arliament’s power to create a new State is paramount and unfettered, and Articles 3 and 4 of the Constitution are the only provisions that apply to State bifurcation, experts said at a workshop organised by the Department of Communication and Journalism recently. Justice B. Sudershan Reddy, retired Judge, Supreme Court of India, said Parliament’s power to create a new State under Article 3 is not subject to the views of the State legislature. “In India, states are not sovereign but the Union is. Indestructible Union of destructible States is the essence of Constitutional philosophy and the nature of federalism which we have in this country,” he noted. The comments assume significance in the context of the ongoing debate over the legal provisions that apply to the formation of Telangana. Delivering the keynote address on ‘Constitutional and Legal Questions on State Bifurcation’, Justice Reddy observed, “The plea that a resolution in the State legislature must precede the presentation of the Bill is not part of any Constitutional scheme or convention. There are no established conventions except the interplay of Articles 3 and 4 as to how the views of the state legislature are required to be gathered.” Speaking to an audience of students, faculty members and alumni, he explained that the limitations to Article 3 are accepted on only two grounds: lack of legislative competence and violation of fundamental rights. Neither of these would apply in the case of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. Throwing light on the nature of Article 371 (D), he said that it was a transitory and supplemental provision that came into the Constitu-

tion by an amendment, and could not override the original Article 3. He clarified that Article 371 (D) was an enabling provision that allows the State government to divide a State into zones to ensure equitable opportunities in education and employment. He also disagreed with the view that Article 368 requires a State Reorganisation Bill to be passed in Parliament with two-thirds majority. “More than 159 direct amendments were made to the Constitution without following the procedures prescribed under Article 368,” he stated. Prof. K. Nageshwar, Member, Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council, said that political issues and Constitutional principles were getting mixed up in media coverage of the Telangana issue. He said, “Forming a new State is the exclusive domain of Parliament. It is free to do what it wants provided there is the opinion of the State legislature before it. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the principle that the power of Parliament under Article 3 is paramount and unfettered.” On whether a two-thirds majority is required in Parliament, Prof. Nageshwar said, “Article 4 of the Constitution says that if a measure is supplemental, consequential or incidental to Article 3, it doesn’t come under Article 368 which prescribes two-thirds majority.” Citing the Court rulings in the cases of Babulal Parate, Pradeep Choudhary and Mullaiperiyar, he said Article 371(D) cannot have precedence over Article 3 of the Constitution. Later, Mr. Syed Aminul Hasan Jafri, senior journalist and MLC, emphasised that Hyderabad cannot be a common capital of the two regions because there is no ... Continued on Page 4

elangana Rashtra Samithi secretary general K. Keshava Rao has described the media as “organisers of public opinion” and urged it to “stop being cynical, understand the grievances of the masses and articulate them.” Delivering the keynote address at a one-day seminar on the ‘Role of Media in Rebuilding Telangana’, organised by the Department of Communication & Journalism recently, he said the media should help people of Telangana rediscover their moorings. Mr. Rao was of the view that Telangana had lost its cultural moorings and selfconfidence over the last 60 years of integrated Andhra Pradesh. At this cusp of the formation of Telangana state, one needs to unearth the region’s lost glory, he said. Mr. Rao was critical of the media for distorting reality, and said the issues of employees’ relocation and water-sharing in future Telangana were being presented in a provocative

(From left) Prof. K. Nageshwar, Dr. K. Keshava Rao, Prof. S. Mallesh and Prof. P.L. Vishweshwer Rao launch the special issue of ‘Osmania Courier.’ Photo: Taher Hussain manner. He traced such distortion to the “near-total ownership of the state’s media organisations” by people from Seemandhra region. In his remarks, Dr. K. Nageshwar, MLC, underscored the importance of media as “the realm of ideas,” and gave an overview of the potential for development in the future state of Telangana. In the second session, G.S. Varadachari, Ombuds-

man, HMTV, called upon the media to be vigilant and ensure that there is a model government in place with greater transparency. Pasham Yadagiri, Editor, Telangana News Network, exhorted the audience, especially journalism students, to inculcate “critical thought” and wanted them to emulate ordinary people rather than the political class. Prof. Ghanta Chakrapani, former Registrar, Dr.

