How inequality is worsened

by women working for free
Worldwide, fewer people are now living in poverty than in the decades before. But success against poverty has had little
impact against inequality, which has just got worse everywhere. In India, the top 1% of the wealthy, roughly 13 million people,
hold 42.5% of the national wealth as against 2.8% held by the bottom 50%, or about 650 million of the poorest citizens, Oxfam
said in a report released ahead of the World Economic Forum meet in Davos, Switzerland. It also added that the world’s richest
1% have more than twice the wealth of the rest of humanity combined. In India and elsewhere, the brunt of this inequality is
borne by women, who have to battle the double disadvantage of socio-economic deprivation and discriminatory norms

DTC misses bus, but metro keeps transport going
While Target Of Adding 5,000 To Fleet Not Met, Voters Happy With Free Rides For Women & Promises To Students And Seniors
Sidhartha.Roy@timesgroup.com
New Delhi: At the bus shelter
adjacent to Pearey Lal Bha-
wan on Bahadur Shah Zafar
Marg, Sanjay Kumar, an offi-
ce assistant in a private firm,
strains his eyes to read the ro-
ute number on the approa-
ching Delhi Transport Corpo-
ration bus. He sighs as he no-
tices that it is not running on
route 502, which would have
taken him home to Mehrauli.
Kumar settles back on the ste-
el seat, rubbing his hands for
warmth on the chilly Janua-
ry evening. “The bus might
come 10 minutes or in 50 mi-
nutes, there is no way of kno-
wing,” he shrugs.
“I prefer travelling by bu-
ses because the stops are clo-
se to my home and office, but
their frequency has been
worsening each year,” Ku-
mar said. “I do travel by Delhi
Metro, but only in a hurry. My
bus fare is Rs 15, while I have
to shell out Rs 36 for the met-
ro, something I can’t afford
on regular basis.”
While Delhi Metro ferries
approximately 30 lakh pas-
sengers a day, the combined
DTC and Cluster scheme
buses carry 42 lakh. Many,
like Kumar, opt for bus travel,
but the dwindling fleet
strength is affecting their
commute time. While Delhi
needs around 11,000 buses, it
has 5,789 on the ground.

New Delhi: Chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal must have be-

that turned out on Monday to
see him go to Jamnagar House
to file his nomination papers
as a contestant in the assembly
poll from the New Delhi consti-

the streets meant his roads-
how could not make it to the re-

that he had offered prayers in
2013 and 2015 before filing his
nomination. Accompanied by
senior AAP functionaries Ma-

were escorted by a fleet of ve-

TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi/Patiala: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will not
contest the Delhi assembly polls this time after its seat
-sharing negotiations with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fa-
iled on Monday.
The seat-sharing talks between SAD and BJP started
showing signs of collapsing on Monday evening, according
to sources, after BJP insisted on Akali candidates contes-
ting the poll on the ‘lotus’ symbol. It also wanted SAD to ac-
commodate an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) turncoat on one of
the four seats that it wanted to contest.
Akali leaders Balwant Singh Bhunder (Rajya Sabha
member) and Prem Singh Chandumajra (former MP) were
negotiating with BJP’s Prakash Javadekar, Shyam Jaju and
Tarun Chugh on seat-sharing for the past three days.

Akalis supported

and have justified its need, but want Muslims to be brought
under its purview. BJP, however, has rejected the demand sa-
ying the bill was specifically aimed at fast-tracking citizens-
hip for members of religious minorities from neighbouring
fled to India before 2014 due to religious persecution.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said every party has its
own point of view and he respects the stand taken by the
Sikh party. “But our alliance with SAD is still on. It has alwa-
ys supported us in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and they also
have a minister in the Union cabinet,” Tiwari said.
Initially, there were strong indications that SAD would
contest the Delhi assembly polls on its own. After it became
clear that talks were not moving forward, Bhunder said BJP
wanted SAD leaders to contest the election on BJP symbol
and the idea did not go down well with the party leadership.
He said the party had asked its candidates to file their papers
and would contest polls on its own.
However, after BJP announced its alliance with JD-U
(three seats) and LJP (one seat) while skipping SAD, Sirsa con-
vened a press conference and announced that the party had de-
cided not to contest at all. The SAD election committee, com-
prising Rajya Sabha MPs Naresh Gujral and Bhunder along
with Chandumajra had finalised names of four Akali candida-
tes for Rajouri Garden, Hari Nagar, Shahdara and Kalkaji se-
ats — the same seats that Akalis had contested in the 2015 Delhi
assembly elections. Other seats in Delhi that have a sizeable
Sikh population are Tilak Nagar, Janakpuri, Adarsh Nagar,
Krishna Nagar, Vishwas Nagar, Timarpur and Jangpura.
BJP sources, however, said SAD’s decision to not contest
the election at all would not augur well for the saffron
party. “The Sikhs in Delhi have always been pro-establish-
ment. The presence of SAD used to divide their votes in
other constituencies which have Sikh votes. We saw the
Sikhs gravitating towards AAP in the last two elections.
With SAD not in the contest now, the Sikh vote may totally go
in AAP’s favour,” said a senior BJP leader.

were denied a ticket by BJP.
Gautam will contest the
February 8 elections from the
reserved constituency of Ko-

from Congress and joining
BJP. Sharma, who had joined
BJP after being expelled
from Congress in April 2019,
and he regretted it. “BJP talks

This is where I belong,” he said.
His resignation from BJP
comes days after another Da-
lit leader, former Mangolpuri
MLA Raj Chauhan, also re-
turned to Congress. He, howe-
ver, is not contesting the polls.

“Each site has 3-10 polling bo-

polling team, including 2-3 polling

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi: The arterial ro-

ads in central Delhi were
choked on Monday afterno-
on owing to back-to-back
roadshows, rallies and pro-
test marches.
While southeast Delhi is
already under siege due
to the closure of Kalindi
Kunj road, traffic being di-
verted through Noida Link
Road and DND Flyway was
also stalled during peak
hours. The worst impacted
was Vikas Marg between
11am and 1pm.
The snarls started aro-
und 1pm when supporters of
Aam Aadmi Party gathered
at Mandi House and
Connaught Place Outer
Circle for a protest march
and a roadshow. Police shut
one carriageway of Sikand-
ra Road and a portion of Ou-
ter Circle from Minto Road
for the rallies.
As a result, traffic jams
started building up on Si-

Minto Road. The ripple effect
of the jam reached ITO wit-
hin an hour. Soon, police shut
Outer Ring Road and Baha-
dur Shah Zafar Marg for VIP
movement from Talkatora
Stadium to the BJP office on
DDU Marg.
Since ITO crossing had to
be closed for 15 minutes for
the VIPs to pass, the snarl re-
ached Vikas Marg and Noida
Link Road even as police tri-
ed to clear the vehicles accu-
mulated on the stretch. “I
was stuck on Vikas Marg for
nearly 40 minutes around
3pm before I could reach ITO
for work,” said Devika Bhal-
la, a resident of Noida.
Commuters tweeted abo-
ut the snarls tagging the traf-
fic police. Police said they
had to control the traffic sig-
nals manually.
A senior police officer
said that the increase in volu-
me of traffic from Noida
added to the mess. According
to an estimate, there has
been a 20% increase in the
number of vehicles that
earlier used the south Delhi
stretches to enter the city
from Noida. As a result, near-
ly 40,000 vehicles are added
to the existing volume at
ITO, which is the busiest in-
tersection in the city.
With the Kalindi Kunj ro-
ad closed, motorists take Noi-
da Link Road during peak
hours to reach central and
south Delhi to avoid the
snarls on DND Flyway and
Barapullah road.
Construction activities at
crucial intersections like
Ashram and Bhairon Marg
add to the chaos.

