Son of man killed by militants in Kashmir cracks IIT Agency | Srinagar, Jun 30
A poverty-stricken youth, whose father was shot dead by militants when he was two months old, has cracked the prestigious IIT entrance examination but had to almost give up the idea of taking admission. Even the Rs 10,000 counselling fee was too much of an ask for 21-year-old Zahid Ahmad Qureshi. But help has poured in with the Army assuring all assistance to him to pursue his studies. “The boy will be given the required money to complete his training and we will see to it that lack of money will not be an obstacle for him to achieve his goal,” a senior Army officer said.

Horrifying Scenes From Indonesia in Desperate Search for Plane Crash Survivors
Indonesian military plane crash: Kills 100 The Hercules C-130 craft, carrying 17 military personnel, crashed two minutes after it took off Soewondo air force base into a crowded neighborhood in Medan, Indonesia. Agency | Medan More than 100 people are feared dead after a military transport plane ploughed into a residential area shortly after take-off in northern Indonesia, in what may be the deadliest accident yet for an air force with a long history of crashes. Officials said the plane plunged into a built-up area of the Sumatra city of Medan. “For the moment we know there were 113 people [on board]. It looks like there are no survivors,” air marshal Agus Supriatna told Metro TV in the Sumatra city of Medan, adding that some of the passengers were air force families.

Petrol prices were today cut by 31 paise per litre and diesel by 71 paise a litre in line with fall in international oil rates and rupee appreciation. The cut in petrol prices comes on back of three successive increases since May, while this is the second reduction in diesel rates this month. Petrol in Delhi will cost Rs 66.62 per litre from tomorrow instead of Rs 66.93 at present. A litre of diesel will cost Rs 50.22 per litre as against Rs 50.93 earlier, Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation’s largest oil company, said. Auto fuel
rates were last revised on June 16 when prices of petrol were hiked by 64 paise a litre but diesel rates were cut by Rs 1.35 per litre. “Since last price change, there has been a decrease in international prices of both petrol and diesel. Indian rupee-US dollar exchange rate has appreciated during this
period. Combined impact of both these factors warrants a downward revision in prices, the impact of which is being passed on to the consumers with this price decrease,” IOC said. Prior to June 16 revision, petrol prices were hiked by Rs 3.13 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71 per litre on May 16.

Two dead after man sets himself on fire on Japan bullet train Agency | Odawara
A man set himself on fire on a high-speed bullet train in Japan on Tuesday, killing himself and another passenger as the coach filled with smoke, a fire official said. At least 26 other people were injured, three seriously, mostly from smoke inhalation, Odawara Fire Department official Ikutaro Torii said. The man’s motive wasn’t clear. The passenger poured an oil-like substance over his head before setting himself on fire, authorities said. Kyodo News service reported that he used a lighter. Officials said the fire was
at the front of the first car in the train, which was heading from Tokyo to Osaka. “I said to myself, ‘This is bad!’” said Takeo Inariyama, a 54-year-old businessman travelling in the second car. “I saw everyone running toward me and smoke coming. Also
the smell (of smoke) filled the car. So I felt my life was in danger.” The train stopped on the outskirts of Odawara city, about 80 kilometres west of Tokyo, when a passenger pressed an emergency button after finding someone collapsed on the floor near a restroom
2 / Dt. 01-07-2015, Wednesday Editors’ Picks WEDNESday, JULY 01, 2015 US court’s gay marriage decision subordinated judicial restraint to justice and equality The United States Supreme Court made history last week when it held that the 14th amendment to the constitution — enshrining the twin mandates of “due process” and “equal protection” under the law — requires states to recognise gay marriage. The issue was bitterly divisive. As often happens, Justice Anthony Kennedy ended up casting the decisive fifth vote, subordinating judicial restraint to the requirements of justice and equality. So he should have. And so it will be remembered. In the midst of celebration, however, it’s worth pausing to take seriously the view on the other side: to cast the four dissenting opinions in their most generous light — instead of resorting to defamation or caricature — and examining, with precision, why their reasoning fails. Charitably construed, the dissenting opinions are about two forms of humility. First, there is the institutional humility of the judiciary, the branch of government least directly accountable to democratic forces, and thus, on a certain worldview, most prone to abuse its power. In this respect, the dissenting opinions take a noticeably optimistic view of the democratic process. They imagine a political landscape in which deliberation and lawmaking were flourishing — the status of gay marriage was being negotiated how, in a democracy, it ought to be negotiated: democratically — until the Supreme Court decided to step in. Beyond institutional humility, the dissenting opinions also emphasise the importance of moral humility. On this front, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote with particular solemnity, and dismay. Of the majority opinion, he had this to say: “[T]he court invalidates the marriage laws of more than half the states and orders the transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia, for the Kalahari Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the Carthaginians and the Aztecs. Just who do we think we are?” It’s an important question. Who do we think we are? In this case, as in so many, the two sides answered this question in radically — though predictably — different ways. I want to suggest that at some level, this difference underscores the tension between conservative and progressive worldviews more broadly. To begin with, Chief Justice Roberts, speaking for conservatives, clearly meant his question rhetorically. In posing it, the idea was to suggest that the majority is confused about “who they are”, about what the Supreme Court should and should not feel licensed to do. In other words, Chief Justice Roberts clearly thinks the court arrogated to itself an outsized amount of decision-making power. Who are you — five men and women in 2015 — to decide that the hundreds of generations before you got this question so achingly wrong? How easy it can be to dismantle castles, and how difficult to build something new, much less something better, in their place. What’s interesting about this approach — calling for humility in the face of longstanding practice — is that the central virtue cuts both ways. Conservatives, after all, have no monopoly on humility.

