Naik today said, "We didnot include Suryanamaskarto avoid controversy. And,moreover, it's difficult todo it. But Suryanamaskaris not religious. We wantthe whole event to gosmoothly."

"Shlokas are not compul-sory. Shlokas are merelyprayers but it is not com-pulsory. They can eventake the name of Allahinstead of chanting

shlokas. I request theMuslims to participate andunite the country," Naiktold reporters after meetinga delegation of Muslimorganisations.

Opposition has beenvoiced by some organisa-tions, including the AllIndia Muslim PersonalLaw Board, against per-formance of SuryaNamaskar, saying it isagainst their faith.

"We did not make any-thing compulsory. Even theHRD Ministry has merelyappealed to the educationalinstitutions. Few partiesare opposing it for the sakeof politics," Naik said.

Noting that yoga is amatter of pride and has"nothing" to do with reli-gion, the Minister said thatyoga unites people and isdone for fitness.

"If people aren't fit therewon't be any development.The protests are mislead-ing. Muslims would be co-partners not just partici-pants," he said.

Meanwhile, Daudi Bohracommunity members whomet the Minister wel-comed Prime MinisterNarendra Modi's initiativeand said the event does nothave any religious conno-tations.

"There's yoga in namaazbut namaaz isn't yoga.Those who oppose it areenemies of humanitybecause yoga is for thewell being of humans,"Maulana Syed KaukabMujtaba Abidi, presidentof Majlis Ulema e Hind(Uttar Pradesh), toldreporters.

Firebrand BJP leaderYogi Adityanath had

kicked up a rowsaying those opposing

'Surya namaskar' should"drown in the sea" whichwas decried by Swaraj as"unfortunate".

Adityanath's remarkscame after the All-IndiaMuslim Personal LawBoard said that it willmove the Supreme Courtagainst inclusion of Suryanamaskar and Yoga inschools.

Interestingly, Bohra saidthat AIMPLB's oppositionis for "political gains" andthat it works as per the"directions of a particularpolitical party".

"A section is trying tomake it a political issue.The event is being wrong-ly interpreted. Yoga hasgot nothing to do with ritu-als. We will definitely takepart in the event," he said.

MUMBAIStressing on the need to adopt ecologically

sustainable and pragmatic solutions, UnionWomen and Child Development MinisterManeka Gandhi on Thursday said there is aneed to create a 'ministry of invention' at thegovernment level to encourage proprietarywork.

"What we need in India is not just a ministryof skill development, we need a 'ministry forinventions'. We need to pay for people to doinventions," she said while addressing finan-cial sector participants at the BSE here.

Citing the case of IIM-Ahmedabad profes-sor Anil Gupta, who has 800 patents to hiscredit, Gandhi said a country like ours need

solutions for addressing a diverse set of prob-lems. She said a 'gobar' or cowdung collectinginitiative, one such frugal innovation, is help-

ing her earn Rs 60,000 a month from her'gaushala' or cowshed in the national capital.

From being a "problem", the dung has nowbecome an asset that is being monetised and isbeing used for the ecologically beneficialinvention of 'cow-dung bricks' or as manure infarms and cremations in form of 'cow-dunglogs', she said.

In the over 27-minute speech, the ministerwho has been closely associated with animalrights' causes, also informed the audienceabout progress done by Indian-origin scien-tists in creating alternatives for meat fromcells created in labs and asked the financialworld to back such ideas with resources.

She also spoke strongly for organic farming,

illustrating the damage done by the pesticideslike Bayer- manufactured (chemical, healthcare MNC) neonicotinoids pesticide is caus-ing in death of bees which are the primeagents for pollination of seeds.

The minister said the dwindling numbers ofbees have resulted in many western powerstaking regulatory action against such pesti-cides, but its usage in India continues becauseof the obsession to have higher yields in cot-ton, where it is used.

She said the celebrated green revolution hashad "terrible fallouts" like upping the numberof people affected with cancer and making theland heavily dependent on water.

For water, corporations are drilling down

into the crust in Himachal Pradesh to makepackaged drinking water, she said, warningthat this cannot continue for long.

Similarly, food processing company Al-Kabeer is using scarce water for washing thecarcasses of culled cows in Hyderabad, sherued. She also alleged that American multina-tional Coca Cola is drilling for water deep inRajasthan, which receives low rainfall, andcalled for much rapid adoption of solutionslike turning salt water into potable one. On thehealth front, she said the presence of antibi-otics through dietary preferences like eatingchicken "is making us more unhealthy as thebirds are given the antibiotics for higher prof-its".

Pakistan passes resolution against Modi'sremarks on creation of Bangladesh

ISLAMABADPakistan's Senate on

Thursday passed a resolu-tion condemning PrimeMinister Narendra Modi'srecent remarks on theIndian role in creation ofBangladesh.

The resolution waspassed unanimously, andcondemns the recentprovocative and hostilestatements by Indian lead-ers against Pakistan,Pakistani media reported.

The resolution rejectedIndia's “hegemonic mind-set” and stressed thatPakistan will never allowIndian forces to violate itsterritory. During the dis-cussion on the resolution,political leaders empha-sised that the armed forcesof Pakistan would give abefitting reply to anyincursion attempt by India.

The resolution came aday after India said its sur-gical strikes insideMyanmar to exterminatemilitants were a messageto other neighbours, indi-rectly implying a warningto Pakistan.

Pakistan had earlier also

condemned PM Modi'sremarks acknowledgingIndia's "intervention" inthe events of 1971 andalleged the same wereaimed at fanning hatredagainst it.

Islamabad had alsocalled on the UN to takenotice of India's "openadmission" of indulging insubversive activities todestabilise the country.

"Pakistan will take allpossible steps to exposeIndia's role in the break-upof East Pakistan in 1971

and its threat to destabilisePakistan through terror-ism," Pakistan PrimeMinister's Adviser onForeign Affairs Sartaj Aziztold Parliament.

Modi, in his remarksduring his recent visit toBangladesh, had talkedabout the role of his coun-try in the independence ofBangladesh.

"Pakistan aaye din (con-stantly) disturbs India, jonaako dum la deta hai (cre-ates nuisance), terrorismko badhawa (deta hai)...ki

ghatnaayein ghatthi rehtihain (promotes terrorismand such incidents keeprecurring)," the PM said inhis address to DhakaUniversity during hisBangladesh trip.

Recalling that 90,000Pakistani prisoners of warwere in India's captivityduring the 1971Bangladesh LiberationWar, Modi had said, "If wehad a diabolic mindset, wedon't know then what deci-sion we would havetaken."

