The total strength of the Council of Ministers now goes up to 66. The much-anticipated first Ministry expansion was marred with ally Shiv Sena calling off participation in the government at the last minute, exacerbating their already strained ties. Former Shiv Sena leader Suresh Prabhu was sworn in as a cabinet minister after he quit the Shiv Sena. Prabhu, who is the prime minister’s interlocutor for the G20, has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and is expected to become a Rajya Sabha member. In Mumbai, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray described Prabhu’s joining the BJP as “unfortunate” but indicated that Anant Geete, party’s representative in the Modi government, will continue for the time being.

Why is FBI after Robin Raphel? The veteran diplomat is suspected of taking classified information home from the State Department IANS, WASHINGTON
C
ontroversial veteran American diplomat Robin Raphel, under FBI scanner as part of an anti-spying probe, was suspected of taking classified information home from the State Department, according to media reports. Citing unnamed officials, The
New York Times said the FBI was trying to determine why Raphel apparently brought classified information home, and whether she had passed, or was planning to pass, the information to a foreign government. In October FBI agents searched the home and State Department offices of Raphel, who had raised the hackles of the Indian establishment in the 1990s by describing

P
resident Barack Obama on November 8 nominated federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as the country’s next attorney general. “I can think of no better public servant to be our next attorney general,” Xinhua quoted Obama as saying while announcing the nomination in Roosevelt Room at the White House. Obama said he hoped the Senate would confirm without delay the Brooklyn federal prosecutor, who he said had distinguished herself as “tough and fair”. If approved by the Senate, Lynch

would be the second woman to serve as the country’s attorney general and the first African- American woman in the job. Lynch would replace Holder, the first black attorney general, who has held the post since Obama took office in 2009.

Jammu and Kashmir as “disputed territory” and her lobbying for separatists there. Raphel, who was appointed as the first assistant secretary of state for South Asia in 1993 by then President Bill Clinton, also sided with Sikh separatists. She “was seen in New Delhi as a catalyst for Washington trafficking with India’s enemies,” according to
uary. “That’s good news for New Delhi,” Ayers wrote, noting: “McCain has a long track record of support for a stronger India and a stronger U.S. relationship with it.” “He’s been a frequent visitor, most recently in July, and has spoken forcefully about American interests in a deeper partnership with India,”
The Washington Post which first reported the story. The Times said officials did not give details about why they were examining Raphel’s activities. Nor did they say whether she was officially a target of the investigation. Raphel, 67, who started her career as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had also served as political counsellor in New Delhi.

Gay marriage remains illegal in four states WASHINGTON: Homosexual marriages continue to remain illegal in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee following a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals. Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton, appointed by former president George W.

Same sex marriage is legal in 32 of the 50 states in the U.S.
N Korea releases last two US detainees IANS, WASHINGTON
‘Republican controlled Congress may favor India’ WASHINGTON: After the Republican victory in the United States mid-term, Congress is likely to be more interested in doing more with India on security, energy, and foreign policy, according to an American expert on South Asia. But it’s also likely to be still concerned about trade barriers and temporary worker visas, wrote Alyssa Ayres, a former State Department official and an expert at the Council on Foreign Relations. The mid-term elections gave the Republican Party control of the Senate after eight years and a stronger showing in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives Following that President Barack Obama’s 2008 Republican presidential rival, Senator John McCain is likely to assume the chairmanship of the Senate Armed Services Committee in Jan-

In that job, she was chiefly responsible for administering nonmilitary aid such as U.S. economic grants and incentives, according to
Ayers wrote. In September, McCain published an essay in Foreign Policy arguing for a pivot to India, with India at the heart of U.S. interests in Asia and argued that the US should be India’s preferred partner on energy, trade and defense, she noted.

he United States on November 9 confirmed and welcomed the release of last two American detainees held by North Korea. “We can confirm that U.S. citizens Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller have been allowed to depart the DPRK (North Korea) and are on their way home,” Xinhua quoted the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as saying in a statement. It said James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence who engaged in discussions with Pyongyang about the release of the two detainees, was accompanying them on their way home. The latest development came after North Korea let go another American detainee Jeffrey Fowle Oct 21. State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki welcomed North Korea’s new move. However, she
reiterated the agency’s “strong recommendation” against all travel by US citizens to the Asian country. Psaki also thanked the Swedish government, which represents US

They were sentenced to separate hard Labor of 15 years and six years by Pyongyang.

ASEAN: Modi pitches for partnership On his visit to Myanmar, Australia and Fiji, Prime Minister set to call for deeper ties
Modi debuts on Instagram
IANS, NAY PYI TAW
I
ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 12 said that India's relations with the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are very good and the two sides can be great partners. “ASEAN and India have the vigour and enthusiasm of their youth and wisdom and understanding of their ancient civilisations,” Modi said addressing the 25th ASEAN Summit in this capital of Myanmar. “Rapidly developing India and ASEAN can be great partners for each other. We are both keen to enhance our cooperation in advancing balance, peace and stability in the region,” he said. Stating that his government has been in office for six months, Modi said that India has rapidly enhanced its engagement with the east, “a reflection of the priority that we give to this region”.
‘India must lead in tackling black money’ BRISBANE: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit here for the G20 Summit, a leading global coalition against corruption has said India must take the lead in addressing black money, that affects the poor and developing countries the most. “Prime Minister Modi made addressing black money one of his first priorities on taking office,” said the Financial Transparency Coalition, a global network of over 150 civil society organizations, 13 governments and dozens of experts on illicit financial flows. “India has a powerful role to play in the debate around developing country inclusion in systems for the cross-border exchange of financial information and country-by-country reporting for multinational corporations,” it said. “Modi has made bringing black money home a national priority. Now it’s time for India to do the same on the global stage,” said the coalition, which has the New Delhi-based Delhi’s Centre for Budget Governance and Accountability as a member. The Indian prime minister had left New Delhi on a 10-day, threenation tour and will be in this west Australian city November 15-16 for the G20 Summit. According to the coalition, an estimated $1 trillion leaves developing nations every year by way of illicit financial flows -money that is illegally earned, utilised or transferred, thereby depriving funds for projects to end poverty and push development.

“We have close bilateral relations with each of you and we treat the relations with ASEAN with the same importance,” the prime minister said. Stating that the 10-nation bloc has established its own identity and voice in global political and economic affairs, he said that the
Asia-Pacific region needed integration and cooperation. “To achieve this extremely important goal, we look at ASEAN, not only for inspiration but also for its leadership; and you have achieved a great deal of success in leading us in that direction,” Modi said.
NAY PYI TAW: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 12 made his Instagram debut with a picture of the venue of the 25th ASEAN Summit here — and notched up followers at a blistering pace. After sharing his first post on the online mobile photo-sharing site, he tweeted: “Hello World! Great being on Instagram. My first photo... this one from the ASEAN Summit. @ Nay Pyi Taw... http://instagram.com/p/vSUOhVM_wX/”. He was welcomed on the site by his followers. There were a staggering 40,000 followers by noon which kept

D
escribing services sector growth in India as a “low hanging fruit”, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 12 said the ‘Make in India’ program has to be competitive in price terms in order to boost exports. “Services sector growth is a low hanging fruit in India. What is made in India has to be competitive in terms of prices,” Jaitley said here at a services conclave organized jointly by the commerce ministry and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). “We have to bring down prices of the products manufactured in India because consumers are going to buy products that are cheaper and of good quality. There is no patriotism in international trade,” he added. Services make up a major 57 percent share in the country’s gross
domestic product (GDP), while annual exports are worth over $150 billion. Explaining that as finance minister he had a “vested interest in the service sector doing well” because it helps to cover the deficit in India’s merchandise exports, Jaitley said the shrinking share of the manufacturing sector to only 15
percent of the economy means the country has to pursue service exports aggressively. “The manufacturing sector has partly shrunk and unable to absorb the underemployment in agriculture. Services is an area where we need to be aggressive. We cannot afford to be defensive,” Jaitley said.
on increasing by the second. “Welcome to Instagram sir, wish you a great day,” said one follower. Another wrote: “Happy to see the world through your eyes.” The tech-savvy prime minister has 7.79 million followers on his Twitter account @narendramodi, and 3.43 million so far on the Prime Minister’s Office account of @PMOIndia. The prime minister has been quite active on other social sites like Stumbleupon, Pinterest, Tumblr and LinkedIn. He has been sharing photos on Flickr as well, said a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
potential of India-ASEAN ties is much higher than what it is at the moment. “A new era of economic development, industrialization and trade has begun in India. Externally, India's 'Look East Policy' has become 'Act East Policy',” the prime minister said.

