Aye to Net neutralists but work just begins PRASANTO K. ROY, IANS

n Monday afternoon, India’s telecom regulator finally put to rest the fiery net neutrality debate in India -- by ruling against zero rating and differential tariffs. Zero rating lets Airtel users use Facebook, for instance, free of data levies, while charging for access to other services or websites. This violates net neutrality, which says there should be no differential pricing — free data for one service, but priced for another — based on the content or web sites. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has now forbidden such “discriminatory pricing” by whatever name it may be called. The watchdog’s ruling is clear and sharp, and a blow to Facebook’s high-stakes Free Basics platform, born as Internet.org, as well as to Airtel Zero and other zero-rating platforms tried out, or planned, by telcos. The year-long battle between the heavyweights, including telecom giants and Facebook, and a bunch of volunteers under the SaveTheInternet.in banner, was fiery, and

seemingly unequal. Facebook ploughed in an estimated Rs.300 crore into its threemonth campaign defending Free Basics. Against it, though, the lone volunteeractivists gradually managed to drum up a great deal of public support. A spokesman said Facebook was “disappointed with the outcome, but we will continue our efforts to eliminate barriers and give the unconnected an easier path to the internet and the opportunities it brings”. The reality may be more nuanced than that. A battle much bigger than activists versus Facebook is up ahead: Providing Internet access to nearly a billion Indians who are offline, or nominally online, today. First, the nuances. Facebook is responsible for a great deal of the Internet penetration in India. Of the 300 million mobile users who make up over 90 percent of India’s internet base, 56 percent use WhatsApp daily, and 51 percent use Facebook, according to a TNS survey released last October. So, at least two out of every three Internet users in India use mobile data -- purely to use one or the other of Facebooks apps,

Trump, Sanders cruise to wins

Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, delivered a concession speech that appeared to be an effort to co-opt Bernie Sanders’ message about an economy stacked against the middle class ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

wo outsiders -- Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders-cruised to early victories in the first primary battleground of New Hampshire turning the nomination contests into a long drawn battle that may well stretch into spring. With his win, Trump, the brash real estate mogul and celebrity who had never run for public office before, recovering from his second place finish in Iowa caucuses, seemed to legitimize his status as the frontrunner among the Republicans. With about 80 percent results in shortly before February 9 midnight, Sanders had a double digit 59.9 percent to 38.5 percent lead over Hillary Clinton, while

Action plan to boost US cybersecurity WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama on February 9 rolled out a national action plan aimed at taking near-term actions and putting in place a long-term strategy to strengthen the country’s cybersecurity.

Under Obama’s plan, a commission will be created to make recommendations on actions “that can be taken over the next decade to enhance cybersecurity awareness and protections throughout the private sector and at all levels of government,” the White House said in a statement, Xinhua reported. The commission, comprised of top strategic, business, and technical thinkers from outside of government, including members to be designated by the bi-partisan Congressional leadership, will present a roadmap for future cybersecurity actions to Obama before the end of 2016. The Obama administration will also create a new federal position known as Federal Chief Information Security Officer to drive cybersecurity policy, planning, and implementation across the federal government.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

Trump was sitting pretty among Republicans with 34.5 percent more than double his nearest rival Ohio governor John Kasich with 16.4 percent.

Trump appeared on stage with a beaming smile on his face and gave a thumbs-up to his crowd of supporters. “Wow, wow, wow,” Trump said. “We are going to make Amer-

ica great again.” A hoarse but jubilant Sanders also thanked his supporters with a passionate speech. “Tonight we have sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California,” he said.His Democratic rival, Clinton, delivered a concession speech that appeared to be an effort to co-opt Sanders’ message about an economy stacked against the middle class while she vowed to fight her rival across the political map. “Now we take this campaign to the entire country. We are going to fight for every vote in every state,” she said, foreshadowing a long fight for the nomination. “People have every right to be angry. But they are also hungry. They are hungry for solutions,” she said, adding that she wanted to rein

in Wall Street. “But I know how to do it,” Clinton said, implying that Sanders’ calls for a revolution were unrealistic. She also sent an email to supporters vowing to keep fighting and asking them to chip in with $1.” With Trump cruising to victory as expected, the interest in the Republican race centered on who would win the second place. That distinction went to Kasich with Iowa winner Texas Senator Ted Cruz, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio battling for a third-place finish. Victories of Sanders and Trump reflect deep bipartisan discontent at professional politicians and suggest that both the Democratic and Republican races will now be long struggles that could stretch well into the spring, CNN said.

“This imbalanced proposal continues to tie our astronauts’ feet to the ground and makes a Mars mission all but impossible," Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, said in a statement.

In a “State of NASA” speech at the agency’s Langley Research Centre, NASA administrator Charles Bolden made no specific mention of those cuts. “We’ll continue to make great progress on the SLS,” he said.

Obama proposes $19 bn budget for NASA in 2017 IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Barak Obama has proposed $19 billion for the US space agency in the fiscal 2017 budget - a little less that $19.3 billion NASA received for the fiscal 2016. According to the initial numbers released by NASA, while $5.6 billion are earmarked for science, $3.3 billion are for deep-space exploration programmes like Mars. The proposed budget also lists $5.1 billion for space operations, including $1.4 billion for upkeep of the International Space Station

(ISS) and $1.2 billion for the Commercial Crew programme to replace the space shuttle, the US space agency said in a statement. “The $19 billion budget, as proposed, would shift some funds from NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion programs to aeronautics and space technology, in addition to the overall cuts, while also move funds within the agency’s science account,” spacenews.com reported. The decrease in NASA budget is partly due to Obama’s proposal to cut $840 million from deep-space exploration programs and $100 million from planetary science.

Liability pact makes India-US N-deal a big deal ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

ndia’s ratification of an international convention on nuclear energy accident liability has removed a major irritant in IndiaUS relations and would help them unleash the full potential of the landmark India-US nuclear deal. The US was quick to welcome the development removing the last hurdle in the way of US firms to build nuclear plants in India and generate an estimated $100 billion in business seven years after the deal was signed with much fanfare. A deal between Toshiba Corp’s Westinghouse Electric to build six nuclear reactors in Gujarat may well be signed in time for a possible visit by Prime Minister Naren-

dra Modi to Washington to attend the March 31-April 1 nuclear security summit. With India agreeing to ratify the IAEA Convention on Supplementary Compensation for

Nuclear Damage (CSC), it would also gain access to international funds with risk shared according to how many nuclear plants a country has.

The February 4 submission of the instrument of ratification to IAEA in Vienna, according to Indian officials “is the conclusive step in the addressing of issues related to civil nuclear liability in India.” State Department spokesman John Kirby has acknowledged that Indian membership in the CSC will “facilitate participation by companies from the US in the construction of nuclear reactors in India.” And as he noted it will also reduce “India’s reliance on carbonintensive sources, that will benefit the environment, and will offer India greater energy security for its large and growing economy.” And that makes it a big deal.