B.R. Ambedkar Open University, alleged that the media was provoking people by consistently presenting halfbaked information. However, such behaviour would change as time passes by, he felt. He also asked students to formulate and assert their agendas more forcefully. He said the political parties would otherwise go by their own calculations. Continued on Page 4

Campus turns into a ‘global village’

Growing presence of international students on campus marks a new trend

Tumisang Badubi

t is a sight one cannot miss on the campus these days. Along with students from every section of Indian society, international students are a major presence, be it in the classroom, on the lawns or in the canteen. The University Foreign Relations Office (UFRO), the nodal office for international students, confirms the trend. !Mr. C. Venugopal Rao, Director, UFRO, said the number of international students in the university has grown tremendously over the past 14 years. Speaking to!Osmania Courier,!Mr. Rao said, “The University started admitting foreign students in 1999, when 25 students joined. Today, around 4,000 students from 77 countries are studying in Osmania University.” Most of the international students hail from countries in West Asia and Africa, apart from China. Mr. Rao suggests that the students are drawn to the University by its reputation for high-quality education coupled with affordable fees. “The University has managed to attract many international stu-

dents because of its high-quality education at affordable cost and the well-established facilities that make the learning environment comfortable,” he said. Jiang Yujie, who hails from China, seems to agree. Ms. Jiang, who enrolled in the Master of Communication & Journalism (MCJ) course, said she was pleased with the infrastructure in the University, particularly the equipment such as television cameras. Kagiso Moswang, a first-year MBA student from Botswana, said she joined Osmania University because of its reputation. Mr. Rao said the University had opened its first international students’ hostel earlier this year. This was part of the strategy adopted by the University “to ensure that international students don’t struggle with accommodation”.! However, there are also challenges that the university is facing with international students, the most important being the language barrier. While all the courses in the University are in English, many students struggle with the language. Prof. S. Mallesh, Principal, University College of Arts and Social

Sciences, said that they had suggested that foreign students should go through TOEFL or IELTS exams as part of their admission requirements. “We have suggested that foreign students go through TOEFL or IELTS exams. And also, as part of the programmes, foreign students should have a bridge courses designed to help them with the language before they can start their courses.” Most foreign students complain about lack of communication between them and the administration. A just-graduated student from Kenya, Raphael M Jilani, said there is lack of communication between administration and the foreign students and that results in confusion. Ms. Moswang however has a word of praise for the UFRO, saying, “As a new student, I found UFRO extremely helpful. They guided us not just on academic requirements but even on social matters.” The university intends to remove these hurdles and continue with its mission of building a world class campus.

CAMPUS MATTERS Faculty shocked at Professor Upender’s sudden death

OU teachers oppose Hyd as joint capital

ment in Telangana, given its importance in social, educational and material advancement and the need for equity and justice for all regions. It called for monitoring the entire process by a retired chief secretary or a retired High Court judge. The UTFT said that provisions that served to protect the interests of the people of Telangana were diluted in the 1975 Presidential Order which reduced the required period of residence to claim local status from 12 to four years. Also, following the division of the state into six zones, the reservation of jobs was not implemented in proper spirit. For example, in Zone 6 covering Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts, the policy was to fill unreserved posts on merit irrespective of nativity. But it was implemented in a manner that undermined the principle, filling the unreserved posts exclusively with people from Seemandhra.

aculty members from across the University have expressed shock over the “sudden” death of Prof. M. Upender, who had been teaching in the Department of Economics for over 20 years. Prof. Upender, who passed away due to ill health on July 23, has held several high positions in the University. Apart from being the Head of the Department, he was a member of the Executive Council and the Director of the PGRR Centre for Distance Education, among others. “It was a sudden death. We knew he had been ill for some time now, but we expected that he would come back in a few days,” said a colleague of Prof. Upender. Many recall his infectious energy and enthusiasm, his ready smile, his hard work, and above all, his dedication to academics. Prof. Upender was an authority in the field of Econometrics and has published dozens of papers in academic journals, apart from a few books. Less well-known is his sportsmanship – he was a formidable football and hockey player during his younger days, according to his close friends. And in the eyes of many students and colleagues, the scale of his achievements is only enhanced by the fact that he hailed from a disadvantaged section of society.

eachers of Osmania University (OU) have opposed the proposal to make Hyderabad the joint capital of future Telangana state and the residuary Andhra Pradesh. In a report submitted to the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Telangana headed by A.K.

tion, apart from the status of Hyderabad, said the principle should be to secure justice for both the regions. It described the agitation in Seemandhra as one based on unfounded fears and said their concerns could be easily addressed. River water sharing: The UTFT demanded reserving future excess flows in Krishna to Telangana. Compared to the awarded 900 tmcft of Godavari water, the panel said Telangana was entitled to 1,040 tmcft as per the ratio of catchment area. It also asked the Centre to construct a 4000 MW ultra mega power project for Telangana in view of future de-

Evaluating scholarly communication

rof. V. Vishwa Mohan from the Dept. of Library and Information Science has presented a paper on ‘Criteria for Critical Evaluation of Scholarly Communication’ at an international workshop on Library and Information Science Research organised at Mahasarakham University in Thailand. It was presented jointly with Ms. M. Achala of Saifabad Science College. The aim of the workshop was to promote international collaboration among Asian countries in LIS research. Prof. J. Vivekavardhan from the same department also participated in the workshop, presenting a paper on Osmania University research scholars’ perspective of the Internet and Web search engines.

