Rupee weakens 18 paise against dollar Agency | Mumbai
The rupee depreciated 18 paise to 65.13 against the dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange in early trade today on buying of the US currency by importers. The dollar was firm against major global currencies which dampened rupee sentiment, dealers said. The rupee also fell due to fresh demand for the dollar from importers, but a higher opening in equity markets capped the losses, they added.
Agency | Nawada Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pitched for communal harmony and brotherhood in the country, saying Hindus and Muslims should work together to fight the common enemy of poverty and ignore “irresponsible” statements made by politicians, even if he himself makes any. In his first comments amid communal overtones in the wake of Dadri lynching incident, he invoked President Pranab Mukherjee,

Asking people to ignore the “irresponsible” statements made by politicians, he said they saying the countrymen should follow his message given yesterday on preserving the core civilisational values of diversity, tolerance and plurality. “I have said it earlier also.

Minister emphasised. Referring to the President’s remarks made yesterday, he said, “there is no bigger guidance, there is no bigger message, no bigger direction.” “These core civilization values keep us together over the centuries. Many ancient civilizations have fallen.
But that is right that aggression after aggression, long foreign rule, the Indian civilization has survived because of its core civilizational values and we must keep that in mind. And if we keep those core values in mind, nothing can prevent our democracy to move,” he had said.

How would one feel if father or brother of a person, who safeguards the boundaries of our nation are killed” asked Mulayam. Linking those guilty of 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots with that of Dadri, Mu-
layam said, “I have been informed about three names, who are responsible for hatching this Dadri conspiracy. They played a role in Muzaffarnagar riots as well. We are examining these names and would reveal them soon.” Telling that these “three culprits” would soon be exposed, Mulayam Singh Yadav said that he himself has been witness of such riots in the past and very well know how such forces spread and hopes that even Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav would also have the experience and would deal with them strictly.

Bombay HC rules in favour of Vodafone in Rs 8,500 crore tax case Agency | Mumbai
The Bombay High Court on Thursday ruled in favour of the Indian arm of Vodafone Group Plc in tax dispute over a Rs 8,500 crore transaction involving a local subsidiary in 2007-08. The ruling is likely to soothe nerves of foreign investors who are caught in similar “transfer pricing” disputes and help counter the perception that India was a difficult place to do business. The case involves sale
of Vodafone’s call centre business to Hutchison in 2007, and is different from a bigger Rs, 12,000 crore tax case involving the British telecom giant’s purchase Hutchison Whampoa’s telecom as-

Aadhaar, rights and the state
Nandan Nilekani’s plea that the Supreme Court “tweak” its order of August 11 in his article in these pages (‘Why Supreme Court judgment on Aadhaar calls for an appeal’, September 15) is innocent of the experience that people have had with the unique identification (UID) project in the past five years. Why does the court order trouble him? Has the project really been voluntary? Has the project done what is needed to protect privacy? Should the executive be given freedom to frame whatever policy it will? And, would Mahatma Gandhi have been with Nilekani in wanting the population of India fingerprinted and iris-scanned? The last is easily answered. In 1906, Gandhi was in South Africa, fighting the registration and fingerprinting of Indians in the Transvaal. This provocation led to mass resistance and protest, deliberate disobedience of the law, trial and punishment, and, as Charles DiSalvo records in The Man before the Mahatma, Gandhi was arguing: “It was not a question of thumb or fingerprints, but this was a thing that touched on their liberty.” That he would have endorsed a system where registration with fingerprints and iris-scans was pushed through on the threat of exclusion from food and fuel, schooling, old-age support, work, marriage, caste certificate, vaccination, child care — that seems a perfect description of what would not have found sympathy with Gandhi. The UID was never about individual choice. It was never intended to be voluntary; it was only intended to be marketed as being voluntary. Even in 2010, the UIDAI strategy overview document admitted that while the official line would be that enrolment was not mandated, “This will not however, preclude governments or registrars from mandating enrolment.” And that has, in fact, been the strategy. Except that the Supreme Court decided that the project needed to be reined in, when confronted with concerns about lawlessness, national security, personal security and privacy, using the population of the country to experiment with biometrics, engaging companies with dubious credentials to hold and handle our data, surveillance, tracking, profiling, the untested claims about plugging leakages and the threat of exclusion. The UIDAI and the government have responded by refusing to comply with the orders of the court, and that is how, contrary to law, the database has been built and multiple databases “seeded” with the number.

The much awaited American serial, Quantico, starring Priyanka Chopra finally premiered on 27th September, 2015. Our lovely lady, Priyanka Chopra has finally done her American TV debut as an FBI Agent, Alex Parrish. The show starts with an attack similar to 9/11 and we see Priyanka Chopra lying unconscious in the middle of the rubble.