Actor Manish Vishwakarma of TV show Chidiya Ghar slips into coma
Agency | Mumbai Actor Manish Vishwakarma, who is popularly known as Mendak Prasad from the hit TV show ‘Chidiya Ghar’, has slipped into a coma after he met with an accident on Sunday (June 28).

He was taken to a nearby hospital but the doctors there were unequipped to handle with such severe injuries and suggested they take him to KEM Hospital in Parel,” said Shilpa. Shilpa further said that Manish was initially left unattended and his case wasn’t taken into priority.

Deepika Padukone skips Arjun Kapoor’s bash?
Manoj Bajpayee And Rajkummar Rao Were Also Approached For ‘Masaan’, Says Director Neeraj Ghaywan
Agency | Mumbai
Agency | New Delhi The place which was brimming with lights, camera and all the action—actor Arjun Kapoor’s birthday bash, had all the glitters of B-Town. The ‘Gunday’ actor turned the milestone 30 recently and a lavish birthday party was held where
who’s who of the Hindi film industry were seen clinging on to each other. However, if anyone was missing from the scene— it was Arjun’s ‘Finding Fanny’ co-star Deepika Padukone, reportedly. According to Times Of India website, the tall and talented actress was not seen attending the party, which was held at a plush
Mumbai hotel. While Dippy was missing from the action, the spotlight was on Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif—who came together for the bash. Another highlight of the event was the budding ‘bromance’ between Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor, reports suggest. Movie makers are you listening?
Rohit is so punctual that it’s pathetic working with him: SRK Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is working with Rohit Shetty in Dilwale in which he is paired with Kajol after a long time. King Khan says that the director’s punctuality on sets makes working with him very difficult. “I come on time as per me. According to my time, I am always punctual but according to other people, I am not always punctual,” Shah Rukh said. “Director wise, Rohit Shetty is very punctual... It is pathetic working with him. He is there five-ten minutes before time and you feel you will go there before him... Actually most directors are punctual than actors. But Rohit (in particular) is very punctual,” he said in a lighter vein. The duo earlier worked on 2013
blockbuster Chennai Express. Dilwale marks the reunion of iconic on screen couple of Shah Rukh and Kajol, who were last seen together in Karan Johar’s 2010 film My Name is Khan. The film also stars Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. “This is going to be our second last sched-
ule of Dilwale. It is a long schedule and is still going on. Varun (Dhawan) and Kriti (Sanon) are shooting a song in Bulgaria. “I will go there in five days. We have a long 30-day shoot in and around Europe. Then we come back to Mumbai for the last schedule,” Shah Rukh, 49, said at an event.
Definition of bold has changed: Zareen Khan Agency | Mumbai
Actress Zareen Khan, all set to go bold in the third instalment of Bollywood’s erotic franchise “Hate Story”, knows she’d have to shoot lovemaking scenes, but she has no inhibitions. “The definition of bold has changed today. Almost every film these days has a lovemaking scene and they are acceptable without being termed bold. Everyone is doing it. I think it stands out in my case because the franchise has the tag of being ‘erotica’. “But
honestly, if I was to do a film without lovemaking or kissing I will end up doing only mythological movies,” said the “Veer” and “Ready” actress. She says her family is very supportive of her thoughts too. “My mom is very supportive and if my family and my close friends are with me, I don’t care a damn what anyone else says about me or my image,” she added.
Neeraj Ghaywan’s film Masaan, which wowed everyone at the Cannes Film Festival this year, is slated to release in India on July 24 and though much has been reported about the film and the cast, what many might not know is that Ghaywan had some well-known actors in mind for the film. The
director recently revealed that apart from Richa Chadda, he had approached Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao for the film, but things did not work out later. However, Neeraj said that he is happy with the cast that was finalized. Masaan revolves around the lives of four people- a lower-caste boy hopelessly in love,
a daughter ridden with guilt of a sexual encounter ending in a tragedy, a father with a fading morality and a spirited child yearning for a family. Incidentally, Bajpayee and Rao will be seen sharing screen space in Hansal Mehta’s Aligarh, in which the former will play a homosexual professor and the latter will play a journalist.