How Koya women sustain their culture

rof. R. Varalakshmi, Head, Dept. of History, presented a paper on

‘Cultural Sustainability of Koya Women in Andhra Pradesh, India’ at the 2013 American Folklore Society Annual Meeting at Rhode Island, USA. The paper is aimed at enhancing the significance of culture and related factors in the processes of local, regional and global sustainable development. The paper, which received the appreciation of folklorists, focused on the factors contributing to the cultural sustainability of Koya tribe, especially Koya women.

Measuring unconscious desires and motives

one-day workshop on ‘Rorschach’ -- an ustructured psychological test to measure unconscious desires and motives -- was held by Psychology department on November 13. Dr. K. Niranjan Reddy, a well-known clinical psychologist, was the resource person. The workshop was conducted to give an overview of the administration of the Rorschach test.

Employment: The panel underscored the need to properly examine the nativity of people in public employ-

Polavaram: The UTFT wanted the Polavaram project to be stopped, citing the problems of rehabilitation, ecological issues, and the huge cost. It said the project, proposed to be made a national project, causes displacement of over 3 lakh people; submergence of reserve forest and adverse impact on the biodiversity and ecosystem.

mand projections for lift irrigation schemes. It said that considering the Bachawat Tribunal award of 811 tmcft of Krishna river waters to Andhra Pradesh, Telangana would get just 36 per cent while the catchment area is 68.5 per cent. The Brijesh Kumar Tribunal, which awarded an additional 190 tmcft of water to Andhra Pradesh, however marked out just nine per cent to Telangana compared to 25 per cent to Seemandhra.

Higher education: The committee wanted the Centre to establish more higher education institutions in Telangana. It said that the educational institutions located in Seemandhra region were being filled up entirely of students from those regions, but the seats in Hyderabad and Rangareddy (i.e., Zone 6) were being taken up in significant numbers again by students from that region, after a nominal four years of schooling in Hyderabad or Rangareddy districts.

ising vehicular traffic, accompanied by noise and smoke, is distroying the serenity in the sprawling 1,500-acre Osmania University campus. The campus has turned into a learning spot for budding drivers. The absence of security vigil and patrolling is encouraging learners to ride through long stretches. The entry of outsiders in the name of walking into the Landscape Garden and plucking of flowers, fruits and leaves by them has become a routine matter. The presence of peacocks and pigeons gives the campus a

With the growing numbers of outsiders, the safety of these birds goes for a toss. With poor lighting on some stretches of the road, girl students are facing tough time during their return to hostels. Incidents of outsiders misbehaving with girls and rash driving by some students are also increasing. The demand to restrict the flow of vehicular traffic is increasing in the student community. “I don’t think any other university in the state or country allows general traffic through their campuses,” said K. Mahesh, a research scholar.

group of students have raised questions over the myth of Narakasura, associated with Deepavali festival, re-christening him as ‘Naraka Shoora’ and re-imagining him as a Dravidian hero. The Dalit Bahujan Cultural Association has organised a meeting in Arts College on the eve of the festival to highlight the positive aspects of doing away with burning effigies of Naraka. Prof. Kancha Ilaiah, who spoke at the meeting, ridiculed the clebration of “Narakashoora’s death” with crackers, which he said threaten the safety of the producers and the users and cause environmental pollution. He described Naraka as a protector of the environment and Dravidian culture.

aju, 22, who hails from Palem village of Mahbubnagar district, is a student of MA (Philosophy) at University College of Arts & Social Sciences. More than the nuances of Philosophy, he is interested in Reasoning, Aptitude, Mental Ability, and English — subjects that are the key to cracking any recruitment test. With a senior’s advice, he made it to Osmania University and heaved a sigh of relief when he got admission in one of the hostels. That is because any kind of private coaching for the recruitment exams would have strained his family’s financial status to a breaking point. Raju’s hope at the campus is the coaching offered by the Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC). “With recruitment tests being held four times a year for banks, I am confident of clearing the exam sooner or later,” says Raju. This is not the case of Raju alone. There are many other

This is clearly visible in the buzz around the Arts College as groups of students head for classes in the evenings, a scene that contrasts with the thin attendance seen in regular classes. Students find many things convenient in EOC classes, including the timings, free of cost coaching, and ease of commut-

ing from other departments and hostels. The coaching covers a host of exams including Civil Services, Banking, Groups, Railways, UGC-NET, etc. Cracking these exams would help any student have a safe and secure career, students say. According to Prof. Vishnu Dev, coordinator, EOC, the programme is an initiative of UGC taken up by OU as a part of em-

ployability training and skill development. Prof. Dev, says, “As of now, we don’t have any funding issues. We are expecting an increase of funds in the 12th five-year plan period.” For students of many other universities in the state, preparing for competitive exams is a major issue. But for OU students, EOC is a golden opportunity that sows the seeds of success.

