The Supreme Court on Monday blasted the Ma-dras Bar association and the Bar Council for keep-ing mum on the recent violence by lawyers on the Madras High Court premises.

As 22-year-old politician Hardik Patel sought over the weekend to escalate his agitation for quota in government jobs and colleges for Gujarat’s wealthy Pa-tel community, the Rashtriya Swayam-sevak Sangh or RSS has suggested a review of the country’s reservation policy. Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the RSS, which is the ideological mentor of the ruling BJP, said quota has for years been used as a political tool and suggested that a committee made up

of members who are “committed for social equality,” be set up to examine who needs the benefit of reservation and for how long. “The non-political committee like autonomous commis-sions should be the implementation authority; political authorities should supervise them for honesty and integ-rity,” he told RSS magazines ‘Organ-iser’ and ‘Panchjanya’ in an interview. It was with considerable shock and awe that long time watchers – both, critics and admirers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) – heard

Two labourers trapped more than 40 metres underground for over a week in Himachal Pradesh’s Bilaspur dis-trict were rescued on Monday, bringing relief to their worried fami-lies after a long, tiring operation that suffered many setbacks. Satish Tomar and Mani Ram were brought out by a National Disaster Re-sponse Force (NDRF) team around 4:30pm, nine days after they got trapped following a tun-nel collapse. Search is on for Hirday Ram, the third worker who was with the duo. His fate is uncertain since there has been no contact with him so far.

Venugopal appearing for the High Court Registrar said. Mr. Venugopal ap-prised the Bench led by Chief Justice Dattu of the recent spate of vio-lence by lawyers against judges. Mr. Venugopal suggested the Bench

to send three Supreme Court judges to the Ma-dras High Court for an enquiry. To which, the CJI said: “Let’s give the CJ sometime. Sending judges from here will create more unnecessar-ily problems.” Madras High Court witnessed violent protests by law-yers after a Division Bench initiated suo motu contempt proceedings against two advocates of Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.

The two labourers were rescued after being trapped in a tunnel for 9 days in Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh.Company were trapped in Tunnel Number 4 be-ing built for the Kirat-pur-Nerchowk four-lane project after a cave-in blocked the entrance with tonnes of earth and boul-ders. The 1.2-kilometre tunnel, a project worth Rs 82 crore, had been dug 275 metres when

it collapsed 80 metres from the mouth. Rescuers first made contact with Satish Tomar and Mani Ram on September 17, and food and water were dropped during the week after engineers drilled a thin 47-metre (154-foot) shaft down to the roof of the tunnel. On Monday

morning, an NDRF team made some significant progress in the drilling work on the collapsed tunnel. But, soon rescuers understood that the open-ing was not big enough to bring out the workers. Af-ter more drilling, the final effort was launched in the afternoon.

The Bombay High Court on Monday refused to stay the ban on sale and consumption of beef for the Islamic festival of Eid-ul-Azha, which will be celebrated on September 25. A petition had asked the court to relax the ban on slaughter of bulls and sale of its meat temporar-ily for three days for Eid. In a controversial order, the BJP government in Maharashtra had banned beef in March this year, followed soon by another BJP-ruled state, Haryana. Many other states includ-ing Gujarat and Chhattis-

Bombay High Court refuses to stay beef ban

garh and cities like Mum-bai and its suburbs have recently introduced tem-porary bans on sale and possession of meat for varying number of days in respect of Paryushan, a Jain fasting season. The ban on beef comes even as India has emerged as

the world’s top exporter of beef since last year. As per data released by the US Department of Agriculture in April this year, India has doubled its beef export from 1.26 million tonnes in 2011-12 to 2.40 million tonnes in 2014-15.

the Sarsanghchalak say at a book release on September 8, 2014, “We support reservation. Till the time there is inequal-ity in the society, reser-vation is needed.” This goes against the grain of what have been core RSS principles and ob-jectives. Now, with Mo-han Bhagwat, head of the RSS calling for a “review” of the reserva-tion policy, in the latest Panchajanya magazine issue – and restating old RSS positions, what has changed for the Sangh between the two Sep-tembers? Perhaps Bhag-wat should follow his advice to other people: not use the quota policy for “political purposes”.

In the first flush of the Modi government com-ing to power in 2014 with a very impressive performance – emerging as the unquestioned po-litical formation in north India – there was a sense of the ‘end of history’ moment which was re-flected in the RSS want-ing to firmly entrench itself in the system. Critics say this form of RSS-Hinduism, is a po-litical project. This, like other such movements around the world, takes a narrow identity to mean ‘nationality’. Caste-based reservations have been resisted bitterly by the RSS in the past, as they acknowledge social discrimination as coded

into the Indian social system and it allows for more than one iden-tity to flower. Alarmed by the way the Mandal movement in the 1980s damaged its push in the Hindi heartland, there was a bid to co-opt the so-called lower castes and tribals into its fold. Getting them to accept a RSS-view of a mostly upper-caste framework of One India and pit them against the Muslims and Christians had been the objective and the as-sessment in September 2014. It seemed that it could be successful if a face was put up of ‘tol-erating’ reservation for those who are entitled to it. Now, as the Patidar unrest on reservation continues to simmer in Gujarat, the local admin-istration have found it necessary to disable the internet for law and or-der has been threatened and economic recession and unemployment give the impression of a Gu-jarat that is unraveling. When the most loyal of the powerful and landed

