At Hyderabad University, Protests Continue, But Some Say ‘Enough’ Agency | Hyderabad
For several days, there have been no classes held at Hyderabad Central University, where 24 students were arrested a week ago on charges of vandalising the chambers of the university’s top official. With anger simmering on campus, the administration cancelled classes, stating they would resume today. However, calls by student groups for a boycott, together with protests, have made that tough. The suicide of Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student, at his hostel in January, has turned the campus close to the IT hub of Hyderabad into a volatile zone, with a section of students demanding that Vice Chancellor

functionaries and workers as well as BJP leaders. State BJP president Laxmikant Bajpai and Lucknow mayor Dinesh Sharma were among those present. Singh said the building has been associated with the Sangh since 1949, and it was here that Syama Prasad Mookerjee stayed before he founded the Jana Sangh. The building is called Rajju Bhaiya Smriti Bhawan, named after former sarsanghchalak of the RSS, Rajendra Singh alias Rajju Bhaiya. Bhagwat will inaugurate another building of the RSS in PGI area on the outskirts of Lucknow on Tuesday morning. That building is called Rajju Bhaiya Sadan. He is scheduled to leave the city on Tuesday evening.

A committee that included human rights activists and lawyers says that women students were threatened with rape, and that Muslims were referred to as “terrorists” by the police.

2 / Dt. 29-03-2016, Tuesday Editors’ Picks tuesday, march 29, 2016 Low oil prices, which helped cut India’s import bill
India’s current account deficit has narrowed to $22 billion in April-December 2015 from $26.2 bn for the same period of the preceding year, continuing a trend of decline from the record $88.2 bn level of 2012-13. Much of this is, of course, courtesy oil, the imports of which may fall to below $85 bn this fiscal from $164 bn in 2012-13. But amid all this improvement in the balance of payments (BoP) — foreign exchange reserves have hit an all-time-high of $356 bn — there is a less-noticed, yet disquieting trend: Net private remittance transfers, at $15.3 bn in October-December 2015, are down to their lowest in 18 quarters. Given that remittances constitute the country’s second largest export item — with annual earnings of $66.3 bn in 2014-15, only behind the $70.4 bn from software services — there are BoP implications as well. But the real impact, not as easily quantifiable, is human. Currently, there are some 15 million Indian migrant workers living and employed abroad, about half of them in oil-rich West Asian and North African countries. The crash in oil prices have sent these economies into a tailspin, wrecking public finances and forcing their governments to not just undertake spending cuts but also restrict employment opportunities for expatriates. There are reports that up to one million foreign workers may have to leave Saudi Arabia by this year-end, as the kingdom, grappling with a $98 bn budget deficit in 2015 and an official unemployment rate of 11.5 per cent, seeks ways to ensure enough jobs for its own citizens. Similar pressures are building up in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, which are all suffering reversal of a decade-long economic boom primarily fuelled by oil. At the receiving end of the forced retrenchments are the millions, including from India, now facing the prospect of returning. The last decade was, in many ways, a decade of migration for India, both external and internal. Exemplifying this was Kerala, which, in 2014, was estimated to have 2.4 million emigrants remitting around Rs 71,150 crore. But Kerala today also houses three million-odd domestic migrant labourers —mainly from West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh — who send back over Rs 20,000 crore annually to their home states. This phenomenon of Indians literally going places within and outside the country to find work was enabled by improved connectivity (think mobile phones and rural roads) and global economic growth creating all-round employment opportunities. It would be a tragedy if all this migration — a powerful force for poverty reduction — goes into reverse in the days ahead.

Title favourites India tonight stormed into the semifinals of the World T20 cricket tournament with a sensational six-wicket victory over Australia in their final group match, relying on Virat Kohli’s batting heroics here on Sunday. After restricting Australia to 160 for 6, Kohli (82 not out) provided the spark with a superlative display of batting to help India overhaul the target with five balls to spare in a thrilling showdown at the I S Bindra Stadium. India turned the game on its head in the last four overs with the flamboyant Kohli unleashing a flurry of shots to take the game away from the Australians much to the delight of the capacity home
crowd. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (18 not out) hit the winning runs -- a four -- to the wild celebration at the Indian camp as well among the vociferous crowd.

I have already said what I had to say in the media. First and foremost the top people in the board should step down,” he added. Miandad, who

Rahul Gandhi wearing ‘Italian glasses’, can’t Model Career Centre inaugurated in Gujarat Vadodara see changes in India: BJP chief Amit Shah A Model Career Centre Correspondent |
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
BJP president Amit Shah Sunday said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi cannot understand the “changes happening in the country” because he is wearing “Italian glasses”. “Recently, Rahul wanted to know the difference between their regime and ours. During both regimes, firing used to happen on the border (with Pakistan). Brother Rahul, you will not understand the difference because you have Italian glasses on your eyes. You will not understand what changes are happening in the country,” Shah said at an event to inaugurate a new bus station in Ahmedabad.Elaborating on the difference
between the UPA and the NDA government, Shah said that now the armed forces, if provoked, can fire back “without waiting for orders”. He also spoke about initiatives undertaken by the Narendra Modi government. “There are a number of changes that have been ushered in by the current BJP government under the leadership of Narendra Modi… There are special policies for farm-
ers and backward sections of society. We have also come up with projects like the bullet train,” he said. Shah said Modi had created a “welfare state” in Gujarat and was now trying to uplift the nation. “Before we come to seek a fresh mandate in 2019, we will fulfil all promises we made under the leadership of Narendra Modi,” he said. He also said the BJP strongly believes in “expression of views
and thoughts”. “What is the definition of expression of views? We in the BJP strongly believe in expressing our views. If there is a leader who has been the most criticised after Independence, it is our leader Narendra Modi. He was criticised for over 10 years. When our leader and our government were cricitised, we did not say anything, but if anybody raises slogans against the country in the name expression of views, BJP workers will never tolerate it.

In a chat with Mirror on Sunday evening, “honorary founder” Dhvanit, who is heavily into music himself, said, “The three of us (me, Kedar and Parth),
presented the first workshop on music therapy in the state. The guests — Dr Sudhir Shah, Jayanthi Ravi, Dr Arpan Bhatt and Swami Adhyatmanandji — also endorsed music as a therapy. Much research has been done on it, but have you ever heard of a clinic?” ”Different types of music can have different effects on you. There are songs or tunes that can help you drift off to sleep, while there is music which can make you dynamic and motivate you to do something, to work,” added the actor, who motivated the docs to come up with the clinic, which took two-and-a-half years.
