SRINAGAR, June 27:
Over 50 youth from Kashmir
who travelled to Pakistan on
visas have joined militancy
over the last few years and
over a dozen of them have
already been killed in gun bat-
tles while few of them were
arrested in the Valley.
An official said that the trend
started few years back after
counter-infiltration measures
were tightened along the Line of
Control (LoC) and ex-filtration
and infiltration of militants
became difficult.
Majority of them are from
Shopian district of South
Kashmir who travelled on valid
documents to Pakistan and later

April 2018.
They were identified as

LoC to cause major terror acts in
view of large number of killings
of their cadre in the Valley.
The stepped-up operations
against the militants in Kashmir

The sample taken at District
Hospital, Anantnag tested nega-

we had taken him to hospital
after he complained of uneasi-

His sample was taken for
COVID-19, while the report
was awaited, he was shifted to
Srinagar, where again the sam-
ple was taken," said Abdul
Hameed, son of the patient hail-
ing from Mishpoora area of
Kulgam district.
He said he was taken aback
when the reports of the tests came

on Jammu-Poonch-Banihal -

"Now, since the Government
has settled the fare issue by giving
30% hike while the Unions were
demanding 50% increase, there is
no much contention on that issue
now. The main reason behind the
non-operation is apprehension of
losses, non-availability of passen-

JAMMU, June 27: National
Conference Provincial President,
Devender Singh Rana today
urged the BJP and the Jammu
and Kashmir Administration to
come up with a roadmap for
safeguarding lands, jobs admis-
sion in professional colleges of
the permanent residents, saying
some of the recent moves, espe-
cially the domicile rules, have
caused concern and apprehen-
sions in the minds of the people.
"Repeated assurances and
rhetorical statements by Jammu
BJP leaders that the lands and
jobs of the permanent residents
will be preserved exclusively for
them (permanent residents) have
turned out hollow and bereft of
facts on the ground", the
Provincial President said, adding
that the BJP leaders should come
clean on these issues and stick to
their commitments made to the
people with regard to preserva-
tion of their rights vis a vis land
and jobs in Jammu and Kashmir.

She highlighted that during
2019-20 all DICs of Jammu divi-

under the PMEGP. She informed
that the Directorate has re-started

was informed that the department

He said the government must
come up with a pragmatic mech-
anism to address these important
matters in tandem with the senti-
ments and aspirations of the peo-
ple of J&K, who are genuinely
feeling a sense of denial, depri-
vation and politico-economic
disempowerment.
Rana described eligibility to
jobs and ownership of lands as
most emotive and sensitive issue
and said ambiguity on the part of
the Government in the backdrop
of promises made by the BJP top
leadership from time to time, has
added to the concern of the peo-
ple, who feel let down in the
wake of one after another inimi-
cal move of the administration.
The Governments, both at the
Centre and here are not walking
the talk, which is evident by the
issuance of domicile rules and
their implementation that have
potential to push the permanent
residents to the wall. The people
want guarantee on the safeguard
to land and jobs for the bonafide
permanent residents of Jammu
and Kashmir, he stressed.
The Provincial President
said the domicile rules have put

concern should, in fact, have

continued dilemma is making
the young restive, he said while
referring to the commotion gen-
erated by fixing the eligibility
criteria for various categories of
jobs, notified recently.
He slammed local BJP lead-
ers on creating confusion over
jobs and land by doling out tall
assurances and indulging in pol-
icy decisions which are other-
wise not their domain or prerog-
ative. They come up with inno-
vative solutions and promises
and get away with these uncere-

selled them not to pretend as

The Provincial President

the youth, that the National

SRINAGAR, June 27: The
cab operators operating to
Jammu and Ladakh from
Srinagar today demanded that
they should be allowed to start
their operations, assuring that
they will follow the Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs)
amid COVID-19 pandemic.
The operators said that they
have been approaching the
authorities regarding this, how-
ever, so far, nothing has been
done with regard to the resump-
tion of the services from
Srinagar.
Fayaz Ahmad Padder,
President TRC Jammu bound
sumo operators said if other
states in the country have start-
ed the operation of the transport
what is stopping the administra-
tion of J&K in allowing the
same.
"Whatever SOPs we will be
asked to follow, we will do that
but at least allow us to operate;
there are several other aspects
associated which are getting
affected as we are lying idle for
last many months now," he said.
He said that at least 300
families are getting affected due
to the non-operational of servic-
es as of now. "We don't want to
suffer our families anymore and
appeal the administration to
allow us to operate from
Srinagar to Jammu," he said.
The transporters said that
they approached the Deputy
Commissioner, Srinagar as well
as the Additional Deputy
Commissioner, but they have
not decided anything on it so
far. "10 days have passed since
we met them, but the situation
remains to be the same," he
said.
Meanwhile, the Srinagar-
Jammu-Ladakh Taxi Services
Owners and Drivers Union TRC
headed by Waseem Ashraf Bhat
also attempted to stage a protest
today, however, the bid to regis-
ter the protest was foiled.
The transporters said that the
buses are ferrying passengers
from Atari and that too without
any social distancing and that
they fail to understand why only
the private transport owners are
being made to suffer.
The transporters have
appealed the higher-ups, espe-
cially the Lieutenant Governor
Girish Chandra Murmu to look
into the matter and put an end to
their miseries.
Dwivedi exhorted upon General
Managers of District Industries
Centres (DIC)s to effectively pur-
sue the implementation of provi-
sions of announcements under the
Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and
provide inputs on the achievements

keeping a close liaison with the

gave a brief overview of the set of
measures announced by the Union
Finance Minister, under Atma
Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan or Self
Reliant Movement highlighting its
five pillars Economy,
Infrastructure, System, Vibrant
Demography and Demand.
He said "out of the total
Package of Rs 20 lakh crore-
equivalent to 10% of India`s GDP
under Atma Nirbhar Bharat
Abhiyan, the share dedicated to

The Commissioner
Secretary asked the General
Managers to highlight any diffi-
culties faced at ground level and
give their suggestions.
Earlier, Director Industries &
Commerce Jammu, Anoo
Malhotra, gave a presentation on
the achievements of the Industries

JAMMU, June 27: Deputy
Commissioner Jammu, Sushma
Chauhan, today reviewed the
process of issuance of Domicile
in the Tehsils at a Video
Conference meeting with the
concerned Tehsildars.
The Tehsildars gave detailed
account of the number of
Domicile Certificates issued by
their offices till today.
In this regard, a daylong
training was imparted to all
Tehsildars, along with the deal-
ing assistants, by DIO NIC
Jammu at Deputy
Commissioner Office Jammu to
ensure seamless issuance of e-
Domicile Certificates to appli-
cants.
This was the first ever video
conferencing held with SDMs
and Tehsildars in Jammu and
supported by NIC.
In view of ongoing
COVID19 pandemic, the tech-
nology is a very powerful tool
for interaction with officers and
public while adhering to COVID
containment strategies and
SOPs.
The DC appreciated the
efforts of all Tehsildars in effi-
cient adaption of Information
Technology as even some of the
remote Tehsils were connected
with DC Office for video meet
either through Broadband or 2G.
She stated that very soon this
technology will be used for fre-
quent revenue review meetings
and for redressal of public griev-
ances through e-Darbars.
During the meeting,
Tehsildars were also informed
about the "e-darbar" grievance
redressal mechanism which will
start from 2nd of July 2020.
During e-Durbar one Tehsil
office will get connected with
DC Office as per weekly sched-
ule issued in advance. The con-
cerned Tehsil Office will organ-
ize participation of 15-20 per-
sons for interaction (one at a
time) with DC Jammu. During
their interaction, their concerns
and issues will be documented
and maintained in customized
dashboard for timely redressal.
The schedule of e-Darbar for the
month of July will be circulated,
after the video meet, as informed
by Deputy Commissioner