Bangladesh newspaper publishes SPORTS ROUNDUP fake ad mocking Indian cricket team Agency | New Delhi Bangladesh may have taken their celebration of the momentous series win against India, a tad too far. A Bangladeshi newspaper, Prothom Alo, printed a fake advertisement for a ‘cutter’, in which seven Indian cricketers are seen standing with their heads half-shaven. Fair to say, that’s an ad that cuts a little too deep. Incidentally, before and during India’s recently concluded tour of Bangladesh, the broadcaster Star Sports ran an advertisement campaign that referred to Bangladesh as ‘Bachchas’, which means kids in Hindi. The ad even starts with an adult gully
cricketer referring to a kid as ‘Oi Bangladesh!’ ESPNcricinfo reported at the end of the second ODI which sealed Bangladesh’s series victory, the public announcement system in Dhaka belted out the “Bachcha” song. And once it ended, the announcer said: “We are not
kids, we are Tigers.” The campaign, it seemed, had touched a nerve among the Bangladesh cricketing fraternity. To be fair to the broadcaster, the ad ends with the adults saying “Bachcha bachcha nahi raha yaar!” (The kids are not kids anymore, man!), something
that turned out to be quite prescient, as Bangladesh went on to outplay India in the ODI series, winning 2-1. But one could understand why the ad hurt Bangladeshi sentiments and the retort in the stadium was, even for Indian fans, understandable. What is less understandable, however, is why a reputed Bangladeshi newspaper would put up a photo of Indian players with her heads shaved off. Young Bangladeshi paceman Mustafizur Rahman, who tormented the Indian players in the ODI series, is shown endorsing a cutter - a seemingly clever reference to his ‘offcutters’ - and the Indian players are holding a
banner which reads, ‘We have used it. You can use it too’. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan and R Ashwin are shown standing with the banner with their heads half-shaven, as Mustafizur towers over them with the cutter in his hand, as “Tiger Stationery” taunts the Indian team. While most associated with Indian cricket have been gracious in defeat - praising the home team’s fearless brand of cricket, recognising the maturity their players have shown over the past year - Prothom Alo has stretched it too far.

Facebook is monitoring videos you watch
Agency | New York Facebook has yet again tinkered with its news feed algorithm -- this time to show you more videos similar to ones you expand to fullscreen, un-mute or opt to watch in HD. Facebook would take it for granted that you loved that particular video, even if you do not like, share or comment. Those same signals will tell Facebook that a video is enjoyable so the News Feed shows it to more people, TechCrunch reported. The more Facebook understands which videos are great and which are
boring to which people, the faster it will grow its view count, which has already reached four billion per day. That is enormous growth considering it was at one billion per day in September. Just a few weeks ago, Facebook’s algorithm started factoring in how long you linger looking at posts and videos. Together with the new change, just pumping video content into Facebook won’t get you very far.Clips must be visually tantalising from their first second, and vivid even when silent as that is how they play unless you click.

