A week after it was suspended, thePoonch-Rawalakot cross-LoC busservice resumed on Monday, with 46stranded passengers, including 40from PoK, returning home, an offi-cial said.

The weekly service was sus-pended on August 19 after authori-ties in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir(PoK) did not respond to a call fromtheir Indian counterparts to let a busget across the Line of Control (LoC),according to officials.

"The bus service resumed with40 PoK residents and six Indian cit-izens returning to their homes," Dis-trict Development Commissioner,Poonch, Rahul Yadav told PTI.

The permits of two other PoK

residents, who had arrived in Jammuand Kashmir's Poonch a week aheadof Eid-ul-Azha to meet their rela-tives, is yet to expire, he said, addingthat there was no fresh traveller fromeither side.

The bus service, popularly

known as 'Paigam-e-Aman', is onevery Monday and it did not stop de-spite tension along the LoC in viewof frequent ceasefire violations byPakistan which has claimed the livesof three army personnel and a civil-ian since August 17. However, it

was suspended last Monday, afterofficials said "we had sent a messageto PoK authorities for bus service to-day (August 19), but they did not re-spond". The relations between Indiaand Pakistan is under strain follow-ing Centre's move to scrap specialstatus to Jammu and Kashmir and itsbifurcation into two Union territo-ries -- Jammu and Kashmir, andLadakh -- early this month. Billedas the biggest confidence buildingmeasure, the bus service was startedon the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad routein Kashmir in April 2005 and thePoonch-Rawalakot route in the Jam-mu region in June 2006, to facilitatedivided families on either side of theLoC to meet each other. The trade,which works on the barter system,between the two parts of Kashmirstarted in October 2008.

A Delhi court extended theCentral Bureau of Investiga-tion's custody of former chiefminister P Chidambaram byfive more days—a develop-ment that came hours afterthe Supreme Court refused toentertain his appeal againstthe high court's decision todismiss his anticipatory bail.

Chidambaram was pro-duced at the Delhi court onMonday at the end of theCBI’s four-day custody ofhim in the INX media case.

Solicitor General TusharMehta and Additional Solici-tor General KN Natrajan,who argued for CBI, saidthere were sufficient groundsfor extension of his custodialinterrogation as he was inter-rogated from August 23-26and was confronted with a co-accused. Prosecutors said theprocess was not complete,and put before the court a filecontaining email exchanges

between the accused persons."We need five days of

custody of Chidambaram asthe confrontation with co-ac-cused will continue to unearthlarger conspiracy," Mehtacontended. Hours before, aDivision Bench of Justices RBanumathi and AS Bopannarefused to entertain his peti-tion in a corruption caseagainst him on the groundsthat his arrest by the CBI hadmade it “infructuous”.

RAJENDRA KHATRYCHANDIGARH, AUGUST 26

Yogendra Yadav of the Swaraj India par-ty today made a scathing attack on theBJP government in Haryana for failing tofulfil the manifesto promise of providinglakhs of jobs to the people.

Yadav , who released the second listof 8 Swaraj India candidates to contestVidhan Sabha polls in Haryana, said un-employment will be a major issue in theforthcoming assembly elections. He an-nounced to launch Jan Sarokar campaignfrom September 1 to meet people to dis-cuss their problems.

Addressing a media conference heretoday, Yogendra Yadav said Haryana topsthe bigger states in the country as far asunemployment is concerned. There aremore than 16 lakh educated unemployedyouth in Haryana today. The BJP in itsmanifesto had promised lakhs of jobs tothe unemployed youth in the state, but sofar not even 1 per cent of the registeredunemployed persons have been providedemployment, he said.

Yadav said what is more disturbing isthe fact that among the 20 to 24 years-oldyouth, unemployment rate is as high as64 per cent. The Haryana government Inany other country this would have madebig news, but in Haryana it is not even thetalking point, he said. Quoting the NSSOdata, Yadav said said it is alarming thatwhile India’s unemployment rate standsat 6.9 per cent, Haryana has three timesmore than that at 20.5 per cent.

He said it is tragic for Haryana that allpolitical parties in the state have alwayshoodwinked unemployed youth. Whilethe Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) in-

dulged in job fraud, Congress indulged innepotism in jobs while the BJP forgot ithad promised to provide jobs. He saidSwaraj India will work hard to tackle thisproblem in the state. Announcing the 8Swaraj India candidates today in Haryanafor the forthcoming Vidhan Sabha elec-tions in addition to the 10 announced ear-lier, Yogendra Yadav said Madhu Anand,70 will contest the poll ffrom Panchkula.Madhu and her husband had fought a pro-longed battle for 19 years with the formerDGP of Haryana SPS Rathore to finallyget justice for Ruchika Gilhotra in thesexual molestation case.

