Banning rape documentary "international suicide" for India..? India committed "international suicide" by banning a documentary about the gang rape and murder of a woman in Delhi, the director of the film said after a Friday night screening in London. India last week prohibited the release of the film "India's Daughter" and also asked video-sharing website YouTube to remove all links to the documentary. Police said the ban was imposed as comments in the film by one of those convicted of the crime created an atmosphere of "fear and tension" and risked fuelling public anger. "My whole purpose was to give a gift of gratitude to India, to actually praise India, to single India out as a country that was exemplary in its response to this rape, as a country where one could actually see change beginning," said Leslee Udwin, director of the documentary, during a panel discussion. "The supreme irony is that they are now accusing me of having wanted to point fingers at India, defame India, and it is they who have committed international suicide by banning this film." The British filmmaker said she was inspired to make the film after watching thousands of people take to the streets across India to protest the December 2012 rape and murder of a young physiotherapy student on a bus. India toughened its anti-rape laws in response to the outcry following the fatal attack but a rape is still reported on average every 21 minutes in India, and acid attacks, domestic violence and molestation are common. "India's daughter" features an interview with Mukesh Singh, one of four men sentenced to death for the rape, torture and murder of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus. In the film Singh blames the victim for the crime and resisting rape. Singh's comments grabbed headlines in Indian newspapers and sparked outrage on social media. Some people have questioned whether the convicts should have been given a forum to express their views. Udwin said that banning the film brought India into disrepute by obstructing free speech, one of the essential elements of democracy. The filmmaker said that if she was given a chance she would persuade India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow the screening. "If (Modi) spent one hour seeing this documentary, he would see his own statements since he got into power reflected in this film. The film is saying exactly what he's saying with his 'Beti Bachao' campaign," said Udwin, adding that she was still in shock about the ban. Launched in January, the "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao" (Save the Daughter, Teach the Daughter) campaign is aimed at improving India's child sex ratio, which skews toward boys due to sex-selective abortions, and gender equality through access to education. Udwin said she was hopeful the film would eventually be screened in India and appealed to Modi to "be a hero globally" and stand up to his statements promoting gender equality. The filmmaker said her documentary was designed to unleash a global campaign to stop violence against women and to promote their rights. A website, which was a part of the campaign, was scheduled to go live on International Women's Day on March 8, however Udwin said that a company behind the website design has pulled out because of "all the fuss" around the film. It was unclear if the website would still be launched as planned.

Dirty Politics: Poor man’s Raajneeti Deepika, Salman to work together
Agency : Mumbai First, what a terrific
ensemble! The cast is a dream wish list for any
filmmaker in the country who prefers actors to stars. Yes, it also has Mallika Sherawat but even she has raised her game to not look out of place in the company of such seasoned actors. It also helps her that the actors themselves have dropped their game, given how dated the film feels. Dirty Politics, that often feels like a poor man’s Raajneeti, given the scores of extras crammed into every frame, should have rightfully been called The Eighties. Every bit of this film — story, structure, sensibility, stunts and moral — is from an eighties film. But then what else can you expect from the director of Aaj Ka Arjun and Phool Bane Angaray?
Agency : Mumbai There is no actress in Bollywood who does not want to work with supertsar Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone is no exception. The stunning actress has delivered three super hit films with Badshah of Bollywood - Shah Rukh Khan, but she is yet to work with Salman and Aamir Khan. Reports claim that Deepika is all set to share screen space with 'Dabangg' Khan in a film titled 'Sultan'. Earlier, it was reported that the two will come together for Karan Johar's 'Shuddhi'. But rumours are now strong that both Deepika and Salman
will be seen together in 'Sultan' directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. But the makers

recently, couldn't find the time to go on a proper honeymoon. But the newly

What was interesting is that Soha's brother and sisterin-law, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, joined the couple in Kabini. We had carried a report earlier that Saif and Kareena were spending time with friends in Bengaluru. It was only later revealed that they were actually here to join Soha and Kunal in Kabini.

