one with Rajiniknath, Radhika Apte and ‘China actor’ Wilson Choa, one in which he is staring at a gun in his hand, one where he is sitting on a sofa and one showing him with sunglasses in side profile, have been the popular ones. About “Madaari”, Irrfan also said: “The film is a thriller, the film is talking about you. It is talking about 150 crore people, that there is a hero in every person and when that person wakes up then no one can face that person.” About the experience of working with director Nishikant Kamat, he said: “It felt very good. Nishinkant Kamat had made a film ‘Drishyam’, before that he made ‘Force’ and before that he had made ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’, and we had worked together on that film. We got the opportunity to work again in this film.”

Present at a mall in Mumbai for the promotion of the film, Irrfan, asked about the similarity between the films’ posters, said: “Even I didn’t know that. We are small filmmakers, I saw that Rajinikanthji’s film stole the poster of our film. You see his film’s poster and see our film’s poster. No big deal about it.

MUMBAI: Filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, who presented Aamir Khan in the famous eight-pack abs look in “Ghajini”, decided to add a temporary scar on Sonakshi Sinha’s face for her role in “Akira”. He says it was done to depict the character’s painful past. The film’s poster features Sonakshi with a scar near her right eye. Explaining the reason behind it, Murugadoss said in a statement: “In life, every scar that occurs on our body has a story behind it.

Her character hails from the town of Jodhpur, and arrives in Mumbai to further her education and with hopes to erase the scars of an unsettling childhood. But unknown to her, Akira finds herself in the middle of a crime. Suddenly, she stands to lose everything - her family, her friends, even her own sense of identity as she becomes the hunted.

US hails India in MTCR Washington says Delhi has demonstrated a sustained commitment to nonproliferation and has an effective export control system in place IANS, WASHINGTON

he US has welcomed India joining as the 35th member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), saying New Delhi has demonstrated “a sustained commitment to nonproliferation”. Elizabeth Trudeau, director, Press Office, at the US State Department, to a question also said that all the MTCR members, including the US, agreed that India’s membership “would strengthen international nonproliferation”. She said: “India has demonstrated to all MTCR partners a sustained commitment to nonproliferation and it has a legally based effective export control system that puts into effect the MTCR guidelines and procedures and administers and enforces such controls effectively. “All 34 current members, including the United States, agreed India

BRIEFS: CIA chief warns of Istanbul-style attack WASHINGTON: US Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan warned that the Islamic State (IS) terror group wants to conduct Istanbul airport-style attack in America. "I am worried from the standpoint of an intelligence professional who looks at the capabilities of IS... and their determination to kill as many as people as possible and to carry out attacks abroad," Brennan said on June 29. "I'd be surprised if IS is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the US," said Brennan. At least 42 people were killed and over 200 others injured in a deadly terror attack that hit Ataturk Airport on June 28 night.

Women hail ruling on abortion rights WASHINGTON: Thousands of women celebrated the verdict of the US Supreme Court against a controversial Texas abortion law as the greatest victory in the past three decades. "Today (June 27), women across the nation have had their constitutional rights vindicated," said Nancy Northup, president of the Centre for Reproductive Rights, a lawyer representing the clinics affected by restricted abortion law in Texas.

met the standard and that India’s membership would strengthen international nonproliferation,” she said. On June 27, India became the 35th member of the global anti-proliferation bloc which would not only ensure transfer of high-end missile technology to the country but also give it a license to export arms.

MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

The embassies of France, The Netherlands and Luxembourg conveyed news of India’s accession to the Indian government. The MTCR membership is seen as a step forward in India’s recognition as a legitimate nuclear power after New Delhi conducted its atomic tests in 1998. India had applied in 2008 for the membership of the elite club that

controls exports in missile technology and unmanned delivery systems of atomic or other weapons of mass destruction. The group was set up in 1987 to limit the spread of unmanned systems for delivering weapons of mass destruction. India’s long wait to join the MTCR actually ended in Washington earlier in June during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s US trip when a deadline for members of the grouping to object to India’s admission expired on June 6. None of the group’s 34 members raised any objections, paving the way for India’s smooth entry into the bloc of which China is still not a member. China along with other nations like South Africa, Norway, Brazil, Austria, New Zealand, Ireland and Turkey last week blocked India’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) — one of the four multilateral export control regimes.

‘Don’t throw tantrum after NSG setback’ BEIJING: A Chinese daily on June 28 urged India not to throw tantrum after failing to join the NSG and said Western adulation had made New Delhi “a bit smug in international affairs”. The Global Times said that at least 10 countries, not just China, had opposed India’s attempt to become a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) at Seoul. It said India wanted to be the first exception to join the NSG without signing the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty (NPT). “US backing adds the biggest impetus to India’s ambition. By cosying up to India, Washington’s India policy actually serves the purpose of containing China,” it said. “The US is not the whole world. Its endorsement does not mean India has won the backing of the world. This basic fact, however, has been ignored by India.” Saying some Indian accusations do not make any sense, it said New Delhi’s reaction seemed to indicate their national interests can override principles recognized by the world.

Kerry says Iran helpful in fighting IS terrorism IANS, WASHINGTON

espite strained US-Iranian ties, US Secretary of State John Kerry has praised Tehran for being “helpful” in the mission to stamp out the Islamic State terror group in Iraq. Asked if Iran’s influence in Iraq was “more helpful or more harmful” at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, Kerry gave an unexpected response. “Look, we have challenges with Iran as everybody knows and we are working on those chal-

lenges,” RT online quoted Kerry as saying. “But I can tell you that Iran in Iraq has been in certain ways helpful, and they clearly are focused on IS, and so we have a common interest, actually.” Islamic State’s power has been on the wane in Iraq, particularly in the volatile Anbar province, where a coordinated effort by Iraqi ground forces and American air power has weakened it. The Americans believe that cooperation between Tehran and Washington can only go as far as fighting

the IS, each for its own ends. The US has also accused Iran of helping the Americans in Iraq in order to quietly secure a route to its allies in Syria. The Obama Administration is currently split on some key

issues regarding Tehran. The US Treasury and State departments are at odds over just how much financial support Iran should be entitled to following the recent landmark nuclear deal.

