‘Angry Indian Goddesses’ wins award at Rome Film Festival MUMBAI: Pan Nalin’s film Angry Indian Goddesses bagged an Audience Choice Award at the Rome Film Festival. The filmmaker is elated about the win.

The honor, titled BNL People’s Choice Award, is bestowed on a movie which the viewing audience chooses as the best amongst the lot.

“Many will agree that best awards in the world are People’s Choice Awards; so here the people of Rome and Italy have voted after filling edge-to-edge five full house shows. What we started in a little village of Goa has gone global beyond all our goals,” Nalin said in a statement.

The director, whose film also got an eight-minute-long standing ovation at the festival, is thrilled for his film’s cast and crew.

“Above all it’s a great sign of inspiration that the international ‘janta’ (public) is connecting to stories of celebration of Indian womanhood,” he added.

“Angry Indian Goddesses” follows the stories of seven girls. It narrates the tale of how Frieda,

essayed by actress Sarah-Jane Dias, invites her closest girlfriends to Goa to announce her wedding, and it all turns into a wild bachelorette party.

“In less than one month of its world premiere at Toronto, ‘Angry Indian Goddesses’ has made sales across the globe and will be released theatrically in more than 50 countries. The positivity surrounding the movie has added to the thrill of releasing the film pan India,” said Gaurav Dhingra, the film’s producer.

andeep Hooda, who essayed Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma with arresting arrogance in Rang Rasiya, will soon be seen as the real-life notorious serial killer Charles Sobhraj in Main Aur Charles.

Known for his straightforward nature, Randeep, when he was asked if Main Aur Charles glorifies crime, said, “We have not glorified crime in the film. I don’t think the

youth take up the wrong path after watching movies. No one turned Ram after watching Ramayan. So how come any one will turn into Charles after watching the film? The film is for entertainment...”

‘Shaandaar’: Avant-garde gone awry? Looks like Film: Shaandaar; Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sanah Kapoor, Sushma Seth, Pankaj Kapur, Niki Aneja Walia, Sanjay Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh; Director: Vikas Bahl; Rating: **

by Vipin. Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor) is the wedding planner who arrives to ensure the smooth execution of this big-fat-Sindhi wedding. Predictably so, he falls in love with the orphan Alia.

Isha, Vipin’s daughter, is the sacrificial goat in the family and is being betrothed to Robin (Diljit Dosanjh), brother of a rich Sindhi businessman Harry Fandwani (Sanjay Kapoor).

If the plot and premise of the film seem promising, it is the execution of the tale that is flawed and is the film’s undoing. Mounted on a lavish scale, the essence of the simple and somewhat sweet messages are lost, in the quagmire of cinematic gimmicks.

MUMBAI: Veteran Subhash Sehgal’s romcom “Yaara Silly Silly” is releasing next month and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film to its fullest, with the second trailer of the film which begins with some very bold dialogues released on Monday.

reated like a fantasy film with a backdrop of an ostentatious Indian wedding, Vikas Bahl’s Shaandaar is actually the story of a father-daughter bonding. With a love story being an essential ingredient for a commercial Hindi film, that too, is thrown in for good measure.

‘India has 75-125 N-weapons’

India has a substantial stock of nuclear weapons made from weapon-grade plutonium, and some thermonuclear weapons that rely on both plutonium and uranium, a report said.

ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

S

uggesting that India has a sizable nuclear weapons effort, a US think tank estimated India’s nuclear arsenal at around 75-125 weapons made from weapon-grade plutonium and perhaps some thermonuclear weapons.

“India has a substantial stock of nuclear weapons made from weapon-grade plutonium, and perhaps some thermonuclear weapons that rely on both weapon-grade plutonium and weapon-grade uranium," according to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS).

“An estimate of India’s nuclear arsenal can be derived by considering its weapon-grade plutonium stock," it said. “The resulting estimate has a median of 138 nuclear weapons equivalent with a range of 110 to 175 weapons equivalent."

However, the actual number of

Disney told to rehire workers replaced by Indians

WASHINGTON: Leading Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has asked Disney to hire back every one of the workers they replaced with cheaper foreign IT workers on H-1 B visas largely from India.

“If I am President, I will not issue any H-1B visas to companies that replace American workers and my Department of Justice will pursue action against them," he told Breitbart News when asked about reports that about 250 Disney workers were forced to train their foreign replacements.

Trump said lobbyists write the rules to benefit rich and accused rival Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio of being in the pay of Silicon Valley CEOs. “They buy off Senators like Senator Marco Rubio to help them get rich at the expense of working Americans by using H-1B visas-so called “high tech” visas-to replace American workers in all sorts of solid middle class jobs."

nuclear weapons India built from its stocks of weapon-grade plutonium must be less, ISIS said.

“When accounting for the amount of plutonium in the weapons production pipelines and in reserves, it is reasonable to assume

that only about 70 percent of the estimated stock of weapon-grade uranium is in N-weapons," it said.

“Thus, the predicted number of weapons made from its weapongrade plutonium at the end of 2014 is about 97 with a range of 77-123,"

ISIS said. “These values are rounded to 100 nuclear weapons with a range of 75-125 nuclear weapons."

The think tank also noted that India has one of the largest nuclear power programs among developing nations. Utilizing plutonium pro-

duced in these power reactors and discharged in irradiated or spent fuel, India has developed a relatively large civil plutonium separation program and an associated fast breeder reactor program that is using that separated plutonium, the report said.

For its “sizable nuclear weapons effort", ISIS said, India uses “separated plutonium produced primarily in a set of small, dedicated reactors and a smaller amount produced in nuclear power reactors."

“It has a growing gas centrifuge program able to produce significant amounts of highly enriched uranium (HEU) mostly for naval reactor fuel and perhaps for nuclear weapons, including thermonuclear weapons," it said.

Despite many obstacles, India has managed over several decades to put in place a relatively large nuclear weapons production complex, the report said.

Republican debate: Trump, Rubio clash on H-1B visas ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

A

clash between real estate mogul Donald Trump and Florida senator Mark Rubio over H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers coveted by Indian techies marked the third Republican presidential debate among top 10 candidates.

In October 28 night’s main event, Trump was asked about an assertion made on his website that Rubio, who is described as Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg’s personal senator, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.

Asked if he was in favor of H1Bs or if he was opposed to them,

Trump, who according to the latest CBS/New York Times poll has lost his frontrunner status to neurosurgeon Ben Carson, said: “I’m in favor of people coming into this

country legally."

“And you know what? They can have it anyway you want. You can call it visas, you can call it work permits, you can call it anything

you want," he said.

“I have created tens of thousands of jobs, and I’ll be creating many millions of jobs if I’m given the opportunity to be president."

“As far as Mark is concerned, as far as the visas are concerned, if we need people, they have -- it’s fine."