Remembering Kaloji

Lyricist ‘Andesri’ makes a point at the national seminar marking birth centenary of Kaloji.

he Department of Telugu in collaboration with the Central Sahitya Akademi and the Department of Cultural Affairs, Government of Andhra Pradesh, has organised a symposium and national seminar on legendary Telangana poet Kaloji Narayana Rao over three days during October 9 to 11 at Arts College. Among the prominent speakers were litterateur Dr. N. Gopi, Andhra Jyothi editor K. Srinivas, Sahitya Akademi council member Prof. C. Mrunalini, and Namaste Telangana editor Allam Narayana, apart from a host of noted academics from several universities. More than 70 research papers on Kaloji were presented by research scholars from OU. Troupe from A.P. Praja Natya Mandali made cultural presentations.

Landscape garden is a ‘green’ library Prema T.S.

ibraries in the city are found with huge rooms and a ‘Silence’ board displayed on the door. There are loads of books shelved in rows of racks while the quaint smell and shuffle of paper make for the atmospherics. But here is one which is surrounded by greenery on all sides. It is none other than the Landscape Garden. Located at the heart of the campus, the Garden is a favourite spot for bookworms as well as for partying students. Its unique views include those of the University Library, situated on top of a hillock right in front, while the Tagore Auditorium is straight behind. Any day, one would see students at this ‘green library’ immersed in their books. Many students find it more comfortable in this ‘green library’ than in the college library. For Madhu (M.A. Sociology), the main attraction is that they can have group studies and discussions without any rules on keeping quiet. For others, the garden's soothing atmosphere is some-

biotic stresses, i.e., the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment, act as primary cause of crop yield losses worldwide. These pose a major threat to the sustainable food production as they reduce the potential yields of various crop plants by 50-70%. In such a scenario, where climate changes and global warming play havoc with crop production, K. Venkateswara Rao and V. Dashavantha Reddy at Osmania University, have given wings to the Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan) or Toor Dal, as it is commonly known, by devising a method to produce an abiotic stress-tolerant transgenic variant. The new transgenic is constructed such that it is resistant to multiple forms of abiotic stress such as heat, cold, salinity and drought. Pigeon pea was selected because of its inherent ability to withstand drought stress conditions, because of its deep and profuse rooting system. DNA sequences encoding proteins that are associated with abiotic stress responses in plants were first identified and isolated. They were then expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana to test their efficacy. Later transgenic Pigeon pea plants that had a combination of genes that combated different types of abiotic stress (such as tolerance to drought, osmotic stress, chemical stress, etc) were created with the help of an Agrobacterium and/or E.coli based vector.

Traffic policemen at risk of DNA damage

xposure to vehicular exhaust over a period of time increases oxidative stress(OS) which ultimately results in oxidative DNA damage, it has been found. In a study conducted jointly by researchers from Institute of Genetics and Hospital for Genetic diseases, Osmania University, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology and Bhagvan Mahavir Research Centre and led by Dr. Hema M. Prasad, levels of 8- hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), one of the most sensitive biomarkers for measuring OS and the association between polymorphisms in Cytochrome P450 (CYP) and Glutathione STransferase (GST) genes in 148 non smoking male traffic policemen and 135 control subjects were studied. Oxidative stress is known to produce toxic effects through the production of! peroxides! and! free radicals!that damage all components of the cell, including!proteins,!lipids, and!DNA. OS is also linked to the development of Cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and heart failure in humans, among other disorders. 8-OHdG levels were found to be increased in traffic police with increase in the years of service in traffic control, making them one of the most vulnerable groups, as they are subjected to continuous exposure to vehicular exhaust during traffic control. The results showed gene polymorphisms and a significant increase in urinary 8-OHdG levels in mutated CYP1A1m1 and null GSTM1 genotypes as well. Preventive and therapeutic strategies are recommended for minimizing the adverse effects due to vehicular exposure.

Inadequate number of Tregs or their functional deficiency is linked to infertility, miscarriage and Pre-eclampsia(PE) in women. Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific vascular disorder which shows symptoms of hypertension and proteinuria and affects around 3–8% of pregnancies worldwide. Defective placentation during the early stage of pregnancy in combination with maternal and environmental factors leads to systemic inflammation and other clinical symptoms, which can be life threatening for the foetus. A team of researchers from Osmania University, led by Parveen Jahan, investigated the susceptibility of the mother to PE with respect to a deletion mutation in the exon 2 of the Foxp3 gene. The study showed that the frequency of the C allele of the mutation was higher in patients with PE, thus linked to increasing susceptibility, while the A allele in control patients showed protection to PE.