Neither major party candidate inspired much confidence from voters, as 48 per cent said they were confident that Clinton would do right by the US and 51 percent said they did not think so.

special report INTERNATIONAL

Race is back on the front

Most of those who voted to ‘Leave’ in Brexit did so because they feel they are being robbed by migrants; racial hooliganism has been given an encouragement which is a worrying factor BIKRAM VOHRA, LONDON

ritish pride won the day. But is there a fall round the corner, one predicated on isolation and a loss of 350 billion pounds (around $475 billion) in potential ties to the European Union (EU)? It was an exciting journey and now that the train has chugged into the platform, a divided nation has to stiffen that upper lip, put its sharpest ever controversy into the sheath and move on. Let this vote not become a splinter in the side. Colonial arrogance did play a part and much of the United Kingdom that voted to ‘Leave’ have done so because they feel they are being robbed, in many ways, by the migrants and, after the pound stops

NEWS DIGEST EU to block itself as a single market to UK BRUSSELS: European Council President Donald Tusk on June 29 said leaders of the 27 EU countries have agreed that they would not grant Britain access to the block's single market if the UK did not accept EU's rules on free movement of people. "Leaders made it crystal clear that access to the single market requires acceptance of all four freedoms including freedom of movement," Xinhua news agency quoted Tusk as saying after the conclusion of a two-day summit of EU countries' leaders. Tusk's remarks were echoed by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Brexit talks to be triggered by next PM LONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that he will not trigger Britain's exit talks with the European Union (EU) but leave the issue to his successor. Britain will discuss with the EU and examine all the ways following the historic referendum but the incumbent British government will not initiative Britain's exit procedure, he said during a press conference on June 28 after an EU summit, Xinhua news agency reported. The negotiations between London and Brussels on how to deal with the vote and the decision to trigger a British exit may only be made by "next cabinet" and "next prime minister", he said.

spinning, the flinty finger of accusation for all its ills will be pointed at the Asian and African migrant masses that have made UK their home. It may not be another Brixton,

but racial hooliganism has been given an encouragement and it will be a worrying factor. Race is back on the front burner. The unofficial referendum clearly

reflects the British state of mind and its exhaustion with being just another cog in a broken EU wheel. The grandiose idea of an economic club has pretty much collapsed. New age politics seem to hinge on more parochial values and deeper identity with the shrill nationalism. Emotion seems to have leaked into the political packaging and all the pundits underestimated that quotient in their estimates. Britons want Britain for the Brits. If there is a price to pay, they seem ready to go Churchillian once again and fight in the streets (one hopes not literally) and will take it on the chin so long as they ‘get back’ their country. It is not xenophobic to recognize that the high level of tolerance that Britain usually shows has been whittled to the bone and the ‘friggin’ furriner’ is now a legitimate

target. That immaculate patience has drained away. The borders will close. Ironically and sadly this has happened against the expected run of play at a time when Donald Trump is singing much the same tune from across the pond. The same day Obama has lost the immigration Bill on a tied vote that affects 11 million illegal immigrants in the US. This British referendum, to a large extent, is a racial one and while we might all put the 350 billion pound spin on it and play let’s pretend it is really a vote for underscoring the ‘them’ and’ us’ factor. Remember two elements. Scotland and Ireland have their own agendas and have voted to stay in the EU because that’s the logical step towards independence.

Let’s face the music B ANASUDHIN AZEEZ, LONDON

ritish voters have spoken and they have spoken clearly and loudly to exit from the European Union. The next three months will be crucial for the country when the new team at 10 Downing Street begins their talks to find out new deals to protect the country’s interests. But the question is how united the Kingdom will be to begin the talks. The Balkanisation has already started as Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has mentioned a Second Independent Referendum and Northern Ireland First Deputy Minister Martin McGuinness seeks a vote on an Irish border for a United Ireland.

English and Welsh voters chose immigration over the economy, and, perhaps inadvertently, switched allegiance from Prime Minister David Cameron to a group of largely untested right-wingers who have no plan for managing the political — and potentially, economic — chaos that will now ensue. The prime minister has quit and the opposition leader is facing a trust vote. Cameron is a victim of his own success. His targets to meet the net migration failed because the economy was doing well to prevent more to leave Britain. It also attracted thousands to its shores to test their luck and find better opportunity. The immigration issue was about numbers coming from Eastern Europe — about people who

‘Goans living in Britain need help’ IANS, PANAJI

ollowing the Brexit vote, the Goa government should help Goans who used Portuguese passports to settle in the UK, a political party in the state said on June 24 . “We are with you. After Brexit, we @GoaForwardParty empathize with Goan diaspora facing uncertainity in the UK. Goa government must swiftly set up a task force to help Goans,” legislator Vijay Sardesai of the Goa Forward Party tweeted. In a statement issued here, the Goa Forward, a newly formed political party, said Goans who might be forced to come back to the state of their origin should be given all assis-

The Portuguese Consulate in Goa tance. Several thousand Goans, who obtained Portuguese nationality via a unique Lusphonian citizenship clause, are among the 3 million European citizens residing in the UK. They face an uncertain future after Britain chose to quit the Euro-

pean Union (EU). Goa was one of the oldest colonies of Portugal and was liberated by the Indian Army from colonial yoke in 1961. After the liberation, all Goan natives were granted Indian citizenship by the union Home ministry via a common notification. However, the departing Portuguese preserved their link with its former colony by allowing those living in Goa during their regime to register their birth in Portugal and avail themselves of citizenship and Portuguese travel identity documents. The privilege was later extended to two more generations of Goans.

by daily front-page stories regarding migrant invasion, there is no surprise if people ask a differentlyskinned person about their trip to “home country”. The impact of Brexit on three million British Asians, especially the 1.6 million Indians, will be enormous.

European integration put on pause: Obama WASHINGTON: Britain’s decision to leave the EU has put the project of full European integration on pause, President Barack Obama said on June 28. Barack Obama Obama told American media organization NPR that Brexit has led to an over-reaction across the globe. “I think that the best way to think about this is, a pause button has been pressed on the project of full European integration,” the US president said.

‘World now appreciates India’ India’s foreign policy has been strengthened by the fact that a government with full majority has come after a long time, the Prime Minister said during an interview IANS, NEW DELHI

he world accepts now that the brunt of terrorism India faces emanates from Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said. For a long time the world did not recognize terrorism as a problem, Modi said during an interview to TimesNow on Monday. “For example, on terrorism, the world did not buy India’s terrorism theory for long. They at times said it is your law and order problem. “Today the world has to accept what India has said about terrorism. The world is now accepting the losses India has faced because of terrorism. We have to take it forward from here,” he said. “With whom would you decide the ‘Lakshman Rekha’ in case of Pakistan? With the elected government or with other actors?” Modi asked. He said “India has to be alert all the time” vis-a-vis Pakistan.

NEWS DIGEST ‘Gujarat govt behind meet cancellation’ PANAJI: The Gujarat government and the BJP threatened members of a traders body in Surat into cancelling a July 10 meeting to which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had been invited as they are nervous about the AAP, Kejriwal said on Thursday. “The businessmen say they are getting calls from Gandhinagar, saying if Kejriwal is called, then they will be destroyed. So due to pressure by the Gujarat government, all these meetings are being cancelled,” the Aam Aadmi Party leader said during an interaction with editors in Panaji, Goa.

