Striking RTC driver
sets himself on fire
Suffers 90%
Burns, Agitation
Intensifies
Sushil.Rao@timesgroup.com
Hyderabad:A striking bus dri-
ver set himself on fire in Kham-
mam on Saturday even as the
Telangana State Road Trans-
port Corporation (TSRTC) stri-
ke entered the eighth day. The
driver, Srinivas Reddy, sustai-
ned 90% burns and was rushed
to a government hospital whe-
re his condition is stated to be
critical. Late in night, he was
shifted to a corporate hospital
in Malakpet and then admitted
to DRDL Apollo Hospital.
Srinivas doused himself in
kerosene and set himself on fi-
re at his home. His son rushed
to his rescue, but he too suffe-
red burns. Following the inci-
dent, the joint action commit-
tee of RTC unions in Kham-
mam called for a bandh in the
district on Sunday.
FULL COVERAGE: P4
As news of the self-immola-
tion spread, the striking emplo-
yees went on the rampage in
Khammam and damaged six
buses. A temporary driver was
also assaulted. RTC unions al-
leged that Srinivas resorted to
the extreme step as he was tro-
ubled by the announcement of
the government that the emplo-
yees had ‘self dismissed’ them-
selves by resorting to the strike.
RTC joint action committee
leader Ashwathama Reddy ap-
pealed to the employees not to
take extreme steps as the
unions were fighting to resolve
the issue with the government.
CM told not to be rigid: P4

O Q1. Which country is marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge from?
Simi’s ‘Chemical
Ali’ nabbed at
Hyd airport
C hhattisgarh Police have
arrested a Simi operati-
ve from the Hyderabad air-
port, six years after he left
the country. He is accused in
the 2013 Bodh Gaya and Pat-
na bomb blasts and was pick-
ed up by the cops immediate-
ly after he arrived from Sau-
di Arabia on Friday night.
Thirty-two-year-old Azha-
ruddin or Azhar, who was al-
so known as ‘Chemical Ali’,
is a native of Raipur and was
on the run since December
2013 after the Chhattisgarh
police’s anti-terrorist squad
busted a Simi sleeper modu-
le and arrested 17 operatives.
Azhar hid in Hyderabad for
some time before reaching
Saudi on a fake passport. P6

Mamallapuram: The deve-

to New Delhi’s decision to do
away with J&K’s special sta-

discussed” during the Modi-
Xi summit here as both lea-

reset in relations between the
world’s two most populous
nations.
Briefing the media after
the summit, foreign secretary
Vijay Gokhale said PM Na-

a wide range of topics in the

Use of school buses for
passenger transport an
insurance nightmare
Nirupa.Vatyam@timesgroup.com
Hyderabad: Using school bu-
ses for public transport might
be providing some respite to de-
nizens, but this move might
cost dearly in case of any unto-
ward incidents.
Although temporary per-
mits are being issued to facilita-
te use of about 700 school buses
for public transport, the insu-
rance these buses are covered
under is only valid for school-
children and the insurance
companies are not liable to pay
compensation — both for own
damage and the third party.
“Forget about giving school
buses on rent to the state go-
vernment, the insurance will
not be valid even if the owner
of the bus uses it for his perso-
nal use,” said Kiran K, an insu-
rance agent who works at a pri-
vate firm and deals with bus in-
surance. He said the state sho-
uld first make it clear whether
it is ready to take the liability
before using school buses.
Insurance agents said that
school buses cannot be used for
‘hire and reward’ even if the
state issues a temporary per-
mit without amending the Mo-
tor Vehicles Act. Insurance
agents said buses are divided
into three types — staff, educa-
tional institutions, and pas-
senger — and that while premi-
um for educational institution
buses is very low, for passenger
buses it is way more as the
risk factor is higher. Transport
officials, however, claimed
otherwise. They said that tem-
porary permit issued by them
should be enough to get an insu-
rance claim.
“As we are issuing them a
temporary permit, I think the-
re should not be any problem
with insurance,” said C Ra-
mesh, joint transport commis-
sioner, Telangana. He said insu-

Hyderabad: Telangana BJP
president K Laxman suffered

Laxman was taken to Na-
rayanguda police station and
then admitted to NIMS at

ter spoke to reporters, said

rance claims might not be
stringent as the state govern-
ment issued instructions. Ra-
mesh said they are using servi-
ces of 7,000 private buses, of
which 700 belongs to schools,
and school buses will be relie-
ved as and when schools reopen
after Dasara vacation.
There are 3,000 RTC owned
buses, 1,500 hired, and remai-
ning are private buses, maxi-
cabs and seven-seaters. While
hired buses get insurance from
RTC corpus fund, other vehi-
cles are not covered through the
said fund. Several educationa-
lists, who own schools in the ci-
ty, said they gave buses out of
compulsion, and that they did
not pay additional premium.
“We were asked to pay `450
for route permit. They did not
say anything about taking addi-
tional insurance. We just follo-
wed their orders and are under
impression that the state go-
vernment will take the liability
in case of any untoward inci-
dents,” said V Amarnath, foun-
der, Vasireddy Educational

Murder-accused
stabbed by rival
Hyderabad: A 25-year-old
man accused of murder is in
critical condition after being
stabbed by a rival near an eate-
ry in Chaderghat on Saturday.
The victim, Afzal Siddiqui
had enmity with one Rafae.
Police suspect that Rafae bore
a grudge which was probably
the motive behind the attack.
Bystanders who tried to inter-
vene were warned off by the
assailant.
“The accused stabbed him
in the stomach. The victim
was rushed to OGH for treat-
ment. He was earlier accused
in a murder case in 2016,” Cha-
derghat inspector G Nagaraju
said. An attempt to murder ca-
se was registered. TNN

W hile it is certainly
important to make more
playgrounds available to the
common public, one major
thing that needs to stop
immediately is encroachment
of grounds. Also, the
authorities must provide
basic amenities like cleaning
drinking water and sanitation,
so that they can be used for
all sports.
— Bhavani Gummadi
Ramoorthy P
Ifully agree with this suggestion. The playgrounds that were
available during my childhood days, have either turned into
concrete jungles now or in the hands of land grabbers. Not only
government schools, it is very disheartening to see that large
playgrounds in private schools too are not being utilised to the
fullest. Considering that there are very few private clubs that offer
coaching in cricket, tennis and badminton -- which very few can
afford – I think the state government should enact a law to permit
government and private school/college playgrounds to be used
by general public after school hours and also during holidays.
Hope this becomes a reality very soon so that it can help budding
sportspersons from Telangana to break into the international
arena. — Col (retd) S D Chandra Shaker
N early 50% of the schools in twin cities do not have
playgrounds. Henceforth, the government should not give
permission to schools that do not have proper infrastructure
especially playgrounds. Further, it will be a welcome move by the
government, if school playgrounds are opened up to the public
after school hours. To develop a healthy lifestyle the state should
also create new playgrounds, walking tracks, cycling tracks and
encourage sports among children.

Hyderabad: Restoring the glory of undi-

structures can help put the state on the
global tourism map, said experts at a con-

Highlighting one such neglected

being done to restore it,” he said. He ad-

said that 12 lakh youth in Te-

He alleged that chief

He said unemploy-

‘Let’s Not Let Differences Play Spoiler’

Two Sides To Establish High-Level Economic & Trade Dialogue Mechanism
Indrani.Bagchi@timesgroup.com
Mamallapuram: After the
Wuhan Spirit, it was the
Chennai Connect as Narend-
ra Modi and Xi Jinping wrap-
ped up the second informal
summit which ensured that
both sides had a much deeper
idea of each other’s priori-
ties and tried to resolve some
of the bottlenecks that con-
strain the relationship.
In all, the two leaders
spent about six hours toget-
her in direct discussions with
an additional delegation le-
vel talks thrown in. Chinese
ambassador to India Sun Wei-
dong tweeted: “Dragon and
Elephant have a tango.”
Xi arrived at Fishermen’s
Cove in Mamallapuram on Sa-
turday morning for a 50-minu-
te tete-a-tete with Modi, contin-
uing discussions last night.
The two leaders took a stroll al-
ong the beach front. An MEA
statement later said the lead-
ers “had an in-depth exchange
of views in a friendly atmosp-
here on overarching, long-te-

rm and strategic issues of glo-
bal and regional importance.”
Terrorism as a global
threat came up for discussion
in terms of a shared chal-
lenge. “As countries that are
large and diverse, they recog-
nised the importance of con-
tinuing to make joint efforts
to ensure that the internatio-
via Reuters
nal community strengthens
the framework against trai-
ning, financing and suppor-
ting terrorist groups throug-
hout the world and on a non-
discriminatory basis.”
The two sides will set up a
high-level mechanism hea-
ded by finance minister Nir-
mala Sitharaman and Chine-
se vice-premier Hu Chunhua.
Foreign secretary Vijay Gok-
hale said it will look at trade,
investment and services.
Post-Doklam, the Wuhan
summit resulted in Modi and
Xi issuing “strategic guidan-
ce” to respective militaries to
maintain peace and this time
there was a pledge to deepen
economic cooperation and
tackle differences over trade.
AChinese foreign ministry
statement stated: “Under the
current international situa-
tion, China and India are sho-
uldering more and more im-
portant responsibilities in ma-
intaining global stability and
promoting development. The
next few years will be a critical
period for China and India to
achieve national rejuvenation,
as well as for the development
of China-India relations.”
According to the Chinese
statement, Xi suggested that
India and China “should take a
correct view of each other’s de-
velopment and enhance stra-
tegic mutual trust. We should
correctly look at the differen-
ces between the two countries
and not let them dilute the ove-
rall situation of cooperation
between the two countries”.
The statement said the
two countries “should carry
out strategic communica-
tion in a timely and effective
manner” and look for a “fair
and reasonable solution to
the border issue that is acce-
ptable to both sides”.
Xi, said the statement, cal-
led for “careful handling of
issues involving each other’s
core interests; improve the le-
vel of military security ex-
changes and cooperation”.
The establishment of the
high-level economic and tra-
de dialogue mechanism, he
felt, offers the opportunity to
strengthen convergence on
economic development, and
Indian pharma and technolo-
gy companies were “welco-
me” to invest in China.
The last two suggestions
were to “enrich” cultural
exchanges and “strength-
en” cooperation in interna-
tional and regional affairs.

If India had hoped to wow

Beijing: Even before he rea-
ched Kathmandu on Satur-
day, Chinese President Xi
Jinping spelt out what he in-
tended to do during his Ne-
pal visit. Some of what he sa-
id has implications for Indi-
a’s influence in Nepal.
China’s expectations of
Nepal go beyond infrast-
ructure construction and
cover areas like military
exchanges, border protec-
tion and training of go-
vernment personnel. “We
need to scale up border de-
fence contacts to fight
transnational crimes more
effectively and ensure the
safety of our nationals and
smooth flow of trade,” Xi
said in a signed article pub-
lished in Nepalese media.
Xi said Nepal and China
are working to build or up-
grade highways, airports
and power plants.
While China might seek
to enhance its influence
with Nepal, the moves wo-
uld mean a reduction in In-
dian influence in the Hima-
layan kingdom. China’s
push into Nepal would also
mean a sharp reduction in

Indian construction com-

Xi made a pointed refe-
rence to the fact that Nepal
makes efforts to maintain
the “one-China policy and
prohibits any force from
using its territory for anti-
China activities”.
Nepal keeps a close
watch on its Tibetan popula-
tion and tries to detain poli-
tical dissenters and suppor-
ters of the Dalai Lama who
have fled from China and ta-
ken refuge in the Himalayan
republic. Beijing is now try-

railway deal
with China
Kathmandu: Chinese Presi-
dent Xi Jinping arrived in Ne-
pal on Saturday on a state visit
for talks with Prime Minister
KP Sharma Oli and both sides
are expected to sign a deal ex-
panding a railway link betwe-
en the Himalayan nation and
Tibet, officials said.
Xi, the first Chinese presi-
dent to visit Nepal in 22 years,
arrived here after a two day in-
formal summit with PM Na-
rendra Modi. President Bidya
Devi Bhandari greeted Xi on ar-
rival at the airport. Thousands
of people stood along the flower
festooned route to welcome the
Chinese leader as he drove from
the airport to the hotel.
Xi will meet Oli on Sunday
and the two leaders are expec-
ted to witness their officials
sign a slew of deals, including
the planned extension of the ra-
il link from remote, mountaino-
us Tibet to Nepal’s capital, Kat-
hmandu, officials said. The link
will be part of China’s Belt and
Road Initiative, Xi’s signature
project that Nepal joined in 2017.
Nepal, a natural buffer bet-
ween India and China, sees
the rail link with China as an
alternative to its dependence
on India. New Delhi accounts
for nearly two-thirds of Ne-
pal's trade and is the sole sour-
ce of its fuel supply. REUTERS

The Indian government
has believed for some time
that the Chinese official sy-
stem is much more hidebound
than Xi. This was one of the
big takeaways during the Dok-
lam crisis, which was put on a
path to resolution only after
the Chinese President interve-
ned. That was one of the trig-
gers for Modi proposing the in-
formal summit with Xi — to
build a one-on-one channel for

Alby John, Greater Chen-

known plogger, says the PM’s
act could help bust myths abo-

are under the assumption that
cleaning up a public space for
a day cannot bring about las-
ting change or keep up the pa-
ce forever. But we have always
awareness against littering

of plastic. If an individual or
a family plogs once, they also
become less prone to litter-

out a clear message — strive
for a clean environment, and a
fit and healthy body.”