eveloping, renovating, relocating or disman-
tling any existing structure of any type in the
city or elsewhere cannot be done unless
some structural changes necessarily to be brought
in, did not disturb physical existing equations. In
other words , some sort of disturbance, dislocation,
shifting etc, in the process, are bound to take
place. Many a time , the Government and its various
agencies encounter resistance, even face court
cases, when it comes to dislocating some house-
holds, shops , structures and other entities where
genuine economic and commercial activities were
carried on in order to widen existing roads, build a
flyover or shift or expand an existing bus depot or air
field and the like. That is precisely not for the reason
that development and innovative changes for the
better are not liked by the people of the area but
the issues of compensation, relocating alternate
sites, reimbursing cost of damages, paying ex-
gratia and other forms of indemnification either take
unusually long periods or by the time actual pay-
ments are made, they are not in congruence with
the existing prevailing market prices . The "File"
culture is so deep ingrained in our officialdom and
bureaucratic culture that all wilful delays, reluctance
to take prompt decisions and all other ifs and buts
are attributed to "File" movement.
Twenty two shops carrying on with their small
business for years together from the premises of
Old Bus Stand duly permitted by the Jammu
Development authority (JDA) had to vacate the
place resulting in the demolishing of their shops as
the Bus Stand was to be converted into better pub-
lic utility purposes and decongest the area . The
concerned shopkeepers who initially were quite
reluctant in parting with their shops due to the trust
deficit on the Government agencies to move proper-
ly and with speed in resolving matters which emerge
as aftermaths of initiation of such developmental
projects, reportedly at the mediation of some politi-
cal leaders finally agreed on the condition that they
were provided with alternate places. This all hap-
pened in 2017 and within three months time, these
22 shops should have been operating from Narwal
Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT) itself. However, the
fact of the matter is that even though shops at the
ISBT are constructed , these displaced shopkeep-
ers from the Old Bus Stand have not been allotted
shops by the JDA.
These shopkeepers are earning their livelihood
by sitting and "doing their small business" from the
footpaths on the road and have been contacting
each and every concerned official for resolving their
issue. The question is of livelihood and no means
whatsoever should be used for whatever genuine
cause which could snatch or affect one's liveli-
hood unless a better alternative was provided by
the Government. Agreed, sooner or later, these dis-
established, if not strictly uprooted, shop keepers
would be allotted shops in the ISBT at Narwal but
why this inordinate delay of three years when the
shops were built nearly as many years earlier. What
rationale or basis can be spelt out for causing so
long a delay and who was responsible for that must
be found out and suitable remedial action taken.
Such unwanted delays breed corruption besides
putting to avoidable trouble the affected per-
sons.
However, it is not that such eviction, or dislocation
was the last one but factually the evolution of devel-
opmental process being on continuous basis brings
with it, a bit of such collateral issues and if such an
attitude post dislocation was exhibited by
Government agencies as a routine, problems were
likely to creep up with prospects of hindering , if not
marring, future similar developmental projects
and innovative programme implementations.
"Quasi permanent" stay
in FATF's Grey List
U
ntil October this year at least, Pakistan con-
tinues to be in the "Grey List" of the global
terror financing watch dog FATF as it has
again failed to check flow of money to terror groups
like LeT and JeM. It may be noted that FATF has,
based on facts and figures, been placing Pakistan
on 'Grey List' since June 2018 and reviewing the
developments periodically wherein Pakistan is not
scoring the minimum requisite points to be spooned
out from the restricted list. However, recently, its
plenary held under the presidency of Xiangmin Liu
from China decided about its continuance in the
same brackets as before. Astonishing , though it
looks, that despite such sanctions against it,
Pakistan does not alter its state policy of promot-
ing terrorism and religious hatred. This decision of
the FATF comes close on heels of the US Country
Reports on Terrorism which slammed Pakistan as a
safe harbour for what it calls "regionally focussed
terror groups" and thus allowing the two terror out-
fits to operate from its soil.
With this 'sanction' against Pakistan, India's con-
tinuous stand on the issue that Pakistan was pro-
moting , funding and supporting terrorism stands
again vindicated. India has been pleading for suit-
able action against Pakistan as it has been extend-
ing active support to these terror groups whose
prime target is India. Should that country continue to
disregard the implications of such rating from the
FATF, most probably it could slip down into 'Black
List' with effect from the start of November 2020.
The choice is solely of Pakistan.

T
hinking of Galwan inci-
dent of 15th June 2020
and battle action of 20
unarmed Biharis, led by Col
Santosh Babu, one is reminded
of Gen Patton's saying, "I don't
want you to die for your country.
You should make the other poor
dumb bastard die for his coun-
try"; and premier Modi's state-
ment, "veh marte marte marte
mare hain". At the hindsight it
looks as if it is for these sayings
that Col Babu must have led his
brave men and led them from the
front. He made his adversary
including a Colonel and another
officer die in that gallant Galwan
action. Initial inputs suggested
that seeing a PLA tent remaining
pitched where it was earlier, he
ordered it to be burnt on which a
scuffle seems to have ensued
with those Chinese soldiers who
were still there despite assurance
of going back, resulting into
deaths both sides in which he
also died. Hence Col Babu died
while doing his sacred duty.
Colonel Santosh Babu, the
renowned martyr of Galwan Val-
ley, in Ladakh Sector, was the
Commanding Officer (CO) of 16
Bihar, the Bn he had taken over
a fortnight before. The motto of
Bihar Regiment is "Karam hi
Dharam" (work is worship). He
died performing his sacred duty
in the line of action. In the short
spell of command, as usual, he
developed a close rapport with
the men that they followed him
to the adversary's camp
unarmed. They haven't laid
down their life for nothing.
Nation is proud of gallant mar-
tyrs of 16 Bihar and 3 Fd Regt

the Galwan Valley. It is their bold
and gallant action that endured

that nature does not

centuries, and it will continue to

creation of Corona virus, the Sun
might stop shinning and plunge

India suffered at the hands of
Covid during the three month
long Lockdown, and now the
country is limping back to nor-

smooth ride but as the whole
world is looking at us to show
them the path to come out of this

the whole world is so surprised
to see the way India celebrated

Yoga inspires us to live in harmony with nature
Dr Bharti Chhibber
A
s we recently celebrated
the Sixth International
Day of Yoga on 21 June
2020, we realise that yoga and its
benefits are universal and are not
confined to any particular area or
people. However, as we are from
the land of yoga, I recall the
famous words of Gandhi, the
world has enough for everyone's
need, but not enough for every-
one's greed.
Nature has always been very
vibrant and resilient. As an
ancient civilisation, India takes
pride in its strong cultural her-
itage. Culture protect and nurture
nature. We worship sun, wind,
land, trees, plants, and water
which is the very basis of human
survival. Similarly, conservation
of wildlife is also part of our cul-
tural ethos. Various ancient texts
written in Sanskrit, Pali and oth-
er languages like the scripture
Vishnu Samhit in Sanskrit lan-
guage contain instructions for
biodiversity conservation.
However, owing to unsus-
tainable development activities
of mankind, rapid urbanization,
over-population and deforesta-
tion, wildlife and wildlife habi-
tats are increasingly endangered.
Global warming and pollution
pose serious threats to flora and
fauna. Likewise, acidic rain is
destroying animal and plant
ecosystems. Many animal and
plant species are already on the
verge of extinction. Now, it has