NIA questions six IS suspects again HYDERABAD/NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency quizzed six Islamic State (IS) suspects for a second day on Thursday for their alleged role in plans to attack locations across Hyderabad, an official said. The second round of questioning of Syed Naimath Ullah Hussaini, 42, Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan, 29, Mohammed Ataullah Rehman, 30, Abdul, 32, A.M. Azhar, 20, and Mohammed Arbaz Ahmed, 21 took place at an undisclosed location in Hyderabad. The NIA had earlier questioned them on Wednesday, after picking them along with five other suspects from Hyderabad.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India can now speak to China eye-to-eye despite having a whole lot of problems.

explain to the world any more what is India’s role. The world is appreciating India’s role in one voice,” Modi said.

“It is becoming difficult for Pakistan to reply, we can see that.” In a wide-ranging interview with TimesNow television, the Prime Minister urged the media to stop looking at everything from the Pakistani prism and said Indian troops “have full freedom to answer back in whatever manner they have to” in the event of border clashes. He said India can now speak to China eye-to-eye despite having “a whole lot of problems”. India’s foreign policy has been strengthened by the fact that a government with full majority has come after a long time, the Prime Minister said. Modi said that it was important to realize that it is no longer a bipolar world, and that India gives a lot of importance to small nations. “The biggest factor that has empowered this foreign policy is that for 30 years we had unstable governments, there was no government with clear mandate.

The Finance Minister said salaries of government employees were now “distinctively higher” than private sector workers.

The leaders and countries of the world have a different perspective of India,” he said. Modi said that when he took office, the world did not know him, and had they seen him from the media’s perspective, they would have been confused. “So, as long as I had not met the world leaders and talked to them, they would not have known the Prime Minister of India. I was not a member of a political family. I was new, so being proactive was important for me,” he said. Modi also said that the fact that the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of External Affairs, and other ministries are working together has given our foreign policy a cohesion.

New Digital Literacy Mission soon for 60mn in rural India

The government plans to launch a new digital literacy mission scheme for rural India to cover around 60 million additional households within the next three years IANS, NEW DELHI

ndia will soon launch a Rs 1,800 crore ($265 million) Digital Literacy Mission for 60 million people in rural areas as another initiative to bridge the gulf between those who have access to and can use computers and the Internet and those who don’t, a top official has said. “The government will spend Rs 300 each on training 60 million people, which would total around Rs 1,800 crore,” said Dinesh Kumar Tyagi, chief executive officer, of CSC e-Governance Service India, a holding company to fund and monitor India’s common services centres scheme. “These 60 million people form almost 40 per cent of our rural population. The government target is to make each of these 60 million rural people digitally literate in three years. An approval from the cabinet is expected by end-July,” Tyagi told IANS in an interview. CSC e-Governance Service India has been promoted by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology to also implement

the National Digital Literacy Mission that is tasked with IT training for 52.5 million people -- or one person in every family. The National Sample Survey Organisation found in 2014 that 94 per cent people in rural India do not own a computer. Accordingly,

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had proposed steps to address the issue once again during his budget speech in February. “We need to derive greater benefit from our demographic advantage. We need to spread digital literacy in rural India. Out of 168

million rural households, as many as 120 million households do not have computers and are unlikely to have digitally literate persons,” Jaitley had said. “We now plan to launch a new Digital Literacy Mission Scheme for rural India to cover around 60

million additional households within the next three years,” the finance minister had said. Tyagi said that the new scheme will be separate from the National Digital Literacy Mission towards which the CSC e-Governance Service India has already trained three million people across the country till date. “This year, with the help of village level entrepreneurs, another 2.25 million people will get training. These common services centres are delivering government-to-citizen and business-to-citizen services to the semi-urban and rural people,” he said. A key component of the Digital India initiative, common services centres are access points for the delivery of various electronic services to villages, thereby contributing to a digitally and financially inclusive society. “The objective of these centres is to provide non-discriminatory access to e-services for rural citizens, utilising the backend infrastructure already created in terms of other mission mode projects,” Tyagi said.

Himachal to begin breeding snow leopards in captivity IANS, KUFRI

he breeding of the highlyendangered snow leopard in the Himalayan nature park in this picturesque Himachal Pradesh resort is set to begin with zoo authorities in Darjeeling agreeing to lend it a pair. “The Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park in Darjeeling is providing us a pair of snow leopards for conserving bloodlines of the highly endangered species in the participatory zoos,” state Chief Wildlife Warden

S.S. Negi told IANS. “We are waiting for permission from the Central Zoo Authority (CZI) to bring one male and one female leopard to Kufri,” Negi said. “After matching their bloodlines,

The snow leopard population is estimated to be 28 in Spiti and its nearby areas, and 29 in the rest of the state we can go for their breeding at Kufri,” he added. Besides the Darjeeling zoo in West Bengal, a zoo in Sikkim and Uttarakhand each are the other places in the country with elusive snow leopards, a species whose survival is

challenged by poaching and habitat loss. In 2004, snow leopard Subhash and his sibling Sapna were brought to Kufri, 15 km from the state capital Shimla, from Darjeeling under an exchange programme. Officials said the breeding programme couldn’t be initiated as they belonged to the same bloodline. Sapna died of disease in 2007. Earlier, a female snow leopard had died in Kufri zoo. That feline was discovered as a cub by the shepherds in the Spiti Valley in LahaulSpiti district in 1998 and was reared in the park. After remaining in forced celibacy since his maturity, Subhash was shifted to Darjeeling in 2013 for the ongoing breeding conservation programme. “After initial hesitation, Subhash is now part of the programme,” said an official.

Indore-born Rajesh Agrawal was appointed as London’s Deputy Mayor following the referendum which snapped UK’s links with the European Union ANASUDHIN AZEEZ, LONDON

Indian American helps create novel tech NEW YORK: Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have developed a technology that may aid in driving drugs or nanoparticles to injured areas of the brain, leading to new therapeutics for traumatic brain injuries. “Current interventions for acute brain injury are aimed at stabilizing the patient by reducing intracranial pressure and maintaining blood flow, but there are no approved drugs to stop the cascade of events that cause secondary injury,” said lead author Aman Mann from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in California. His team found a peptide sequence of four amino acids, cysteine, alanine, glutamine, and lysine (CAQK), that recognises injured brain tissue. In mouse models of acute brain injury, this CAQK carried the drugsized molecules and nanoparticles to the damaged areas.