de by Hassan’s father, Fak-
ruddin, were a favourite
among UP criminals, he ad-
ded. Hassan’s mother, who is
also involved in the busi-
ness, was recently released
on bail. The module was in-
volved in trafficking illegal
firearms to the entire natio-
nal capital region.
A team led by additional
DCP Nishant Gupta and in-
spectors Vivekanand and Kul-

arrested and pistols were seized
pur in outer Delhi following a
tipoff and arrested Munna
with 10 pistols when he came
to deliver the consignment to a
contact. During spot interro-
gation, Munna disclosed that
he procured arms from Fak-
ruddin and Hasan.
Their house at Humayun
Nagar in Meerut was raided
and the factory was busted.
“Fifty pistols along with raw
materials — springs, bar-
rels, magazines etc — and
machineries such as lathe
were found there,” DCP Ya-
dav added.
Munna, also wanted in a
case of murder during a rob-
bery in Sonipat, said he had
been in the trade for five years
and supplied around 500 pis-
tols in different states. Last ye-
ar, police had raided an arms
factory in the same area.
Kuldeep Srivastava, IMD regio-
nal forecasting centre chief.
There was heavy fog at Pa-
lam in the morning hours, and
the visibility was down to
100m at 4am.
“Even in the evening ho-
urs, the visibility at Safdar-
jung was down to 600m while
at Palam it was 1,000m. On Tu-
esday, partly cloudy sky is ex-
pected with dense fog in the
morning. There is also a possi-
bility of very light rain or
drizzle towards the afternoon
or evening. The maximum
and minimum temperatures
would be around 17 and 9 deg-
rees Celsius, respectively,”
Srivastava added.
In terms of air quality, the
AQI clocked 269 on Monday, al-
most similar to Sunday’s 277.
An AQI between 201 and 300 is
classified as “poor” on the
Central Pollution Control Bo-
ard’s index.
kill self at metro stn killing sales exec in Rohini
New Delhi: A young civil ser-
vices aspirant, who had failed
UPSC preliminary examina-
tion last year, allegedly at-
tempted suicide on Monday
by jumping in front of a mo-
ving train at a Delhi Metro sta-
tion, police said.
The incident took place at
Karol Bagh metro station lea-
ding to brief delay in services
on a section of the Blue Line.
“A UPSC aspirant (23) at-
tempted to commit suicide by
jumping before a metro train
at Karol Bagh station. The tra-
in operator applied the brakes
on seeing the person on the
tracks, so he was saved,” a se-
nior police officer said. He re-
ceived minor injuries and was
sent to DDU Hospital for treat-
ment and discharged. He was
also counselled by a doctor,
police said.
“He is a B.Tech and is pre-
paring for civil services ex-
ams through a coaching cent-
re. He was depressed as he fai-
led in the prelims of civil ser-
vices exam of 2019. His father
is a teacher in Telangana and
mother a housewife. He has
two brothers. His father has
been informed about the inci-
dent,” the police officer said.
Services were briefly af-
fected on the Yamuna Bank
and Dwarka section of the bu-

TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Delhi Police has
arrested three persons for rob-
bing and killing the sales ma-
nager of a paint company near
his residence in Rohini. The
accused men had in a similar
manner also killed another
man after robbing his wallet.
TOI had on Saturday repor-
ted about the murder of the sa-
les manager, Anil Kumar Du-
han, who was found dead with a
gunshot wound near his house
on January 6. Duhan’s family
members had also made a Face-
book page asking help from peo-
ple to identify the killers after
police failed to get a breakthro-
ugh in the initial week.
“The accused have been
identified as Ganga Ram, Ra-
kesh and Raj Kishan. A co-
untrymade pistol, live car-
tridge and an empty cartrid-
ge were seized. During inves-
tigation, police were
informed about a similar in-
cident using the same modus
operandi reported from Be-
gumpur,” said Gaurav Shar-
ma, DCP (outer-north).
On January 6, Duhan was
found lying near Baghban
Apartments in Rohini, blee-
ding form his head. He was
taken to a hospital where he
was declared brought dead.
During the course of inves-
tigation, five teams were cons-
tituted to gather information
about the accused. Police were
informed about another mur-
der using the same modus ope-
randi in Begumpur just two da-
ys before Duhan’s murder.
Aashu, a 19-year old, was found
dead with a gunshot wound
and his mobile was stolen.
Both the crime spots were
found to be within the range o
f a kilometre. “In both the
cases, mobile phones of the
deceased were robbed and
both were shot in the head,”
added Sharma.

nuary 3 and 4.
The reply to the RTI filed
under the “life and liberty”
clause by activist Saurav Das
mentioned that 17 optical fi-
bres were damaged on Janua-
ry 4 at 1pm, but, contrary to the
JNU administration’s claims,
it stated that the server room
was shut on January 3.
“There is no mention of any
damage on January 3, the day
on which the administration
claims that masked vandals en-
tered and destroyed the ser-
vers, thereby stopping the regi-
stration process,” Das said. The
RTI mentions that “register
entries could not be done due to
the crisis situation for resu-
ming ICT services” and “the
premises was under full control
of security branch”.
The RTI also revealed that
the university didn’t have any
continuous footage of the four
and are questioning the
man’s wife who is suspected
to be involved in the crime.
Police said that the body
of Satya Narayan (31) was
found on Sunday evening. A
missing complaint was lod-
ged at Shalimar Bagh police
station on the statement of
his wife. However, when the
cops asked her about when
she met her husband for the
last time, she could not give
them a satisfactory answer.
The cops have recovered
CCTV footage indicating
Narayan had met the three
people at his house before
going out with them. TNN

With changing times, manage-

University, Pune, says. He adds,
"Better managed domestic insti-
tutes are repositioning their cur-
riculum to equip students with re-
quired skill-sets to address rapid
and disruptive changes in business
environments, the world over. Man-
agement institutes, willing to re-ori-
ent to the highly competitive and
fast-changing business environment
will be able to prepare their stu-
dents to be future business leaders
having the necessary aptitude and
attitude. The management insti-
tutes, which are closer to or co-lo-
cated with industrial and technolog-
ical areas have a distinct advan-
tage. Talent can be easily identified
by recruiters here and these insti-
tutes can respond quickly. Prompt
and well-equipped Indian institutes
will pose a challenge to any Ivy
League B schools across the world."
Management itself is multidisci-
plinary in nature. Today's managers
are expected to keep pace with de-

sitions in an organisation, one has
to have knowledge of various spe-
cialisations," he adds.
B-schools are also incorporate
communication in their syllabus.
Communication skills needs to be
stressed upon in business commu-
nication, feels Dr Muktaja Mathkari,
literature scholar and principal,
SNDT College of Home Science,
Pune. "Communication comprises a
whole skill-set of language, presen-
tation, verbal and non-verbal com-
munication as well as body lan-
guage. In business scenario, com-
munication needs to be crystal
clear because saying what you
mean matters the most. Again, as
an efficient manager, one needs to
communicate with customers and
requires an understanding of their
requirements. Body language and
presentation convey that person's
sensitivity and commitment. As a
management student, possessing
skills is not enough but communica-
tion is a medium that can display
the best in you. Therefore, commu-
nication skills should be an integral
part of the management curricu-
lum,"Mathkari adds.
With employers looking for emo-
tional quotient and team spirit, an
internship with a social organisa-
tion can also be an added advan-
tage on the bio-data of management
students.

