BRICS 2014: ModiIcalls for urgent reforms IANS, FORTALEZA (BRAZIL)/ NEW DELHI

ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 15 called for “urgent reform” of institutions such as the UN Security Council and International Monetary Fund (IMF) while stressing the international community should have zero tolerance towards terrorism. In his statement in the BRICS summit on the agenda “Political Coordination: International Governance and Regional Crises”, Modi noted it was taking place at a time when the world was facing a high level of turmoil and uncertainty and “remaining mute spectators” to countries in peril could have “grave consequences”. Modi, who addressed his first international meeting as prime minister, said collective pressure should be exerted on states to deny sanctuaries and support to terrorists even as he noted that terrorism had not been combated effectively due to “different yardsticks”. The sixth meeting of BRICS Brazil, Russia, India, China and

FORTALEZA: India is keen to further deepen and broad-base its strategic partnership with Russia, including in defense, nuclear energy, trade and investment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin in Brazil. Modi, who met Putin on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit at Fortaleza on July 15, expressed appreciation for Russia’s friendship and unstinting bilateral and international support for India’s economic development and security since the early days of India’s Independence, a press statement said. Modi reaffirmed that relations with Russia will continue to enjoy the priority that they always had in India’s foreign policy.

ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 15 met Chinese President Xi Jinping and called for a solution to the “boundary question” as the two countries sought to expand their economic relations and rectify the trade imbalance. In his first meeting with Xi since becoming prime minister, Modi called for enhanced Chinese investment in India’s infrastructure as the two leaders engaged in a freewheeling discussion and focused on building personal rapport in the discussion that went beyond the scheduled time. China invited Modi to the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in November, the first time India has been invited for the meet.

Vaidik-Hafiz meet stirs row

Ramdev aide claims he met Hafiz Saeed — mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack — as a journalist; government distances itself from Vaidik, seeks report from the Indian High Commission IANS, NEW DELHI

Who is Ved Pratap Vaidik?

acing opposition heat, a cornered government on July 15 denounced yoga guru Ramdev aide Ved Pratap Vaidik’s meeting with Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed and sought a report from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The government’s disapproval of the meeting with a man wanted in India came as an unrelenting opposition took on the Narendra Modi government in both Houses of Parliament, leading to repeated disruptions. For the second consecutive day, Vaidik claimed he met Saeed — the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack and one of three terrorists India freed in 1999 after an Indian Airlines planed was hijacked — as a journalist.

NEW DELHI: Ved Pratap Vaidik is a journalist, scholar, political analyst and freelance columnist. He had been with Press Trust of India as the founder-editor of its Hindi news agency Bhasha. Born: December 30, 1944 (age 69), Indore Education: Jawaharlal Nehru University

Political advisor to Baba Ramdev and closely associated with RSS-linked think-tank Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF) Claims he met Hafeez Saeed — the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack and one of three terrorists India freed in 1999 after an Indian Airlines planed was hijacked — as a journalist in 1999.

Both on July 14 and July 15 afternoon, the government only distanced itself from the controversial meeting saying it had nothing to do with it. It came out with a strong condemnation on July 15 evening. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the Rajya Sabha: “The government totally disapproves of

this meeting of Ved Pratap Vaidik... The government condemns this meeting with the Mumbai terror attack accused.” She said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government had nothing to do with the meeting and had “nothing to hide”. “We have sought a full report from the Indian high com-

missioner in Pakistan. Once the report comes, we will share it with the House.” Despite their majority, Bharatiya Janata Party members and their allies were mostly quiet in the Lok Sabha as the Opposition MPs shouted slogans. The Opposition was more vocal in the Rajya Sabha.

Earlier, Sushma Swaraj and her cabinet colleagues tried to distance the government from the fallout of the Vaidik-Saeed meet. “Categorically and unequivocally, I would like to state that the government has nothing to do with Vaidik’s trip to Pakistan or his meeting with Hafiz Saeed there,” she said.

Ashok Khemka is likely to get central deputation IANS, CHANDIGARH/NEW DELHI

shok Khemka, an IAS officer of the Haryana cadre who had cancelled the mutation of a land deal involving Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, may be deputed to the union government in two-three weeks, a central official said on July 15. However, the Haryana govern-

ment maintained that it has not received any communication in this regard. “It seems that Khemka would come on central deputation in two-three weeks,” an official of the Department of Personnel and Training told IANS in New Delhi. Sources in Chandigarh also said Khemka has been cleared to be a joint secretary in the central government, but the Haryana government refused to comment on the issue. “We have not received any communication in this regard so far. We cannot comment on this,” a senior bureaucrat told IANS in Chandigarh. Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was also dismissive about the issue. “This is an administrative matter,” he told the media in Chandigarh on July 15.

Clinton serves food to children in Jaipur IANS, JAIPUR

ormer U.S. president Bill Clinton on July 16 visited a kitchen here run by an NGO to oversee a lunch programme that feeds over one million school children daily across India under the mid-day meal scheme. The kitchen here is northern India’s largest run by Akshaya Patra Foundation. It feeds almost 150,000 people in Jaipur, including 125,000 school children studying in 1,100 government schools in Jaipur

district daily under the scheme. This was Clinton’s third visit to Jaipur. “Clinton visited the areas where rotis and curry were being cooked and the places where pulses were cleaned and stored. He also saw the rice cleaning machine and was really impressed by it,” said Madhu Pandit Dasa, chairman of the Akshaya Patra Foundation. He said Clinton was impressed by the roti-making machines and was surprised that how food reaches on time in all the schools where mid-

day meals are served. Akshaya Patra Foundation’s kitchen in Jagatpura on the outskirts of Jaipur is fully mechanised and even rotis are cooked in two machines. Each of the machines is capable of producing 40,000 rotis in an hour. “We have 450 people, including dieticians, who prepare the menu for a month in advance. Based on requirements, vegetables, dal (lintels) and other things are purchased,” R. Govinda Dasa, Jaipur unit president of the foundation, told IANS.