23% samples test positivefor 'lead' poisoning

MUMBAIDays after lead was

found in instant foodMaggi that had raised con-cerns over packed fooditems, an analysis of bloodsamples collected over aperiod of one year fromacross the country hasrevealed that over 23 per-cent of the total samplestested positive with leadpoisoning. According to aWHO study, lead exposureis estimated to account for1,43,000 deaths per yearwith the highest burden indeveloping regions.

Recently, popular noo-dles 'Maggi' has comeunder regulatory scannerafter samples collected invarious parts of the coun-try were found containingadded monosodium gluta-mate (MSG) and lead inexcess of the permissiblelimit and its sale banned inmany states. "A pan-Indiaanalysis of 733 blood sam-ples collected over last oneyear has revealed that23.47 percent (172 sam-ples) of the total samplestested positive with Leadpoisoning," Dr SandeepWarghade, ConsultingPathologist Metropolis

Healthcare told reportershere.

Lead poisoning is acumulative toxicant, par-ticularly harmful to youngchildren and can affectmultiple body systems, hesaid. The analysis wasdone by the MetropolisHealthcare. He said leadpoisoning is tested usinghigh sensitivity technologycalled ICPMS (InductivelyCoupled Plasma MassSpectrometry) andGraphite Furnace Atomicabsorption spectrometry.Blood, serum and urinesamples can also be testedfor lead. In growing chil-dren, it causes low IQ,hyperactivity, attentiondeficit, learning disabili-ties and anaemia, he said.

"Lead poisoning can behard to detect even peoplewho look healthy can havehigh levels of lead. At highlevels of exposure, leaddamages the brain and cen-tral nervous system andcan lead to coma, convul-sions and even death.Signs and symptoms oflead poisoning usuallydon't appear until danger-ous amounts have accumu-lated," Warghade added.

In the land of the cobra andthe snake-charmer, the cobrafinds itself in the middle of

an unlikely controversy.Cloaked under the privilege of“religion and culture”, the newdraft National Wildlife Policy,framed by the Ministry ofEnvironment, Forests andClimate Change, suggestsamending existing laws to allowhunting of animals like cobras.Union Environment MinisterPrakash Javadekar has repeated-ly made statements sayingwildlife protection laws can beamended to accommodate “reli-gious and cultural practices”. Ahigh-level committee set up toreview India’s environmentlaws, led by former CabinetSecretary T.S.R. Subramanian,first suggested these amend-ments, stating they would beharmless to both man and beast.

The question is whetherendangered and protectedspecies, already illegallypoached, should be subjected tofurther commodificationthrough vague terms like “cul-ture” and “religion”. More prob-lematically, the question iswhether decisions that impactecology and non-human speciesshould be taken on lines thatwill likely favour one dominantcommunity, or custom, overanother. Both problems repre-sent the way certain animals areconstructed as familiar to us,even as friendly; even if the ani-mals are, in fact, dangerous,endangered, or hard to procure.At its centre is a person’s per-ception of the wild animal, how-ever removed from reality.

The wild as familiarHunting of most animals,

except notified vermin (likerats), is prohibited in India. Thisstems from strong conservationand preservation laws in inde-pendent India. However, thedraft of the new NationalWildlife Policy suggests that ifcruelty in hunting can beremoved, hunting should be

allowed. It states: “Traditionalpractices involving wild animalsare prevalent and in almost allcases, there are confrontationsbetween the enforcementauthorities and communities onthese aspects, [thus] it is desir-able to distinguish between“hunting” and specified reli-gious/cultural practices of com-munities involving wild/ sched-uled animals. The regulationsfor appropriate safeguards andprevention of cruelty can be pro-vided in the Act.”

The predecessor of this is theT.S.R. Subramanian Report,which recommends: “India has avaried and glorious cultural tra-dition; while there are manynational festivals, there are alsolocalised festivals which are ofgreat local importance in differ-ent States. Nature and animalworship has been part of thenational culture. Thus, forexample, Nag Panchami inmany States is celebrated andsnakes worshipped during fivedays in the Shravan month, as athousand-year-old tradition. It isto be noted that the snakes arenever harmed — indeed they areworshipped during this period.

A dispensation in the variousSchedules should be permittedto take into account such localpractices, and reflect them intheir approved schedules,through gazette notification.”

Both high-level documentssuggest that removing cruelty inthe capture or procurement ofthese animals can not only givethe animal respect but also fulfilcultural traditions. For a specieslike the cobra (or any wildsnake), this could not be furtherfrom the truth. For NagPanchami each year, tens ofthousands of snakes are cap-tured. Cobras, like many wildsnakes, do not take well to cap-ture. They are almost alwaysdefanged using stones or hotmetallic instruments and theirmouths are stitched up. They diedeaths that are always painful,and sometimes delayed.

The interpretation of certaintraditions, however, construethat the captured, livid, hissingcobra wants to be captured or isbeing adequately respected. Inreality, the hunting of snakes(cobras, rat snakes), birds (likeowls, parakeets) and other ani-mals always masks the death of

many more. For each bird orsnake in illegal captivity, thereare thousands that died duringthe capture or transportation.Several animals will not andcannot breed in captivity. Toprocure them for any culturalcustom, their capture from thewild will always be necessary.The Ministry’s moves try to castan accommodative sheen oncustom and culture, but the real-ity is invariably gruesome.

Sacred becoming profaneIn India, several animals are

deemed “holy”. This has led in amajor part to unsustainablepractices. Wild elephants arecaptured, beaten and broken, tocarry people or stand immo-bilised for hours on end,adorned with heavy and blind-ing ornaments. Snakes andconch shells are illegally “har-vested” for sale at scandalouslygreedy rates. For several wildspecies, their being sacred hasactually led to physical profani-ty. Should the EnvironmentMinistry broaden the cruelty ofhunting in the name of faith?And further, is it the job of theEnvironment Ministry to be thegatekeeper of which customs,

religions, and practices touphold or privilege over anoth-er?

It was reported recently thateight tribals from Jharkhand’sKhunti district have been lan-guishing in jail for months now,for sacrificing an ox, deemedholy by Hindus. The tribals wereunaware of the furore theiractions would cause, and theiractions were probably inadver-tent. However, amending thelaw as per the above suggestionswould mean knowingly allow-ing sacrifice, harvest and hunt-ing of some animals; and privi-leging one belief over another.Apart from having social ramifi-cations, it will also strengthenthe hands of poachers bybecoming, effectively, a smoke-screen for poaching itself. Tillabout 50 years ago, it was con-sidered ‘cultured’ for people tohunt tigers. British and Indianroyals and nobles hunted. Aswith other social evils, huntingtoo was deemed an anachronismand banned. We will be takingseveral steps back if we re-allowhunting, whether for ‘religioususe’ or otherwise.