NRI bizman linked to Vadra arrested
Thampi ‘Managed’ Sonia Damaad’s
Alleged Front Entities In Dubai
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: C C Thampi, a Du-
bai-based NRI businessman,
has been arrested by the Enfor-
cement Directorate during the
weekend in connection with a
money laundering case again-
st Congress chief Sonia Gand-
hi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra.
The arrest of Thampi
marks an important turn in
the case against Vadra who has
been questioned 13 times by ED
in the past two years about the
benami properties he alleged-
ly owns in Dubai, London, and
some other foreign countries.
Thampi, who had been in-
terrogated by ED earlier, was
arrested after he allegedly av-
oided ED’s questions on finan-
cial transactions allegedly ro-
uted through Cyprus. Agency
sources suspect that the trans-
actions in question had been
conducted on Vadra’s behalf.
Thampi, who told ED he
was introduced to Vadra by So-
nia Gandhi’s personal assista-
nt P P Madhavan, was alleged-
ly managing Vadra’s alleged
front entities in Dubai, inclu-
ding Skylight Hospitality FZE
and Skylight Investment FZE
that later purchased London
properties and a villa in Dubai.
After investigative agenci-
es started probing Vadra’s con-
nections with Thampi, the lat-
ter transferred his 100% share-
holding in Skylight Invest-
ment FZE, which consists of 1
share of Dirham 1,50,000, to son
of his stepsister, Vadakkethala
Cheru Geever. The nephew has
since, through this shell com-
pany, become the owner of the
London flat at 12 Ellorton Hou-
se, Bryanston Square which is
worth Rs 26 crore and the Dub-
ai villa (E-74, Jumeirah) worth
over Rs 14 crore. ED sources
claim that during his earlier
interrogation, Thampi had sa-
id that Vadra stayed at the Lon-
don flat at 12 Bryanston Squa-

dent’s son-in-law was questio-
ned last February related to
these transactions and his as-

Thampi is facing other ca-

purchase of agricultural land
in Delhi-NCR and Kerala. In
2017, he was summoned by the
ED for acquiring about 900
acres of land for Rs 288 crore in
violation of Fema rules. Three
of his firms involved in the ca-
se include Holiday City Centre

Pvt Ltd and Holiday Bekal Re-

in Palwal, NCR and Gautam

above mentioned firms, which
he otherwise would not have
been able to purchase, being an
NRI,” a senior ED official said.

New Delhi: The Supreme
Court on Monday stayed a Del-
hi high court ruling that par-
ents-in-law could not evict an
estranged daughter-in-law
who was fighting a domestic
violence case against them
and their son from their house
without providing an alterna-
tive accommodation.
The high court on Decem-
ber 18 last year had set aside
six eviction decrees of trial
courts against similarly
placed women and said the
women had a right to resi-
dence till their matrimonial
ties subsisted. The HC had al-
so said a trial court could not
leave a woman without a roof
over her head when she was
fighting a case under the Pro-
tection of Women from Do-
mestic Violence Act, 2005.

New Delhi: The Supreme
Court on Monday sought re-
sponses from the Union gov-
ernment and the Election
Commission within two
weeks on an application
seeking an interim stay on
fresh window for donations
to political parties through
electoral bonds.
Appearing for NGO ‘Asso-

low illegal and illicit money
to be donated to BJP. This is
being done ignoring objec-
tions from the RBI and Elec-
tion Commission. It must be
stayed. The new facts which
have emerged are very
alarming,” Bhushan said.
Appearing for the EC, se-
nior advocate Rakesh Dwive-
di said the Delhi assembly
polls were keeping the poll
body busy and it would re-
quire four weeks to respond
to the application, which
raised the same issues that
were argued earlier when the
court had refused to stay it.
Bhushan said, “Now, facts
have come out that illegal and
illicit money is flowing into
political parties.” He added
he was sure that the window
for donations through electo-
ral bonds would be opened be-
fore the February polls for
Delhi assembly to benefit cer-
tain parties. The bench said
that it would keep the matter
for hearing after two weeks,
much before polling for
Delhi assembly.
New Delhi: The SC on Mon-
day agreed to hear a plea chal-
lenging the amendments
made in the National Investi-
gation Agency (Amendment)
Act, 2019, on the ground that it
gives “unfettered discretion-
ary powers” to the Centre.
A bench of Justices R F Na-
riman and S Ravindra Bhat is-
sued notice to the Centre and
sought its reply within four
weeks. The plea filed ‘Solidar-
ity Youth Movement’ said the
new amendment has diluted
the nature of the Act, which
was enacted to prosecute of-
fences affecting national secu-
rity, by incorporating legisla-
tions unrelated to terrorism.
The petition filed through
advocate Jaimon Andrews, al-
leges that the Act “unconstitu-
tionally” concentrates investi-
gative and prosecutorial activ-
ities which would otherwise

the NGO, which has challenged Allahabad HC’s February 26, 2019,
order dismissing its PIL against renaming the city. The petitioner
said the Yogi government ignored settled norms for changing the

The bench stayed the HC
order and issued notice to the
respondent daughter-in-law.
The counsel said the HC judg-
ment had created confusion in
the legal field already occu-
pied by the apex court’s 2007
judgment in S R Batra case,
where it had ruled that prop-
erty of in-laws did not tanta-
mount to a shared household.
Citing the SC judgment,
Jauhar said obligation to
maintain a daughter-in-law
arose only when her husband
had died and, as such, she
could put a claim on proper-
ties falling in the share of her
deceased husband. “For the
daughter-in-law to invoke a
right on the in-laws property,
the son (her husband) must
have a share in that property,”
he said and termed the high
court judgment as against the
settled principles of law
which protected peaceful en-
joyment of one’s property.
matrimonial dispute, the Su-
preme Court on Monday said the
parent denied custody of the child
should have the right to talk to him
or her for 5-10 minutes every day.
A bench of Justices Deepak
Gupta and Aniruddha Bose said
most courts while granting custo-
dy to one spouse do not pass any
orders granting visitation rights
to the other spouse.
“A child, especially a child of
tender years requires love, affec-
tion, protection of both parents...
Just because the parents are at
war with each other, does not
mean that the child should be de-
nied the care, affection, love or
protection of any one of the two
parents...,” the bench said.
The SC, while adjudicating the
custody battle of a US-based NRI
couple, said even if custody is giv-
en to one parent, the other parent
must have sufficient visitation
and contact rights. The court said
it is only in extreme circumstanc-