“I stepped on a plane for the first time 15 years ago to make the journey to London and found a city that welcomed me with open arms and didn’t make me feel like a stranger,” Agrawal said. Khan has assigned Agrawal with championing London’s interests following the referendum which snapped UK’s links with the European Union and protecting jobs and growth even as negotiation process takes place. The Mayor praised Agrawal. “I know that Rajesh is the best person

Indore-born Rajesh Agrawal, appointed to the post on June 29 by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, said: “Having run my own global businesses, I know how important it is that London remains welcoming to European and international trade.” Agrawal, an entrepreneur and innovator, is the founder and CEO of Xendpay, an international money transfer service, and RationalFX, an online foreign exchange service -both of which have grown into globally successful businesses. He will step down from the posts to focus his attention on the job at hand. A father of two, Agrawal is the Chair of Oxfam Enterprise Development Programme, a trustee of Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, and a patron of the Prince’s Trust. He arrived in London in 2001 and grew a two-person enterprise working from a small office into a multi-million pound business based in London, with offices in Birmingham, France and Spain.

The new Deputy Mayor said: “London’s openness to talent and enterprise must not change as a result of the referendum.”

A brand new way to cut violence against women NEW YORK: Manufacturers of feminine hygiene products, including tampons and sanitary products, could generate vital funds for effective programmes that prevent violence against women, say researchers led by one of Indian origin. Physical and sexual violence is a public health problem that affects more than one-third of all women, equivalent to at least a billion women globally, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Consequences of such violence include physical injuries, psychological trauma and also results 43,500 untimely deaths a year worldwide, the researchers said. Effective programmes and strategies to prevent domestic and sexual violence are “hugely underfunded,” said S.D. Shanti, Associate Professor at A.T. Still University in the US. The tampon making industry with its “huge market of essential goods”, could dedicate a part of their revenues to support public health programmes that prevent violence against women. Global annual sales of feminine hygiene products are projected to total $15.2 billion by 2017. On the other hand, lost productivity related to such violence against women diminishes the world’s gross domestic product by 3.7 percent. Even 0.5 percent of sales when donated to the United Nations could generate huge vital support for programmes in desperate need of funding, Shanti added. The United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women received grant requests of

$1.1 billion. However, they were awarded only $8.4 million — less than 1 percent of the demand. This scenario highlights the widespread problem of insufficient funding for public health in general and especially for violence against women because of the stigma attached, Shanti explained. While any business can support the prevention of violence against women, the tampon manufacturing industry is “uniquely positioned to engage in corporate social responsibility by investing in the health of women, and reducing the harm and costs associated with violence,” Shanti said. “It is only right that tampon manufacturers give something back to their customers, as long as these costs aren’t simply passed on to consumers,” Shanti noted.

‘Thanks India for gifting Priyanka to the world’ SUGANDHA RAWAL, NEW DELHI

hey are fascinated with the culture and history of India, but more than that they are awestruck with the talent of Bollywood’s ‘desi girl’ Priyanka Chopra. Brian Q Quinn, on behalf of his popular American comedy troupe The Tenderloins, says Priyanka is a “worldwide treasure”, adding that no one can ever “pay back India for gifting” her to the globe. The historical side of the country never ceases to amaze many, and Quinn shares that it “blows our American mind”. He also says that America is “a baby country compared to India”. “Every Bollywood movie looks like the most fun movie ever made, and if that was all we knew of Indian cinema, it would be enough. But then you guys gave us Priyanka Chopra, who we can all admit is a world-

wide treasure,” Quinn told IANS in an e-mail interview from New York. Priyanka is on a global high, and scaling new heights with each move. After making a place for herself in the west with her musical skills, the actress landed into the foreign television space with “Quantico”. Then came her presence at the Oscars and an honor at the People’s Choice Awards. Now, all eyes are on her Hollywood debut film “Baywatch”. Quinn added: “Personally speaking, we will never be able to pay back India for gifting Priyanka to the world. She really is something special. Thank you, India. Thank

you so much.” He also hopes to “appear as Priyanka Chopra’s love interest in a Bollywood movie”. Quinn is now adding an Indian twist to his professional front. The Tenderloins, better known as Impractical Jokers, will be hosting a digital comedy challenge titled “Sprite Comedy Konkout by Culture Machine”. Culture Machine, a digital media company, has got the New Yorkbased comedy troupe comprising Joe Gatto, James Murray, Sal Vulcano along with Quinn — on board. The group will throw an open challenge to India’s digital comedians to find out the best from the lot. Talking of the association, Quinn said: “We are going to challenge these amazing talents to do what we do best, embarrass themselves in the name of laughter. We have no idea how the people of India are going to react, which is why we are so looking forward to seeing what they come up with.”

7 states face water shortage

Women’s panel summons Salman

Telangana’s reservoirs are at 2 percent of capacity, Maharashtra’s at 5.6 percent and Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka at 9.5 percent ABHISHEK WAGHMARE, MUMBAI

f 11 states ravaged by drought in 2016, seven — Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana — had less than average water in their reservoirs in June. Levels in dam reservoirs were no more than 10 percent of capacity for four of the 11 states as June ended, according to the data with the Central Water Commission. This is despite the fact that eight of the 11 had average rainfall in June; rains were 30 percent short of the average normal in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Maharashtra.Telangana’s reservoirs are at two percent of capacity, Maharashtra’s at 5.6 percent and Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka at 9.5 percent, which means South Central India is particularly

Court orders Mallya to appear on July 29 MUMBAI: A Mumbai Special Court on Wednesday ordered Vijay Mallya, head of the defunct Kingfisher Airlines, to appear before it on July 29 regarding money laundering cases filed against him. Special Judge P.R. Bhavake told Mallya, now in Britain, to appear before him at 11 a.m. on July 29.

In the Proclamation Order published in Mumbai newspapers, Judge Bhavake said Mallya had committed an offense punishable under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. Attempts to serve an arrest warrant on Mallya failed as he “cannot be found” at a care of address of Kingfisher Airlines office in south Mumbai. The Special Court was satisfied that Mallya had “absconded and is concealing himself to avoid the service of the (arrest) warrant” as per the order. Earlier this month, the court declared him a proclaimed offender. Mallya, 60, owes over Rs.9,000 crore to various banks. He left India on a March 2 using a diplomatic passport and is currently in the UK. The Enforcement Directorate is also seeking to invoke the India-United Kingdom Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to extradite Mallya.

short on water. Maharashtra, with a 33 percent deficit in June rainfall, was the worst-hit state at the end of June. The situation in 2016 is a reminder of the 2009 drought that wreaked havoc with India’s economy by pushing inflation to double digits. But much will depend, experts

said, on how the monsoon progresses over the next three months. Although reasonable rainfall was reported from Maharashtra’s central and southeastern Marathwada region, a traditionally droughtprone area, reservoir levels remain at one percent of capacity — as they have been since a month — an

unprecedented situation. Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh were four of 11 drought-hit states that reported more-than-average water in their reservoirs. The southwest monsoon hit India eight days late, breaking over Kerala on June 8, 2016, instead of June 1. It reached Mumbai on June 20, 10 days later than it usually does. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh received more than average June rainfall till June 23, according to India Meteorological Department data. While monsoon rains are underway in southern and eastern India, and most of the central plains, Gujarat and Rajasthan have got little or no rain. Despite higher-thanaverage rainfall in June 2016, all states reported uniform shortfalls over the 2015 monsoon season.