The JJB found the two minor guilty of gang rape, criminal conspiracy, molestation and other sections of the Indian Penal Code. While one of the accused juvenile was nabbed for gang rape of a woman photojournalist, the other was arrested for a similar crime against the 19-year-old call center employee. In April, the Sessions Court in Mumbai had awarded death sentences to three convicts involved in both the gang rapes while two of their associates were give life sentences.

India tops global poor list: UN NEW DELHI: India tops the list of countries with the largest share of global extreme poor though the poverty rate in southeast Asia as whole saw a substantial fall from 1990 to 2010, a new United Nations report said.

Is Modi sidestepping RSS? Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s close aide Amit Shah’s elevation to the post of BJP President shows that RSS had little or no say in his appointment AMULYA GANGULI, NEW DELHI

hen L.K. Advani was dragged kicking and screaming from the post of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president in 2005 under orders from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a diplomatic cable from the US embassy in Delhi to Washington stated that the event “demonstrated the power of the RSS — and will likely increase the party’s (the BJP’s) political decline”. According to Wikileaks, the cable also noted that Advani was “shocked” by the failure of the “second tier” of the BJP leadership comprising, among others Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj, to come to his aid. While leaving the president’s post, Advani called for changing the “impression that has gained ground that no political or organizational decision can be taken (by the BJP) without the consent of the RSS functionaries”. Nearly a decade later, Narendra Modi can be said to have changed the impression by making the party choose its own man, Amit Shah, for the president’s post without the concurrence of the RSS. After choosing Rajnath Singh to replace Advani, they asked Nitin Gadkari to take Rajnath Singh’s

place in 2009. But four years later, the RSS had to appoint Rajnath Singh again as president in view of the allegations of sleaze against Gadkari. Now, it is clear that the RSS had little or no say in Shah’s appointment. To stretch a point, it can also be said that neither did the BJP, notwithstanding the party’s formal association with the selection, since it has

been clear ever since Shah was credited with party’s excellent showing in Uttar Pradesh in the parliamentary elections that he will be anointed for the post with Modi’s blessings. As Shah is known to be the prime minister’s ‘Man’ because of the long association between the two through the thick and thin of Gujarat’s turbulent politics, the belief had gained ground that

with Modi’s penchant for running a one-man show, whether in Gujarat earlier and now at the national level, what is of interest is how the RSS will react to its marginalization by a former ‘pracharak’ (preacher), who has now risen beyond all expectations not only to be the lord and master of the BJP.

Modi would trust no one but him in the key position of party chief. It isn’t only the political and organizational closeness of the two which is behind Shah’s elevation.

Bihari Vajpayee and Advani, who also chafed at the control exercised by the RSS; but since they did not enjoy Modi’s general popularity, they had to abide by its dictates most of the time. The result was that the RSS openly called for their removal as in 2005 when the then RSS chief, K.S. Sudarshan, said that both Vajpayee and Advani should make way for “new leaders”. The RSS’s grouse against them was mainly about their moderate outlook, especially Vajpayee’s, which had become evident during the BJP’s stint in power at the centre between 1998 and 2004.

Professor Prasant Mohapatra has served as interim vice provost and CIO in the meantime. Murali is set to start her new job on Aug 18. “I am excited to be joining a university with such a wonderful reputation, to lead the IT enterprise that contributes to the university’s excellence, in everything from student success to research. “I intend to develop a shared vision with the faculty, staff and students, and we will move the institution to even greater heights,” she said.

One of the projects that will be taken up this year in India will be dealing with trauma, mainly brain damage, in road accidents, she said.

“We want more of a digital AAPI — newsletters, Twitter, Facebook. With AAPI getting more into social networking, academics also want to get involved with it,” she said. “It should not be a regional ethnic type of organization. It should be coming up towards the mainstream. That’s my goal,” she said. Her second goal is to make sure that academicians come. “We want to have medical scientific seminars and lifetime achievements to be recognized to attract

academicians.” “When AAPI was first formed (in 1982) it was based on immigrant physicians trained in India facing a lot of challenges of discrimination in hospitals. As we have evolved with our kids in medical colleges, we have infiltrated the American system of medicine.” “Our goal and mission are slowly changing from discrimination to becoming part of mainstream organized medicine so that it’s not only better for our kids, but for Indians and for the community as a whole,” Samadder said.

CSIR scientists accused of data fabrication BANGALORE: It is rarely that work of Indian scientists grab worldwide attention. But last week, a group of scientists from a research institute in Chandigarh entered the international spotlight —

although for wrong reasons. Between January and May 2013, the group from the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) had published three research papers in PLOS ONE, a reputed science journal having its headquarters in San Francisco. In what has come as an embarrassment to the Indian science community, the journal announced on July 9 that it was retracting all the three papers of the IMTECH group “as the published results were fabricated”.

Swaranjit Singh, senior principal scientist at IMTECH and key author of all the discredited papers, did not reply to email request for his comments on the wholesale retraction of his group’s all three papers — a record of some sort. IMTECH is a flagship institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) globally known for the development of India’s first patented biopharmaceutical drug to dissolve blood clots. Group’s director Girish Sahni said an internal investigation showed the data falsification was the handiwork of a junior author who has since resigned. — IANS

Institutions like the UN Security Council and IMF need urgent reform. They must become more representative and reflect ground realities,” he said. Modi noted the region stretching from Afghanistan to Africa was experiencing turbulence and conflict, and causing grave instability that is fast seeping across borders. “This impacts us all. Remaining mute spectators to countries being torn up in this manner can have grave consequences,” he said. Noting Afghanistan was facing an uncertain future and its people have suffered for decades, Modi said the world must unite to help them build a peaceful, stable, democratic and prosperous country. “We must help Afghanistan fight the forces of terrorism. This is important for it to preserve the progress it has made in the last decade,” he said.

