THE TIMES OF LEAGUEA Harmony of Hearts Monthly

A pril 13, Wednesday is the Tamil Nadu Assembly election day.The people of Tamil Nadu decide on April 13 that who will rule thestate for the next 5 years. The verdict comes out everyones mouth thatDr.Kalaingar will become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the sixthtime.

Peoples tongue rolls, heart hymns. There is a ood of people. Thewarm breeze favourable to the DMK alliance sweeps across the 234constituencies.

Everyone talks about the grandeur of Kalaingar rule in the peacepervading garden of Tamil Nadu.

His adversaries acknowledge by the dictates of their conscience thatthe benevolence of Kalaingars rule and wholeheartedly compliment him.It is not because that the Kalaignar is the leader of DMK and democraticprogressive alliance that we praise him. It is neither our custom norculture to talk what is not facts.

All the leaders undoubtedly accept that Kalaingar is an unique leader.Ripened in age and wisdom, he lives among us as a moving encyclopedia.He is shrewd, intelligent and tactful democrat.

He is a civilized politician and he is a think-tank endowed with thecapability of attracting even his opponents to his side.

He knows the minute details of the problems of Tamil Nadu and as aguiding diplomat he nds solutions through experience. Above all, he is a great leader who re ects the history of Tamil Nadu,

literature, language, culture and heritage.He stands foremost to solve the problems of minorities whether they

are Muslims, Christians or any other class of people and he respectstheir feelings and accepts their reasonable demands.

Under his benevolent rule, the relation between the centre and thestate has been re ned, the state has bene ted and the centre has gainedstrength.

Due to his benevolent rule, Tamil Nadu has become a good modelstate in all the elds for all other states in India. If this benevolentrule continues bene ts will continue to reach to each and every homein Tamil Nadu. Happiness will grow in the hearts of the poor. All will

progress happily. Victory with huge margin for democratic progressive alliance in all

the 234 constituencies will be certain. Tamil Nadu will continue to enjoygood governance. That is the hope of everyone.

Hard work is essential to translate the hope into action. The allianceleaders from every district have been sending the message that theIndian Union Muslim League workers are toiling hard for the victory of the alliance candidates.

Our heart lls with joy to hear the message. Tamil Nadu Muslimcommunity on December 11, 2010 had taken a decision in the IUMLconference and the same was announced to the public.

The conference declared that the minorities had resolved to work forthe continuance of the DMK rule in Tamil Nadu.

April 13, 2011 is the day for implementing the declaration.

2. This is the Book;

In it is guidance sure, withoutdoubt, To those who fear

Allah;

3. Who believe in the Unseem

Are steadfast in prayer, And spend out of what we

Have provided for them;

4. And who believe in theRevelation Sent to thee,

And sent before thy time,

And(in their hearts)

Gave the assurance of theHereafter.

Sayings of theProphet (Sal)

Ibn Masoon has narratedthat

Allahs messenger has asked :

Whom do you call a sandow(Wrestler) ? People replied :One who is not knocked downbu anybody is called a sandowamong us. He said : No,sandow is one who controls hisself in his anger. (muslim)

The acts depend on inten-

tions. A man will get whateverhe had intended for. So theman whose migration will befor the sake of Allah and HisMessenger, his migration willbe for Allah and His Messen-ger. But if anybody migrateswith the intention of earningthe world or to marry a certainwoman then his migration willbe counter for the purpose forwhich he left his house.

THE TIMES OF LEAGUE3

It is not the rst time that IndianPrime Minister blended cricket andpolitics to break the impasse in theIndo-Pak relations. In 1987 India-Pakistan cricket match in Jaipur,Rajasthan, the Pakistani militarydictator Zia-ul-Haq was the guestof honour and the Indian PrimeMinister Rajiv Gandhi played therole of benevolent host. Again in2005, Mr. Singh invited the Pakistanidictator Pervez Musharraf to amatch in New Delhi in 2005.