captured by the enemy adding
that not an inch of our land will
be allowed to be occupied by the
enemies, because by then the
gallant Biharis had dislodged the
adversary from the Galwan Val-
ley.
What triggered the deadly
action is also becoming clearer.
During the 6th June Corps Com-
manders meeting in Ladakh it
was decided that PLAwill vacate
Galwan heights before 15 June
ie within 10 days of the meeting.
Since the Galwan ingress was in
the area of responsibility of 16
BIHAR, the CO himself went on
the ground to verify and confirm
to his superior commanders of
physical vacation of the area or
otherwise. (also possible that his
Brigade Commander asked him
to do so). CO and his escort were
ty of population, we are so lucky
not to be in community transmis-
sion stage.
Now gradually India pre-
pares to return to business as usu-
al and workers prepare to trickle
back into offices, moving from
the Lockdown to Unlockdown,
the SOP is same but the fear of
Corona which was there in the
last week of March has evaporat-
ed. And we have to keep this in
mind, especially the people like
me who work in banks or any oth-
er public sector, dealing with
general public, where most of the
times it is not possible to follow
the basic advisories announced
by the government from time to
time. Coronavirus is a very tricky
customer and it can spread
through unsuspecting carriers
and lurk on surfaces from where
it can jump to its next host. But
the strategies carefully applied
can go a long way towards keep-
ing the disease at bay.
Hospitals are a good place to
learn about workplace safety
protocol given that medical
workers have been in the thick of
the pandemic, followed by the
rural area Banks, and the meas-
ures used by them to prevent
transmission hold crucial point-
ers for others. Here we have to
stick to the basics, the same prin-
cipals followed during Lock-
down have to be repeated and
adopted in our daily life as the
become critical that we restore
this balance and mitigate envi-
ronmental consequences of
unsustainable development.
Yoga is a way of life. It teach-
es us to be content and care for
nature instead of materialistic
world of concreate jungle. It
makes us one with nature, one
with ecosystem and we become
conscious of our surroundings. It
makes us appreciate and feel
thankful to the environment,
water bodies and all living
species including animals and
plants. It inspires us to inculcate
respect for humanity.
Yoga as a discipline implies
ethical principles which become
a part of day to day life of a prac-
titioner. One of these principles
is ahimsa or non-violence. Peo-
ple who feel empowered through
the practice of yoga are more
likely to adjust their behaviour to
help the fellow beings and the
environment. More and more
yoga practitioners are following
a satvic diet and becoming vege-
tarian. This is the process of
Swadhyaya where one self-
analyses creating deeper under-
standing of our nature.
When one practice yoga, pos-
itive physical and mental
changes occur in a very subtle
way. Swami Vivekananda also
mentioned about the significance
of life-style and consumption
patterns for affirmative living.
Yoga help us in letting go of our
attachments. With the detach-

in the most despicable manner is
also clear. They fought despite
all odds and lost 20 lives. After-
all 'Paltan Izzat' and trust of the
nation was at stake at that
moment of time. Many such
instances of the past are on
record when soldiers gave their
life and some of them have been
so significant that they created
an impact of far-reaching mag-
nitude on the narrow confines of
tactical aspects of the warfare
which at times took a recourse to
strategic outcome and become a
structural episode in the annals
of military history. One such
incident of interest of recent
times, akin to 'Battle of Ther-
mopylae' is the 'battle of Uri' in
which 100 odd Dogra soldiers

DISTANCING
The novel coronavirus
spreads primarily through respi-
ratory droplets released when
people cough, sneeze, talk, or
even just breathe. This is why the
physical distancing norms now
"People tend to focus on two desires:
Safety and Freedom; keep me safe and
leave me alone," but now, people need to
become increasingly concerned with
keeping others safe too. It means taking
the risks of Covid-19 seriously- that
means choosing to stay at home even for
a runny nose or a sore throat. Workplace
needs to encourage this behaviour.

become aware of the air we
breathe, water we drink, and

we are all connected and we
should be mindful of our actions.
So, next time, keeping environ-
ment in mind instead of buying
latest gadgets at the drop of a hat,
a practitioner is more inclined to
use reusable and recycled prod-
ucts as our discarded e-waste

HYGIENE
Advisories on handwashing
tell us that each time it has to be
for at least twenty seconds and
involve a thorough scrubbing of
fingers, palms, wrists and nails.
But the stress must be on fre-
quency and hand-washing must
be at least five times a day to cut
medical visits for respiratory
infections by around 45%. One

they enter and exit a group set-

reduces dependence on medi-

whole world is facing the pan-

to our well-being as it enhances

War. Not going into further

Bihar & 3 Fd Regt and treach-
eries of rugged mountains and

Babu's act of valour is a testa-
ment to the motto of 'service
before self' as well as sacred
resolve of the Armed forces in
the service of the motherland.
Being a Bihari Veteran and a
Dogra of J&K by birth, I am
immensely proud of the act of
valour of my
regimental offi-
cers and men
whose gallant
act will be
etched in 'golden
letters' in the
military history.
Col Babu has
earned the heart-
felt acknowl-

nation posthu-
mously for con-
spicuous gal-
lantry which is a
hallmark of mil-
itary leadership.
It is remarkable

contrary the death of the CO gal-

boards of ATMs, sitting arrange-
ments should be done on regular
intervals. The practice of dealing
in cash must be replaced with
eChannels, as studies suggest
that the currency is the biggest
carrier of the infection.
SCREENING
Screening measures before
entering a building or public
spaces have begun in many parts
of the country, but this practice
needs to be adopted vigorously
and all employees, customers
and visitors must be screened at
the entrance doors. In particular
employees have to confirm, in an
online form before entering, that
they have not developed any
symptoms. Aarogya Setu App is
the best available option for self-
screening but yes it can't be relied
upon as a foolproof option as
people can lie, but such daily
check-ins have encouraged
employees to report symptoms to
not only begin receiving treat-
ment but also to protect their
families and colleagues.
MASKS
Wearing a Mask is "I protect
you; You protect me". Asympto-
matic transmission, given the
danger it poses, means the three
pillars above alone aren't
towards enlightenment. One of
them is the Mantra japa which is
beneficial for spiritual growth.
The Aum, symbolises Shakti or
divine energy as manifestation of
creation, preservation, and liber-
ation. Last year to commemorate
the International Day of Yoga on
21 June, the United Nations' offi-
cials and diplomats joined in the
chanting of the Aum in the UN
General Assembly hall. The Aum
chanting cleanses internal and
external environment creating
positive vibrations and the Vedic
science corroborates it.
The Yoga Mudra also has sci-
entifically proven benefits.
Based on the five elements or the
tatva that humans and nature are
made up of i.e. Fire, Air, Space,
Earth & Water, the Yoga mudra
is the symbolic hand gesture to
redirect energy. A balanced state
of these five elements will result
in efficient working of physical
and intellectual capacities. What
one feels inside resonates out-
side. One become selfless from
being selfish and more inclined
towards walking and tree planta-
tion, thus reducing one's carbon
footprint.
The Bhagavad Gita com-
posed of 700 verses as part of the
Bhishma Parva from the epic text
the Mahabharata highlights the
different kinds of Yoga as Arju-
na seeks Shri Krishna's guidance
in the battlefield. The yoga con-
nects the jivatama with the par-
matama. In these diverse forms
ous footsteps of their predeces-
sors who have left their foot-
prints on the sands of battle-
fields.
The limited inputs from
media and diplomatic circles
also suggest that the Biharis have
done themselves, their Paltan,
their formation, the Indian Army
and the country a great proud and
made others job of dealing with
PLA much easier. They have
also proved that the morale and
the will to fight against all odds
at the level of an Infantry Bn is
the only winning factor in the
battlefield. I regret the loss of
twenty precious lives. I salute
Col Babu and his gallant men.
Many countries in Asia avoid
standing up to the Chinese hege-
mony and PLA's bully. Many
have fully surrendered to their
territorial aggressions and diplo-
matic maneuvers. This is seen in
Tibet, Southern Mangolia, Pak-
istan, Hong Kong and South
China Sea. This has given rise to
China's arrogance and over-
stretch of muscles. And this has
further percolated down to the
rank and file of PLA little real-
izing that Indian soldier is a dif-
ferent stock altogether. Hopeful-
ly Col Babu's Galwan action will
be the beginning of the end of
PLA bully and Modi era will be
beginning of an end to the Chi-
nese hegemony.
China has proved beyond
doubt that it cannot be trusted,
hence any agreement, treaty or
talk with such inimical neighbor
is meaningless. While what next
will be different from the status
quo, the current tragic loss of sol-
diers and a highly competent
military leader is a big loss not
only to the army but to the nation
because it is such people who
make or write the illustrious his-
tory of a nation. That is what
makes young lads crazy for mil-
itary service.