WIDER HORIZONS Musings on 66 years of Independence

Not quite what we wished for Hima Bindu D.

In a country well-governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of. -- Confucius

ndependent India is 66 years old. On 15th August, every year, the Prime Minister of the country will unfurl the national flag from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort in New Delhi followed by a speech enumerating the achievements of the central government during the year passed by and making lots of promises for the year ahead and people wish each other a very ‘Happy Independence Day’. But are we really happy with what we have achieved? Are we Independent in the true sense? 66 years of Independence, where the pizza reaches its destination faster than the police. 66 years of Independence, and our national festivals are hardly anything but public holidays. 66 years of Independence, and we do not know the difference between any random piece of cloth/paper and the tricolour. 66 years of Independence, and our women dream of being safe. 66 years of Independence, where the ‘Demon’cracy is taking over Democracy. 66 years of Independence and

we’re still developing. Will we see the verb change its tense? It would be fair enough to analyse the outcome of the 66year-long journey of the Independent Democratic Sovereign India considering the above challenges. Our former President and renowned scientist, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam writes in his famous book Ignited Minds: “We have all the resources we need, whether it be people, talent, natural bounty or other assets. India is truly blessed with real, though latent, abundance. Scarcity is not the cause of our problems. Our problems originate in our approach towards them. We are spreading our resources too wide and too thin. With our resources and the money we spend, we could easily accomplish three times what we do, in half the time we normally take, if we were to operate in mission mode with a vision for the nation. The vision generates the best in every field.” Isn’t it an opportune time to ask ourselves and question our ‘insolent might’ as to how long it will take to make India independent in the real sense of the term as India is free but not Independent. Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Be the change you wish to seek!

‘Need for better coverage of foreign policy’ Haritha B. and P. Sandeep Kumar

here is a need to expand the coverage of foreign affairs in both print and electronic media, said Syed Akbaruddin, spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.! Delivering the annual Prof. S. Basheeruddin Memorial Lecture on August 24, he pointed out that the inadequate focus on foreign affairs in the Indian media does not augur well for a country that aspires to the permanent membership of the UN Security Council. “Out of 93,985 registered Indian newspapers, only 300 cover foreign affairs and out of 850 news channels, only five have programmes on the subject. Is this the kind of coverage we deserve as a country?” Mr. Akbaruddin asked. While 192 journalists from 113 countries report from India, Indians get their foreign news from just 25-30 Indian journalists working for eight organisations, according to him. Speaking to an audience of journalism students from Osmania University, English & Foreign Languages University and the University of Hyderabad, apart from members of the Osmania Journalism Alumni Association, Mr. Akbaruddin recounted a few recent in-

izza reaches faster than police! If true, then that itsef is a sign of development. But the thing is pizza doesn’t reach more than 70 per cent of the people. One can say that India is still a developing country, even after 66 years of independence. But is 66 years long enough for a country as big as India to become developed one? Certainly no. Is there any single country comparable to India’s size and which developed faster? The answer is a big ‘no’. I think development is a relative notion rather than an absolute one. How many countries are there in the world which are doing better than India in Human Development Index and other indices, and which got independence around the same time? And, among them, how many are of India’s size and diversity? Yes, we are not developed like America and the UK, but can any country develop to that level in 66 years? It took America around 150 years after its Independence to give voting rights to women and minorities. Let’s leave aside the past 66 years, and look at the present. Can’t we see the change? Intercaste marriages are on the rise, and so are literacy rate, income levels, purchasing power, and food consumption. Now, people are not the

proverbial ‘baavilo kappalu’ (frogs in the well), they are thinking global. Now parents are raising their daughters on par with their sons. Minorities and disadvantaged social groups now have a say in politics. Women are not really safe. As someone said, there is no security in this world, there are only opportunities. Now women are not dreaming of safety. They are putting aside their safety concerns and looking for opportunities. Women are coming out on par with men. Now an ordinary woman has a say in choosing her partner. Women are not the second gender, they are one of the three genders. I think India has started becoming more and more and democratic now. Women occupy 33 per cent of the seats in local bodies (50 per cent in some states) and people are questioning dynastic politics at the national level. Slowly political power is being exercised by communities that were historically powerless. Development is taking the country forward in many positive ways. Now this is the country we have before us. To some, it has not developed to the extent it should have been. We should not let our next generation feel the same. Can we do that? I hope one day pizza will reach each and every corner of this country – a bit slower than police.

stances to illustrate the Indian media’s skewed priorities. “Iraq, with which India has a $21 billion bilateral trade, has recently made an exceptional move, reviving an offer of an oil block to an Indian firm made by its previous government. When the Iraqi minister recently met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi to sign this deal, not a single word was there on it in two of the country’s leading English dailies the next day,” he said.