Ashfaqulla Khan wasborn on 22nd of October 1900 toSha qulla Khan in Shahjanpur inUttar Pradesh. Ashfaq was in schoolwhen Mahatma Gandhi Called theNon co-operation movement. aMovement wherein he called theIndians not to pay taxes to theBritish and not to cooperate withthe British government in any way.This call of Gandhiji had kindledthe re of freedom in the heartsof many, but the Chauri Chauraincident of 1922 where approx22 policemen were burnt alive ina police station deeply saddenedGandhiji that the called off theNon-cooperation movement.

A lot of youth of the countryfelt dejected on the withdrawalof the movement Ashfaq was oneof them. He felt that India shouldbecome free as soon as possibleand so he decided to join therevolutionaries and also win thefriendship of Pundit Ram Prasad

Bismil a famous revolutionary of Shahjanpur.Ram Prasad Bismil was a

member of the Arya Samaj andwas eager to explain the greatnessof the Hindu religion to thosebelonging to other religion thiswas a dif culty for Ashfaq whowas a devout Muslim.

But the common intention of both Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqi.e. Freedom to India helped himto win over the friendship of RamPrasad.

The revolutionaries felt that softwords of non violence could notwin India its Independence andtherefore they wanted to makeuse of bombs revolvers and otherweapons to instill fear in the hearts

of the Britishs empire. The BritishEmpire was large and strong. Thewithdrawal of the no cooperationmovement united revolutionariesscattered in the country. Thisrevolutionary movement requiredmoney to support its need. Oneday while traveling on a trainfrom Shahjanpur to Lucknow

Ram Prasad noticed stationmasterbringing money bags into thisguards van. This was a beginningof a Dacoity Called Kakori Dacoity

On August 9th 1925 the planwas brought into action. Ashfaqullaalong with his other revolutionaryfriends namely Ram Prasad Bismil,Rajendra Lahiri, Thakur RoshanSingh, Sachindra Bakshi, Chandra-sekhara Azad, Keshab Chakra-varthy, Banwari Lal, Mukundi Lal,

Ashfaq wanted to moveabroad to learn engineering tofurther help the freedom struggleand so he went to Delhi to nd outways to move out of the country.he took the help of one of hisPathan friend who in turn betrayedhim by informing the police abouthis whereabouts.

The case for the Kakori dacoitywas concluded by awarding deathsentence to Ram Prasad Bismil,

In the 1970s, when the CPI(M)rst came to power in West Bengal,the state used to rank eighthamong all Indian states in termsof per capita income. It droppeddown to eleventh in the 1990s,a position from which it has notrisen until now. Yet, relative to itslevels of income, West Bengal hasa lower poverty rate. Gujarat witha much higher level of per capitaincome, has more hunger thanWest Bengal.

West Bengals failure, however,is re ected in the high levels of absolute deprivation as well aslow levels of human development,particularly in the Muslim minority.

According to census data, WestBengals literacy rate is 69 percent.

Around 15 percent of the stateschildren have never enrolled inschool. For Muslim children, thispercentage doubles to 30. Twentypercent of all children that enroll ina school do not complete primaryschooling; this share for Muslimchildren has reached 50 percent.Only 12 percent of eligible Muslimchildren complete matriculationcompared to over 40 percent forHindus, excluding the scs/sts.

Of the 90 minority-concentrated

BENGALS M INORI TY REPORTdistricts in the country, West Bengalhas 12 but incredibly, the WestBengal government has not even

used 20 percent of the funds madea available for these districts.

Overall, work participationrates in West Bengal are lowerthan the national average. Manypeople migrate out of the state insearch of jobs. In terms of sectoralemployment the share of Muslimsin wage-earning employmentin manufacturing and industrialenterprises is relatively higherthan of Hindus but the longer termtrend shows reduction in totalemployment due to closures andmodernization industry. Most of

the Muslim labour force in the stateis self employed. A staggering 55percent of the states Muslims fallinto this category with almost nolinks to modern markets. Incomegrowth in this sector is marginal.