Govt withdraws Manmohan's SPG coverAGENCYNEW DELHI, AUG 26

The Special Protection Group(SPG) protection given to formerprime minister Manmohan Singhhas been withdrawn following areview by multiple securityagencies but he will continue toget Z plus security, officials saidon Monday.

The former prime minister's Zplus security cover -- one of thehighest -- will be given by one ofthe Central Armed Police Forces(CAPFs), preferably the CentralReserve Police Force (CRPF),they said.

The government's decision hadbeen conveyed to Singh, who wasIndia's prime minister from 2004and 2014, and the SPG contingentwill be withdrawn from his NewDelhi residence after one of theCAPFs takes over theresponsibility, a home ministryofficial said.

"The current security coverreview is a periodical andprofessional exercise based onthreat perception that is purelybased on professional assessmentby security agencies. Dr.Manmohan Singh continues to

have Z+ security cover," a homeministry spokesperson said.

The decision to withdraw theSPG security, the country's highestgrade of protection, was takenafter a three-month reviewinvolving the Cabinet Secretariatand the Ministry of Home Affairswith inputs from variousintelligence agencies, officialssaid.

With the removal of Singh'sSPG cover, the top notch securitycover will now be given only toPrime Minister Narendra Modi

and the Gandhi family -- Congresspresident Sonia Gandhi and herchildren, Rahul and Priyanka.

According to procedures laiddown by the SPG Act, 1988, Singhwas entitled to SPG cover for oneyear after he demitted office in2014.

His SPG security cover wasrenewed annually after a review ofthe threats faced by him and hiswife Gursharan Kaur.

Singh's daughters, who werealso given SPG cover, gave up theprotection voluntarily in 2014.

The SPG was set up in 1985after the assassination of primeminister Indira Gandhi. Parliamentpassed the SPG Act in 1988,dedicating the group to protectingthe prime minister. At the time, theAct did not include former primeministers. When V P Singh cameto power in 1989, his governmentwithdrew SPG protection given tohis predecessor Rajiv Gandhi.

After Rajiv Gandhi'sassassination in 1991, the SPG Actwas amended to offer SPGprotection to all former primeministers and their families for atleast 10 years.

The Atal Bihari Vajpayeegovernment conducted a review ofthe SPG's functioning, and decidedto withdraw the SPG protectiongiven to former prime ministers PV Narasimha Rao, H D DeveGowda and I K Gujral.

In 2003, the Vajpayeegovernment again amended theSPG Act to bring the period ofautomatic protection down from10 years to "a period of one yearfrom the date on which the formerprime minister ceased to holdoffice" and beyond one year basedon the level of threat as decided bythe general government.

AMRIT SADHANA

Invite someone for medita-tion and mark how theystart looking at their

watch. “Who has time?” is theusual response. Because thecommon feeling among non-meditators is that the time

spent inmeditationis timew a s t e d .People arecontinuallycalculatingthe econom-

ic value of their time. And allthe research shows that whenpeople are equating time withmoney, they are not enjoyingtheir lives.

Meditation cannot be en-cashed at monetary gain. Sucha kind of people don’t enjoymusic, or sunsets or playingwith their kids. We live in atime where everything is ex-pected to be done quickly; wepraise the fastest race cars, thefastest airplanes, the fastestswimmer, the fastest sprint-er… There are countless TVshows and advertisementsthat try to tap into the humanobsession with speed. Whereis this speed mania is takingus? Into tension and anxiety.

Nevertheless, there is a pos-itive side to this state of af-fairs. The fact that people can-not wait even for a momentmeans they value each mo-

ment tremendously. This fo-cus on each moment can beused to introduce them tomeditation, for meditationmeans living in the moment.The meditator also valueseach moment, but the differ-ence is: he goes deeper intoeach moment whereas thespeedy man lives the momentsuperficially. He is jumpingfrom one moment to anotherlike crazy. Not knowing thateach moment can be a door tothe timeless.