ter becoming the first state to
pass an assembly resolution
demanding the repeal of the
amended citizenship law,
Kerala has decided not to up-
date the National Population
Register (NPR) by citing
“public apprehensions”
about the exercise and a po-
tential threat to law and or-
der if it goes ahead with it.
A statement issued by the
cabinet said the state would
formally inform the office of
the registrar general and cen-
sus commissioner, which
functions under the Union
home ministry, about the de-
cision. “The decision has
been taken to clear public ap-
prehensions and to maintain
law and order in the state.
The state government has the
constitutional responsibility
to ensure these two,” it said.
It clarified that not imple-
menting the NPR didn’t
mean it would also suspend
the census operation. “We
will only inform the census
directorate that certain
Kerala has seen huge protests — like this one on January 1 in Kochi by
various Muslim groups — against CAA
questions that go with the
census will not be asked here.
The state government will
ask enumerators to exclude
two questions — date of birth
of respondents and details of
their parents — from the cen-
sus questionnaire,” AC Moi-
deen, the minister for local
self-government, said.
The government, which
has already moved the Su-
preme Court against CAA,
sees NPR as the prelude to a
nationwide exercise to up-
date the National Register of
Citizens. “People fear the
aim of creating such a regis-
ter. Already, the states where
this has been implemented
are witnessing severe law-
and-order issues,” it said.
Sources said the police
had warned that the imple-
mentation of NPR or NRC
would endanger law and or-
der in the state. District col-
lectors are also said to have re-
ported to the government that
the census operation would
be affected if the NPR were to
be updated alongside it.
Kolkata/Siliguri: Ramping
up the rhetoric against the
new citizenship law and the
BJP government at the Cen-
tre, West Bengal chief minis-
ter Mamata Banerjee said in
Kolkata on Monday that the
state assembly would pass a
resolution against the Citi-
zenship (Amendment) Act.
She also appealed to all
north-eastern and opposi-
tion parties to “study” the Na-
tional Population Register
(NPR) directives before im-
plementing them; she point-
ed out some “contentious co-
lumns” introduced in the
NPR form “to pave the way
for a countrywide National
Register of Citizens (NRC)”.
“We will pass a resolution
against CAA. There can be
an all-opposition party meet
in Kolkata. The Centre
should remove all clauses in
NPR that support NRC,” Ma-
mata said. “I appeal to all
state governments in the
northeast, including Tripu-
on NPR. It is a dangerous
game and totally related to
NRC and CAA. Pass a resolu-
tion everywhere to withdraw
CAA,” the Bengal CM urged
in Kolkata before leaving for
Siliguri in north Bengal.
The CM iterated her NPR
apprehensions during the in-
auguration of the Uttarban-
ga Utsav in Siliguri. “The
NPR authorities have intro-
duced a column in the form,
where people have to men-
tion parents’ dates and plac-
es of birth. But where do I get
my parents’ birth certifi-
cates from?” she asked.
“The NPR form is just like
a mark sheet. One has to fill in
each and every column of the
form just like one has to pass
subjects mentioned in a mark
sheet. So, if you leave a co-
lumn empty in the NPR form,
it may be deemed incom-
plete,” Banerjee said, explain-
ing her fears. But she also reas-
sured the public: “Don’t wor-
ry. We are your watchdog.”
K
asaragod district pan-
chayat member Ali Har-

his estimate, around 1,800 peo-
ple in Kasaragod district have
got notices so far. Vorkady, who
has taken up the issue with the
authorities here, said: “They

swering questions on par-

was voluntary, and respon-

or did not remember the said
details could leave the fields
blank. It was also explained
that details of parents’ birth
were recorded during the
earlier NPR exercises as
well. However, the drawback
in the earlier methodology
was that the names of par-

Later, a group of women

paper use by 50%
Bharti.Jain@timesgroup.com
New Delhi: While Census
2021 will be the first such de-
cennial exercise to digitally
capture population data via
a mobile application on the
enumerator’s phone, the pa-
per option has been retained
to factor in scenarios like
the enumerator not having a
smartphone, lack of inter-
net connectivity and even
battery issues during field
visits. Yet, the use of paper
in the latest census is ex-
pected to be cut by 50%, as
per home ministry officials.
The extensive leverag-
ing of technology is expect-
ed to improve quality of data
collection and also facilitate
early release of census data.
Given that 90% of infor-
mation was captured on mo-
bile phones during the pre-
test last year, census author-
ities are hopeful that at least
70% enumerators will opt to
work with smartphones dur-
ing the actual exercise. A
higher honorarium is being
offered as an incentive for
enumerators capturing data
on their mobiles.
As per sources, while
enumerators using paper to
record data for houselist-
ing/enumeration phases of
census 2021 and NPR are be-
ing offered Rs 17,500, those
using mobile phones will get
a higher honorarium of Rs
18,750. Census authorities
have decided to issue only
one schedule per household
for the houselisting phase
from April to September
2020, as against two sched-
ules issued in earlier census.
“This will cut usage of paper
by 50%,” an official said.

Muhammed Kunhi, a fish

‘Only In BJP Can
Someone From
Village Be Chief’
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Former health
minister Jagat Prakash Nadda
was elected unopposed as the
11th BJP president on Monday
with support of 21 states units
and the parliamentary party.
He replaced home minister
Amit Shah, who held the posi-
tion for five-and-a-half years.
After his inauguration, Nad-
da said BJP would aim for states
where it hasn’t registered elec-
toral success yet. The 59-year-
old, who was elected unani-
mously, said a simple worker
like him, hailing from a village,
could become party president
only in BJP. “I will work day and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulates newly elected BJP president
J P Nadda at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Monday
night along with all party work-
ers to take BJP to newer
heights,” he said in his address
at the BJP headquarters.
Recalling his long associ-
ation with the new party chief,
PM Narendra Modi reminis-
Piyal Bhattacharjee
ced how he used to ride pillion
on Nadda’s scooter when they
worked in the party organisa-
tion in Himachal Pradesh.
“I had an opportunity to
serve the party in Himachal
Pradesh for long. When I used

to see the party organisation,
Naddaji worked in the Yuva
Morcha (BJYM). He delivered
on whatever was assigned to
him. I have seen in Naddaji a
desire to excel in whatever re-
sponsibility was given to
him,” Modi said.
Nadda applauded his pred-
ecessor Amit Shah for his
work as party chief and said
under his leadership, BJP be-
come the world’s largest party.
“Today, we are the world's
largest party that is in office in
India. We have the highest
number of MPs and MLAs in
the country. We are not going
to stop at this. There are some
states left and we have set our
aim there. We will make sure
we reach them as well,” he
said. Though he didn’t men-
tion the states, his remarks
come at a time BJP is fighting
to wrest Delhi from AAP and
working overtime to unseat
TMC in West Bengal.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Though there
isn’t much to separate them in
terms of age, the elevation of
Jagat Prakash Nadda as BJP
president after home minister
Amit Shah’s eventful tenure is
an important inflexion point
for the party, dominated by
personalities like PM Naren-
dra Modi and Shah.
Though no significant
break is anticipated given that
the new president is expected
to be guided by the top duo, the
event does signify change.
While Shah’s ways were a
shock to the BJP organisation,
used to a more sedate approach
where factional considerations
were often decisive, Nadda will
take charge of a party set-up
more used to bold moves and
political deliberations that be-
gin late evening and spill over
well past midnight.
Nadda, 59, is well versed in
the ways of the Sangh Parivar,
having been an activist from
his college days in Patna and
Himachal Pradesh. He has the
benefit of working with BJP
stalwarts, having attracted at-
tention in the mid-80s. Having

since the Modi campaign gath-
ered steam in late 2013 does not
changed immensely, elements
of the old order, unhappy with
the upending of long-held
privileges, have retreated but
have not vanished.
Nadda may well be the man
for the job. He combines a deter-
mination — his mild manner
can be deceptive — and an un-
derstanding of the political vi-
sion outlined by the PM. Modi
spelt out the challenge when he
pointed to the unrelenting chal-
lenge of ideological opponents
unreconciled to BJP’s rise.
Born and educated in Bi-
har, Nadda is familiar with
heartland politics. He did his
law degree from Himachal
and won assembly polls
thrice. He has held organisa-
tional charge of several states