Man for the job: Why Rahane is fit to lead India in Zimbabwe
Batsman Ajinkya Rahane has been chosen to lead a second-string India side for an upcoming limited overs tour of Zimbabwe, national selectors announced on Monday. Agency | Mumba Calm and reserved are two epithets one hears most while talking about Ajinkya Rahane to those who knew him well before he became an India cricketer. Yet, slotting the batsman like that may not be fair as Rahane, though mild-mannered, has transformed into a player who does not shy away from aggressive hitting. Middle-order batsman Rahane was on Monday named captain of a second-string Indian team
for a short limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe as the selectors rested key players including captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and batting mainstay Virat Kohli. From a wary young boy to an attacking batsman who took on the Australia pace attack in the Test series Down Under, Rahane’s transition into one of India’s best batsmen is an interesting story. There are instances that trigger change in a sportsman’s life, pushing him to excel beyond expectations.
In Rahane’s case, one can attribute this change to a key decision his father took during his formative years. “He had a weak constitution, and he was also very reserved,” says Madhukar Rahane. Keen to get his son into some activity that would make him fitter as well as help find new friends, Madhukar put him in a karate class at the Unity Martial Arts Center in Dombivali, a town 50 km from Mumbai City, where Rahane lived when he was very young.

I was the third opener for four series, including the 2013 Champions Trophy, but could not get a game. I have always believed in myself. It is not about competing with anybody.
I always compete with myself and I look to improve as far as I can,” the Tamil Nadu opener said. Middle order batsman Ajinkya Rahane was on Monday named captain of the 15-member team that will tour Zimbabwe in July as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli, among other seniors, were rested. India face the hosts in the first ODI on July 10.

Valuable lessons learnt ahead of quarterfinal: Van Ass Agency | Antwerp
Indian coach Paul van Ass is imploring his wards to be fast learners and take the lessons from the preliminary round into the encounter against Malaysia in the Hockey World League Semi-finals. Asian Games gold medallists India are aware of the threat posed in Wednesday’s quarterfinal contest by Malaysia, who will draw confidence for the 3-2 victory in the last encounter between them during the Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh two months ago. Starting with unimpressive wins over France and Poland, the misfiring Indians were held to a 2-2 draw by sub-continental rivals Pakistan before being at the receiving end of a 2-6 drubbing at the hands of World champions Australia in the last league match on Sunday. “We ought to take the lessons learnt from this game into the quarterfinal contest with
Agency | New Delhi
Malaysia,” said van Ass, aware that any let-up will give Malaysia an opening to capitalise upon. “We have got hammered when we did not play well, this must not be forgotten,” said van Ass, who can afford not to get too tense ahead of this encounter as India’s place in next year’s Olympic Games is not entirely dependent upon this knock-out fixture. Having already qualified for the Rio Olympics by virtue of their Asian Games gold medal, India came into the tournament with long-term perspective in mind. Giving a good show despite the presence of several youngsters is one of the tar-
gets set by van Ass. “We should be able to set the pace of the match,” said van Ass as he braces for the game against Malaysia. “Against Australia, we could do little when we got caught in the rhythm set by the World champions.” Australia, who last year completed a hat-trick of three consecutive World Cup victories, duly took their appointed position atop the Pool A standings with the maximum 12 points from four outings, while India finished second with seven points. Pakistan and France were the other two teams to make the quarterfinals from this pool.
After being selected in the limited-overs series against Zimbabwe, India batsman Murali Vijay said following couple a good run in Tests, he expected to be called up in the One-Day Internationals (ODI), and added that he would grab the opportunity with both hands that has come his way. “It is a happy feeling to make a comeback

Tough call for govt, three gates of Bhadar dam leaking water Bhadar dam which supplies drinking water to Rajkot city and other towns nearby is in discussion, not for the reason that it has been filled with water in first spell of rains itself, but for the reason that three gates of this dam don’t work and therefore huge amount of water is flowing to downstream area, and level is down. Due to huge inflow, 26 gates of Bhadar dam were opened in 6 ft measurement last week. The rain has been on halt later. While 23 gates have been shut down completely to prevent release of water to downstream area, 3 gates have suffered damage during flood and they are not working. This has caused continuous leakage of water. Even after employ-

A court set up with the express purpose of dealing with cases involving dishonoured cheques is in the dock for issuing a cheque that a bank could not honour. Sabir Ali Ansari has sought the intervention of the chief metropolitan magistrate to get his money back from the special court — the Negotiable Instruments Act court — which had fined him Rs 5,000 for a dishonoured cheque. In 2010, Ansari, 58, a resident of Gomtipur, was held responsi-
ble for a bounced cheque and was even awarded a year’s imprisonment. Ansari moved a city sessions court and was exonerated in 2012. So he sought the Rs 5,000 he had paid as fine. Just last month, the court officials issued a cheque to Ansari, which he deposited with the Bank of Baroda’s Rakhial branch. The cheque was returned three days later with a comment that it bore two dates of issuance and the drawer’s signature was required because of the discrepancy.