Headley spills the beans The 26/1 mastermind exposed the role of Pakistan army, terror organizations, spy agency ISI and others in Mumbai terror attacks IANS, MUMBAI

ontinuing his expose on the role of Pakistan-based terror organizations, its army, spy agency ISI and others, LeT terrorist-turnedapprover David Coleman Headley described how he was assigned to gather military intelligence in India and recruit spies from the Indian Army. During his deposition through video-conferencing from a US jail before the special TADA court here, Headley said he was tasked with luring spies from the Indian Army to work for Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). A man identified as Major Ali of the Pakistan Army wanted him to note troop movement in India as part of the plan to infiltrate the military establishments here. "He wanted me to note the movement of troops in India. He wanted someone to spy on matters of mili-

US to help India WASHINGTON: Following PakistaniAmerican Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Coleman Headley's testimony in a Mumbai court, the US has reiterated its commitment help India bring to justice those responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The US Justice Department had made Headley now serving a 35-year sentence in Chicago, "available by

video link to a court in Mumbai to provide his testimony on his involvement in the attack," US State Department Spokesperson John Kirby told reporters. Asked if Headley will be freed from the Chicago jail following his testimony in the Mumbai case, he said it was an issue for the Justice Department to comment on.

tary intelligence, movement of officers. He wanted me to develop contacts with officials of Indian military forces with a purpose to gather intelligence," said Headley. In response to questions posed by Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, Headley admitted to working both for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the ISI. Headley revealed that the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks were planned

over a year in Pakistan. Detailing the planning for the 26/11 strike, he said that in November-December 2007, he had attended a meeting in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir along with his LeT contact Sajid Mir and Abu Khafa, in which they asked him to conduct a recce of Hotel Taj Mahal Palace and other locations in Mumbai. At the meeting, the LeT leaders

gave information about a plan to strike during an upcoming conference of Indian defense officials and scientists at the luxury hotel opposite the Gateway of India which they wanted to hit, Headley told the court of Special Judge G.A. Sanap. However, that plan — to be executed a year before the Mumbai terror attacks — was subsequently dropped as the conference itself was canceled, he added. Headley was specifically asked by his handlers to survey and videograph the second floor of the hotel which he did along with his wife Faiza, when they stayed there between September 14-28, 2006, and selected the landing site for the vessels which would sneak in from the Arabian Sea at Colaba. He said he had met Major Iqbal

of the Pakistan Army first time in 2006 at a house in Lahore and discussed the matters with him. Besides Hotel Taj, Headley made videos of Leopold Cafe, Colaba police station, markets and restaurants in Colaba, the naval and air force stations, the Maharashtra Police headquarters, Hotel TridentOberoi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, and the Siddhi Vinayak temple in Prabhadevi. Headley said that in 2003, he was present at a LeT meeting when Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar made a guest speech about his anti-India activities and his release from India (in December 1999 in exchange for passengers of the hijacked Indian Airlines flight IC-814).

IIT-Delhi alumnus to head Cornell’s new B-school The Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi alumnus is considered an authority on the impact of new technology on the business world, especially social media ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

oumitra Dutta, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, will become the dean of a new integrated College of Business being launched by the Cornell University during the 2016-17 academic year. Dutta currently is dean and professor of management and organizations in the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. He is considered an authority on the impact of new technology on the business world, especially social media and social networking, and on strategies for driving growth and innovation by embracing the digital economy. The Ithaca, New York based Ivy League institution announced that the new college was aimed at

cementing the university’s position as a world-class center of teaching and research for business management and entrepreneurship. The new College of Business will comprise Cornell’s three accredited business programs: the School of

Hotel Administration (SHA), the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. Each school will maintain its

unique identity and mission, while their collective capabilities will be strengthened by bringing together faculty, curricular offerings, and programs within a cohesive College. The establishment of the College, through a change in the university’s bylaws, was unanimously approved by the Cornell Board of Trustees at its meeting on January 30. “Being able to leverage Dyson’s strength in international development and agricultural economics, SHA’s expertise in hospitality, entrepreneurship, and real estate (through the Baker Program in Real Estate), and Johnson’s depth in economics, finance, and executive training will naturally lead to a College of Business that stands out for its unparalleled breadth of instructional excellence,” said Dutta.

Sikh American barred from Mexico flight IANS, WASHINGTON

ikh American actor and designer Waris Ahluwalia says he was barred from boarding a flight home to New York from Mexico because he refused to remove his turban during a security check. Ahluwalia, according to the New York Times, said on February 8 that he checked in at the Aeroméxico counter at Mexico City’s international airport about 5:30 a.m. and was given his first-class boarding pass with a code that he said meant he needed secondary security

screening. When he showed up at the gate to board Flight 408 to New York City, Ahluwalia said, attendants told him he needed to step aside and wait for other passengers

Sikh American actor and designer Waris Ahluwalia was asked to take off his turban to board. After he did, his feet and bag were searched and swabbed, he was also told to take off his turban.

“I responded matter-of-factly that I won’t be taking off my turban,” he was quoted as saying in an interview from the airport in Mexico City. He said he was told by another airline security official that he would not be boarding any other Aeroméxico flight until he met their security demands. The airline said in a statement that Ahluwalia’s screening was in compliance with Transportation Security Administration protocol and that the airline had offered him alternatives to “reach his destination as soon as possible.”

Online dating: Women don’t make first move IANS, TORONTO

ll men please take note! In the online dating world, women do not like to send personal messages to initiate contact and later mating and would rather send “weak signals” than making the first move, a team of Indian-origin researchers has revealed. According to Jui Ramaprasad, assistant professor of information systems at McGill University, they still see that women don’t make the

“first move” online. “Weak signaling is the ability to visit or ‘check out’ a potential mate’s profile so the potential mate knows the focal-user visited,” she noted. The offline ‘flirting’ equivalents, at best, would be a suggestive look or a preening bodily gesture such as a hair toss to one side or an over-theshoulder glance -- each subject to myriad interpretations and possible misinterpretations. Much less ambiguity exists in the online environment if the focal-user

views another user’s profile and leaves a visible train in his ‘Recent Visitors’ list. The researchers also found that users with anonymous browsing viewed more profiles. Surprisingly, however, users who browsed anonymously also wound

up with fewer matches than their non-anonymous counterparts. This was especially true for female users: those with anonymous browsing wound up with an average of 14 percent fewer matches. Men often take the cue. “Men

Google’s search chief Amit Singhal to resign WASHINGTON: India-born Amit Singhal, the longtime chief of Google’s Internet search business, will leave the company on February 26 and be replaced by the head of the technology giant’s artificial intelligence (AI) business. With John Giannandrea, currently a vice president of engineering, taking Singhal’s place, Google is merging its research efforts with search, an indication of the priority of machine learning inside the company. Singhal, a 15-year Google veter-

an, was named “Google Fellow” in 2006 for his engineering work on the early search engine. In recent years, he has led the aggressive push for Google to improve its search results on mobile. “Search is stronger than ever, and will only get better in the hands of an outstanding set of senior leaders who are already running the show day-to-day,” Singhal wrote in his retirement message on Google Plus. “My life has been a dream journey,” he wrote. “From a little boy growing up in the Himalayas dreaming of the Star Trek computer, to an immigrant who came to the United States with two suitcases and not much else, to the person responsible for Search at Google, every turn has enriched me and made me a better person.”

send four times the number of messages that women do,” said coauthor Akhmed Umyarov, assistant professor at University of Minnesota, adding that the anonymity feature doesn’t change things so much for men. The team examined the impact of anonymous browsing via a premium online browsing service where 50,000 users were given free access to the feature for a month, enabling them to view profiles of other users without leaving telltale digital traces. “Even though people are willing to pay to become anonymous in online dating sites, we find that the feature is detrimental to the average users,” noted professor Ravi Bapna from Minnesota. The study was published in the journal Management Science.