Rousing welcome by Indians awaits Modi in NY

N 28.

By hi INDiA TEAM

EW YORK -- A grand reception awaits Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi when the 64-year-old former Gujarat Chief Minister arrives in New York on September

In what was the first meeting of its kind, about 250 members of the Indian-American community from all walks of life gathered at the TV Asia auditorium on July 12 to discuss a plan of action to accord a warm welcome to Modi. The meeting was not organized by any particular organization but by a group of well-wishers who called themselves ‘volunteers’ with guidance being offered by Dr Bharat Barai, a community leader and philanthropist who is also an Indiana-based oncologist of repute. Dyaneshwar Mulay, Consul-General (CG) in New York, said that the reception would be a community

event with no government patronage, adding that his office would play only a supporting role. He advised everyone to work unitedly to make the welcome function a grand success. It is learnt that besides a reception committee, various other all-inclusive panels will be formed to chalk out a grandiose plan for a memorable welcome to the popular leader who led the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a landslide victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections. The panels will comprise community leaders from all states of the US and people from various prominent Indian and ethnic organizations who are believed to have been searching for a venue that can accommodate at least 100,000 people. The 60,000-capacity Yankee Stadium in New York and the 80,000-seat Giants Stadium in New Jersey are already booked for the last week of September for other programs. However, though the meeting at the TV Asia

auditorium ended on a quiet note, everything was not hunky-dory during the lively proceedings with some of the members raising a hue and cry over little or no representation to New York and New Jersey in the panels. Others also expressed the apprehension that Dr Barai, former head of the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) Chicago, would ‘hijack the event’ and ‘take credit’ for the success of the Modi reception. However, CG Mulay soon joined the discussion and pacified all groups, asking everyone to bury the hatchet and appealed to them to stand shoulder to shoulder to see that the rare occasion passed off without any controversy. (In an email to Hi India, Dr Barai gives his version of the meeting. See report alongside) Modi, who was sworn in as the Prime Minister on May 26, is arriving in the US in September-end to attend the annual General Assembly session in New York and a White House meeting with US President Barack Obama.

Barai douses fire as Indians Brazil key global partner differ over PM reception of India: Modi

bout 250 members of the Indian-American community representing various Indian-American associations in New York and New Jersey area had gathered on July 12 at the TV Asia Auditorium in New York (see report on this page) to discuss plans for according a rousing reception to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he visits New

York in September. Some of those who attended the first-of-its-kind deliberations are believed to have created a ruckus at the meeting in organizing which Dr Bharat Barai, a prominent oncologist from Indiana and a former head of the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) Chicago, played a key role. Dr Barai, in an email to Hi India, sets the record straight to end the needles controversy. The following is his version of what transpired at the meeting: “We had arranged a meeting, inviting 2 representatives of each Indian American associations in NY-NJ area on July 12, 2014 at the TV Asia Auditorium. The meeting was attended by about 260 people. Some uninvited elements also attended. “At the beginning, it appeared that a small group of 9 people tried to question the meeting and the ‘Authority’ of the people holding the meeting. Mr Ankur Vaidya, president of a group called FIA spoke. He was explained the process and a document from the embassy for the Madison Square Garden was read. “The rest of the 250 people were not happy at such distraction and tried to shout him out. We handled the situation coolly and calmly in a professional manner. We invited Mr Vaidya to come to the podium and give his views briefly. Rest of the people booed and shouted at him down. I requested the guests to respect his right to give his views. “He spoke calmly, gave some points and then he and 8 others left the auditorium calmly. Several speakers spoke and

stressed the importance of working in a united fashion to present the best show in support of PM Modi, India and the Indian American Community. We all emphasized that we were all working as volunteers for this cause. The attendees were very supportive. “Then Mr Shalli Kumar from Chicago (who was not invited) came and stated that he had met the Consul General of New York 2 days ago and the CG had called him, advising that this meeting should be adjourned and the CG had told him that he will appoint a new committee for this event. “That threw every one in confusion. He further stated that there was no need for fund-raising and he will give $1 million. Several members protested that one man was trying to buy out the program. Some members shouted at him that in the past, he had made many such donation promises, but never donated a penny. “Some members present, texted to CG about the use of his name and “attempt by CG to impose his committee”, as announced by Shalli Kumar. CG called me and clarified that he had not stated any such thing. He confirmed that by sending the text message to that effect. He personally came there and clarified the situation appropriately. His role was very constructive. “Mr Shalli Kumar’s role in using name of many dignitaries of India and Republican officials is well known and referenced on Google. The members present were requested to put their names for the committees that they would like to serve. The meeting ended on a very good note and work will proceed as planned. “I must emphasize that out of 260 association representatives, only 9 (7 of them uninvited) tried to create distraction and falsify-dramatize in name of the CG of NY. The rest of the people were very decent and supportive. “We have already filed application with Madison Square Garden and hope to sign the contract ASAP. The rest of the work is proceeding as usual.” Bharat Barai MD

New Delhi, July 16 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday described Brazil as India’s “key global partner”, and reaffirmed to President Dilma Rousseff the “vast potential” for bilateral cooperation, a PMO statement said. Modi was earlier received with full military honours at the presidential palace in the Brazilian capital Brasilia.

