5 Things Indian Parents Don’t Teach Their Children sentence umpteen times, “If you don’t get good marks in your board exams, then your life will be wasted” This is so not true. Education is essential, but marks don’t need to be the only way to gauge a child’s skills.

One more thing Indian parents love to do is compare the scorecard of their children with their neighbour’s children. Parents, try to understand this type of comparison sometimes leaves a scar on a child.

If a child is not performing well in exams, instead of scaring them, just be there for them. Your words should comfort them, not the other way around.

3. Financial Independence

Parents want everything to be perfect for their children from the moment they were born, from getting the best clothes to enrolling them in a top school. Parenting a kid is not as easy as it sounds, especially in India. Parents decide for themselves what’s best for their children, and most of the times it turns out to be good, but it’s not what they would have expected.

There are many essential aspects of life that parents fail to teach their

children, let alone children are not allowed to speak specific topics at home as if it’s a sin. How many childrenhave had a conversation with their parents about rape, drug, porn, periods etc.? Probably none.

Parents don’t want their children to ask such questions, which is why children are hesitant to be friendly with their parents.

Here we discuss five things Indian parents don’t teach their kids.

1. Sex Education

never. Even if kids muster the courage to ask their parents any questions related to sex, they shy away from answering it. What’s up with that? Are Indian children forbidden to talk about sex?

It paves the way for the internet which teaches them everything they need to know. But it also comes with other nasty contents which are not relevant to children. It’s high time parents sit with their children and talk about tabooed topics.

People live in platforms, in poverty, and apart from seeing such saddening sights, there is one more to add to this list: seeing someone in their 20s who look at others while filling a form in the bank. More than 75% of Indian adults do not have enough knowledge about financial concepts, revealed by an S&P survey.

Schools don’t teach about money, parents don’t talk about money, all they want for children is to study physics, chemistry and maths. Parents should teach their kids about finance if they want their child to be financially independent. With bitcoins, the stock market and insurance schemes blooming, it is vital that this generation of kids learn the basics of financial concepts.

4. Political Exposure

Probably they wouldn’t know that.

Everyone thinks politics is garbage, and this is not something parents would like to discuss with their children. Politics has become an integral part of our life, and children are the future of our country.

Every child should learn about Indian Polity, civil laws and current political scenario. Learning politics will not broaden their knowledge but it will also make them a responsible citizen.

5. Freedom of Speech

Article 19 of the Indian constitution takes a hit here; children of every Indian household are not supposed to speak their mind. Often kids are scolded or even slapped if they speak against their parents.

There’s a difference between being disrespectful and saying their thoughts, and parents should know this.

Children should be taught what to speak and what not to speak with others and within the family. If a child disagrees with their parents, parents often assume that their kids are not obeying them. Hindering a child’s voice will only adversely affect their speaking skills or social skills when they grow up.

Summing up

Not everything can be taught at school or college, parents have to shed some light on the different intricacies of life, or when a kid grows, they will have a hard time at adulting. It would indirectly affect their career or even their mental health. Wake up parents, before it’s too late.

Jet Airways will return to fly as early as 6 months. A Dubai Based entrepreneur is leading the efforts to save the airline according to Murali Lal Jalan explained to NDTV on 8th March, which bolstered hope for one of the biggest turnarounds in the aviation industry.

Mr. Jalan says “I am expecting to fly Jet Airways in the next months, which will be dependent on NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal- the bankruptcy court) clearance.

There will be no hurdle once, NCLT clearance is done. They are hoping to be done very soon. It is very essential to have routes that Jet used to have. And as an airline to be fully fledged, they have a lot of corporate.

The meeting with the Ex CEO and MoCA officials

The ex-CEO of Jet Airways, Vinay Dube is in a midst to launch a new airline with collaboration with the Jet Airways employee, Pravin Iyer. They met with the representative of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, on Wednesday.