The rise and rise of Arun Jaitley Allocation of information and broadcasting ministry, in addition to existing finance and corporate affairs, shows he remains the most trusted man in Narendra Modi’s Cabinet ARVIND PADMANABHAN, NEW DELHI
T
hat the defense portfolio will be taken away from Arun Jaitley was a given. The lawyer-politician, who will turn 62 next month, had himself said in as many words that it was an additional charge he was holding, which would be assigned to someone else at the first given opportunity. But the allocation of information and broadcasting ministry in the latest cabinet reshuffle — in addition to his existing portfolios of finance and corporate affairs — is signal enough as to who remains the most trusted man in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s council of ministers. Jaitley may figure at the third place in the actual pecking order, as listed in communiqué from Rashtrapati Bhavan on portfolio AMULYA GANGULI, NEW DELHI
T
he Congress high command, which means the mother-and-son duo of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, is mistaken if it believes that the deep nervousness among Congressmen about the party’s bleak future can be dispelled by a token offer of resignation by the two and a clean chit for themselves which they secured from a servile acolyte, A.K. Antony, in a report about the election debacle. The simmering of anxiety and discontent has continued with the split in the party’s Tamil Nadu unit providing the latest evidence of the disquiet. The rupture recalled an earlier break-up when a new party, the Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC), was formed under a veteran Congress leader of the time, G.K. Moopanar. Now, his son, G.K. Vasan, is the rebel. Among the important members who were a part of the TMC was P. Chidambaram, whose son Karti has recently said the high command “culture” must go at a
allocation of the 65 members, excluding Modi himself. He figures after Home Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, in that order. Yet, there are several reasons why this former president of the Delhi University Students Union has emerged more powerful than some of his peers. The finance portfolio in itself is a formidable one, since it is at the core of any of the programmes of the government that require fiscal allocations.

The finance portfolio in itself is a formidable one as it is at the core of any of the programs of government that require fiscal allocations But, in addition, in Modi’s scheme of things, a well-oiled information and broadcasting ministry is key to ensuring that the idea of “good governance” reaches the people at large, in the manner
interacts with the media the most and is additionally seen as the political public face of not just the cabinet, but also the government. No prime minister, who has some hold over his flock, entrusts
this crucial ministry to a person whom he is not comfortable with. If Jaitley is assigned this additional task, it cannot be without reason. Incidentally, this well-connected senior counsel in the Supreme Court has the right credentials to hold the information and broadcasting portfolio, having served in it as a minister of state with independent charge in 1999-2000. He has been his party’s spokesperson as well. Politically, too, it has certainly helped that Jaitley represents Gujarat, the prime minister’s home state, in the Rajya Sabha. This apart, in a way, his loss to former

time when the party has reached a “historic low”. There is little doubt outside the party — and probably among large sections within it as well that the main reason for reaching this lowly stage is the lack of a credible leadership. Neither Sonia
nor Rahul has measured up to the standards required to face the challenge posed by a resurgent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under Narendra Modi. Nor has the Congress formulated an ideology which has wide acceptance. The party’s lack of vision is evi-
dent from the fact that even the cornerstone of its philosophy — secularism — has come under attack from within the Congress. For instance, the loyal Antony has noted in his report that the party’s practice of secularism has come to be associated with Muslim
Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh in the latest national elections by a margin of over 100,000 votes may have actually proved to be a boon for him. What has also evoked much curiosity about the information and broadcasting portfolio being assigned to Jaitley is that his predecessor Prakash Javadekar was perceived as the right choice. After all, in the run-up to the elections, he was among the public faces of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as one of its key spokespersons. Clearly, Modi has a different take on this. appeasement, a charge which has been made by the BJP from the 1990s with L.K. Advani coining the phrase, pseudo-secularism, to describe the Congress’s muddled version. Digvijay Singh, the senior general secretary of the Congress, acknowledged that the party made the mistake of not being equally vocal about both Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism. The Congress’ other deficiency is in the field of economic policy. The root of this failure lies in its inability to break free from the Nehruvian concept of socialism, manifested in a 1955 resolution calling for the establishment of a “socialistic pattern” of society. Now, the dynasty should take a sabbatical, as former Congress MP Jagmit Singh Brar suggested, so that the party can start cutting loose from the apron strings of a family in the matter of inspirational leadership or intellectual acumen are becoming increasingly apparent. The argument that the Congress will fall apart in the dynasty’s absence begs the question since it is disintegrating even now.

Rohit Khanna concedes defeat in Silicon Valley
The district has so much to offer, said Khanna.
The Democrat gave seven term incumbent Mike Honda a tough fight for South Bay Congressional seat IANS, WASHINGTON
I
n the battle for Silicon Valley, Indian-American Rohit ‘Ro’ Khanna has conceded defeat after giving seven-term incumbent Mike Honda the toughest fight of his life for the South Bay Congressional seat. In the Democrats-only tussle, the 38-year-old Khanna, a former Obama administration official conceded after he and Honda agreed it would be impossible to reverse the 73-year-old veteran lawmaker’s 4,000-plus vote lead, the San Francisco Gate reported. Thousands of votes still remained to be counted in the district, which spreads from Fremont through part of San Jose and over to Santa Clara, Cupertino and
Sunnyvale. While Khanna won endorsement and financial support of many well-known tech executives, Honda was buoyed by support from the state Democratic Party and big-name Democrats including President Barack Obama. California Governor Jerry
Khanna and Honda agreed it would be impossible to reverse the later’s vote lead Brown also pumped campaign cash into TV ads attacking Khanna during the final two weeks of the campaign, according to the Gate.
Speaking to supporters at his Fremont campaign headquarters, Khanna thanked his staff and volunteers and said he had called Honda and “wished him well as he returns to Washington for another term”. “This long campaign has come to a close,” Khanna was quoted as saying. “I believe, more than ever, that our district has so much to offer in building a fair and prosperous economic future for our nation in the 21st century. Our work is just beginning.” Khanna told a newspaper that he was “inspired by the passion both campaigns have shown in this very unique district.

S Antani is among US youngest lawmakers WASHINGTON: At 23, Indian-American law student Niraj Antani, a Republican, will be one of America’s youngest lawmakers after being elected to the state House in Ohio in the mid-term elections. “I think the legislature should reflect the way the people look, so I believe my generation does deserve a voice to fight for my children or grandchildren,” University of Dayton student Antani said on his election. He defeated 62-year-old Patrick Morris of the Democratic Party in Ohio’s 42nd House District. “I will work hard and fight every day for my constituents in the Ohio House of Representatives. Together, I know that we can create opportunities so all can achieve their American Dream,” Antani wrote on his Facebook profile. Antani graduated from Ohio State University in spring last year with a bachelor’s degree in political science.
He is the second Indian American to serve in the Ohio House after Jay Goyal who represented the 73rd District for three terms from 2006 to 2012. Antani’s parents came to the U.S. in 1987 and settled in Washington Township. Later, they moved to Miami. His father Jaimini died in 2010. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Saira Blair became America’s youngest elected lawmaker as a delegate in the West Virginia House after defeating a 44year-old attorney. There are more than 7,300 state legislators in the U.S., and fewer than five percent are under the age of 30, according to Morgan Cullen, a policy analyst at the National Conference of State Legislatures. The average age in U.S. Congress is 57, and the average age in the U.S. Senate is 62. — IANS

Britain gets first Indian-origin cabinet minister IANS, LONDON
S
ajid Javid, Britain’s secretary of state - or cabinet minister for culture, media and sport, has disclosed that his father was from India and his mother from Pakistan. This obviously makes him half-Indian and, therefore, the first person of Indian origin to be a cabinet minister in Britain. Speaking at a British Asian dinner, which released a “Power List” of British Asians, which had him at

pole position, Javid surprised the audience of 600-odd guests by stating his father was from India. He had always been described as being of Pakistani origin, which he partially is, but his Indian connection was unknown publicly. Javid, who has an English wife, is a rising star in Conservative, nay British, politics. A former banker, he has risen swiftly through the ranks and is even tipped to become a future party leader.