Muslim board
to challenge Shah: Promoting transparency Snatchers target PM’s niece;
triple talaq law
TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Lucknow: The All India Mus-

lim Personal Law Board
(AIMPLB) on Saturday decided
to challenge the constitutional-
ity of the Muslim Women (Pro-
tection of Rights on Marriag-
es) Act 2019, which criminalis-

Members of the board
passed a resolution stating that
“far from protecting rights of
Muslim women and children
in marriage, the law will de-
stroy marriages and render the
Muslim women destitute”.
The working committee al-
so called the Uniform Civil
Code and called the concept a
“threat to diversity”. “The
board will oppose any attempt
to destroy the nation’s fabric
through court or legislative
measures,” the AIMPLB sai-

‘Large Number Of Pleas Do Not Indicate Government’s Success’
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Home minister
Amit Shah on Saturday said a
large number of RTI applica-
tions do not represent a gov-
ernment’s success and added
that the Centre is working to
create a governance system to
enable people with informa-
tion so that they do not feel the
need to file for information.
While agreeing that the
Right to Information Act over
a 14-year journey has acted as
the bridge to build public trust
that was missing in the gov-
ernance system, Shah said the
law should be used to promote
transparency and not be used
for personal reasons. He cited
the governance tracker dash-
board introduced by PM Modi
as the beginning of a new era
in transparent governance.
“For instance, one can go
to the dashboard and see how
many toilets have been built
under Swachh Bharat Abhi-
Home minister Amit Shah at a programme to celebrate Guru Nanak’s
550th birth anniversary in New Delhi on Saturday
yaan. Women can click on the
dashboard and get to know the
status as to when will they get
a cooking gas cylinder under
the Ujjwala Yojana,” he said.
He was speaking at the 14th an-
nual convention of the Cen-
tral Information Commission
in New Delhi.
Shah also urged the cen-
tral information commis-
sioner and the RTI machinery
to inform people about steps
taken so that they don’t file ap-
plications for information al-
ready available in the public
domain.
He reiterated that RTI must
be used judiciously and not fil-
ed to harass anyone by filing an
application to delay a promo-
tion or stall a tender to serve
some vested interests. Mean-
while, chief information com-
missioner Sudhir Bhargava
shared the status of complaints
to point that in 2014-15, 7.55 lakh
complaints were received under
RTI by various government de-
partments. This number rose to
13.7 lakh in 2018-19. However, in
terms of rejection of applica-
tions had gone down from 8.39%
in 2014-15 to 4% in 2018-19. A com-
parison of the same period
shows that first appeals are
down from 10.29% to 9.29% and
second appeal from 4.19% to
1.39%.
Even as Shah emphasised
on an efficient governance sys-
tem, Central Information Com-
mission is currently working
with just seven information
commissioners including its
chief. Four posts of informa-
tion commissioners are lying
vacant which is seen to be the
major cause for growing pen-
dency of complaints and ap-
peals in the Commission.

New Delhi: The latest victim
in the string of snatching inci-
dents in the capital in the past
few months is PM Narendra
Modi’s niece, Damayantiben
Modi. And the incident happe-
ned in the high-security area
of Raj Niwas Marg. The spot is
close to the residences of the li-
eutenant-governor and CM.
Damayantiben was getting
off an auto-rickshaw near a gu-
esthouse of Delhi Gujarati
Samaj on Saturday morning
when the criminals struck.
They fled with her bag which
contained Rs 56,000 in cash, two
mobile phones, her family’s
flight tickets for Ahmedabad
and her ID cards. The police ha-
ve registered a case of snat-
ching at the Civil Lines police
station.
Govt should take
measures to ensure
women, who are most
vulnerable in such
cases, are not
targeted
I did not reveal
I was PM’s
niece... they (cops) took
down my complaint with
diligence & started probing
— Damayantiben Modi
The two have been captured
in CCTV and are seen on a two-
wheeler with Damayantiben’s
red purse. They are not wearing
helmets and the pillion rider is
wearing a green T shirt with the
bag in his lap. Teams from the
crime branch and special cell
have been roped in to track
them down. Raids are being
conducted in areas around Ti-
marpur, Wazirabad and Kash-
mere Gate. Damayantiben, her
husband,Vikas, and their two
children had reached the Old
Delhi railway station from
Amritsar around 7am and we-
re to leave for Ahmedabad on
an afternoon flight. They had
booked a room at the guesthou-
se. The auto-rickshaw had
dropped the family outside the
guesthouse around 7.15am.
Damayantiben said that
Vikas and the children were
helping with the luggage and
she was paying the fare to the
auto driver when she was
caught unawares. In her state-
ment, she said that two youths
suddenly drove towards them
from the Raj Niwas side in the
wrong carriageway at a high
speed and slowed down near
the auto-rickshaw. The pillion
rider bent forward and snat-
ched her bag from the seat.

“It is unfortunate. There
was no financial transac-

and the Patel family was not
associated with the transac-
tion in any manner,” the
person told TOI. The Patel
family had bought the prop-
erty on which Ceejay House

the former Maharaja of

the court receiver from 1978

question. As part of the deal
concluded during 2006-07, two
floors on the Ceejay House was
transferred to Memons in 2007
“towards beneficial interest of

Raghuram Rajan has at-
tacked the Narendra Modi
government, saying its major-

down a “dark and uncertain

Urooj Khan TNN
Lucknow: A flight to Chennai
taxiing for takeoff from Amausi
airport came to a screeching halt
on the tarmac after a bomb alert
to the pilot from air traffic con-
trol (ATC) on Saturday evening.
Passengers went into a tizzy and
panic gripped the airport as
bomb disposal squads swung in-
to action. For four hours, strand-
ed flyers were on edge of their
seats before security agencies
termed it a hoax. After the ATC
green signal, the flight sched-
uled for 7:25 pm, finally took off
30 minutes to midnight.
The bomb scare followed an
alleged tipoff to CISF at the air-
port gate by a Delhi-bound pas-
senger about explosives in the
cargo of the Chennai-bound
flight.
Sanjay K Narayan, officer on
special duty, Airport Authority
of India, said, “A passenger, Piy-
ush Verma, came to board the
Delhi-bound 6E447 IndiGo flight,
scheduled to take off at 10.40 pm.
After the security check at Gate
No. 5, CISF personnel observed
Piyush moving suspiciously.
When they asked Verma about
his unusual behaviour, he told
the jawans he knew about a
bomb inside the Chennai-bound
6E518 IndiGo flight.”
CISF swiftly alerted the air-
port director, CISF senior com-
mandant, bomb detection and
disposal team, quick reaction
team and dog squads. The ATC
was alerted and the pilot asked to
slam the brakes, said Narayan.
Bomb squads scanned the plane
and thoroughly scoured the air-
port premises for explosives till
late night.
AK Sharma, director, Amau-
si Airport said, “Anti-sabotage
measures were put in place in
the entire airport, but informa-
tion given by the Delhi-bound
passenger turned out to be false.
He’s mentally challenged and
was handed over to police. The
flight took off safely with all pas-
sengers after clearance by bomb
detection teams.”
Circle Officer, Krishnana-
gar, Amit Rai, said, “Hoax caller
Piyush Verma is a resident of
Lakhimpur and came Lucknow
to visit his relatives. When
grilled on his source of informa-
tion about a bomb in the flight,

New Delhi/Srinagar: Seven-

Valley following the annul-
ment of Jammu and Kash-

will move closer to restoration
of normal life with the state go-
vernment announcing re-
sumption of post-paid mobile

While voice calls and SMS

The move is set to benefit aro-

Students who had cleared
NEET and studying in other

ar for NEET again. These
students are made to opt for
medical colleges (named in
the scam) by blocking seats,

SWAMINOMICS
SWAMINATHAN S ANKLESARIA AIYAR
Greta Thunberg, the 16-year old Swedish
girl who lectured the United Nations on
climate change, is being touted as a pos-
sible Nobel Prize winner. She believes she
and her white Swedish teenage friends
have to save the world from us terrible oldies who created
the oil and coal industries.
She will be appalled by the plea of India’s coal secretary,
Subhash Chandra Garg, that India must urgently expand
ENERGY DEBATE: A total switch to solar and wind energy is
impossible since these are produced only intermittently.
For the rest of the time, India needs coal-based electricity
and island economies, led by Qatar (43.9 metric tonnes).
Of the industrialised countries, the USA is easily the big-
gest emitter (16.5 metric tonnes) followed by Australia (15.4
metric tonnes), Canada (15.2 metric tonnes), Russia (11.9
metric tonnes), Japan (9.5 metric tonnes) and Germany
(8.9 metric tonnes).
Hindu Americans from running for office
By making it to October 15’s presidential election debate,
Tulsi Gabbard, a Congresswoman from Hawaii who
identifies herself as Hindu American because of her practice
of Vaishnava Hinduism, stays in the race to win a White
House nomination. She speaks to Chidanand Rajghatta

ABC called journeys of faith
and we actually spoke in detail
about my own spiritual prac-
tice of Vaishnava Hinduism,
what some people see as an upsurge of Hindu
nationalism and Hindu pride? Imran Khan for
one has compared Hindu nationalism to events
in Nazi Germany to suggest it is dangerous.
I could not attend because of prior Presiden-
tial campaign commitments. Hindu nation-
alism is a term that many people are using
frequently without being specific about what
they mean by that. Why is expressing pride
in one’s religion a bad thing? If you take out
the word Hindu and you replace it with Mus-
lim or Catholic or Jewish, then what do you
end up with? There is an unfortunate Hindu-
phobic approach taken to Hindus who are
expressing their pride.

its coal production from 600 million tonnes a year to a
billion tonnes per year to meet basic energy needs. Yet
Garg is right. Thunberg made headlines by sailing to the
US in a solar-powered-ship to avoid using fuel oil. Does she
have any idea of the enormous electricity used to produce
the solar cells in her ship?
India is a lower middle income country. Sweden is
among the richest. Despite the green sermons, Sweden’s
annual per capita carbon emissions are 4.5 metric tonnes,
higher than India (1.7 metric tonnes), Pakistan (0.9 metric
tonnes) or Bangladesh (0.5 metric tonnes). South Asians
can double their carbon emissions without matching Swe-
den’s prodigality.
Widespread activist attempts to stop all oil and coal
production are hypocritical. A total switch to solar and
wind energy is impossible since these are produced only
intermittently when the sun shines and wind blows, may-
be 25% of the year on an average. For the rest of the time,
India needs coal-based electricity. Maybe new electric stor-
age technology will ultimately change that, but today India
needs massive coal expansion for thermal power.
Current carbon emissions are just the tip of the iceberg.
More than 90% of historical carbon emissions since the
industrial revolution are the cumulative emissions of rich
western countries and Japan. The share of developing
countries, including India, is a tiny fraction. Sorry Greta,
the problem is not that grown-ups like me have ruined
your future but that rich Swedes are still emitting more
carbon than coal-using Indians.
Economist Kirit Parikh once framed India’s policy as
being “we will never emit more carbon per capita than the
West”. This would allow India to raise its emissions six-fold
or more without being worse than others. Modi has em-
braced renewables massively. Even so, for round-the-clock
power, India will have to create much more coal-based
capacity. If the West develops viable carbon-capture tech-
nologies, India will happily adopt those.
The greatest carbon emitters are small oil producers
Coal India Ltd is a truly third-rate coal producer. De-
spite Modi’s rah-rah talk of renewables, imports of ther-
mal coal in 2018 grew at a record 19% to 172 million tonnes.
This is insane because India has the third largest coal
reserves in the world. For India to be importing coal is like
Kuwait to be importing oil. It is crazy.
India nationalised coal in the 1970s in the belief that
the public sector would optimise coal production. What a
hope! In underground mines, India’s output per man shift
(OMS) is a pathetic 0.8 tonnes against no less than 40 tonnes
in Australia. In open cast mines, India has improved re-
cently from an OMS of 8.6 tonnes in 2007-08 to 16.6 tonnes
in 2017-18, but this is still way behind Australia’s best (75
tonnes). Enough said.
Political parties have over the years slowly and reluc-
tantly, chipped away at Coal India’s monopoly. First private
production was allowed but only for captive consumption.
Last year, full commercial mining was allowed, but no
auctions took place. Earlier, foreign companies were al-
lowed only a 25% stake in coal, but finally in August 100%
FDI was allowed by the automatic route.
Is this too late? Globally, coal mining giants are under
fire by activist investors and NGOs, and some are selling
coal assets. The World Bank and some other financiers
will not finance coal mines. But Indian banks will. India
is one of the few countries where coal still has a big future
for at least a decade or two.
Garg argues, rightly, for auctioning massive world-sized
coal blocks, not the small ones of past years. Environmen-
tal and tribal clearance, plus railway links, must be ob-
tained in advance, so that projects do not stall halfway.
This requires a sea-change in culture that is absolutely
necessary. India may one day become the world’s biggest
solar energy producer but needs to underpin that with
thermal power.