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra State Women’s Commission (MSWC) on Wednesday rejected a reply by Bollywood actor Salman Khan on his recent rape comments and summoned him in person on July 7, a top official said here. In his letter dated June 28 - submitted through his lawyer - Khan said that since the matter is before the National Commission for Women, it should not be continued with MSWC to avoid duplication. “We have concurrent powers just the way the NCW has. This matter can be heard at the state level too. Therefore, his version is invalid,” said MSWC Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar.

The Pakistan delegation arrived here as part of an ORF project ‘Tasveer-e-Karachi’ and ‘Tasveer-eMumbai’ under which five photographers each from both countries will exchange visits as “messengers of peace”, Kulkarni said. The Pakistani delegation comprises Malika Abbas of Dawn; Farah Mahbub, a fine art photographer and educator; Amean J., a fashion photographer; Mobeen Ansari, a photojournalist and storyteller; and documentary photographer Malcolm Hutcheson. The Pakistani photojournalists arrived in Mumbai on June 20 for a 10-day trip, while the Indian photojournalists will visit Karachi in early July.

We haven’t locked the date yet, but we plan to release the Malayalam version in Kerala in July.

‘Akira’s scar is due to her painful past’ MUMBAI: Filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, who presented Aamir Khan in the famous eight-pack abs look in “Ghajini”, decided to add a temporary scar on Sonakshi Sinha’s face for her role in “Akira”. He says it was done to depict the character’s painful past. The film’s poster features Sonakshi with a scar near her right eye. Explaining the reason behind it, Murugadoss said in a statement: “In life, every scar that occurs on our body has a story behind it. Similarly, Akira has a past wound that has dried up and remains a scar now.

“The moment we see her face we should come to know that she has had a painful past. That’s why I created the scar under her eyes.” Sonakshi is said to have performed high-octane action scenes for the film, which is the remake of Tamil film “Mouna Guru”. Her character hails from the town of Jodhpur, and arrives in Mumbai to further her education and with hopes to erase the scars of an unsettling childhood. But unknown to her, Akira finds herself in the middle of a crime. Suddenly, she stands to lose everything - her family, her friends, even her own sense of identity as she becomes the hunted. Now she has only herself to trust, and she needs to find the strength within her to stand up for what is right and prove her own innocence and attain justice.

fter getting embroiled in a controversy over his ‘rape’ analogy, Salman Khan seems to have adopted a new funda - “to keep it short”. The superstar says it is better if he talks less. At a press conference to mark the opening of the 17th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) here on Thursday, the “Kick” star took the stage to talk about his experience at the four-day gala till now. The actor said: “I know it has been a long evening, So I will make it short, quick.” Prompting a woman from the audience to yell out “no” and urged him to be on stage for a bit longer. The actor hinted at the ongoing

“rape” stir when he said: “I have to make it. The shorter I keep, the better it is.” Salman courted controversy after he said during a media interaction that he felt like a

“raped woman” walking out of a ring in his role as a wrestler in his upcoming film “Sultan”. He later said, “I don’t think I should have” and explained that he found it

hard to walk. Salman who came into the limelight following his act as Prem in the endearing love saga “Maine Pyar Kiya” in 1989, is one of the biggest box office draws in the country. Salman is no stranger to controversies, be it the infamous 2002 hit-and-run case or the Blackbuck hunting case. More recently, Salman stirred a hornet’s nest by opposing the death penalty for 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon in 2015. He retracted the tweet later on. He also faced flak when he was named the goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent for the Rio Olympics to be held later this year. The superstar was seen sharing jokes with actors like Shahid Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone.

When Deepika hit the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards stage here on Saturday night and chose one of Ranveer’s song from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial “Bajirao Maastani” to

Leela to Ram, Mastani to Bajirao. I want to know which is next. Girl, you are so fine and by fine I mean a fine performer. What an actor!” “Nothing makes me happier than you, Deepika. Nothing makes me happier then receiving this award with you,” he added. There were reports that the

rumoured couple broke up after Deepika visited Ranveer in Paris. However, the “Lootera” star put

an end to the rumours by sharing a cryptic message on Sunday on Twitter.

BRIEFS I don’t want to conquer the world MUMBAI: While Bollywood actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are making a splash in the West, their contemporary Kareena Kapoor Khan has no such ambitions. The actress says she has no ambition to go globe-trotting with her talent and is happy to have “a little place of her own”. “My priorities are very different. The kind of work that these girls have put in, you need to have that kind of dedication of wanting to achieve so much and do it so wonderfully. I don’t want to conquer the world but I don’t mind having a little place of my own. It’s as simple as that,” said Kareena. The actress is currently riding the success of “Udta Punjab”.

Madhuri Dixit breaks down on TV show MUMBAI: Bollywood’s dancing diva Madhuri Dixit Nene got emotional and broke down after seeing a performance revolving around Parkinson’s disease on the sets of TV show “So You Think You Can Dance ‘Ab India ki Baari’” here. Contestants Shampa and Ryan moved everyone with their phenomenal act. “Shampa is really talented and the way she showed the effects of Parkinson held our attention. I feel in our society there are so many people who need support from their family who face Parkinson’s. It was a very touching and an emotional performance,” Madhuri said in a statement. Madhuri, often called the ‘Dhak Dhak Girl’ of Bollywood, is a judge on the TV show, which is aired on &TV channel. Popular choreographers Terence Lewis and Bosco Martis are her fellow judges.