THE WORLD LONDON: The Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization plans to introduce its own currency and bring back solid gold and silver coins, according to media reports. This is believed to be part of the IS’s efforts to gain legitimacy and solidify its dominance. The militants want to bring back the original dinar, which is a currency from the ancient Islamic era, and religious authorities in Iraq have apparently announced the currency’s return in mosques, the Daily Mail reported on November 10. The original dinar was a gold coin, equal in weight to 4.3 gm of

Both were round in shape and one side of the coin was typically stamped with an Islamic message, while the other side featured the date of minting and the country’s ruler. The original gold and silver coins were first introduced during the Caliphate of Uthman in 634 CE. The dinar is today used by a number
of countries, but the coins are created from materials different from the originals. It is believed that the IS wants to
China wants new model of relations with US IANS, BEIJING
P
resident Xi Jinping on November 11 urged the US to jointly shape the new model of China-US relations. Xi told visiting President Barack Obama in a meeting that China and the US share a clear strategic target of building a new model of major-country relations, Xinhua reported. “We should not let the new model stay as a concept or stop at its early harvest. We should push it forward,” Xi said. A good China-US relationship is in the interests of both countries and conducive to the Asia-Pacific and the world, Xi said, adding that lead-

ers of both countries share this strategic understanding. From a strategic and long-term perspective, China and the US should build their relations step by step, Xi said. Obama told Xi that the
US is ready to work with China to realize this target. Obama attended the 22nd AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting that concluded on November 11 and will pay a state visit to China afterwards. Meanwhile, China has censured a video on the internet showing a chivalrous Russian President Vladimir Putin covering the shoulders of Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan with his coat during the gala dinner at the opening of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC). Chinese media outlets went wild over the incident and the video was broadcast on social media.
use the independent currency in areas it controls as part of its war on the West, though the terror outfit has yet to confirm this. IS was raking in money at a remarkable rate, earning about $1 million a day from black market oil sales alone. The group extracts oil from territory captured across Syria and Iraq, and sells it to smugglers. David Cohen, who leads the U.S. Treasury Department’s efforts to undermine the IS’s finances, said the extremists also get several mil-
lion dollars a month from wealthy donors, extortion rackets and other criminal activities. In addition, he said the group has taken in at least $20 million in ransom payments this year from kidnappings. The IS is a Sunni jihadi organization and last June self-proclaimed a “caliphate” in areas it controls in Iraq and Syria. The group has been named a terrorist organization by the UN and EU. Formerly called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), its original aim was to establish an Islamic state in Sunni-majority regions of Iraq.
UN reiterates supports for Malala UNITED NATIONS: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has reiterated his support for Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani Nobel Laureate and girls’ education advocate, who has come under a renewed volley of attacks in her homeland. Moon’s deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, told reporters on November 11: “The Secretary-General has made clear his support for Malala, for her goals, for the cause of girls’ education and he continues to stand by that. So he is very clear that the work she’s doing is in line with the work of the United Nations, and we will support her in those efforts.” Haq was answering a reporter’s question about UN reactions to observance of “I Am Not Malala Day” on
November 10 by the All Pakistan Private School Federation and its organizer’s accusation that Malala’s book, “I Am Malala,” is against Islam and Pakistan. He referred to a statement issued by Moon recently about the treatment of minorities in Pakistan and calling for action against the attackers and said, “We stand by the sentiments expressed in that statement.”

Peace, prosperity: focus of summit KATHMANDU: The forthcoming 18th Saarc Summit to be held in Kathmandu will focus on installing durable peace and prosperity among the member states and will give utmost priority to regional unity, Nepal’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Mahendra Bahadur Pandey said on November 11. The theme of the summit is “deeper integration for peace and prosperity”, and the 18th summit declaration would focus on bringing durable peace and prosperity in the region, Pandey said at a media briefing. This summit would make a commitment to eradication of illiteracy by 2030 from the region; stress on quality education that will help build skill, knowledge and enhancement of character; ending violence against women; providing employment opportunities for youth; according respect to senior citizen; and would call for ending all forms of terrorism, said Pandey while elaborating other points to be announced in the Kathmandu declaration.
Wagah attack suspects die in air strikes: Pak military IANS, ISLAMABAD
T
he Pakistani military claimed to have killed 13 terrorists, including those involved in the Wagah border suicide attack, in aerial strikes, media reported. The strikes were undertaken on November 11 in the Daras area of Khyber Agency, on the basis of “credible intelligence about the presence of terrorists involved in the Wagah attack”, Dawn reported citing an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement. Khyber is part of Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and is one of the eight tribal areas, which are
known as “agencies” in Pakistan. Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaedalinked militants are believed to have carved out strongholds in this region. During the strikes, fighter jets destroyed three militant hideouts including an ammunition depot. Intelligence sources believe that the mastermind and handlers of the Wagah border terrorist attack might be among the dead. The information, however, could not be verified independently. At least 60 people were killed and over 110 injured when a teenaged suicide bomber blew himself up near the Wagah border in Pakistan Nov 2 during the flag-lowering ceremony at the border.
KABUL: At least nine people were killed and five injured on November 10 in a suicide attack in Afghanistan’s Logar province. “A suicide bomber approached the entrance of provincial police department in Pul-e-Alam and detonated his explosive jacket among a group of Afghan Local Police (ALP) who were waiting for access,” an official told Xinhua. The bomber disguised himself as an ALP policeman, the official said. The victims were seven police personnel, the bomber and a civilian. The attack followed two explo-
sions in Nangarhar province and in Afghan capital of Kabul earlier in the day, which claimed the lives of three senior police officials and injured three others. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the serial blasts.

Parsekar beats odds to become Goa’s 11th CM Parsekar, 58, along with nine cabinet ministers, were administered oath of office at the Raj Bhavan grounds IANS, PANAJI
G
oa Health Minister Laxmikant Parsekar was sworn-in as the state’s 11th Chief Minister on November 8, pipping to the post rivals like assembly Speaker Rajendra Arlekar and Deputy Chief Minister Francis D’Souza who had doggedly opposed his candidature till less than two hours before the oath taking. The diminutive Parsekar, 58, along with nine cabinet ministers were administered oath of office at the Raj Bhavan grounds, shortly after he formally staked claim to form a government. Later speaking
to the media for the first time in his new role, Parsekar, a former Bharatiya Janata Party state chief, unwittingly conceded that the shadow of his predecessor Manohar Parrikar, who resigned earlier in the day due to his impending elevation to the union cabinet, would continue to loom large. Parrikar was on November 9 sworn-in as union cabinet minister, most likely with the defense portfolio, thus necessitating appointment of a new chief minister for Goa.