He said there were no Constitutional provisions to implement the demand that six subjects – Law and Order, Revenue Administration, Urban Administration, Higher Education Administration, Medical Administration and sharing of Hyderabad's revenue with the residual state – be jointly administered by two future states. “If the Telangana government doesn’t have any powers over its own state capital, then how can it function,” he questioned. Mr. Mallepally Laxmaiah, senior journalist and President, Telangana Vidyavantula Vedika, initiated the discussion

‘Andhra state was formed from the then Madras state only under Article 3 of the Constitution’ saying Constitutional principles are often neglected and misrepresentations rule the roost. He said Andhra state was formed from the then Madras state only under Article 3 of the Constitution, but that same principle was now being opposed for political reasons. In his presidential remarks, Mr. Laxmaiah said vested interests were behind the media campaign that forming Telangana State would mean injustice to the rest of the State.

Pointing out the reducing footprint of Doordarshan overseas, Mr. Akbaruddin also called for a global channel from India to project the nation’s voice on the world stage. “We don’t have a voice outside India. And unless you have a voice outside India, foreign policy remains incomplete,” he said. He also praised the role of journalists in the launch of the peace process between India and Pakistan. Mr. Akbaruddin, who is a son of the late Prof. Basheeruddin, recalled his father’s advice that the diplomats should come out of their cocoon and act in keeping with the times. He mentioned that the External Affairs Ministry had started using social media (Twitter) and also launched a mobile app recently as a step towards modernisation. Earlier, in her opening remarks, Prof. Padmaja Shaw from the Department of Communication & Journalism, Osmania University, said Prof. Basheeruddin was a dynamic individual with extreme passion for media education. The annual lecture was organised jointly by the Osmania Journalism Alumni Association, Ad Club Hyderabad and the Department of Communication & Journalism, Osmania University. Syed Akbaruddin was educated at Nizam College and the University of Hyderabad in the city, before joining the IFS in 1985.

‘Media should stop being cynical’ (Continued from Page 1) M.P. Rabindranath, former Bureau Chief, Deccan Chronicle, urged students to have a vision, and recounted the incidents of the 1969 and 1972 agitations. Madabhushi Sridharacharyulu, then Professor of Law, NALSAR, said that there was a disconnect between the media and people’s issues. He cited trend-setting cases of ‘Dasha-Disha’ on HMTV and how it made other channels follow suit in focusing on people's concerns. All the speakers who are alumni of the Department were felicitated. Prof. P.L.Vishweshwar Rao, former HoD, presided.

After the Constitution, RTI touches every citizen Prof. Madabhshi Sridhar Acharyulu needs no introduction, familiar as he is to the public through his numerous newspaper articles on media law, Right to Information Act, internet freedoms, etc. Before moving to his current position as Member, Central Information Commission, Dr. Sridhar was a Professor and Coordinator, Centre for Media Law, National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR). Less well-known is the fact that he studied Master of Communication & Journalism (MCJ) at Osmania University, before moving on to law. Excerpts from an email interview he gave to Hima Bindu Duggirala:

Hearty Congratulations, sir. Could you describe your feelings on being appointed as a Member of the Central Information Commission? It’s really a great feeling. I am getting to know the problems people face with public offices and trying to deal with the officers for them. It is a great opportunity to see a common citizen being empowered with this new enactment called Right to Information Act, 2005. I think this law is one of the milestones in the democracy of independent India. After Constitution of India, this RTI Act touches upon every citizen. If used properly this can act as a tool to change the polity, administrative machinery and value of the democracy also. What is your vision / goal as the CIC? The Central Information Commission is a quasi judicial body to resolve the information-related appeals. The job entails a responsibility of getting the information out of the files of public offices and taking it to the common man. It is a difficult task, given the mindset of the officers and bureaucrats in our country. Every public servant should understand that he would be one day a common man and will stand in the same position where none cares to give any information. He should give and then ready to ask for the information. The CIC has to help the people to get their information properly, and make the public authorities to positively respond to information requests properly. What is your assessment of the implementation of Right to Information Act (RTI) in India? This law is being implemented, surely. The number of Second Appeals the CIC is receiving stands to

prove the vibrant usage of the RTI as a tool. Still, most of the people in general and officers in particular do not have complete understanding of this law, which needs to be developed. The implementation of this law would find its completion when people get the information without anybody asking for it. If there is an office where not a single RTI request is filed because every information that could be sought was made available, that would be real implementation of RTI Act. We cannot measure success or implementation of RTI Act in terms of increased number of RTI application or imposition of penalty on huge number of officers.

Distinguished Alumnus

Are there any loopholes to be plugged? What sort of challenges do you foresee?

not become a law. As of now, the government is not bringing any legislation to regulate it.