‘Raman Raghav 2.0’: Cleverly crafted, compelling

aman Raghav 2.0” is Anurag Kashyap’s take on the psychotic serial killer Raman Raghav who terrorised Mumbai during the late 1960s. He had apparently bludgeoned 41 people to death using a bent iron rod. This is not a biopic but a twisted fiction that encapsulates the life of two soulmates; the scar-faced serial killer Ramanna who also called himself Sindhi Dalwai, and the addicted to drugs Police Inspector, Raghavendra Singh Ubbi who was initially investigating the killings. Narrated in a linear fashion and set in 2013, the narration begins in a nightclub with pounding music

Film: “Raman Raghav 2.0”; Director: Anurag Kashyap; Cast: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vicky Kaushal, Sobhita Dhulipala, Amruta Subhash, Ashok Lokhande and Mukesh Chhabra; Rating: ****

and free flowing drugs. Raghavendra, high on drugs, leaves the nightclub with a woman he picked up that night. En route to his residence, he

stops in Kidwai Nagar to pick up more drugs. But when he lands up at the residence of his drug supplier, he realises that the old man has been attacked brutally. Raghaven-

dra does not hesitate to take advantage of the situation by stealing his drug supply, but not before murdering another intruder who lands up at the crime scene minutes later. This scene forms the prologue to the drama, which is encapsulated in eight chapters that unfurl with gripping flourish of how Ramanna stalks Raghav and their lives are

intertwined. It also overturns expectations in the finale, to create an impactful and convincing drama. The story, written by Anurag Kashyap and Vasan Bala, is typically Anurag’s overture. Their plot is packed with grisly crime, dark characters in forbidding territory and dialogues that humourously engage the audience. It broadly deals with the morality of killing, which is seen from two aspects; that of an unhinged killer and the other from the view of a lawkeeper. But it is Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ramanna and Vicky Kaushal as Raghave. Overall, “Raman Raghav 2.0” is a cleverly crafted and compelling film.

Bal Vihar of St. Louis celebrates Yoga Day BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO -- The Center for Indian Cultural Education, also called Bal Vihar of St. Louis, hosted the 2nd International Day of Yoga on June 26 in St. Louis, MO. The event aimed at highlighting the important role healthy living plays in the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted last year by all 193 UN Member States. Last year, Bal Vihar celebrated the 1st International Day of Yoga on June 21. The event was held at the Mahatma Gandhi Center, located in Manchester, MO, between 8 am and 12:30 pm. It was a great success, with close to 175 people participating and collectively performing about 1750 Sun Salutations. Bal Vihar youth and families, school yoga teachers, local community leaders, leading professional yoga instructors, and many community people from all walks of life, participated in Sun Salutation sessions and in workshops in Iyengar Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Chair Yoga. The workshops were very popular and well attended. Under the guidance of the

school yoga teachers, children’s yoga was conducted on the lawns. The event concluded with an interesting panel discussion by experts in Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Shivananda Yoga. The event not only educated people on the health benefits of yoga and encouraged them to take better care of their health, but also gave participants yoga tools to relieve stress, chronic aches & pains and to relax. Bal Vihar has entered into its 24th

year of service, with the enrolment of 400-plus students for the upcoming school year 2016-2017, and has served more than 2000 children in the Metro St. Louis Indian community.

Diana and I are thinking of those who were injured or suffered property damage in the storms and send our prayers to you’, he said. “The Illinois State Police are on patrol offering assistance to local law enforcement. A special thanks to our first responders and volunteers who have been working tirelessly throughout the night to ensure the safety of our citizens,” the Governor added.

Hillary has soft corner for STEM graduates BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, DC-As President, Hillary Clinton would support the automatic granting of green cards, or permanent residency, to foreign students who earn advanced STEM degrees in the US. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said she wanted the US to “staple” green cards to the diplomas of non-citizens who earn master’s or Ph.D. degrees in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering or math) “from accredited institutions.” This agenda is big on improving computer science education and is modeled after some of President Barack Obama’s efforts, such as training 50,000 computer science teachers in the next 10 years. But the topic that may get the most focus is immigration. Clinton’s “staple” idea isn’t new. It’s what Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP Presidential nominee, supported. It has had bipartisan support in Congress. Broadly, a diploma/green card policy would allow new graduates to bypass temporary H-1B work visas and move from student visas to green cards. The graduates will need to have jobs lined up in order to qualify, and the proposals may require a waiting period. Clinton’s plan has no specifics. Even so, the idea is controversial. Critics will say the provision would be hard to control, could foster age discrimination and is likely to put pressure on IT wages. If a “staple” policy went into effect, colleges would likely recruit foreign students

into advanced degree programs with the promise of green cards. Former US CTO Todd Park argued for a staple provision while at the White House. “Today’s advanced STEM graduate could be tomorrow’s world-class, world-changing scientist,” he wrote in a blog post. The tech agenda unveiled by Clinton doesn’t address the H-1B visa program. Clinton has been silent on what she would do about the temporary work visa; her comprehensive immigration plan doesn’t address it either. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has said in his platform that before green cards are issued to foreign workers “there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers.” But Trump, during a GOP presidential debate in Detroit in March, seemed uncertain about how to handle international students who graduate from US schools.

Swaminarayan Temple’s mite for poor patients BY A STAFF WRITER ECAUCUS, NJ -- Congregation members of the Secaucus Shree Swaminarayan Temple spent their June 25 afternoon volunteering with MedShare International, a fellow nonprofit organization committed to improving healthcare and the environment through the recovery and redistribution of surplus medical supplies and equipment to those most in need. The North East Regional Headquarters is located just a few short steps away from the temple and members of the temple were thrilled to partner with a neighboring nonprofit organization with similar core values of service, giving, and being environmentally conscious. The volunteers packed over two tons of medical supplies for underserved hospitals and clinics in Ethiopia, Mauritania, New Guinea, Turkey, Ecuador, Nigeria, Guatemala, and Kenya. In total, the volunteers packed over 2,500 units of medical supplies in 324 boxes with a total weight of 4,102 pounds; a record for the North East Regional MedShare Headquarters. James White, regional director for MedShare, when describing the organization, said that “MedShare is a volunteer-based organization which collects surplus medical supplies from hospitals, doctors, and distributors. We have three sites with only 47 employees and the 19,000 volunteers truly make it

possible. So far, we have shipped 1,345 containers to over 97 countries and these figures are constantly growing.” While explaining the impact of doing service at MedShare, James White explained that, “These gloves or any medical supplies you are boxing, will directly reach someone in need. Your fingerprints will go half way across the world to help someone you don’t even know.” Tushar Patel, a temple spokesman who coordinated the service trip, stated that “We were contacted by MedShare and asked if we would be interested in partnering

up and we had a preliminary discussion regarding both of our organizations. “What intrigued us was the fact that we would be physically doing our part to contribute to MedShare and the medical supplies that we packed would be used by volunteer doctors, medical organizations, and hospitals in underprivileged parts of the world. “We are always open to partnering up with any great cause but this one was just steps from our very own headquarters which made it a no-brainer to volunteer there and build an even stronger community bond.”