“They have to come into this country legally. We have a country of borders. We have a country of laws. We have to obey the laws.

It’s fine if they come in, but they have to come in legally," Trump added.

“Look, in addition to what Donald was saying is we also need to talk about the legal immigration system for permanent residents," said Rubio.

Jindal wants poor to pay taxes Obama lauds US soccer’s Indian-American chief ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

D

eriding Democrats as socialists and fellow Republicans in Washington as weak and too quick to surrender, IndianAmerican presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal has proposed making everyone — including the poor — pay federal income taxes.

This was the best way to rein in government spending, he said participating in Oct 28 night’s undercard CNBC Republican Presiden-

tial Debate at Colorado University in Boulder, Colorado.

“I want every American to worry and care about how those folks in DC are spending our money," Jindal said. “Socialism is bad. Not only for taxpayers, but for the people they’re trying to help. There’s dignity in work. There’s dignity in self-sufficiency."

“We are going the way of Europe," he said at one point.

“The left is trying to change the American dream into the European nightmare."

S President Barack Obama singled out US Soccer Federation’s (USSF) Indian-American President Sunil Gulati as he welcomed the US women’s World Cup-winning champions into the White House.

“I want to recognize a lot of people who made these incredibly talented women-put them in a position to be able to showcase

their talent so effectively," he said on October 27 welcoming the team that overcame Japan 5-2 in a thrilling Canada 2015 Final in July “First of all, US Soccer President Sunil Gulati. Please give him a big round of applause," said Obama amid applause.

SRK like Hafiz Saeed: BJP MP

If Hindus stopped seeing Shah Rukh Khan’s movies, ‘he will be on the streets like an ordinary Muslim’, says BJP lawmaker Yogi Adityanath IANS, LUCKNOW

Ghulam Ali cancels all concerts

A

s the country witnesses a growing intolerance, BJP lawmaker Yogi Adityanath has stirred another controversy, comparing Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan with Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed after the actor said there was growing intolerance in India.

The hardline BJP leader said in Gorakhpur that both Shah Rukh Khan and Saeed — the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack — speak the same language.

“There is no difference in the language Shah Rukh Khan and Saeed speak,” said Adityanath, who heads the Gorakhpur mutt in eastern Uttar Pradesh and is known for his radical views on issues related to Hinduism.

Adityanath said if Hindus stopped seeing Shah Rukh Khan’s movies, “he will be on the streets like an ordinary Muslim”.

The MP’s comment came a day after a BJP leader, Kailash Vijayvargiya, called Shah Rukh -- as the actor is widely known and who turned 50 on Monday -- a “deshdrohi” (traitor).

Vijayvargiya said that his comment had been “misconstrued”.

Another Hindutva proponent, Sadhvi Prachi, dubbed the actor a

“Pakistani agent”.

Shah Rukh Khan had said earlier that there “is intolerance (in India), there is extreme intolerance ... there is growing intolerance”.

Adityanath said “so-called writers and artistes” had taken an antiIndia stand by returning their national awards over alleged growing intolerance, and that Shah Rukh Khan had now added his voice to this group. He said while

Maggi set for comeback this month, says Nestle IANS, NEW DELHI

N

estle India has said the “masala” version of Maggi noodles will hit the retail shelves as early as this month, having cleared all the tests ordered by the Bombay High Court at three accredited laboratories.

“We have received the results from all the three NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing Calibration Laboratories) mandated by the Bombay High Court to test newly-manufactured Maggi noodles samples,” the company said in a regulatory filing with stock exchanges.

“All the samples of the Maggi noodles masala have been cleared with lead much below permissible limits,” the statement said, adding that this has validated their stand, maintained all along, that the noodles were and continue to be safe.

“We will make our best effort to commence the sale of Maggi noodles masala within this month

as well as continue engaging with the states where permissions are needed or specific directions may be necessary.”

What now remains to be resolved is the class action suit of Rs.6.40 billion filed by the government against Nestle India in the apex consumer court. The verdict on this is expected on November 23.

In mid-October, Nestle India had said that all samples of Maggi noodles of the batches that were in question had passed the required tests as directed by the Bombay High Court, but added that it will be re-launched only after the newly-manufactured product also pass the tests.

he was all for a free debate on issues, no one had a right to hurt India’s international image. Those who did deserved to be boycotted, the saffron-robed MP said.

When he was told that Hafiz Saeed had invited Indians to come to Pakistan if they found intolerance in India difficult to cope with, Adityanath said: “They can go (to Pakistan). We also want them to go.” Adityanath has been repre-

BJP may lose Bihar: Exit polls NEW DELHI: The Grand Alliance led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will emerge on top in the assembly elections winning 112132 seats, a Times Now-CVoter exit poll said on November 5.

It said the BJP and its allies will secure 101 to 121 seats in the 243-member assembly. Other parties will win between 6 and 14 seats. In all probability, the Grand Alliance would end up with 122 seats -- just about touching the half-way mark -- and the BJP-led alliance 111 seats. The remaining 10 seats will go to other parties.

An India Today-Cicero exit poll on November 5 has predicted a hung assembly in Bihar, with the BJP-led coalition winning 120 seats to the 117 by the Grand Alliance.

Any party or combine would need 122 seats to secure a simple majority in the 243-member assembly. It gave the BJP alliance a range of 113 to 127 seats and the Grand Alliance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar 111 to 123 seats.

Four to eight seats could go to other parties.

NEW DELHI: Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali, whose concert in Mumbai was called off after resistance from the Shiv Sena, canceled all his scheduled performances in the country, saying that he won’t return to India until “things settle down”.

Ghulam Ali expressed his disappointment over recent incidents, but asserted that Indian fans have always welcomed him and his music with open arms.

He told an Indian news channel that he will “not perform until things settle down” and that he was hurt by the politics being played over his concerts “I’m a singer, I will talk about music, not politics,” he said.

All his scheduled concerts, including the one in Delhi on•November 8, and another in Lucknow, have been scrapped.

senting Gorakhpur in the Lok Sabha for the BJP since 1998. Also head of the Hindu Yuva Vahini group, he has sparked many controversies with his hardline comments. In June this year, he declared that those who oppose yoga can leave India.

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, president of Indian Films & Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA), welcomed Ghulam Ali’s decision.

“I welcome Ghulam Ali’s decision of not coming to India. Hope others will follow him. Now all those who want to listen to the concerts of Ghulam Ali can visit Pakistan,” he tweeted.

Adityanath’s comments drew criticism from both the Shiv Sena and veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher. Shiv Sena spokesman Sanjay Raut said: “Shah Rukh must not be targeted for being a Muslim. He has the same rights as we do.”