US steps up military pressure on North Korea The US and South Korea have begun negotiations on the deployment of Lockheed Martin's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system to the Korean peninsula IANS, BEIJING

he US is leading a drive to exert military pressure on North Korea in response to Pyongyang's satellite launch which could escalate regional tension. US defense officials on February 8 said Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, would meet his Japanese and South Korean counterparts in Hawaii this week to discuss Pyongyang's launch, Xinhua reported. Lee Sun-jin, South Korean Army General and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Katsutoshi Kawano, head of Japan's SelfDefense Forces, would participate in the meeting, which was scheduled after North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test on January 6. Moreover, the US and South Korea have begun negotiations on the deployment of Lockheed Martin's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system to the Korean peninsula in

North Korea is banned from rocket launches using any ballistic missile technologies. The February 7 launch may lead to further sanctions Pyongyang.

response to Pyongyang launch on February 7, the Pentagon said separately on February 8. "The goal of the formal consultations is to bilaterally explore the feasibility of THAAD deploying to and operating on the Korean peninsula at the earliest possible date," Peter Cook, spokesman for the US Department of Defense, said.

Cook stressed the negotiations underscored the "ironclad" commitment of the US to defend South Korea and would be "focused solely" on North Korea. China, as a key regional stakeholder, has expressed deep concerns over the proposed THAAD deployment, which it says could worsen the already fragile situation in Northeast Asia.

"China holds a consistent and clear stance on the anti-missile issue," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on February 7. "When pursuing its own security, one country should not impair others' security interests." Pyongyang on February 7 said it had successfully launched a Kwangmyongsong-4 Earth observation satellite into orbit in less than 10 minutes after the liftoff at 9.00 a.m. (local time). The launch, which took place about a month after Pyongyang claimed it had successfully tested its first hydrogen bomb, caused serious concern around the world and may lead to further sanctions against North Korea. The country is banned from rocket launches using any ballistic missile technologies, according to multiple UN Security Council resolutions. The UN Security Council on February 7 strongly condemned the latest launch, calling it a serious violation of its resolutions.

Israel plans to encircle itself with security fences JERUSALEM: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on February 10 he has plans to encircle Israel with fences because the Mideast is filled with "wild beasts" that imperil the Jewish country. "We are preparing a multi-year plan to surround the entire State of Israel with security fences to protect ourselves in the current Middle East," Netanyahu said during a tour to the construction site of a new fence along its eastern border with Jordan, Xinhua reported. "In the place where we live, we must defend ourselves against the wild beasts," Netanyahu said, apparently referring to Islamist militants. He also said that openings in the separation wall in the West Bank will be sealed off. On January 20, Israel began the construction of a 30-km-long barrier along its border with Jordan. The fence will stretch from the resort city of Eilat, Israel's southernmost city, to the airport of Timna. It will cost about 288 million shekels, (over $74 million), according to a statement released last month by the Ministry of Defense. The fence will be the latest "security fence" erected by Israel. In 2013, Israel completed the construction of a 240-km-long fence along its border with Egypt to stop African asylum seekers and militants.

Pakistan approves draft IS spreading to South Asia: UN law on Hindu marriages ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's National Assembly (NA) committee has approved a draft law on Hindu marriages, paving the way for registering marriages in the minuscule religious minority of the country, the media reported on February 9. Five Hindu MNAs were on Monday specially invited to the deliberations of the Standing Committee on Law and Justice on the Hindu Marriage Bill 2015, Dawn online reported. Though delaying tactics continued almost to the last, the committee

adopted the bill unanimously after making two amendments to fix the minimum age of the marrying male and female at 18 and making the law applicable to the whole country, instead of just the federal territory. Committee chairman Chaudhry Mahmood Bashir Virk regretted the long-drawn tactical delay in framing family law for the Hindu community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was unbecoming of us Muslims in general and the political leaders in particular. We were required to facilitate the legislation, not obstruct it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon has warned of the danger of the Islamic State (IS) spreading its tentacles to South Asia through organizations like the Tehreek-eKhilafat in Pakistan and called for international action against the grave threat. In a grim report on the Islamic State's threat to international peace and security presented to the Security Council on February 9, Ban said groups like the Tehreek-e-Khilafat in Pakistan "are sufficiently attracted by its underlying ideology to pledge allegiance to its so-called caliphate and self-proclaimed caliph." Ban called the terrorist organization Islamic State, which is also known by the acronyms ISIS, ISIL and Da'esh, "an unprecedented threat to international peace and security." He said, "This is a matter of considerable concern, since these groups appear to be emulating ISIL's tactics and carrying out attacks on its behalf." "In 2016 and beyond, member

states should prepare for a further increase in the number of foreign terrorist fighters travelling to other States on the instructions of ISIL," he added.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan, IS continues to develop its network The Islamic State now controls swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria, but Ban said, "The recent expansion of the ISIL sphere of

influence across West and North Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia demonstrates the speed and scale at which the gravity of the threat has evolved in just 18 months." "In Afghanistan and Pakistan, ISIL continues to develop a network of contacts and sympathizers who carry out attacks in its name," Ban said. "On 13 January 2016, the ISIL group 'Khorasan Province,' which operates in Pakistan and Afghanistan, issued a statement claiming credit for an attack on the Pakistani Consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan."

Sushil Koirala: Gritty soldier of democracy DEEPAK GOEL, NEW DELHI

ushil Koirala, 76, who died in Kathmandu following respiratory failure this week, will be remembered as the prime minister of Nepal who stewarded a republican federal constitution of the former Hindu kingdom. Prime minister from February 11, 2014, to October 10, 2015, he successfully manoeuvred the new charter through Nepal’s Constituent Assembly on September 20, 2015 -thus bringing to a happy conclusion the seven-year-long odyssey that had evaded a resolution. Born into a prestigious, influential family that dominated Nepali politics and gave four prime ministers to the Himalayan nation, Sushil Koirala — or Sushil Daai as he was popularly called — led a simple life. A bachelor with frugal Gandhian tastes, he was known for his integrity and simple lifestyle. He often described himself as a foot-soldier of the Nepali Congress which he served for more than 60 years. He was its current president and eyed a second term. A little-known fact of

his life was that while his father wished him to join government service, he dreamt of a career in Bollywood. But the pro-democracy movement in Nepal drew him to politics. Inspired by the socialdemocratic ideals of the Nepali Congress, Koirala, then a callow 15year-old, entered politics in 1954. Aged 21, he went into political exile in India for 16 years following the royal takeover of 1960 when the then Nepal king Mahendra purged

OBITUARY an elected parliament and assumed totalitarian rule. During his exile years, Koirala came in contact with prominent Indian leaders, including then West Bengal chief minister Bidhan Chandra Roy, and socialists Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia and Madhu Dandavate, among others. A gritty fighter of the pro-democracy movement in Nepal, Koirala was also a dour combatant at personal level — he overcame severe health complications in life and survived tongue and lung cancers.