But the meetings agenda was not restricted to just the new airline, but other issues as well.

There are two sources The Hindu and the Indian Express which confirmed that Dube met the representatives of the Ministry.

Business line reported quoting that the duo had a “premature yet firm” plans to launch the airline. The sources also said that the airline is a new cost carrier and was likely to be launched by the end of FY22.

Dube quit Go-Air in August 2020, after being the CEO for six months, had more than one round of discussions.

Dube could not be reached for comment but sources said an application has been made to the civil aviation ministry for no objection certificate.

"A lot of groundwork has been done and the team is looking for investors to raise funds," a source said.

Dube, who previously worked with Delta Airlines, was appointed as Jet CEO in 2017.

He left the airline one month after its closure in May 2019. Dube served as GoAir CEO between February-August last year.

Bid for the Airline

The Murari Lal consortium won the bid for Jet Airways in 2020 and was planning to restart the bid Jet Airways in the coming months.

Meanwhile, In India, around 78.27 lakhs domestic passengers travelled by air in February

(revealing, sexy) dress. However, their interest is in determining the extent to which women and girls are depicted in provocative dress in the media (in magazines, in online retail stores) and the potential consequences of those depictions, such as objectification. These researchers have often used objectification theory to guide their research. According to objectification theory (Fredrickson& Roberts women living in sexually saturated cultures are looked at, evaluated, and potentially objectified and treated as objects valued for their use by others.

Objectification theory focuses on sexual objectification as a function of objectifying gaze, which is experienced in actual social encounters, media depictions of social encounters, and media depictions that focus on bodies and body parts. The theory explains that objectifying gaze evokes an objectified state of consciousness which influences selfperceptions.

Almost everyone has an opinion on a woman’s appearance. We as a society have a tendency to jump to quick and very vocal judgments in the name of propriety.

Newly appointed Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat drew flak online after he said women in ripped jeans set a ‘bad example’. As a video of remarks went viral, hundreds of women posted photos online of them wearing ripped jeans.

The CM made the controversial remark while addressing a child substance abuse workshop in the state. Tirath Singh described in detail the attire of a woman who sat next to him in a flight. The woman, he said, identified herself as a NGO worker and was travelling with her kids. He said: “You run an NGO, wear jeans ripped at the knees, move about in society, children are with you, what values you will teach?”

Facing flak over his "ripped jeans" comment, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat on Friday said he apologises for the remark if it has hurt anybody.

But at the same time, he repeated his objection to ripped jeans, saying he has no problem with jeans with but wearing "torn" ones is "not right".

Referring to his remark made earlier this week, Mr Rawat told the media that he had commented that nowadays children bring a costly jean home and then cut it with a scissor.

If we inculcate good values and discipline in children, they will never fail in future, the Chief Minister added, stressing that he had made the comment at a programme held to keep the children away from intoxicants and other evils.

Mr Rawat had drawn flak after at an event earlier this week he said youngsters follow strange fashion trends due to a lack of values and consider themselves to be big shots after wearing jeans ripped at the knees. Women also follow such trends.

Replacing Trivendra Singh Rawat, former BJP Uttarakhand chief Tirath Singh Rawat took oath as the 9th Chief Minister of the hill state on March 10. Active in politics for two decades, Rawat has been a former pracharak of the RashtriyaSwayamseva Sangh (RSS). In 2019, he was elected as a Member of Parliament to the 17th Lok Sabha. In 2012, he was elected as MLA and went on to become the chief of Uttarakhand's BJP unit in 2013. Previously, he was the first education minister of the state when Ut-

tarakhand was formed in 2000.

It’s important for a woman to feel good in her clothes. Clothes are just something you put on to cover yourself.

The character of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, or the figure that she carries.

But nowadays, our society judges a woman’s character by her clothes. According to them, girls should not wear ‘provocative’ clothes.

“Good Indian girls cover up.”

“Tight clothes and jeans cause rape.”