24 writers, filmmakers return National Awards IANS, MUMBAI

I

n a collective move to draw the government's attention to their fears that the country's "robust democracy might be coming apart", 24 filmmakers and writers, including Arundhati Roy, Saeed Mirza and Kundan Shah, returned their national awards.

"We return our national awards and hope that this symbolic gesture urges you to pay attention to our fears, that the warp and weft of our robust democracy might be coming apart in the current atmosphere," read a statement from the celebrated names.

The other 21 people include Virendra Saini, Ranjan Palit, Tapan Bose, Shriprakash, Sanjay Kak, Pradip Krishan, Tarun Bhartiya, Amitabh Chakraborty, Madhusree Dutta, Anwar Jamal, Ajay Raina, Irene Dhar Malik, P.M. Satheesh, Satya Rai Nagpaul, Manoj Lobo, Rafiq Ellias, Sudheer Palsane, Vivek Sachidanand, Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, Manoj Nitharwal and Abhimanyu Dange.

Arundhati Roy

These were also among the 190 signatories who wrote to the government to pay heed to the "reasonable" demands of the FTII students, who ended their strike after a "protracted struggle of four months".

In an article published in the Indian Express, "The God of Small Things" author Arundhati Roy said she was returning her 1989 National Award for Best Screenplay to protest "ideological viciousness" in the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi with leaders of African nations at a group photo gathering during the third India Africa Forum Summit (IAFS) held in New Delhi between Oct 26-29.

India, Africa can build sustainable future Climate change, which has become a global challenge, is one area where developing countries can join hands and approach global goals with local actions DALJEET KAUR, NEW DELHI

I

ndia and Africa are crucial players in meeting the 169 global targets set out under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this is warranted by their huge geographic expanse and large proportion of people living below poverty line.

The recently concluded India Africa Forum Summit (IAFS), therefore came at a strategic time and provided both sides with a great opportunity to formalize partner-

ship agreements to collectively meet global goals set out in Agenda 2063, post-2015 Agenda (SDGs recently adopted by India and Africa) and the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference.

The previous two India-Africa Forum Summits, held in New Delhi (2008) and Addis Ababa (2011) saw intensification of development cooperation between India and 15 participating African countries. The first Summit of April 2008 resulted in the “Africa-India Framework for Cooperation” where

seven main areas of cooperation were identified, which were also reiterated and enhanced at the Second Africa-India Summit. The framework emphasized on economic development by foreseeing cooperation in a number of economic areas, especially tourism and infrastructure.

In his opening remarks at the third summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged the importance of India’s partnership with Africa. He stated that our relationship is “beyond strategic con-

sideration” as it is “driven by the aim of empowerment, capacity building, human resource development, access to Indian market, and support for Indian investments in Africa.” During his address, the prime minister highlighted the following focus areas — human resource development, institution building, infrastructure, clean energy, climate change adaptation, agriculture, health, education and skill development where India and the African nations will continue to work together.

Agriculture plays a vital role in the economies of both India and Africa. Over 60 percent of the rural households in India and 70 percent in Africa depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood.

India, over the years and after the Green Revolution has made remarkable advancement in using technological interventions to improve agricultural outputs. Indian experience in the agriculture sector will be of relevance to the African countries which are highly vulnerable to climatic variabilities.

India’s entry in NSG likely in June NEW DELHI: India’s pending application for entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) should come up for consideration at its plenary in June 2016.

Indian diplomats have been in discussion with NSG members for some time, and on October 30, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj discussed the matter with visiting NSG chairman Rafael Grossi, who indicated that he would take it up with the grouping’s 48 members right away.

India is aggressively being supported by the United States, which has more or less assured India’s entry into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) in the coming couple of months, and then follow through to facilitate it in the NSG. US diplomats told India Strategic that the Obama administration was committed in this perspective.

Diplomatic sources also said that President Barack Obama has invited

Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state visit in March 2016, which has been accepted, and the US support to India due to its clean non-proliferation record, tight export control laws, and growing friendship with the US was a given now.

India’s entry into the MTCR could be considered as a gift from Washington to Indian prime minister India’s entry into the MTCR could be considered as a gift from Washington to the Indian prime minister due to the strengthening relations.

Hectic discussions should be on between the two countries to finalize some agreements which should formally be signed during the visit.

India may face some hurdles from China which wants its only military ally, Pakistan, to also gain entry into the NSG and other denial regimes despite its bad track record in both missile and nuclear proliferation. Grossi has observed that it would be difficult to have an India-specific exemption.

India, Pakistan and Israel are the three countries with nuclear capability but who have not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). India though has never violated it unlike Pakistan, which has imported nuclear technology from China, missile technology from North Korea, and sold nuclear technology to Iran.

India however has a waiver, courtesy Washington, for nuclear trade with those willing, but there are many technologies that it still cannot access due to MTCR and two other denial regimes, the Wassenar Arrangement and Australia Group.

IS bombed Russian plane: US Russian plane crash most likely caused by a bomb planted by Islamic State, claims US intelligence IANS, WASHINGTON

Premature for Syrian opposition to join talks in Russia: US

T

he latest US intelligence suggests that the crash of a Russian passenger plane in Egypt was most likely caused by a bomb planted by the terror group Islamic State (IS) or its affiliate, CNN reported this week.

A US official quoted by CNN said: “There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane.”

The assessment was reached by looking back at intelligence reports that had been gathered before and after the crash of the Metrojet Flight 9268 in Egypt’s Sinai that killed all 224 people onboard, CNN quoted the official as saying.

But the official added that there has not been a formal conclusion reached by the US intelligence community on the cause of the crash.

The plane, which was heading to

‘Pak’s support for terrorists threatens human rights’ UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan’s continued support for terrorists in Kashmir is the main challenge to the human rights of the people of the state, India said during three rounds of dueling statements by the two countries.

Indian diplomat Mayank Joshi dismissed Pakistan’s assertion that Kashmir was a disputed territory and said, “The misuse of this forum by making tendentious references to the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir constitutes a clear interference in the internal affairs of India.”

The current round of face off between the two neighbors beganon November 2 when Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi raised the Kashmir issue in a General Assembly Committee that deals with social and humanitarian affairs. She said that a plebiscite under UN auspices should be held in Kashmir adding, “Generation after generation of Kashmiris have seen only broken pledges and ruthless oppression.”

Rattan Lal Kataria made a rebuttal, saying, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir exercised their right to self-determination at the time of India’s Independence and have since then regularly participated in free and fair elections at all levels.”

“These elections have been held under the scrutiny of international media and opinion, which has not faulted the electoral process,” he added.

The crash of the Metrojet Flight 9268 in Egypt’s Sinai killed all 224 people onboard.

St. Petersburg, Russia, crashed about 23 minutes after taking off from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Most of the passengers were Russian citizens.