are polling?
The debates are very helpful to increase
national name recognition — which really
is what polls are measuring — and convey
my positions. Right now, you have Vice
President Biden who was in office for eight
years, and Senator Bernie Sanders who just
ran for president in the last election, as lead-
ing candidates. So you’re talking about
people who already have 100% name recog-
nition across the country that I don’t have.
So, the debates are a helpful platform to
increase my visibility and outreach.
You identify yourself quite strongly as a
Hindu American. Is that a handicap? Did I hear
you say there is an element of Hinduphobia in
the US?
I would not say it’s coming from many
people, but certainly from some political
opponents and some in the media who don’t
like the message that I’m delivering. They
are resorting to these Hinduphobic attacks
and smears. I don’t see it as a handicap. I
am who I am. If you look at the vast major-
ity of voters and people in this country, they
are open and welcoming and treat one an-
other with respect in the spirit of unity.
Frankly, we need more of that in this coun-
try to be able to heal some of the wounds
and divides of race, ethnicity, religion, ori-
entation and politics.
I did hear one interview where you were
questioned quite aggressively about your reli-
gious beliefs. Does that bother you?
I just did a long-form podcast interview with
how it has impacted and influ-
enced my life. It was a very good conversa-
tion with someone who was sincere and
looking for the answers. But you contrast
that with some of the other things that
you’re hearing where people already have
an agenda and they’re pushing it in a very
divisive and destructive way. While the ques-
tioning doesn’t bother me personally, what
concerns me is that it may discourage other
Hindu Americans from running for office.
It discourages them from being able to cel-
ebrate being who they are — a part of the
beautiful unique fabric of diversity that is
the United States of America.
What is your sense of the support
you’re getting from Indian Amer-
icans? Is it just Hindu Americans
or is there broader support?
It is a broad cross section of
support from people of all dif-
ferent religious backgrounds,
and from people who are first
generation immigrants.
Some are supporters of
BJP, some are supporters
of the Congress, some
are agnostic… so it’s a
broad cross section.

You’ve served in the military and spoken a
lot about futile wars and the need to bring back
US troops home. What is your sense of the
Afghan war and Pakistan’s role in it?
I have been very outspoken about how our
troops should have come home from Af-
ghanistan long ago. We went there in the
wake of 9/11 to find terrorists who carried
that out, and to defeat them. Our leaders
over time have used that attack to begin a
series of these wasteful regime change
wars. It should have been very focused
about going in, defeating them and leaving,
rather than this long-standing occupation
and nation building that we’ve seen in Iraq
and in Syria now. These decisions have
cost us tremendously in American
lives and trillions of taxpayer
dollars that we need for our
schools, our healthcare
system, our infrastructure
etc. They have weakened
our national security and
strengthened terrorist
groups like ISIS. As for

stan.

Enough with the Pak obsession. True patriotism isn’t about bashing others
THE UNDERAGE OPTIMIST
CHETAN BHAGAT
One of the peculiar things about
Indians is that we love to see Pa-
kistan humiliated. Our news
channels, only mirroring what
people want to see, often run
shows on how we managed to expose/shame/hu-
miliate Pakistan and/or Imran Khan, yet again.
Hindi news channels are the most creative and
enthusiastic. They show a sad Imran Khan picture
(his gaze downwards, disappointed expression).
Headlines comprise the choicest Hindi idioms in-
dicating humiliation — “Pakistan ki naak kat gayi/
ne ghutne tek diye/sharam se paani paani/kahin
ka na raha/ne muh ki khayi”. Whether a UN sum-
mit, the PM’s US visit or evidence of terrorism or
mismanagement in Pakistan, we love to take jibes
at our neighbour.
If it were just about a few Pakistan jokes going
around, it would all have been harmless fun. How-
ever, the problem is deeper and chronic. As Indian
nationalism rises, putting down Pakistan has be-
come an essential part of it. This mindset of ‘we are
better than Pakistan’ and seeking constant valida-
tion of that needs to stop. It is harming us. I have no
love for Pakistan. The regime’s violence and terror
has harmed India. To that extent, yes, India must
continue to tell the world of the Pakistan regime’s
wrongdoings. However, for our own growth’s sake,
we must stop comparing and feeling good about be-
ing better than Pakistan on a daily basis.
After all, do we compare ourselves with Bang-
ladesh or Sri Lanka? Do we ever say Indian diplo-
mats shut up Lankan officials at the UN? Or that
we managed to humiliate the leader of Bangla-
desh? No, we don’t do it. We know all this is be-
neath us. We are also quite secure of our place
when it comes to these countries.
However, when it comes to Pakistan, we change.
We enjoy bringing them down, but in doing so we
end up comparing ourselves to them. When we com-
pare ourselves to them, we also equate ourselves to
them at some level. And if we consider Pakistan an
equal, aren’t we only insulting ourselves?
Please note the facts. The Indian economy is ten
times the size of Pakistan. Pakistan’s GDP is less
than Maharashtra’s GDP. India is still a democracy
(with its flaws, sure). Pakistan never graduated to
being a real country. We are secular in constitution.
They are officially about one religion. Factually,
whether in economic, demographic, political struc-
ture or social equality terms — Pakistan is no match
to India. Still, guess who loves to ‘rub their nose’ on
TV every night? Insecure, low esteem us, isn’t it?
To get rid of this damaging obsession, it is im-
portant to understand why we have it in the first
place. One, for sure they are troublemakers at a dif-
ferent level, compared to almost any of our neigh-
bours. Their constant disruption of Indian life
makes it difficult to ignore them. Note that they
want to be compared to us. And as per that regime’s
twisted thinking, they feel annoying us makes them
equal to us. A mosquito annoying an elephant
doesn’t make him equal to an elephant. However, if
the elephant loses his cool and gets obsessed with
the mosquito, then yes, the elephant has reduced
himself to being the mosquito’s equal.
The second reason for our Pakistan obsession
is our language and culture commonality, particu-
larly for North Indians. It is just strange to see peo-
ple who look like us, talk like us, eat like us (at least
a few dishes), watch the same movies and listen to
the same music being such adversaries of ours. That
commonality is hard to shake off, but we must. If
India has to progress, it better start not comparing
itself with anyone else. If we have to compare, we
should do it with China, Europe and America. To
rise, look above, not below.
The third reason for our obsession is the bloody
Partition and the way Pakistan was created. Paki-
stan’s creation was a hasty, ill-thought negotiation.
The decision to make Pakistan was also one of the
most communal decisions ever taken in India’s his-
tory. The pain of that time makes it difficult to for-
get them. That is why you see our senior citizens
more obsessed with Pakistan. The younger genera-
tion, hopefully, doesn’t carry this baggage.
The fourth reason is something we don’t like to
talk about. That is, hating Pakistan is an acceptable
surrogate to hating Muslims. No self-respecting
Indian would be caught openly bashing Muslims.
However, bashing Pakistan is acceptable, and may
even be appreciated as a sign of patriotism.
However, it is time India, and we as Indians, grow
up. True patriotism is not about bashing others. It
is about aiming high for your own country. Given
Pakistan’s deeds towards India, we have no love for
them. But remember, the opposite of love is not hate.
It is indifference. Obsessing about them, even if
with hate, is also a form of engagement. It only low-
ers India’s level and keeps us behind. It is time we
stop obsessing about Pakistan and focus on our-
selves. It is time we give Pakistan what it truly de-
serves from us — indifference.

Pune: Day 4 is here. And if South Af-
rica bat well, the match lasting all five
days cannot be ruled out either.
Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj
(Test best: 72 runs, 132b, 12x4s) and
paceman Vernon Philander (44*, 192b,
6x4s) added 109 runs for the ninth
wicket and ensured South Africa re-
plied with 275 all out to India’s total of
601-5 declared on the third day of sec-
ond Test here on Saturday.
More importantly, they batted for
about 43 overs, among the best efforts
by a ninth-wicket pair or lower in In-
dia. In the process, they ended the
speculation that this Test could get
over in three days.
They also showed their more accom-
plished batsmen a trick or two. And
mind you, this pitch is far from demor-
alizing for the bowlers of any variety.
India, 326 runs ahead, will have to
convey their follow-on decision on
Sunday morning.
Off-spinner R Ashwin (4-69) was the
most successful bowler. Comeback
pacer Umesh Yadav took 3-37 but was
given only nine overs on the day.
Maharaj and Philander had strug-
gled on the first two days of the ongoing
at the Gahunje stadium here. They
didn’t go that extra distance with the
ball. While Maharaj wilted under pres-
sure applied by India’s batsmen, Philan-
der could only induce edges. Maharaj
even dropped Virat Kohli when the bats-
man was batting on just three on Day 1.
It was their turn to be on the right
side of luck on Saturday. And they
worked hard for it. Maharaj and Phi-
lander applied themselves and soaked
in the pressure without going for
fancy strokes.

Pune: Indian pacers steaming in with in-
tent has left fans, scribes and pundits in
awe. But not Ravichandran Ashwin, or
his teammates. They are not surprised by
what they see on the field anymore and wo-
uld want everyone to get used to it.
“Last evening, (Friday) (the way) Is-
hant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Moham-
med Shami ran in was extremely special.
The way Shami was getting the ball to car-
ry over to the keeper, it was a pleasant
sight to see as it doesn’t happen often in In-
dia,” Ashwin, 33, said. “The pace attack of
ours has completely earned the right of
doing such things and we aren’t surprised
about it anymore.”
South Africa resumed their innings
from 36-3 at the start of the day, and were
tottering at 53-5, all five wickets shared by
Yadav and Shami. After that, India had to
toil till the last over of the day to get the re-
maining five wickets. But that did not fru-
strate Ashwin. “I don’t get frustrated and
don’t want to get frustrated either as I am
happy to be bowling again. Whoever bats
again, I am happy to keep bowling at them.
It is a good pitch and Phi-
lander batted beautifully.
His defensive technique
against spin and fast bow-
ling was wonderful. He
played with soft hands and
the bat face was slightly
running down. I think the myth of tail-en-
ders is over-stated and when he bats well,
he bats well.
“Nowadays, nobody is really a mug
with the bat. In our team also, everybody
bats pretty well till No. 11,” Ashwin gave
credit where it was due. Wriddhiman Saha
returned to the Test setup after a long inju-
ry lay-off and has been brilliant behind
the wickets. He took a superb diving catch
to dismiss Theunis de Bruyn, and Ashwin
was all praise for him.
“Time and again a lot of people from
within the team have spoken about Saha
and it’s a no-brainer to say Saha is one of
the best going around. I have hardly seen
him miss anything from the rough. It just
indicates what good set of hands he has
got. He has had some handy contributions
for the team. Great character and great ke-
eper to have in the team.” he said.