Watch: The teaser of Thala Ajith’s ‘Vedhalam’!
Bigg Boss 9 starts airing this Sunday and speculations were rife that TV star turned Bollywood heroine Surveen Chawla will also be a part of the show this year. But when quizzed about the same, Surveen has dismissed all such rumours. Surveen, who had an illustrious television career took the big leap and started her Bollywood career with
Hate Story 2 last year. The actress has been in news for her item numbers and her Bollywood outings. Given that Bigg Boss usually gets popular faces on board, one thought that Surveen would fit the bill perfectly. Surveen who is fond of the show told, “I love watching the show but I am not fit for it.” Okay, we understand. So for all those who feel Surveen will be on Bigg Boss Nau, think again!
Thala Ajith’s Vedhalam has been the talk of the town and, at midnight, the teaser was released. Starring Ajith and Shruti Haasan, the movie is directed by Siruthai Siva.

One of Ajith’s favourite sports is racing and he had, in fact, become a race car driver for Formula 3 for a while. In the teaser, he is seen vrooming it up on a sporty bike. As for Ajith’s looks in the film, he has kept his salt-and-pepper hair. What’s different though is that he looks smart and suave, especially with that French beard which makes him look sexy.

Model-actress Mugdha Godse, who plays a powerful and dominating business woman in her upcoming film Ishq Ne Krazy Kiya Re, says she doesn’t mind play glamorous roles but would enjoy ‘an intense powerful role’ more. “I don’t mind to play ‘singing and running around tree’ roles. Though I love playing emotional, glamorous roles, but I would enjoy more playing an intense powerful role,” the actress said at a promotional event. The film is directed by Naresh Malhotra who has films such as Yeh Dillagi and Dil Ka Rishta to his credit. Mughda said, “Nareshji is an experienced director. He has made successful films long ago and now coming back with this film. The benefit of working with Nareshji is he has used his experience and molded himself into current film making. He un-
derstands nowadays what audience wants to watch. His experience made all of us to deliver good performance.” The film also stars Nishant Malkani and Madhurima Banerjee in lead roles. Nishant and Mugdha were last seen in another love triangle, Bezubaan Ishq, which had also starred Sneha Ullal.
About working with fresh star cast, Mughda said, “Today’s newcomers don’t need any training. They know their job.” She said that her upcoming, yet-untitled, project is a love story. She completed one shoot in Shimla and soon will leave for Lucknow for another leg of shooting.

Talking about his latest line, Mubarikpur-born Garg said he decided to do away with curve lines and keep the silhouettes clean, simple and fuss free, using straight and angled cuts. “The idea was that I didn’t want to use any curvy silhouette. That is why I kept
it all straight. I didn’t tamper it. All 45 garments were designed around it. I used a little hand embroidery. Not much may be just five per cent of the collection, so the rest is woven. This whole collection has been made in Banaras. The border is ‘mashru’ but it is not cut and attached. There was nothing like ‘mashru’ saree. So I gave birth to a whole new technique,” said Garg, who has been credited for making handloom sarees fashionable.

Raw Mango’s Sanjay Garg proudly showcased his love for Indian handicrafts and celebrated the ‘mashru’ textile as he inaugurated the Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) Spring-Summer 2016, which also marked his debut in the Capital’s runway scene. For his big day, actresses Deepti Naval, Konkona Sensharma and Soha Ali Khan, all self-confessed fans of the designer, took seats in the front row to boost his morale and cheer Garg, who presented a very lively and colourful line. “It is nice to have them come here and support me. It means a lot,” Garg said of his muses for the evening. Talvar star Konkona, who has donned Garg’s sarees on several occasions, said she is proud to see the designer showcase his collection today. “It is a great feeling to see him do what he did today. I have been wearing his creations for a long time now. I absolutely love his designs. It is very India, rooted, comfortable yet so stylish,” she said. Not a regular at fashion events, Naval said it was only for Garg that she decided to make an exception. “I don’t attend

Moto X Style With 5.7-Inch QHD Display Launched at Rs. 29,999
Agency | Dhaka Bangladesh announced on Wednesday it would host Zimbabwe for a two-Test cricket series in November after Australia postponed a planned visit this month due to security concerns. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan said Zimbabwe had agreed to tour that month although no date had been finalised. “Zimbabwe have principally agreed to tour Bangladesh in November. We will final-
ise the date with Zimbabwe officials during next week’s ICC (International Cricket Council) meeting in Dubai,” Nazmul told reporters. Zimbabwe were originally scheduled to visit Bangladesh from next January 11-February 7 for two Tests, three one-day Internationals and three Twenty20 internationals. But the BCB president said the series would now be spilt in two parts. Zimbabwe would play the Tests in November and return in January
for the ODIs and T20s. Nazmul said following a meeting of the BCB board of directors that Bangladesh would also bid for the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament, which could be held in February next year just ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 in India. The BCB is under pressure to bring back international cricket to the country. South Africa’s women’s cricket team also postponed a planned tour later this month, citing security concerns.

The Eden strip is expected to be a spinner’s paradise, and India must capitalise by curbing the South Africans strokeplay on a surface which may not be conducive to batting. In such a scenario, Mishra seems to be a better bet but it remains to be seen whether Dhoni, who considers the wrist spinner to be slower in the air, picks him ahead of Patel or Harbhajan Singh.