Koirala also spent three years in Indian jails for his involvement in a plane hijacking in 1973. While in exile, Koirala was the editor of Tarun, the official party publication of the Nepali Congress. He served as member of parliament several times but declined ministerial posts, preferring to serve the party -- he was member of the Central Working Committee of the party since 1979 and was appointed general secretary of the party in 1996 and vice president in 1998. It was only after the death of his mentor — and elder cousin — Girija Prasad Koirala in 2010 that the mantle of the Koirala clan fell upon the unassuming Sushil Daai. He was elected Nepali Congress president the same year. A cousin of three former prime ministers of Nepal -- Bisheshwor Prasad Koirala, Matrika Prasad Koirala and Girija Prasad Koirala -Sushil Daai was a grand-uncle of Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala. Asked about his bachelorhood, Koirala would candidly admit that he was “too busy in politics” to have considered tying the knot. “I was married to democracy....”

Aye to Net neutralists but work just begins PRASANTO K. ROY, IANS

including WhatsApp. It would be great to find a net-neutral way to let users access the apps or sites they need to (which may include WhatsApp or Facebook), free, or cheaply. The Net neutrality movement, and now TRAI, have shot down Free Basics, which would have got Facebook and a few select apps free of data charges to subscribers of one telco (Reliance Communications). But TRAI hasn’t yet suggested what alternatives could be used to provide cheap or free Internet access to the hundreds of millions of mobile users who are unable or unwilling to pay for mobile data. There are several options as well. For instance, letting telecom companies offer a certain amount of free data for all, or using apps like Gigato which allow sponsors to top-up data, free, for prepaid users of specific apps: that recharged data can then be used for accessing any website or app. Then there’s Digital India. Former journalist Pierre Fitter puts it well: “Good that all Web content will be treated as equal. Now comes the important bit: making sure everyone can access the Internet.”

Landslide win for TRS, TDP-BJP out

TRS bagged 99 seats. Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen withstood TRS wave in its stronghold to emerge as second largest party with 44 seats in Hyderabad polls IANS, HYDERABAD

reating history, Telangana’s ruling TRS scored a landslide victory in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections, winning 99 seats in 150member body. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) wave washed away main opposition Congress and the Telugu Desam Party-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP-TDP) alliance, together reduced to single digits. According to the final tally, TRS bagged 99 seats. Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) withstood TRS wave in its

stronghold of old city to emerge as second largest party with 44 seats. However, the massive mandate for TRS means MIM will not have the kingmaker’s role, which it historically enjoyed in the municipal body. It will be the main opposition party in the new body. The BJP won three and its alliance partner TDP won one seat. The alliance, which is in power in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, was virtually wiped out. The fate of Congress was no different. The main opposition party in Telangana could win just two seats. The TRS, which had not con-

tested the GHMC elections in 2009, will name its corporator as a mayor in a day or two. It was a remarkable performance for TRS in Hyderabad, which is currently joint capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The party which led the movement for separate Telangana state formed the first government in the new state following its victory in 2014 elections. However, it could win just two out of 24 assembly seats in GHMC limits. As many as 33,60,543 voters out of the total electorate of 74,23,980 had cast their votes in the elections held on February 9. A total of

TRS workers celebrate after winning the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) in Hyderabad on February 5. (Photo: IANS)

1,333 candidates were in the fray. This was the first GHMC election after the formation of separate Telangana state.

The TRS had no representation in the previous body, where the Congress shared power with MIM after their victory in 2009 elections.

Kerala governor applauds Chandy’s five year rule IANS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

‘Chandy government will retain power’

he Left opposition was in protest mode demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy but Kerala Governor P.Sathasivam on February 6 in his address to the assembly cited Albert Einstein to give full credit to his five-year tenure. “Einstein once said that all that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to an individual. “Going by that saying, I am proud to say that the last five years of my government has been a golden age of opportunities - an age where dreams came true, an age that propelled Kerala towards a fast trajectory of growth and development, an age which has opened

All set for opening of Kochi Smart City KOCHI: A final review meeting was held here on February 6 to finalize the programme for the February 20 opening of Kerala’s much-delayed mega IT project — the Kochi Smart City project. The review meeting was chaired by Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson and other top officials from the state government and representatives of project partner, Dubai Holdings. Thomson told reporters after the meeting that this would be a function as has never been witnessed in the state before. Among those taking part would include Chief Minister Oommen

Chandy, UAE’s Cabinet Affairs Minister and Dubai Holdings chairman Mohammed Al Gargawi, Dubai Holdings vice chairman and managing director Ahmad Binbyat and other top dignitaries from the state government and from Dubai Holdings. The first phase that would be inaugurated is the 6.5 lakh square feet building, in which, according to Baju George, interim CEO, Kochi Smart City , 27 IT companies have already taken 75 percent of the leasable space and many of them have already started their fit-out jobs.

KOCHI: The Oommen Chandy government in Kerala will retain power in the assembly elections scheduled later this year, former defense minister A.K. Antony said on February 6 — a hope contrary to the state’s history so far. “There has been no government that has done so much for the state, like the present one and hence there will be continuity of governance and Chandy government will retain power,” Antony told reporters here. The Congress leader’s confidence runs contrary to Kerala’s electoral history.

during our tenure,” he added. Sathasivam also spoke tough when the Left opposition was up in arms demanding the resignation of Chandy over the various scams that has surfaced and he asked them either to sit quiet or leave the house as he has a constitutional job to do. At this, the entire Left opposition boycotted his address and sat in protest outside the assembly campus.

male leopard was on February 7 tranquilized and trapped after it quietly entered a private school in the city and injured five people, a wildlife official said. “We bolted the room in which the leopard was hiding and tranquilized it with one shot through the mesh and ferried in a cage to the Bannerghatta zoo,” Karnataka chief wildlife warden Ravi Ralph told IANS here. “We got a call from Vibgyor Public School in the evening that a

As the school was closed on Sunday, barring a couple of security guards, hundreds of students and faculty were lucky to have escaped a ferocious attack by the eightyear-old leopard. “The leopard seems to have strayed into the city late Saturday from a nearby forest area in search of prey and jumped into the school premises over a compound wall,” Ralph, who rushed to the spot for rescuing it, pointed out. Of the five persons injured in the rescue operation, a wildlife activist Sanjay Gubbi, was hurt grievously.

Nani eyes hattrick of hits

“I usually don’t let any kind of pressure bother me. More than success, it’s the pressure that comes with failure that’s even more worrisome, people are writing off actors if they don’t like a film” to do such films. No matter whichever script I choose henceforth, I’ve learnt that it needs to be incorporated with entertainment, which, in my opinion, is what audiences expect from me.”

IANS, CHENNAI

ctor Nani, who is eyeing a hat-trick of hits with forthcoming Telugu release Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, says he never lets the pressure that comes with success bother him as he always tries to focus on delivering what is expected of him. “I usually don’t let any kind of pressure bother me. More than success, it’s the pressure that comes with failure that’s even more worrisome, because the scenario in the industry is such that people are writing off actors if they don’t like a film,” Nani told IANS. With two back-to-back hits last year, Nani’s market value has grown immensely. He believes that will only draw more audiences to the theatres.