Parrikar should ‘defend’ me too: Parsekar PANAJI: Union Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar may have been entrusted with the task of defending the country, but Goa’s new Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar conceded on November 11 that he too looks forward to being “defended and protected” by Parrikar in his new innings. Parsekar said that he would be consulting Parrikar on issues related to portfolio allocation. “...in the early days, especially on cabinet and portfo-
lios, I will seek guidance... from the earlier chief minister. Therefore, along with country’s defense, I feel that I should also be defended and protected,” Parsekar said.
2G case: Court order on CBI plea for more witnesses on Nov 18 IANS, NEW DELHI

Sujana Chowdary: one of the richest MPs HYDERABAD: Yalamanchili Satyanarayana Chowdary, who joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s council of ministers on November 9, is popularly known as Sujana Chowdary. He is an industrialist and one of the richest MPs with assets of about `1.90 billion. Founder and chairman of Sujana Group of Companies, Chowdary hails from Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh and belongs to the powerful Kamma community like his Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Born in 1961 in a well-educated family of government officers, Chowdary did his Master’s in engineering. He set up Sujana Group of Companies in 1986. With over 6,000 employees and an annual turnover of $3 billion, the diversified group was ranked as one of the top 10 expanding groups of companies in India as of July, 2011. He came closer to Naidu when the
latter was the chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh between 1995 and 2004 and was considered as one of the main fund-raisers for the party. Naidu rewarded him with a Rajya Sabha ticket in 2010. Chowdary was one of the strong TDP voices against division of Andhra Pradesh and he drew the attention with his protest in Rajya Sabha during the debate on the state reorganization bill. He grew stronger in the party and was made leader of TDP parliamentary wing. Naidu also appointed him as head of the resources management committee for pooling financial resources for the state after its bifurcation. Also a member of the panel formed to advise the government on development of new state capital, Chowdary gained prominence in the party. No wonder then that he was the obvious choice of Naidu when Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked TDP chief to nominate a leader for the cabinet berth.
court here on November 11 fixed November 18 for delivering its order on the CBI plea seeking permission to examine some more people as prosecution witnesses in the 2G spectrum allocation case. The Central Bureau of Investigation Special Judge O.P. Saini set November 18 for delivering his order on the investigating agency’s plea seeking the court’s directions to summon Enforcement Directorate (ED) Deputy Director Rajeshwar Singh and others as prosecution witnesses. The court order came after prosecution and defense counsels concluded their arguments. Many accused, including former communications minister A. Raja

and DMK MP Kanimozhi, opposed the CBI plea seeking permission to examine some more people as prosecution witnesses in the case. Kanimozhi has told the special court that the CBI has filed this application at a “highly belated stage” when the recording of evidence has already been closed.
Pandurang Dhavalikar (both Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party) were also sworn-in as cabinet ministers. Earlier in the day, BJP state leaders as well as central observers Rajeev Pratap Rudy and Purshottam Rupala were busy fire-fighting dissent sparked by D’Souza who had insisted on refusing to work with Parsekar or Arlekar, claiming both were junior to him. “I am still in the race for chief minister. I will speak to the party’s observers and make my point clear. I will quit government,” he said.
Karnataka, AP to share river water BENGALURU: Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh on November 10 agreed to modernize canals on Tungabhadra’s right bank for sharing the river water between the two states. “A proposal will be sent to the Tungabhadra River Management Board for modernizing the canals,” Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told reporters after a meeting with his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu and officials here. Modernization of the high and low level canals will not only plug seepages, but also improve the river water flow into Andhra Pradesh. As 32 TMC (thousand million cubic) litres of water is going waste due to seepage and silt accumulation on the river bed every year, modernization will help flow of water released from the Tungabhadra dam in the state to irrigate fields in Kurnool, Kadapa and Ananthapur districts.
Telangana targets 15-20 percent share in aerospace market IANS, HYDERABAD
T
he Telangana government will develop two more aerospace parks as part of its initiatives to garner 15 to 20 percent market share in aerospace and defense sector in next five years, officials said. The aerospace park proposed over 1,000 acres near Ibrahimpatnam on HyderabadVijayawada highway will be an extension of the existing aerospace Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at
Adiblatla, which houses Tata’s four units in joint venture with global majors like Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin and RUAG Aviation. The third facility is being planned on the northern side of Hyderabad and it is most likely to
come up near Warangal, which has an airstrip. Telangana’s Special Chief Secretary, Industries and Commerce, K. Pradeep Chandra said that the IAF move to replace its Avro fleet offers a huge opportunity for Hyderabad to emerge as aerospace and defense hub. As no defense public sector company will be involved in Avro replacement, Hyderabad will have an edge as Bangalore is the biggest hub because of the presence of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

India cruise to easy series win Kohli’s men take an unassailable series lead after winning the third one-dayer by six wickets against hapless Sri Lanka IANS, HYDERABAD
A
superb all-round performance helped India cruise to a six-wicket win in the third One-Day International (ODI) against Sri Lanka and clinch the five-match series 3-0 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on November 9. Set a target of 243 runs, India coasted to victory in 44.1 overs, winning with 35 balls to spare. Opener Shikhar Dhawan played a stellar knock (91) and forged useful partnerships with Ajinkya Rahane (31) and Ambati Rayadu (35) to lead India to victory. Virat Kohli also contributed with a solid 53, in the process becoming the quickest batsman to reach 6,000 ODI runs, taking only 136 innings to reach the feat. Pacer Umesh Yadav (4/53) wrecked Sri Lanka’s top order earlier in the day to help set up the triumph. India approached their run chase in the right spirit, giving nothing away despite chasing a small target against a mediocre attack. Dhawan was in hot form, hitting

the ball superbly and dictating the proceedings. The southpaw was ably supported by Rahane and Rayudu. Kohli carried on the momentum after their departure to smoothen the road to victory. Dhawan called upon his wide range of shots to give the opponents no ray of hope, becoming the fastest Indian and fifth fastest to reach 2,000 ODI runs, in just 48 innings.
In the afternoon session, Sri Lanka rode on the back of a brilliant century from veteran Mahela Jayawardene to put up a total of 242. Jayawardene, who struck his 17th century, was well supported by Tillakaratne Dilshan (53) at the start but, after the latter got out, no other batsman gave much support to Jayawardene. In the end, the visitors, who elected to bat, were bowled out for 242 in 48.2 overs.
Advani gears up for another title
At the end of the third match both Carlsen and Anand have 1.5 points each.
Anand bounces back in third match CHENNAI: Indian chess Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand on November 11 defeated World Champion Magnus Carlsen in 34 moves in the third game of their world title match held in Russia, in the process breaking the “Carlsen Jinx” bugging him since losing the world title to Carlsen last year. At the end of the third game in the 12 game match, both the players have 1.5 points each. Grandmaster Nigel Short tweeted: “I said at the start of the game, ‘contrary to popular belief, the match is not over’. However, for some Indian trolls, I am anti-Anand.” In the Queen’s Gambit Declined opening, playing white, Indian ace Anand started confidently and the moves progressed as per the book with the champion castling on the King side. While Anand was pushing out his pawns to pave the way for his pieces, Carlsen brought out his queen side knight. On move 7, Anand started pushing his c-pawn and his other pawns on the queen side and Carlsen simi-
larly responded. A flurry of activity began on move 11 with Anand traded his white bishop for Carlsen’s white bishop. Following that, Anand gave up his b-pawn in order to advance his c file pawn to the seventh rank. Anand’s 17th move of putting his knight on the g5 square aiming for a play centered around his pawn on the seventh rank. This made Carlsen to go into deep thought for a whopping 32 minutes to make his move. This prompted world number 7 Grandmaster Anish Giri to tweet: “Interesting, the axiom that Magnus has an unearthly memory is being challenged right now.” Speaking to IANS, world number 23 Grandmaster P.Harikrishna said: “It is unclear why Carlsen took so long. Seems he was figuring out the way to take Anand out of theory/home preparation.” Indian Grandmaster Vidit Gujarathi tweeted that the board position was reached in Aronian-Adams but Harikrishna said the Aronian-Adams, though ended in a draw, was not an easy one. —Venkatachari Jagannathan