groups, the Patels feel economically embattled and are hitting out at res-ervation for the OBCs, it has become imperative for the RSS to remind its core base what it origi-nally stood for and to ensure that the Patels do not end up exiting the parivar fold. Over the past 40 years, there were at least two instances which proved to be po-litically momentous: in 1974 when the nav-nir-man agitation provided the anti-Congress forces a pivot and then in the mid-1980s when again, the anti-reservation movement turned the tide for the Sangh Pari-var forces. If the Patel agitation is allowed to continue without com-ment, the unintended consequence can be the game turning against the BJP which has kept an iron grip on the state for almost two decades. Mohan Bhagwat under-stands that. He does not want to let the Patels forget what the RSS and its affiliates in politics actually stand for.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYA Glitch In The ModelFriends from all over the world had been sending messages, asking if it was true that the finance minis-try was taking away the central bank’s power to use the bank rate as an instrument of monetary policy. The RBI governor, whom we expected would take a firm stand since interest rates and debt management are not just prosaic activities in macro policymaking but the heart of monetary policy, was correctly apprecia-tive of the need for a monetary policy committee, but was willing, apparently, to give up the present role of his office in it. He did, however, make the point that the final say would be of the governor since he would have a casting vote. Arvind Panagariya has raised the level of the policy debate by laying on the table the issue of the growth rate and land-use policies. It is correct to state that an annual growth rate of 8 per cent-plus is feasible. The question is how? Investment levels have been falling since 2012, as also in each quarter this year. Yes, GDP growth is robust accord-ing to the new numbers, but we are not sure why. We do know that the manufacturing sector is not flying as the latest releases show. The handling of labour-relat-ed issues will be this government’s acid test. Finally, as we showed with a small model in our book, The Future of Indian Agriculture, trade shares will have to rise to 4 per cent of GDP. This has already happened, although there could possibly be some slippage this year. India needs a land-use plan to temper the pres-ent chaos and corruption in land markets. The govern-ment has wisely given up the attempt to go back to the bad old colonial ways. Corporates will have to pay the price for land. It makes sense to insist on this in a liberalising regime. Spatial planning may be needed since transport infrastructure leads to locational ad-vantages and agglomeration effects. The movement of millions of Indians to Census Towns has been a preoccupation, but this project hasn’t been mirrored in policy. The 100 smart cities are not going to be smart enough to connect with the kisan as he moves to sell his wares in a growing economy. Companies will want land close to centres of demand or resource requirements, even if it is good agricultural land. A land-use plan would send these companies to barren land with good transport links. Also, powerful corpo-rations may not like them, for land-use plans take time to yield market benefits, and land is, after all, also an asset in the short run. Our objective is certainly not to discourage industrial growth. A year ago, 1,000 trac-tors descended on Gandhinagar from an area called the Chuwal, the land of 44 villages, which Kanaiyalal Munshi had immortalised in Patan ni Prabhuta. Their leader was Lalji Desai.

Batti didn’t do justice to her acting prowess as she was merely reduced to being another supporting character. She played the cranky, over-the-top Pay-al with utmost effort but

the shoddy story line and the half baked character could hardly do anything for her. Instead, it was Imran’s character that was portrayed in a much better fashion.

Indian telecom major Bharti Airtel has moved all its pre-paid subscribers across the country to pay-per-second, ensuring customers pay only for the time they use the network. The move comes amid regulator TRAI examining whether there are any tariff plans by the service providers wherein call drops actually incentivise or benefit the compa-nies. “... starting today it will move all its pre-paid mobile customers nationally to the more affordable per-second bill plan... this will help ensure custom-ers pay only for the time they use the Airtel net-work,” the company said in a statement. Pre-paid customers constitute 94.4 percent of its total user base at the end of June 2015. With call drops on the rise, Telecom Secretary Rakesh Garg had also said plans where customers get some free minutes and the billing is minute-based need to be examined. Bharti Airtel (India and South Asia) MD and CEO Gopal Vittal recently said about 95 percent plans are second-based, so they don’t earn anything if a call gets dropped.

Shares in German auto giant Volkswagen plum-meted more than 20 per cent on Monday after it emerged that nearly half a million of its diesel cars in the United States had been fitted with software that falsified emissions data. By late morning on the Frankfurt stock exchange, VW shares had fallen by more than 20 per cent to 126.35 euros, dragging down the entire market. The scandal, which came to light on Friday, could lead to financial fines of up to $18 billion for the carmaker as well as threat-ening the brand’s image in the United States and the rest of the world. It is unknown how far the scandal may spread. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said the country will conduct emissions tests on three Volkswagen car models in mid-Octo-ber to check for similar deception.