The most worrying statistic forMuslims in West Bengal is thefact that they constitute only 2-3percent of the state governmentsemployment, while their share inthe populations over 25 percent.There appears to be discreteand consistent discriminationin employing Muslims for gover

nment positions. The West Bengal governments recent promiseto set aside 10 percent of

government jobs for Muslim byincluding a majority of then in theOther Backward Castes list (OBC),and increasing the OBC quota inthe state from 7 percent to 17percent is farcical. It should bechallenged.

The of cial claim is that thenew OBC list has ensured that85 percent of the states Muslimswould be categorized as OBC. Butaccording to data available fromthe National Sample surveys, only2.5 percent of the states Muslimshave identi ed themselves as

OBCs. So the claim that 85 percentof Muslims will be covered underthe OBC quota is a blatant lie.Further how can 65 per cent of the OBC quota be earmarkedfor Muslims. When their share inthe total population of the stateis not greater than Hindu OBSs?If implemented in this manner,the policy will discriminateagainst Hindus which disastrousfor integrating Muslims into themainstream.

The states Left Front government has deliberately, for some

unknown political reason,denied its citizens both Hindusand Muslims- bene ts of the

OBC quota which have becomeavailable since the implementationof the Mandal Commission. Onefails to understand what kind of pro-poor policy the governmenthas followed, wherein the guiseof caste/religion-neutral ideology,opportunities have been deniedfor a whole generation of citizens,especially the Muslims.

The government in powercannot impress the electorateon the pretext that it has offeredsafety and security, while robbingthem of their jobs and economic

opportunities by refusing topromote mass employmentschemes such as the MahatmaGandhi National Rural EmploymentGuarantee scheme. The state ranksthird from the bottom in termsof effective implementation of NREGA among the major states of India. The electorate will inevitablytake note of such exclusionarypolicies would actually bene t themarginalized and excluded in WestBengal.

Mr. E. Ahamed, Minister of Statefor External Affairs on 10/03/2011while inaugurating the NERDZ,the Annual IT Festival of JamiaHamdard at the Jamia HadardUniversity, Delhi has said that theUniversity made splendid progressin the eld of modern education.The founder of this University,Hakeem Abdul Hameed Saheb wasa great visionary and philanthropist.Hakeem Abdul Hameed Saheb at avery young age showed signs of maturity and wisdom. He became abenefactor of Indian Muslims, afterthe unfortunate events followingthe partition of India. HakeemSaheb realized that acquisition of professional education and soundhealth were necessary to lift theIndian Muslims out of the morassof despondency and helplessness.With single-minded devotion, hewent about the task of establishinga host of educational institutionsand a hospital, named after hisfather, Hakeem Abdul Majeed.

In May 1989, Shri Rajiv Gandhipresided over the transformationof this place into a DeemedUniversity.

Apart from Unani Medicine,Islamic Studies, Nursing andPharmacy new faculties of Science, Management Studies & Information Technology and AlliedHealth Sciences were added. JamiaHamdard has now blossomed intoa premier institution impartingprofessional education in less than20 years. The quality of teachingand research in the University hasdrawn appreciation from all. Mr.

Ahamed congratulated the ViceChancellor on establishment of a new medical college and hope

that it will see its rst batch of MBBS in the coming year.

It quite heartening thatthere are 5000 students onthe rolls of the University,out of which 300 are foreignstudents, hailing from 28countries of the world.

Education and Health are thetwo key concerns of our NationalCommon Minimum Programme.Both these elds are dealt atJamia Hamdard. This is a tributeto the vision of Hakeem Saheb.The country, particularly, theMuslims of India, can never forgetthe pioneering role of HakeemSaheb in channelizing privatefunding of educational institutions.His gesture was modern, sel ess,and a model of self-reliance. Weare in the process of working on asystem that could strike the rightbalance between encouragingprivate initiative and at the sametime avoiding commercialization of higher education. Hakeem Sahebs

vision gives us a good option,which serves the twin objectives,and helps in increasing access tohigher professional education.

The Dept. of Computer Scienceof Jamia Hmdard has beenorganizing NERDZ and this is thetenth time. This festival aims atbringing together students fromvarious universities and collegesacross the country to exhibit theirskills. Jamia Hamdard University isa unique blend of India Traditionsand Western modernity. Hence, itis also an opportunity to showcaseyour institution.