The bruised soul in ‘Haider’: Shahid NEW DELHI: The much-awaited trailer of Vishal Bardwaj’s latest rendition of Shakespeare (Hamlet), Haider is out. This is Bhardwaj’s third Bollywood version of a Shakespeare play after Omkara and Maqbool had screenplays adapted from Othello and Macbeth. Haider features veteran actors Tabu, Irrfan Khan, Kay Kay Menon, along with the lead pair Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor, who plays the lead role, is intense, evil and passionate — everything you need for a Shakespearean tragedy. While there’s little

about Shraddha in the trailer, Tabu marks her presence even in the few small appearances she makes. Kay Kay Menon is impressive as the evil uncle. Two scenes in the trailer especially stand out: first a face-off between Shahid and Tabu, and the other a scene between Shahid and Shraddha. In the face-off scene, Shahid tells Tabu “Maa jab jhooth bole naa, nahi acchi lagti”. The pain and angst in Shahid’s expression are heartwrenching and Tabu too has pulled off the expression of loss very dramatically.

Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, two of Bollywood’s most talented contemporary actors, don’t really try to fill

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s shoes. They have better things to do. He, Humpty (yes, that’s what our hero is called) can’t keep it in his pants...his money, that is! He spends it buying a lehenga for the wedding of the girl of his dreams. And the girl Kavya uses the money

to buy him a car of his dreams. When we first meet Humpty, he emerges from a loo behind a sheepish-looking girl. In her introduction scene, Kavya (Alia) is shown trying to bully her father into buying her a Manish Malhotra lehenga for her wedding to the ‘perfect’

NRI. The ‘perfect’ NRI is played by television actor Siddharth Shukla, so exceptionally wooden, that he seems to be carved out of a tree. No one in HSKD seems to feel any real emotions. Clearly, the debutant director is here doing a revisionist version of DDLJ, much in the same way that Sanjay Leela Bhansali did with Romeo and Juliet in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.. The creator of the revisionist version of the ‘classic’ lacks the vision to take the original characters to another level from where they originally stood. At mid-point when the girl jumps in bed with the stranger who buys her the lehenga from her dreams, you know once and for all that this pair is beyond repair. Simran would have never done that.

EW YORK -- Seniors in Greater New York celebrated July 4 (US Independence Day) at Sunnyside community Hall, 41-20 Sunnyside NY 11104 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. The event was organized by Shashikant Patel / Gopi Udeshi. After the flag hoisting, national anthem and patriotic songs were

NJ Transit plans more spacious light rail cars BY A STAFF WRITER

EW JERSEY -- NJ Transit unveiled a prototype of an expanded light rail vehicle on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail that offers 50 per cent more seating capacity than a standard one, at the Hoboken Terminal on July 3. One year after NJ Transit unveiled a Hudson-Bergen Light Rail train car that included two additional sections for seating, the NJ Transit Board of Directors approved adding 35 of the expanded light rail vehicles to the agency’s fleet. The innovative, expanded vehicles— which offer 50 per cent more seating capacity than standard light rail vehicles— will be placed into the revenue service starting in late 2015. “We’ve heard from customers through surveys conducted as part of NJ Transit’s Scorecard initiative that crowding on trains—particularly on the HudsonBergen Light Rail system—is one of their top concerns,” said NJ Transit Executive Director Veronique “Ronnie” Hakim. “Thanks to a successful public-private partnership, we will be able to offer 50 per cent more seating capacity on our busiest trains at a fraction of the cost, enhancing

the overall customer experience on both the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and Newark Light Rail systems.” The board authorized an additional $54 million under NJ Transit’s contract with Twenty-First Century Rail Corp., of Jersey City, to extend 25 Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and 10 Newark Light Rail vehicles, including spare parts. Since the launch of Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in 2000, ridership on the line has grown steadily. In the past eight years alone, passenger trips have doubled to more than 45,000 a day, according to NJ Transit. In order to address the need for increased capacity, the agency partnered with Kinkisharyo International, LLC, the original vehicle manufacturer of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail’s existing fleet, and Twenty-First Century Rail Corp. to

find an innovative, cost-effective solution that would not significantly impact the system’s infrastructure or require a costly investment in new rail cars. Kinkisharyo developed a design for the expanded vehicles, which increase the number of sections from three to five. The additional sections increase the car length by 37 feet and expand seating capacity from 68 to 102 seats, as well as provide additional standing room. Development of the five-section prototype drew upon existing resources and spare Hudson-Bergen Light Rail equipment, resulting in no additional cost to New Jersey taxpayers. Retrofitting existing vehicles in the fleet with the vehicle extender represents a significant cost savings over the purchase of entirely new standard light rail vehicles. At approximately $1.55 million a car, the cost for converting vehicles is about one-third the cost of purchasing new vehicles at about $4.6 million each. More than 80 per cent of the project costs are federally funded under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program jointly administered by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.

NJ Transit driver caught reading while at wheel BY A STAFF WRITER

AYNE (NJ) — A New Jersey Transit bus driver is being investigated after a rider caught him reading for 10 minutes while in stop-and-go traffic. The commuter took photos of the driver last week while the bus was traveling along Interstate 80 in Wayne. The driver read what appeared to be

a vacation pamphlet. Then he placed a hardcover book on the steering wheel and had his eyes on that at times. The 324 bus, which travels between the Wayne Park & Ride and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, had about 40 passengers on board. NJ Transit has said that it will take “swift and appropriate” action when it completes its investigation

Air India plane returns to Newark after engine catches fire

BY A STAFF WRITER

EWARK (NJ) -- A flight headed for India was forced to return to Newark Liberty International Airport on July 14 afternoon due to an engine fire, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said. The agency previously reported that the fire was caused by a bird strike, but later said that was not the case, and that the cause remains under investigation. Air India Flight 144, with 313 passengers bound for Mumbai, had taken off from Newark at 4:25 pm, when the engine caught fire. Erica Dumas, a Port Authority spokeswoman, said the captain turned the Boeing 777-300 around after reporting the engine had failed and he could see flames shooting from it. The plane landed at 5:01 pm, and no injuries were reported, though the captain had already ordered an ambulance. The plane was disabled upon landing, and passengers had to get off the plane and onto the tarmac, before being returned to the terminal, Dumas said. Air India later booked the passengers onto available flights.