T
he Economic Times, a Times Group publica-
tion, is in fourth spot among English dailies
with 10.8 lakh readers while another group
publication, Mumbai Mirror, takes fifth spot with 8
lakh readers. While ET has more than thrice as many
readers as its closest rival among financial dailies,
Mint, Mirror’s readership is more than double that
of Mid-Day, its closest competitor in the segment.
IRS data on total readership also presents a simi-
lar picture with TOI widening the gap over its near-
est competitor, HT, from 83.9 lakh in Q2 2019 to
89.6 lakh in Q3.
TOI’s pan-India dominance is also reflected in
the many cities in which it is the market leader by
some distance. In Mumbai, for instance, TOI’s main
paper had an average issue readership of 12.9 lakh,
which is about 50% more than HT’s 8.6 lakh. Simi-
larly, in Bangalore, TOI is more than twice as large
as Deccan Herald, its nearest rival, with 5.2 lakh
readers compared to 2.5 lakh. In Chennai too TOI’s
2.8 lakh readership pipped The Hindu’s 2.7 lakh. In
Pune and Ahmedabad, the IRS shows that there is

3 Sikhs stabbed
to death on
London street,
2 suspects held
Naomi Canton
London: Three young Sikh
men were stabbed to death on a
street at Ilford, East London,
on Sunday evening by two men
ostensibly known to them.
Metropolitan Police on Mon-
day arrested two Sikh men,
one of them 29 and the other 39,
on suspicion of their involve-
ment in the triple murder.
Videos circulating on so-
cial media show three bodies
lying in pools of blood at the
crime scene, with personal be-
longings scattered all around.
All three victims were pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
A spokesperson for Metro-
politan Police told TOI: “At
this stage, we believe all three
British Sikh student
killed in street attack
A 20-year-old British Sikh
student was fatally assaulted
at the Nottingham city centre
early on Saturday by two susp-
ects, one of whom has since been
picked up and is being question-
ed. Arjun Singh died on Sunday, a
day after being assaulted near
the Slug and Lettuce pub in Long
Row, Nottingham, a little before
4am. Two men are suspected to
have fled the crime scene on foot.
On Monday, Nottinghamshire
Police said detectives were ques-
tioning a 20-year-old man on sus-
picion of murder. They would not
confirm if they were still looking
for a second man. Singh, a stud-
ent at Nottingham Trent Unive-
rsity, had been rushed to the Qu-
een’s Medical Centre, where he
died of his injuries. Naomi Canton
victims and the two men ar-
rested are Sikh, and they were
all known to each other. We do
not know (yet) if they are Brit-
ish nationals or of Indian-ori-
gin.” The Daily Mail identified
two of the victims as Narinder
Singh, 26, a construction
worker, and his friend Hari-
nder Kumar, 22. Sources said
Harinder was from Patiala.
Jas Athwal, leader of Red-
bridge Council, said: “An inci-
dent like this is unheard of
within the Sikh community
here in Redbridge.” London
mayor Sadiq Khan said “the
horrific triple stabbing” was a
tragic reminder of the scourge
of crime that continues “to
plague our entire country”.

Pichai says no
doubt AI needs
to be regulated
London: Google’s chief exec-
utive Sundar Pichai called on
Monday for a
balanced ap-
proach to regu-
lating artificial
intelligence,
telling a Europe-
an audience that the technolo-
gy brings benefits but also
“negative consequences”.
Pichai’s comments come as
lawmakers and governments
seriously consider putting lim-
its on how artificial intelli-
gence is used. “There is no ques-
tion in my mind that artificial
intelligence needs to be regulat-
ed. The question is how best to
approach this,” he said, accord-
ing to a transcript of his speech
at a thinktank. He noted that
there’s an important role for
governments to play and that as
the EU and the US start drawing
up their own approaches to reg-
ulation, “international alig-
nment” of any eventual rules
will be critical. He did not pro-
vide specific proposals. AP

Human-to-human transmission Harry blames ‘powerful
confirmed in China coronavirus media’ for stepping away
Over 200 Infected, Including 5 In Beijing; S Korea Reports First Case
TNN & AGENCIES
Beijing: The head of a Chi-
nese government expert team
said on Monday that human-
to-human transmission has
been confirmed in an out-
break of a new coronavirus, a
development that raises the
possibility that it could spread
more quickly and widely.
Team leader Zhong Nan-
shan, a respiratory expert,
said two people in Guangdong
province in southern China
caught the virus from family
members, state media said.
Some medical workers have al-
so tested positive for the virus,
the English-language China
Daily newspaper reported.
The late-night announce-
ment capped a day in which au-
thorities announced a sharp
uptick in the number of con-
firmed cases to more than 200,
and China’s leader called on
the government to take every
possible step to combat the ou-
tbreak. “The recent outbreak
of novel coronavirus pneum-
onia in Wuhan and other plac-
es must be taken seriously,”
President Xi Jinping said in
his first statement on the cri-
sis. “Party committees, gov-
ernments and relevant depart-
ments at all levels should put
DUST STORMS & HAIL BATTER FIRE-WEARY OZ
Thunderstorms and giant hail battered parts of Australia’s east coast on Monday after ‘apocalyptic’ dust
storms swept across drought-stricken areas, as extreme weather patterns collided in the bushfire-fatigued
country. Dramatic images captured over the weekend from western New South Wales show a massive wall of
dust rolling through outback towns. ‘It was honestly like an apocalyptic movie, a huge wave coming towards

E
ven as Pakistan foreign
minister Shah Mehmo-
od Qureshi lobbies with
Washington to help them get
out of the FATF blacklist, a
working group meeting in
Beijing is assessing Pakist-
an’s compliance on impleme-
nting terror-financing meas-
ures. Their decision on Janu-
ary 23 would be one of the im-
portant factors before the FA-
TF plenary in February wh-
ich will decide Pakistan’s fate.
In Washington, Qureshi
told journalists he had asked
US secretary of state Mike
Pompeo for help to stay out of
the grey list. “This meeting is
very important for us as it
leads to a plenary meeting in
Paris in April where the wo-
rld body will decide whether
Pakistan remains on the list
or is taken off,” he was quoted
as saying. The plenary is to be
held in February, not April.
Norway coalition collapses

Oslo: The populist Progress
Party pulled out of Norway’s
center-right governing coali-

detention camp in Syria. “We

For months now, Pakistan
has been cautious with its ex-
port of terrorism, particular-
ly across the LoC into J&K.
After the August 5, 2019 deci-
sion by the Indian govern-
ment to nullify Article 370,
the number of Pakistan-spo-
nsored terrorists infiltrating
into India have seen a decline,
particularly since October.
According to official sources,
only six terrorists were killed
in 2019 while infiltrating,
compared to about 40 in 2018.

China’s National Health
Commission said experts have
judged the current outbreak to
be “preventable and controlla-
ble”. “However, the source of
the new type of coronavirus
has not been found,” it said.
Coronaviruses cause dis-
eases ranging from the com-
mon cold to SARS, or severe
acute respiratory syndrome.
SARS first infected people in
southern China in 2002 and
spread to more than two dozen
countries, killing nearly 800.
The government initially tried
to conceal the severity of the
SARS epidemic, but its cover-
up was exposed by a high-rank-
ing physician. “That kind of
thing must not happen again
in China,” said an editorial in
the nationalistic Global Times.