Pune: South Africa’s top-order batsman
Temba Bavuma can feel his ego some-
what dented after Vernon Philander and
Keshav Maharaj showed there was no de-
mons in the Pune track, where the estab-
lished players came a cropper in the se-
cond Test. “Look, from the guys at the top
of the order, entrusted with scoring the
bulk of the runs, it does kind of hurt. It do-
es dent your ego when they (lower-order)
seem to know how to go out and fight it out
to do what you’re really playing to do,” Ba-
vuma, who has not had a great series, said
at the end of the third day’s play.
The positive aspect of the South Afri-
can first essay was the fact that the pitch
has remained firm and is still good for bat-
ting. “I think looking forward to the se-
cond innings, there is a lot of confidence
we can take in from the fact that it is not all
demons out there. We just got to find a way
to dominate with the bat just as India have
done so,” said the pint-sized right-hander.
Bavuma failed to pinpoint why South
Africa’s top-order save Dean Elgar in the
first Test has consistently failed in three
successive innings. PTI

October 14 is the deadline for all nomina-
tions and on that given day there will only
be two possibilities: either the office-be-
arers and representatives to the apex coun-
cil — new governing structure mandated by
the Supreme Court — will be unanimously
appointed (which means there will be no
elections); or the members will once again
move court against the Committee of Ad-
ministrators’ (COA) recent decision to de-
bar six associations from voting.
Much as there’s consensus among a ma-
jority of members that appointments will
be unanimous, anyone who’s witnessed
BCCI’s power-politics from close quarters
will know, it’s never over until it really is.
On Saturday morning, former BCCI
president N Srinivasan landed in New Del-
hi, giving way to immense speculation that
he was there to ‘solicit guidance’ from some
highly-placed individuals in the govern-
ment.
Meanwhile, those tracking develop-
ments told TOI: Senior cricket administra-
notice from the COA – landed in Dubai on
Saturday evening for the three-day
Board meeting of the International
Cricket Council (ICC), against the wishes
of the Vinod Rai-led committee.
tor from Karnataka, Brijesh Patel, who ar-
rived in Mumbai on Saturday, is all set to ta-
ke over as the new president of the BCCI.
Arun Dhumal from Himachal Pradesh,
brother of former BCCI president Anurag
Thakur, is the front-runner for the secreta-
ry’s role and in the same vein could also be
appointed India’s representative at the In-
ternational Cricket Council (ICC). Jay Shah
from Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) is
expected to be the members’ representative
in the new apex council. Former Delhi bats-
man Surinder Khanna is seen as the front-
runner for the chair of IPL governing coun-
cil representative in the council. Former In-
dia players Kirti Azad and Shantha Rangas-
wamy could become male and female crick-
eters’ representative in the council.

they are both injury-free. "If they're

He takes wickets, he's got a lot of know-

Chandigarh: Manju Rani took to
boxing at the age of 12 in 2010 after the
death of her father Bhim Sen, a Bor-
der Security Force (BSF) jawan who
succumbed to stomach cancer. The
loss of her father led to anger issues
and her family encouraged Manju to
take up boxing to vent her frustra-
tion. It soon became a passion and
then her mission in life. She wanted
to be the best in the world.
Nine years on, Manju went a step
closer to her dream, advancing to the
48kg final of the World Women’s Box-
ing Championships at Ulan-Ude,
Russia, on Saturday. Seeded sixth,
Manju defeated Thailand’s Chutha-
mat Raksat 4-1 in her semifinal bout.
Earlier in May, Rani had lost to the
same opponent in Thailand Open.
She will now take on second-seeded
Russian, Ekaterina Paltceva, in the
fight for gold on Sunday.
The other three Indian women
in the semifinals – six-time cham-
pion MC Mary Kom (51kg) and As-
sam girls Jamuna Boro (54kg) and
Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) – settled
for bronze medals.
Mary Kom, seeded third, lost 1-4

reigning European Champion. Boro

The Indian contingent sought a
review of the decision in Mary
Kom’s bout but the appeal was tur-
ned down by the International Box-
ing Association's (AIBA) technical
committee. The rules mandate that
the decision has to be either 3-2 or
3-1 for an appeal to be even accepted
for consideration.
When Manju left for Russia, she
was a bit apprehensive as it was her
first world championship. But she
found the strength and confidence
to get into the final.
Manju’s journey from Haryana
to Russia via Punjab had seen eno-
ugh turbulence for the youngster to
be a little anxious. She had started
with almost nothing. All she had
was a pair of borrowed gloves, a sal-
war kameez to train in and worn-
there were butterflies in my sto-
mach. But the job is still half done. I
will go for the gold on Sunday. I want
to hear the national anthem,” Man-
ju told TOI from Ulan-Ude, Russia.
Speaking about her semifinal bo-
ut, Manju said: “I had lost to Raksat
in the Thailand Open. But this time I
was better prepared. I played the wai-
ting game in the first round and then
went all out in the next two rounds.”
It has been an amazing year for
Manju. In January, she won gold
medal at the senior national boxing
championship in Vijayanagar in
her maiden attempt. Then came a
silver at the 70th Strandja Memori-
al Boxing Tournament in Sofia,
Bulgaria, her maiden internatio-
nal outing. She went on to bag bron-
ze medals in the India Open and
Thailand Open.
A never-say-die spirit helped
Manju overcome the financial
constraints after her father’s death.
Her mother Ishwanti Devi raised
her five kids – four daughters and a
son – on the meagre pension of her
late husband, a mere Rs 8,000 per
month.
“She is my youngest daughter.
She was very close to her father. His
untimely death left her devastated
but she never gave up. I wish my
husband was alive today. He would
have been distributing sweets in
the village,” Ishwanti told TOI, her
voice shaking with emotion.
the Rohtak district team. Manju
was devastated but fought back
with help of Sube Singh Beniwal, a
boxing coach in Rohtak.
He helped her secure admission
in Lovely Professional University,
Phagwara, and she moved to Pun-
jab, a state she represents now.
“A glimpse of her sparring next
to the pond was enough for me. She
must have been 15 or 16 back then,
but technically she was superior to
all the other kids,” Beniwal recal-
led. “I was shocked when she was
not selected for the Rohtak district
team. I came to know about the po-
litics during the selection trial. I
was in Hisar when I asked her to
move to Punjab. When she showed
interest, I called up Leeladhar (a
boxing coach at LPU) and asked
him to have a look at her.”
Manju got admission after her
first trial. her mother was ready to
mortgage her jewellery to fund her
training and education but the uni-
versity decided to give her 100 per
cent scholarship, including free ac-
commodation, after watching her
box in the ring.
Before Beniwal, Manju was
lucky to run into Sahab Singh who
trained 40 boxers near the pond in
Rithal. “Most of them were girls
from Rithal and Rurki villages.
Manju was one of them. She came
to me in 2012. I am not at all surpri-
sed she is doing so well. There was
always that hunger in her eyes.”

Medvedev rolls into final ASTONISHING KIPCHOGE SMASHES REUTERS

Russian To Take On
Zverev For Title TWO-HOUR MARATHON BARRIER
Prajwal.Hegde @timesgroup.com
Shanghai: Daniil Medvedev is
built like a light pole. A walking,
talking, racket-swinging feature
with a disarming smile. The 6 ft
6’ pro’s play doesn’t come with a
statutory warning, designed to
damage — flattish groundstro-
kes, topped by a monster serve.
But looks can be deceptive and
results are proof. As the 23-year-
old Russian’s record will tell you.
Medvedev charged into his
sixth straight Tour-level final on
a nippy evening with a 7-6 (7-5),
7-5 win over Greek Stefanos Tsit-
sipas in the Rolex Shanghai
Masters. Medvedev, who leads
the men’s game on a number of
fronts this season, most wins
(58), hardcourt wins (45), ATP
Masters 1000 wins (21) and most
finals (nine), also clinched his
11th successive tie-break on Sa-
turday.
In Sunday’s final, the red-hot
third seed will play German po-
werhouse Alexander Zverev,
who beat Italian Matteo Berret-
tini 6-3, 6-4 in another last-four
match. Interestingly, for what
promises to be a rivalry of the
new age, the statistics are a bit
skewed in that, in four previous
meetings, Medvedev has taken
just one set off the German. A re-
cord he’ll hope to set right.
The Tsitsipas serve was ma-
king all the noise in the opening
set of the first semifinal, so
much so that the Russian won
just two of 26 points on the re-
Daniil Medvedev of Russia returns to Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece during the
semifinal of the Shanghai Masters on Saturday
turn on first serves. Medvedev’s
strength is the stealth quality of
his play. In the ninth game, the
23-year-old came back from 0-40
as Tsitsipas, sensing an ope-
ning, went for too much, to allow
his opponent a difficult hold. In
the tie-break Medvedev did eno-
ugh when he needed to.
Medvedev, ranked a career-
high No.4 in the world, broke at
the first opportunity, in the fifth
game of the second set. The Rus-
sian’s two-hander went past an
outstretched Tsitsipas.
The Greek and his team, par-
ticularly his father and coach
Apostolos, were chatting anima-
tedly, between themselves and
with everybody who might’ve
been interested. When Tsitsipas
held in the seventh game he tri-
ed to get the crowd into the con-
test, orchestrating the cheering.
Then when Medvedev served for
the match in the tenth game, he
fell behind love-40 and the Greek
broke on the second opportuni-
ty.
Medvedev returned the favo-
ur in the next game and turned
to the near full house, calling for
their support as the Greek had
done a few games earlier. In the
12th game, on his second chance
to serve for a place in the final,
the third seed made no mistake,
swatting a forehand winner to
shut the door on his opponent.
“When it was love-40 (at 4-all
in the first set), I was, like, I sho-
uldn't have let this happen. But
I needed to get out of this and
managed really well with five
good serves and some great
shots after the serve,” Medve-
dev said, reflecting on his form,
particularly at crucial mo-
ments, a feature of his play in
recent weeks.
Kenyan Helped By Laser Beams, Pacemakers; Run Not Recognised As WR
Vienna: Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge
made athletics history on Saturday
when he became the first person to
run a marathon in under two hours,
stretching the limits of human en-
deavour and passing a milestone
few thought could be reached for
decades if at all. Guided by green la-
ser beams shone onto the road and
helped by 41 world class athletes
choreographed into rotating teams
of pacemakers, the Olympic cham-
pion and world record holder
smashed the barrier by 20 seconds,
finishing in one hour 59.40 minutes.
It was regarded as the biggest
achievement in athletics since Rog-
er Bannister broke the four-minute
mile in 1954 but was not recognised
as a world record by the sport’s gov-
erning body as it was not in open
competition and used rotating pace-
makers.
As the pacemakers peeled away
for the last kilometre, Kipchoge ac-
celerated down the final straight,
smiled and pointed at people in the
crowd who gave him a rousing re-
ception. Barely sweating, the 34-
year-old looked as if he had com-
pleted a quiet morning run as he re-
flected on an achievement which he
compared to landing on the moon.
“From the first kilometre, I was
really comfortable,” he said after
before being mobbed by his team
mates.
“I have been training for this for
four and a half months, I have been
putting my heart and mind to run
under two hours for a marathon and

“I am feeling good. After Roger
Bannister it took another 65 years
to make history,” he added. “Now
I’ve gone under two hours to inspire
other people and show the world no-
body is limited.”
The president of the Interna-
tional Association of Athletics Fed-
erations (IAAF), Sebastian Coe, had
said he was in favour of such events
and argued that it was not a huge is-
sue if they were not recognised by
Reuters
the sport’s governing body.
In Nairobi, traffic stopped with
people gathering in bars and any-
where with television screens as na-
tional hero Kipchoge closed in on
completing the stunning achieve-
ment. The run, organised and fund-
ed by the British chemical company
INEOS and dubbed the INEOS 1.59
challenge, was Kipchoge’s second
attempt to break the barrier, having
missed out by 26 seconds in Monza
two years ago. REUTERS

loss for words for all
the support I have
received from all over the world.
Thank you to all who gave me the
opportunity. Asante.
Eliud Kipchoge | MARATHONER
He has inspired all of us
that we can stretch our
limits in our lives. You have made
history. Everything went perfectly
right. For the sport, it challenges
other young athletes. For human-
ity, whatever level you are in you
can move yourself to another level.
Patrick Sang | KIPCHOGE’S COACH
Eliud is a once in a gener-
ation athlete and if any-
body deserves to break the two-
hour barrier it is him. It was an
incredible performance and a
privilege to be here. It was a great
lesson in a very evenly paced run.
He was very calm and conserva-
tive and the pacemakers took
Eliud to the last kilometre for him.