Ripped Jeans or Ripped Mentality?

Jeans is one of the most comfortable piece of clothing, loved across all genders and ages around the world. It’s low maintenance, fit all sizes and wearable in every season. But according to some fine minds of our country, any western garment, which has separate entries for two legs is a men’s clothing.

So, while researchers have managed to dislodge their eyes from their sockets from induced eye rolling, now we are told that we run a risk of bearing “transgender” or “autistic” children. However, women folk are at a larger health risk from these unscientific statements and dictates, than wearing denim. Our arteries stand a fat chance of popping from hypertension after hearing all this rubbish.

Why is it hard to accept our clothing choices?

Be it denims or short skirts, why is it still hard for a section of our society if females choose to wear non-traditional clothing? Their sexist ideas find our legs in pants rebellious. It’s not just an attack on male supremacy, it is an attack on their inflexible mentality, which would rather snap than bend.

This snap leads them to make unscientific claims, which are nothing but a way of policing. Pa-

Psychology Of Dressing

triarchy lets men get away with rape. But instead of teaching them to mind their behaviour, cultural outfits go ahead to ban jeans for girls, labeling it a provocative garment.

But these claims can never force us to give up our jeans. They are too comfortable and precious for us, and thanks to these backward comments, they are also a symbol of rebellion now. Women who wear jeans are not at risk of any disease, but they are a risk to the sanity of inflexible conservative beliefs. They will have to silently sit and watch us ride bikes, eat Chow Mein, step out of home to work, as we proudly saddle our lives in our favourite blue den-

In the 1980s researchers were interested in women’s provocative (revealing, sexy) dress and the extent to which men and women attributed the same meaning to it. For example, both Edmonds and Cahoon and Cahoon and Edmonds found ratings of women who wore provocative dress were more negative than ratings of women who wore nonprovocative dress. No specific theory was identified by these authors as guiding their research.

Overall, when wearing provocative dress a model was rated more sexually appealing, more attractive, less faithful in marriage, more likely to engage in sexual teasing, more likely to use sex for personal gain, more likely to be sexually experienced, and more likely to be raped than when wearing conservative dress.

Recently, researchers have resurrected the topic of provocative

{ Extracts from a research conducted by Kim Johnson, Sherron J Lennon and Nancy Rudd }

Effects of clothes on the behavior of the wearer

Each of these studies reported research focused on a dress cue associated with cultural meaning.

Some of the researchers had to first determine that meaning. The manipulations were designed so that the meaning of the dress cues was salient for the context of the manipulation. For example, in the objectification studies the revealingness of dress was varied in the context of a dressing room mirror where the revealing nature of the cue would be relevant. So to extend the enclothed cognition framework, we suggest that for dress to affect the wearer, the context of the experimental task needs to be such that the meaning of the dress item is salient.

Future researchers may continue to pursue the effects of dress on the wearer. The extended enclothed cognition framework could be applied to school uniforms. A possible research question could be that if school uniforms are associated with powerlessness among schoolchildren, would wearing school uniforms affect the level of effort children expend to solve homework problems or write papers?

Blame it on the sex-ratio in the country if you have to, that the sheer lack of women on the streets, in the offices working night and day to make a living and living life on their own rules that create a problem to certain men that they become sexual offenders.

The Seldom – Spoken, Supreme Significance of Sandwiches

Sajeeda Feroz

A humble sandwich is undisputedly, the most under rated meals of all time. We could assume it isn’t much, but the rich history of its existence since times immemorial, and widespread prevalence in every culture, across the worldtoday, proves otherwise. Transcending barriers, this feat can never be paralleled to any other food till date.

In theory, a perfectly balanced square meal includes protein, carbohydrates, a vegetable or two, some form of dairy and some fruit. Besides, such a meal also should balance tastes, such assavoury, a little sour or bitter maybe, perhaps some sweet and salt — and textures, from chewy to succulent to crisp. Enough said, a simple sandwich packs all this goodness in a compact, but versatile meal.