Ultimately, one hopes cultureis something that evolves. TheNyishi tribals of ArunachalPradesh have learned toembrace artificial fibreglasscasques instead of hunting theendangered hornbills for head-gear — that is evolution. Similarsolutions should be found,instead of targeting the alreadydwindling wild animal popula-tions. The EnvironmentMinistry needs to show leader-ship in protecting biodiversity.Towards this end, it shoulduphold hunting restrictions,instead of considering changeswhich will be cruel, regressive,and fetishise species. The onlyright answer is in creating newand evolved cultures.

In the recently concluded sessionof Parliament, while some impor-tant Bills got passed, others had to

be sent to parliamentary committeesfor further scrutiny. Some of thedelayed Bills were termed as ‘gamechangers’ and the stock marketindices reacted negatively. The Billswere passed in the Lok Sabha butwere stalled in the Rajya Sabha sincethe government did not have thenumbers. Politics played an impor-tant role in all this but there are gen-uine reasons why a reconsideration ofthe stalled Bills may be beneficial forthe country.

A paper tigerLet us start with the so-called

“Black Money Bill” passed with easein both Houses of Parliament. Noparty wanted to be seen opposing itgiven the prevalent anti-corruptionclimate in the country. Since the Billseeks to bring back illegally stashedwealth from abroad, opposing itwould have appeared to be anti-national. It also passed easily becausemost realise that it will do little tobring back the ‘treasure’! The viewsof the high-profile activists fromwithin the ranks of the BharatiyaJanata Party (BJP), Ram Jethmalaniand Subramanian Swamy, make itclear that the Bill is a paper tiger.

It provides for stringent punish-ment of those Indians who holdundisclosed wealth and/or earnundisclosed incomes abroad.Excluded from its purview are Non-Resident Indians (NRI) who are gen-uine holders of wealth abroad andcan earn incomes there. They are notobliged to declare their assets orincomes to Indian authorities. So,Indians who are moneyed, work outan arrangement with NRIs to holdtheir wealth and show their incomesthrough legal arrangements.

Further, the provisions of the Billwill be applicable only if the govern-ment is able to detect incomes andwealth held abroad. The Bill has nomechanism for doing so. Hence, thedraconian punishment — a jail termand 300 per cent fine — can hardlybe implemented. An amnesty scheme

is being offered to come clean. Therewill be no punishment if one disclos-es the assets and incomes abroad inthe specified period and pays thetaxes within six months. Thus, theinexperienced ones who had heldillegal wealth abroad in their ownnames and earned incomes on themwould have a chance to come clean.The HSBC list revealed that someIndians who did take out funds intheir own names have now gotcaught. The ‘experienced’ oneswould not have made the mistake ofholding funds in their own names.

The process of “layering” has beenavailable for a long time. It hides aperson’s identity by using shell com-panies in tax havens to transfer funds.It is no surprise then that the Swissgovernment revealed that Indianshold only Rs.14,000 crore in Swissbanks. This is mostly legitimatemoney, of Indians, and in their ownnames. The black wealth of most‘experienced’ Indians would beparked there via shell companies intax havens and hence not be countedas Indian money. The largest amountof money in Swiss banks belongs tothe British since they own the largestnumber of tax havens.

The loophole of amnestyThe Bill contains no mechanism to

identify funds going out or being heldabroad. The government arguesrepeatedly that it will get informationvia the Double Taxation AvoidanceAgreement (DTAA) or TaxInformation Exchange (TIE) agree-ment with a number of governments.However, these agreements havebeen in place for more than twodecades; it is ironic that under them,there has been no information onblack wealth holders. Further, theseagreements are about the declaredincomes of individuals and not abouttheir undisclosed wealth or incomes.Hence, this argument does not holdwater.

Bill does hold out a threat that ifanyone is caught, the penalties willbe harsher than for those with blackwealth detected in India. There maybe a deterrent effect but since thebrief of clever lawyers, charteredaccountants and bankers is to deviseways to hide incomes, it can only bea losing battle. Thus, the most signif-icant aspect of the Bill is the amnestyto those to come clean who may havemade the mistake in the past of put-ting money in their own names. It isno wonder then that the Bill waspassed in Parliament.

A blow against corruptionThen, there is the Whistleblowers

Bill, crucial in exposing rampant cor-ruption in the country. While it is dif-ficult for people outside to unearthcorruption in institutions, insiders areoften in the know and can reveal itsextent provided they have protectionunder the act. But the amendmentsproposed will make action on com-plaints by whistle-blowers more dif-ficult, and they can face prosecution.Together, both these will dissuadepeople with information from comingforward to expose wrongdoing. Isthis the intention of the government?Corruption works to the disadvantageof the vast majority of Indians and ifthe amendments to theWhistleblowers Bill are passed, theywill be the sufferers.

Affecting the small sectorThe introduction of Goods and

Services Tax (GST) in the country isbeing promoted as the biggest taxreform in India and a game changer.It is supposed to provide a seamlessunified market for business, raiseGDP growth by 1 per cent, tax-GDPratio by 2 per cent, reduce the cost ofindigenous goods by around 10 percent and lead to the consolidation ofmanufacturing to reap economies ofscale. However, the Bill proposingthe constitution amendment to enablethe implementation of this reform has

been sent to a parliamentary commit-tee, thus delaying its implementation.The United Progressive Alliance,which introduced this idea, has nowbacktracked since it does not wish togive the BJP-led NationalDemocratic Alliance (NDA) anadvantage. Opposing it on genuinegrounds are the manufacturing Statesthat are worried about loss of rev-enue.

However, the real problem withGST in India is not being addressedby any of the political parties. Indiahas a large, unorganised sectoremploying 93 per cent of the work-force. The small and tiny units underit produce locally and sell locally.The unified market sought to be cre-ated is of little help to them. Actually,they will lose as large-scale produc-tion gains. This will slow downemployment generation and aggra-vate underemployment and distressin the farm sector. Excess labour infarming typically gets absorbed in theunorganised sector; if that sectordeclines, rural distress can onlyincrease.