There “had been additional activity in Sinai that had caught our attention,” the US official said.

The intelligence regarding the IS is in part based on monitoring of

internal messages of the terrorist group, another US official said.

Those messages are separate from public IS claims of responsibility, that official said.

Sinai Province, a militant Egyptian group affiliated with the IS, claimed responsibility for Saturday’s downing of the Russian plane through a statement. The group

WASHINGTON: The US State Department said that it was premature for Moscow to invite Syrian opposition to attend talks in Russia.

Acknowledging having seen reports that Russians will hold a meeting between the Syrian government and members of the opposition next week, US State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters that “We think it’s premature”.

“There will be a time and place when the opposition groups will be presented,” Trudeau said at a daily

Pressing Pak for action against LeT, JuD: US ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

T

he US says it keeps pressing Pakistan to take steps to constrain militant groups operating in the region, particularly the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) responsible for Mumbai terror attacks and its political arm Jama’at-ud-Da’wah.

“We obviously continue to urge steps to constrain militant groups operating in the region, including these two in particular — JuD and LeT,” State Department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters in response to a question.

“LeT, as you know, is a designated foreign terrorist organization,” he said. “We absolutely believe that taking actions against them are fundamental to addressing the scourge of terrorism. There’s no question where we are on that.”

Kirby, who was asked to comment on reported Pakistani ban on media carrying images of terrorists, said the US regularly discussed with all its partners the importance of “balancing the fight against terrorism with the imperative to preserve civil liberties, including freedom of expression and freedom of the

While it was for Pakistan to

Maldives parliament backs Emergency IANS, MALE

T

he Maldivian parliament on November 5 voted to endorse the declaration of month-long state of Emergency in the archipelago nation.

The members debated on the declaration for two hours before voting to endorse it, Haveeru online reported.

“Anyone who criticizes this step is a traitor to the nation. I call upon the members to work towards ensuring the safety and security of the general public,” Fonadhoo member Abdu Raheem Abdulla, who also serves as the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM)

President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom.

deputy leader, said.

Opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MPs, however, said the declaration was evidence of the president’s incompetence. They said

of the ruling bloc voted in favor of the declaration while 14 voted against it. Three parliamentarians abstained.

Thed Maldives declared a monthlong state of Emergency on November 4 in what has been extraordinary security measures following an explosion on a speedboat carrying President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom and subsequent discovery of an arms haul. In the declaration of Emergency, President Yameen said he had reached the decision after consultations with his national security council.

Diwali: Festival that unites

Diwali at Capitol Hill

Anushka Sharma for cracker-free Diwali this year

Diwali is celebrated by nearly a billion people around the world and more than two million people in the US, a media release from Ami Bera’s office notes

Over 1000 people attended the annual Diwali celebration in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress in the American capital; (right) US lawmakers at the annual Diwali celebration on Capitol Hill, the seat of US legislature.

ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON

M

ore than 30 members of US Congress joined about 1,000 people at the annual Diwali event on Capitol Hill, the seat of US legislature, to celebrate the accomplishments of the Indian American diaspora.

The annual celebration, which attracts people and Indian American organizations from all over the US, was organized by Ami Bera and

George Holding, Democratic and Republican co-chairs of the Caucus on India and Indian Americans.

It provides an opportunity to meet with members of Congress and other elected officials to celebrate the contributions of the South Asian community in business, technology, health care, arts, academics, and much more.

Attendees at the event in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress, included Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, both

Democrats, and the Republican Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Ed Royce.

Diwali is celebrated by nearly a billion people around the world and more than two million people in the US, a media release from Bera’s office noted.

“This event celebrates who we are and all our community has accomplished,” said Bera, the lone Indian American Congressman.

“Over the next decade, I look forward to making DC the hub for

connecting members of the community not just from the surrounding region, but across the country to celebrate our progress and talk about the future.”

“The Indian-American Community has been playing a key role in building needed ties between our two countries, and I congratulate the volunteers who worked to make this year’s Diwali celebration in Washington a success,” he said.

“I look forward to continuing to strengthen the bonds,” he added.

NEW DELHI: Actress Anushka Sharma has urged everyone to celebrate the forthcoming festival of Diwali without noise and fire crackers for the sake of animals.

Ahead of Diwali next month, the Dil Dhadakne Do star will launch a campaign “Pawsitive” through Facebook and Twitter to encourage people to reduce the use of crackers, especially in residential areas.

“Animals are our best friends.

Their welfare is one cause that’s close to my heart and I will keep taking up initiatives that makes us care for them too. When someone bursts fire crackers during Diwali, they don’t think of how it affects animals or birds,” Anushka said in a statement.

Gold glitter on Diwali A

head of Diwali, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 5 launched three ambitious schemes to reduce the physical demand for gold and fish out 20,000 tonnes of the precious metal worth $800 billion lying idle with households.

The Gold Monetization Scheme (GMS), 2015 will offer option to resident Indians to deposit their precious metal and earn an interest of up to 2.5 percent; while under the Sovereign Gold Bonds Scheme, investors can earn an interest rate of 2.75 percent per annum by buying paper bonds.

Modi also unveiled the first ever Indian gold coin & bullion, bearing Ashok Chakra on one side and Mahatma Gandhi’s image engraved on the other side.

Initially the coins will be available in denominations of 5 and 10 grams. A 20 gm bullion will also be

available through MMTC outlets.

Speaking on the occasion, Modi said India has surpassed China as the world’s largest gold consumer, buying 562 tonnes of yellow metal so far this year, against china’s 548 tonnes. “People should take advantage of the golden opportunity to help India march to a golden period,” he said.

Observing that there is no reason for the country, which has 20,000 tonnes of gold lying idle with households and institutions, to remain poor, he said, with some efforts and right policies India can get rid of this tag of (poor nation).

Recalling India’s tradition of savings and culture of empowering women with gold, he said in a lighter vein, even the RBI Governor will have to recognize the difference between “arthashastra (economics) and grahshastra (home economics).”

bowl. Mash it very well. There should be no lumps. You can also grate and then mash the khoya.

Then add grated paneer, rava/sooji, allpurpose flour/maida, baking powder and cardamom powder to the mashed khoya.

There should be no lumps in both the mava and paneer.

As if they are there, then you will find the texture of the gulab jamuns not so good.

The bits and pieces of mava or paneer will give a bite in the mouth, when you have the gulab jamuns. they won’t be smooth.

Mix well. Add milk and gather together to form a dough with milk. Don’t knead, just gently mix. If you are unable to form balls or if the mixture appears dry, then add a few teaspoons of milk. Cover the dough and keep aside for 30 mins.