enough. Wearing a mask acts as
a "Source Control" by preventing
respiratory droplets spreading
infection without the person's
knowledge. A study published in
Nature says a surgical mask, if
worn properly, can block 99% of
respiratory droplets released by
people with coronaviruses.
Homemade cloth masks, too,
were found to be effective, pre-
venting about 60% of viral trans-
mission from the wearer. Masks
are intended to help protect oth-
ers, not the wearers.
CULTURE
"People tend to focus on two
desires: Safety and Freedom;
keep me safe and leave me
alone," but now, people need to
become increasingly concerned
with keeping others safe too. It
means taking the risks of Covid-
19 seriously- that means choos-
ing to stay at home even for a run-
ny nose or a sore throat. Work-
place needs to encourage this
behaviour.

gest and request to my fellow col-
leagues to unlock the lockdown

your customers and your family

of yoga with an ultimate aim of
spiritual awareness, Karma yoga
means fulfilment of one's duty;
Gyana yoga focuses on knowl-
edge and Bhakti yoga emphasis-
es on the power of devotion. We
can relate these forms of yoga to
our duty, understanding and
commitment to the conservation
of the natural resources. Like-
wise, the Yoga Sutras of Patan-
jali comprising of 196 Sanskrit
sutras on the theory and practice
of yoga in the form of the Ash-
tanga Yoga lay emphasis on niya-
mas, contentment and Pranaya-
ma.
In the final, yoga is an in
depth and vast discipline which
motivates us to be content and
full of gratitude for nature. Yoga
is both an inward and an outward
journey manifested in the form of
love and respect for nature. A
practitioner makes conscious
effort to change. As a way of life,
yoga promotes healthy living.
Through yoga one realizes that it
is our duty and responsibility to
take care of the environment
upon which we depend for our
survival. Hence, yoga teaches us
the holistic view of the world and
inspire us to live in complete har-
mony with self and the nature.
So, keep practising yoga. Stay
Safe! Stay healthy!

Nadda steps up his attack on Early onset of monsoon Soldier laid to rest with full honour

CHANDIGARH, June 27: Amarinder Singh on Saturday body, wrapped in the Tricolour,

Cong over donations to RGF
NEW DELHI, June 27:
Intensifying his attack on the
Congress, BJP president J P
Nadda on Saturday asked the
opposition party 10 questions,
including about alleged links
between the Rajiv Gandhi
Foundation and China, and said
that his party will leave no stone
unturned in "exposing double-
faced politicians".
"I want to tell Sonia Gandhi
that under the garb of China and
COVID-19 crisis, one should
not shy away from answering
the questions the nation wants to
know... It's a shame. It's a sacri-
fice of national interest by
accepting money from foreign
powers in personal trusts,"
Nadda told reporters while
attacking the Congress presi-
dent.
Amid the standoff with
China, he asserted that India
under Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is safe and secure, and that
its brave armed forces are fully
capable of protecting the coun-
try. The central government has
also handled the COVID-19 cri-
sis in the best possible manner,
he added.
Nadda alleged that the RGF,
which is headed by Sonia
Gandhi, received donations
every year from the Chinese
embassy between 2005-09 and
from the "tax haven" of
Luxembourg, which is full of
"hawala transactions", between
2006-09.
NGOs and companies with
"deep commercial interests" also
donated to the foundation, he
alleged.
The Congress had earlier dis-
missed Nadda's attack on the
RGF over alleged donations to it
from the Chinese embassy and
the Prime Minister National
Relief Fund as a "diabolical
game of deception" by the ruling
party to divert attention from the
alleged Chinese occupation of
Indian territory.
Hitting out at the Congress,
Nadda said, "Congress and cor-
ruption are synonymous. Our
party will contribute to the
nation's development to change
its face, and will also leave no
stone unturned in exposing dou-
ble-faced politicians."
Nadda asked the Congress
on Saturday to come clean on its
"links" with China, and the
details of its MoU with the
Communist Party of China.
He said India's trade deficit
with China soared to USD 36.2
billion in 2013-14 from USD 1.1
billion in 2004 and asked if it
was "quid pro quo" from the
Congress. The Congress-led
UPA was in power between
2004-14.
The Congress "weakened"
India's economic position by
entering into trade pact, which
included China, he said.
The BJP president also took
a jibe at former prime minister
Manmohan Singh, accusing him
of allocating Rs 100 crore to the
foundation as the finance minis-
ter in 1991 when India was
going through its "worst finan-
cial crisis".
"Since then it has regularly
received donation from min-
istries. Yet, the RGF refuses to
be audited by the CAG or even
come under the Right to
Information Act. What does
Manmohan Singh have to say on
this monumen-
tal loot and
organised plun-
der," Nadda
asked.
Singh had
used "monu-
mental loot and
organised plun-
der" barb to
criticise the
Modi govern-
ment's demon-
etisation deci-
sion in 2016.
The Gandhi family, Nadda
said, believes in "authority with-
out responsibility" and asked the
Congress president to answer
the questions raised by him.
He also had a dig at
Congress leader
Chidambaram, who had asked
earlier if Modi would assure the
country that China would vacate
Indian territory and restore sta-
tus quo ante at the border, seek-
ing to know if the RGF returned
Rs 20 lakh it had taken as dona-
tion earlier.
Chidambaram's comments,
Nadda said, were an "admission
of guilt". Chidambaram is also
facing corruption charges and
was in jail before getting bail, he
said.
With the opposition often
attacking the Modi government
over Mehul Choksi, accused of
defrauding banks, fleeing India,
Nadda said Choksi had donated
money to the RGF.
The "crown prince" of the
Congress had used the most
"obnoxious" language for Modi
after Choksi fled but he was
helped by the Congress to get
bank loans, Nadda alleged. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, June 27:
The early onset of monsoon
triggered moderate-to-heavy rain-
fall across India on Saturday, bar-
ring a few places on the west
coast, providing a breeding
ground for the crop-threatening
locusts that invaded the country
via Pakistan towards the end of
April.
Several areas in Rajasthan,
Haryana and Uttar Pradesh report-
ed locust attacks as authorities
struggled to chase them away or
kill them by spraying pesticides.
The short-horn hoppers even
descended on Gurgaon near the
national capital, where the humid-
ity levels oscillated between 49
and 82 per cent. The Delhi gov-
ernment has put all its districts on
alert as a small swarm covering 1
sq km can consume the food
35,000 people can eat in one day.
Experts say the desert locusts
usually arrive in India with the
onset of the southwest monsoon, a
wind system blowing from the
Arabian Sea to the mainland, aid-
ing the movement of the hoppers
from Africa and West Asia. The
humid weather and intermittent
P SENIOR ADVOCATE
rainfall provide a fertile ground to
the pink immature adults to multi-
ply very rapidly.
Several parts of north India,
including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
Haryana and Punjab have been
witnessing moderate-to-heavy
rainfall for the past few days and
this possibly has led to increased
locust movement and breeding.
On Saturday, Delhi
Environment Minister Gopal Rai
chaired an emergency meeting
with senior officials after the
locusts reached the Asola Bhatti
area in South Delhi.
Officials said the insects were
now headed to Palwal and
Faridabad and from there they
could enter UP, which is already
battling a number of swarms in
several of its districts including
Jhansi, Chitrakoot, Allahabad,
Pratapgarh and Bhadohi.
A swarm has also attacked the
UP agriculture minister Surya
Pratap Shahi's home district
Deoria. Shahi said the districts
where the swarms will take shel-
ter, chemicals will be sprayed on
them and they will be killed.
Other districts have been alerted,
he added.
The Gautam Buddh Nagar
administration on UP's western
border with Delhi has set up a
helpline - 0120 2977986 - to assist
the general public against the
locust menace, which has been
declared as a disaster by the state
government.
The district, which also bor-
ders Haryana, has set up a task
force and asked residents to chase
the locusts away by making high-
decibel sounds by beating drums,
utensils; playing high-volume
music, bursting crackers, and
burning neem leaves. It also asked
the people to spray chemicals dur-
ing the night, when locusts rest on
crops.
In Rajasthan, where the mon-
soon appears to have weakened
after reaching on June 25, the
weather department said not
much rainfall is likely for next
three-four days. The monsoon
may pick up again and heavy
rainfall is likely in Kota and
Udaipur on June 30. Bikaner was