Congress loyalists exchange views on freedom and liberty in US, India

Shady pathologist does autopsies in many counties

BY A STAFF WRITER

EW YORK -- At a gathering of Congress loyalists from the Tri-state area, an animated group discussion took place in an open forum at the Bombay Palace Restaurant in New York organized by Indian National Overseas Congress (INOC-I) USA and hosted by newlyappointed president Juned Qazi, on the subject of ‘Freedom and Liberty in USA and India’. General Secretary Harbachan Singh moderated the event. A v e t e r a n f o r m e r Me m b e r o f Parliament from Andhra Pradesh in India, Hon. Madhu Goud Yashki was specially invited as Guest Speaker for the function, particularly since he had experiences on this subject from both the countries, having lived in the US for many years and then seeking a Lok Sabha seat in India as a NonResident Indian. He served two terms in the Indian Parliament and worked closely with the Congress high command. “Freedom and Liberty are the common bonds that connects USA and India”, said Yashki, “When USA was gaining its freedom from England, they chose individual liberty to be something they would never comprise on. Likewise India chose liberty as its foundation and incorporated it in its Constitution as a fundamental right.” Responding to a question, Yashki said that a good government made it possible for every individual to live a life of dignity, adding that in such a scenario, all its citizens would be able to enjoy their liberties. He praised the INOC-I for gathering people and creating movements to create a good atmosphere where individual liberties can be exercised. “Without individual liberty, there is no meaning for freedom”, he emphasized. George Abraham, chairman, pointed out that NRIs had always imparted the message of freedom and liberty to the homeland and Mahatma Gandhi exemplified the very best among them as he had led the movement of Independence

against the British. Obviously, Gandhi’s political views, ethics and political leadership, he said, were shaped by his education in England and his lifetime experience in South Africa. He said that freedom in a democracy was a critical component and it could not be given or taken away. “It has to be nurtured if democracy is to survive. The constitution cannot protect our rights if we do not protect the constitution. If we do not remove those who violate the constitution, we would be weakening our own rights,” Abraham added. Juned Qazi was visibly very pleased at the scholarly discussion that took place and thanked the audience for their active participation. He warned of the potential threats to our liberties everywhere especially in India and urged everyone to be vigilant in protecting our hard-earned freedom. Prof. Indrajit Saluja, publisher and chief editor of ‘Indian Panorama’, paid tributes to the US on the eve of the celebration of its independence. “United States is the most charitable and generous nation in the world and its constitution provides freedom and liberty to each and every citizen. In India,

Congress party has strived to do the same over the years in terms of freedom and social justice and the party deserves our gratitude’ he added. H a r p r e e t S i n g h To o r, s p e c i a l representative to Assemblyman David Weprin, presented citations to Juned Qazi and to the INOC-I USA. Various participants, including women with political and academic backgrounds, spoke passionately on aspects of freedom and liberty which they considered more important and gave cogent reasons to justify their contentions. Among those who spoke were V.B Sharma, Col. Tavathia, U.A. Naseer (Kerala Chapter secretary), Ram Gadula, Harkesh Thakur, Attorney Anand Ahuja, Attorney Sanjay Dubey, Zinda Singh (Delhi chapter president), Sabina Ali (EC member), Mahesh Patel, Dr. Anurita Kapoor and Dr. Meena Alhuwaliya, Rahul Takur, Naqi Khan and Seema Jagtani. Harbachan Singh concluded that it was a very enriching and an educational experience which expanded the understanding of the people and an unfailing realization of good fortune and appreciation for living under administrations that enforced such freedom and liberties in both US and India in particular.

Gambling is no more rage in Atlantic City

Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian

TLANTIC CITY,NJ-- Atlantic City’s mayor says his city is in the midst of a painful transition from a gambling-centric resort to one where betting is only one of many things to do. Mayor Don Guardian says he believes top elected officials still strongly support his city, and will give it the full five-year turnaround time that Gov. Chris Christie promised before considering expanding gambling to the northern New Jersey Meadowlands and elsewhere. But within the last week, state Senate President Steve Sweeney suggested a referendum in 2015 on expanding casino gambling beyond Atlantic City, and Christie said he’d talk about it. Guardian and city tourism and marketing officials say Atlantic City’s nongambling revenues are increasing, even as casino revenue continues to plunge. As many as three casinos may close this year.

Mystery surrounds an Indian-origin woman’s death in a swimming pool

BY A STAFF WRITER

IX HILLS (NY) -- An Indian-origin woman was found dead in a swimming pool of a house, where she was attending a party. According to the local police investigating the drowning incident, the body of Rajkumari Motwani, 55, was found at the bottom of the swimming pool when residents of a home in Long Island were cleaning up their backyard following a party on July 12 night. They noticed a body in the deep end of the backyard pool. Police officers responded to a 911 call from the resident early on July 13 morning and Motwani’s body was pulled out from the water, the

Suffolk Police said. Motwani’s body has been transported to the Suffolk County medical examiner’s office. She was a guest at the birthday party and was pronounced dead at the scene. The police have not found any criminality in relation to Motwani’s death following a preliminary investigation after questioning residents of home and other party-goers. A neighbour of the house where the party was held said the bash ended at about 11:30 pm local time. She said two adult children lived in the house that was once inhabited by their parents, who moved to a different city two years ago.