We

used an electric steamer and steamed for exact 20 minutes. n Check with a tooth pick to see the doneness and if the toothpick comes out clean, then the dhokla is ready. n Remove the dhokla and allow to cool for 5-6 minutes.

n You can temper directly or

unmould the dhokla carefully in a serving plate and then slice and then temper it. n Heat oil in a small pan. first add the mustard seeds.

keep on rotating them in the oil, so that the gulab jamuns are evenly browned. n Remove the gulab jamuns and then drain them on kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil. n Then place the hot gulab jamuns in the sugar syrup. continue frying the gulab jamuns this way in batches. n When all the jamuns are placed in the sugar syrup, then keep the whole pan with the sugar syrup and gulab jamuns, on a low flame for a few minutes till the jamuns become soft. n Heating helps the gulab jamuns to absorb the syrup and become soft. the jamuns increase a bit in size. Don’t over cook as then the jamuns break.

Use a large pan, so that the gulab jamuns are not overcrowded and you can easily stir them gently while they are simmering.

With Flipkart unleashing its fiveday “The Big Billion Days” sale offer from Monday through fullpage advertisements in national dailies, its rivals Snapdeal and Amazon have lost no time to queer the pitch by taking out similar ads with smart words and catchy lines, pitching their five-day sale offers.

Hours before sales went online, in response to Flipkart’s ads, claiming its offer to be “India’s biggest sale is back!”, “Its Now or Never” and “5080 percent off on 10-lakh (one million) fashion products”, Snapdeal hit back with “You don’t need a billion offers to amaze you. You just need to snap the best ones”, and

“For the best offers this Diwali, shop only on snapdeal”.

Amazon India, however, neither flipped nor snapped but announced “India’s Greatest Sale starts at 8 a.m.”, offering a chance to win 1 kg gold everyday.

While Snapdeal asked its registered users or buyers to “stay tuned for new offers every hour”, Amazon offered a new deals every half hour starting 8 a.m.

“We sold a whopping one million products in the last 10 hours only!

With six million hits from across the nation, we saw 25 items sold per second,” claimed Flipkart in a statement later.

Noting that Bengaluru, Delhi and Chennai emerged top in terms of visits from metros, Ludhiana,

Lucknow and Bhopal were top from the non-metro cities.

“Footwear, men’s clothing and accessories have been top selling categories during this fashion sale so far. Men’s product categories have also witnessed a huge spike in demand as compared to other fashion categories,” Flipkart head Mukesh Bansal said.

In contrast, Amazon became the first e-commerce player in the country to pack goods ordered online till midnight and deliver next morning by 11 a.m.

“We have launched the morning delivery service in Bengaluru, Delhi/NCR, Hyderabad and Mumbai for the festive season,” Amazaon India’s customer experience head Akshay Sahi said.

NEW DELHI: Domestic e-commerce player Snapdeal said that it has captured another five percent of the market after it concluded its ‘Ultimate Monday’ sale which it claims was a huge hit this festive season.

“Currently there is no body which calculates market share in e-commerce but going by our statistics we have added another five percent of the market to our booty,” said Snapdeal’s vice president, category management, Rahul Taneja.

The company had started the ‘Monday sale’ five weeks back including this one and every Monday was specific to a category except this one where all categories were kept open.

“The ‘Ultimate Monday Sale’ was a huge hit with nearly sales climbing almost ten times versus usual business days. Nearly 500,000 orders booked by 11 a.m. with more than 10 orders being booked per second. We did not want to hold

the consumers captive to any single platform or time,” Taneja said.

“Nearly five mobiles were being sold per second and one women’s apparel product was also sold per second,” he said, adding Snapdeal was ready for this festive season for the hike in number of customers.

“We were already working towards making this festive season better than the previous one. We have invested nearly Rs.200 million in technology and supply infrastructure to make sure users have a glitch-free experience,” Taneja said.

“The company had built infrastructure to handle 20 times the number of users that came onbaord last festive season and had drawn up a 1.3 million square feet of warehousing space with its partners.” Snapdeal said that smartphones, power banks, grooming appliances, winter wear and women’s ethnic wear were the top selling products, with orders coming across India, led by Tier 2 cities.

Diwali: Festival that unites

Stories and Legends The legends behind the festival are as varied as the manner of its celebration, but common to all of them is the theme of the triumph of good over evil Adding to the festivity is the colorful display of lights. Like every other Hindu festival, stories from Mythology are associated with Diwali too.

and saints in his harem. With the support of Lord Krishna, Satyabhama defeated Narakasur, released all the women from his harem and restored the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi.

Given below is information on the celebrations of Diwali.

Return of Shri Ram To Ayodhya

The most famous legend behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the prince of Ayodhya Nagri -Lord Shri Ram. The king of Lanka, Ravana, kidnapped Ram's wife - Sita from the jungle, where they were staying as per the instructions of their father King Dashratha.

In order to free Sita from Ravana's custody, Ram attacked him. This was followed by a war in which Ram defeated Ravena and released Sita from his custody.

That day is celebrated as Dusshera in India. However, at some places in Sri Lanka, which was actual abode of Ravena at that time, people worship Ravana for his wisdom, power and dedication to Lord Shiva.

On the arrival of Lord Ram along with his wife Sita, people of Ayodhya decorated their homes as well as the city of Ayodhya by lighting tiny diyas all over, in order to welcome their beloved prince Shri Ram and Devi Sita.

Incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi

On the auspicious new moon day, which is 'Amavasyaa' of the Hindi month of Kartik, the Goddess of

The Return of The

wealth and prosperity - Lakshmi was incarnated.

She appeared during the churning of the ocean, which is known as 'Samudra Manthan', by the demons on one side and Gods on the other side.

Therefore, the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the Lakshmi Pujan, on the day of Diwali, became a tradition.

Lord Krishna Destroyed Demon Narakasur

One famous story behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the killing of demon king Narakasur – the ruler of Pragjyotishpur, a province to the South of Nepal.

After acquiring victory over Lord Indra during a war, Narakasur snatched away the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi, who was not only the ruler of Suraloka, but also a relative of Lord Krishna's wife - Satyabhama.

Narakasur also imprisoned sixteen thousand daughters of Gods

Pandavas

The great Hindu epic 'Mahabharata' has another interesting story related to the 'Kartik Amavasyaa'.

According to the story, 'the Pandavas', the five brothers Yudhishthhira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahdeva, were sentenced to thirteen years exile as a result of their defeat against 'the Kauravas' - Duryodhana and his 99 brothers, at the game of dice.

It is said that Kauravas won the game of dice by guile as revenge to the humiliation of Duryodhana at the hands of Draupadi – wife of Pandavas.

As a result of the loss, the Pandavas spent thirteen years in the jungles and returned to their kingdom on the day of 'Kartik Amavasyaa'.

On their return, the people of their kingdom welcomed the Pandavas by celebrating the event by lighting the earthen lamps all over in their city.