P
ankaj Advani attributed his stunning triumphs this year when he won four World titles, to his continuing evolution as a cueist and he hoped to ride the momentum in the IBSF World snooker championship to be held here from November 16 to 29. The 29-year old Advani, speaking to the media on the sidelines of a felicitation function here Saturday within hours after returning
from England, said he was not thinking so much about results as evolving into a better player when asked whether he would add a fifth World title on November 29. The Billiards and Snooker Federation of India secretary S. Balasubramaniam presented Advani a cash prize of `350,000. Advani has won 12 World titles and the expectations are high that he would add one more to the tally by winning IBSF World snooker championship crown this month.
MUMBAI: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been rested for the first Test against Australia but will resume his duties from the second Test. Virat Kohli will lead the side as stand-in skipper for the opening Test starting from December 4. India will be touring Down Under for four Tests, starting on December 4, which will be preceded by two two-day practice games in November. “Virat Kohli will lead India in the first Test, starting on December 4, in Brisbane. M.S. Dhoni has been rested for the first Test as a prophylactic measure to ensure optimum recovery”, said BCCI. — IANS
T
he Supreme Court on November 9 said it will go through the Justice Mukul Mudgal committee report that probed the allegations of betting and spot fixing in 2013 edition of IPL and also examine whether it could be made public or what parts of it could be withheld. At the outset of the hearing, a bench of Justice T.S. Thakur and Justice Fakkir Mohamed Ibrahim Kalifulla said they have yet to go through the report. “Report has come. None of us (Justice Thakur and Justice Kalifulla) has been able to see it,” the court said as senior counsel Harish Salve said that probe report was submitted to the court November 3. At this, senior counsel C.A. Sundaram, appearing for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), urged the court to see the conclusion of the report and if there was nothing against any of the
Justice Mukul Mudgal
office bearers, then that can be disclosed. Making it clear that his main concern was November 20 BCCI general body meeting, Sundaram said that he was addressing the court on all the office bearers and not just N. Srinivasan who as of now stands side-lined as BCCI chief. At this, Justice Thakur observed: “Let us say there is no finding against Srinivasan but there is something against someone close to him, then what will be the situation.” After the hearing the court adjourned the hearing till November 14.

MODI’S TEAM GETS BIGGER
As many as 21 new ministers, including four of Cabinet rank, inducted; total strength now 66 IANS, NEW DELHI
P
rime Minister Narendra Modi on expanded his Union Council of Ministers, inducting 21 new faces, including four with Cabinet rank, with the average age being 56, seeking to consolidate party’s gains of the Lok Sabha elections by giving representation to various regions and communities. The total strength of the Council of Ministers now goes up to 66. The much-anticipated first Ministry expansion was marred with ally Shiv Sena calling off participation in the government at the last minute, exacerbating their already strained ties. Former Shiv Sena leader Suresh Prabhu was sworn in as a cabinet minister after he quit the Shiv Sena. Prabhu, who is the prime minister’s interlocutor for the G20, has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and is expected to become a Rajya Sabha member. In Mumbai, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray described Prabhu’s joining the BJP as “unfortunate” but indicated that Anant Geete, party’s representative in the Modi government, will continue for the time being. Thackeray put a condition that his party will sit in opposition in Maharashtra if BJP takes support of NCP to prove its majority
announced till Sunday evening. The first meeting of the expanded council of ministers is slated for Monday. Former Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar, who is widely tipped to get the defense portfolio, was the first to take oath at the Durbar Hall of Rashtrapati Bhavan. BJP general secretary J.P. Nadda, who is known to be close to Modi and party chief Amit Shah, and Birender Singh, who left the Congress ahead of the recent Haryana assembly elections to join the BJP, were administered oath as cabinet ministers by President Pranab Mukherjee.
India Inc happy with expansion Echoing the sentiments of India Inc, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on November 9 congratulated the new members of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ministerial council and said the ministryexpansion will help improve the focus on economic recovery. “The induction of new ministers will streamline governance and bring in new ideas for the economic reforms process,” said CII president Ajay Shriram. “Several of the ministries were under a single minister, and industry was widely expecting the expansion of the cabinet at an early date.” The industry chamber said at a time when the economy was recovering, it was important to fast-track policies to strengthen this. The cabinet expansion sends out a signal that the government under Prime Minister Modi is serious about accelerating reforms. India’s GDP rose 5.7 percent in the first quarter of 2014-15, an improvement over the sub-five-percent rate of the previous two years. Industry is hoping the expanded cabinet will rapidly address tax reform, land acquisition, power and ease of doing business. He said that while the business sentiment picked up since the new government took over, the ministerial expansion will support faster decision-making, efficient administration and faster clearances.
JAGAT PRAKASH NADDA, 54 (Health and family welfare): Brought up in Patna, Nadda was one of the youngest legislators to be elected to Himachal assembly. The veteran politician who earned recognition as a Himachal Pradesh leader lost the race for BJP’s presidency to Amit Shah after the Lok Sabha elections. His big leap into politics started during Emergency in 1977 as an Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad activist. Nadda is known to maintain a low profile and claims to be a disciplined solider of the RSS.
BIRENDER SINGH, 68 (Rural development): A long-time Congress man, he joined the BJP before assembly elections in Haryana to protest against the grand old party not agreeing to the sacking of then chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. In his long political career, he had been Congress in-charge for many states such as Uttarakhand and Himachal, and was the chairperson of many parliamentary standing committees. He had joined the BJP apparently on the assurance that he would get a Union cabinet berth.

in the state assembly Nov 12. The Sena at the last minute recalled Anil Desai, who it had nominated for induction in the union ministry. According to reports, Desai arrived in Delhi for the oath-taking ceremony but was ordered to return. Shiv Sena and BJP have failed to reach an agreement over government formation in Maharashtra. Modi’s 45-member ministry on November 9 added to it four cabinet ministers, three ministers of state with independent charge, and 14 ministers of state (MoS).

PROFILE | NEW CABINET MINISTERS MANOHAR PARRIKAR, 58 (Defense): A metallurgical engineering graduate from IIT-Bombay, he has a reputation for honesty and simplicity. He was praised as the ‘Common Man’s CM’ for flying without security or entourage and carrying his own briefcase. Born in a Gaud Saraswat Brahmin family, he studied at Loyola High School, Margao. He was the first IIT graduate to become a CM. He has already filed a nomination for the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh. He is the 36th defense minister of India.
SURESH PRABHU, 61 (Railways): Prabhu was the chemical and fertilizer minister in the first NDA government. Prabhu is known as a performer. A former Shiv Sena member, he is part of international bodies on sustainable growth and climate change. A law degree holder with doctorate in climate change from Germany, Prabhu is a votary of a balance between economic development and environment protection. He has “uncommon whiff of much needed fresh air” who introduced amendment to Patents Act.