RAMKOTE : The Historical Village

Old palaces and Forts of Ramkote. Photo/Pardeep Khajuria

Dr R K Gupta
Nestled in beautiful hills surrounded by lush green forests,
on the bank of Basanter stream, lies a small town Ramkote
on Dhar Udhampur Road. The place is about 85 Km from
Jammu well connected by road through Mansar, Suriansar
and Dayalachack. From Udhampur, it is about 55 Kms on
the Dhar Road while the distance from Kathua is near
50 Kms via Dayalachak Road.
The old name of this town was Mankote, a small state
established by Raja Manak Dev, a contemporary of Raja
Narsingh Dev of Jammu (1272-1314 AD). The state was
spread over an area of 24 Kms in length and 15 Kms in
breadth. Geographically it was bounded by Bandralata in
the north, Karaidiri mountains in the south separating it
from Samba and Jasrota , Billawar in the east and in the
west by Bhoti. Later it was renamed by Raja Suchet
Singh (1822-43 AD) as RAMKOTE. At present, it is a
tehsil headquarter with a population of more than five
thousand people. This place is famous for Dogra history
and culture. This Dogra heritage village is popular for
Dogra history, Mankote style of paintings, ancient tem-
ples, remnant of historical monuments, the unique Chinjj
and Mela, the oldest Ramlila and wonderful Dogri cul-
ture and festivities.
HISTORY OF RAMKOTE
As per the archaeological explorations , at many sites
around Ramkote, like Billawar, Kootah, Chinji Makwal,
Dayalachak and around Udhampur evidences for Pre-
historic, Neolithic, Harappan, Kushana, Gupta, Post
Gupta and early medieval cultures were found in this
region. It remained a part of Dogra Kingdom since incep-
tion of Duggar land. This was evident from the copper
plate inscription in chamba that mentions about
Durgara, which is origin of word Dogra Land. The area
comprised of Barahumpura, Vallapura and Babbarpura.
The Barahumpura is Bralumar including Chamba
(Himachal Pradesh),Vallapura is the present day
Billawar and Babbarpura is modern Babour a small his-
torical town situated on the Udhampur-Dhar Road in
Majalta Tehsil of Udhampur District. All villages around
Ramkote were part of Babbapura which was a prosperous
township in early medieval period ruled by Kriti during
11th Century A.D as referred in the Rajtarangini by
Kalhana. Until this period, Ramkote was a small town.
However, with the advent of Jasrota Kingdom founded
by Raja Jasdev this town was built and handed over by
him to Raja Karandev. His eldest son Raja Bhoj Dev
extended his rule upto Surinsar and ruled Bhabbapur
around 1150 A.D. After the death of Raja Bhoj Dev in the
battle with Nasar- ul-Din (Bikrami 1032), his eldest son
Bhrorak became Raja of Bhabbore. He was not a fit ruler
and left the throne for his younger brother and his suc-
cessors were Bir Dev, Kirpal Dev and Ahal Dev. Later on,
one of their descendants, Raja Manak Dev conquered
some villages nearby Ramkote and built a fort on the
bank of Basanter Nallah and named it as new State
Mankote. Though, it was a small State having dimensions
of 25 kms by 15 kms lying between village Khoon and
river Ujh, this State remained important for Maharajas of
Raja Suchet Singh Raja Raghunath Singh
Jammu. Since inception, about twenty three rajas ruled
this state until their extinction in 1820. The notable
names among them were Manak Dev, Udai Dev,Nagar
Dev, Uttam Dev, Harichand Dev, Azmal Dev, Kalas Dev,
Biram Dev, Sarwar Dev and Partap Dev. Among them,
Raja Pratap Dev was a contemporary of Akbar who com-
manded Dogra armies against the rebellion by Hill Rajas
against Akbar. Another notable ruler of Mankote was
Raja Trehi Dev. These rajas ruled the State successively
until 1690 A.D, when the last Mankotia Raja Raja Maipat
Dev had to flee and leave the throne. His descendants
were known as Mankotia Rajputs who mostly went back
to Himachal Pradesh expect some who settled around
Jammu. Successively this State came under the rule of
Jamwal clan founded by Raja Dhruv Dev, a Jamwal ruler
of Jammu in 1703. Subsequently, around 1808, Jammu
became a part of the Sikh Empire, under Maharaja Ranjit
Singh who in 1820, gave Jammu to Gulab Singh.
The State of Ramkote was given by him to Raja Suchet
Singh, his younger brother who later established the
kingdom of Bandralata in 1822. Thereafter, the grandson
of Gulab Singh, Raja Ram Singh acquired the throne of
Bandralata and changed the name of Mankote to
Ramkote to set aside the influence of Mankotias and
replacing the prefix Man to Ram as Ramkote reflecting
his name and also changed Bandralta to Ramnagar as
well. After the death of Raja Ram Singh, this place came
under the rule of Jaswal clan around 1880 by Raja Ran
singh, grandson of the raja of Jaswan, Ummed Singh
(1800-1849)
Raja Lakshman Singh Raja Chain Singh
This happened because a suitable match for grand-
daughter of Maharaja Gulab Singh was proposed by his
chief purohit with grandson of Raja Ummed Singh of
Jaswan in1877. This was a very difficult decision for
Gulab singh as Raja Ummed singh had joined the Sikh in
an unsuccessful revolt against the British and he was
stripped off his title and exiled to Almora where he died.
His grandson, Raja Ran Singh was following punishment
in jail with iron mould in the neck. Even then, he was
helped by Maharaja Gulab Singh who requested the
British viceroy to free Ran Singh from captivity and got
him married to her granddaughter. His request was
accepted, as a result he later acquired the jagir of
Ramkote with 22 villages as rajwara in Jammu, the jagir
in Jaswan, along with several other former properties in
Rajpura and Amb, Raja Ran Singh died in 1892 and was
succeeded by his son Raja Raghunath Singh who died in
1918.
Thereafter, Raja Lakshman Singh succeeded him who
ruled Ramkote from 1918-1945. He died on 4th June
1945 in Ramkote and was cremated at Khoon, seven kilo-
metres from Ramkote. From 1945 to 1947, his son Raja
Chain Singh acquired the throne. Thereafter, when the
State ceased to exist in 1947 he moved to Amb in Una dis-
trict of H.P However, Lakshman Singh's brother,
Rajkumar Shiv Dev Singh (IAS) preferred to live in
Jammu at Ramkote house which is still located at
Panjtirthi Jammu and served in the administration of
Maharaja Hari Singh of J&K State and retired as
Chairman of the JK Public Service Commission. His elder
son Rameshwar singh IPS retired as IG in J&K while the
younger son Baldev singh Jaswal retired as IAS officer
from J&K.
OLD FORTS AND PALACES
Since, it was ruled by three Rajput clans namely
Jasrotia, Mankotia and Jasswals, there used to be three
independent palaces (Mahals). The first one built by
Manak Dev is now completely destroyed. Fortunately, for
the last ten years Mankotias from all over India have now
been organizing their Mael (Congregation) and started
building a Kuldevi temple at this place. The 2nd Palace
was huge with large open ground. This Mahal housed
High school Ramkote till 1976 but is now completely
ruined. The Third one was built by Jaswals and partially
renovated for establishing a museum by Brigadier
Jaswal. An open ground in front of it is Rajas Mandi, now
used as playground as well as to organize the famous
Dangal of Ramkote every year.
In order to house the war horses, a stable still exists
around the palace of Raja. Besides there are number of
Burjs still standing around the periphery of Ramkote. For
public welfare ,a very old Radha Krishan Temple, and a
large water reservoir (Talla) were built and still exist on
the ground in the centre of famous temples of Ramkote.
This was to supplement water needs of the villagers for
worship and drinking. As there is scarcity of water in
such areas, a popular song is famous (Lok ramkote-e dai,
soye dai tarai-dai te barsanti ra-aj la-a de)