It’s a pity, we don’t celebrate it enough.

Plainly speaking, a sandwich is two slices of bread or a type of pastry, enclosing a filling that can easily be eaten by hand.That might sound like a silly thing to say about something that can essentially be described as “something delicious jammed between two hunks of starch.” But it’s thiscardinal nature of the sandwich which allows people to create masterpieces.Everyone loves a good sandwich. From the kid in the school cafeteria to the Food Critic in the gourmet deli, folks revel in the simplistic to the artistic creation.Needless to say, a sandwich can be a simple, on-the-go street food affordable to the masses or aluxurious creation by lauded chefs.

Sandwiches can be pretty much anything (except a hot dog). This definition allows for a broad interpretation, including delights across the globe, such as empanadas, stuffed pitas, tacos, Cornish pasties, ice cream sandwiches and wraps. It’s un-

fair, confining a sandwich to bread alone.No matter where you go, odds are you’ll find a variation on that simple starch + delicious formula.

Sandwichesoffer a glimpse into traditions and customs of the regions from which sprung. they’ve Bridging gaps between cultures and classes, nearly every sandwich tells a story.

From delicacies created to honour royalty, to peasant foods designed to maximize deliciousness and longevity, they come in all shapes and sizes, packed with proteins, cheeses, spreads, sauces, and veggies that all but define their place of origin.

They can be eaten at any time of the day, yet be satisfying. In recent times, sandwiches serve as ambassadors into the rich cultures of the world, acting as entry points into diverse cuisines in a comfy, handheld package. We can all find common ground between the starches.

Perhaps it’s time for the sandwich to be less humble.

The Beginning:

According to a legend, way back in 1762, John Montague, thefourth Earl of Sandwich, was involved in a gamblingmarathon. He asked his butler to bring him some meat placed between two slices of bread, so that he couldcontinue playing and not grease up cards while eating. And voila! The sandwich was born.

You could love a hearty, meaty sandwich or prefer some peanut butter or jam on white bread. A few sandwiches, especially the messy, bursting at the seams belly bombs likea loaded Bombay Sandwichrequire proper handling and a stable

town. Artisan breads, rustic loaves, ciabatta, sourdough or a great multigrain bread, are a great choice. The unspoken rule is to only use bread, having a sustenance of its ownthat you would eat unaided.

Rule #2: The Filling Facts.

while consuming.

You’re much too busy devouring it to even think of forming words to explain its grandeur.

There is a big difference between a sandwich that makes you say ‘meh’ and one that leaves you speechless.

But what’s that defining factor in a finger-licking sandwich? The secret lies in all about how it’s made. The art of making sandwiches has a rich history. It takes no real special skills or training, however, with a little ingenuity, the possibilities are endless.

Truly, it’s an art form, so here’s a quick crash course in the art of sandwich making.

Rule #1: The Bread decides the sandwich

Wherever a sandwich is from, its foundation, its canvas, its single most important element, is the bread. The right bread with the best ingredients enhances the taste and texture to the greatest extent. Bad bread can make even the finest fillings seem paltry.The good old white sandwich bread has its place, but a great sandwich encompasses the best bread in

We all have different tastes, so by all means, build with the ingredients you like. Expand your horizon.Play with the ingredients. Remember, it’s all about building layers of flavour that complement each other.

Rule #3: Dress it Up! Gobble it up!

Mayonnaise is good.Cream cheese is okay. But my personal favourite would be Garlic Mayo on one slice of bread and the zingy, mint chutney on the other. The most essential thing to bear in mind though, is never to overdo it. Moderation is key.

Too much and you’ll end up with an overpowering, or worse yet, soggy sandwich.

Rule #4: The Sandwich Architecture of Unsliced Bread

Anybody could slap some meat and veggies onto a slice of bread, but a little planning will make your sandwich, delectable. Follow these steps for sandwich crafting: mCut your sandwich slices a little thicker than the usual pre-sliced stuff.