The small-scale sector that wouldbe outside the GST net would not beable to sell to the large-scale sectorbecause it would not have receipts forpayment of Value Added Tax.Further, the unorganised sector can-not afford computerisation ofaccounts to calculate the value addi-tion and pay tax on it. That is why itis kept outside the GST, but thatwould now be to its disadvantage.

Finally, there are contradictions inthe argument being made for GST.The tax-GDP ratio can only rise ifmore tax is collected but then priceswill rise leading to a slowdown indemand so that GDP growth rate can-not rise as claimed. Further, if theGST tax rate is not raised to the rev-enue neutral rate (RNR), then tax col-lection will fall and the tax-GDP ratiocannot rise. Thus, the macro-levelstory shows that either way, there is acontradiction in the government’sargument. It is for this reason that theStates are right to worry about apotential loss of revenue. Clearly,GST is being introduced for the ben-

efit of large businesses and wouldwork against the interest of the small-scale sector and the majority in thecountry.

Marginalising the farmerThe Land Acquisition Bill is also to

further the interests of big businessesand a part of creating the “ease ofdoing business”. In the process, theland owning-farming community isbeing sought to be marginalised.Farming is not just work but also away of life and when the village com-munity — with all its drawbacks —is broken up, then people are forcedto give up a way of life. Manymigrate to urban areas with fewassets, to an alien and polluted slumenvironment and suffer a deteriora-tion in their living conditions. Shouldthese people not have the right to beconsulted? In the past, excess landhas been acquired cheap and hasbecome an investment for big busi-ness. In Gurgaon, land was acquiredby big developers in the 1980s anddeveloped for commercial and resi-dential purposes rather than foressential purposes. The developersgot advance information andacquired large parcels of land at acheap rate in connivance with politi-cians. In fact, a Chief Minister gotover a lakh acres of land notified foracquisition. But for the fall of thegovernment this would have gonethrough at the expense of the farmers.

In brief, the Land Bill and the intro-duction of GST will further margin-alise the already marginalised. TheBlack Money Bill and the proposedamendment to the WhistleblowersBill will together make the task ofunearthing black incomes in India orabroad more difficult, in turn addingto the difficulties of the commonman. When the NDA came to power,the Finance Minister had argued thatbeing pro-business is not being anti-poor, but the government’s actionsseem to contradict that.

Fight For Right

After months of sparring by means of official noti-fications, rounds of litigation, and orders of trans-fer and dismissal of various officers, the seeming-

ly endless battle for the control of Delhi between the AamAadmi Party and the BJP-led Central government hastaken an ugly turn with the extraordinary arrest of JitenderSingh Tomar. The Delhi Law Minister, who allegedlyholds two fake educational degrees, resigned hours after acourt sent him to police custody.

It must be said that the AAP has handled the issue ofMr. Tomar’s qualifications with a complete lack of politi-cal nous.

This has been the subject matter of a case in the DelhiHigh Court after the issue came up in February, and theparty could have either asked the Minister to step downtill he was cleared of the charges, or simply made hisdegree diplomas public on its website. It might be saidthat the AAP deserves sympathy in its ongoing face-offwith a Goliath of a Centre, but lapses such as these are butanother reminder that it could no longer really claim to bea party with a difference.

The Delhi Police have gone strictly by the letter of thelaw in ordering the arrest. However, the manner in whichthey have gone about the process has left no one in doubtthat it has essentially been a show of strength against apolitical party that is determined to put an end to corrup-tion.

To arrest Mr. Tomar the Delhi Police sent a posse of 40officers, and then deployed heavy security around thepolice station where he was being held.

The police worked late into the night to file a firstinformation report, got it signed by Lieutenant GovernorNajeeb Jung around midnight, and then appeared at Mr.Tomar’s residence around 6 a.m. to make the arrest. Thesudden drive and determination to arrest on the basis ofcharges of forgery a person who is hardly likely to goabsconding, made it seem politically motivated.

The governmental tussle over Delhi has meanwhilereached its zenith, and one battleground is the State’sAnti-Corruption Branch.

The Lt. Governor recently created a senior post in theACB so that he could post an officer of his choice who,incidentally, was conducting the investigations when afarmer committed suicide at the venue of an AAP rally.The AAP cried foul and ordered him sent back.

That order was cancelled by the Lt. Governor. In retal-iation, the AAP transferred out the official who hadappointed him.

All of this points to just another bizarre turn to a bizarresituation where the two governments just seem to be itch-ing for a fight. The people of Delhi, interminably caughtin the crossfire, may be the only real losers.

Bill does hold out a threat that if anyone is caught, the penaltieswill be harsher than for those with black wealth detected in India.

There may be a deterrent effect but since the brief of clever lawyers,chartered accountants and bankers is to devise ways to hide

incomes, it can only be a losing battle. Thus, the most significantaspect of the Bill is the amnesty to those to come clean who mayhave made the mistake in the past of putting money in their own

names. It is no wonder then that the Bill was passed in Parliament.

Ultimately, one hopes culture is some-thing that evolves. The Nyishi tribals of

Arunachal Pradesh have learned toembrace artificial fibreglass casques

instead of hunting the endangered horn-bills for headgear — that is evolution.

Similar solutions should be found,instead of targeting the already dwin-

dling wild animal populations.

Myanmar strike...state and when an attack is imminent.The Myanmar hot pursuit appears to have

taken a leaf from the United States’ pre-emp-tive doctrine and attacked militant outfits inMyanmar in defiance of sovereignty and itcould be said even international law. Thestate has gone further and asserted that theMyanmar operation was not an isolated one;it would hold in the future too against hostilestates and groups.

What can be inferred and extrapolated fromthis activism by the Indian state?

First, it would appear, India is not reluctantover the projection of force across borders.The architect of this activism, if press reportsare to be believed is Ajit Doval, the NationalSecurity Advisor to the government. Thismeans that India’s National Security doctrinehas undergone a radical shift and departure. Ithas shifted gears from being reactive toaggressive. The approach meshes and gelswith India’s aspirations for regional hegemo-ny.

Second, at the risk of repetition, it meansthat force is once again de rigeur in interna-tional relations. However, the major insightappears to be that regional hegemons or aspi-rational regional hegemons will take it uponthemselves to settle conflicts and disputeswithin the ambit of their respective regions.This would be a departure from past practiceof taking recourse to pleading with or seekinghelp from global powers for dispute settle-ment or conflict resolution. In this sense,force and power projection become the locusaround which states settle or arbiter their con-flicts and from a broader perspective and can-vas accrues from United States’ relativedecline and even quasi isolationism.