World Cup: Pacers bowl Pakistan to stunning win over South Africa Agency : Auckland Pakistan`s trio of left-arm pacemen bowled their team to a thrilling 29-run win over South Africa on the Duckworth/Lewis method as they revived their bid for a World Cup quarter-final place in Auckland on Saturday. Rahat Ali grabbed a career-best three for 40, while Mohammad Irfan (three for 52) and Wahab Riaz (three for 45) were also in the wickets as South Africa, chasing a revised target of 232 in 47 overs, were dismissed for 202 in 33.3 overs.

Silver also fell sharply by Rs 500 to Rs 36,300 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial users and coin makers. Bullion merchants said apart from slackened demand from jewellers and retailers, a weak global trend amid the US economy adding more jobs in February than forecast, has cut demand for the precious metal as a safe-haven, leading to fall in gold and silver prices.

ICC unlikely to look into Virat Kohli matter Agency : AUCKLAND The Indian media is crying hoarse about Virat Kohli's tirade at an Indian journalist in Perth, but the ICC is unlikely to take any stand on the issue. The ICC has received an official complaint from the journalist concerned, but one understands that the world body will leave it at that. There's unlikely to be any movement on the issue and ICC is hoping that the storm will blow over. "It's a matter of one game and once Virat scores all will be forgotten," an official said, adding:
With this win, the world No. 3 Indian improved her career record against the Olympic silver medallist to 2-8. The performance also helped Saina to equal her best showing at the prestigious Superseries event. Saina, who has entered the last four previously in 2010, however secured a statement-making victory over Yihan who she has most struggled to beat in her career. Saina will meet World No.18 Sun Yu of China for a place in the final.

Agency : perth India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that a big deal is made out of Suresh Raina's susceptibility to short-pitched bowling and stressed that the UP lad is the best bet to bat at No.5 since Yuvraj Singh vacated that slot. Asked about Raina's same mode of dismissal as he failed to cope with a rising delivery when he was caught behind off Dwayne Smith for 22 against West Indies, Dhoni strongly defended the lefthander's case. "It's the media that makes a big deal of this. Batsmen from other countries also get out to the short-pitched deliveries but it is something that is put only on our head – he (Raina) is the one who gets out to the short ball, bowl short to him. I think he is batting well," said Dhoni after India's four-wicket win against West Indies at WACA. Dhoni also emphasised the need to have Raina at the No.5 position for India's plans after Yuvraj Singh consistently did well in that position. "Just look at the
history of Indian cricket and the number of people who have batted at No.5 and just check how many have been successful? Yuvraj Singh must be the only player, who did consistently well for us and then he got promoted to bat at No 4. Otherwise, we have kept shuffling people. You will have to ask some of the batsmen who have batted at that number – Virat has batted at that number, Rohit has batted, and nobody has been really successful. "So Raina is the best that we have got and we need to back him. Because if you don't back him, the new guy who comes, he will be like, let me bat for myself and that's not a good habit

to grow. We don't want that to happen in our team." He then explained what he means by batting for selfish reasons. "If you are batting in the 40th over, how much can you score? And if you get out, you will get out for 20-25 runs. So at the end of the third game, we would hear things like, "he is not scoring, he is out of form, he is only making 20 runs! "But that's the point where the strike-rate is more important because if you keep emphasising this point, then the batsman starts playing for himself. He can think "Yaar, why should I play an extra shot and get out? Already 45 overs have gone, let me stay 30 not out and be happy.
MCA issue notices to Suryakumar Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan Agency : Mumbai The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has sent show cause notices to batsmen Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan for their alleged misconduct. "The Managing Committee decided to issue the show cause notice to these two players and sought their explanation. Surya had a run-in with a Mumbai fast bowler, while Sarfaraz showed an indecent gesture in a match," MCA secretary Nitin Dalal. Yadav, 24, was the Mumbai skipper during the start of the season but had quit mid-way following a huge defeat against Tamil Nadu. While, 17-year old
Khan, had made an inappropriate gesture during the semifinal match against Rajasthan in the U-