Loopholes in the law are very negligible, but loopholes in the machinery that implements it in every public authority are very serious and they need to be plugged by that public authority, as per their needs and requirements. They should give priority to RTI requests and train the PIOs [Public Information Officers] to properly understand the law and their responsibilities. They are routinely rejecting information or saying simply that record not available or that full details of information sought are not provided, or that the record was destroyed, or that the petition was transferred to another authority, or that the information is available with another section officer or subdivision office, etc. These are all improper and misleading replies. They should not give such answers. These kinds of responses would lead to imposition of penalty.

What is your assessment of legal education in India? There is a need to improve legal education. Except for a few law schools, excellence in education of law is not up to the standard because of the apathy of governments and non-filling up of vacancies. From being a jurist to an academician to an administrator, which role do you like the most and why? I am basically an educator, either through writings as a journalist, or as a professor teaching law or as an author of books. Even now I am trying to educate some sections of the people. I used to give information earlier through my writings. Now as information adjudicator, I am making the officers give information. Academics and administrators are both important and one should be both. I like administering with academic perspective, teaching the administrators.

You have done extensive work on child rights. What are the steps you would initiate to strengthen the plight of children? Child rights are more important than the rights of adults. Adults have a duty to protect their children’s rights. Their right to family is the foremost right which the parents would generally deprive them of. A juvenile who escaped from his home and reached juvenile home told me during one of my studies, that parents have to educate the children and they have to be sent to school under any circumstances. Only that and that alone would be solution to the problems of child rights and nothing else. He says he suffered because he was not sent to school, for no reason. Even when children refuse to go to school, the parents must make it compulsory and mandatory to send them to school ‘somehow’. Also, regarding land acquisition. Government acquires land from people and gives to industrialists. Compensation is never on time nor reasonable or complete. The new land acquisition law is better than past legislation which was British legislation. There were instances where land was first taken over, and compensation was paid decades

“International cyber space is going into the hands of a few big countries and their big companies. If that is the case, the freedom of information and expression becomes meaningless.”

Could you brief our readers about your student days in Osmania University?

Prof. Madabhushi Sridhar Acharyulu

Member, Central Information Commission later. The cost paid was too less. Common man was forced to sell his land, which was livelihood for several generations for a pittance and even that was not paid in time. You are internationally associated with Internet governance and regulation. Where do you think India stands and what steps ought to be taken to strengthen our position? India is a leader of third-world countries in technology, but lags behind Japan and China and several other nations. We have laws at least. Some of the countries did not even legislate on these aspects. Internet democracy and independence need to be protected. Ultimately this international cyber space is also going into the hands of a few big countries and their big companies. If that is the case, the freedom of information and expression becomes meaningless. Hence this new space should remain a democratic space where people should have enough facility and freedom to express themselves. Is the law enforcement mecha-

nism aware / equipped to tackle cyber crime / cyber terrorism in India? The law is there but the enforcing officers need to develop awareness of the same. Some effort is going on but it lacks in its sufficiency and efficiency. Cyber crime is increasing because the people are ignorant and not ready to learn or foolishly fall prey to cheats who are technological experts. Cyber terrorism is part of terrorism, hence it has all its problems to be faced. Having authored books and lectured on media law, do you see a need for changes in the legal framework in the context of changing media and emergence of new media? There is no broadcast media regulation with regard to both public and private broadcasting. There is a need for that. While journalists are opposing the undue powers being given to officers to enter into the newsrooms, the managements are opposing cross-media regulations which restrict their shares in media ownership. Thus the 2007 Bill could

Those were great days really, like it is so for every student. I was a magazine editor during graduation. I won several elocution and essaywriting competitions. I learnt to write and speak in those temples of learning and in competitive programmes. I have received gold medals in studies. My classmates and I respected teachers the most, we learnt really from them and from our classmates also. We attended classes hundred per cent; that is missing now. If we do not attend the college, we cannot learn either from teachers or from co-students. Then why join the college? Attending all the classes and listening to all lecturers is the open secret of success of every student. How do you spend your leisure time? Writing and reading. Listening to good music programmes. Spending time with wife and children, which they complain I do not do because I rarely have any thing called leisure. How do you balance personal and professional life? I have to say I am still learning it. I think one should not ignore family. If we build our family and children properly, half of the nation building is done.

Fun-filled adventure

Daily serials are taking viewers to the ‘Shikharam’ (peak) of madness, writes Hima Bindu D.