The third point that flows from this is the'security dilemma' and the attendant armsraces become prominent again. The securitydilemma is a spiral that accrues when onestate’s attempts to maximize security andpower induces the other state or states to dothe same. Arms racing are a natural concomi-tant to the security dilemma. The world or atleast the South Asian region is then back tosquare one. The region now risks being aheavily militarized region with potentialimplications for the alliance system(s) in theregion.

All this suggests a bleak future for the sub-continent. But the major consequences willbe between archrivals India and Pakistan.Will the Doval doctrine and the signalinginherent in it make Pakistan cower?

Unlikely is the answer. The Pakistani stateis primed for conflict with India. And towardthis end, Pakistan to gain parity with Indiahas acquired nuclear weapons. This neutral-izes India's superiority in conventional forcesand leads to a deterrence paradigm betweenthe two countries. So India is unlikely toreplicate the Myanmar experience withPakistan unless it wants to disturb and throwout of kilter the deterrence balance that holds.Disturbing this would axiomatically lead to anuclear conflagration in the region-a prospectthat rationality suggests both countries shouldshy away from. The statements emanatingfrom the Indian state’s defence establishmentthen are in the nature of rhetoric and postur-ing.

Or , in the least, one would hope that it ismere posturing. If , however, there is more tothe statements other than signaling, there arereasons for despair. The subcontinent will fallvictim to a more militarized rivalry and couldwell become the 'most dangerous place on theearth'. This is a condition that serves none andshould be averted. Prudence then dictates thatsobriety and a sense of proportion informsinter state relations both in the subcontinentand the world at large.

High alert...election is due soon.Sources said Doval, who will visit

Myanmar soon, will brief the Myanmareseleadership about the circumstances leading toIndia taking the bold step of ordering surgicalstrike against militants operating from thatcountry’s soil.

There have been reports that India informedMyanmar about the Army’s strike only aftercompletion of the operation and that upset theMyanmar leadership.

At least five such incidents of attempts totarget security forces have taken place since 4June, the sources said.

The top security brass emphasised the needfor both defensive and offensive steps to betaken in the wake of intelligence inputs thatmilitants were desperate to carry out somespectacular attacks in the northeast.

Bihar polls...(RLSP) chief and Union minister Upendra

Kushwaha also met Amit Shah in Delhitoday.

HAM spokesman Danish Rizwan hadinformed that Manjhi would meet EC and

claim "handpump" symbol for his new party.With RJD President Lalu Prasad who was

initially insisting on inclusion of Manjhi inbroad secular front accepting Nitish Kumaras CM candidate of the anti-BJP grouping,doors had been shut for Manjhi and he hadbeen left with the option either to go withBJP-led NDA or enter into fray alone.

Manjhi, who has emerged as a prominentdalit face in the Bihar poll, had three meet-ings with Prime Minister Narendra Modiindicating that he was inching closer to thesaffron party.

BJP chief Amit Shah and other party lead-ers have time and again said their options areopen for Bihar election and hinted contactwith Manjhi who could help them reach outto dalits constituting about 22 per cent of thepopulation in the state.

'Pak didn't ...used on Shab-e-Baraat?" he told Dunya

News."Don't attack us, don't challenge our territo-

rial integrity because we are not a smallpower, we're a major and nuclear power.Don't push us," 71-year-old Musharraf said.

"We should have self-confidence that their(Indian) dream to denuclearise Pakistan is notpossible. We won't let their end game materi-alise," he added.

Pakistan, which owns about 120 nuclearwarheads, has the fastest growing nuclearweapons programme in the world and by2020 it could have enough fissile material toproduce more than 200 nuclear devices,experts have said.

India has said it will not hesitate in goingbeyond its borders to eliminate terrorists, inan apparent warning to Pakistan.

Indian Army this week carried out a surgi-cal strike inside Myanmar, killing scores ofNaga insurgents.

Musharraf also asked Prime MinisterNawaz Sharif to respond to threats in hiscapacity.

Nitish-Lalu...harder now," Kushwaha told PTI, after his

meeting with Shah, when asked if the alliancebetween RJD and JD(U) had made their taskof winning Bihar more difficult.

BJP General Secretary Bhupendra Yadav,who is in charge of Bihar, and his predecessorand Union minister Dharmendra Pradhanwere also present during the meeting.

RLSP has been demanding 40-50 seats tocontest in Bihar.

Kushwaha, however, declined to commentover it, saying they did not discuss it.

"We discussed our strategy for theAssembly election. It was an initial talk," hesaid.

Even as talks were on, a RLSP leader saidKushwaha should be projected as the NDA'schief ministerial candidate to counter theRJD-JD(U) alliance's wide appeal among thebackward castes.

"Kushwahaji is a credible face. He cancounter the social justice plank of RJD andJD(U) which BJP cannot," party's secretarygeneral Shivraj Singh claimed.

Kushwaha comes from Koeri community, abackward caste, and had worked with NitishKumar before they parted ways.

With Kumar being projected as the chiefministerial face of the 'Janata Parivar'alliance, pressure has mounted on the BJP todeclare its leader as well.

Former Bihar deputy chief minister SushilKumar Modi is seen as a natural choice eventhough a section of state functionaries isagainst him.

PM Modi...called for leveraging the huge interest that

Swachh Bharat has generated among theIndian diaspora.

The meeting was attended by top officers ofthe Ministries of Urban Development,Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation, NITIAayog and PMO.

Urban Development Minister VenkaiahNaidu and Rural Development MinisterChaudhary Birender Singh were also presentduring the meeting.

Isolated al...after being ripped apart by the Islamic State

(ISIS)," the Guardian newspaper reported,quoting two of the terror group's most impor-tant spiritual leaders.

Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, regarded asthe most influential jihadi scholar alive, toldthe paper that Zawahiri "operates solelybased on the allegiance. There is no organisa-tional structure. There is only communicationchannels and loyalty."

Maqdisi counts 63-year-old Zawahiri as apersonal friend.

Zawahiri, who became al Qaeda chief afterthe killing of Osama bin Laden by the USspecial forces in May 2011, carries a USD 25million reward on his head.

Another radical preacher Abu Qatada, aJordanian who was based in London beforebeing deported in 2013, said Zawahiri is "iso-lated" and admitted that ISIS have been win-ning the propaganda and ground war againstal Qaeda.

Qatada, described by the British govern-ment as a "truly dangerous individual", saidISIS members were extremists and a "cancer"growing within the jihadi movement follow-ing their assault on al Qaeda over the last twoyears.

ISIS is an al Qaeda splinter group and it hasseized hundreds of square miles in Iraq andSyria.