Agency : Perth First of all, I would like to congratulate India on a thrilling win against the West Indies in Perth. Chasing 180-odd, when Virat Kohli was batting, I was smiling as he looked in so much control. He was certainly happy with the low target. It brings me to the first
point. How can you win the toss and bat first on a bouncy wicket like the one at WACA? I thought it was a very good toss to win, knowing exactly how the Perth wicket behaves. Every West Indies' fast bowler relishes the prospect of bowling on such pitches and, therefore, I was
dismayed that the West Indies batted first. "To my belief, West Indies' batting is its strength in comparison to its bowling, and I was disappointed that they could not put it to good use on a bouncy Perth wicket. When you look at how well the bowlers did defending a small total, maybe they could have done so while bowling first, and we would have had a much different scenario." Maybe, they believed that by batting first, using their strength first, they could play India out of the game. Maybe they thought, why not put runs on the board and put pressure on the Indian team.
Agency : BENGALURU Former world number one Martina Hingis says the future of her partnership with India’s top player Sania Mirza would depend on the results they get on the WTA circuit. Sania split with Chinese Taipei’s Hsieh after playing only four tournaments together this
season. Hingis said since the two of them play different styles of game, it should suit them. “Sania and I can be competitive as a pair because our style of tennis is completely different. Sania is good from the forehand side and I am known to have a really good backhand. I am looking
forward to playing with Sania for next couple of months but decision to continue with her will depend upon the kind of results we get as a pair,” Martina Hingis had recently won the Australian Open mixed doubles title with India’s doubles veteran Leander Paes. Talking about Paes, Hingis said, “Two of us compliment each other very well and that is why we were able to win the Grand Slam together.” “I played with Leander for couple of seasons in the U.S. which gave me a lot of comfort. The best quality of Leander is that he makes the woman partner safe and protected. He covers for the void created when I am not serving well.

Colours ruled the streets today as people of all ages celebrated Holi across Gujarat and joined the revelry applying ‘gulal’on each other, gorging on sweets and singing and dancing to songs and drum beats. People embraced each other wishing ‘Happy Holi’ as unseen hands squirted them with a well-timed coloured water spray. Water-filled balloons were lobbed from rooftops and balconies as cries of ‘Holi hai’ reverberated the streets.

Swine flu: Gujarat has no plans to use CM relief fund
Sunvilla News, Ahmedabad
At 302 deaths, Gujarat has achieved the dubious distinction of being the state with the highest number of swine flu casualties in the country since January 1.
However, the Gujarat Government, it seems, has no plans to tackle the problem head-on as it is yet to use the chief minister's relief fund to provide free treatment to patients in private hospitals just as the other states fighting the menace in the country. Since January 1, a total of 5,065 people, including Gujarat minister of state for health Shankar Chaudhary and assembly speaker Ganpat
Vasava, have tested positive for H1N1 virus. However, government officials say the health department has enough resources and they do not need to utilize the chief minister's fund. The state government has asked private hospitals to provide free medical aid to poor patients. The hospitals, however, are not bearing the entire cost for treatment as the patients are being only given free medicines by the
government. In Madhya Pradesh, where 150 persons have lost their lives to H1N1, 23 private hospitals in Bhopal and Indore have been instructed to provide free medical aid to the patients. The entire treatment cost is being borne from the CM's relief fund. To avail the facility, it is not necessary for poor patients to have BPL cards. They can just submit an affidavit stating they cannot afford treatment in
private hospitals. Both Gujarat and neighbouring Rajasthan account for 50% of the total N1N1 cases in the country this year. The Rajasthan Government was jolted out of slumber after former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and state home minister Gulab Chand Kataria tested positive for H1N1 influenza. The state government then asked private hospitals to give free treatment to the patients.

Delhi HC notice to govt over Satish Verma plea Sunvilla News, Ahmedabad
Delhi HC on Thursday issued notices to Gujarat government and Centre over a petition filed by IPS officer Satish Verma against the Central Administrative Tribunal's (CAT) order, which turned down his earlier plaint against his transfer to a non-police organization at Shillong. Last year, Verma was transferred as Chief Vigilance Officer of North-Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd at Shillong.

a place of convenience for transfer. Verma alleged victimization by the state government for his aggressive probe in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. Verma's counsel I H Syed said the CAT did not appreciate two letters the IPS officer wrote to the state government. On October 23, 2013, the IGP wrote that he could be posted as CVO in Delhi or Mumbai, and on June 7, 2014, he requested the state government to post him in the Central Police Organization.