UPCOMING

EW JERSEY -The Montgomery Police Department (MPD) is investigating a shooting that left one young store employee dead on the night of July 13. The police have initiated the city’s 15th homicide investigation of this year following the shooting death of 26-year old Rahul Patel of Montgomery. Patel was found by the police and fire medics who responded to reports of a subject shot at around 9:15 p.m. in the 4400 block of Troy Highway and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Sgt. Denise Barnes, MPD spokeswoman. Bharat Patel, who said he was a close friend of the family, said Rahul was working at the Troy Highway Package store, a convenience store on Troy Highway the night he was killed. He said Rahul was shot after an unknown man came barging into the store with a gun wanting to rob it. The police have not confirmed the death to be connected to a robbery and said the circumstances surrounding this fatal shooting were still under investigation. Bharat and other friends and family said they rushed over as soon as they heard news of the shooting. Almost a dozen customers stopped by the store on July 14 afternoon to see if the store was open after the news from the night before. The store was closed. The store was a family venture, and the Patels are closely-knit. “Its’ a big loss for the family. He was the family’s only son,” Bharat Patel said. After detectives and investigators cleared the area, Bharat and family and friends closed

the store. Before doing so, Bharat and others took a look at the store’s security footage. “There were three shots total. One of them hit Rahul and another one went through the cash register,” Bharat Patel said. “There was a 50 or 60-year-old working here. The robber pushed him when he entered the store and just fired the shots at Rahul.” “The whole thing, it’s just sad,” Turner said. Rahul had just been enjoying a birthday party with his friends and family earlier that day before he went to work and was shot, Bharat said. Son of Vinod Patel and Kailash, Rahul was a native of Bamangam in Anand district of India’s Gujarat state, and his family lives in Dhansura in Sabarkantha district. A few years ago, he migrated to New Jersey for a bright future and then moved to Alabama.

ICC charges James Anderson of misconduct IANS, NOTTINGHAM

ngland fast bowler James Anderson has been charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for violation of the Code of Conduct by allegedly abusing and pushing India’s Ravindra Jadeja during the first cricket Test at Trent Bridge. Anderson could miss the final two Tests of the series if found guilty of the Level 3 offense, which is seen as serious and range from physical altercations to use of offensive language. In retaliation, a “shocked” England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has accused Jadeja of a lesser offense as they do not want both players — especially Anderson — to be forced to miss the final two Tests. The ECB has decided to contest the misconduct allegations against Anderson and in turn seek sanction against Jadeja. A statement from the ECB read: “The England and Wales Cricket Board has today reacted with surprise that the India team has made allegations against James Anderson under Level 3 of

the ICC Code of Conduct for a minor incident involving Ravindra Jadeja during the first Investec Test match at Trent Bridge. “In the light of this, the ECB has notified the ICC of its intention to lodge code of conduct breaches against Jadeja.” Anderson, who was involved in world record last-wicket partnership with Joe Root in the drawn Test, was involved in some verbal altercations with Jadeja as the batsman and his captain MS Dhoni walked off for lunch. India allege that when the teams were inside the pavilion Anderson pushed the all-rounder.

that sexual relationship,” Fallis further said. To reach this conclusion, researchers asked 84 committed couples to answer questions about both their own levels of sexual satisfaction and that of their partners. When they compared selfreports of satisfaction to partners’ perceptions of satisfaction, they found that on average, both sexes were fairly good at gauging their partners’ sexual satisfaction. The next on researchers’ mind is to figure out if an accurate perception of partner’s sexual satisfaction bode well for the overall sex life.

The rainy season brings with it an increase in humidity, grime and pollution, which can intensify your skin and hair woes. But a little care here and there can ensure a smooth transition from one season to another for you. Acne, pimples, dryness of skin and frizzy tresses are some of the common problems that one can face when the season changes from the scorching summer to the

muggy monsoon. It is imperative to keep the skin clean and dry at all times, says Simal Soin, director and chief cosmetic dermatologist of the Aayna beauty and wellness clinic. “Pores tend to get clogged with

now why your love life sucks? Blame it on those “family action-packed” TV serials your partner watches every evening. According to a new study, love is an ingredient lacking in some of our favorite TV sitcoms and those who watch such shows have a more cynical view on love and romance. People who watch sitcoms regularly tend to have less of a belief in the idea of soulmate and lasting love. “But viewers who tune into real-

ity shows, like dating ones, have a greater tendency to be romantic and believe in the idea of true love,” researchers from University of Michigan said. The study looked to prove how influential, even subconsciously, TV can be on a person’s belief system. “Sitcoms, unlike dating shows, paint a flawed view of love. Rarely do relationships last on such shows and when they do, they are far from perfect,” researchers added. The study was published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture.

oil and dirt, especially in people with oily skin, more so during the monsoon, which makes your daily cleansing and exfoliating even more important,” Soin told IANS. “People with dry skin will notice their skin feel even more dehydrated during this change in season. You must use a good moisturizer that helps hold the water in the outer layers of your skin to give it a soft and supple look,” Soni added. Don’t hassle over how to follow the three-step process of cleansing, toning and moisturizing for skincare. Even washing the face with a mild face wash can give wonderful results, suggested Sushma Khan, national skin and makeup trainer, Lakme Salons.