My dear friends, even a childknows you can do many thingswith one hand! The CPM is puttingforth a most peculiar argument toconvince the people of Kerala thatP Jayarajan, MLA did not assault

Asianet presenter Shahjahan.How can a partially handicappedman with one non-functional handassault anybody, they ask. And Iask, how did a one-handed manpush a young girl, Sowmya, out of a running train, how did he thenrape and brutally murder her? If one hand is enough to do all thesethings, is it dif cult to slap a person

Things You Can Do w ith one Hand!with one hand? Let us not forgetthat a mob was available to assistJayarajan in this endeavour.

In any case, Jayarajans tongueis in nitely stronger than his hands.His telephone call to Shahjahanwas crystal clear, his voice wasclearly recognizable and the wordswere explicit. He threatenedShahjahan with a bigger assault

this time by the people. Whichpeople? The peace loving citizensof Kerala would like to know.

It is time we ended this mindlessviolence. It is time we recognizedthe real promoters of violence.

Both P Jayarajan and his son arenow one-handed. How did thiscome about? This is the resultof the CPMs policy of attack andintimidation. During the seventiesat Mattanur Chavassery, a KSRTCbus was set on re by the redbrigade killing nine persons. Whatfor? To ensure the success of abandh. The visual media had notcome into existence then. Todaythe role played by the media inreducing lawlessness should notbe underestimated. The presenceof cameras everywhere makes it

dif cult for the criminal elements tointimidate the common man. Yes,the media is indeed the watchdogof democracy.

To Shahjahan and several otherslike him, who work round the clock to bring truth and reality before theeyes of the public, I say, The blowsrained on you are daggers piercingthe heart of Indias democracy. Butour democratic traditions are too

strong to give way. Go ahead withcourage and continue the goodwork. The people of Kerala are onyour side.

Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandans instructions to DGP JacobPunnoose to expedite enquiriesinto the ice-cream parlour sexscandal case involving IndianUnion Muslim League stategeneral secretary P.K. Kunhalikuttywas a clear instance of externalinterference in the investigationand a violation of election code of conduct, Mr. Kunhalikutty said onTuesday.

He was speaking at a Meet theLeader programme organised bythe Calicut Press Club here. Arguingthat a caretaker Chief Minister hasno such powers to intervene in anongoing enquiry, Mr. Kunhalikuttysaid that Mr. Achuthanandansdissatisfaction with the ongoingenquiry was a clear testimonyto the fact that the investigatingagency had received no signi cant

evidence against me in the case. He also said that the people

of the State were intelligentenough to understand the electiongimmicks the CPI(M) and the LDFwere playing.

Coming down on the CPI(M)State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan forhis alleged attempt to woo Jamaat-e- Islami votes in the comingelection, Mr. Kunhalikutty said, Itonly exposed the real face of theCPI(M) in the public. He said that

it was ironic that the CPI(M), whichhad labelled the Jamaat-e- Islamias a terror out t during thePanchayat elections, found timeto secretly meet the organisationsleaders to beg for their votes. Asked about the Congress and

the IUML leaders reported visit tothe Jamaat-e-Islami quarters, Mr.Kunhalikutty said that neither theUDF nor the IUML had delegatedor entrusted anyone to engage intalks with the out ts leaders. He

also maintained that Jamaat-e-Islami had already oated a politicalparty which is outside the UDF andhence there was no question of the IUML or the Congress tryingto woo them. More than that they

have already clearly worded outwhom they are going to support inthe coming election, which is notUDF, he said.

The IUML leader, who was alsothe Industries Minister in the UDFministry, said that his front, if electedto power, would do everything tosupport the public sector industrialunits which had been reopenedby the Left government over thelast ve years. We are not againstPSUs, provided they run well andmake pro t, he said.

