Calling for a “Sangh(RSS)-mukht-Bharat”, Bihar Chief Minister on Thursday told the BJP and RSS not to preach nationalism and said his Janata Dal-United (JD-U) will expand in Uttar Pradesh. In his first visit to Varanasi, the Lok Sabha constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar launched a bitter attack on both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
and Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS). “Today the BJP is talking about nationalism whereas the veterans of the BJP and the RSS played no role in the independence movement,” Nitish Kumar told a public rally at Pindra area here. “When Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) was fighting against the British, when freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh and Chandrasekhar Azad gave their lives for the

UPSC: The story of Dabi’s achievement needs to become less heroic, more routine
That Tina Dabi has topped the civil services examination at age 22 is an extraordinary achievement. Her success is about individual excellence, but it is about more than that. The powerful symbolism of a Dalit girl topping the IAS list must not be ignored. To be sure, her middle-class background — both her parents are engineers — may have relatively insulated her from the social and economic oppression a majority of Dalits in India are forced to endure and eased her pursuit of success. Yet, Dabi’s journey can become a source of inspiration for scores of students from underprivileged castes and communities — to fight prejudice and win against all odds. Symbols have the power to move people, to motivate them to break the limits set by history and society. Symbols can empower communities in unexpected ways. Mahatma Gandhi and Babasaheb Ambedkar recognised well the potential of symbols and used them astutely to undergird their respective emancipatory visions. Even as we celebrate the symbolic resonance of Dabi’s achievement, this is also a moment to remind ourselves of the structural constraints that still hold back others like her. Systemic discrimination and institutional infirmities continue to prevent a large section of India’s population from realising its true potential. Despite the long history of social justice movements and constitutional safeguards, caste inequality remains an inescapable reality. Its dominance as a social institution may have diminished over the years, but caste continues to manifest itself as an instrument of power, including in the state’s institutions. The case of Rohith Vemula, who took his own life after what was, by all accounts, a tortuous battle against institutional discrimination, is telling. It was only the latest reminder that there remains a larger battle to be fought against deeply entrenched and routinised prejudices. Solitary success stories, however heartening, become meaningful only when they help build the momentum against the injustice and biases embedded in society. Dabi must not remain the exceptional hero. Her story must help open up greater possibilities of change. Significantly, the second rank in the UPSC examination has gone to a Kashmiri Muslim. Athar Aamir ul Shafi Khan’s success is a welcome departure from the dominant Kashmir narrative about alienation, violence and oppression. As in the case of Dabi, this country needs many more stories like his.

National Award-winning director Nagraj Manjule’s latest offering Sairat has become the highest-grossing Marathi film ever. With earnings of Rs.41.11 crore at the end of 11 days, according to movie website Bollywood Hungama, the romantic film has beaten the records of previous Marathi blockbusters like Duniyadari (2013), Lai Bhaari (2014) and Natsamrat (2016).

Agency | Mumbai Bollywood’s love with Kolkata continues. After Amitabh Bachchan’s TE3N, it’s now Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra’s turn to take Bollywood to the City of Joy: They are coming together for Yash Raj films’ production Meri Pyaari Bindu , the directorial debut of Akshay Roy. On Thursday, both Ayushmann and Parineeti shared a sneak peak of what the film has to offer on their Twitter timelines. It started with Parineeti tweeting a cryptic message in the morning, “It all begins in
the city of joy!” Taking his cue, Ayushmann replied, “I love it when the Bindu in you says such things”. The one-and-ahalf-minute-long video starts with Abhimanyu (Ayushmann) writing a ‘horror’ story story on a typewriter. The setting is a small bylane in Kolkata, and the horror story he’s writing sounds more sleazy than scary. He pauses for a while and tells us that instead of writing his story, he’d rather talk about his ‘Bindu’. Who is Bindu? Parineeti plays Bindu, as aspiring singer in the film that also marks her debut as a singer .

Agency | Mumbai Seldom has the Indian cricket Board fretted over an outgoing official. Although jockeying is bound to start in right earnest for the top post, for the first time, Shashank Manohar’s resignation as president has left the beleaguered organisation in some uncertainty. The 58-year-old lawyer from Nagpur came on board in October to specifically salvage the image of the Board, hit by events following the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal. Manohar did
set in motion changes that brought in accountability and transparency, as recommended by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice RM Lodha committee. A day after Manohar’s resignation, with the administrator likely to contest for the position of the International Cricket Council’s first independent chairman, former administrators and legal experts were divided over what impact his exit will have on the future of the BCCI and the case it is battling in the Supreme Court. Former BCCI treasurer,
Kishore Rungta, said that had Manohar stayed on as president during this period of turbulence, he would have solved many issues for the Board. “There is uncertainty reigning now that he has quit. If uncertainty prevails, it will definitely cause problems,” he said. However, Rungta felt Manohar, despite his legal background, could have done little to prevent widespread changes that the Supreme Court is expected to order. “The Supreme Court will ensure that these changes take place,” he said.