Muhammad Hassan (8th) and

goal-scorers for Malaysia.
Malaysia started the first quarter
on an aggressive note with Muham-
mad Hassan and Muhammad Zainu-
din finding the back of the net in the
eighth and ninth minutes respective-
ly. Hassan put Malaysia ahead with a
field goal before Zainudin converted
a penalty corner to take a 2-0 lead.
The Indian team tried to make a
few inroads, but the Malaysian defen-
ce stood strong. India and Malaysia
were on equal terms for the rest of
the quarter. India got off to a great
start in the second quarter and ear-
ned a penalty corner but failed to sco-
re from it. A few minutes later, India
pulled one back through a penalty
stroke by Pratap Lakra.
India continued to be the more ag-
gressive side and kept looking for
openings. The team's persistence pa-

men’s shot put after half an hour of heavy

Saturday. But it did not deter the 25-year-old to
send the iron ball to 20.41m in his first attempt,
just 2cm short of his season’s best at the World
Championships in Doha last month.
Yet the best and the record-breaking attempt
came in his third throw after a 20.29m second at-
tempt, and secured 20.92m, improving on his
20.75m he set in the gold-medal winning throw at
the Asian Games gold medal in Jakarta last year.
But his subsequent attempts, aimed at securi-
ng 21.10m Olympic qualifying mark, were in vain
with red flags.
“I was in good rhythm today (Saturday). I was
aiming 21.30-21.40 and it crossed that I think in the
last throw but unfortunately it was a foul. I will
try again to qualify for Olympics at the World Mil-
itary Games in Wuhan, China later this month. It
will be a good competition in Wuhan,” said Toor.
There was joy for hosts Jharkhand as Priyan-
ka Kerketta won a tough women’s long jump bat-
tle with a 6.16m effort. She endured stiff competi-
tion from Railways’ Rintu Mathew, whose final
two jumps were over 6m and gave her the silver
medal ahead of teammate Neena Varakil. Howev-

You must be happy to be F1’s

Yes. It’s working pretty well

qualifying, which is always nice.
The last two races have been a bit
not what I expected, but the per-
formance is there, which is the
most important, and there are no
reasons for us not to be competi-

You must be talking about

you say things have not been

Yeah, obviously there was

Going back to team orders,

I think that’s clear from the

need to obey team orders and
what is clear is that the situa-

about it and we’ll make sure

As all of the drivers are
aware, I think it’s pretty clear
if the typhoon is going to come

the youngster broke into a ra-
re smile. “It is my biggest
world title,” he said.
He recently won a very
strong GM’s tournament in
Denmark. “In terms of ra-
ting, this victory (Mumbai)
was very tough,” he added. He
was the second highest rated
player in the tournament and
when one is in such position,
managing 18 to 20 rating po-
ints is very difficult. He ma-

Praggnanandhaa said he
was happy with the quality of
his play, particularly the way
he squeezed out wins in the
ninth and 10th rounds when
he was faced with time troub-
le.
On Saturday, he kept a dis-
creet eye on Board 2 where his
nearest challenger, Armeni-
a’s Sargsyan Shant, was batt-

opponent and Praggnanand-

nanandhaa was quick to offer
a draw and take the world title
by half a point.
“I was waiting for the 30-
move rule and then offered a
draw,” said the world champ.
The 30-move rule ensures pla- b
yers cannot agree for quick
draws unlike earlier times.
For RB Ramesh, Praggna- err

HYDERABAD
Why Amazon fires are raging
years after deal to end them
Many Of The Fires Burning In Amazon Are Set By Ranchers. A Deal Inked 10 Years
Ago Was Meant To Stop The Problem, But Ecological Arson Goes On As Earth Warms
Clifford Krauss, Mariana Simões
and David Yaffe-Bellany
A
smoky, choking haze drif-
ted over a lush rainforest
reserve in the Brazilian
Amazon last month, as fires lit
by cattlemen illegally ranching
on protected land spread thro-
ugh the jungle.
From an elevated vantage
point, a dozen blazes could be
spotted across an 845,000-acre
nature preserve.
As damaging as these fires
would be to the Serra Do Ca-
chimbo Biological Reserve,
they represented just a tiny
fraction of the total number
burning vast swaths of the
Amazon, with 26,000 recorded
in August, the highest number
in a decade.
The immense scale of the fi-
res in Brazil this summer rai-
sed a global alarm about the
risks they posed to the world’s
largest rainforest, which soaks
up carbon dioxide and helps
keep global temperatures from
rising.
It wasn’t supposed to be like
this. Ten years ago, an agree-
ment was reached that was in-
tended to help end these devas-
tating acts of ecological arson.
In 2009, the three biggest
Brazilian meatpacking compa-
nies signed an agreement with
the environmental group Gre-
enpeace not to buy cattle from
ranchers who raised their beef
in newly deforested areas.
The deal was meant to be a
model for the world, a partners-
hip between private industry
and environmental activists
that would benefit both.
For Greenpeace, the agree-
ment offered a solution to one
of the biggest causes of rainfo-
rest destruction: The cattle in-
dustry is responsible for up to
80 percent of the clearings in
recent years, according to the
Yale School of Forestry and En-
vironmental Studies.
For the meatpackers, the
agreement relieved pressure
from a growing international
environmental campaign aga-
inst them and threats of boy-
cotts against retailers selling
their beef.
But the vows made by those
three companies — JBS, Mi-
nerva and Marfrig, which
handle about 50% of the beef
raised in the Amazon — have
been only partially kept, accor-
ding to prosecutors, environ-
mentalists and academics who
study the cattle
industry.
The failure to fulfill crucial
elements of the ambitious pro-
mise — which were always go-
ing to be a challenge to achieve
— is one of the main reasons
the Amazon is on fire.
Cattle ranching has been
responsible for 18,000 square
miles of additional deforesta-
tion — equivalent to New
Hampshire and Vermont com-
bined — since the 2009 agree-
ment between Greenpeace and
the meatpackers, according to
University of Wisconsin rese-
Clay pots that quenched Myanmar’s thirst are vanishing

and produce pulled
into Yangon, coated in the
umber dust of the countrysi-
de, the people on board, if not
the oxen, used to be able to co-
unt on refreshment.
On many a street corner,
often under a shade tree, sto-
od what looked like a dollhou-
se on stilts. Inside was a ro-
tund clay pot covered by a tri-
angle of woven leaves. The
pot held drinking water.
Cool without refrigera-
tion, sweet with the taste of
earth, nothing slaked the in-
sistent thirst of the tropics bet-
ter, according to some resi-
dents of Yangon, Myanmar’s
largest city. “I only drink wa-
ter from a clay pot,” said Ma
Aye Aye Thein, as she sat on a
plastic stool and occasionally
fanned herself. “I feel hot
when I drink from plastic.”
The gifted water was also
a welcome reminder of the
hospitality of strangers in a
period when trust was in
short supply. During the he-
ight of the military dictators-
hip that ruled Myanmar for
nearly 50 years, people said
In 2009, the three biggest Brazilian meatpacking companies signed an agreement with Greenpeace not to buy cattle from ranchers who raised
their beef in newly deforested areas. But the vows have been only partially kept, according to prosecutors, environmentalists and academics
archers.
Convinced that the meat-
packers were not living up to
their commitments, Greenpea-
ce pulled out of the agreement
in 2017. “We saw that they failed
to comply with what they had
promised,” said Adriana Cha-
roux, the lead Greenpeace
Amazon activist. “They could
have done much more. The
slaughterhouses are making a
minimal effort.”
From jaguars in jungles to
cows in pastures
During a September visit, the
fires were abundant in the Ser-
ra Do Cachimbo Biological Re-
serve, set aside by the Brazilian
government 15 years ago as a
pristine wilderness area off-li-
mits to all commercial activity.
But driving over the creaky
river bridges built by the ran-
chers in this reserve, it was ea-
sy to find illegal cattle opera-
tions here, as it is throughout
Brazil’s Amazon. Where giant
otters and jaguars once roa-
med, there were fields where
cattle grazed.
Fazenda Canaã, a 2,700-acre
farm carved out of the reser-
ve’s rainforest around 2013, ma-
de no effort to hide. The jungle
that had stood on this land was
replaced by open savanna —
grazing land for its 400 cattle.
For a ranch hand working
there, the exchange of rainfo-
rest for productive farmland
seemed like a fair deal.
“The right thing to do is let
people work,” said Isaías Her-
mogem, as he watched over
cattle grazing in a clearing ed-
ged with papaya and coconut
trees. “Let’s open up more spa-
ce.” Many ranchers have taken
the walls had eyes and ears.
In those times, it didn’t take
much for Special Branch, the
secret police, to turn a neigh-
bor into an informer.
But even as the city disin-
tegrated under the junta,
with chunks of mortar fal-
ling off once grand buildings
and cracking the skulls of
passers-by, the water pots we-
re still set out for the thirsty.
It was part of a tradition
of meritorious acts embed-
ded in Myanmar’s Buddhist-
majority culture, with the ne-
ighborhood water pots refil-
led by retirees, housewives or
anyone looking for some kar-
mic credit for a good deed.
“Putting water out is a
Buddhist ideal to be kind to
others,” said U Candana Sa-
ra, a Buddhist abbot.
Now, many of these terra-
cotta water pots are gone, re-
placed in some cases by plastic
bottles with tin cups chained
to them. Some of the little re-
freshment houses are full of
litter or abandoned altogether.
The declining presence of
the shared pots over the last
few years is just one small
change amid great upheaval
in Yangon. The military ge-
nerals, who now share some

that advice.
Fazenda Canaã is just one
of at least 71ranches in the Ser-
ra do Cachimbo, and both the
number of ranches and the si-
ze of each appears to be gro-
wing. In August, just as the
rampant fires in the Amazon
gripped the attention of a war-
ming world, Fazenda Canaã ex-
tended its turf with additional
burning.
About 200 million heads of
cattle are raised in the Brazili-
an Amazon region in total,
with an estimated 173,746 squa-
re miles of forest — the size of
California, plus Massachu-
setts and New Jersey — conver-
ted to cattle pasture over recent
decades, according to the Yale
School of
Forestry.
Livestock farming genera-
tes more than $6 billion in annu-
al export revenues and about
360,000 jobs. Much of the expor-
ted beef goes to meet a growing
demand in China.
Despite the promise of the
major meatpackers not to buy
cattle from ranches like Fazen-
da Canaã, cattle that spent time
on this farm were purchased
by JBS over the last three ye-
ars, according to government
data.
In fact, JBS, the biggest me-
atpacker worldwide, bought
cattle that passed through 11
ranches in the preserve over
the last two years, according to
the government data.
Marfrig and Minerva each
made indirect purchases from
one ranch here, according to
government data that traces a
complex supply chain.
An audit in 2016 by federal
prosecutors in Pará State, whe-
of their power with a civilian
government, have decamped
to a new capital, Naypyidaw, a
city a few hundred miles to
the north, purpose-built to
showcase their authority.
Yangon’s crumbling ar-
chitecture is being demolis-
hed, with British colonial re-
lics making way for glass-
sheathed buildings. A city on-
ce trapped in a slower, poorer
era because of governmental
neglect is being remade.
Clay jugs, heavy yet fragile,
are not made for mobile lifes-
tyles in which people expect to
take their water with them rat-
her than depend on the uncer-
tain kindness of strangers.
You can’t screw a top on a ter-
ra-cotta pot. So plastic is now a
growing scourge in Yangon.
Disposable water bottles float
in the Irrawaddy and Yangon
rivers. They crunch under the
wheels of bullock carts, start-
ling the oxen.
The potters who have fas-
hioned the water vessels for
generations have had to
adapt to this faster, more dis-
posable world. U Nyunt Khin,
70, lives in Twante Township,
on the outskirts of Yangon,