Al Qaeda has distanced itself from thegroup, chiding it for its lack of teamwork inits aggressive, brutal expansion.

ISIS leaders have described al Qaeda as a"drowned entity" and declared that they willnot tolerate any other jihadi group in territorywhere they are operating. The group led byAbu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a former al Qaedacommander in Iraq, has gone on to build aglobal network of affiliates and branches thatnow stretches from Afghanistan to WestAfrica.

The paper said that over the past year, agroup of junior and mid-level analysts haveconcluded that ISIS advances have pushed alQaeda to the margins of global jihad.

The donations for al Qaeda, which oncecame in waves of "hundreds of thousands",have dried up as donors directed their moneyto ISIS, the paper said another report.

Citing a former al Qaeda member, the papersaid that one of his sources in Pakistan's trib-al areas said the finances of al Qaeda centralin Waziristan were so desperate that it wasreduced at one point last year to selling itslaptops and cars to buy food and pay rent.

Quoting a series of interviews with seniorjihadi ideologues, the paper said that ISIS hassuccessfully launched "a coup" against alQaeda to destroy it from within.

"As a consequence, they now admit, alQaeda - as an idea and an organisation - isnow on the verge of collapse," it added.

Myanmar operation...group's candidate Vijay Patil, are in the fray

to contest for the president's post."They are only dummy nominations," said

a member of the ruling Bal Mahaddalkargroup, which is supporting Pawar, regardingthe nominations filed by outgoing vice presi-dent Ravi Savant and Shelar.

With June 13 designated as the deadline forwithdrawal of nominations, Savant andShelar are expected to drop out of the frayleaving Pawar in a straight fight against Patil,who is leading the "Cricket First" group inthe elections.

Two killed...wine was being transported for sale in his

area. He asked his men to find out the move-ment of the illegal consignment, CitySuperintendent of Police Vikram Singh toldPTI.

The liquor contractor's men left in a jeepand then dispersed in search of the consign-ment last night. After some time, they feltthirsty. To drink water, they stopped and gotdown at a hut in Bedpura Bajari village underNalcha police station limits, where some chil-dren were playing, Singh said.

Suspecting the men to be child-lifters, near-ly 300-400 villagers chased them with 'lathis'(wooden sticks), he said.

The liquor contractor's men ran and in a bidto escape from being attacked by the vil-lagers, two of them fell in a gorge and died,he said.

The villagers caught hold of five other per-sons and thrashed them, injuring them badly,the SP said.

QUIZ TIME

Answer: 1(D), 2(D), 3(C), 4(C)

TODAY’S STARARIES You may be in a difficult position, Aries, as a critical part of a pend-

ing decision. Your first reaction may be to throw up your hands andleave the decision to someone else. Making a choice is too tough,so you find that you'd rather not have to make it at all. Unfortunately,it looks like everyone else has the same idea. Deep down, you havean opinion that needs to be heard.

TAURUS Your self-esteem should be strong these days, Taurus, helping youbuild more confidence in yourself every day. There may be a glitchin the action today, however, as someone with an extreme perspec-tive on things suddenly steps into the picture. Your emotions maysuddenly swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. Do yourbest to stay calm.

GEMINI A ray of sunshine is likely to shine on you, Gemini. Things may have beencloudy lately, making it harder for you to maintain a positive disposition.Today's news will be uplifting, and you will likely be reminded of all the goodtimes in store for you. Others may feel a bit of stress, but you should be ableto see through this and appreciate the benefits of the situation.

CANCER Recent hesitation on your part may have suddenly put you in a bind, Cancer. Itmay feel like you've reached gridlock and your choices are limited. You can nolonger get a solid handle on things. Instead of trying to make a move now, youmay have to wait until the dust settles and you can see clearly again. Let the sit-uation release before you add any more friction.

LEO There are powerful forces operating now, Leo. Whether you realize it or not, youhave tremendous control over the direction of these energies. Take control of thesituation instead of letting someone else do it for you. You will find that other peo-ple are more malleable than usual, making them quite willing to move forward inwhatever direction you point them.

VIRGO If conflict arises in your world, Virgo, you must keep in mind thatthere is no one else to blame except you. Keeping your sights seton one goal is useful as you concentrate all your energy towardthat one thing. At the same time, you may be losing perspective onwhat's going on around you. Make sure you continue to be a teamplayer by keeping an eye out for the people in the wings.

LIBRA Life may seem like a great train ride, Libra. You have yourown little compartment that you're striving to keep comfort-able and neat. The company you keep is important, as isyour proximity to the food car. Be careful that you don't getso wrapped up in your own little world that you neglect topay heed to where the train is headed.

SCORPIO You need to learn an important lesson in follow-through, Scorpio.As you strive for perfection, you may get the feeling that nothing isever fully completed. Try not to be so hard on yourself. The workyou've finished so far is more than likely much better than whatmost people could ever accomplish. Put the final touches on what-ever you're doing and move on.

SAGITTARIUS Most of the time you deal with the facts, Sagittarius. Facts are thingsyou can grasp, categorize, and make rational sense of. Unfortunately,today some of your facts may be challenged by one of the things youfear most - intense emotions. The ensuing friction is like dealing withapples and oranges. You may find it hard to find any common groundfrom which to negotiate.

CAPRICORN You may be hit with some extreme circumstances that causeyou to feel uneasy about continuing along your path, Capricorn.Use this jolt as a reminder that nothing is set in stone. An ele-ment of the unexpected can always creep up on you. Deepdown, you probably had a feeling that this difficult situation wasbound to happen eventually.

AQUARIUS You may feel like you're on a road to adventure and excited aboutthe frontiers you're encountering, Aquarius. Unfortunately, itseems that not everyone is as excited about this path as you are.Blows to your ego are apt to hit hard, but try not to let this deteryou. This is more than likely a result of other people's jealousy ofyour incredible strength and bravery.

PISCES There's a tremendously sensitive side to your personality that's tenderand extremely vulnerable, Pisces. Be careful about putting too muchof yourself out there now. By opening yourself up so much, you're invit-ing in trouble. Others might not be that aware of how sensitive you are.Those with strong, boisterous spirits are likely to be abrasive, so pro-tect your emotions.

On a directive fromthe PrimeMinister's Office,

local authorities in thenational capital have beenasked to help telecom oper-ators set up necessaryinfrastructure like mobiletowers, to overcome themenace of call-drops, espe-cially in hospitals.