Be sure not to cut all the way through.

Form a sort of cradle to hold your fillings, by only cutting 2/3 of the way through the bread and removing a bit of the bread inside. mIf you’re using a creamy or oily sauce, slather it next. This forms a barrier between the bread and the topping, making it less likely to get soggy. I use butter. mCheese lovers! This is the next step. Add cheese to help add some strength to your bread and hold the filling in place. A combo of cheddar and mozzarella works best if it’s a grilled cheese sandwich. The classic

Reinvent!

Another smart execution to binge on the exotic sandwich is to have it as bread pakora. Substitute diagonally – cut bread slices for the veggie mixture and fry or place fillings inside a bread slice, roll it, seal it and fry. Trust me! You shall not be disappointed.

Just like creating any art, the art of making a sandwich is subjective.

Each individual has his or her own interpretation of what makes a delicious sandwich. Build it any way you like!

The modest sandwich satisfies everyone, is fulfilling and packs a punch, yet we seldom appreciate its greatness.

Book Review: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

book review

The Atypical Tale of a Typical Indian Woman

ART | CULTURE | LITERATURE | BOOK REVIEWS | BOOKS LISTING

everything we do. It reveals the miracle-powers of our subconscious mind that existed before our birth.

I have casually chosen this book and it opened the doors of happiness, peace and prosperity. It apprised me of the abilities of the subconscious mind. With every new page, the level of complexity and divinity rises, upgrading the level of mind. Every theory, every concept had something more amazing to offer but the concept that left an everlasting impact on my mind is"You are as young as you think you are. You are as strong as you think you are. You are as useful as you think you are. You are as young as your thoughts."

The concept unveiled the strength of thoughts. It made me realise how powerful my thoughts are and how should I channelize my thoughts to deal with every obstacle of my life. It allows me to evaluate the intensity of my thoughts and shape them productively.

Kanika Saxena

We have a lot to offer

Anmol Madaan The book caters for the questions associated with our daily lives, thoughts and feelings. The book contains the basic, foundational, and fundamental laws of life. It is encapsulated with the techniques that could convince you to believe in the power of miracles and appeases you with the calibre to deal with confusion, anxiety, failure and other negative thoughts and emotions.

This book can change your life

The book has an essence of spiritual wisdom and its incredible connections with science. It allows us to understand the impact of the subconscious mind on

It doesn’t matter if you are sixty-five or ninety-five, seventeen or twenty-seven, we have a lot to offer. The level of your knowledge and experience upgrades every year. This book prompted me to learn something new every moment. It permeated me with the will of offering more to society by grasping new things every day. One of the most unique concepts this book includes is- “Old age may be called the contemplation of truths of God from the highest standpoint. The joys of old age are greater than those of youth. Your mind is engaged in spiritual and mental athletics. Nature slows down your body so that you may have the opportunity to meditate on things divine”. Almost every book, reveals the significance of productivity and enthusiasm at a young age but this book has chosen a slightly different path. It allows me to evaluate the importance of spirituality and divinity at every age.

Before ageing, I know how I have to spend that period. The fruits of old age are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, faith, meekness and many more. Instead of swinging between emotions like helplessness, sadness, anxiety, pain, I would choose to experience more positive emotions.

Why this book?

Dr Murphy stated cogent reasons validating the connecting between spirituality and science. This book is going to widen our level of perception and stretch our abilities to understand things precisely. It is going to change the thought process and will allow one to enter into a whole different world. Now you have room for forgiveness, happiness, peace and prosperity and we will find yourself neglecting negative emotions like fear, jealousy, anger. You will notice your bonds are becoming stronger and your life has become more succulent.