It will be clear to any politicalobserver in India that the IndianUnion Muslim League (IUML) is ahighly secular and nationalist partyengaged in protecting the rightsof minorities particularly Muslimsand strengthening the bonds of camaraderie among differentlinguistic, ethnic and religiouspeople. It is a harbinger of amityand communal harmony. The lateQaede Millat Mohammed Ismailsaheb who was elected as itsPresident when it was formed afterthe partition of country in 1947 isstill the soul of the party. It is themain representative body of IndianMuslims thanks to the efforts takenby the Muslim League leaders inKerala and Tamil Nadu during thepast more than 60 years.

All trusted Qaede MillatMohammed Ismail saheb fully andthe Kerala and Tamil Nadu unitsmore so. The Kerala unit of the IUMLwanted him to be its representativein the Parliament of India. He waselected to the Parliament fromthe Manjeri constituency in Keralathree times in 1962, 67 and 71as an IUML candidate withouteven going to the constituencyfor electioneering. He went thereonly to le his nomination papers.The electorates who respectedhim immensely exercised theirfranchise in his favour and healways came out successful with abig margin of more than one lakhvotes. He was secular and patrioticto the core. He asked people tofollow the verse of the holy Quran:

hold tight to the rope of God andbe not divided among yourselves

When Pakistan started a war

V.M. Kha leelur Rahm anwith India in 1965, Qaede Millatwhile delivering a speech in theParliament expressed his desireto send his only son Mr. Mia Khanto the battle eld to ght againstPakistan. After the creationof Pakistan, he had asked thePakistani leaders not to interfere inthe internal affairs of our countryIndia and bid adieu to them.

When the issue of nationallanguage came for discussion inthe Parliament, he pleaded thathis mother tongue Tamil, a richlanguage in all respects, shouldbe made the national language.He was secular and patriotic tothe core. He was instrumental inbringing the Muslim communityon a single platform particularly inKerala and Tamil Nadu and makingthem realise the importance of unity and integrity in accordancewith the Islamic dictate.

Qaede Millat echoed his voiceagainst all kinds of injustice andencouraged righteousness fromwhichever quarter it came. Hiscontribution in bringing the DMK to power in Tamil Nadu cannot beforgotten. The trio Mr. C. Annadurai

(Anna), Mr. C. Rajagopalachari(Rajaji) and Mr. Mohammed Ismail(Qaede Millat) joined together andcreated history in 1967 when theDMK attained power for the rsttime and the then DMK chief Mr.C. Annadurai became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. He wasthe rst member of a Dravidianparty to hold that post and wasalso the rst non-Congress leaderto form a majority government inIndependent India. It was not onexpected lines but the late founderleader of the DMK , Anna made it

possible with the support of theabove mentioned two leaders.The gift of the gab that he and hisyoung and energetic colleagueslike the present DMK chief Dr.Kalaignar Mr. M. Karunanidhi andothers possessed helped them inpresenting the DMK party ideologyto the people in a convincing andbe tting manner and winningtheir hearts. Muslims have beenco-operating with them from dayone of the DMK. Though EVR wasan atheist, he used to addressMeeladun Nabi functions praisingIslam and Islamic ideology of equality and brotherhood. He had

even written a book titled Manithakulam waazay Islamay Nal Wazhi(Islam is the right path for theprogress of mankind)

Muslims particularly students inplaces even like Ambur rushed tothe book stalls every week end tobuy periodicals like Mani Vilakku,Muslim Murasu, Pirai, Tamil Nadu (Tamizhnadu), Home Land, Murasoli,Thenral, Manram etc. whichwere brought out by Muslim andDravidian intellectuals and leaders.The language they used and thematters they discussed were verymeaningful and captivating. Forexample Dr. Kalaignars alliterativelanguage, Mr. Kannadasans poeticexpressions and Mr. Abdul Samadssweet and power packed artistrymesmerized readers like me.

Though the subject underdiscussion is different I mentionall this to say the fact that thepeople connected with Dravidamovements and Islam havebeen working together in socialand political elds of activity. Itis heartening to note that eventoday the same camaraderie existsamong Muslim League and DMK leaders and followers. Insha Allahit will continue as it is based moreon ideology and less on politics.Political connections may changebut not ideological.