G. Omprakash Reddy

ood movies are not only about good stories but also about good narrations. This one, with a simple story, is narrated well. The protagonist Mika (10), a mathematics genius, suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. This means he finds it difficult to communicate and interact with others and is often anxious and confused. One night, he finds a horse on the balcony of the opposite apartment. Mika and his friend Dana love the horse, and want to take it. But the horse has to be sold by its owner because of his financial problems. If not for that, it still has to be left because the apartment owners are not happy with a horse in the building. In the meantime, the horse gets stolen. How the adventurous Mika solves the mystery with his exceptional abilities and love for the horse and how he is able to overcome the Asperger’s is the rest of the story. Asperger’s syndrome of the boy leads to humour and fun

A 21st century look at the Mahabharata G. Omprakash Reddy

fter writing a lot about Indian political economy in India Unbound and other books, Gurcharan Das — now a full-time writer after leading Procter & Gamble at different levels — turns to Mahabharata in search of solutions to the problems faced by India and the world. Das feels that dharma is the solution and tries to analyse its subtlelty through the prism of Mahabharata (Why Mahabharata? ‘Because it is obsessed with dharma.’) According to Das, prosperity has spread across India, but goodness has not. Can the Mahabharata teach us the right way to live in the world? If, from dharma flow wealth and pleasure, then why is it not pursued? Das starts with these questions. He selects eight characters from the epic and analyses their moral dilemmas and the difficulties faced by them in following dharma. According to Das, pursuing dharma is difficult for different reasons. In the case of Duryodhana, it is his envy of Yudhishtira. It is selflessness which forces Bhishma towards adharma, while for Arjuna, it is the subtlety of dharma. According to (whom?) subltlety of dharma forces one

The Difficulty of Being Good, by Gurcharan Das. Penguin (2012). 488 pages (Available in OU Library) to follow adharma even against ones wishes. In the process, Das takes the discussuion to contemporary issues like reservations for OBCs, capitalism vs. socialism, tolerant pluralism vs. intolerent right, and so on. What makes the book interesting is the comparison of Mahabharata with greek mythologies and concepts like ‘prisoner's dilemma.’ In the end, he asks what is it that the epic teaches us: is it non-violence or violence? Das feels it is compassion (‘anrishamsya’ meaning one should

never do to another what one regards as injurious to oneself) that is the highest dharma. Can compassion solve the problems? Though the idea looks good on the face of it, there is a problem of misunderstanding and misinterpreting it. Imagine a person goes to a government official and asks for a favour which is illegal, and offers money. If the officer thinks along the above lines -- if I were in his situation, I would feel bad if my work is not done, and so, I will help him and take the money --- compassion in effect leads to corruption or adharma. Das also feels that the Mahabharata teaches us to be pragmatic. To many, being pragmatic means not to follow dharma every time and to be selfish. Again it is back to square one. Das’ capitalist ideology flows as an undercurrent throughout the book, with contemporay examples. Nine chapters on eight characters on subtlety of dharma could simply be called navaratnas along with two other chapters. The Difficulty of Being Good is an excellent analytical and a scholarly work. But can the solution it offers force one to follow dharma is the big question.

throghout the film, while creating awareness. Child actors did exceptionaly well (maybe better than the adults) and will take you down memory lane to your own childhood. Innocent faces with brilliant acting skills give you a different experience altogether. One would admire Mika for his honesty and his philosophy. His statements that some times telling the truth is like lying confuses you on two grounds. One is while ascertaining its meaning, and another with the question that can a boy of ten speak like that? The film, shown as the best film at Hyderabad International Children’s Film Festival 2013, is not necessarily for children and entertains everyone alike. I don’t know whether I can say that it is a must watch or not. But if you see it, you will love it.

On the wings of freedom

hild “marriage” has not yet ended in our society. Children are forced to “marry” their school books, IIT coaching institutions and not-their-field-of-interest courses. And the outcome? Many end up being “divorced” except for some multi-taskers who also struggle to maintain “extramarital” affairs! Today, we have many such students around us, who have fallen to ‘'this-coursehas-great-scope’ dialogue. Parents and the society, having shut the gates of their dreams, open doors to a world they never belonged to — a world where one would more likely hear only exams, marks and ranks

and not the silent echoes of students wailing. What will a person aspiring to become a soccer player do with trigonometry? Has he got to measure the tangent by which he could make a goal? And a girl wishing to see herself as a fashion designer do with machines and mechanics? Would she make a new innovation by cutting across an outfit using nuts and bolts? It's high time that we know that neither a boy is synonymous with an engineer nor is a girl with a doctor. It's surprising to see how people confine their kids to the four-walled classrooms but expect them to think outside the box. It’s not that prodigies are a rare find. We do have Sachins but proba-

bly hidden under a big fat Math textbook and Newtons too, supposedly waiting for an apple to fall where there's a tamarind tree! There's a voice inside you that whispers all day long. I feel that this is right for me and I know that this is wrong. No teacher, preacher, parent, friend or even god can decide what's right for you — just listen to the voice that speaks inside, said some wise man. If you listen to anybody apart from your inner voice then you just deserve it, says me. Live your passions, chase your dreams, flap your wings of freedom and fly high. Get to the pinnacles of success, follow your heart — it alone knows the way home! Cheers!