The aggregator integrated a cloud tele-phony solution, which sends an encrypted number to the driver whenever a customer books a cab. Drivers calling from their Ola device will not be able to see the customer’s mobile number but will automatically be routed through the encrypted number, the company said in a release. The num-ber masking feature is active for driver-partners in all cities where Ola operates, it added. With this, calls made by the driver-partners can be traced by Ola from archived recordings at all times, Ola said. The company’s driver-partners will not bear the cost of calls made to customers, since they would be routed directly through the device, the firm said and claimed that this was a first of its kind step in the industry towards ensuring com-plete privacy of user’s contact details.

Gujarat’s Minister of State for Home Rajnikant Patel the Patidar agitation and the resistance to it by some OBC groups was posing a grave threat to the law and order situa-tion in the state. “The law and order situation has been threatened. In the past, state saw caste con-flicts out of similar situ-ation. Gujarat has flour-ished and developed in last decade under the feel-ing of security. Conflicts should be avoided to con-tinue our progress,’’ Patel said. While admitting that the Patidars were “hurt”, Patel — who has been

the target of the Patidar Anamat Aandolan Samiti (PAAS) after a violent po-lice crackdown — insist-ed that neither the home department nor the police had ordered the August 25 lathicharge in Ahmed-abad. “Somewhere the issue of admissions and jobs has been hurting them’’, said Patel, who represents Bahucharaji constituency. “There are some problems the Pati-dars are facing due to the reservation system, but in the agitation it has been unnecessarily magnified. Like they say that Pati-dars with 90 per cent do not get admissions, which

is not correct…even if there are more problems, the government is ready to provide education package as well as new institutions’’. Patel was the first minister target-ed by the mob when his residence was torched in Mehsana city on the night of August 25. Last week, he was chased out of a public function by pro-testing Patidar women. On September 16, PAAS convenor Hardik Patel demanded his resigna-tion within 10 days ques-tioning his absence at the outfit’s first ever meeting with the Gujarat CM on September 14.

The colourful and vivid-ly detailed pata or ban-ners of Jainism date back to 14th and 15th centu-ries when they were used as visual representation of mysticism (tantric), lives of Tirthankara, to provide an idea about the world around (cosmol-ogy), describe a place or pilgrimage spot and send invitation (vijnyap-tipatra). These scrolls not only have religious significance but also his-

torical importance as it contains invaluable in-formation about an era in which they were pre-pared. Researchers Dr Shridhar Andhare and late Lakshman Bhojak have compiled over 170 such pata and analyzed it in book ‘Jain Vastrapatas: Jain Paintings on Cloth and Paper’ published by LD Institute of Indology and two other city-based trusts. The book was re-leased on Sunday at LD Institute. “The book covers some of the fin-

est examples from the LD Institute repository such as Nandishward-wipa pata dating back to 1450 and an imagery of Loka Purusha on an 8-feet long scroll,” said Andhare. The art of pre-paring elaborate scrolls, according to the book, flourished around 17th century in Gujarat. The book includes a couple of important Tirtha pata dating back to 1641 pre-pared in Ahmedabad at the behest of Sheth Shan-tidas Zaveri.

The Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) on Mon-day arrested a hus-band-wife duo, suspected to be main conspirators, for attacks on witness-es in rape cases against self-styled godman Asaram Bapu and his son Narayan Sai who are be-hind the bars for the past two years. The police said the duo was arrested from Bengaluru and are being questioned. Deputy Commissioner of Police,

DCB, Deepan Bhadran said that Vasavraj alias Vasu, a resident of Bi-japur in Karnataka and his wife Sejal Mahesh Prajapati, originally from Daman, were arrest-ed from Bangaluru last night. Bhadran said both the accused are involved in four incidents of at-tack in Gujarat and pos-sibly linked to the murder of Amrut Prajapati who was shot dead in Rajkot. He said that Vasu and his wife are among the core sadhak or followers of

Asaram. Besides the po-lice have also identified 15 other accused. Ahmed-abad commissioner of po-lice Shivanand Jha said that the attacks were part of a conspiracy to de-rail the investigation of rape cases lodged against Asaram and his son Sai. He said that many more facts of the case will be revealed in further inves-tigation such as hiring sharp shooters who tar-geted the witnesses. Se-jal, in her early 20s, and Vasu, in late 30s, fell in

love at Asaram’s motera Ashram in 2012 and got married. The couple runs a cable network business back in Bijapur. Police said that Vasu, Sejal and 15 others conspired to “teach a lesson” to those who testified against the father-son duo soon after their arrests in 2013 in separate rape cases. The DCB has identified a total of 17 accused allegedly involved in all the attacks that occurred in Gujarat including Ahmedabad and Surat.

rainfall since Friday over the entire state to the deep depression over Vidarbha region that has resulted in a low pressure area over Saurashtra and neigh-bouring areas. This, along with upper air cyclonic circulation, has result-ed in heavy rainfall over

Saurashtra and South Gujarat. The Ahmedabad centre of IMD has is-sued a warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall for the entire state for Mon-day and Tuesday. Rainfall of varying intensity has been forecast in the state for the next five days.