Coming to the main issue, theMuslim League has never failedto protect the causes dearerto the Muslim community, i. e.Muslim personal law, minorityrights in educational institutions,reservation, safe-guard for Urdu,

Arabic and Persian, etc. Eventoday prof. K.M. Kader Mohideen,who is the President of the TamilNadu unit of the Muslim Leagueis protecting the interest of theMuslim community well. The 3.5%reservation for Muslims in educationand employment sanctioned by theDMK government at the instance of the Muslim League is paying gooddividends. The lacunae found inits implementation are brought tothe notice of the Honble TN Chief Minister and he has set up a highlevel committee headed by the

State Chief Secretary to monitorits effective implementation. He

has also announced acceptingthe Muslim League demand forincreasing the reservation to5% that it would be consideredpositively at the earliest. Muslimsstrongly believe that they willget this bene t as he is a betteradministrator and a trustworthyleader who understands theirfeelings and respects theirsentiments.

Even in the present electionscenario, the Muslim Leagues largeheartedness in coming forwardto accept two constituenciesinstead of three allotted alreadyto accommodate another politicalparty is a testimony to the factthat it is a cooperative anddependable ally. That it got threeseats later is a different matter.Now the three Muslim Leaguecandidates Mr. H. Abdul Basith, Mr.M. Mohammed Sheik Dawood andMr. Althaf Hussain are contestingin three assembly constituencies

Vaniyambadi, Nagappattinam andChennai Harbour respectively.

Insha Allah they will come outsuccessful along with othercandidates of the DMK alliance.

The message the MuslimLeague conveys is simple andcrystal clear. That is unity isstrength. It will not be possiblefor any community to attain abetter position in society unlessit is united and works to achievewhat it wants in the educational,economical and political arena inthe present highly competitive andmaterialistic world.

London: A US scholar hasclaimed that the Bible mayhave been forged several NewTestament books were actuallywritten by people who lied abouttheir identity, pretending to be theapostles Peter. Paul or James.

Bart D Ehrman, the best sellingauthor of Misquoting Jesus andJesus interrupted, has said thatmany religious scholars werewell aware of the lies of theBible. While some were happy toacknowledge them, others referto them as Pseudepigrapha meaning a falsely attributed work,he wrote in The Huf ngton Post.Even in his new book, why theBibles authors are not who think they are. Prof Ehrman claims

The Second Epistle of Peter wasforged

scholars everywhere

except for our friends among thefundamentalists will tell you thatthere is no way on Gods greenearth that Peter wrote the book.Someone else wrote it claiming tobe Peter, Prof Ehrman wrote.

He has also claimed that scholarswho say it was acceptable in theancient world for someone to writea book in the name of someone

else are wrong. If you look atwhat ancient people actually saidabout the practice youll see thatthey invariably called it lyingand condemned it as a deceitfulpractice, even in Christian circles.

According to Prof Ehrman, manyscholars think six of the 13 lettersallegedly written by Paul wereactually authored by somebody

else claiming to be Paul. In theancient world, books like that werelabelled as pseudoi lies.

He has also claimed that theauthor of the book of 1 Timothyclaimed to be Paul but in actualfact was someone living after Paulhad died.

The author used the apostlename to address a problem hesaw in church, the scholar said.

Women were speaking out,exercising authority and teachingmen. That had to stop. Theauthor told women to be silentand submissive, and reminded hisreaders about what happened the rst time a woman was allowedto exercise authority over a man,in that incident in the garden of Eden.

MY I NNOVATION

The self propelled three rowpotato seeding device for restrictedland holdings performs the tasks of digging furrows at proper depthsfor planting potatoes, plantingthe seed potatoes at the proper

depth and providing soil coverfor the protection and eventualgermination of the seeds. Thedevice comprises a seed hopperfor accommodating seed potatoes.Three seed cups that distributethe seed potatoes along threerows, a diesel engine as the primemover for self propulsion, a set of balance wheels at the rear, threesets of metallic wings for providingsoil cover after the plantation of the seeds and three digging bladesfor providing the proper depth.Propulsion is provided by the

diesel engine (5HP-12.5 HP) via areduction gear box to the traction

wheels. A part of the powerprovided to the traction wheels isfed back to rotate a shaft on whichare mounted the seed cups. As theshaft rotates the individual cupspick up the seed potatoes anddistributes them along the threefurrows.