waddy Delta disgorges a rich

third of the cattle slaughtered
in the Amazon come from, sho-
wed that 6 percent of the cattle
JBS had bought between Octo-
ber 2009 and 2016, totaling
36,739 heads of cattle, came
from ranches that had been il-
legally cleared.
In 2016, 118,459 cattle, or 19
percent of the total bought by
JBS in Pará, were acquired
“with evidence of irregulariti-
es,” according to the audit by
the Brazilian Federal Prosecu-
tion Service using satellite in-
formation, on-the-ground in-
spections and traced purcha-
sing data.
“There is no reason why af-
ter 10 years there could not be
better results,” said Nathalie
Walker, a director at the Natio-
nal Wildlife Federation, who
has studied the Brazilian cattle
industry. “There were firm ne-
gotiated agreements.”
‘Cattle laundering’
subverts the supply chain
Brazil has many thousands of
cattle farms in the Amazon,
spread out across one of the
world’s most remote areas,
which hinders efforts at law en-
forcement, inspections and,
especially, tracking cattle over
their life spans.
It’s rare for a cow to spend
its entire life on the farm where
it was born; it may be bought
and sold multiple times, until it
reaches the ranch that sells it
directly to a slaughterhouse.
This complex supply chain
has made the phenomenon of
“cattle laundering” common
and is the crux of the problem in
fulfilling the deal’s promise.
The declining presence of shared terra-cotta water pots — replaced in some cases by plastic bottles with
tin cups chained to them — is just one small change amid great upheaval in Yangon

been making water pots for 40
years. Business started sou-

Back then, he and his wife

he is lucky if he can sell 10.
“My business is disappea-

A calf may be born on ille-

ultimately sold to a fattening
ranch whose land was cleared
long ago and is within the
terms of the accord.
When the slaughterhouses
buy from these ranches, they
can say they have acquired a
cow from a compliant source.
JBS asserts that 100 percent
of its cattle purchases from its
direct suppliers “were in comp-
liance with our responsible so-
urcing policies,” according to a
statement from a company spo-
kesman.
The company said it uses
satellite technology, geo-refe-
renced farm data and official
government records to moni-
tor more than 280,000 square
miles, an area larger than Tex-
as, and that it assesses more
than 50,000 potential cattle
suppliers every day.
“JBS has an unwavering
commitment to combat, disco-
urage and eliminate deforesta-
tion in the Amazon region,” sa-
id the company statement.
Despite those efforts, an au-
dit commissioned by JBS ack-
nowledged that the company
does not fully monitor indirect
suppliers because of a lack of
accessible public data tracking
the transport of animals.
“JBS can track 100% of its
direct suppliers,” according to
its third-party auditor, DNV
GL, a Norwegian quality-assu-
rance and certification compa-
ny. But JBS “has not yet been
successful in implementing tra-
ceability processes” for indi-
rect suppliers.

than taste. “In some places, pe-
ople don’t even put out water at
all,” he said, shaking his head
at the parsimony. “We’ve lost
our morals. It’s like we’re re-
turning to the Stone Age.”

‘A caricature of the
patriarchy’: Argentine
feminists remake tango
Ernesto Londoño
Buenos Aires: Liliana Fu-
rió’s ruby red flat shoes glided
across the dance floor in
swift, assured moves, making
her baggy pants sway gently.
She and a lean young Rus-
sian man were rapture perso-
nified, clasped in a tight em-
brace as they circled counter-
clockwise with a few other pa-
irs in perfect synchrony.
But it was hard to tell who
was leading whom. Some pa-
irs appeared lost in a loving
embrace while others swung
back and forth playfully.
And that is precisely what
Furió had in mind when she
created a weekly dance fest
that would break all the rules
of tango, Argentina’s prime
cultural export.
Furió started renting ve-
nues for the event earlier this
year, calling it La Furiosa —
or the livid woman. It’s part of
a push by Argentine femi-
nists to make tango less patri-
archal.
In traditional tango, men
invite women to dance thro-
ugh a subtle head-jolt gesture
known as a cabeceo, often sig-
naled from across the room.
On the dance floor, the man
asserts control in a sequence
of moves, often fast-paced,
jolting and limb-entangling,
that range from teasingly sen-
sual to uncomfortably domi-
neering.
Whether they’re loving or
enduring it, the women, who
are expected to wear cocktail
dresses and high heels, must
hold tight for four-song sets.
Veteran tango dancers say
the 15-minute stretches can
turn into agony when a male
partner’s embrace feels suffo-
cating — or when his hand
wanders well beneath the wa-
istline.
“It’s a bit of a game to test
where the limits are,” said Vic-
toria Beytia, an avid tango
dancer who, along with Furió,
is part of a loose coalition of
activists known as the Tango
Feminist Movement.
In July the group publis-
hed a protocol to make tango
halls less dogmatic about tra-
ditional gender roles and mo-
re assertive about rooting out
sexual harassment and as-
sault.
The protocol provides
suggested guidelines for
tango venue organisers, in-
cluding acceptance of cou-
ples who depart from hetero-
normative roles. It also offers
guidance on how to handle in-
stances of harassment and
abuse, advising, for instance,
that men accused of acting in-
appropriately on the dance
floor be asked to leave.
“Tango is a reflection of
what is happening in our
culture, and for a long time
our culture has allowed
men to touch you when they
want to and if you complain
you are dismissed as crazy,”
Beytia said.
Furió, a 56-year-old docu-
mentary filmmaker, became
acquainted with tango as a
child. Her father, a strict mili-

tary intelligence officer who
years later would be convic-
ted of grave crimes commit-
ted during Argentina’s dicta-
torship, made watching “The
Grand Values of Tango,” a
weekly television show, an
obligatory family ritual.
The show paid homage to
the sensual, theatrical dance
that arose in poor immigrant
enclaves and attained mainst-
ream appeal among Argenti-
nes.
“I had a fascination with
the dance,” Furió said on a re-
cent morning, sitting in the
sun-drenched living room of
the apartment she shares
with her German wife. “That
unique embrace, those sensu-
al choreographies, it’s somet-
hing that I remember vivid-
ly.” As an adult, she began at-
tending the storied tango
halls in Buenos Aires known
as milongas. But her passion
for the dance was deflated by
the rituals and codes of con-
duct that struck her as sexist
and demeaning.
Argentine tango is the
product of a confluence of
rhythms and traditions that
intersected in the 1700s and
1800s, in poor districts of Bue-
nos Aires that were home to
European immigrants, for-
mer African slaves and locals.
The lyrics of many tango
classics are as dramatic as the
genre, telling stories of pas-
sionate love, desperate long-
ing and betrayal. But several
are explicit odes to the subju-
gation of women, and physi-
cal violence against them,
and are jarring to listen to to-
day.
Soraya Rizzardini Gonzá-
lez, a tango instructor who is
part of the Tango Feminist
Movement and helped draft
the protocol, said that while
songs that seem to explicitly
condone violence may be a
that there is no trust in com-
munities, and less kindness,”
said U Sue Hnget, a promi-
nent Burmese writer.
In Twante, dusk quickly
turned to night, as it does in
the tropics. Mosquitoes be-
gan to bite. Mr. Nyunt Khin lit
a kerosene lamp, illumina-
ting the pottery dust suspen-
ded in the air. Electricity is
too expensive, he said. The
heat of the day still pulsed.
None of his five children
wants to take over his pottery
business although, for now, he
has convinced two to work the
kiln. The three others, all
daughters, work in a cement
factory. If he is truthful, Nyunt
Khin said, his daughters are
the ones who keep the family
afloat, especially after Cyclone
Nargis, which killed more
than 135,000 people in 2008, in-
undated the village and forced
him to rebuild his kiln.
Down a dirt path from Ny-
unt Khin’s thatched wareho-
use, U Kyaw Soe runs a fo-
urth-generation pottery bu-
siness. He knows he has to
change with the times so he

minority, tango has always re-
flected pervasive structural
sexism in Argentina.
The earliest film recordings
of tango, she said, depict wo-
men being treated as “rag
dolls” across the dance floor.
“The gender roles are fix-
ed,” González said. “One per-
son is leading and the other is
not.” “Tango is a caricature of
the patriarchy,” she added.
In the 1990s, gay Argenti-
nes began organising dance
collectives that upended the
staid rules. In what began as a
small, underground scene
that would blossom, tango afi-
cionados created spaces in
which women could take the
lead and same-sex couples co-
uld alternate between the lea-
ding and passive roles.
An advertisement for que-
er tango lessons made Furió
do a double-take in 2003. Ha-
ving recently come out of the
closet, she found the idea
enthralling. “It meant being
able to take ownership of a pi-
ece of heritage that is so dee-
ply ours, but that had been ac-
cessible only to a segment of
the population,” she said.
“There was something very
subversive about that.”
Furió said learning to le-
ad in tango took more than
conventional classes; it requi-
red a psychological breakth-
rough as she came to terms
with years of feeling belitt-
led, underestimated and ge-
nerally jerked around in her
life.
But there was a magical
turning point, she said, when
she learned she could embra-
ce the assertive role on the
dance floor. “As a woman, you
realise that you can lead and
that you can do it well,” she
said. “Over the years, I have
helped many women that
struggled with the same
thing.” NYT NEWS SERVICE
her backup plan for his fami-
ly’s future, one that has not-

older son is learning Japane-

geography at college.
The village is littered with
abandoned kilns. Twante re-
mains a place where many
men in sarongs and bamboo
pith helmets smoke cheroots
and women balance baskets of
vegetables on their heads. But
the younger generation favors
shorts and soccer jerseys. At
night, bathed in the glow of a
television soap opera, the wo-
men of Twante worked, pou-
ring boiled water not into eart-
hen vessels but into scavenged
plastic bottles.
The refilled bottles went
into a cooler powered by a ge-
nerator thrumming a bass no-
te. Modernity, bright and loud,
drowned the night noises: the
hiccup of geckos, the compla-
int of insects and the rustle of
palms heavy with coconuts.
When younger customers co-

pots, he said he has to serve
them plastic bottles of refrige-
rated water. “They are not
used to the taste from clay
pots,” he said. “They think it

murder stalls
Bru tribal
repatriation
TNN & AGENCIES
Agartala: The alleged mur-
der of a Bru tribal woman by
her husband in Mizoram’s
Mamit district has stalled the
ninth and final phase of repa-
triation of Bru refugees from
relief camps in Tripura that
have been their home for
more than two decades.
The last phase of repatria-
tion had started on October 3
and was to be completed by
November 30, ending a leng-
thy and complicated process
involving the two states. On
Wednesday, officials from
Mizoram failed to enter four
of the six refugee camps in
North Tripura district be-
cause of outrage over the
murder of 33-year-old Linda
Reang at Mizoram’s Thing-
hlun village last Saturday.
The victim had allegedly
faced racial taunts from her
Mizo husband Vanlalbela be-
fore being burnt alive.
The alleged murder and
the backlash faced by Mizo-
ram officials in the relief
camps reflect the tenuous re-
lationship between the Brus,
who are also called Reangs,
and the ethnic Mizos. Violent
clashes between the two com-
munities in the late 90s had
triggered the exodus of Brus
to neighbouring Tripura.
N Darlong, the sub-divi-
sional magistrate of Panisa-
gar in North Tripura, said
unrest in two camps had
eased, but Bru refugees in the
other four camps were refus-
ing to let officials complete
the repatriation. Women in
the Ashapara camp on
Wednesday showed black
flags to officials who had gone
there in 20 buses to take them
back to Mizoram.