“With the success of ‘Yevade Subramanyam’ and ‘Bhale Magadivoy’, the faith of audience has increased in me”

“With the success of Yevade Subramanyam and Bhale Magadivoy, the audience’s faith in me has increased, which is a good sign,” he said, adding that the success has made

him realize that he is not cut out for commercial cinema. “I have realized that I am not cut out for the regular, commercial potboilers. I know I don’t have it in me

Talking about this week’s release Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, Nani said he has never felt so positive and confident before the release of any of his films. “When director Hanu Raghavapudi pitched the idea, I found it to be very unique, simply because it’s

not a routine film, though it has all the quintessential elements of a crowd-pleaser. It has all the commercial trappings of a typical Telugu film, yet it has something that makes it different and that’s what got me excited in the first place,” he said. “Usually, I get the jitters before a release and my whole system crashes. I can barely eat or sleep. This time, I don’t feel the same way. Never have I been so positive, calm and confident before a release. The success of the film will just serve as additional bonus, because I’m already extremely happy with the way the film has come out,” he added. Next up for the Eega actor is a project with his mentor Indraganti Mohan Krishna, with whom he worked eight years ago in his first film Ashta Chamma.

Rakul in remake of ‘Thani Oruvan’ Though “Bruce Lee” tanked at the box-office, Ram and Rakul were a hit as a pair. Hence, they’re teaming up once again. The remake, which will be directed by Surrender Reddy, will go on the floors later this month. The film will feature Ram Charan in the role of a righteous IPS officer, while actor Aravind Swamy will be seen as the antagonist. Hip Hop Tamizha has been roped in to compose the tunes.

IANS, CHENNAI

ctress Rakul Preet Singh has reportedly been finalized as the leading lady opposite actor Ram Charan in the yet-untitled Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster ace Thani Oruvan. “Rakul has been finalized as the heroine. After last year’s ‘Bruce Lee’, this is the second time she’s pairing up with Ram Charan,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS.

FILM REVIEW | TAMIL CHENNAI: Actor Ajay Ghosh, who impressed audiences and critics alike with his menacing performance in Tamil thriller Visaaranai, is essaying the role of a dreaded dacoit in Baahubali: The Conclusion. “I play a character called bandipotu (dacoit) Veeraya, who is part of Anushka’s kingdom in the film. I have already completed shooting for five days in the Kerala schedule last month. I will join the sets again in March to shoot rest of my portion,” Ajay told IANS. Excited about being part of India’s biggest motion picture, he says he can’t wait to watch himself on the screen. “It’s a very interesting role. I am very excited and eager to know how audiences will receive it,” he said. In Vetrimaaran-directed Visaaranai, which released in theatres last week, Ajay played a conniving and sadistic police officer.

Since the film’s release, he has been getting extremely positive feedback for his role. “Although it is a negative character, people have accepted it wholeheartedly. When I watched the first show with my director and walked out, I feared I would be hated by all, but the exact opposite happened. I’m glad they all liked it,” he said. The film, which is partly based on Tamil novel Lock Up, deals with police brutality. It stars Dinesh, Murugadoss, Samuthirakani and Kishore in important roles. Ajay admits he was teary-eyed in the interrogation scenes. “I was in tears when I had to beat up Dinesh black and blue. Although we used dummy batons, the force with which it was used made me so uncomfortable. But we had to continue shooting, because these were crucial scenes of the film,” Ajay Ghose said.

Spine-chilling take on abuse of power Film: “Visaaranai”; Cast: Dinesh, Murugadoss, Samuthirakani, Ajay Ghosh, Kishore and Anandi; Director: Vetrimaaran; Rating: ****1/2

ational Award-winning filmmaker Vetrimaaran’s Visaaranai reminded me of a couple of words - system and power - from Ram Gopal Varma’s (RGV) films. System, in RGV’s language, is someone or an establishment with the power to do anything. In Visaaranai, men in khaki are bestowed upon with power, which in turn makes them the system and nobody, from the most influential person to a daily wage worker, can escape from its clutches. And within the system, the power ranges from the high-ranking offi-

cial to the lowest in the hierarchy. An inspector can’t question his superior when asked to do something and there’s no right or wrong in the way it’s done. Visaaranai, partly based on Tamil novel called Lock Up, is an honest, spine-chilling take on these “powerful” men and how they abuse power to get their job done.

With exceptionally great performances from the ensemble cast, especially from Dinesh and Samuthirakani, Visaaranai is absorbing, gut-wrenching and leaves you with a lump in your throat. The film hits you like a ton of bricks, right in the gut, and will haunt one for several days. —Haricharan Pudipeddi

‘Great demand for dubbed Eng films in India’

Films such as “Furious 7” and “Avatar” have done exceptional business in the Tamil and Telugu versions IANS, CHENNAI

here is an incredible demand for dubbed entertainment content in the country, says Sashi Kumar and his team of writers who have lent the magic of words to the Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions of Ryan Reynolds-starrer “Deadpool”. Sashi represents Sound and Vision India, the country’s biggest

film dubbing company. “The demand for dubbed English films in the regional market is amazing. Films that get dubbed in Tamil and Telugu have resulted in exceptional increase in numbers for studios from markets they never anticipated can yield such returns,” Sashi, who supervises dubbing of films into Tamil and Telugu, told IANS. The idea of localizing Hollywood content has clicked with the

masses, says Mona Shetty, president, Sound and Vision India. “Hollywood films are made for a different set of audience. The only way it can relate to the masses here is when it is localized in terms of language,” said Mona. Citing some examples, Shetty said films such as “Furious 7”, “Jurassic Park” and “Avatar” have

Govinda gets two weeks to apologize in slapping incident IANS, NEW DELHI

he Supreme Court on February 9 gave film star Govinda two weeks’ time to meet Santosh Bateshwar Ray to tender an apology and settle the dispute over an alleged 2009 slapping incident. Govinda’s lawyer Sangeeta Kumar told a bench of Justice V. Gopala Gowda and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit that the cine star would meet Ray to settle the dispute outside the court as desired by the court. As the bench told her that her client should settle the issue outside the court, she undertook that he would act as desired by the court. The court then adjourned the

matter by two weeks. It had on November 30, 2015, asked Govinda to settle the dispute with Ray with an apology. The court gave Govinda two week’s time as counsel Jatin Zaveri

appearing for Ray told it that the actor has not complied with the November 30 order, and said that he be given two weeks’ time to comply, failing which the court should hear and decide the matter on its merits. During the November 30 hearing, the court had told Govinda: “You are a big hero, show your big heart (and apologize and settle the matter).” The court again asked Govinda to settle the matter out of the court in the course of the hearing of a petition by Ray who had challenged the Bombay High Court order quashing his complaint holding that there was no material supporting his allegation of criminal intimidation by the veteran star.