Never said no to working with Salman: Deepika
‘Bombairiya’ is challenging: Siddhartha NEW DELHI: Actor Siddhanth Kapoor says with his next film Bombairiya, which will go on the floors next month, he will step into a “different zone” with the “challenging” role. “The film lies in a very different zone for me as the role is pretty challenging with a lot of chase sequences,” Siddhartha told IANS over phone from Mumbai. “I play a local courier boy who is not from Mumbai. He is trying to fit in the scene, but he knows how to get his work done. In the film, he gets involved in a conspiracy and the story revolves around how he finds a way out.”
Rumor mills are abuzz that Deepika had refused to work in Salman-starrer ‘Kick’, which was offered to her IANS, MUMBAI
S
he’s worked with Shah Rukh Khan thrice, but Deepika Padukone is yet to share the same frame with Salman Khan. She says she’s never said no to a project starring the Dabangg star, and that destiny will decide when they’ll work together. Rumor mills were abuzz that Deepika had refused to work in Salman-starrer Kick, which was offered to her. Rubbishing this, she said: “Who am I to refuse anyone? I don’t have the power or the position to do so. I have never said I don’t want to work with Salman Khan. In fact, I want to work with him. But I think each film is as per destiny. “If it is meant to happen, it will happen no matter how hard you work on your dates. It will happen only if it has to.” Deepika recently turned sporty on the sets of her forthcoming film Piku. The daughter of ace badminton player Prakash Padukone, couldn’t resist into indulging in the game, post the shooting of the film. The leggy lass took to social networking site Instagram to share the pictures, with the caption, “Can’t resist that badminton racquet #FunOnTheSetsOf Piku.”
Vaishali to play journo in her next IANS, MUMBAI
A
ctor Vaishali Desai, grandniece of late filmmaker Manmohan Desai, will be seen playing a journalist in Meet The Patels. She says doing a comedy movie will be fresh experience. “I am doing comedy for the first time, so it’s a bit new for me. I will play a journalist in the film and I have been observing how they (journalists) take interviews. An actor is supposed to observe, so yes, I am meeting a lot of journalists and I hope I do justice to this role,” Vaishali told IANS. Meet The Patels is helmed by Mickey Virus director Saurabh Varma. The film is based in Mumbai.
Stop comparing me with my cousins: Parineeti MUMBAI: Her cousin Priyanka Chopra is a star. Now, another family member, Mannara, is all set to enter Bollywood with Zid and Parineeti feels that it is unfair to pit her against her cousins. Zid trailer is out and when Parineeti was asked whether she had seen it
and did she think Mannara will be a competitor, she said: “Yes, I saw the teaser and I think she looks sexy. We grew up together.” “I think it’s time that people stopped comparing me with my sisters in a negative way. We all have immense love for each other,” she added. The actor is currently busy promoting Kill Dil, a film helmed by Shaad Ali. Govinda, Ranveer Singh, and Ali Zafar are part of the movie.
‘The Shaukeens’ - Basu Chatterjee would smile at this remake Film: ‘The Shaukeens’; Cast: Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, Piyush Mishra, Annu Kapoor and Lisa Haydon; Director: Abhishek Sharma; Rating: ****
W
ho says remakes can never be as good as the originals? Abhishek Sharma’s new-age rendering of Basu Chatterjee’s Shaukeen is a smartened-up avatar of the original. It’s the smartphone of the current generation as compared with landline version of the comedy that Chatterjee made over 30 years ago. Thanks to Tigmanshu Dhulia and Sai Kabir’s writing, the characters are spunkier and more rounded even when they appear to be as curvaceous as Haydon. In principle, The Shaukeens hijacks only the basic idea of the original film. Three 60-plus men get lustfully attracted to a PYT (pretty young thing). Incidentally, the PYT from Basu-da’s film has now metamorphosed into a sad boring housewife in The Shaukeens. A tragic bit of self-reference that makes no sense. But we are digressing. The three
over-the-hill lechers in The Shaukeens, played with dignified horniness by Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Piyush Mishra, are as dangerous as a child with a toy gun. A tone of ironical self-mocking bravado runs throughout the two-

hour comic celebration of the wrinkled libido. Not that Dhulia’s writing and Sharma’s astutely tongue-in-cheek direction spare the childlike-oldies the rod. All three actors, seen in a collective huddle of jaded horniness, give off their best performances portraying their sexually famished characters with a mix of childlike guilelessness and over-ripened curiosity. A bland manufacturer of a masala brand, his two sons are shown to come forward one at time each evening, the first to offer him his meal and the other a choice between a blue and white pyjama.

Nigaar Khan excited to enter ‘Bigg Boss’ NEW DELHI: Actor Nigaar Z. Khan, who last appeared on TV in the fiction show Main Naa Bhoolungi, is set to join Bigg Boss 8 as the fourth wildcard entry. She is ready to face the challenge of controlling her tongue. The 35-year-old star, whose younger sister Gauahar won the last season of the show, has said that after Main Na Bhoolungi, she wanted to take a long gap from the telly world. But her sister advised her to take up Bigg Boss. “When I got this offer, I was not keen to do it because I wanted to continue my holiday abroad, but then Gauahar convinced me to do it. She told me that it was the right time for me to do this,” Nigaar told IANS over phone from Mumbai. Nigaar will be the new wildcard contestant to enter the show after latest entrants Dimpy Mahajan and Renee Dhyani. She knows she's going to be compared with Gauahar. “But to deal with it, she has given me a lot of tips. She has told me to be calm and be the person that I am,” Nigaar said.
Kalki and Anurag may work together MUMBAI: Actor Kalki Koechlin says she is still good friends with estranged husband Anurag Kashyap. She is also hoping to work with the filmmaker “someday”. “We still are very good friends. We still have something which nobody can take it away from us. We still have creative understanding and a lot of respect for each other. Hopefully we will work together someday,” Kalki told reporters in a group interview. The filmmaker was instrumental in launching Kalki in Hindi films with his 2009 critically acclaimed and commercially successful directorial venture Dev D and two years later he married his protégé. However they announced their
‘I doubts I’ll ever go for short hair-cut’ seperation last November. “Personal life has become personal for me. I have been open about my personal life but lot of people get hurt so it's better to keep quite,” she said. “Its important not to react.”
I’m Punjabi by heart, says Sonakshi Sinha MUMBAI: Actor Sonakshi Sinha's family hails from Bihar, but she says at heart she’s a Punjabi! “Not Punjabi by birth, but definitely Punjabi at heart (and eating habits),” Sonakshi tweeted as a plug for the new song Punjabi mast from her forthcoming film Action Jackson. The film, directed by Prabhudheva, also stars Ajay Dev. Punjabi mast is the second track to be released from the movie. It's a fun party track in which Ajay will be seen dancing. The setting of the song is a Punjabi dhaba where Ajay and Kunal Roy Kapur are seen gulping glasses of 'lassi'.
MUMBAI: Will she, won't she? Kareena Kapoor has her doubts if she'll ever agree to go for a short haircut for a movie role as she loves her locks too much. In fact, she wants to grow them longer now. “I don't know if I would chop my hair for any role, no matter how fascinating it will be. I love my hair...and by cutting them, I will lose my hair brand endorsement,” Kareena told IANS. She said she's growing her hair. Kareena, who is known to be picky about her films, has given a heads up to filmmaker Anand L Rai for a woman-centric project, which is likely to go on the floors in January 2015. “Kareena is the hero of the film. The film doesn’t have a very serious subject. It’s a woman-oriented lighthearted comedy with an intriguing storyline. It will also star several other good supporting actors, which is something that’s always seen in all of Anand’s films,” says an industry insider, adding that Kareena, 34, gave her nod to the film as she found the film’s subject very interesting. The film, based in Uttar Pradesh will be directed by Anand and will supposedly be shot in Lucknow. Currently, Kareena is shooting for her next in Delhi.

SRI SRI PROVES A CATALYST FOR PEACE FOR FERGUSON
S
BY A STAFF WRITER
T LOUIS, MO -- October 22 could rightly be proclaimed as the Art of Living Foundation and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Day in St. Louis
county. Inside Ferguson is a deep weariness -- weariness with the platitudes of leaders and activists, reporters and media outlets, politics and police and now mobs and looters. Unrest and strife has now become a fixture in this Gateway City. Known for its hallmark St Louis Arch, a beacon of hope that now seems to have the downward curve of a drooping smile. However, there were many moments to smile when Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a world renowned spiritual leader and founder of Art of Living, addressed a 1,000-strong gathering and led a meditation at an event called at ‘Corner of Peace & True Happiness’ at the St. Charles Convention Center organized by the Foundation on October 22. Beaming broadly, Mike Casewell, an ASU student in business sustainability, said: “The insight that was given by Sri Sri answered many questions I had about life and the event left me feeling content with myself.” Echoing a similar sentiment Bobby Bravo, another ASU Master’s student, said: “It was a perfect blend of sharing his insights and uniting people together in a peaceful way.” In the past at the invitation of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, an ambassador of peace and non-violence, has traveled to Iraq to advise on peace initiatives. And at the request of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, he went to Sri Lanka to act as a mediator during its civil war. He has also arbitrated conflicts in