HERITAGE CAREER COUNSELLING

When
Of Digital Semi-literates and Online Teaching
JAMMU CITY Mukhter Ahmad Farooqi
With the emergence of Covid-19 as
pandemic, life literally came to grinding
view(material), discuss and engage with
learning resources in an online setting.
Technology enabled teaching has given
digital literacy is achieving those goals
using technology in the classroom.
Cornell University defines "digital liter-
tion but right knowledge to use it proper-
ly is inevitable.
*CLOUD COMPUTING: All online

was converted into walled city halt and educational institutions across
the globe had to be shut for face to face
classroom transaction. Education has
been the emblem of contemporary cul-
tural ,social and economic conditions of
all times. These grim circumstances
which resulted from this pandemic led to
push for online education and virtual
schooling so that students could be
engaged in learning and loss of educa-
tional session may be minimized.
Technology came to our rescue in this
situation. For continuity of effective
learning process, now millions of stu-
dents are being educated through Zoom
tutorials, Google Classroom, Google
Meet, Microsoft Teams etc. like meeting
apps in synchronous (the teacher and the
new dimension to the teacher competency
has reconceptualised what it really means
to be a teacher in 21st century.
Competencies are the skills and knowl-
edge that enable a teacher to be successful.
Earlier teacher competency was measured
on the basis of instructional delivery,
classroom management, hold on content,
and ability to develop and use teaching
aids but now digital competency (soft
skills) is also part of the scale for measur-
ing effectiveness in teaching.
Traditionally, teacher was the sole owner
of the content but his role has changed to
facilitator because access to best quality
content is just a Google search away.
Moreover, digital competency helps edu-
cators to approach teaching process with
flexible pedagogy.
acy as the ability to find, evaluate, utilize,
share, and create content using informa-
tion technologies and the Internet".
Thought of writing this write-up struck my
mind when I recently attended some webi-
nars wherein participants from different
universities/colleges asked very insane
questions related to the basic soft
skills/teaching tools to experts and moder-
ators which otherwise shouldn't have been
asked by them based on the positions they
were holding in their respective institu-
tions. From that I concluded that even
though they were having expertise in their
respective fields but lacked the basic com-
petency to use various online teaching
tools so as to become effective in
online/virtual teaching.
Similarly, if educators at any level of
quizzes or e-content is online accessible
to students anywhere because of cloud
computing, so basic understanding of its
working is necessary.
*DIGITAL DATABASES:Basic
knowledge of databases like MS Excel
etc. to create database of student's infor-
mation is vital.
*DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP:
Knowledge about the rights and respon-
sibilities of digital citizens, such as:
Cyberbullying, Legality of online materi-
al., Buying stuff online, Digital
Footprints, Privacy and safety while trav-
eling the digital world.
*Create annotated, interactive and
engaging video content.
*Use blogs to create participatory
space for students.

Shiv Chander Sharma
The old part of Jammu
city is still known as
walled city but many of
the people hardly know
that who gave this look
to the city, why and when.
The walled look of the
city continued till 1947
and even afterwards after
getting the look in the
middle of the 18th century
AD. Now hardly the people
can trace any remain of
the wall that once covered
most of the Jammu city
during royal period.
However, the pedestrians who
cross the Gumat Gate adjoining Town
hall building, once the main entry
point to the walled Jammu city among
total five gates,are hardly aware that
this gate was the main entrance point
to the city. Adjacent to this gate is
another gate, the Maheshi Gate a part
of which still exists at Kanji House
while the wall has completely disap-
peared now.
When the capital of Jammu Raj
was once again shifted back to Jammu
city by Raja Maldev of Dev Dynasty in
14th century AD he built his palace at
Purani Mandi. But the main credit of
converting Jammu into walled city
goes to his descendant Raja Ranjit Dev
(1733 AD to 1782 AD). He is also
believed to have started the construc-
tion of Dogra Royal palace during his
reign which was completed by
Maharaja Gulab Singh with some
additions made by his son Ranbir
Singh and grandson Maharaja Pratap
Singh who added more parts to the
palace as per their requirements.
Earlier, Jammu city was very small
but keeping in view the Muslim and
Sikh invaders Raja Ranjit Dev felt the
strong need of keeping the city safe
from them and planned to convert the
city into walled city. Main entry gate to
the city was no doubt Gumat gate fol-
lowed by some others gates to enter
the walled city. Maheshi gate, of which
only a small part can be seen at
Vivekanand Chowk adjoining a nullah,
still reminds one to the grandeur of
the city. Part of another gate towards
main cremation ground in the city,
Jogi Gate can still be seen when one
goes down Shahidi Chowk by the side
of DPS School.
When Ranjit Dev became the ruler
of the state be was imprisoned for 12
years at Lahore by Nawab Zakariya
Khan according to Rajdarshni by
Ganesh Das Baderhra. However, ulti-
mately he was released and took the
reigns of Jammu Raj under his con-
trol. He felt the strong need of giving
protection to the capital city and first
of all the Gumat Gate was erected.
On the one side of Gumat the huge
wall was constructed along Hari Singh
High School which further went to
now DPS School side, Jogi Gate,
Gujjar Nagar near the present resi-
dence of the Chief Minister to
Mubarak Mandi Royal palace along
the side of river Tawi. From the other
side of Gumat gate the wall passed
through present Kaleeth Mohalla,
SMGS hospital to Kachi Chawni and
Ambhalla towards the Panjtirthi via
part of present Echange Road. The city
during the royal period remained con-
fined in between the wall which has
now expanded manifold with the
growing population.
However, various parts of the
mammoth wall were completed by the
successors of Raja Ranjit Dev during
their times and due to this wall the
Jammu remained protected from Sikh
invaders who were given tough fight
outside the Gumat Gate who were
finally pushed back failing in entering
Jammu city. But with the passage of
time the wall almost disappeared to
become a history and some remnants
still remind people that the city was
once walled.