The row to row distance isadjustable between 18 and 26 for accommodating differentvarieties. With proper designretro t, the device can be made todig furrows up to 12 in depth forthe production

IMP ACT ON SOCIETY

The primary attraction of thedevice is that it helps in drasticallyreducing the time required forplanting of potatoes. The devicesimultaneously creates irrigationfurrows for subsequent irrigation.

THE SPARK

The idea for the product owesits genesis in the course of the

long experience I have in potatofarming in the small land holding

The self Propelled Three Row Potato Seeding Device

YOUNG M USLIM IN NOVATOR

of West Bengal. I had noted thatall seeding devices available inthe country are actually tractordriven, Which makes its userestricted in smaller land holdingsof West Bengal. There was thisinner compulsion to develop adevice for reducing labour andtime for seeding and increasingyield. The idea was tried out inpractice through the development

of a rudimentary model throughretro t and salvage utilization, andthe initial results are encouraging.

YOUR ENTREPRENEURIALJOURNEY

Hailing from a farmer family, Ihad obtained a degree in science,but had decided not to opt forservice after graduation, but todedicate myself to the introductionof modern farming practices. Thisled to the eventual opening of my rm- the New Bengal AgroImplements- where I spent more

than two decades innovating newand appropriate farming devices.

ASSOCIATION WITH TePP

My association with the FarmMachinery Development Groupof Research Institute, Durgapur

dates back since I worked withthis Group for development of different agricultural devices. Itwas through this group that Ireceived the invitation to take partin the Innovators meet organizedby TUC-CMERI, Durgapur in March2009. The device I had innovatedimpressed many scientists of theInstitute and nally received theDSIR approval and funding.

FUTURE PLANS

Design re nement, developmentproduction and marketing of the

seeding device as a labour savingimplement.

Captain Vijayakanth A nyone who wants to become

a Maharaja can join the Captainsparty and get assaulted by him. Itis what one has to comprehend bygoing through the latest politicalphilosophy advocated by Captain

Vijayakanth. Vijayakanth noted forhis frequent mental hallucinations,hit his party candidate Baskar at anelection meeting in Dharmapuri.

was Baskar. The candidate Baskar

interrupted and murmured in Vijayakanths ears which provokedcaptain and brought wrath onhis candidate. The TV channelsin Tamil Nadu telecasted thevisuals of the actor beating uphis own candidate during theelection campaign. Reacting to thereports, Vijayakanth commented

The TV channels reported thatI beatup a candidate. Even if itis true, it is only my candidatethat I beatup. The person I hitwill become a Maharaja later. Mypartymen men know about me .People of Tamil Nadu aware thatcaptain will produce many moreMaharajas during this electionperiod. Maharajas deserve theirrightful place in Captains kingdomin his lms but not in Tamil Naduassembly which is meant for self respecting people.

Oomenchandi lashesout Marxists

The opposition leader in KeralaOomenchandi in an interview to

media stated that the LDF under

Chief Ministed V.S.Achuthananthaseeks vote for the continuation of corruption in the state. The mediapersons asked Mr. Chandi whetherMr.Achuthananthans focus oncorruption, the land ma a andthe sex rackets were disturbing.Mr. Chandi said, Last ve yearsof LDF rule have seen nothing butdisputes and controversies, whilethe problems faced by the peoplegot little attention. Now the LDF isstill continuing with controversies,with the Chief Minister sayinghe will jail those involved in sexrackets, bring to book the corrupt,and take action against the landma a. These are things he couldhave done by merely issuinginstruction to his of cials; but hehas shown lack of political will intaking action. The Opposition raisedall these issues in the Assembly,but MR. Achuthanandan did noteven bother to order a probe. Heis now seeking a vote for the LDFfor the continuation of the existingsituation. The people of Kerala willsee through this game.