Huge decline in women employment Faridabad (NCR) 16-31 March, 2021 www.theasianchronicle.com

opinion Lalit Garg

Women and children faced the biggest brunt of the Corona epidemic. Lockdowns and other strict regulations have caused many sectors worldwide to stagnate or collapse, causing the most affected economy and causing a sharp decline in employment. Now that the impact of the epidemic seems to be diminishing, in such a situation, India along with all the countries of the world is trying to overcome it. In such a situation, it is a big challenge to bring the economy back on track, for which the Central Government has issued a series of relief packages; gradually the market and general activities are moving towards normalcy. But in the meantime, there is worrying news about female employment. A think tank called the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) has reported that only 7 percent of urban women in India are employed or looking for it. According to CMIE, our country lags behind Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in terms of employing women. The corona epidemic has exacerbated this problem.

Due to the policy and schemes of the Central Government, new records have been set in the last few decades for the empowerment of women, the achievements of women from public life to the front of the economy and the achievement of being self-reliant, there is a sharp decline in time, which is disturbing. According to the CMIE report, such a small number of urban women are employed in India. For the reasons of Corona epidemic, the sectors that women directly depend on for employment were the most affected. Be it domestic help, schooling sector,

tourism or catering sector. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, a large number of women were evacuated from these sectors.

At the same time, many women had to leave their jobs due to the extra burden of children's care due to the closure of children's schools. Due to these reasons, the employment or job sector which has been the biggest means of empowerment of women, the proportion of their participation in it has reached a very worrying situation. It is worth noting that the survey conducted by Bubble AI during the last two months from January this year has revealed the fact that women are suffering big losses in many areas. According to Indian references, due to Covid-19, many women had to leave their jobs in the middle. This has further reduced the already low participation of women in the labour sector.

Apart from CMIE, a survey by the International Laborie Organization has also revealed the frightening fact that Covid-19 has affected the employment of women more than men.

The organization conducted a survey

in Mumbai and found that while the epidemic affected the employment of three-fourths of men, the share of women was about 90 percent. It was found in this survey that it was eight times easier for men to get new employment than women. For example, men took up the job of delivering things, which women could not easily do in a society like India.

According to CMIE, 9.7 percent of urban women were part of the labour force in the year 2019. But during the epidemic this share decreased to 6.9 per cent. The institution has presented these facts after talking to one lakh 70 thousand families across India. The report said that seventy-one percent of working men at workplaces are just eleven percent. Obviously, unemployment figures are also decided on these grounds. There is no doubt that the struggles that women face every day in social situations, they are still uplifted. But the truth is that after losing their place in public life is very hard and the sudden loss of job and employment has a direct impact on their mental health and they are also struggling with it. Whenever

there is a sudden or planned turmoil in any country or society, any disaster, war and political or man-made problem arises, it has the most negative effect on women and they have to bear the brunt of it. Women were also the most affected in the crisis of the epidemic. The latest survey has raised concerns over the crisis in jobs and employment. Earlier, there have been reports that cases of domestic violence against women increased rapidly due to the total ban imposed due to Corona. The question is why a situation arises in which women have to bear the brunt of every crisis.

For the empowerment of women, it is necessary that the Government of India must take necessary steps to provide employment to more women. The Indian government will have to change the mind-set to focus only on the IT sector. It will have to call companies investing in other sectors. Like the textile industry, which has now shifted to Bangladesh, women get good employment in this industry. The government will have to focus on it. The government will have to give up its sexist thinking.

Only 11 percent of the Indian government's own employees are women. More and new opportunities for women in government jobs are important.

In the World Economic Forum in Davos, Oxfam, in a report called 'Time to Care', shocked the world by revealing the economic conditions of domestic women. The women, who handle their home, take care of the family, do countless difficult tasks, from getting up in the morning to sleeping at night. If we say that maintaining the house is the most difficult task in the world then it probably will not be wrong. This is the only profession in the world in which you are at

work for 24 hours, seven days a day, suffer a crisis every day, and meet every deadline and that too without leave. Think, she does not take any salary in exchange for performing so many task. Her hard work is not usually given special importance by being called a regular household chore.