Indian, Pakistani filmmakers attempt to bridge divide NEW DELHI: In the midst of political controversies between India and Pakistan, six Indian directors including Aparna Sen, Tanuja Chandra and Ketan Mehta and six Pakistani directors of the likes of Mehreen Jabbar, Sabiha Sumar and Meenu Farjad are coming together on a common platform for an apolitical exchange to mark the onset of the 70th year of the country’s Partition. After the launch of Zindagi channel which brought Pakistan’s TV content

closer to Indians in 2014, Zeal For Unity (ZFU) is the second initiative by Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEEL) to use the strength of creative thought leadership from both the countries to bridge the divide between the two. “This initiative is keeping in line with our proposition ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ which means ‘The World is My Family’. It’s an initiative to bring people together, and one of the best ways to reach people is through

cultural similarities,” Punit Goenka, managing director and CEO, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., told IANS. From Pakistan, the six directors who have made the films are Mehreen Jabbar, Sabiha Sumar, Khalid Ahmed, Shahbaz Sumar, Siraj Ul Haq and Meenu Farjad. And from India, there are Aparna Sen, Tanuja Chandra, Ketan Mehta, Nikhil Advani, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Bejoy Nambiar.

done exceptional business in the Tamil and Telugu versions. “It is very challenging. Films that are dubbed usually appeal to the audience in B and C centers. One needs to know the pulse of such people, understand what they like and what kind of jokes they enjoy,” he said. Sashi said dubbing doesn’t mean

literal translation of dialogues. “The dubbing process involves one to be very subtle. The jokes that worked in English won’t work in Tamil when merely translated. It only works when you get creative, when you bring some local flavor, improvise while dubbing so that the quirky lines from the original work,” he said.

‘Ghayal Once Again’: High-octane action

superhero action film, “Ghayal Once Again” is a sequel to the 1990 released “Ghayal”. This edition takes off from where its last franchise left off. Snippets of the previous edition used generously as flashbacks in this narration, give the film a strong sense of belonging. The film belongs to Sunny Deol all the way. It portrays him in a larger than life character. Ajay Mehra (Sunny Deol) was earlier accused of killing a corrupt business man, Balwantrai. After serving his jail term, he is now an investigating journalist who coowns a news channel called Satyakam. Though he suffers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), he is a dreaded man as he goes out of his way to personally clear out all the maladies that prevail in the system, especially corruption.

Film: “Ghayal Once Again”; Director: Sunny Deol; Cast: Sunny Deol, Soha Ali Khan, Om Puri and Tisca Chopra; Rating: *** The film starts off on a tacky note trying to establish the setting of the story and the characters. As the tale progresses, the film finds its focus when four college students stumble upon a murder. And then, the narrative picks up momentum and gallantly strides into the action arena. As a debut writer-director, Sunny Deol is subtle yet blatant. He takes potshots not only at the system but also cleverly insinuates the powerfully rich members of the city. With a plethora of well-etched characters, up-to-date subplots, he delivers a fairly comprehensive tale with moralistic and inspirational messages.

Kailasa’s music not entertaining, but enlightening: Kailash W hile the definition of sufi music is getting blurred in these modern times, especially when bands are trying to add different elements to the devotional style, Kailash Kher’s band Kailasa still treads the path where fusion and devotion are juxtaposed with sincerity. The singer says the aim of their music is not just to entertain, but also to enlighten the masses. “Kailasa’s music is not just entertainment, but it is very enlightening also. The music doesn’t entertain, but creates an awakening in the listener. It opens the mind, gives a vision and at the same time, gives fun to the listener,” Kailash told IANS on the sidelines of the SulaFest here. The band has played live across the globe, thus spreading sound and vision on grand scale.

Have a fear of giving up: Arjun Kapoor

ctor Arjun Kapoor, whose last few films including “Tevar” didn’t create any fireworks at the box-office, says he is not fond of giving up. He shared that his “constant fear” is that whatever he is attempting, he doesn’t want to give up on that. “I have a fear of giving up. I never want to give up. You win or you lose... I don’t ever want to wake up with a thought that I want to give up or I can’t do this anymore. Whatever is that I am attempting, I really don’t want to give up on that. This is my constant fear,” Arjun told IANS.

Salman Khan in new look for ‘Sultan’

uperstar Salman Khan, who is prepping for his upcoming film “Sultan”, looks clean-shaven yet rugged in the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial. The film’s first look saw the “Dabangg” star flaunt his fit physique and moustachioed get-up. The latest look shared by the actor shows him in a completely different light. In the image, the actor’s look has a subtle ruggedness to it. His eyes look very intense and focussed for his role as a wrestler in the film. And while he sports a clean-shaven look, his face is smeared with mud and blood.

When I was about 16, then I think I started making friends and started getting more popular,” Katrina said on chat show “Yaar Mera Superstar”. While she has been in the limelight for her rumored relationships with actors like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina said that if she has to date a person, one thing she would notice would be his persona and the vibe around him.

BY A STAFF WRITER UEENS, NY -- Mohammad Rana, who works at The Islamic Center of Jackson Heights, was arrested for molesting a 9-year-old student while he taught class. The 46-year-old religious instructor at the Queens mosque has been arrested on charges of molesting the girl. Rana was charged with sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a girl for groping her at the Masjid Abu Huraira Mosque on 31st Ave. “You are a good girl,” he would allegedly say as he grabbed the girl’s breasts and buttocks. The incidents sometimes took place as he taught class in front of

other children, according to court records. The girl reported the abuse after watching a “good touch/bad touch” puppet show during a workshop at her public school on February 3. The girl recounted what happened to a workshop instructor, said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. He said Rana used his position “to prey on a young student.” The police said the girl attended Rana’s class four days a week at the center. The gropings began in September 2015 and continued through February 3, authorities said. The girl told the police that she had first told her mother about the abuse, but her mother didn’t want to involve the police until she spoke to her imam first.

Dr Ambati’s lab finds antibodies’ new role

Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati

BY A STAFF WRITER E X I N G TO N , K Y - - T h e laboratory of Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, and an international team of researchers from Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, France, The Netherlands, Australia, Sweden and Czech Republic, recently discovered a previously unrecognized function for antibodies. The discovery was detailed in two articles earlier this month in the inaugural issue of Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, a journal of the Nature Publishing Group. The immune system produces antibodies to recognize and bind to specific features found on pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. This results in destruction of the pathogen by white blood cells that recognize the antibody. Antibodies are generally thought to only protect the body from infectious disease. However, the international consortium led by Dr Ambati found that the most abundant class of antibodies, known as IgG1s, also generically block blood vessel growth, an unexpected finding with farreaching implications, according to a press release.

Khan profusely thanked all the dignitaries and donors, particularly the owners of Monty’s Banquet--Dr. Syed Qadri and Brother Aftab. The consensus message of the event was that all South Asians should evolve a united front to help out their

community’s candidates and ensure their victory. “There might be 100,000 Asian American voters only in DuPage County, majority of them are of South Asian descent,” noted Khan. “If we work transcending the boundary of native origin, former regional pride, latent prejudices, we can emerge as a formidable vote bank, considering the ownership of small businesses like gas stations, fast food franchises, and convenient stores.” The event was moderated by Jassi Parmar, Alex Franklin, and Ali Khan. Khaja Moinuddin managed the event. Singers that rendered their sonorous melody services included Padma Mehta, Mona Bhalla, Mahijit Singh Virdi, Syed Shahid Lateef, and Sirajuddin.