Coronation of King Vikramaditya

Another legend or story about Diwali celebrations relates to one of the greatest Hindu King Vikramaditya. It was the day when he was coroneted and the people celebrated this event by lighting tiny earthen 'diyas'.

Diwali: Festival that unites

City of Aurora heralds Diwali The cultural extravaganza entertained the crowd of over 4,000, while serving as an introduction to India’s mythological heritage for US-born Indians and non-Indians IANS, AURORA (ILLINOIS)

A

local school auditorium was converted for a few hours into mini-India for Diwali celebrations hosted by the city of Aurora, the second largest city in the US state of Illinois.

Over 4,000 people, mostly Indian-Americans, in traditional attire, attended the event organized by the Indian-American Community Outreach Board of the city.

The guests were treated to an eclectic collection of performances ranging from vignettes from the Ramayana to semi-classical and Bollywood dances expertly performed by amateurs, many of them second generation Indian-Americans.

The fast paced cultural extravaganza entertained the crowd of over 4,000, while serving as an introduction to India’s mythological and cultural heritage for USborn Indians and non-Indians.

the eyes and palate.

A video presentation projected glimpses of Indian history and culture. Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner lit the traditional lamp inaugurating the event, which started with Ganesh aaradhana (invocation) and included a Bharat Natyam performance on ‘Rama Ravana’, depicting the slaying of the demon king.

Mayor Weisner, whose unstinting support led to the city hosting the first Diwali event last year, appeared visibly pleased at the success of the event, as well as the contribution of the Indian-American community to the cultural fabric of the city.

“Indian-Americans have enriched the city with their unique

contribution to music, dance and cuisine,” he said.

Other elected officials endorsed him. US Congressman Bill Foster said Diwali reminded Americans of how multiple cultures have contributed to the American heritage.

Among those attending were two members of the state legislature, the Indian consul general and

several aldermen.

Krishna Bansal, the chairman of the board, noted that it was fitting that Diwali, the festival of lights should be celebrated by Aurora, the city of lights. Aurora, named after the goddess of dawn was the first city in the US to have public electric lights.

“Diwali, which symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, or the triumph of virtue over evil, has assumed greater relevance in a world torn by division and strife,” he said.

Ohio students host Diwali celebrations in Trinidad Diwali celebrations PARAS RAMOUTAR, PORT-OF-SPAIN

NEW YORK: The Indian Student Association of Ohio University hosted Diwali celebrations featuring traditional dances and Bollywood music at the Baker Ballroom on November 1.

The event allowed guests to learn about the significance of Diwali and the way the festival of lights is celebrated in India, The Post, of Ohio University, quoted student association president Swathi Raghu as saying.

Diwali celebration was catered

by Tadka, a restaurant in Columbus, association secretary Shivam Agrawal said, adding the menu included traditional Indian cuisine.

The Indian Student Association

does not run the event for profit, Raghu, who is a graduate student studying electrical engineering, said. They receive the majority of the funding from the International Student Union, she added.

According to the Office of Institutional Research, as of 2014 there are more than 100 students from India studying at Ohio University.

“When you are far away from home, you tend to be more homesick during a festival time, so to compensate for that we gather and get together with whoever we know and try to feel like we are at home," said Rohit, a graduate student of electrical engineering at the US university.

T

he annual Divali Nagar festival in Trinidad and Tobago offers “a dynamic platform for deepening of the appreciation of our cultural multiplicity", according to the Caribbean nation’s cultural minister.

Speaking at the 29th Divali Nagar’s opening ceremony on November 1, Minister for Community Development, Arts and Culture Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said her ministry is pleased to support the initiative which encompasses “our religious, cultural and artistic traditions".

“Our ancestors demonstrated unwavering faith and endurance in the preservation of our rituals.

Through their efforts, our various religious customs have survived to contribute to the great tapestry that is now Trinidad and Tobago," she said.

Gadsby-Dolly said the National Council of Indian Culture (NCIC) is actively playing “its role in developing progressive approaches to the management of cultural and

community activities".

Deokienanan Sharma, president, NCIC, said apart from an Indian channel beaming this year’s Divali Nagar worldwide, several issues of cultural importance have taken shape.

“We are approaching completion of the construction of our cultural heritage Center which will house an Indian diasporic library and an Indo-Caribbean Archive docu-

menting the history, culture and traditions of the East Indians in the diaspora so that researchers, students and individuals can access credible information," Sharma said.

He said when Divali Nagar started in 1986 it made a statement that “Indo-Trinidadian culture was a significant part of the culture of our country and it must take its rightful place on the national stage".

Diwali: Festival that unites

‘Diwali now well known in Australia’

Dussehra, Diwali celebrated in Britain

Diwali has become a well known festival in Australia. Earlier, we used to include ‘festival of lights’ to explain the event, but now we do not need to.

IANS, SYDNEY

D

iwali has become a well-known festival in Australia with thousands of people from various ethnic groups coming together each year to celebrate the festival of lights.

“Diwali has become a well known festival in Australia. Earlier, we used to include ‘festival of lights’ to explain the event, but now we do not need to. Friends, politicians everyone know Diwali,” Australia-based indianlink website quoted Arun Sharma, chairman of Celebrate India Inc., which has been organizing the event for the last 10 years, as saying.

This year Melbourne’s iconic Federation Square was set to host a two-day Diwali party from November 6-7.

“We have people eagerly looking forward to the festival, even nonIndians get very excited. That has been the biggest change and achievement,” he added.

Celebrate India has a dedicated

team of 35 volunteers for Diwali planning, and this swells to 70 volunteers during the event, according to Sharma.

Fashion parades, live music and cultural entertainment are all part of the ‘Folkwood’ theme of this year’s event.

Popular British-Indian artist Tarsame Singh Saini, aka Taz, who is the lead singer of pop band

Stereo Nation will perform at the event. Another exciting act will be performed by Kalbeliya, a popular Rajasthani folk dance group, as well as performances from local bands like the Om Music Group and The Fifth.

Those heading to Melbourne airport will be greeted with a Diwali display in the departure lounge.

LONDON: Thousands of people of various faiths from across Manchester gathered at the city Center to celebrate the festivals of Dussehra and Diwali on October 17, a British media report said.

Over 8,000 people from across northwest England came together at Albert Square to enjoy art, dance, food, music and spectacular display of fireworks during the 10th annual Dussehra Diwali Mela organized by the Indian Association Manchester and Manchester Council, the Manchester Evening News reported.

The day began with live performances by singers Sheeba Khan and Shubhra and British Asian Bhangra band Shin DCS. Bollywood entertainment outfit

Spice Entertainment also wowed the crowds.