Osho has used this situationcreatively and has designedshort meditation techniquesthat can give instant resultslike instant coffee. Here aresome techniques:

Whereever you are, simplywatch your breath coming inand going out. Do not try tochange it, just watching willmake the breathing slowdown. With the breath slow-ing down, your mind will re-

lax and you will be at peace.Whenever you remember,

bring your attention here andnow: to this moment. Some-times you will forget, but itdoesn’t matter, when you re-member again, start beinghere and now. That reducestons of tension. As if sudden-ly you are at the clearing of aforest.

While standing, keep to themiddle: never to the left, nev-er to the right. Start swayingyour body like a bamboo,playfully, and slowly come tothe middle point. Feel the bal-ance and the bliss.

For one day, talk telegraph-ically. Use only the essentialwords, maybe ten words at themost. When you start speak-ing this way you will findmost words you utter are un-necessary. There is no need totalk so much. You will be sur-prised how much energy issaved by this.


The conferring of the UAE’s highest civilian honour onPrime Minister Narendra Modi in Abu Dhabi reaffirmsthe excellent ties between India and the Emirates. A re-

lationship that may have begun with oil from Abu Dhabi — theemirate is the fourth largest oil exporter — and grew with theIndian diaspora having flowered to the extent of Indians form-ing the UAE’s majority expat population — could never havebeen better. In fact, the UAE was one of the first nations tostand by India in stating the principle that the abrogation of Ar-ticle 370 in Jammu and Kashmir was “an internal matter” of In-dia. The credit for the ties hitting a new high should go to MrModi as he has been the active face of the initiatives taken bythis country to deepen its ties in the region.

India has been able to strike a fine balance in ties withheavyweights like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and evenQatar, a major natural gas supplier, besides hosting Indian di-aspora, keeping intact a relationship with Iran. In the region’sgeopolitics, defined by friendship with the United States, Indiahas carved out for itself a sphere of influence. The PM visitedBahrain, which has a strategic position in the region as it hostsboth US and British troops in a country with a sizeable Shiapopulation, that could be at odds with the major Sunni influ-ence in the cradle of Islam. A grand award ceremony in theUAE in the presence of Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince and aBahrain award ceremony in Manama at a time when the Kash-mir Valley is an issue that may trigger adverse reactions, thanksto Pakistani propaganda, should be considered a major victoryfor Indian diplomacy.

The PM’s trip, which included visits to the Arab world, willface its sternest test soon when Mr Modi will meet the US Pres-ident Donald Trump in Biarritz, France, on the sidelines of theG-7 summit. With Mr Trump yet to get the bee out of his bon-net about his fancying a role as a mediator in Kashmir, despitethe US state department declaring it is India’s internal matter,Mr Modi has some clever skirting to do. He is at the G-7 as theguest of France to take part in deliberations on the environ-ment, climate change and digital transformation and the ParisAccord. The PM’s earlier halt in France for a bilateral meetingwith President Emmanuel Macron was symbolic of continuinguncomplicated and historical good relations between India anda nation that has had military ties through HAL and is also soonto supply Rafale fighter jets in a major defence deal. In short,this has been a good trip so far for the Prime Minister, withouttoo much of the internal politics of India slipping in.

It’s by design, said somewho believe that the riffraff(read rather irrelevant Lu-tyen-ites?) and many hang-ers-on of the old Presidentialentourage went missing.Since President Ram NathKovind is a stickler for pro-priety, he hadn’t even includ-ed close family members inhis list of those invited. Thiswas formerly a significant rit-ual of Lutyens’ Delhi andclearly, the downsizing hashad its impact on the down-

grading of the event amongstthe hangers-on. But most sig-nificant for the “saffron ofLutyens” players was the fallin numbers of bureaucrats at-tending this event. In mostyears, large numbers of secre-taries — a growing tribe —and assorted additional andjoint secretaries would turnup with their wives in fullplumage to attend and makesure that they were seeing andwere seen.

Part of the earlier lure of at-tending for Delhi’s businessand other elite circles was thefact that they could minglefreely and socially with thekey babus who actually usedto move the levers of Delhi.With their dwindling num-bers and their vanishing pow-ers this is no longer a draw.

Add to that the fact the grow-ing tribe of non-IAS leapinginto the ranks of secretariesand joint secretaries, thespace and need to access andsocialise with them has sig-nificantly reduced and the en-thusiasm is choking off.

One possible explanationfor the drop in some key at-tendees, of course, may bethat the Prime Minister held areview meeting on the econo-my on Thursday morning af-ter his Red Fort speech.