CHHETRI TURNS VEGAN TO
BECOME A BETTER PLAYER
Kolkata: India football captain Sunil
Chhetri has joined his cricket coun-
terpart Virat Kohli in turning a ve-
gan, saying giving up meat and dairy
products has helped him staying fit-
ter. “I have become vegan -- I don't ta-
ke dairy or meat. It has helped me a
lot in terms of recovery and diges-
tion,” the Indian who has scored a re-
cord 72 international goals told AIFF
in an interview.
Last year, Kohli had adopted a
plant-based diet and Chhetri said his
awareness came during a stint with
Sporting Lisbon in 2013. “When I was
in Kansas in the US, there was a
slight change (in diet) but as I said as I
was young, I didn't go deep into it. I
followed it but not religiously. Then
when I went to Sporting Lisbon, I saw
that it's common in Europe about
what they eat. It was there that I beca-
me stricter,” he recalled.
Chhetri further said he gave up
sweets for about two and half years
and acknowledged the support of his
wife Sonam, who is a non-vegetari-
an. “I have indulged (in sweets) only
on two momentous occasions -- the
first time I gave in was after Bengalu-
ru FC won the Indian Super League
and the next time I had a bite was af-
ter we drew our away match with Qa-
tar,” he said. “You need to understand
what works best for your own body. In
fact, there have been occasions when
people put slices of cake in my mo-
uth. But I never gulped (smiles),” he
said.
On how he maintains balance at
home, Chhetri said, “She (Sonam) is
not a vegan, and every now and then,
she enjoys her prawns, and fish curri-
es too. I am so much in peace that I did
get married to her. The support
from home has stayed the be-
drock.”
The 35-year-old Indian
said he is more aware of
what goes inside. “When I
was 25 and I was told to eat
six pieces of potato every
day, someday it would be 8,
someday it would be 10. Not that
it's going to make a big diffe-
rence. But now when I am
told by my nutritionist that
you get to eat six pieces a day,

Rome: Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma overcame
his up-and-down ride in the closing stages and birdied
two of his final three holes to card two-under 69 on the

seven-under and tied-third at the Olgiata Golf Club.
Sharma had six birdies with two dropped shots and a

Ujada Chaman vs Bala

Same theme, same release date
While earlier the films were to release a week apart, on Thursday, Bala’s date was moved to
a day before Ujada Chaman’s; now the latter’s makers are claiming copyright infringement

unveiled the trailer of his
directorial debut, Ujda Chaman,
the story of a man (played by Sunny
Singh) grappling with premature
balding. The makers pitched it as “the
first film with a bald protagonist” as it
was scheduled to open on November 8,
a week before the release of another
film, Bala, featuring Ayushmann
Khurrana as another bald protagonist.
On Thursday, things took a surprising
turn when producer Dinesh Vijan
announced that Bala would arrive in
later, with his leading man, he unveiled
the poster and trailer, and the striking
similarities between the two films have
left the Ujda Chaman makers fuming.
Abhishek points out that his direc-
torial is the official remake of the 2017
Kannada film Ondu Motteya Kathe. “I
believe good stories need to be seen
by maximum number of people. My
company always looks out for such
gems... Alone and Drishyam are official
remakes by us. We acquired Ondu

the Bala team has been changing their
release date, from November 22 to
November 15 to November 7, which is a
day before my film. Not sure how this
will help, I think it harms both films and
the industry at large,” he says, grousi-
ng that Ayushmann is a saleable name
today and their film wouldn’t have been
affected by Ujda Chaman. “At least let
it be healthy competition. In this case
even their poster design is similar.”

STAR BIRTHDAY
LIBRA: MESUT ÖZIL
(OCTOBER 15, 1988)
Aries
Mars helps you settle
disputes with raw
force, litigations too
go in your favour. The
facts are apparent,
and the answers are
written in plain form.
Because of this, a dis-
Ronaldinho
agreement can now
be settled without protest or drama.
The excitement builds. You are open,
and you are curious. People will
connect with you and love you for what
you can bring to them. But the best part
is that they will love you for who you
are.What is obvious to you is unclear
to others. Take your time in explaining
what you know. Your audience is
receptive. Spotting a possible blunder
about to happen and having others
appreciate your attentiveness will add
to your feeling of self confidence.
Tuesday/Wednesday are professional-
ly quite rewarding days. You shall have
romance with beautiful souls.
Taurus
Avoid important meet-
ings and action till
Wednesday, thereafter,
the week looks
fruitful. What seems
uncontrollable is
actually well within
your influence. Get
Maria working, and your
Sharapova doubts will melt away.
It is time to put an end
to any behaviour that has compromised
your health over the past few years. By
acting now, you can reverse the effects
of any unhealthy practices. Keep a low
profile and do what you are asked.
Resist the urge to break the rules, even
if everybody else does. By demonstrat-
ing that you can work within the
system, you’ll stay out of hot water. It’s
hard to feel good about yourself when
you’re not being productive, but you
have to remember you are much more
efficient than the average person. Pro-
ceeding in a quiet and unobtrusive way
will help you achieve the best results.
Gemini
Gemini has the rare
ability to self reflect
and know its own
weaknesses and
modify it into a
strength. Your talent
for self-reflection will
be highlighted, as will
Novak your ability to assess
Djokovic your relationships
clearly. Domestic mat-
ters shall keep you busy, your mother’s
health requires close attention. You are
not in a make-or-break situation, so you
can relax. It may feel as though this is
your big chance, but this is just one of
many big chances. You’ll perform
better if you keep it in a balanced
perspective.Time is like a river, con-
stantly flowing, never stopping or slow-
ing. Only the currents beneath the sur-
face change. Don’t get dragged down by
negative thinking or a lack of energy.
Set yourself a target. Work towards it.
Cancer
A time for achieve-
ments, and also
aggressively pursuing
your goals, don’t let
negative events
scatter your attention,
these will go away
gradually. But don’t let
good opportunities
PV Sindhu slip away in the mean-
time. If you do say
something that doesn’t land quite right,
it’s only because you’ve been
misinformed or have made an incor-
rect assumption. All will be easily reme-
died.Use your imagination to find new
ways to make money; conventional
paths aren’t very lucrative. Starting a
home-based business will allow you to
spend more time with your loved ones
while raking in the cash. If you’re in
the dark about how to start such a ven-
ture, approach somebody who has.

so obsessed with your views,their views,

you’d like to break

Make good use of the rapport

a challenge to stay open to the pos-

the ideas that don’t come from you

of how the world is or should be.
But one such idea will be your key
to accomplishing something mean-
ingful in the next six weeks and
entering a new stage of life.

give up and not strive for what you’re

“keeping it real.” So before you
decide to speak up, consider whether
it’s really in everyone’s best interest
to do so. Be tolerant of people you
can’t understand. Being aggressive
may be the only way to get your
interests met.

very best.You’re empathic and helpful,
but you’re no pushover. Some people
seem only to be able to understand this
by pushing you beyond your limits and
triggering your firm response. There is
probably no need to make any changes
once you get your thoughts out and your
uncertainties are addressed.

you’ve been ignoring very important
aspects of your personal potential. It’s
time to get serious about your career
and personal direction, and accept that
you have creative skills that are going

the most qualified and will start to at-

doesn’t work when you’re trying to get
through to someone, a more forthright
approach might do it. Release anger that
has become toxic. Someone who has
been ordering you around needs to be
confronted. It doesn’t matter if you’re
their employee, friend, or assistant. You
deserve to be treated with dignity, re-

other waste from a beach during his morning walk on Saturday. The
PM took to Twitter to release a three-minute video in which he was

Step one: Move the attacker’s grip by holding his right

direction with your body.
Step two: Run your left elbow, with a sharp movement,
across onto his left arm, weakening the grip. Since you’ll be

it will be easier to free yourself.

Why everyone hates Comic Sans

The word mukbang is
a mash-up of the
Korean words for
“eating” and “broad-

English to “eatcast”

incent Connare, the

V creator of Comic
Sans, has something
to say about his Franken-
stein-like font: “If you love
Comic Sans you, don’t know
much about typography. And
if you hate Comic Sans, you
need a new hobby.”

calls “the Justin Bieber of

a big hit with social media audience

Sans was on full display this
week, when an American
attorney responded to an
impeachment probe by the
US Congress with a letter
printed in that widely
derided type. The font quick-
ly trended on Twitter. At least
one user recommended the
lawyer be disbarred. But Connare said he believed
that the attorney knew what he was doing by using
a divisive font. Where legal documents are often
written in Courier, Comic Sans scoffs at what’s
politically correct.
“It’s like, ‘Not only am I going to refuse to submit
these documents, but I’m going to use a typeface that
doesn’t submit to the solemnity of the law, and
Congress and public institutions,” said Michael
Bierut, a partner at the design firm Pentagram. “Or
maybe he just likes Comic Sans. It’s hard to say. Few
typefaces are this freighted with public opinion.”
But strongly held beliefs can be unifying. Holly
Combs, 43, fell in love with her husband, David
Combs, 20 years ago over their shared contempt for
Comic Sans. “He told me it was his goal to learn every
typeface, and I was like, ‘That’s so sexy,’” Combs said.
When a local art gallery gave her a work assignment
in Comic Sans, the pair bonded over their mutual
distaste for what they deemed the “least thoughtful”
font. “He was like, ‘What if we ban Comic Sans?’ and

Norton, wasn’t a fan of it and axed it from the
ill-fated program, called Microsoft Bob. But the font
lived on in a Windows 95 Plus! pack. Paige Shelton,
author of the mystery “Comic Sans Murder,” set in
a fictional typewriter repair shop, said that when
the font was released “all Helvetica broke loose.”
To type traditionalists, use of the font can
signify frivolity or even disrespect. Bierut said that
Comic Sans has long been “the default punchline in
the design community.” Because it’s meant to
simulate the handwriting process, it can come off
as inauthentic, he explained, like a packaged
cookie when you expected homemade. It is “willfully
idiosyncratic,” with its crooked lines and unevenly
distributed weight. “It reads like a Mickey Mouse
cartoonish voice,” Bierut said. “It has this weird
sense of dislocation.”
But the Comic Sans hatred was never universal.

of the mystery Comic Sans Murder, calls
“a fun-times font,” manspreading across

contrast, is “a call from HR”). The spacing,
or kerning, between its letters is uneven

Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, used

In May, Combs decided that the “Ban Comic Sans”
project had “gotten out of hand” and changed his
Facebook group’s name to “Use Comic Sans.” “It’s
gotten to be so bad that it’s almost cool again,” he
said. His wife disagrees.
Connare said he’s used the font he created once
in the last two decades, to write a letter of complaint
about his broadband. The company gave him a
refund of 10 pounds. “It certainly gets you attention,”
he said.

Couples prefer wedding favours that help those in need

Weddings with a purpose are on the rise as bridal couples do

a Harry and Meghan — which means that instead of gifting

them expensive gifts, you can donate to a cause of their choice

I
nstead of sending their 100 guests off with tea
towels embossed with their smiling faces, or a
flower pot with their inscribed wedding date,
Brittni Switser and Raymond Ulger wanted to give
something that might not end up in the bottom of a
trash bin. So they made a donation to a nonprofit
organisation (NGO) that works to end child mar-
riages, on behalf of everyone who attended their
August 30 wedding. “Marriage for us is waking up
every day and making an active choice to love each
other,” said Switser, 26, a quality control manager
at a health care company in New York. She and
Ulger, who is also 26 and works as an auditor for the
same health care company, have been together for
seven years. “Girls should be able to grow up into
their own selves and know who they are before
making that giant leap to love someone else,” Switzer
said. “I loved that this NGO is doing that very
important work.”
For their Oct 12 wedding, Amanda Whitehead
and Matt Griswold are donating $400 to the
American Cancer Society in honour of Griswold’s
grandmother, Carol Winsor, who died of lung
cancer two years ago. The couple has also linked
their registry on a wedding planner website to the
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Scholarship Trust Fund.
“It seemed like such a simple thing to do to help kids
in need,” said Whitehead, 28, a high school special
education teacher from New Jersey.
Bridezillas are certainly still around, but a kinder,
gentler bride has also emerged. Rather than rack-
ing up expensive gift registries, they have gone all
Harry and Meghan and requested charitable dona-
tions in their name or made their own donations.
◆ CALL THEM BRIDEGIVVAS?
“Modern couples are beginning to question the
consumer-focused version of weddings, seeking
to create celebrations with greater meaning,” said
Karen Hopkins, a former wedding planner who
started Bride Disrupted last year, which helps
couples create meaningful weddings.
A 2018 survey of 1,992 adults found that 43 per
cent would rather donate to charity than give a
gift from a wedding registry. And according to the
wedding planner website, between Jan 1 and Sept
16, 27 per cent of couples adopted a charity through
their Gifts Back segment, compared with 15 per cent
the same period in 2018.
Hopkins encourages couples to determine a
purpose for their wedding celebration. “If your
wedding’s purpose is about building community,
you could get together with your friends to complete
a service project like building a community garden
or creating a mural at your local community
center,” she said. “You could host a pot luck-style
picnic for the reception and invite underprivileged
or elderly community members to attend. If your
wedding’s purpose is about honouring nature and
the earth’s gifts, you could include a beach cleanup
in your wedding activities.”
In the Gifts Back program, couples can attach a
charity of their choice to their gift registries. For
every gift purchased off that couple’s registry, the
wedding planner website donates, at no extra cost
to the couple or guests, up to 3 per cent of the price
of every gift to a
charity specified by
the couple. The top five
have included the Humane
Society of the United States,

T on red carpets across the globe. While it’s common to

see fashionistas stick to one shade while picking an en-
semble for an event, of late, some of them have been
opting for pink and red colour-blocked outfits.
The once colour-clashing hues have become all the rage now
and stylists, too, seem to be up for the challenge to put them
together to create an eye-popping look.
So, whether you want to go all out and sport it from head to
toe or simply want to pair an accessory or two in these hues,
here’s how to do it stylishly.
WHEN YOU WANT TO LOOK FEMININE & POWERFUL
Owing to the fact that the two colours clash,
they were not high on the popularity charts.
However, that is no longer the case as
stylists and celebs seem to be smitten by
this striking combination.
Stylist Isha Bhansali shares,
“The dual tone of red and pink