At the same time, this work of her is not labeled as being beneficial in the progress of the nation. While that much work would have been done by the servants, a large amount would have to be paid as salary. On the other hand, a woman who works in a company, after working for a fixed period and a fixed number of days, gets a specified amount of salary. This work of her and her sequence is seen as a contribution to national progress (GDP). It is believed that such a woman's contribution in the economic development of the country. The question is why the labour of domestic working women is not evaluated economically? Why this outrageous treatment of domestic women?

Actually, the reason for such situation is social and narrow thinking. In the patriarchal social system, the center of power has usually been men and women have been marginalized in the sharing of labour and resources. This kind of tradition developed centuries ago, but it is regrettable that today, when the world is claiming to be modern and civilized, the Narendra Modi government in India is ready to give equal status to women and its self-respect.

In that too, women have not got the right to fair share in resources for the most part. There is a big question that how long will all the evils, pandemics and national crises continue to fall on women.

Strict enforcement of Covid-19 protocols best way to deal with the pandemic: ASSOCHAM

Strict enforcement of protocols like social distancing, mask-wearing and proper sanitation are the best tools to deal with Covid19 and measures like imposing lockdown, night curfew and curbs on movement of people and services, may not be the best way forward as it might have implications on economy, ASSOCHAM Secretary General Deepak Sood has said.

“Traversing through Covid-19 challenge in the last one year has taught us that the economic activities can be best performed with unrestricted movement of people and services, but with enforcement of guidelines on social distancing, wearing of masks and ensuring adequate sanitation at workplaces,” Sood said.

The coronavirus has extracted unprecedented costs in terms of human lives and the crushing impact on the global economy.

“However, India has grappled with the situation with prudent response from the governments - Centre, states and the businesses.

We have limited the impact of the pandemic.

Our economy has bounced back from a sharp drop of close to 24 per cent in the first quarter of the FY2020-21 to a positive trend in the third quarter. The 4th quarter is likely to be better than the previous quarter and the

economy has almost returned to pre-covid level. Even the services sectors like domestic tourism, aviation, public transport have been bouncing back well,” the ASSOCHAM Secretary General added.

He further said that recent increase in coronavirus cases is no doubt a matter of grave concern. However, using the experience of the last one year, enforcement of behaviour guidelines would be the best way forward.

“Enforcement, along with aggressive testing and vaccination would allow us to be on top of the situation,” Sood said.

Stating that Indian economy is poised at a very delicate stage, he said it is ready to bounce back further which can happen only if prudent measures are adopted, without stringent measures like lockdowns.

After all, we have witnessed domestic flights returning to their capacity while hotels are operating at far better occupancy levels than the previous quarters. Industries like tractors, passenger cars, fertilisers,

chemicals, speciality chemicals, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, cement, steel, copper etc are operating at the pre-covid level or even higher than that level.

The vaccine roll out is in full stream. Almost 20 lakhs a day inoculation is helping the country build shield against the virus.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has built a large development and manufacturing capacity for vaccines - In the coming few weeks and months more vaccines should be available.

However, the covid fatigue has set in and that is something to watch out for. Of late, there has been an increase in cases in states like Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi. “We need to enforce the covid appropriate behaviour because we cannot afford a fresh wave of the pandemic.”

Sood said, “While we cannot lower our guard, focus needs to be on prevention and inoculation.”

A tribute to Hardik Singh Malik the fighter pilot in WWI

Maithillee Zaveri

Think of it as a thank you – note that’s more than a centenary long – overdue. Last week, the British Harbour city of Southampton declared that it will build a statue to symbolize the neglected (& often obliterated) benefaction of ethnic minorities who fought for Britain during the first world war between 1914 & 1918. A 17 ft bronze sculpt, anticipated to be ready in 2023 will delineate a man in the uniform of the Majestic Flying Corps - Britain’s airborne army at the time. He’s seeking out intrepidly into the distance, one hand on a mammoth aircraft propulsor. And he’s wearing a toque.