This was both a signal ofthe significance of the eco-nomic crisis on the PrimeMinister’s agenda and the factthat bureaucrats can no longertake it for granted that Inde-pendence Day has the solemnsanctity of a holiday slackdown.

After Art 370 scrapping, the Shimla pact is virtually ‘dead’They are an integral part of the decision taken in 2014

to bar all talks with Pakistan on the Kashmir dispute

It is most unlikely that theModi government did notreckon with the interna-

tional as well as domestic con-sequences of the measures ittook on August 5 to dismem-ber the historic status of Jam-mu & Kashmir. It has invitedthe people of J&K to rise inrevolt. How long can thecurbs last? Forever? Oncethey are lifted, some day, atsome point, the pent-up popu-lar resentment will express it-self. It will not be mollifiedany longer by New Delhi andits local stooges.

These measures werelong in the making. They arean integral part of the decisiontaken in 2014 to bar all talkswith Pakistan on the Kashmirdispute.

Defence minister RajnathSingh’s August 18 statementon the talks came close on theheels of his even more sensa-tional statement on the 20-year-old doctrine of “no first-use” of nuclear weapons.Singh asked, “On what issueshould we have talks andwhy? About what should wetalk?” The 1972 ShimlaAgreement, by which Indiahad sworn for decades to pre-vent any international body orforeign power from pronounc-ing on the Kashmir dispute,provides the answer. Para 1(ii)reads: “That the two countriesare resolved to settle their dif-

ferences by peaceful meansthrough bilateral negotiationsor by any other peacefulmeans mutually agreed uponbetween them. Pending the fi-nal settlement of any of theproblems between the twocountries, neither side shallunilaterally alter the situationand both shall prevent the or-ganisation, assistance or en-couragement of any acts detri-mental to the maintenance ofpeaceful and harmonious rela-tions.”

This was flouted on Au-gust 5.

Para 1(iv) says: “That thebasic issues and causes ofconflict which have bedev-

illed the relations between thetwo countries for the last 25years shall be resolved bypeaceful means”, referring tothe dispute over Kashmirwhich had arisen 25 years ear-lier in 1947. The pledge that“neither side shall unilaterallyalter the situation” renders theattempted dismemberment ofJ&K’s special status void ininternational law as being vi-olative of this bilateral agree-ment and the UNSC’s resolu-tions.

The last provision in Para6 reads: “Both governmentsagree that their respectiveheads will meet again at a mu-tually convenient time in the

future and that, in the mean-while, the representatives ofthe two sides will meet to dis-cuss further the modalitiesand arrangements for the es-tablishment of durable peaceand normalisation of relations,including the questions ofrepatriation of prisoners ofwar and civilian internees, afinal settlement of Jammu andKashmir and the resumptionof diplomatic relations.”

The explicit reference to“a final settlement” of J&Kimplies: (a) there does exist adispute between India andPakistan on the future of affil-iation of Kashmir; (b) that dis-pute yet awaits a final settle-

ment; (c) neither side shallunilaterally alter the situation.Rejection of unilateralism inPara 1(ii) refers, in a generaland sweeping scope, to “thesituation”. It is rejected againin a more specific context.Para 4(ii) says: “In Jammuand Kashmir the line of con-trol resulting from the cease-fire of December 17, 1971shall be respected by bothsides without prejudice to therecognised position of eitherside. Neither side shall seek toalter it unilaterally irrespec-tive of mutual differences andlegal interpretations. Bothsides further undertake to re-frain from the threat or the useof force in violation of thisline.” This was violated inSiachen.

Hitherto, India’s standwas that the dispute must beresolved bilaterally. But Indiarejected its corollary that thereshould be meaningful talks onthe dispute and, implicitly,proposals for its peaceful bi-lateral solution; that implies acompromise.

The Modi governmenthas now gone a step further. Itrejects the very idea of talks.

If driven to the table, itwill not discuss the part ofKashmir on its side of the lineof control. This explains thecancellation of the foreignsecretaries’ talks in 2014 onpetty grounds.

No government and nofinance minister canafford to forget the

ground realities. Reality hitsback. It was but natural thenthat finance minister NirmalaSitharaman had to take noteof certain issues in the econo-my which she did not reckonwith in her Budget speech onJuly 5. The Budget was meantas a statement of intent, grandintent, of the Prime MinisterNarendra Modi government’ssecond term in office. It wasfelt that to mention problemsin the speech would havespoiled the party, as it were.But more than a month-and-a-half after the Budget, thegovernment had to respond toone issue it had not men-tioned in the Budget, and an-other which was mentioned init.