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the Guru of Joy
Kashmir, Cameroon and South Africa and was recently invited to Israel to address the Second Israeli Presidential Conference. In St Louis, he led a peace meditation with a gathering of over one thousand people in the aftermath of the ravaged and segregated landscape in St Louis. Madhuri Karode, from Delaware, said that Sri Sri’s statements resonated with her, in particular, his remark: “We’ve spent millions of dollars on war, we only need to spend a fraction of that on peace education.” A humanitarian crisis has been simmering under the surface in this city which has been sadly named as one of the top ten unhappiest cities in the US by the National Bureau of Economic Research. It is a crisis of connectedness and human values, according to humanitarian leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who is the first world leader to focus on the individual as a part of the whole, as a critical link in building communities, leading a meditation for peace in a weary city.
The mesmerized audience
His vision and unique insights in building a stress-free, violence-free society drew this large crowd from this weary city ravaged by hate and segregation, where he led a meditation for peace. Sri Sri has mediated in conflict zones with great efficacy by focusing on alleviating individual stress. A diverse gathering flooded into the sold-out, standing room at the Peace & True Happiness event. The session was highlighted by a keynote address with Sri Sri, talking about the roots of racism, stress, and declining human values, and outlining a path to removing these through cultivating inner peace, and educating children to be part of a one-world family. He led a meditation with the huge crowd--many of whom had never meditated before--that left the room in pin-drop silence. During the audience question-answer session that followed, Sri Sri explained, “It’s time we move from infant joy where we just want to get something all the time,
Diwali Gala dinner by St Louis Gujarati Samaj
to mature joy, where our concern is what we can give. “ He stated that there was much work to do in the community, and encouraged everyone to find how they can contribute in a positive way. The Guru of Joy, as he is known, has been a catalyst of peace in war zones and violent communities alike. In honor of the peacekeeping work done by the Foundation and Sri Sri in St Louis, Craig Schmid, Chairman of Board of Alderman, read the following statement: “Now, therefore, I, Charlie A Dooley, county executive of St. Louis county, MO, due hereby proclaim, and encourage all residents to learn more about the Art of Living Foundation and some of its social programs including poverty alleviation, women empowerment, prisoner rehabilitation, education equality and environment sustainability” Indeed, a historic intersection for this city, in desperate need of meditation, as much as it requires overarching mediation.

The Gujarati community is looking forward for the community center for Samaj use, especially for Navratri and Diwali celebration. The event concluded with delicious authentic Gujarati dishes. This was followed by a live musical performance by Panorama Musical Orchestra from India. Extraordinary vocal and instrumental talents of this musical group captured and thoroughly entertained the audience for over three hours with golden oldies and new Hindi movie songs. No wonder, the event was a grand success.
ILES (IL) -- A 7-Eleven was robbed at gunpoint early on November 7 in north suburban Niles. Around 3:05 am, someone walked into the 7-Eleven at 7450 Oakton St. and asked the clerk about cigarettes. The Niles police said the suspect lifted his sweatshirt and revealed a handgun in his waistband. He told the clerk not to push any alarm buttons and asked for the money in the register. The clerk put money in a plastic 7-Eleven bag from behind the counter and the suspect left the store, heading east and then north on an adjacent side street. The suspect is described as a black male, standing between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-8, weighing between 170 and 175 pounds, with black hair. He was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat, a black scarf over his nose and mouth, a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, tight-fitting black gloves and white and black gym shoes. The clerk said the suspect had a white earpiece in his left ear with a wire going down under his sweatshirt.

Man pulls out gun to scare pre-teen BY A STAFF WRITER
M
ADISON, WI – A 12-year-old Madison boy has told the police that a man pulled a gun on him when he was out riding his long board in the afternoon on November 11. The boy was in a cross-walk on N. Sherman Avenue when a van driver pulled into his path, butting him off. The boy got off his board and walked around the front of the van, which was stopped. That’s when the passenger lifted up a gun and pulled the slide back, as if to chamber a round. The boy fled to a friend’s home and told his parents about his frightening encounter. The police were notified the next day. A description of the vehicle is a white van, possibly a Dodge Sprinter, with a green design on the sides and back. The victim says the design looked like
vines. The driver of the vehicle was a white female, in her 30’s, with light brown hair pulled into a ponytail. The passenger was a black male, also in his 30’s, with a large build. He’s described as having puffy hair worn under a flat brimmed baseball cap, and was wearing a black sweatshirt or jacket.

MASSMUTUAL HONORS DIWALI AND BUSINESS TRADITION OF CHOPDA PUJAN
No-Cost Seminars Help Business Owners Secure Their Futures and Protect the Next Generation

BY A STAFF WRITER
PRINGFIELD, MASS., Almost three million Asian Indians in the United States celebrated Diwali, the festival of lights, on Oct. 23. For the more than 300,000 Asian-Indian owned firms* in the U.S., the holiday takes on an added dimension, as the celebration marks the beginning of a new business year. To help business owners prepare for the New Year ahead, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) is offering a series of free, no-obligation business seminars in five cities across the country this Diwali. In a special Diwali ritual for businesses known as Chopda Pujan, new account books are opened and blessed. Business owners use this time to reflect on the past year while looking ahead to new opportunities for prosperity and wealth. It is said the goddess of wealth, known as Lakshmi, visits the homes of devotees on this day, and lamps light the way to welcome her. A MassMutual study** found that although 77 percent of Asian Indian business owners believe financial planning for their business is very important, only 43 percent are concerned about who will run their businesses if they or another owner leaves, becomes disabled or dies; only 46
percent have a formal retirement plan. “Entrepreneurial businesses are vital to our growing economic recovery, so it is concerning that so many business owners seem to be sacrificing their own and their family’s financial future,” says Nimesh Trivedi, Asian-Indian Market lead at MassMutual. “With help, business owners can look past the seemingly overwhelming day-to-day demands of running their businesses and establish and meet their long-term financial goals.” To help Asian Indian business owners open their new books this Diwali and plan for a prosperous new year, MassMutual is offering a series of free video-based seminars featuring stories shared by real business owners. The vignettes explore critical business planning topics, such as passing ownership on from one generation to the next, preparing for the unexpected, the death of an owner, retaining key employees, and proper estate and retirement planning. Seminars addressing these topics critical to Asian Indian business owners were presented in the following cities across the country this Diwali: • Houston, Oct. 14 • Atlanta: Oct. 18 • San Jose, Calif.: Oct. 24 • Edison, N.J.: Oct. 29

DO-GOODERS HELP WISHWAS RAISE FUNDS BY A STAFF WRITER
N
EW YORK (NY) -- Wishwas, a non-profit organization, held its annual cocktail soiree in New York City on October 28 to raise funds for its charity. Celebrity fashion designer Naeem Khan and his wife, jewelry designer Ranjana Khan, helped support the cause by hosting a spectacular fundraiser at their fashion studio in Manhattan. The evening raised funds for the charity via ticket sales and auction items. Wishwas is a New York City-based non-profit organization focusing on two initiatives; empowering low-income immigrant women assimilate within society and training them in vocational skills to make them financially self- sufficient. “I am so touched and honored for the support Wishwas has received from our community. The funds we raised at our gala will help us a great deal to better the lives of so many women.” says Wishwas Executive Director, Nivedita Chandrappa.

PAKISTANI HELD IN TALIBAN TERROR CASE SUES US GOVT BY A STAFF WRITER
M
IAMI (FL) -- Irfan Khan, a naturalized US citizen from Pakistan with wife and two children, worked hard to realize the American dream after arriving in this country in 1994. He held jobs in South Florida as a taxi driver and service technician, and operated a limousine company. He was an avid cricket player. Then he stepped up to a California computer industry job in 2011 that promised a good living. A short time later, Khan was indicted, along with his father and brother — both Muslim imams at South Florida mosques — with conspiring to provide up to $50,000 to the Pakistani Taliban terror group. Khan spent 319 days in solitary confinement before federal prosecutors abruptly dropped all
Irfan Khan charges in June 2012. “It was very, very hard,’’ Khan said of his days spent praying and reading in a lonely cell. Later, a federal judge ordered the acquittal of Khan’s brother for lack of evidence, although their elderly father, Hafiz Khan, was convicted at trial and sentenced to 25 years behind bars. He’s serving that time at a federal prison in
North Carolina. Now, Irfan Khan is suing the US government for malicious prosecution, accusing authorities of essentially manufacturing a non-existent case against him. He is seeking potentially tens of millions of dollars in damages. A Miami federal judge refused the Justice Department’s attempt to get the case dismissed, and it’s headed for a June 2015 trial date. Khan has had trouble opening bank accounts, leasing a car and getting a mortgage. His children, haunted by their father’s arrest, fear the police. Friends and family shun him, asking that he delete their phone numbers, fearing they too will be targeted for surveillance. “Everywhere I look is a dead end for me,’’ Khan said. “I was unfairly targeted and I don’t want this to happen to anybody ever again. I just want justice.’’