Phototherapy for

Constipation!Historical jokes were plenty at the time of Second World War. Adolf

Hitler had become an anathema for the entire western world. The Naziswere pounding the city of London, day and night, without a breathinggap. Leaders and people were bewildered all over the world. In the mistof the war there came a story. It was about British Prime Minister Winston

composed a few lines seeking the blessings of Khwaja MohinuddhinChisti to make India victorious in the match.

As soon as the group started performing, hundreds of cricket loversincluding children holding tricolour assembled there and the place waspacked in a matter of few minutes. The fans also offered chadders withprayers for Indias win. After a one-and-a-half hours of qawwali session,

sweets were distributed to cricket fans and other devotees. As the qawwali music and rhthm resonated, devotees gathered from

all sides. Inshallah, India will win, said Roshni, who had come fromNew Delhi to pay obeisance at dargah.

The Anjuman committee of the dargah also participated in the eventand offered prayers for Team India. This is sports spirit and everyonewant their team to win the match. We all want India to win the semi nalmatch, said Mahmood Chisti, secretary of the committee.

A Man of SimplicityWith $5.7 billion revenue, Azim

H Premjis wipro is ranked amongthe worlds 100 top technology

companies. He is the third richestman in India and 36th richest amongthe worlds billionaires. He has apersonal wealth of nearly $17 billion.In spite of his rich treasure, Premji prefers a simple life and for yearshe drew an Indica car worth around 2 lakh rupees. He is a god fearingMuslim, donated $2 billion worth of shares to the Azim Premji foundationmaking it the largest endowment by an Indian. He wakes up 5 in themorning and after morning prayers he treks in the forests of Karnataka.He works two hours daily at home before he goes to Wipro campus. Willbillionaires in India emulate his simplicity ?

No more bitternessGood bye to bitterness. Everything will be sweet hereafter. Your

cough syrups, tablets, capsules, diet drinks, in short, all your bittermedicines will taste sweet. Thanks to the research team headed byIoana Ungureanu, in Cincinnati, Ohio, US, who successfully developeda new component called G IV 3616, which prevents bitter taste beingsensed by the tongue. The research team said, A lot of people arevery sensitive to bitter taste in medicines, calorie free sweeteners and

KALEIDOSCOPE

Churchills ailment of constipation. All medicines that were tried could notrelieve him. Ultimately, an intelligent British doctor, it was narrated, useda clever device to cure Churchill from his ailment. He called Churchill andwithout prescribing him any medicine bluntly advised him to go to histoiled the next morning as usual. Churchill without any question agreedthe doctors advice and went to the toilet the next morning. The momenthe sat on the c loset he had developed loose motion and his constipationwas kicked off at one stroke. It was the phototherapy the doctor cleverlyused to relieve Churchill from constipation. The doctor had pasted thephoto of Adolph Hitler in front of the closet and the moment Churchillnoticed his enemys photo on the wall he developed loose motion andconstipation was totally relieved. It was really a wonderful phototherapydevised by that doctor.

foods. We would like to be able to make their diets more enjoyableby masking the off-putting avours of bitterness. Further, Live ScienceJournal quoted Ungureanu as saying Blocking these avours we call

off-nodes could help consumers eat healthier and more varied diets.It could encourage them to switch to non-calorie soft drinks and helpchildren and seniors swallow bitter tasting medications.

The researchers who presented their ndings at the annual conferenceof the American Chemical Society in California said G IV 3616 is not the rst compound capable of masking bitter taste from the tongue.

The honour belongs to G IV 3727 which improves the taste of arti cialsweetness such as saccharin and sucralose.

But the bitterness blocker G IV 3616 is more potent than its predecessorand dissolves more quickly in food and beverages, Ungureanu said.

Will Ungureanu and his team of researches develop a new compoundto extinguish the bitterness from the minds of the people. If theysucceed in their attempt the rst dosage shall be administered to the USPresident Barack Obama and his sworn enemy Al-Qaida head Bin-Ladento save the world from its present bitterness.