LONDON: You may be hitting the gym and sweating it out, Kieran Fisher, founder and managing director of British Bodybuilding Warehouse, says there are a few points to keep in mind to ensure that regular workout reaps maximum benefits: GOING CARDIO CRAZY: Jumping straight on the cross trainer in a bid to burn away those calories and avoiding weights for fear of ‘bulking out’ is one of the most common mistakes to make. Endless cardio routines will burn muscle and could push your metabolism into a worse state than it started. Hitting the weights, will keep a stimulus on your muscles and keep your metabolism up at the same time. But despite thinking you’re not a natural runner or your arms are too weak for bicep curls, doing the same routine for too long will lead to a plateau and you will stop seeing res ults.

LIVING BY THE MACHINE: Don’t use cardio machines to count the calories you burn as the only factor of how hard you work. Everyone burns calories at a different rate depending on many different factors. A machine will not be able to tell you your exact expenditure — use them as a guide not as gospel. IMPATIENCE: So many people expect changes in a week, but consistency will be key in your goals. It won’ t happen overnight but it will happen, if you are consistent and work hard giving your body the right amount of time. Depending on how often you train and the intensity of your programme. PAIN EQUALS GAIN: Don’t use soreness as a guidance to workout . Just because you haven’t versed DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness) doesn’t directly mean that your workouts are bad. It could be a major hint that yo ur body and nutrition is spot on.

Soon, control ‘Google Glass’ with your thoughts

Curiosity Rover finds meteorites on Mars F Discovers its first meteorites on the red planet, named as ‘Lebanon’ and ‘Lebanon B’

IANS, NEW YORK

n a significant finding, NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has discovered its first meteorites on the red planet, which scientists have named ‘Lebanon’ and its smaller companion ‘Lebanon B’. The Mars meteorites were found May 25 and NASA released a detailed photo of the Lebanon meteorites on July 15. Curiosity took detailed pictures of the main Lebanon meteorite using its high-resolution Chem-Cam and Remote MicroImager cameras. The images revealed strange angular cavities in the surface of the rock. “That ‘Lebanon’ is huge, almost 7 feet,” NASA spokesman Guy Webster from the agency’s

ocus hard and you will be able to control Google Glass with your thoughts alone. Yes, your power of thoughts can give the computer eyewear commands to do certain things, like taking a picture and even posting it to Facebook. Developed by London-based start-up “This Place”, the open source “MindRDR” app combines wearable tech with another headset with sensor. It analyses the user’s brainwaves and gauge the user’s level of focus. Concentrate hard until a horizontal white line starts to rise on Google Glass “screen”. When the level crosses a certain threshold, MindRDR tells Google Glass to take a picture.

Stay focus and Glass will post the photo on social media. “It’s pretty cool when you have taken a picture and shared it, just by thinking,” said Chloe Kirton, creative director of This Place. The technology could also be used to help those with severe physical lack such as locked-in syndrome or severe multiple sclerosis. The new app is yet to be approved.

App to save precious data The Mars meteorites were found May 25 and NASA released a detailed photo of the Lebanon meteorites on July 15. Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California was quoted by Space.com as saying. Webster said Curiosity also found a third meteorite at the same time it spotted the Lebanon rocks. In a raw photo from Curiosity, the third meteorite which is also about 7 feet wide can be seen just beyond the closer Lebanon meteorites. “Heavy Metal! I found an iron meteorite on Mars,” Curiosity’s handlers wrote on the mission’s Twitter page. The three meteorites are the first space rocks on Mars discovered by the Curiosity

rover since it landed on the Red Planet in August 2012, Webster added. “One possible explanation is that they resulted from preferential erosion along crystalline boundaries within the metal of the rock,” NASA officials wrote in a statement. “Another possibility is that these cavities once contained olivine crystals, which can be found in a rare type of stony-iron meteorites called pallasites, thought to have been formed near the core-mantle boundary within an asteroid.”

ere comes an app that can help you save your precious smart phone data even if it is lost or destroyed. The app called “PicAway”, uploads all content from a smart phone to “the Cloud” — internetbased storage that is accessible by multiple devices, immediately without saving it on the actual device itself. The new feature replaces camera interface with a working browser. It gives an impression as if the user is surfing the net while

he/she can upload pictures directly to the Cloud if stuck in tricky situations. “We want to empower users with the ability to take photos and videos without the fear of those photos and videos being deleted, removed and/or lost,” app co-developer Pedram Afshar from Australian firm ‘5.5 Degrees’ was quoted as saying. By uploading the photos directly to the cloud, the app ensures that there are no missed opportunities as there is no question of “No Storage” message being popped up, reports added.

People with compulsive sexual behaviors — an obsession with sexual thoughts, feelings or behaviors which they are unable to control — behave in the same way as patients with drug addictions, according to researchers from the University of Cambridge in Britain. “The patients in our trial were people who had substantial difficulties controlling their sexual behaviors and this was having significant consequences for them, affecting their lives and relationships,” explained Valerie Voon at the Uni-

versity of Cambridge. During the study funded by the Wellcome Trust, 19 participants were shown a series of short videos featuring either sexually explicit

SMSes can help young adults reduce binge drinking You may tend to eat more than usual when your stressed, uncomfortable or dealing with mood swings IANS, New Delhi

f you cannot resist the sweets kept in your refrigerator and crave for food even after a sumptuous meal, you could be a victim of overeating, warn health experts. Stress, long hours of starvation and the wide variety of food options available in the market contribute to overeating, they say. Listing the various reasons that lead to overeating, dietitian Akshita Aggarwal told IANS: “Usually, when people feel emotional, stressed, are under any trauma or have any discomfort, they tend to eat a lot.” She added that sometimes people overeat when there is a long gap between two meals. “Some people eat more to feel better and overcome trauma,” Aggarwal added. “Apart from overeating, stress can also cause under-eating. Under eating leads to hair fall, calcium deficiency, less immunity, lack of glow on the face and anemia,” Choudhary added. However, Pawan Sethi, nutritionist at Dr. Rachna’s Diet in Mansarovar Garden, said that the percentage of people who eat when stressed is lower. “Rather, people these days earn well and have more affordable food options to select from. Also, the number of outings have increased where they end up eating more junk which leads to their being overweight,” added Sethi. Experts add that skipping or having a late breakfast is also a reason for being overweight. “These days, people leave for work early and by the time they have their food, it gets late. Since

The main effect of overeating in stress is overweight, which can further lead to various medical complications.