Indian prof gets funds for lung cancer study BY A STAFF WRITER OS ANGELES, CA -- Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) professor Dr. Animesh Ray has been approved a grant by the Department of Defense for a study on lung cancer drug resistance, which aims to examine the emergence of therapy resistant forms of lung cancer using state-of-the-art advances in genomic technology. The proposed research study by Ray is titled “A novel approach to understand and prevent the evolution of drug resistant lung cancer cells: A feasibility study,” according to a press release by Californiabased KGI.

The reemergence of drugresistant lung cancers in patients who initially responded to the therapy is a major cause of death. Many lung cancer patients who exhibit the spread of cancer to other parts of the body do respond well to treatment with antiDr. Animesh Ray cancer drugs. But it has been documented that the cancer can return aggressively, having

developed resistance to the drug(s) used to treat the original cancers. There is an urgent need to understand and prevent such re-emergence of drug resistant cancers. Ray has been a professor at KGI for 15 years. He noted that throughout his career he had always been interested in how genomes rearrange to evolve new functions. The idea of this research project is based on a National Science Foundation-supported previous study he completed in his lab on a model organism-baker’s yeast-that showed there exists a previously unappreciated degree of robustness in the genome to deleterious onslaughts.

UW professor honored with physician award BY A STAFF WRITER EATTLE, WASH. -- Dr. Rashmi Kumar Sharma, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Washington, was honored with the 2016 Hastings Center Cunniff-Dixon Early-Career Physician Award on June 15 at the UW campus in Seattle, Wash., for improving palliative care. The award was presented by Matthew A. Baxter, founder of the Cunniff-Dixon Foundation. One of three doctors to receive the award nationally, Sharma is particularly interested in the way race/ethnicity influences doctor-patient communication about end-of-life care in the hospital.

racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and gender differences.

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses and focuses on optimizing quality of life and supporting patients and families as they navigate complex medical decisions. Palliative care addresses a patient’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs in the setting of any serious illness. The Cunniff-Dixon Foundation was created in 2005 in honor of Carley Cunniff and in recognition of Dr. Peter Dixon, her attending physician during the three years she battled with breast cancer. Sharma received her M.D. at UW and an M.H.S. from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She lives in Kirkland, Wash., with her husband, Vikrant, and daughter Amaya. Born in Pullman, Wash., her parents came to the US from India in 1970 as graduate students.

BY A STAFF WRITER OWA -- The Republican Senator from Iowa, Chuck Grassley, has come up with a method to ‘punish’ so-called recalcitrant countries, which includes India. Referring to those who allegedly refuse to take back illegal immigrants caught by the Department of Homeland Security, he said: “Stop issuing any kind of visas, including Green Cards, H-1B, F-1 student and visitor visas.” Grassley is not exactly on the same lines as his more famous Republican Party member Donald Trump, who has proposed a ban on visas on all countries who have terrorist links, but his declaration is a highly controversial one, especially since the list of countries he is proposing to introduce this ban includes India, one of the key allies of the US. Grassley wants to discontinue issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas to citizens from 23 countries, including India and China, while accusing them of being non-cooperative in taking back illegal immigrants. “Dangerous criminals, including murderers, are being released every day because their home countries will not cooperate in taking them back,” Grassley wrote in a letter to the Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. In fiscal year 2015 alone, 2,166 individuals were released in the US because of this decision by recalcitrant countries who refuse to take back their nationals, Grassley, who is also the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, said. He added that more than 6,100 were released in the preceding two years. Currently, the top five recalcitrant countries are Cuba, China, Somalia, India, and Ghana, Grassley said. In addition, US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is monitoring another 62 nations where cooperation is strained, but which are not yet deemed recalcitrant. In the letter to Johnson, Grassley reminded him that Congress addressed this problem when it enacted section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. “Under section 243(d), the Secretary of State is required to discontinue granting immigrant or non-immigrant visas to a country upon receiving notice from you that the country has denied or is unreasonably delaying accepting a citizen, subject, national or resident of that country,” he said. He added: “This tool has been used only once, in the case of Guyana in 2001, where it had an immediate effect, resulting in obtaining cooperation from Guyana within two months.”

IYD, a poor show in Chicago

Hi India Team

he Second International Yoga Day(IYD) was celebrated by the Consul General of India in Chicago on June 25 in the City of Sandwich, a city 65 miles away with a good 90 minutes’ drive from the City of Chicago. The celebration was inaugurated at 10 am by Consul General and preceded by the remarks by Hardik Patel, chief information officer of State of Illinois, Swami Ishatmanandji of Vivekanand Vedanta Society and Deepak Kant Vyas, owner of Timber Creek Inn. The owner of the Inn contributed the whole cost of event, including, hall, free rooms and food served to participants and event attendees. The City of Sandwich officials, including Mayor, Police Chief, Economic Development Director, eight Aldermen, Nimish Jani, graced the event and addressed the attendees.

While Consulate General tried feebly and faintly to convince, support and justify the location of the event--Timber Creek Inn in City of Sandwich--and could not quench the curiosity of the community for the selection of the location. Consul General urged the participants to join hands to spread the message of peace, harmony and understanding among communities. Hardik Bhatt, CIO of Illinois State appreciated the efforts and outreach to celebrate and expressed his support for the cause of yoga. A special band, march past and Guard of Honor done by City Of Sandwich army veterans was spectacular. The national anthems of India and USA were played for the occasion. Many speakers expressed the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional benefits of Yoga. The powerful oration by Swami Ishatmanandji was of motivating and informative about yoga. Consul General(CG) of India, and team of more than thirteen supporting organizations, miserably failed to attract

the participant/attendees. The pathetic attendance of around 300 or less at the inaugural session, were addressed by CG. He stated that now Yoga had become a people’s mass movement, though unfortunately It was seen missing in Chicago land area celebration. The participation for the event thinned to around 100 by the lunch time and

invited more than 35 people on stage for the release of commemorative souvenir for the occasion, with a welcome message by Deepak Vyas. Inviting people on the stage was a gesture of thanking participants for their generous support to the Consul General Office. Many proclamations were read on

and justify the location of the event-Timber Creek Inn in City of Sandwich-and could not quench the curiosity of the community for the selection of the location. Many in community praised the efforts as it had promoted Yoga as well as City of Sandwich and the Timber Creek Inn located within. In his speech at the evening pre-event dinner, Consulate General justified that Sandwich City was an ideal location for Yoga celebration as it has corn fields, good greenery and other natural scenarios to relish while driving. The event organizers failed to understand the importance of International Yoga Day on June 21st and its geographical importance. This day is taken with utmost sincerely globally except Chicago. Yoga is practiced and message is spread on this day. Unfortunately no sincere efforts were made to spread the message of Yoga, awareness of Yoga, training and teachings of Yoga in Chicago in comparison to other cities in the world. Failure to connect with the community and poor organizing skills were prevalent. The Yoga celebration flyers, brochures and press releases claimed that there will be 3000 participants but only 300 people attended the celebration--a mere 10% of the projected and declared numbers.