Top trends for hair blowouts IANS, LOS ANGELES
W
ith everyone getting their hair blown out for everyday events and even just to go to work, there is no other option but to follow the coolest trend. It is important to pick the best trend. Jenny Randhawa, the franchise partner of the Blo Blow Dry Bar in the lower mainland of British Columbia, answers some of the common queries related to top blowout trends for fall, reports huffingtonpost.com. * What are the top trends for blowouts this season? - Texture! Lots of layered waves brought into pieces. Some of it is a bohemian wave with a more polished finish, also known as mermaid waves. Super sleek or undone and dishevelled ballerina buns and deep side parts are very on-trend right now. * How can a person effectively communicate what they would like do with their blowouts? - Bring in a photo. Words like texture, wave and curl can mean
different things to different people! Make sure you have prepared yourself by looking at pictures for inspiration and really think about what you want the end result to be. Hand gestures when explaining your desired style also help!
* Is there anything that a person should not do before a blowouts appointment? - Avoid pre-washing and putting in product beforehand. It gives the stylist a better understanding of what your hair needs if your hair is fresh before the blowouts. If there is a product you love, bring it in for the stylist to apply in your hair.
Once all the other factors had been taken into account, people with the highest wellbeing were 30 percent less likely to die over the study period — living on average two years longer than those in the lowest wellbeing group. “The findings raise the intriguing possibility that increasing wellbeing could help to improve physical health,” said professor Andrew Steptoe, director of the UCL institute of epidemiology and health care. “Further research is now needed to see if such changes might contribute to the links between wellbeing and life expectancy in older people,” researchers concluded in a paper published in the journal The Lancet as part of a special series on ageing.
An app to track your sleep NEW YORK: If you need an expert to track how well you sleep, here is one that can do it from your smartphone.

Get that smoky eye in few mins LOS ANGELES: Smoky eyes is the biggest trend in make-up nowadays but getting a perfect one requires a lot of time. One can get the look in few minutes by following a few simple tips. Back away from the black eye shadow is the most basic thing one has to keep in mind and now follow few simple tips, reports huffingtonpost.com. l Pick your color: Match the color of the pencil to the color of your brows. A monochromatic palette means a natural-looking face. l Scribble on your upper lash line: Loosely apply the liner following the natural shape of your eye. Smudge toward the outer corner of your eye. This helps make smaller almondshaped eyes look larger. l Scribble on your crease : Apply the liner just halfway along the crease of

study conducted by the University of Buffalo researchers says that our feelings of love can compel us to do harmful and sometimes violent things to other people, even when they have not afflicted us personally. “Under certain circumstances, feelings of warmth, tenderness and sympathy can, in fact, predict aggressive behaviors,” said the researchers. Two neuro-hormones appear to be among the mechanisms contributing to the counter-intuitive response. “Both oxytocin and vasopressin seem to serve a function leading to increased approach behavior. People are motivated by social approach or getting closer to others,” said Michael J. Poussin, associate professor of psychology. The researchers conducted a two-part study consisting of a survey and an experiment. The survey The study was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

Scripts choose me, not Sanam performs stunts for vice versa: Dinesh
‘Kalaivendhan’ The actor will be seen playing double role in the film IANS, CHENNAI
S
outhern actor Sanam Shetty, who had her first tryst with action in upcoming Tamil thriller Kalaivendhan, says she thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing stunts for the “first time ‘There are in her career”. intense action “There are some intense action scenes in the scenes in the film and I film and I enjoyed doing thoroughly them. These enjoyed d o i n g were shot in t h e m . Madurai’ These were shot in some dense forests in Madurai. What’s even more exciting is that I managed to pull off the stunts without a dupe,” Sanam told IANS. Sanam will be seen playing dual roles in the film, which is directed by Parasuram. “One of the characters I play is a traditional girl from the 1970s, while the other one is a modern-day college girl. I really liked the scope for performances both these roles had to offer,” she said. The film also features Ajay and Kalabhavan Mani in important roles.

‘Need to thank KV Anand for Shamitabh’ IANS, CHENNAI
A
ctor Dhanush, who recently completed shooting for R. Balakrishnan-directed Shamitabh, on November 9 said that he could be part of the project because filmmaker K.V. Anand allowed him to take out time to shoot for it while working on his upcoming Tamil film Anegan. “I was working on Anegan when I got the offer to work in

Shamitabh. I was amazed by the film’s script but didn’t know how I would take out time to shoot for it. But K.V. Anand sir was kind enough to adjust his dates for me to work in Shamitabh,” Dhanush told reporters here. Anand, who is known for lacing social issues in his stories, has for the first time attempted a fulllength romantic film that is set against the backdrop of different time zones.
IANS, CHENNAI
A
ctor Dinesh, who has proved his mettle in unique Tamil films such as Attakathi and Cuckoo, says scripts choose him and he never goes in search of them. He points out that forthcoming Tamil comedy Thirudan Police is the latest example. “People keep asking me how I choose different scripts each time. I think scripts choose me. I never go in search for them. If a director feels I’m perfect for his script, he comes to me and I accept if I like it,” Dinesh told IANS. Aishwarya Rajesh plays the female lead in Thirudan Police.

When Nayantara didn’t mind working with a newcomer IANS, CHENNAI
A
ctor Aari, who is just a few films old in Tamil filmdom, is extremely happy that popular southern actress Nayantara didn’t have any qualms of working with a newcomer like him in upcoming Tamil supernatural thriller Night Show. “ I’ve just started my career and at this point, to even work with a star like her means a lot,” Aari told IANS. “I think I need to thank her for agreeing to work with me. It’s not every day you find star actors willing to work with newcomers,” he added. She plays a mother in the film. She came on board because the producers felt someone with great screen presence could only pull off the role. Aari is currently busy shooting for another Tamil film Maane Thene Peyae. Nayantara
‘Appuchi Graamam’, a scientific-fiction story in ‘Malgudi Days’ style IANS, CHENNAI
D
ebutant filmmaker Vi Anand describes his forthcoming Tamil movie Appuchi Graamam, which releases in cinemas on November 14, as a science-fiction story enveloped in the style that R.K. Narayan’s Malgudi Days was told. “It’s actually a village drama with science-fiction element as the backdrop. I’ve handled this film the way Malgudi Days was shot. The filmmaking style is very sim-
ple. We’ve captured the life in a village as realistically as possible and never tried to enhance the viewing experience with any gimmicks,” Anand told IANS. The film’s script was inspired by a newspaper article Anand read in his childhood. “The article was about a small village near Erode (in Tamil Nadu). When news about ‘end of the world’ broke out, people in this village were so much in panic that they decided to celebrate every living minute. They started celebrat-
ing with family and friends because they felt that might be their last day on earth,” he said. “What inspired me was that how the news about the ‘end’ had so much effect on the lives of these people in the small village. The core idea of the film is that when we know about the time and day of our death, we tend to be different from how we used to live,” he added. Anand decided that the only way he could talk about the ‘end of the word’ in his story if he includ-
ed an element of natural disaster. “I stumbled upon research information that meteorites and asteroids are among the top ten threats to mankind. Thus, the sci-fi angle was justified,” he said. “I never wanted to do a story about an asteroid hitting a village. It’s the other way around. I wanted to capture the human emotions when death is upon us and we can’t do anything about it. When tsunami struck us a few years ago, there was so much of drama in it required for a film’s story,” Anand added.