FIA ‘outstanding leader’ award for Ravi Harsoor

HICAGO, IL--- It was a moment of pride to for the Indian diaspora to gather at an event arranged for Indian national festivals. The Republic Day is one among these occasions and is a remarkable day for each Indian who lives far away from motherland when it comes to patriotism. And recognizing the community leaders who have contributed to the betterment of the community at this moment adds more value to such events. On the eve of 67th Republic day, Chicago’s Shalimar banquet award ceremony was held by FIA to felicitate Ravi Harsoor who serves quietly and effectively. Harsoor, who has business interests in medical, auto, petroleum, BPO and real estate, is a staunch follower of the Chinmaya Mission and its principle of “producing more than what you consume and giving more than what you take” He received the award from Consul

BY A STAFF WRITER ANTA FE, NM– The Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe (New Mexico, US) will showcase Lord Brahma (Erawan) Shrine in its upcoming “Sacred Realm” exhibition, which runs from February 28 through March 19. “Sacred Realm” shows the dynamic ways people communicate their ideas of the supernatural, divine, or sacred world. The exhibit reflects wide-ranging practices of belief that, at the same time, depict the common human desire to attain balance and harmony in the physical and spiritual realms of life, a release says. Commending the Museum for showcasing Lord Brahma and other Hindu artefacts, distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has in a statement in Nevada said that art had a long and rich tradition in Hinduism and ancient Sanskrit literature talked about religious paintings of deities on wood or cloth. Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged major art museums of the world to frequently organize Hindu art focused exhibitions, thus sharing the rich Hindu art heritage with the rest of the world. Founded in 1953, this Museum, whose Mission includes to “shape a humane world”, claims to hold the world’s largest international folk art collection of over 150,000 objects from world over.

program in basic medical science and the College of Engineering. “The ultimate goal of this merger was to develop a synergistic educational environment that promoted collaboration between the various disciplines,” College

of Medicine dean Dr. Samuel J. Strada said in a statement. The biomedical engineering track was launched six years ago. “Naga and Emily are both very qualified and promising doctoral students working on highly interdisciplinary biomedical engineering projects,” said Dr. Silas Leavesley, who teaches in the program. The research — half engineering; half biological science — helps provide more insight towards biological approaches. The Indian American student received a B.Tech degree in India and a master’s in the US in chemical engineering.

AACC celebrates Lunar New Year

HICAGO, IL -- The Asian American Coalition of Chicago (AACC) celebrated its 33rd annual Lunar New Year, the Year of the Monkey, at Hyatt Regency Chicago on February 5 with the theme “Envision. Enlighten. Empower.” The dinner banquet this year was hosted by the Chinese American community of Chicago, chaired by Dr. Karen Eng President and CEO of CSMI. An extravagant Asian-inspired dinner menu along with an award ceremony to honor community leaders and outstanding youths and a captivating Asian cultural performances of local talent entertained the guests. The celebrations brought together more than a 1,000 guests, including Asian American community leaders, dignitaries, elected officials, corporate sponsors and the City’s movers and shakers. The AACC Lunar New Year Gala is the largest event of its kind in the Midwest. Present on the occasion were many Federal, State and local government officials, including Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, Secretary of State Jesse White, State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, Comptroller Leslie Munger, US Senator Dick Durbin and

BY A STAFF WRITER PRINGFIELD, IL -- Illinois motorists will have to remember when their vehicles need to pass an emissions test or be renewed, because the state says it won’t provide mailed notifications. T h e Il l i n o i s En v i ro n m e n t a l Protection Agency (EPA) and the Illinois Secretary of State’s office have announced the temporary policy changes. The EPA said in a news release that it was forced to suspend mailing of vehicle emissions test notices, starting with license plates that expire at the end of March, because of the lack of a state budget. As a result, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White will temporarily allow license plate renewals for vehicle owners who haven’t taken the emissions test, citing an unfair burden to the state’s residents. Those owners will be told they still have to get their vehicle tested. White’s office said in September that it would stop mailing vehicle registration renewal reminders because of the budget standoff. The move was estimated to save $450,000 a month and intended to allow

S US Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth. This year, AACC’s most prestigious Pan Asian American Ping Tom Memorial Award was presented to Ms. Tuyet Le, the long-time Executive Director of the Asian American Advancing Justice of Chicago for her leadership in the advocacy work on behalf of the Asian American community. The equally important recognition, the Grand Asian American Sandra Otaka Memorial Award was given to Illinois Senior

Senator Dick Durbin for his tireless legislative advocacy on behalf of all new Americans and immigrant communities. A Moment of Silence for Veterans was observed. The AACC is represented by more than 16 Asian American cultures including Bangladeshi, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Malaysian, Nepalese, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Thailand, and Vietnamese communities.

Where meeting starts with Hindu ‘mantras’ BY A STAFF WRITER PA R K S C I T Y, N V – T h e Sparks City Council in Nevada, incorporated in 1905, started its meeting on February 8 with ancient Gayatri Mantra, considered the most sacred mantra of Hinduism. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed opened this council meeting with an invocation which began with Gayatri Mantra in Sanskrit, which he later translated into English. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of IndoEuropean languages. Zed, who is president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, recited from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He started and ended the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work. Councilmembers, city employees and public were seen standing in prayer mode with their heads bowed down

Cab driver beaten, robbed in Bronx

Ataur Rahman

BY A STAFF WRITER RONX, (NY -- Ataur Rahman, a cab driver in the Bronx, was severely beaten and robbed while on the job last week. Eyewitnesses said several of Rahman’s teeth were broken, and his face was severely cut when he was attacked with a bottle on the night of February 6. Rahman was also robbed of more than a thousand dollars cash, and his jacket. The police arrested 16-years-old Rondell Mines the next day and charged him for the robbery. The second suspect is on the run. Rahman, who has been driving livery cab for two years, was admitted with serious injuries in New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He suffered a fractured jaw and needed 12 stitches on his lips, and relatives say he lost at least 10 teeth. The incident happened at the intersection of East 172nd Street and St. Lawrence Avenue just before midnight. The driver had dropped off his fare about a half a block away when he realized his back door was left open, apparently deliberately. When he got out to shut the door, he was assaulted by the two men who hit him in the face with what the police believe was a champagne bottle. “He is very scared right now,” said son Limon Mahmdur, adding that his father is in danger right now, and in a critical situation.

during the invocation. Mayor Geno R. Martini introduced and thanked Zed, who was wearing saffron attire, a ruddraksh mala (rosary), and traditional sandalpaste tilak (religious mark) on the forehead. Hinduism, the oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are

about three million Hindus in the US. Sparks, whose city slogan is “It’s Happening Here”, is a custom-made town, tailored ordered by the Southern Pacific Railway Company. Steve Driscoll is the City Manager. Notable people associated with Sparks include: actress Jena Malone, political pundit Karl Rove, swimmer Brian Retterer, and cartoonist Brian Crane.