WASHINGTON: Young adults in the US who screened positive for a history of hazardous or binge drinking halved their binge drinking after receiving mobile phone text messages following a visit to the emergency department. “The hospitals provide a unique setting to screen young adults for drinking problems and to engage with them via their preferred mode of communication to reduce future use,” said Brian Suffoletto from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Medicine. During the study, researchers enrolled 765 young adult emergency patients with a history of hazardous drinking. For 12 weeks, one-third received text messages prompting them to respond to drinking-related queries and received text messages in return for offering feedback on their answers.

Cheap device may diagnose diabetes at home IANS, WASHINGTON

they have not eaten a proper meal, they are extremely hungry and end up eating anything which comes in front of them,” Choudhary told IANS. Aggarwal said that the few symptoms associated with overeating include “eating more rapidly than normal, depression or mood swings, abnormal eating patterns, history of weight fluctuations, unsuccessful diets and obesity”. “The main effect of overeating in stress is overweight, which can further lead to various medical complications,” concurred Choudhary. “Apart from weight gain, hormonal imbalance usually seen in females gives rise to irregular menstruation, facial growth, hair fall and PCOS,” Aggarwal told IANS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder

which affects women of reproductive age. Those affected suffer from numerous cysts located along the outer edge of each ovary. “It is very important for women with PCOS to keep a tab on their weight as the condition leads to further medical complications,” added Choudhary. She added that though there is no particular age for a person to suffer from the condition, it can even start from a very young age. “The condition is usually seen in youngsters as they eat more junk food, but even elders suffer from the same problem,” said Sethi. Adding, ‘If compulsive overeating, is not treated it can lead to diseases like obesity, diabetics, heart disease, hypertension, depression, kidney disease and high cholesterol.’

The group receiving text messages decreased their self-reported binge drinking days by 51 percent and decreased the number of self-reported drinks per day by 31 percent. “We need to intervene in a meaningful way in the health and habits of people when they are young,” Suffoletto added. — IANS

n a significant discovery, researchers have invented a cheap and hand-held device to diagnose type-1 diabetes at home. People who are at risk of developing type-1 diabetes can also benefit from the nanotech microchip-based device because it will allow doctors to quickly track if they can have the disease later in life. “With the new test, not only do we anticipate being

able to diagnose diabetes more efficiently and more broadly, we will also understand diabetes better,” said Brian Feldman, at Stanford University. The handheld microchips distinguish between the two main forms of diabetes mellitus — type-1 and type-2 — which are both characterized by high blood-sugar levels but have different causes and treatments. The test was validated with blood samples from people newly diagnosed with diabetes and from people without diabetes. Both groups had the old test and the microchip-based test performed on their blood. The new microchip uses no radioactivity, produces results in minutes and requires minimal training to use.

Your week ahead... Aries You like obstacles. Obstacles give you something to work around. They give you something to do. When all the barriers before you suddenly lift, you and your comrades march toward victory in a shower of confetti. Weekend is all yours.

Taurus You wake up feeling like a character in a romance novel. Your entire life seems oriented toward the prospect of love. Flattery and sex appeal figure strongly. The weekend recoil you to the realm of red roses and box of chocolates.

Gemini You have more strength than you realize, and you’re a lot farther ahead than you think. If a spreadsheet has you cross-eyed don’t panic. The tide is finally going your way, if only some cash would float by. Weekend is purely love.

Cancer You are overwhelmed and irritable, but you don’t have to let anyone else know that. It’s all about how you come across. Be alert and communicate clearly. Emotions are running high at the end of the week. You are indefatigable.

Leo You are a success. You are almost a legend among your coworkers. When someone asks casually about your life goals, don’t be shy. Modesty and pride are major themes. Weekend is one of those top-of-the-mountain days.

Virgo It’s healthy to have the jitters before traveling. An open, philosophical approach — rather than a strictly practical approach — is the way to go during the first half of this week. Weekend seems good to socialize around others.

(July 21-27) Libra A diplomatic tete-a-tete may be necessary to smooth things over between you and an important ally. Find something to laugh about. Find a way to appreciate beauty and harmony while getting things done.

Scorpio The push and pull isn’t a fight per se, it’s just several people trying to establish interpersonal edge. Take a stand, a compromise here or there will make things easier, you can handle that. Money issues requires attention.

Sagittarius Don’t be so concerned with how you’re going to harvest apples from a tree you haven’t planted yet. Get the tree planted and worry about how to make apple pie after you’re ringed by bucket of apples. Weekend is lucky.

Capricorn Spending some time in nature would be a swell idea. Indulge in several hours of doing nothing at all. Friends are talking your ear off. Energy levels surge by the weekend. All the havoc in the rest of your world seeps into your home life.

Aquarius A sizzling affair: strawberries, whipped cream — pure bliss. Your emotionality is not in charge; you’re in charge. Organize your feelings and get plenty of sleep. Weekend is an energized day.

Pisces Try your hand at being creative, but don’t be too specific about what you do. Clarity of thought isn’t as important as fullness of feeling. Friday is a romantic day and the mystery of this other person in your life is endlessly thrilling.