8 HYDERABAD TIMES, THE TIMES OF INDIA
‘There have been huge changes in the
filming of international movies in India’
...CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Currently, five major foreign projects are being
shot in different parts of the country. Line
producers and India producers of foreign
projects tell us what has changed in the
permissions process and what more can be done
to attract foreign filmmakers to India.
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S TENET GOT
SHOOTING PERMISSIONS IN A WEEK
A foreign filmmaker, on an average, has to get
over 31 licences to shoot a film in India.
However, in the last four years, the I&B min-
istry, through FFO, has worked to reduce the
time taken to procure permits for foreign crews.
Pravesh Sahni, India producer of films like
Slumdog Millionaire, Lion, and Hotel Mumbai,
says, “The FFO has smoothened the process for
international projects and it has helped more
international filmmakers shoot in India. After
getting permits to shoot in India, we have to
apply to local agencies for shooting at that
particular location. The facilitators and
infrastructure scenario is improving in India.
These days, the permits are being issued faster.
In the last couple of years, they’ve brought
tremendous change in the filming for
international films in India.”
Last month when Christopher Nolan came
to shoot his upcoming film Tenet in Mumbai,
he got the permission within a week. Dileep
Singh Rathore, the India producer of Tenet,
says, “I recently completed a seven-day
schedule of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet in India,
and it was only possible because we got the
permissions in time. As someone who has faced
a lot of trouble in getting permissions in the
past, now, it feels like a red carpet has been rolled
out for foreign projects in India. I have four
other international projects in the pipeline to
shoot in India, but I can’t disclose their names.”
As foreign filmmakers often want to capture
aerial scenes, a separate department has been
introduced to cater to these requests. The
Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)
provides permission for aerial shootings in the
country. Dileep Singh Rathore adds, “A few years
back, to get permission to shoot a helicopter
scene for Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (which
had some scenes shot in Jodhpur), I had applied
five months in advance. But I never got
it. For Tenet, we got the permission to use a
helicopter very quickly.”
NO VISA ISSUES FOR FOREIGN
CREWS NOW
In 2017, the I&B ministry consulted the MHA
and the MEA, and introduced a special visa
category for foreign filmmakers.
Alan McAlex, the India producer of two
international projects, one being shot in UP and
Gurinder Chadha’s

another film scheduled for shoot in Ahmedabad
next month, says, “Quick visa clearances for
foreign crews is one of the reasons why more
foreign filmmakers are coming to shoot in
India. For shooting in India, foreign
filmmakers have to get clearance from the
I&B Ministry. The ministry officials coordinate
with the Indian embassies abroad, and help in
getting visa clearances faster.”
For foreign filmmakers, getting the
permission to shoot in India used to take five-
six months, which has now reduced to three-
four weeks.
TEMPORARY IMPORT OF FILMING
EQUIPMENT AT CUSTOMS USED TO
BE A HUGE PAIN
For foreign filmmakers, the biggest hurdle to
shooting in India is customs clearance because
they have to import film shooting equipment
temporarily. Dileep Singh Rathore says, “For
Tenet, we had to bring IMAX cameras and
other equipment as filmmaking process abroad
is more advanced. When foreign filmmakers
bring equipment to India they have to spend
a lot of time in getting customs clearance.
While this time the process was very smooth,

In 2012, the Ministry of Railways did not give permission to shoot an action sequence
on top of a moving train for the James Bond movie, Skyfall, because they felt that India
would be shown in a poor light. The 2018 release, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, the 2016
sixth in the series, which opens with a scene in Kashmir and ends with it too, didn’t get
the required permissions to shoot in the valley. So director Christopher McQuarrie
created Kashmir in New Zealand. He was quoted as saying, “It was a pretty crazy
sequence. People were very nervous about us coming there and doing that. So while we
were shooting in New Zealand, we still had this (feel)... We liked the flavour of India, so
(somehow) we managed to put it in (the film).” Line producers tell us that for every film

“When you come from a small town to a city like

not to plan things. I didn’t plan my career, and that made

been widely reported in the press.
The film is very close to our hearts
as a project because we want to
meaningfully contribute to the
conversation on challenging social
themes of our times, like the
widespread stigmatisation of
baldness and dark skin. If there are
multiple films which deal with one
of these themes, it’s all the more

It was earlier reported that
National Award-winning filmmaker
Praveen Morchhale has filed a case
against Bala’s producer and writer
Niren Bhatt in the Bombay High
Court under the Copyright Act, 1957,
alleging that the story of Bala is
similar to the screenplay he has
written and narrated to several
people within the industry. No
injunction has been passed and
the matter is sub-judice.

crucial scenes in the neighbouring
country. Rajkummar Rao, who plays
businessman Raghu Mehta in the film,
borrowed inspiration from his real-life

the Mikhil Musale-directorial. According to
the narrative, the language barrier is a major
----
problem faced by Raghu in China. During the -------- --

Rajkummar shares, “Travelling abroad
comes with its own set of challenges. I faced
major language issues during a trip to China.
Something as simple as hailing a taxi or
explaining where I wanted to go would be
extremely difficult. Since I am a vegetarian,
ordering food at a restaurant or buying some-
thing from a local shop was also a big task. I
had to do a lot of jugaad to communicate well
with the locals. I told Mikhil about my past
experiences when he narrated some scenes to
me. He immediately decided to incorporate
them in the film, as he felt that it would make
the scenes more relatable for the audience.”

Nona.Walia@timesgroup.com
Q. What makes you kick off your hu-
morous side?
I think hanging out with my family — the
Kapadias — has an odd perspective on
most things. So when we are all together,
the one-liners really add up.
Q. Did you always have a sharp sense of
humour?
Now, people call it humour and wit; I pret-
ty much said the same things earlier and
they just thought I was weird.
Q. When did storytelling start fasci-
nating you?
I loved reading as a child and even to-
day, with three books under my belt
and five years of writing columns,
I think of myself as a reader more
than a writer.
It was in boarding school that
I first began writing morbid po-
ems. My mom gave me a special
file; it was made of black felt and
had an orange ribbon that held it
together. I hope I find it in an old
carton somewhere. She claims
my first poem was about man-
goes, but I believe it was about

that I can work in my pyjamas and I don’t
have to worry about my false eyelashes
falling into the mandatory cup of hot cof-

Q. What are the things that irritate you?
I tend to speak very fast, and sometimes,
it is frustrating that I have to slow down
so other people can truly understand what
I’m saying. Aside from that, I can take all
the roaches, mosquitoes, trolls and other
pesky creatures in my stride.
Q. Is the pen mightier than the sword?
The pen is mightier than the sword... till
it hits a brick wall. I am at that point, and

fiti behind.

to me. I also believe that once you have
achieved it you must use the privilege
to alleviate a little of the burden that
other women carry.

every aspect of their lives), are
you trying to create a judgment-

Yes, but in an irreverent manner,

“I’m a great supporter of ahimsa and karuna”

anyone because

H
is chuckle is most endear-
ing. Not far behind is the
childlike innocence His
Holiness the Dalai Lama retains in
the twinkle of his eyes. He is not
averse to going the extra mile just to
see you crack a smile – even if it
means pulling a funny face.
When he stepped in to meet us,
Dalai Lama had just spent his morn-
ing greeting the many people who
come to catch a glimpse of the God
in exile, the supporter of Tibetans.
They prostrate themselves before
him, bow, touch his feet, kiss his
hands; some cling to him and burst
into tears. He calmly meets all,
speaks words of hope and wisdom,
smiles and chuckles, intent on send-
ing back all smiling.
He walks in unaided to greet us as
we wait at his residence in McLeod
Ganj. His first words after the initial
greetings are, “I am a great support-
er of ahimsa and karuna – this is the
but with the help of analysis and
science. It all has to be logical.” Af-
ter a pause, “You have to be peace-
ful. And peace comes through non-
violence and compassion.”
Just as I start to ask a question, he
continues, “Compassion is a very
important virtue. We are all social
animals. So we live together and take
hope and courage from each other.
Animals stop at that, but humans
have to do more than that. Promote
peace. Stay positive and hopeful.
Protect the environment.”
A pause, but understanding he has
more to say, I stay quiet. Dalai Lama
continues, “I believe in the oneness
of 7 billion people. We are all one.
Problems arise when we start think-
ing ‘us’ and ‘them’.” Smiling he
looks at us and waits now.
I ask him a question that has both-
ered me consistently.
Your Holiness, should compassion
and forgiveness extend to evil also?
Dalai Lama says, “What is evil?
There is no evil in a child. As they
grow up, our attitudes make peo-
ple evil or terrorists. Compassion
and understanding can take care of
all. You change your attitude to-
wards people and they will also be-
come different. Be compassionate
towards enemies.”
He continues, “Like China and we
Tibetans – we have to ultimately all
live together as brothers and sisters;
why be enemies?” Pausing, he allows
a naughty twinkle to settle in his
eyes and adds with a chuckle, “Fight
occasionally!”
“Hope is everything. It is important
to keep people positive and looking
forward.” His Holiness, despite his
description of himself as “a wise
monk on a peaceful journey in
search of self-enlightenment” occa-
sionally allows his irrepressible hu-
mour and honesty to get the better
of him. And so he takes his habitual
dig at the US President Donald
Trump, “Not like Trump. Every
morning something bad!” Chuckle.
He wags a finger at us.
Next I ask His Holiness if he has
achieved inner peace? He responds
with a faraway look, “Everyone who
meets me goes back smiling. I always
smile at everyone. I love teasing peo-
ple. People don’t believe my age –
look at my teeth, my lips, my face
(he displays all). This is because of
inner peace. I believe in Bodhicitta
(altruism) – the goodness in all hu-
man beings. You must work on your-
self. Change your attitude.
whether friend, foe or
demon, I see a

will run away!
“I am not afraid of anyone be-
cause whether friend, foe or demon,
I see a brother or a sister in everyone.
If you are scared of anyone, put up
my photo and they will run away!”
Of course, he chuckles here.
How are we different from the 80s
and 90s? “The world has matured
with suffering. Look at the European
Union. If EU had not been formed,
all these European countries would
have been fighting with each other.
But now they are one and there is no
question of war. After the suffering
in the two World Wars, they have
learnt their lesson.”
says the Dalai Lama without hesi-
tation. But not just for yourself,
spread peace amongst humanity
and for your country too. That is
all part of you. Conversations and
debates help. Debate with others
and with your own self to under-
stand and analyse.
As we talked to the Dalai Lama, a
fog had spread across the monastery,
swirling through the corridors of the
main temple. We take our leave and
as we circumambulate the monastery
and emerge, we see the fog has dissi-
pated as mysteriously as it appeared.

UNDERSTAND THE DOG
Don’t pet a dog which doesn’t
initiate contact with you. Even
the slightest hint of contact,
like tail wagging or eye contact,
can be considered a sign for
petting. Understand the dog’s
mood by the wag of the tail. Let
the dog sniff you and become
familiar with you. If he stays
back or acts a little grumpy, you
should not pet him.

greetings and pats.
PERFECT APPROACH
Whether it is your own dog or an
unknown one, you have to always
approach the dog slowly, and prefer-
ably, bend down to their height.
STOP WHEN THE DOG FEELS
UNCOMFORTABLE
When you approach the dog, if s/he
moves away or shows any signs of
discomfort, you need to stop.
HUGGING BLUES
Hugging your dog can be a routine
for you. But do you know that
some dogs get frightened and
threatened when you hug them?
Cuddling your furry companion
for a pampering session is nothing
less than rejuvenation, but you
need to be cautious. Your pet may

over others. If you notice the dog
exhibiting any such signs, it is bet-

PETTING YOUR FRIEND’S DOG

dog, you must ask the pet parent
about the dog’s temperament and
behaviour. If the dog is friendly with
 Understand that each dog
has individual choices, likes
and dislikes. All dogs are
different and have different
preferences.
 When you understand
how physical contact is
affecting your pet, it helps
you develop a positive
relation.
 Generally, most dogs like to be patted on the chest, back and
behind the ears. In fact, it is rightly said that ‘Give a dog a belly rub
and you’ll have both a friend and a permanent job.’
 Many people think that dogs like being patted on the head. This
is not true at all. It is quite common for dogs to lean away when
