing safety in public health and making our nation a clean virus-free zone again is an amazing miracle that would be recorded in the world’s history of public health,” KCNA quoted him as saying.ForKim to declare vic tory against the coronavirus suggests he wants to move on to other priorities, such as boosting the country’s broken and heavily sanc tioned economy, which has been further damaged by pandemic border closures, or conducting a nuclear test, said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul.
The committee has called on the government to publish a comprehensive trade policy that provides a framework within which all negotiations can be con ducted.

How many more children should die for you to stop?” If tried and convicted, Ovsyannikova faces up to 10 years in prison under a new law that penalises state ments against the military and that was enacted shortly after Russian troops moved into Ukraine, her lawyer, Dmitry Zakhvatov, said in a Telegram post.

W ill Omicron’s new est BA.2.75,subvariant,bethe next one to worry about? It was first found in early June in India. As of July 17, it had been found in 15 countries, including seven states in the U.S., according to an Arkansas State University professor who has been tracking the variant.The World Health Or ganization says it is watch ing the variant closely. Infectious disease ex perts say there’s no cause for alarm – yet – but the variant should be “Althoughwatched.detected in many other countries [be sides India], there is no sign that it is spreading [in those countries],” says Eric Topol, MD, editor-in-chief of Med scape, WebMD’s sister site for health care professionals, and executive vice president of Scripps Research. “Any worry about this variant seems to be misplaced, at least at this juncture.” “I wouldn’t panic yet,” agrees Rajendram Rajnaray anan, PhD, an assistant dean of research and associate professor at Arkansas State University, who has been tracking BA.2.75. But he is concerned about its spread. Right now, he says, it’s spreading faster than the BA.5 variant in India. He predicts that BA.2.75 will spread more in the United Kingdom next (where it’s already arrived) and then increase in the U.S. “This is exactly the pattern we’ve seen with ev ery other variant,” he says. As of July 17, he had tracked just 14 cases in seven states: California, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Washing ton, and Wisconsin. By September, it could peak in the U.S., he says. “Right now, BA.2.75. seems to be the fastest of them all” in terms of spread. But like other variants, it could fol low the 2-month cycle and begin to decline by October, Rajnarayanan says. In a lab analysis post ed on Twitter, Peking Uni versity professor Yunlong Cao found that BA.2.75 is more likely than BA.2.12.1 (which, before BA. 5, was the dominant variant in the U.S.) to escape detection by the immune system. But laboratory analy sis “is only half the equa tion,” says Peter ChinHong, MD, a professor of medicine and an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. Many other things play into whether a variant will spread. “It’s too early to tell from a virus perspective what will hap pen,” he says of the new variant.As infectious disease experts debate the course of 2.75, some also discuss the naming of variants. The World Health Organization has been using letters of the Greek alphabet to name someButvariants.onJuly 1, Twitter user Xabier Ostale, who’s not an infectious disease professional, apparently tired of waiting for BA.2.75 to get a Greek name and took the task on himself. In a tweet, he dubbed the the next COVID threat?

Sankaranarayanan, repre senting the CoA, contended it would be appropriate if only two representatives as already decided by the CoA would participate in the meeting. The apex court was hearing the CoA’s con tempt petition alleging that the ousted AIFF president Praful Patel has been trying to undermine the conduct of the tournament.Thebench made it clear that it does not appre ciate attempts to involve en tities who have been ousted by it from the AIFF and cause interference in the ad ministration of justice. Justice Chandrachud said, “We are holding our balance but we see what is happening in this matter. Should it come to it, we would assert our authority without exception.” Singh assured the top court that ousted entities would not be participating in the meet ing with FIFA scheduled on August 11. After hear ing the submissions, the bench adjourned the matter. The CoA has moved the top court seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against Patel and representa tives of 7 state associations accusing them of indirectly stalling the court ordered elections to the AIFF. The CoA, in its con tempt petition, said after the apex court on August 3 had recorded the consensus among the various parties to first conduct the elec tions to the AIFF in a time bound fashion and then to finalise the constitution, the state associations have attempted to resile from the same, but indirectly. “The evidence enclosed with this contempt petition would show that Praful Pa tel who had been removed as President of the AIFF has consistently abused his position as Council Mem ber of FIFA to orchestrate a campaign among the State Associations to undermine the various steps taken by this court for the betterment of football, including hav ing footballers involved in governance and administra tion”, added the plea.