Historical buffs will acknowledge him instantly. Hardik Singh Malik, known lovingly as the Flying Sikh, was the first Indian warrior pilot. His airborne battle not only won combats for the British, it cleared the way for the foundation of an Indian Air Force.

The memorial is a hard-won triumph in more ways than one. To combat the war, Malik had to first fightbias in Britain.

He didn’t have to enrol. He came from affluences and prerogative — the Maliks were a respectable Sikh family from Rawalpindi in Punjab. And young

Hardik, born in 1894, grew up in a magnificentmansion, with horses and carriages, servants and private teachers. He was sent to England to study at 14, becoming the first in his family to attend college when he prosecuted Advanced History at Balliol College, Oxford, in the 1910s. He excelled at sports too, winning golf and playing for the Sussex Cricket Club.

When the Incredible War broke out in 1914, Malik dropped it all to step up, even though he’d be serving in an armed force that wasn’t his &, as it turned out, an armed force that didn’t need him.

Malik tried to join the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in 1915, right after qualifying. But the British saw young Indians in Britain as potential insurgents — hotblooded types planning to depose the Raj. They enrolled more than 1.3 lakh Indians to combat in the trenches, but they didn’t want Indians in the war aircrafts. “There were no opportunities for Indian pupils,” Malik said in an interview to The Times in 1982.

So he joined the French army, serving in the Red Cross in 1916.

Malik was on brink of joining their AéronautiqueMilitaire when his ex – teacher from Oxford, dis-

mayed, wrote to the RFC leader inquiring him to take the young Sikh boy on. It worked. Malik was enrolled as second lieutenant with the RFC’s newSopwith Camels — single-seat fighter biplanes, quick and manoeuvrable, but only by the most experienced &accomplished pilots. The world’s first Indian warrior pilot would be battling for Britain.

And he’d be doing it on his own conditions. Anardent Sikh, Malik denied to take off his turban. Instead he wore a custom-made head protector that fit over it, which earned him the Flying Sikh nickname.

The Sopwith Camels started off with battle missions across France and Italy. Then, late in 1917, came a prominent mid-air dogfight with the Germans over Belgium. It unfurled almost movie-style. Four Camels, rising from a cloud, found themselves encompassed by opponentaircrafts and taking fire from the ground. Bullets flew back and forward. Malik was shot twice in the leg and crash-landed behind opponent lines, bleeding and oblivious. His aircraft had been hit by more than 400 bullets.

He somehow pulled through. “ It was like a miracle,” he remembered in that Times interview. My followers just did not have the bullet with my title on it.” By the time the war finished in 1918,

four Indians had flown within the RFC. Only two pulled through – on of whom was the Flying Sikh.

Some acknowledgement came right away. In 1918, when India was presented with a Sopwith Camel aircraft as respect for the colony’s contribution to the war, Malik was the one who flew it to the ceremony in Manchester.

India served him well too. He got hitched to a legal counsellor, had three kids & joined the Indian Civil Service, serving as a senior serve in Punjab in 1944. Post-Independence, Malik was elected as India’s first high commissioner for Canada, helping secure full citizenship rights for Indians there. He resigned in 1956 as India’s minister to France.

The Flying Sikh breathe his last in 1985, aged 90, those bullets still in his leg, his love of golf & cricket intaglio. The Southampton statue, then, is more than a thank you note. “ We feel blessed that he is being recalled by the new generations,” claimed Malik’s nephew, golfer Ashok Malik. He wishes that the statue, which is meant to represent all the ethnic minorities that combatted in the First World War, bore more of a resemblance to his uncle.” However, it is an amazing feeling for us that the contribution of our elders is being respected by the people for whom they fought.”