The first related to the au-tomobile industry, a key partof manufacturing, and theonly part that seemed to bedoing well when manufactur-ing as a whole had been lan-guishing through the fiveyears of the Narendra Modigovernment’s first term, fromthe summer of 2014 to thesummer of 2019.

With the precipitous fallin sales since the beginning ofthis year, the auto sector wasgasping for breath. The fi-nance minister responded byallowing greater depreciationfor the inventory, deferringthe date of introducing theBharat-IV rules regardingemissions and the switch to

electric vehicles, and thepromise that the governmentwould buy new cars. This isalmost a knee-jerk reaction.The government buying carsto stem the fall in sales is notexactly a boost to the econo-my. It would have been betterif there was demand stimulusfrom the buyers at large.

The Rs 70,000-crore re-capitalisation of public sectorbanks (PSBs), which was an-nounced in the Budgetspeech, is meant for creditofftake in general and notnecessarily for buying cars.The fact that this was reiterat-ed at the press conference is adeclaration on the part of the

government that the creditcrunch is real, and it is con-tributing to the sluggishnessof the economy. But this isnow combined with the near-mandate that the banks shouldtransmit the reduction in in-terest rates of the ReserveBank of India (RBI), and thebanks should now align theirlending rates to the repo rate— the rate at which RBI lendsto the banks.

This policy does notmake economic sense be-cause the banks, as commer-cial entities, will have tomaintain their profit margins.The banks have not broughtdown their interest rates be-

cause they know that the mar-ket conditions are not con-ducive enough. The financeministry and the RBI cannotforce banks to lend or thebusiness community and peo-ple in general to borrow. Theannouncement regarding thewithdrawal of the enhancedsurcharge on Foreign Portfo-lio Investment (FPIs) is an in-teresting measure because theModi government has beenan aggressive tax collector.The motive was a simple one— of increasing the tax rev-enue, which would then bespent on welfare measuresand on infrastructure. Thiswas indeed the economic phi-

losophy of Prime MinisterModi through his first term,though he and his colleagueswould be loathe to admit itbecause this was so like theCongress’ socialist policystance. The surcharge was anextension of this attitude. Butthe flight of FPIs over the sur-charge triggered the alarmsignal.

The government had beenclaiming that foreign invest-ments into India have been ata high ever since the Naren-dra Modi-led BJP came topower in 2014, but its bid totake tax advantage of the in-vestments in the Indian mar-kets was like killing the goosethat laid the golden eggs as itwere. The Modi govern-ment’s eagerness to increasetax collections could havemade sense if the economywas doing well. It is not dueto a complex set of reasons.But the government just re-fused to accept the fact, thatthe world economy had notrecovered from the 2008-09financial meltdown, and thatIndian exports were not goingto go up any time soon. TheModi government has notbeen inclined to face up to thereality because that came inthe way of the rose-tintedrhetoric about Mr Modi’sNew India. The governmentcannot hope to keep the prob-lems facing the economy un-der the lid — this will notwork any more because thestress is increasing. The jobsgrowth, or the lack of it, is the

elephant in the room, and thegovernment’s silence about itwill not banish it. The gov-ernment’s figure for employ-ment is modest. BetweenSeptember 2017 and June2019, the number stands at2,54,04,485, about a crore ofjobs in a year. This is not agreat number by any stan-dard. The argument of thegovernment and the BJP —that India’s growth rate is stillahead of all other leadingeconomies — is small conso-lation given the size of theeconomies of China (threetimes that of India), and of theUnited States (eight times thatof India).

The question remainswhether the measures that fi-nance minister NirmalaSitharaman has announced onFriday are enough to turnthings around. It may not.What is required is not mere-ly a slew of corrective meas-ures, but there is also a needfor change in the approach tothe issue of economic growth.The government is focusedon taking the Indian economyto the $5 trillion level. Thatmay happen in the nextdecade, but that would not re-ally make things easy for thepeople. India is still not thebest place for doing business,despite the improvement inthe “ease of doing business”ranking in the past five years.There is need for majorchanges at the ground level.The best-laid plans are notenough.