Hand grenade found in San Francisco home

AN FRANCISO, CA -- A potentiallyexplosive grenade was discovered in the garden of a home in San Francisco’s Cole Valley neighborhood in the morning of February 7. A landscaper dug up a surprise when he unearthed a grenade while working in the garden of a house being prepped for sale, authorities said. Around 11:15 am, the police responded to the 100 block of Carl Street, near Cole Street, after the landscaper reported he had found the potentially-explosive device, said a police spokesman. The bomb squad responded and rendered the grenade safe.

HSS Yogathon takes enthusiasts by storm BY A STAFF WRITER OUTH PLAINVIELD, NJ -Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA, Inc. (HSS) concluded its tenth Annual Health for Humanity Yogathon on January 31. During the two-week Yogathon, over 10,000 participants from about 200 locations across the US participated in the yoga routine known as the Sun Salutation, or Surya Namaskara. HSS, which had launched the Yogathon as an annual event in 2007 to create awareness about yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body, mind, and spirit, conducts the Yogathon, or Surya Namaskara Yajna, at this time of year to coincide with the traditional Makar Sankranti festival which falls on January 14. Over 35 elected officials including Mayors, Congressmen, Senators and State

Governors acknowledged the Yogathon by proclaiming within their jurisdiction and by encouraging their constituents to participate in it. Several HSS centers across the nation conducted special yogathon event from six hours to 24 hours. A six-hour marathon session was held in South Plainfield, NJ where hundreds of volunteers participated and together performed close to 5,000

Surya Namaskars. Several other public events took place nationwide involving universities, businesses, yoga studios, temples, and cultural and community organizations. National coordinator for Yogathon Dhananjay Singh and Vinod Sastry, said that the Yogathon had helped general public to gain knowledge of Yoga and simple techniques to practice.

Insulted Sikh not to emplane for home

BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK, NY-- Waris Ahluwalia stopped resisting rigorous airport security checks a long time ago. The well-known Sikh American designer and actor says he’s grown accustomed to multiple bag searches, invasive pat-downs and incessant swabbing. After passing through two comprehensive screenings before his Aeromexico flight from Mexico City to New York City on February 8, he thought he was ready to board his plane. But security personnel thought otherwise. “The security person said, ‘Now, will you take off your turban?’” Ahluwalia told . “I said, ‘I won’t be taking off my turban here.’ “A group of Aeromexico employees spoke among themselves in Spanish and then one guy came back to me wearing an orange vest over a suit and said, ‘You will not be flying Aeromexico and you will need to

Actor Waris Ahluwalia

book a flight on another airline.” But hours later, the airline offered him another ticket and said he would not have to remove his turban. But now the Sikh refuses to fly home and was staying put at the airport

The 41-year-old even turned to social media, where he used his predicament to raise awareness about discriminatory airport screenings. “My turban and beard represent my commitment to equality and justice,” Ahluwalia said in a statement distributed by the Sikh Coalition, a nonprofit advocacy group that works on behalf of followers of the monotheistic faith, which originated in South Asia in the 15th century. In the US, according to the Sikh Coalition, security agents are allowed to pat down or swab a passenger’s turban with permission. Failing that, they can ask a passenger to step into a private area for a secondary screening. Ahluwalia said airports all over the world followed similar rules, but employees working at Aeromexico’s gate hadn’t been trained to screen Sikh passengers. He’s now refusing to fly another, “more inclusive” airline till the three demands--noted in a Sikh Coalition tweet-are met.

Milton school student earns top ACT score

Rupal Khaitan

BY A STAFF WRITER TLANTA, GA -- Rupal Khaitan, daughter of Radha and Sanjay Khaitan and a senior at Milton High School, earned the highest possible ACT Composite score of 36. Nationally, while the actual number of students earning the top score varies from year to year, on an average, less than onetenth of 1% of students who take the ACT earn the top score. Among test takers in the high school graduating class of 2015, only 1,598 of 1.92 million students earned an ACT Composite score of 36. The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores. Some students also take the optional ACT writing test, but the score for that test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT Composite score. In a letter from the ACT chief executive officer recognizing this exceptional achievement, the CEO stated, “Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare. While test scores are just one of multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT Composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals.” ACT test scores are accepted by all major US colleges. Exceptional scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of student readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.

This chip uses light for communication

Rajeev Ram BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK, NY -- Engineers, one of them an Indian American, have successfully developed a singlechip microprocessor--a landmark development that opens the door to ultrafast, low-power data crunching. The researchers packed two processor cores with more than 70 million transistors and 850 photonic components onto a 3-by-6 millimeter chip. They fabricated the microprocessor in a foundry that mass-produces high-performance computer chips, proving that their design can be easily and quickly scaled up for commercial production. The new chip marks the next step in the evolution of fiber-optic communication technology by integrating into a microprocessor the photonic interconnects, or inputs and outputs, needed to talk to other chips.

“This is a milestone. It’s the first processor that can use light to communicate with the external world,” said Vladimir Stojanovic, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at U.C. Berkeley. No other processor has the photonic I/O in the chip. Stojanovic and fellow U.C. Berkeley professor Krste Asanovic teamed up with Rajeev Ram at MIT and Milos Popovi at the University of Colorado to develop the new microprocessor. “This is the first time we’ve put a system together at such scale, and have it actually do something useful, like run a program,” added Asanovic. The team found the chip had a bandwidth density of 300 gigabits per second per square millimeter, about 10 to 50 times greater than packaged electrical-only microprocessors currently on the market. The photonic I/O on the chip is also energy-efficient. The achievement opens the door to a new era of bandwidth-hungry applications. One near-term application for this technology is to make data centers more green. According to the US Natural Resources Defense Council, data centers consumed about 91 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2013--about 2 per cent of the total electricity consumed in the U.S. The paper was published in the journal Nature.

Karimi, ADI’s onetime president and coowner, was arrested December 26 in Mumbai, India, as he was boarding a plane to Mexico. He was later released on bail of 15,000 rupees, or around $225. In the US, he has been charged with felony counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, tax evasion and making false statements to a federal financial institution.

Tax laws force many to give up citizenship BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON , DC -- A record number of Americans have renounced their citizenship and Green Card holders relinquished their permanent residency, for the third year in a row because of likely stringent tax policies, according to data released by the US Treasury Department. Last year, a record-breaking 4,279 individuals, all either US citizens or Green Card holders gave up their right to live long-term in the country. In 2014, the figure was 3,415. The list of individuals deciding to expatriate is published on a quarterly basis by the Internal Revenue Service. The latest one contains the names of 1,058 US citizens and permanent residents that gave up their passports in the period from September to December. The underlying cause behind the massive increase in renunciations is believed to be the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which came into force in 2010. According to Andrew Mitchel, an international lawyer who analyzes IRS data, the law imposes harsh penalties for noncompliance, even if people aren’t dodging it on purpose, “An increasing number of Americans appear to believe that having a US passport or longterm residency isn’t worth the hassle and cost of complying with US tax laws,” he said. The US government now requires most international banks to unveil any information concerning US citizens’ accounts abroad. More than 180,000 banks have complied with the government’s demands. The encroachment on foreign banks prompted many of them to scrap business with Americans living abroad, causing some US citizens overseas to give up their passports. Since the law has come into effect, US authorities have collected $13.5 billion from foreign banking institutions and Americans in taxes and penalties. The US is the only nation within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that subjects its citizens to taxes irrespective of their place of residence.