Immigrant experts view
the rise in citizenship as

F
ive days after a 15-year-old
Pakistani Hindu girl was
abducted, forcibly conver-
ted to Islam, and married to a
Muslim man, local police fi-
nally secured her custody on
Monday. Ravi Dawani, the ge-
neral secretary of All Pakis-
tan Hindu Panchayat (APHP),
told TOI over phone form Ka-
rachi that police had recove-
red the minor Hindu girl from
Garhi Yasin town, 56km from
Jacobabad, in Sindh province.
The girl was abducted by 28-
year-old Ali Raza Machi, who
had earlier divorced his two wi-
ves and had four children by
them. Machi reportedly forced
the girl to embrace Islam and
married her at Dargah Amrot
Sharif. Dawani said the girl is
now in police custody in Shikar-
pur district, a bordering district
with Jacobabad. Hailing Jaco-
babad police and civil admini-
stration for helping restore the
confidence of the Hindu com-
munity, he said police had ar-
rested Machi. “We hope the law
will take its course and the guil-
ty will be punished,” he said.

Vincent Van Gogh
self-portrait is
genuine: Experts
A fter years of doubts about
its authenticity, experts in
Amsterdam have confirmed that
a Vincent van Gogh self-portrait
was indeed painted by the Dut-
ch master as he recovered in a
French asylum from a mental
breakdown. Van Gogh Museum
researcher Louis van Tilborgh
dispelled the doubts on Monday,
saying the oil-on-canvas paint-
ing of the anguished-looking
painter was completed in the
late summer of 1889. Questions
about the painting rose in the
1970s. The use of a palette knife
to flatten brush strokes on Van
Gogh’s face and what were then
considered to be unusual colo-
urs in the painting led to spec-
ulation about the authenticity of
the work, which was bought as
a genuine Van Gogh in 1910 by
Norway’s National Museum. Van
Tilborgh said the use of an unpr-
imed canvas and a muddy green
colour were typical of Van Go-
gh’s time in Saint-Remy in 1889.

espite its global status as a
high-tech powerhouse, Ja-
pan — the country that has
produced some of the coolest
gadgets — is running out of engi-
neering professionals. India, on the
other hand, is churning out tens of
thousands of engineers every year
in urgent need of jobs. In the tech
matchmaking world, Japan is swip-
ing right on India.
Many Japanese companies are
going the extra mile to make their
country a popular choice among In-
dian IT students. If the surging num-
bers are anything to go by, the trend
is here to stay. And hirers are not just
the ones Indians are familiar with,
such as Sony, Panasonic, Toyota or
Hitachi, but a wide variety of others
— big and small.
“There’s a stark disparity be-
tween the availability of job oppor-
tunities and skilled talent in both
the countries. Many small- to mid-
level Japanese companies are una-

population, has worsened the man-
power gap. The engineers the coun-

Japan’s SMEs are particularly hard-
pressed for talent. According to a
recent estimate, the country will face
a shortage of close to 6 lakh IT-relat-

batting at No.5, the current Indian team
management will look to change his slot.
However, same wasn’t the case with Dhoni,
who knew how important it is to back play-
ers at such positions, having himself gone
through the hard grind,” Sehwag said.
Manuja.Veerappa@timesgroup.com
Bengaluru: Last season, around this time,
KL Rahul was going through the worst
phase of his career. The runs had dried up
significantly and the off-field controversy
only added to his cup of woes. His place in
the team across formats was shaky.
Rahul went back to the drawing board
and hit the ground running before turning
to domestic cricket. Playing for Karnataka,
in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he scored 598
runs and his eight Syed Mushtaq Ali Tro-
phy appearances yielded 313 runs. In both
the tournaments what stood out was his
wicketkeeping. He tallied 17 catches and
two stumpings in the two events.
Stepping up to fill in the wicketkeeping
role following a concussion to Rishabh
Pant in the opening contest of the three-
match series against Australia, Rahul
weighed in with his past experience.
After two fine performances and given
his past record in the Indian Premier
League (IPL), it seems Rahul has opened
up an extra-batsman slot for the skipper.
As the team heads to New Zealand, Kohli
hinted that the 27-year-old will continue to
keep wickets in the limited-overs formats.
“If he (Rahul) can keep wickets and bat
that well in that position, we will have to
persist with that a little bit and see where
that takes us and not necessarily be con-
fused about the other options we have. I
think lack of clarity in terms of positions
has hurt us in the past. Now that we un-
derstand that this feels right, we will go
ahead with that for a while and figure out
if this is the right thing to do or not. You
can chip and change immediately and cre-
ate confusion among the group. Don’t see
any reason why we should change this bal-
Rahul really brings in a
good balance if he can
keep and bat that well in
that position (No. 5). He has come
into the slot and he has done well, so
we will have to persist with that a
little bit and see where that takes us,
and not necessarily be confused about
the other options we have.”

ance. It has done well for the team and we
will continue with the same for a while,”
said Kohli.
Drawing a parallel between Rahul Drav-
id’s wicketkeeping role during the 2003
World Cup and the current situation, Koh-
li said, “It definitely allows us to play an
extra batsman, which strengthens out bat-

ting massively. That is a very important
factor as far as the team balance is con-
cerned. If you look at the 2003 World Cup
where Rahul (Dravid) bhai started keeping,
the balance became different because you
could play an extra batsman and guys at
the top could really play positive cricket.”
Pointing towards Rahul’s adaptability
as an added advantage, Kohli added, “He
is very open to playing anywhere because
he is a proper batsman and does you good
in any format and any position in the
game. He won’t go slam-bang from ball one
but he can do what he did in Rajkot — just
playing good cricketing shots. So, I think
a solid game plan and understanding of
his game is helping. He has reflected on
what he needs to do in the last five six
months and he has come a long way. Good
signs for us. Gives a boost to the team be-
cause he keeps as well.”
confidence booster than vic-
tory and India will ride high
on it as they embark on the
tour of New Zealand which
includes five T20s, three ODIS
and two Test matches.
India won the ODI series
4-1, but lost the T20 series 1-2
during their previous visit to
New Zealand. New Zealand
also snuffed India’s World Cup
hopes with an 18-run win in the
semifinals in June last year.
The team left for the first
overseas assignment of the
year on Monday night and will
play the opening contest on
Friday. Skipper Virat Kohli
said it was very essential that
the team travelled on a win-
ning note. “It’s important. We
spoke of that at the huddle
(before the match), that this is
the last game we’re playing in
the series and if we win, you
go on a tour on a happy note.
“If you lose, it can go under
the radar, you can brush it
aside as ‘oh it’s just one loss’.
But when you win and win
under pressure like the last
two games, it boosts your con-
fidence which we’re carrying
forward, so looking forward to
the New Zealand tour.”
Putting the Black Caps un-
der the pump, according to
Kohli, will be crucial. “Last
time we beat New Zealand (in
the ODI series), so we’re tak-
ing a lot of confidence from
that. We were very positive in
how we played, very sure of
what we wanted to do.
“The thing about playing
away is if you’re able to put
the home team under pres-
sure, you can enjoy your crick-
et. You have to win at home,
there’s that sort of feeling. So,
if you bring out your ‘A’ game,
you can really put them under
pressure.”