Visitors were treated to arts and crafts workshops, as well as stalls selling Indian food, clothes, jewelery and accessories. At dusk, there was a lantern procession as part of the Diwali celebrations.

“The event brings people together from every community in Greater Manchester. The event is also fantastic artistically and gives lots of performers a chance to shine. It’s not your average day in Manchester, that’s for sure,” Rajyashree Dutta, president of the Indian Association Manchester, was quoted as saying.

In India, Dussehra festival will be celebrated on October 22 and Diwali on November 11 this year.

Celebrating India in NZ IANS, WELLINGTON

T

housands of people flocked to Auckland on October 18 to get a firsthand experience of traditionalcum-contemporary Indian culture in a celebration of the Diwali festival, a media report said.

The two-day celebrations concluded at the Queen St’s Aotea Square with a fireworks finale on Sunday night and included events like workshops, live dance, music, puppet and theater performances, New Zealand Herald reported.

The event is the largest vegetarian festival in the city and recorded a footfall of 35,000 people last year.

The event was organized by Auckland Council’s Tourism, Events and Economic Development arm in collaboration with the Asia New Zealand Foundation.

The celebrations were spiced up by the availability of traditional food while arts and crafts and dancing gave an insight into the multi-hued Indian culture.

The festival had more than 60 food and craft stalls — the largest in the festival’s 14-year history.

Many Indian performers,

including Indian puppeteer and master storyteller Mahipat Kavi, and Mudra Creation — a Lavani folk dance group from Maharashtra, performed at the event.

Other highlights included a ‘bhangra’ (Punjab folk dance) performance by a group of policemen (and a woman).

Diwali: Festival that unites

SC refuses firecracker ban ‘We can’t regulate the bursting of firecrackers. You are asking for an order which can’t be enforced’, the Chief Justice observes (Left) The air pollution levels in Delhi have already reached dangerous levels; (above) The apex Court expressed displeasure over Union govt’s inaction in implementing SC’s Oct 16 order.

IANS, NEW DELHI

R

efusing to order a blanket ban on firecrackers on Diwali, the Supreme Court has expressed displeasure over the Centre’s failure to carry out its earlier directive to give wide publicity to the ill effects of bursting of crackers, including sound and air pollution.

The union government has not complied with the October 16 order, the apex court said, taking a dim view of the Centre’s inaction on the issue so far.

An apex court bench of Chief Justice H.L. Dattu and Justice Arun Mishra asked the Centre and other authorities to launch a publicity campaign both in print and electronic media on the harmful effects of firecrackers during the festival season from October 31 to November 12.

The court reiterated its earlier order of 2005, prohibiting bursting of firecrackers during night hours from 10.00 p.m. to 6 a.m.

“When we passed our October 16 order, we intended it to be carried out and advertisements published continuously,” the court observed as Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar told the bench that advertisements were ready and would be published before Diwali.

Apparently unimpressed by the submission, the bench questioned the efficacy of such advertisements.

“You publish (the advertisements)

one fine morning. When we passed that order, we intended it to be published continuously.” The court said the advertisement campaign would now begin from October 31.

The apex court by its October 16 order directed the central and state governments to give wide publicity, both in print and electronic media, to the ill effects of fireworks and advise the people accordingly.

That order also directed “teachers/lecturers/assistant professors/professors of schools and colleges to educate students about the ill effects of the fireworks”.

As senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for a toddler-petitioner, urged the court to direct that people should burst firecrackers at a common ground, Chief Justice Dattu said, “We can’t say that all those who want to burst firecrackers should go to Nehru Ground.”

“We can’t regulate the bursting of firecrackers,” Chief Justice Dattu observed.

“You are asking for an order which can’t be enforced,” Justice Mishra said as Singhvi wanted the apex court to fix some “reasonable

time limit” for bursting of firecrackers. Three toddlers — six-montholds Arjun Gopal and Aarav Bhandari and 14-month-old Zoya Rao Bhasin — moved the apex court to seek a ban on the sale and bursting of firecrackers during Dussehra and Diwali celebrations as it aggravated the already dangerous air pollution level and harmed them.

Counsel told the court that lungs of the toddlers were not yet fully developed and large-scale bursting of firecrackers during Dussehra and Diwali would further aggravate the already polluted air, and would be seriously detrimental to their health.

The three toddlers moved the apex court through their lawyer fathers.

Firecracker ban: legal eagles support restrictions NEW DELHI: Legal luminaries have expressed concern over the deteriorating levels of air pollution in the city.

“It is an excellent plea. I wish the court grants it. I am not saying that you ban firecrackers all over the city, but don’t allow them in the middle of the city. Why can’t a few societies come together and gather at a park and burst low-smoke crackers for a fixed duration,” wondered senior counsel Harish Salve, espousing community celebration of the festival of lights.

According to data furnished in parliament, some 80 people die from illnesses stemming air pollution in the capital every day. We can’t have “death and mayhem” in the name of celebrations, he said.

Salve pointed to a woman lawyer suffering from asthma who said that every year she locks herself up inside her house so that she was not exposed to air which was already harmful and has the potential of further aggravating her ailment. Supporting the plea by the toddlers, senior counsel Vijay Panjwani told IANS: “It is the duty of everyone to take such steps that will help in reducing the dangerous levels air pollution has

Harish Salve

Vijay Panjwani

crossed.” Panjwani, who represents the Central Pollution Control Board in the apex court, said that “smoke contains poisonous gases and particulate matters — which is dangerous to human health”.

The worst-effected are elderly people or the very young ones. Other age groups are equally vulnerable but because of their stronger physique the ill effects are relatively less.

Underlining the urgency of combating air pollution on a war footing, Chandra Bhushan of the Centre for Science and Environment said that the “problem is that Delhi is suffering from acute pollution, especially during winter”.

This can’t be addressed without taking steps such as reducing the number of vehicles on the roads and banning the bursting of crackers during festivals like Dussehra and Diwali.

Pointing to serious ailments that air pollution causes, Bhushan favored imposing a “pollution tax” that is justifiable under the principle of “polluter pays”.

“Some of these steps would cause inconvenience to the people,” Bhushan said, adding: “People will have to cooperate if they don’t want their children and elders to suffer from diseases which have long-term ramifications.”

This view found support among medical professionals. They pointed out that cumulative exposure to high levels of particulate pollution increases the risk of various respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

However, on a divergent note, senior counsel Aman Lekhi opposed a ban on firecrackers, contending this happened over only a few days and banning this would not solve the problem.

Lekhi said the demand for banning the firecrackers is totally unwarranted as it is nothing but for publicity.

“Firecrackers are burst only for a short duration on two, three days and their harmful effect vanishes in a day or two. Firecrackers which are an integral part of important festivals,” Lekhi said.

ven as the alleged illegal imports from China have forced the firecracker industry at Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu to cut down production, it now faces the charge of hurting religious sentiments.