Tribute to Tara Smailpuri
Rajeshwar Singh Raju
If we are proud of our mother tongue
Dogri today for its sweetness and rich
treasure on varied subjects then credit
goes to those who have contributed with
all commitment and affection for the
language. They had all the options to
opt other language for their creative
pursuits having wider access. But the
fact remains that only those mark their
presence in historical references of liter-
ature who love their mother tongue and
have the guts to make sacrifices without
caring for periodical selfish gains. One
of those prominent activists was
Taramani Sharma Smailpuri popularly
known as Tara Smailpuri in literary
arena. He belongs to that era when
Dogri was not given due respect or
recognition but persons like him made
it a pious mission and the success story
tells the inspiring results. Dogri not
only got reorganized but was later on
included in 8th schedule as well.
Tara Smailpuri was born on July 1st
'1926 at village Smailpur in District
Samba of Jammu in a large family of
Smt .Gullan Devi and Master Badrinath
Baskotra having two brothers and five
sisters. Right from his early age he was
quite witty as well as naughty by nature
who loved to crack jokes and enjoy all
naughtiness at tender age. His father
was a math teacher and his initial
schooling started in Smailpur and then
at Jammu, Samba and Mirpur
Chomukh in Pakistan nowadays.
After passing matriculation, he start-
ed working in Birla Mill at Sargodha in
Pakistan now at a salary of Rs 175 per
month. Then he shifted to a cloth Mill
for salary of Rs 500 per month. After
serving there for three years he had to
come back owing to health issues. After
recovering from illness, he joined Food
and Supply Department but did not like
job and after some days left it and start-
ed business at Amritsar. Soon he came
back to Jammu and started as
Commission Agent of Fruits and
Vegetables in partnership at Vegetable
market Jammu. But success was per-
haps not in his fate. He served as Sub
Inspector and later as Inspector in CD &
NES Department of Jammu & Kashmir.
Meantime, he completed Bachelor of
Arts and Shiromani, Hon's in Dogri. In
1967, he became Assistant Editor of
Urdu monthly_ "Dehat Sudhar' of the
Department. In 1968 he joined J & K
Academy of Art, Culture & Languages as
Research Assistant and retired as
Assistant Editor of Dogri Dictionary
project.
Smailpuri had been a courageous
child right from his childhood and
enjoyed childhood fully. Once when
Maharaja Hari Singh was on route to
Samba through Smailpur and public
had gathered there to welcome King,
Tara, then hardly six years old boy
advanced boldly to offer his wishes to
Maharaja but was blocked by soldiers of
Royal Forces. Maharaja noticed it and
was quite impressed with the courage of
Tara and awarded him two rupees silver
coin. The same valour is witnessed in
his creative literary works also.
As far as literary contributions are
concerned, while studying in 7th stan-
dard, he recited a long Dogri poem in
school function which was widely
appreciated by one and all and happens
to be his first step towards long creative
literary journey. It is said that this very
poem was as popular as Pt. Dinu Bhai
Pant's "Gutlun". With the passage of
time, Tara Smailpuri started getting
acknowledged as a versatile poet in lit-
erary meetings. Particularly, in Poetry
functions, he was well acclaimed for his
own unique style of satire writing that
captivated the audience. The literature
lovers waited anxiously for his turn as
they knew that Smailpuri had strange
magical words in store to spell bound
them. They liked this hypnotism.
He was actively involved in research
on Dogri Folklore and has remarkably
contributed in collection and publica-
tion of folk Songs, proverbs and riddles.
Within a span of 7-8 years he had col-
lected more than eleven thousand
proverbs and riddles. He was fluent in
Dogri, Urdu, Hindi, English, Punjabi,
Gujrati, Pahari, Pothowari and has col-
laborated in publication of Dogri-Hindi
and Dogri-Dogri Dictionaries which
played pivotal role in Dogri Literature.
Tara Smailpuri's first collection of
poetry came in 1956 as a part of Dogri
Sanstha's publication "Nami Chetna"'
series ' 8th edition being entitled_"
Fouji Pensioner". It was a collection of
11 poems that established him as a
promising poet. His other literary col-
lections include " Jeevan Lehran",
"Vyangya Baan" and a Ghazal
Collection_ "Tunde Chete Ich" is in
press. He has been associated in numer-
ous creative works like "Arunima",
Dogri Kahawat Kosh, Dogri Muhavra
Kosh, Dogri Lok Geet (Compilation and
Assistant Editor), Dogri-Hindi
Shabadkosh (Collection and Assistant
Editor), Dogri-Dogri Dictionary (First
three volumes as Assistant Editor) etc.
He was awarded prestigious Sahitya
Academy Award for his critically
acclaimed collection of poetry_ "Jeevan
Lehren" which is a collection of fifty five
poems that stand out for their poetic
range.
Tara Smailpuri's life had been full of
struggle. He was very witty by nature
but what he had been experiencing in
his life was never evident in his expres-
sions. Cracking jokes and writing satires
may foretell his creative literary pur-
suits for which he was so natural and
comfortable but destiny was never so
kind to him. He did shift many jobs in
search of suitable one and ended up
with at Cultural Academy. He lost his
younger daughter Satya at a very young
age. Within a year, he suffered another
blow when he lost his wife Lajwanti,
who happened to be his first listener
and critic too. He had not recovered
from early two fatal blows that he lost
his elder daughter Sharda also. He was
broken from within but his inner con-
flict with ill fate never crept to his face.
It was hard to judge the impact he had
suffered what as he was still so much
involved in contributing towards moth-
er tongue Dogri in the form of his
unique satire laden poetry and essays.
After retirement, he passed maxi-
mum of his time in the parks reciting
amusing poems to kids, telling them
stories, riddles and doing mimicry thus
increasing reach of mother tongue
Dogri to maximum. Perhaps, he wished
to see every face smiling that gave him
inner satisfaction despite the fact that
he had held his own tears within eyes
and never showed emotional weakness
for years.
On 18th October 2011, Tara
Smailpuri left this world for heavenly
abode .His demise was mourned by the
literature lovers as a Big Star having
vanished from the Sky of Dogri
Literature.

Safety Jammu Heat amid Pandemic

Dr Farooq Ahmad Peer

of
Jammu - a land of brutal sum-
mers where the summer steps on
to the fore front with its first visu-
als in the month of March slowly

Seatbelts
Dr Rajive Gupta
Wearing a seat belt while driving a car is mandatory
and if someone is caught violating the rule, traffic
police can fine him to the tune of Rs. 1000 according to
the recent traffic laws. Definitely, there are benefits of
wearing seat belts while driving car with high speed in
the outskirts of the city on national highways as they
reduce risks of serious injuries and death as a result of
accidents. In order to keep you safe, seat belts also need
to be worn properly. When improperly used, they may
do more harm than good. The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that as many
as 3 million people each year are injured when seat
belts fail and upto 40,000 people die from this prevent-
able measure.
SEAT BELT INJURIES
Seat belts are made to keep you in your seat so that you
don’t get ejected during a car accident. As a result, the
rigid strength of the belt restraining you in the car may
cause injuries of its own. When you make a sudden stop,
the speed from the car causes you to hit the seat belt with
a significant force which can leave you with bruises,
scrapes and fractures.
Seat belt syndrome is a collective term that includes
all the injuries associated with the use of seat belts and
is defined classically as a seat belt sign or seat belt
marks on the body plus more serious intra-abdominal
organ injury such as intestine perforations and/or tho-
raco-lumbar vertebral fractures. In other words, seat
belt syndrome refers to the musculoskeletal and viscer-
al injuries associated with the force transmitted by the
seat belt during a collision or accident leading to skin
abrasions and bruising on the surface and serious inter-
nal injuries to bowel and mesentery along with fractures
of the lumber spine. While wearing a seat belt can save
your life, there is no guarantee that you will be com-
pletely free of getting injuries because of seat belt itself
after an automobile collision. So, the vital question is
how safe is the wearing of seat belts while car driving
especially within the city?
MOST COMMON SEAT BELT INJURIES
RIBS: The most notable seat belt injuries one can have
are bruised or fractured ribs. The restraining force of the
worn seat belt may have enough power to fracture ribs and
may cause a significant amount of pain for months. Treat
fractured ribs as soon as possible because the dislocated
bone could puncture or interfere with lungs or heart.
CHEST AND STERNUM
Sternum is the bone in the middle of the chest that
attaches with the ribs. The force from sudden stop can also
affect chest and sternum region as it is a direct point of
impact with the seat belt. The danger of this injury lies
with the fact that sternum lies near heart and lungs and so
any injury that affects the sternum can also affect vital
organs in that area and can prove fatal if not detected and
not treated in time.
SHOULDER
Seat belt can also cause injuries to the soft tissue in the
shoulder. The force from accident can tear the tendons
and muscle fibers in the shoulder which can lead to severe
pain and discomfort.
ABRASIONS AND LACERATIONS
The roughness of the safety belt and the clothing can
rub against skin of the driver and give painful scrapes and
cuts and may leave an imprint of the seat belt on the body
as the pressure is distributed all over the belt and affects
the entire area it touches.
ABDOMINAL ORGANS
In a car accident, the body may be restrained with a
seat belt, but the abdominal organs may shift forward
causing them to bounce around inside the body result-
ing in internal bleeding within the abdominal cavity.
The mechanism of injury is thought to be compression
of the abdominal wall and viscera between the seat
belt and the spine, leading to a sudden increase in
intra-luminal pressure and shearing and deceleration
forces against the mesentery and peritoneal attach-
ments. A positive seat belt sign in combination with
abdominal pain or tenderness, results in a higher like-
lihood of intra abdominal injuries in particular bowel
and mesenteric injuries which can prove fatal if not
diagnosed and managed in time by the surgical inter-
vention.
Miscarriage in pregnancy: If a pregnant woman suffers
trauma to her abdomen due to a seat belt in an automobile
accident, the placenta may separate from the uterus and
this may cause the loss of her pregnancy or miscarriage.
Being a surgeon I have encountered some cases of car acci-
dents leading to serious injuries as a result of seat belt
itself and during my surgical career, I have also operated
victims of intra- abdominal visceral injuries as a result of
seat belt to save their lives. In the light of these genuine
facts associated with seat belts, there are some vital ques-
tions to be answered by the authorities:
1. How safe is the wearing of seat belts while car driv-
ing especially within the city?
2. Why should traffic police bother the car drivers for
not wearing the seat belts and fine them for this act of
omission?
3. Doesn’t this rule of wearing seat belts while driving
car within the city need to be amended by the concerned
authorities?