of character and mettle for Virat
Kohli and his men. Kohli lost the
toss for the third time on the trot
and they were also a batsman
short after Shikhar Dhawan in-
jured his shoulder while fielding.
But a fine bowling effort, led by
the miserly Jasprit Bumrah, fol-
lowed by the awe-inspiring Rohit
Sharma-Kohli show sealed the
deal with ease for India.
Kohli said that one of the many
things the team has worked on in
recent times is taking the toss out
of the equation. “We spoke after
the World Cup, the way we exited,
you can’t always look for a situa-
tion that should go your way at the
toss. If we like chasing as a team,
it doesn’t mean we press the panic
button if we lose the toss. We have
to stay composed to put in strong
performances. We’ve literally
taken the toss out of the equation,
and we’re as prepared as possible
to do something the opposition
asks us to do.”
Kohli underlined that the
youngsters have stepped up.
We got a very good They’ve got Virat
start, but when KL who is probably
(Rahul) got out, it was a the greatest ODI
tricky situation because the ball player of all time, and Rohit

belief that we can play expressive a revelation and the younger guys
being 2-0 up, we thought we were
definitely going to win one of the
three at home. But they showed us
that they understand these condi-
tions very well now, having played
here a lot in the IPL and so many
tours over the years. So, although
they had a stronger side than last
time, we thought if we play good
enough, we can beat this team.”
The emphasis, he revealed was
on body language. “The only thing
we needed to be wary of was our
body language and intent because
that’s Australia’s strongest point.
All the teams in the world are
skilled but these guys play with
the intent of making things hap-
pen every over you play against
them. So, you can’t take your foot
off the pedal at all.”
According to Kohli, the series
win was special and different from
their previous victories against
Australia.“It’s a little different
from what we’ve done in the past.
We were a batsman short and we
had to take a call about who bats
where,” he said.
T
here are few areas in
cricket and business
which overlap. Let’s
talk about KL Rahul, a
fantastic human resource for
Indian cricket. He has a good
attitude, top-class fitness level,
an array of strokes and leader-
ship qualities. On a corporate
scale, Rahul is an invaluable
middle-management asset who
can be groomed for bigger roles.
A concussion break to
Rishabh Pant meant that Rahul
had to keep wickets too, a task
he did with assurance. This has
now led to talk that he will con-
tinue this dual role in the up-
coming limited-overs games. I
hope the Indian team’s HR de-
hul? Is he wholeheartedly per-
forming the role? It’s usually
impossible for a young crick-
eter to say “no” to anything
thrown at him without risking
getting dropped.
Second, what happens to
Rishabh Pant? I think his con-
fidence is already eroding un-
der the constant scrutiny of
his technique. I’m not sure how
he will perceive this move. A
fair and open-hearted chat
with Rishabh will ensure the
team performs well both on
and off the field.
Organisations can ill af-
ford to have a talented but
disgruntled youngster in the

Ishant injures ankle ahead of NZ Tests England crush Tendulkar, Anand dropped
South Africa
Arani.Basu@timesgroup.com

New Delhi: Ishant Sharma

limped off the ground during
a Ranji trophy match against
Vidarbha at the Ferozeshah
Kotla here on Monday, adding
to the injury woes of Indian
cricket team. India’s most ex-
perienced pacer twisted his
ankle while appealing for an
LBW decision against visiting
captain Faiz Fazal.
Delhi were under pressure
having conceded a 16-run lead
while chasing Vidarbha’s first
innings total of 179, with medi-
um-pacer Akshay Thakare
taking 7/55.
While the under-pressure
Delhi camp wore a dejected
look as Ishant took support of
the support staff to leave the
field. The selectors are due to
pick the squad for the two-Test
series in New Zealand in a few
days’ time. Ishant was sched-
uled to leave for New Zealand
by February 6.
“The injury looks really
bad. His ankle is swollen. Hope
it’s not a fracture. He has been
taken for an MRI. Most proba-
bly, the National Cricket Acad-
emy (NCA) will take over his
recovery and rehab from
here,” a source in the Delhi
camp said after the game.
The Indian team manage-
ment will have its fingers
crossed. “An ankle injury al-
ways takes longer to heal. This
is a freak injury. Let’s hope the
NCA can get him ready for the
New Zealand series,” a BCCI
official told TOI. Ishant is four
shy of playing 100 Tests — Ka-
pil Dev is the only Indian pacer
to cross this milestone.
Elsewhere, Bengal’s Ma-
noj Tiwary (303) became the

Port Elizabeth: England com-
pleted a comprehensive win by an
innings and 53 runs on the fifth
day of the third Test against
South Africa at St George’s Park
on Monday, taking an unbeatable
2-1lead in the four-match series.
England were held up by a last
wicket stand of 99 between Kesh-
av Maharaj (71) and Dane Pater-
son (39 not out) and it needed a di-
rect-hit run-out by Sam Curran
from mid-on to clinch the result
shortly before lunch. South Afri-
ca were bowled out for 237.
The partnership between
Maharaj and Paterson was easily
South Africa’s best of the match
and showed up an otherwise poor
batting performance by the hosts.
South Africa added 135 runs in
losing their last four wickets,
which seemed unlikely when Ver-
non Philander chipped a catch to
midwicket off Stuart Broad three
balls into the day. AGENCIES
from govt panel on sports
Sabi.Hussain@timesgroup.com
New Delhi: Batting maestro
Sachin Tendulkar and
chess wizard Viswanathan
Anand have been excluded
from an advisory panel – All
India Council of Sports
(AICS) – formed by the Na-
rendra Modi government to
deliberate on matters relat-
ing to the development of
sports in the country.
Cricketers Harbhajan
Singh and Kris Srikkanth
have been included in the
panel as its new members.
The AICS was formed in De-
cember 2015 during the ten-
ure of then sports minister
Sarbananda Sonowal.
During the committee’s
first tenure, which ran from
December 2015 to May last
year when the Modi govern-
ment’s first full-term term at
the Centre concluded, Ten-
dulkar was drafted into the
committee as a Rajya Sabha
MP along with Anand. The
committee’s original
strength size has also been
pruned down from 27 mem-
bers to 18 in its second term.
In the committee’s re-
jigged list for second term,
there are two other notable
omissions – Indian badmin-
ton’s chief national coach
Pullela Gopichand and for-
mer football captain Bhai-
chung Bhutia. According to
sources, the names of Ten-
dulkar and Anand (who is
still active on the circuit) we-
ren’t considered as the two
attended just a couple of
meetings of the committee.
In the case of Gopichand, it’s
been understood that Indian
shuttlers’ Tokyo Olympics
preparations were keeping
him busy with little time to
attend the AICS proceed-
ings.
Some of the new mem-
bers who have been included
in the committee are: Limba
Ram (archery), P T Usha
(athletics), Bachendri Pal
(mountaineering), Deepa
Malik (para-athlete), Anjali
Bhagwat (shooting), Renedy
Singh (football) and Yogesh-
war Dutt (wrestling).

sion is to ensure long term sustainability of badminton
and become less dependent of using natural feathers for
shuttlecocks,” he said. “We heard from some elite players

involved in the testing that they were able to adjust the
slight variances between the synthetic and traditional
shuttlecocks quite quickly.”
Surprisingly, chief coach of the Indian badminton te-
am, Pullela Gopichand, said he was unaware of the deve-
lopment. “Without testing it, I cannot comment on how it
behaves,” he told TOI. “But I feel the skill aspect of the ga-
me may be lost. We may not have the soft touch, cuts or
drops. It will be a different shift in the sport. The game
may be more power reliant. We need to adapt to it, there is
no other way.”
The name ‘shuttlecock’ originated in the 1570s in Eng-
land. The one in use now is made from 16 overlapping feat-
hers. In China, goose feathers are used while in India
white duck feathers are used. In every shuttle, feathers
from only one of the wing (left or right) are used.
Former India star Chetan Anand, who runs his own
academy, said, “I think too many changes are bad for the ga-
me. However, if there is not much difference between the fe-
ather and synthetic variants, I don't have a problem.”