"It has been brought tothe notice of this office thatpatients and other visitors

to hospitals, particularly inDelhi, are finding it diffi-cult to communicatethrough mobiles due topoor connectivity," said aPMO note to theDepartment ofTelecommunications.

As a follow-up, a memofrom the telecom depart-ment has not only desiredthat hospital authoritiespermit telecom serviceproviders (TSPs) to install

base towers and otherinfrastructure, but alsocharge nominal rates, with-out treating the process as ameans for revenue genera-tion. "Hospital authoritiesshould readily permit allthe TSPs on equal terms toinstall the necessary tele-com equipments in the hos-pital premises so that allthe visitors to hospitals,having mobile phones fromany of the operators, would

get proper coverage," thememo has said. Reacting tothe development, Rajan S.Mathews, director general,Cellular Operators'Association of India(COAI) told IANS that theonly way the problem ofpoor connectivity can besolved is when state gov-ernments say it is okay toput up cell towers near thehospitals. "But some stategovernment like Rajasthando not allow towers nearhospitals and school,"Mathews said, adding: "Westrictly follow the guide-lines for mobile towers.They do not restrict tele-com companies frominstalling these towers nearschools or hospitals."

In its directive based onthe PMO memo, the tele-com department also madesome observations. "As thehospital premises are gen-erally large and the build-ing structures are complex,indoor coverage issues inhospitals are inevitable.Installation of in-buildingsolutions (IBSs) within thehospital buildings is themost effective method toimprove indoor coverage.

On PMO Call Drop Concern, HospitalsTold to Permit Mobile Towers

An international space trioclimbed into a Russian Soyuzspacecraft on Thursday and

left the International Space Stationafter 199 full days in orbit to begintheir delayed return to Earth, NasaTelevision showed.

Expedition 43 Commander TerryVirts of Nasa, Samantha Cristoforettiof the European Space Agency andRussian cosmonaut AntonShkaplerov gave a hearty hug tothree crewmen remaining aboard theISS before sealing themselves intothe Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraftshortly after 0700 GMT.

Three hours later the Soyuzundocked from the Rassvet moduleat the $100 billion (roughly Rs.6,39,868 crores) space outpost, aim-ing to land in central Kazakhstan at1943 local time (1343 GMT).

"All Soyuz systems are operatingin excellent fashion. No issues what-soever at this stage," Russia'sMission Control near Moscowreported as the spacecraft floated

away from the ISS.The crew's departure left Russian

cosmonauts Gennady Padalka andMikhail Kornienko and Nasa astro-naut Scott Kelly on their own until atleast July 23, when cosmonaut OlegKononenko, Nasa's Kjell Lindgrenand Japan's Kimiya Yui are due tolaunch. Kornienko and Kelly areabout 2.5 months into a planned year-long stay on the station, a first for the15-nation programme. Nasa is cur-rently interested in accumulatingmedical data about long-term effectsof microgravity in a space station asit lays the groundwork for eventualhuman missions to Mars.

Virts, 47, who had one previousspace shuttle mission before flying tothe space station last November,turned over command of the stationto Padalka, 56.

Padalka, the first four-time ISScommander, will return to Earth inSeptember after a cumulative total ofsome 878 days in orbit, more thanany other person. "No matter how

many flights you have it's always like... a first flight," Padalka said duringthe ceremony, broadcast by Nasa."Hopefully, everything will be asscheduled and we'll be looking for-ward to meeting the next crew."

The launch of the station's nextcrew, which had been slated for lateMay, was postponed for two monthsdue to questions about the RussianSoyuz rocket used to carry the pas-senger capsule into orbit.

A different version of the rocketfailed to deliver a Progress cargocraft on April 28, and harmlessly fellinto the Pacific Ocean in early May.

As a precaution, Russia delayed thelaunch of the new crew and kept thecurrent team in orbit for an extramonth to minimize the amount oftime the station would be half-staffed. The belated homecomingleaves Cristoforetti as the newrecord-holder for the single longestspaceflight by a woman, eclipsingNasa's Sunita William's 195-dayflight in 2006-2007.

Let's be patient with ViratKohli: Rahul Dravid

BENGALURUFormer India captain

Rahul Dravid feels thatVirat Kohli needs to begiven enough time to set-tle as the leader of thepack in Test cricket andthe upcoming homeengagements will helphim establish well.

"India will be playing alot many home series inthe span of two-and-a-halfyears, which is going to bea good chance for them toestablish themselves. Itwill give Virat Kohli asTest captain the time tosettle, and I think he needstime. We need to bepatient with Virat, need togive him time and allow

him to grow in his role,"Dravid said at an eventorganised by P&GShiksha.

India has started off wellagainst Bangladesh butdisappointingly they havenot been able to play a lotof cricket, Dravid said.

Dravid, who will coachIndia A and U-19 teams,said the youngsters willget an opportunity toimpress the selectors inthe upcoming series.

"Youngsters - selectedfor India A and U-19 team- will get chance to exhib-it their talents and forceselectors to take note oftheir performances incoming series," he said.

India A is preparing fora home series againstAustralia A and SouthAfrica A in July andAugust.

Dravid said for thecoaching role as it giveshim an opportunity to helpthe young players.

Asked about the newadvisory panel's recom-mendation of increasingthe overseas trips of juniorteams and organisingtours a year earlier incountries where the seniorteam are scheduled to playa major tournament orseries, Dravid said, "It is aquestion of managing theschedule and managingthe time frame - the chal-

lenge before us is wheredo you play in this time ofthe year."

However, the ideal timefor India A and U-19teams would be to playjust after IPL or before thestart of domestic season,Dravid added.

Earlier interacting withP&G students, Dravid saidhis favourite subject as astudent was history andchemistry, but was poor inmaths.

Replying to a query, hesaid Sunil Gavaskar andKapil Dev were his schooldays heroes and cherishedthe moments when heplayed cricket at hisschool.

NEW DELHIHaving watched Virat

Kohli lead RoyalChallengers Bangalorefrom close quarters, WestIndies' T20 captain DarrenSammy feels that the dash-ing batsman "loves to leadby example" which is incontrast to his predecessorMahendra Singh Dhoni's"quiet way" of functioning.

"Virat loves to beinvolved in the game everymoment while MahendraSingh Dhoni's style offunctioning was to quietlydo his things without say-ing much. Both are con-trasting styles of captaincybut can be equally benefi-cial for the Indian cricketteam," Sammy, who was apart of RCB in the last IPL,told PTI in an interaction,today.

What Sammy liked dur-ing his seven-week stint atRCB was Kohli's "passion"which makes the Indianstand out in the pack.