A Dream Indian Cricket Team
Sunil Fernandes
The advent of limited-over cricket from the 1970s has
irrevocably changed the way the game is played. With all
fixtures locked down, one cricket fan lets his mind wander
to what might have been.
Vasant Raji, India’s oldest first-class cricketer, passed away recently. He was
100 years old. His passing, perhaps, is a time for cricket to remember and cele-
brate some of the other great stalwarts of Indian test cricket too – especially
when the coronavirus pandemic has meant no sporting events can take place.
India played its ever first ever test match at the historic Lords Cricket Ground
in 1932 against England. Forty-two years later, in 1974, India played its first
ever limited-over international, also in England.
Unarguably, the advent of limited-over cricket, from the 1970s, has irrevoca-
bly changed the way the game is played. We have come across several compila-
tions of All Time Best India XI but hardly any All Time Indian XI consisting of
those cricketers, whose cricket wasn’t affected or influenced by the one-day game
at all, those who played test matches only. The legends of a forgotten era. Here
is that XI.
THE OPENERS
Mulvantrai Himmatlal “Vinoo” Mankad
Along with Pankaj Roy, this right-hand batsman scored 413 runs, the then
highest ever partnership by an opening pair. A record that stood for 52 years till it
was broken, barely so, by South Africans Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie
against Bangladesh in 2008, who made 415 runs. Mankad scored 231 runs in that
partnership, which was the highest Indian individual test score, till Gavaskar
broke it in 1983 (236 against West Indies).
Such were his bowling skills, he would have merited a place in this XI solely as
a left-arm spinner. He took eight wickets and scored a double century in an innings
during the course of his test career, a feat that great all-rounders like Sobers, Kapil,
Imran and Kallis haven’t achieved. He ran out the Australian batsman Billy
Brown, when the latter had strayed too far from his crease, thereby coining the
memorable mode of dismissal – “Mankaded”.
Vijay Merchant
The spiritual founder of the “Bombay School” of batting aka the “khadoos”
style. Steely determination, unwavering concentration, terrific temperament.
Technically, the best India had in the pre-Gavaskar era. Has the highest first class
average (71.64) after Don Bradman.
MIDDLE ORDER
Lala Amarnath Bharadwaj (Captain)
He was independent India’s first-ever test captain, and also its first-ever test
centurion. This Lahore-born stylish batsman was one of the select few who was
equally loved on both sides of the Radcliffe Line. He was never afraid to take on
the high and mighty for his team’s sake and for this reason, coupled with his astute
cricketing brain, his uncanny ability to read cricket pitches and opposite players,
he is my choice for the captain of this team. His son Mohinder played a stellar role
in India’s 1983 ODI World Cup win.
Pahlan Ratanji “Polly” Umrigar
‘Polly Kaka’ scored the first ever double century by an Indian batsman (against
New Zealand, in 1955). His free-flowing batting style was a treat to watch. One
could safely bet, that had Polly Kaka played his cricket a decade later, he would
have been a terrific ODI player too.
C.K. “Colonel” Nayudu
He was Indian cricket team’s original “Colonel” (a moniker that Dilip
Vengsarkar rightfully inherited a few decades later). India’s first-ever captain in
the debut test at Lord’s 1932, he is, in my view, one of the bravest batsman ever to
don the India cap.
Batting in a first class match, while he in his 40s and understandably past his
prime, Nayudu’s tooth was broken by a vicious bouncer from Dattu Phadkar, one
of the fastest bowlers in India at that time. He shooed away the concerned fielders,
picked his blood splattered tooth from the cricket pitch, kept it in his pocket, and
calmly faced Phadkar again, smashing him and other bowlers for a fearless half
century.

“Very perception of wedding will change”
Author Amita Sahaya was present at An Author's Afternoon session presented
by Shree Cement Ltd and organised by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation in June
through Zoom. Sahaya, whose present book 'The Shaadi Story' examines the
Indian wedding through a socio-economic and gendered prism, during an
interaction with author Kiran Manral, spoke how marriage has been an integral
part of a woman's life and how it is changing. Souvik Ghosh brings excerpts.
You have mentioned in the very start of the book an incident
about your own family which you have witnessed. Can you tell us a
bit more about the incident and what drove you perhaps to write
this book?
As a small child, I was actually attending my aunt's
wedding in a small town in the northern part of India.
In the evening, the bride and groom were going
around the fire (marriage rituals), a banquet was laid
out, a mellifluous sound of the shehnai was played out,
and the fragrance of flowers were coming. And sud-
denly there was an absolute discordant sound coming
as if somebody was shouting. People turned around to
look at where the sound was coming from. Then (all
found) there was a man who was extremely affronted.
Well he had been slighted (because) he hadn't got his
due as an exalted member of the bride-groom's party. He felt that he had been
insulted and therefore he had taken his plate and thrown it on the floor and
was threatening to walk out of the wedding. And because he was in some
important hierarchical order of the bride-groom's party, the others sort of
looked at him and asked him if they might have to accompany him.
Then came my grandfather, who was my aunt's father, and he took off his
turban- the mark of the tradition honour and family prestige- and placed it on
the man's feet. The man takes it as his due, he is placated and sort of mollified.
What struck me even at that very young age was the larger acceptance of the
two roles being played out. The groom's side was kind of reiterating their role
in the power structure and the bride's side was accepting their subordinate
role. So that in fact really stayed with me, some visceral part of it which also
in a way honed my gender lens in later years and it was reflected in the works
that I have done.
In prehistoric days, men and women were on equal footing but
as we headed towards the present time, marriage became an
important aspect in a woman's life across all cultures and geogra-
phies. Why?
I think there are cultural presets behind it. In many ways, the householders'
role as the grihasta is of huge primacy both for men and women and yet contra-
dictory. I always say India or Hinduism is the "Queen" of contradictions because
on one hand grihasta's role is considered so supreme for continuing with proge-
ny and paying obeisance to the ancestors by carrying on the lineage but at the
same time 'Brahmacharya' is considered of supreme importance and given a
huge respect.
In a way I think there is just a misogynist, patriarchal point of view where
a woman's role is considered incomplete until she gets into one major set aim
of her life which is to bear progeny. I think the patriarchal point of view in a
way has contained women into narrower spaces. We have seen in all cultures
and scriptures that women's role is to support the man. Today I think we are
in a great position where we can actually question that.
Do you think people are changing the rituals in marriages to
solemnise?
I think there is a huge shift happening even though it is not always obvious
or apparent because we get bedazzled by all the outer equipments which are
meant to project the celebration of a wedding. People notice the scale of a mar-
riage going up. But in the crux, I find that happening in a very different way
from what it was earlier. Some things remain the same while others are chang-
ing. I have personally written a lot about 'kanyadan' (a ritual of handing over
the bride to the groom's family) but I come across parents who are fundamen-
tally against the idea of handing over their daughters and yet many due to lack
of knowledge of the rituals, think marriage would be incomplete without