G. Abiruben, president of the Tamil Nadu Fireworks Manufactures Association, said district authorities had told them to respect religious feelings while producing firecrackers.

“We have received a letter from the district administration to take into account the religious sentiments of the people while manufacturing the crackers,” Abiruben told IANS. The reference is to the bursting of crackers with the images of Hindu gods and goddesses printed on them.

He said a reply had been sent to the administration citing a Supreme Court ruling permitting the manufacture and sale of such crackers.

Sivakasi, the hub of the firecracker industry in the country, is located 535 km from Chennai in Virudhunagar district.

Said Uma Ravichandran, coordinator of the Tamil Nadu chapter of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti: “On Diwali, we pray to goddess Lakshmi and also burst crackers with her image.

“The image of the goddess is torn into pieces and people stamp over it.

This is not good,” Ravichandran told IANS.

Countering her, Abiruben asked what happens to newspapers and wedding invitations that carry images of Hindu gods-goddesses?

“Once the newspapers or wedding invitations serve their purposes, we throw them out or use it for various purposes. Similarly is the case with the crackers that have the images of god or goddess,” Abiruben said.

“Lakshmi Vedi”, “Vishnu Vedi”, “Krishna Vedi” are some of the firecrackers made in Sivakasi. Needless to say, they do carry the images of goddess Lakshmi and gods Vishnu and Krishna. Incidentally, Lakshmi

Vedi has existed for more than 50 years, and is one of the popular varieties in the market.

Curiously, both Abiruben and Ravichandran do not agree to the possibility of having the pictures of Hindu gods and goddesses on the wrapper and not on individual crackers.

According to Ravichandran, only a government order banning the manufacture of such crackers will be effective in protecting the religious sentiments of the people.

Meanwhile, Abiruben said that firecracker manufacturers in Sivakasi were working only for three days a

week due to lack of orders — possibly due to huge illegal imports from China.

“Normally factories would be running three shifts now. But production is restricted to only three days due to lack of orders,” he said.

According to him, the firecracker industry in Sivakasi is pegged at around Rs.60 billion. This year, the impact of illegal Chinese imports is estimated to be in the region of around 30 percent.

“Dealers are scared of placing orders fearing illegal imports from China flooding the market as Diwali nears,” Abiruben said.

NEW DELHI: As the festive season approaches, the Indian government assured people that it will continue to guard against illegal imports of firecrackers that have shot up this year in the run up to Diwali.

“During 2015-16 (August to September) Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) & the Customs have seized 285 tonnes of illegal firecrackers. During whole of 2014-15, 101 million tonne was seized. Action initiated in consultation with Controller of Explosive for destruction of confiscated,” tweeted Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

The Hindu festival of lights Diwali, which falls on November 11 this year, is celebrated across India by bursting of lot of fire crackers.

In September, Sitharaman said that the central government did not give go ahead for import of Chinese crackers, and asked all the state governments to take actions against illegal import of such items.

Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu is the fireworks hub of India, employing more than 200,000 people both directly and indirectly.

The firecracker industry at Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu, which is already grappling with the issue of cut-down production due to alleged illegal imports fom China, now faces the charge of hurting religious sentiments.

With no dupatta and ample skin show, she gave thumbs up to the contemporary bridal look.

"I think that's what girls today are... strong girls who are also very proud of their femininity. To be strong does not mean you stop being feminine. It's nice to have something for girls like that. I like the Boho bridal collection. That's awesome.

Varsity courses on South Asian culture and Indian philosophy or Jainism. I liked the boldness of Indian philosophy that promises to provide its followers with an access to the perfect or highest Good, namely Liberation from misery, discontent, or ignorance.

It certainly sounds like it makes its study worth the pain, no?

BY MINA PATEL HICAGO, IL- Pierre-Julien Harter, who received his Ph D from the University of Chicago in the philosophy of religions program, specializes in Buddhist philosophy in India and Tibet, as well as in Indian philosophy.

He has taught introductory classes on Indian philosophy, (Tibetan) Buddhism, the Mahābhārata, and the Yoga-sātras, among others.

C

Excerpts from his recent interview: When did you first become interested in Indian philosophy?

I am not sure exactly. As far as I can remember, I think it was Richard Attenborough’s movie Gandhi that sparked my interest when I watched it when I was just 7. As a teenager, I became interested in Buddhism, which appeared to me as an intriguing “middle way” between religion and philosophy,

Balaji Temple’s college admission workshop

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL – Sri Ve n k a t e s w a r a Sw a m i (Balaji) Temple of Aurora, Il l i n o i s h e l d i t s f i r s t College Admission Workshop on October 24.

The purpose of this workshop was to provide information to the parents of college-bound students about the college admission process.

The topics covered included standardized testing, essay writing, college finance options, the complete college admission process, large universities, medium universities, small universities and colleges, community college, and private/public school differences.

Over 170 students and parents attended the complimentary program.

Presentations were made by senior representatives and students of Chicago State University, University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Fo l l o w i n g t h e i n d i v i d u a l presentations, the panel of eight representatives answered questions from the attendees.

Balaji Temple also provided information about its own $10,000 scholarship program which is available to current high school seniors entering an accredited 4-year institution in the fall of 2016.

The next College Admission Workshop will be offered in spring of 2016.

C

and I quickly decided that I needed to learn Tibetan, and then Sanskrit. It is Sanskrit that “cast a spell” on me: I fell in love with this exquisite language that has been conveying so many different types of texts (literary, poetic, scientific, religious, philosophical, etc.) from different traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism,

Why is it important to study old Indian texts?

It seems to me that one of the dangers that we are facing today is forgetting our past by being so obsessed with the present. And there are good reasons to think that humans have learnt to be humans for so many centuries by receiving and transmitting the past. Of course, the past does not impose on us any longer, and that’s where we are lucky: we can now relate to the past without being slaves to it. Indian past is also our past, here in the US. It is obviously clearer if you are of South-Asian origins. But given that Indian Americans now form a significant part of the US population, their past is also becoming the American nation’s past. In

addition, globalization increases exchanges and dependency between the US and India: can we keep ignoring South-Asian culture when we want to strengthen our relationship with India? In fact, South-Asian culture, just like Greek and Roman cultures, belongs to humanity’s past, and it is why what it says about love, happiness, war, politics, the divine, nature, can (should) still concern us.

What other classes are you teaching at the University of Chicago Graham School?

I also teach classes on Western philosophy and literature in the Basic Program, a very interesting curriculum that reviews major Western texts from ancient and modern times, with no exams and specifically geared towards adult learners. It is a really a fun program, and a real treat for those interested in humanistic culture: not many universities offer such classes for adults in the US. So we are quite fortunate to have it right here in Chicago.