"Everyone knows Virat isa superb batsman and he

has the ability to lead byexample. He has thataggressive intent and wantsto win matches. If he canbring that same passionand intent in his leadershipfor India as he does for theRCB, then it will be a greatthing.

"But this is for sure thathe will bring his own dis-tinct style. I wish him allthe best for the ongoing

Bangladesh series,"Sammy, the World T20winning West Indies skip-per said.

Sammy did not have agreat IPL as he got to playonly two matches but he isnow getting ready to leadthe St Lucia Zouks in theupcoming CaribbeanPremier League.

"It was disappointing(playing only two matches

in IPL). I was strugglingwith a shoulder injury atthat time. But after that Ihad a decent few matcheswith Nottinghamshire inthe English T20 champi-onship and I am now look-ing forward to the CPL.With a player like Kevin(Pietersen) in our side, wehope to do better than whatwe did last time," saidSammy.

The 53-year-oldwas paid Rs 4 crore-a-year by the BCCIfor his role as a TVcommentator andhad a Rs 6 crore-a-year contract asteam director.

Duncan Fletcher,whose tenure withthe Indian teamended after the ICC

Cricket World Cup2015, was beingpaid Rs 4.5 crore bythe BCCI.

The BCCI is like-ly to announce thename of the new

income is taxable in India.The tax issue and red tapesurrounding the eventeventually led to the racebeing dropped after three

editions. Gaur said hecould only talk about thepossible return date for theIndian Grand Prix once thecourt decides on the case.

"It is very difficult for meto predict. It could be 2016if the case is decided intime else we will have tolook at 2017. It all dependson the outcome of the case.

"The issue basically is onthe tax liability of theFormula One Group,whether they have to paytax here in India or inEngland, mainly coveringthe income generated fromlicensing fee and income ofthe teams and drivers," hesaid when asked about thepressing problem for therace.

And ifit happens, I will make it,"Remo said in an interviewhere. Remo said he hasHrithik Roshan in his mindfor the film and is lookingfor a Hollywood face to

play the female lead."I have Hrithik Roshan

in mind. For actress, I haveto cast somebody fromHollywood. It will be theonly film that will have nodance but only action,"Remo said.

"I would love to makeMadhuri Dixit dance. If Ido a film with her, it defi-nitely has to be a 'MadhuriDixit-film'. I don't want tocast her in a small role. Iwill do a full- fledged

dance film with her," hesaid.

"There are some ideas inmind right now, but let'ssee how it shapes up. Forlast four years I am sittingwith her (referring to judg-ing dance reality show'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa') andwe chat and talk about it.She says whenever you areready with it, please let meknow."

Days after lead wasfound in instantfood Maggi that

had raised concerns overpacked food items, ananalysis of blood samplescollected over a period ofone year from across thecountry has revealed thatover 23 per cent of the totalsamples tested positivewith lead poisoning.

According to a WHOstudy, lead exposure is esti-mated to account for1,43,000 deaths per yearwith the highest burden indeveloping regions.

Recently, popular noo-dles 'Maggi' has comeunder regulatory scannerafter samples collected invarious parts of the countrywere found containingadded monosodium gluta-mate (MSG) and lead inexcess of the permissiblelimit and its sale banned inmany states.

"A pan-India analysis of733 blood samples collect-ed over last one year hasrevealed that 23.47 percent (172 samples) of thetotal samples tested posi-tive with Lead poisoning,"Dr Sandeep Warghade,Consulting PathologistMetropolis Healthcare told

reporters here.Lead poisoning is a

cumulative toxicant, par-ticularly harmful to youngchildren and can affectmultiple body systems, hesaid.

The analysis was doneby the MetropolisHealthcare.

He said lead poisoning istested using high sensitivi-ty technology called

ICPMS (InductivelyCoupled Plasma MassSpectrometry) andGraphite Furnace Atomicabsorption spectrometry.Blood, serum and urinesamples can also be testedfor lead.

In growing children, itcauses low IQ, hyperactiv-ity, attention deficit, learn-ing disabilities andanaemia, he said.

"Lead poisoning can behard to detect even peoplewho look healthy can havehigh levels of lead. At highlevels of exposure, leaddamages the brain and cen-tral nervous system andcan lead to coma, convul-sions and even death.Signs and symptoms oflead poisoning usuallydon't appear until danger-ous amounts have accumu-

lated," Warghade added.He said major sources of

blood lead include leadedcontaminated soil, drink-ing water, petrol emissions,household dust, batteryrecycling, silver refining,paints (especially yellow),pigments, printing presses,ceramic pottery glazes,cosmetics, colours (includ-ing vermilion, spices, Holicolours), crayons andpainted pencils, plantfoods.

Warghade cautioned thatlead poisoning cases inyoung children are high asthey tend to lick or eatlead-containing paint whenit peels off the walls orwhile playing with toys.

Lead from a mother'sblood can pass to the foe-tus during pregnancy, pos-sibly giving rise to geneticdisorders.

"Exposure of pregnantwomen to high levels oflead can cause miscarriage,stillbirth, premature birthand low birth weight, aswell as minor malforma-tions. Women with highblood lead levels developearly osteoporosis, lowerbackache, joint pain andpersistent anaemia," hesaid

It all started in 1992,when Steven Spielbergbrought the extinct

dinosaurs back to life withJurassic Park, which laterwent on to become a cultclassic. Today, after 22 yearsand three part later, the

world is about to witness thelatest installment of JurassicPark series. As JurassicWorld hits screens today, Itell you why you absolutelycan’t afford to miss this one:

Year’s back we sawRichard Attenborough aka

John Hammond’s vision ofJurassic Park as he broughtdinosuars to life. Now getready to see a new worldfrom the eye of the new cre-ator. Irrfan Khan plays thenew owner of the park thatwas shut down back in 1993

in the previous movieJurassic park, Jurassic Worldis made as a direct sequel ofthe 20 year old movie. It hasa new creation and a newideology altogether by thenew creator/owner SimonMasrani. Other than fact thatour very own Irrfan Khan isplaying such a importantrole, it would be great fun tosee how the park turns out tobe from his perspective.

Years back when we sawJurassic park , it was aunfolding mystery experi-ence for the audience whowere keen on knowing howdinosaurs existed millions ofyears ago. Now that we havegained more knowledgeabout these giant creaturesby watching numerous doc-umentaries, the film prom-ises to give us a glimpse of adinosaur’s psyche ratherthan just showing them asferocious creatures.

5 reasons why Jurassic World isa must watch this weekend!