The Malang madness catches on
he makers of Malang have given viewers a glimpse
T of what’s in store for them through the film’s songs,
posters and trailer. Along with the madness that the
film offers, the audience will be treated to a potent dose of
romance between Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani. When
the first poster, which captured a passionate moment be-
tween Aditya and Disha, was released, it created a lot of buzz
online and became a talking point. The trailer, which is edgy
and intriguing, went viral. Malang, directed by Mohit Suri
The one where Brad and Jen reunited
he ongoing awards season in Hollywood is
T giving fans of Brad Pitt and Jennifer
Aniston a lot to gush about. After zooming
in on Jennifer’s face during Brad’s acceptance
speech at the Golden Globes, fans are now going
awww over the former couple’s reactions to each
other’s wins at the SAG Awards held on Sunday
night. Jennifer couldn’t stop beaming while Brad
gave his acceptance speech after winning the best
supporting actor award for his role in Once Upon
A Time... In Hollywood, and clapped when Brad
joked about how his character in the film was a
guy who “doesn’t get on with his wife.” When
it was Jen’s turn to accept her best
actress in a drama series award,
Brad was backstage, catching the
whole speech on a TV. Later on,
the two were spotted hugging
each other, with Brad hold-
ing on to Jennifer’s hand
as she walked away.
Lately, the two exes have
often spoken about how
they are friendly with each
other, but that hasn’t
stopped fans from hoping
that they’d get back to-

Entertainment’s Jay Shewakramani, releases on February 7. S of Jhansi, and now, with the slice-of-life sports
drama Panga, Kangana Ranaut is all set to up
her game. And this time with jumps, dives, skill and tact
on the playing field. In the film, she plays a 32-year-old
mom, who chases her dream to be a kabaddi player. Much
like the Kangana we know, who dares to dream big and
fight every hurdle along the way. In a chat with us, she
talks about her real-life pangas, precious relationships
and her idea of an ideal partner. Read on…
Pics: @SAGawards There is a song in Panga with inspiring lyrics, which
says, ‘Man ki jo sune, hai wohi changa. Lele, Lele
panga’ Is that the mantra you live by?
I think so, and I would like to believe that I only listen
to my heart and what I feel is right. I left home at a very
early age, so I didn’t have any overpowering figure in
my life – a father figure or anyone else like that. I start-
ed working at 17, so I have taken panga since that age.
Even back then, I did what my heart told me to. It could
probably be the most immature thing to do, but I still
did it. I thought, why should I pretend to be someone
else? Why should my reactions be like my father’s or
anyone else’s whose experiences are different from mine?
So, you have taken responsibility for all your choic-
es and decisions, right or wrong.
Yes, always! When I left home, it was a very decisive
moment in my life, because there was obviously a fe-
eling like, what if it doesn’t work out. But then, I told
myself, whatever the consequences are, deal with it
alone. Your parents didn’t sign up for this, so don’t turn
around and go back to them. It is not that my parents
would object if I went back, but I knew that, I have to
take 100% responsibility for whatever happens in my

may be surrounded by any number of lines.
■ You can’t draw lines around zeroes.
■ Each puzzle has just one unique solution.

Kangana: If two people are doing doubly

...CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
When Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (director) ap-
proached you with this film, you were
going through a difficult time in your
life. So, what convinced you to take on
this role, knowing that the project will
be very demanding?
Ashwiny met me during a dramatic phase
of my life. In my mind, I had completed
Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi (2019),
but I got to know that the studio was not
okay with the film and wanted to bring
another director on board. Eventually, I
took over.
I left a film called Imli and I was also toy-
ing with the idea of not doing Panga. At
that time, I thought I was not in the head-
space to do this film, but Ashwiny told me
that she would help me through it. I was
shooting two units and I would sometimes
land on the Panga set thinking, ‘Where
am I?’ It was unlike me. I was so lost, and
she helped me through it. She is one of the
most organised people I know, and her
homework is on point. We both are very ties with her.

va. Bhavana, who started performing at the age ther presented an act
of five, and is now carrying forward the legacy that depicted Shiva as
of Raja-Radha Reddy, began the 90-minute per- the cosmic dancer (Na-
formance, bringing alive the ashtamurti or the traja) doing tandava – an
act for which Bhavana’s
father, Raja Reddy, is
well-known. Radha and Raja Reddy lighting a lamp
Another highlight
Bhavana was a rare performance – pada varnam (a form
Reddy’s of song in the Carnatic music repertoire, often
dance known for its complex structure) – which used
act in the to be performed in Yakshaganas (a traditional
capital Indian theatre form, developed in dakshina Kan-
nada). “Pada varnams somehow have gotten lost
in translation, and not many people perform
them anymore, but it used to be an act that ear-
lier Kuchipudi dancers would perform as solo
pieces,” said Bhavana.
Another act presented Virahotkanthita (a
form of abhinaya or theatrics that depicts the
heroine suffering the pangs of separation)
showed Parvati pinning for Shiva.
The last act was a tarangam, writ-
ten by Narayana Theertha (a 17-18th
century saint, who is best known for
his songs devoted to Krishna) on Shiva.
As is customary, the performance ended
with Bhavana dancing
on the rim of a brass plate.
Explaining the idea behind it,
Raja Reddy, said, “When you
are dancing on the plate, your
earthly connections are no
more; your prayer reaches to
god directly. That’s the whole
idea behind it.”
Applauding the perform-
ance, Sanjana Jon, said,
“We are working on a series
to promote classical legends,
and that is being translated
through young performers
like Bhavana very well.”
Thanking her gurus,
Raja-Radha Reddy and
Kaushalya Reddy, Bhavana
said, “I am very thankful to
my gurus who have tirelessly
trained me. I can sometimes
be a stubborn daughter. They
have made me less stubborn
during the process, and I have
come to respect many things.
They have been very patient
with me.” (L-R) Sanjana Jon, Jasbir Jassi, Kaushalya Reddy, and Leena Singh

I am, it would have been difficult for me to
mend the relationship. I am not someone
who is good with failures, especially when
dealing with people. When I fail, it does not
change my perception of me, but when I
look into people’s eyes and see their per-
ception shift, I can’t take it. I block myself
out and don’t meet anyone. I don’t think
that it is anyone’s business to judge me like
that. I am sure that I would not have gone
back to my family if I had failed, because
of my own ego, no matter how much they

say, ‘Maine kaha tha tumko…’
You recently said that after seeing the
KANGANA
RANAUT
relationship that Ashwiny and her film-
maker husband, Nitesh Tiwari share,
you feel that marriage is not such a bad
idea, after all? What are your reserva-
tions about marriage?
When you have so much going for your-
self, you tend to get thoughts like… ‘The
world needs me, why should I belong
to one person (laughs)?’ Also, with
time, you can become compul-
sively independent in the way
you live your life and oper-
ate, and the way you cre-
ate your personal
space. Then, mar-
riage seems like a
trap. When you are
functioning better
on your own, than
with a partner, then,
marriage doesn’t make
sense, right? As partners,
you should function doubly
better. I see that Rangoli (sis-
ter) and her husband function
well with each other. Emotionally,
financially and spiritually, I should do
better with my partner than I am doing
on my own. If two people are doing dou-
bly well together in these aspects, I am open
to marriage. Even if it does not double up,
it should not bring me down from where I
am. I can see how Ashwiny and Nitesh
function beautifully together and enhance
each other. They are raising a lovely fam-
ily together. When I see that, I think, ‘Okay,
this works. This is how it should be.’