The Yoga celebration flyers, brochures and press releases claimed that there will be 3000 participants but only 300 people attended the celebration--a mere 10% of the projected and declared numbers the whole event was wrapped up early though the organizers had an elaborate plan up to 4.30 pm. Many detailed mini programs were organized, but either the places designated were not visible or the participation was less to none. The departure of Consul General to inaugurate and participate in another sports event by 2 pm might have had an adverse impact on the overall attendance at Yoga celebration and parallel activities. Consul General profusely expressed his gratitude to the owner of Timber Creek Inn and City of Sandwich to collaborate with his office and donate free rooms for overnight stay of CG and his invitees, food and the hall. After his address and the lamplighting ceremony, message of Prime Minister was displayed. Consul General

the occasion which included Governor of Illinois State, Mayor of City of Chicago, Mayor of Sandwich and Village of Oak Brook and prominently by Deepak Kant Vyas, owner of Redberri Industries, based in St Louis, MO. Deepak Kant Vyas, owner of Inn said that he and Consul General of India share the same city of birth in India. He proclaimed that Timber Creek Inn had all the modern facilities and urged the community to patronize the Timber Creek Inn and City of Sandwich. After the initial opening ceremony, around 100 attendees participated in meditation and yoga practice under the instructions of many devout yoga professionals. While Consulate General tried feebly and faintly to convince, support

W h a t ’s m o r e , t h e r e w a s n o participation from the mainstream news media to take the message to the communities and spread the word about yoga both before and after the Yoga Day event. Many other cities in Midwest – Carmel and Indianapolis in Indiana, Minneapolis in Minnesota and Madison in Wisconsinorganized IYD (International Yoga Day). Mayor of Sandwich City Rick Olson issued a special proclamation to proclaim June24-25, 2016 as International Yoga day at Sandwich City. A book exhibition, photo exhibition, screening of documentary on History of Yoga, Surya Namaskar demonstration, Chair Yoga, Raj Yoga Hath Yoga and Yoga for beginners was also scheduled for the event.

Don’t go..! After Chile edged out Argentina to retain Copa America crown, Messi announced his retirement from national team only to attract pleas from fans to not to quit playing in country colors

Messi should not quit: Maradona

IANS, EAST RUTHERFORD

F The diminutive dynamo from the city of Rosario in central Argentina made his international debut in 2005 as an 18-year-old. He has played 113 international matches and is the highest ever scorer for his country with 55 goals.

India beat Ireland 2-1 in Six Nation Hockey Tournament VALENCIA (SPAIN): A defiant India managed to hold back minnows Ireland 2-1 in the second match of the Six Nation Hockey Tournament here on June 28. After a below-par show in the opening game against Olympic gold medallists Germany, India put on a fight through efforts from forward Talwinder Singh and skipper Sardar Singh in the 22nd and 32nd minutes respectively while midfielder Kyle Good managed the solitary goal for Ireland. In the first quarter, Ireland began the proceedings on a promising note to take a 1-0 lead in the very fourth minute of the match. India bounced back well in the second quarter, creating chances and with much

ootball fans around the world were left dumbstruck after Argentina and Barcelona icon Lionel Messi announced his international retirement following Argentina’s heartbreaking loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final here. “It’s not meant for me. For me the national team is over. I’ve done all I can, it hurts not to be a champion,” the five-time World Footballer of the Year said after the match at the MetLife Stadium here on June 26 night. “It’s a hard moment for me and the team, and it’s difficult to say, but it’s over with the Argentina team.”

For a player used to winning everything in sight at the club level with FC Barcelona, Messi’s international career followed a depressingly familiar pattern of disappointment and underachievement. With Barcelona, Messi has won eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues. But his only major international honor is the 2008 Olympic gold, with Argentina now having lost three major finals in three years. Argentina were beaten 0-1 in the 2014 World Cup final by Germany before two Copa America final defeats by Chile on penalties. He was also on the losing side against Brazil in the 2007 Copa America final. Messi’s last appearance at the international stage followed a simi-

lar routine as Argentina were by far the superior team throughout the tournament only to inexplicably lose their scoring touch in the final against a team they had beaten 2-1 in their campaign opener. The defeat against Chile left Messi distraught and almost in tears as the Chilean players and fans burst into wild celebrations all around the stadium.

Shastri did wonderful job, coach’s job not permanent: Kumble IANS, BENGALURU

N improved defense to get the equalizer in the 22nd minute. Forward Talwinder Singh made no mistake in converting a penalty corner chance to make it 11 going into half time. Coming back from the break, India were on the aggressive as a clever deflection from skipper Sardar Singh gave the team the much-needed lead in the 32nd minute.

BUENOS AIRES: Argentina legend Diego Maradona has requested Lionel Messi to reconsider his decision of quitting international football. Messi on June 26 said Diego Maradona he was done playing for the national team after suffering Copa America final loss against Chile. “Messi has to stay in the national team. He will go to Russia in form to be world champion,” Maradona was quoted as saying by La Nacion. “He has to rely more on boys who can help take the team forward and less on those who say they have to go,” Maradona said.

ew Indian cricket team head coach Anil Kumble has no grudge against Ravi Shastri, his main competitor for the post and both are in good terms. Shastri was a bit bitter over the selection process and had complained that Sourav Ganguly, one of the three members of the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee with Sachin Tendulkar and V.V.S. Laxman that picked up the new coach, was not present during the interview process. “It is a privilege to coach the Indian side but he (Shastri) was aware that it is not a permanent position.

Nobody is permanent in this role,” said Kumble. To a question about Shastri being dissatisfied, Kumble said he was the first person to call Shastri up after he was chosen as the head coach. The

legendary leg-spinner emphasized that he was also dropped from the team in the past as a player and was also not chosen for some tours. “Ravi did a wonderful job as the Indian coach. It is not about Anil Kumble or Ravi Shastri as head coach, it is all about players, the team.” “Ravi congratulated me and said I had a fantastic young team to train,” he said. “My point of view is whether it is me or any other Indian who is following the team, we want it to do well and perform at its best. We all believe that potential is there for the Indian team to dominate in all three formats,” the 45-year-old said.