Signs of pragmatism in steps to boost economyThe Modi government’s eagerness to increase tax collections

could have made sense if the economy was doing wellThe Rs 70,000-crorerecapitalisationof public sectorbanks (PSBs),which wasannounced in theBudget speech, ismeant for creditofftake ingeneral and notnecessarily forbuying cars.

Torrent Gas opens 1stCNG station – CNG supply started in district PatialaPATIALA: The first CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) station of Patiala District was inaugurated by Torrent Gas at the retail outlet of HPCLat M/sGurmGoods Transport Company, Rajpura. Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) authorized Torrent Gas to establish City Gas Distribution (CGD) network in SAS Nagar, Patiala and Sangrur districts for setting up CNG stations and supply of Natural Gas to domestic, commercial and industrial consumers. Torrent Gas plans to establish more than 50 CNG stations across its authorised areas in Punjab over the next 5 years, to ensure widespread availability of CNG. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is now a preferred choice of smart, conscious vehicle owners. In fact many State governments have taken the lead to convert all public transport like Rickshaws, ST buses etc. to CNG. Commonly referred to as the green fuel, because of its lead and sulphur free character, CNG reduces harmful emissions thus reducing the effect of global warming. Not only is CNG a cleaner fuel, being non-corrosive, it enhances the longevity of the engine with ZERO compromise on engine power and a significant improvement in fuel efficiency.

esigner Kunal Rawal believes men are on the right track as far as fashion choices are concerned and are a lot more aware about the trends. The Dcouturier on Saturday showcased his latest menswear collection,

'Confluence' at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019, which was presented by boAT. "I think today men are a lot more sure about what they want. They are either understated or bold, but they are not unsure about what they want," Kunal told a news agency on the sidelines of the fashion gala, which closes Sunday. The designer, whose friend, actor Arjun Kapoor turned showstopper for him, said his latest range offers customised solutions to buyers. "This collection is about being 'you', having fun with your clothes and feeling good in what you were expressing yourself," he added. Uniquely defined textures and cuts in shades of black, white, beige, greys, olive green to blue and softer tones of pink were a breath of fresh air on the penultimate day of the fashion ala.

The electrifying performance by a live rock band added to the current of the show, which began with the sound and light dynamics of thunder and lightning. Floral motifs on solid-coloured jackets gave a twist to the understated quotient of the clothes. "We had a whole bunch of colours, silhouettes and models. Everyone had different interesting personalities according to me, because I did the casting myself," the designer said. Among the many models belonging to different ages, the show also saw actor Sanjay Kapoor's son Jahaan walk the ramp for the first time. The 14-year-old's father, mother Maheep Sandhu and sister Shanaya cheered for him in the front row. "We cater to different age groups. It's not meant for a specific kind of person," Kunal said about the clothing line. At a time when the idea of doing away with gender binaries is coming to the fore, the designer said there were a number of gender fluid pieces to his collection. "We have the crop bundies, which would look good on everybody.

Rahul next film celebratesthe lives of firefighters

irector Rahul Dholakia's next might be an action drama, celebrating and exploring the lives of firefighters. A source close to the director said that Dthe film's script has been locked. "It is a very nice and inspiring story

about a firefighter, who is our hero, named Tukaram. It is not a real-life story. The film celebrates these unsung heroes.

The film requires a lot of VFX work and pre-production," the source said. The film is most likely to go on floors this year.

Taylor Swift opens up about dealing with hatersinger-songwriter Taylor Swift, who never shies away from speaking her mind, opened up about dealing with haters and negativity. The 29-year-old singer said that she doesn't have an issue in apologising if she is wrong but isn't afraid of standing up for herself when she is been taken advantage of. "I'm still Ssomeone who is the first to apologize when I'm wrong," the Grammy Award-winning singer said in a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, as cited

by People. "But I think I'm better at standing up for myself when I've been wronged. So, that's something that I think also comes with growing up," she added. Opening up about a recent example, the 'Lover' songstress went on to double down on her assertion that she found out music manager Scooter Braun had purchased her former label, including her old songs following his USD 300 million deal with Big Machine. "Nobody knew," Swift said on being asked if anyone in her group had been told ahead of time. "I knew Big Machine co-owner Scott Borchetta would sell my music. I knew he would do that. I couldn't believe who he sold it to. Because we've had endless conversations about Scooter Braun. And he has 300 million reasons to conveniently forget those conversations," she said. The artist went on to share that she "absolutely" plans on re-recording her first six albums. The singer received support as well as flak when she publicly called out Braun and Borchetta after news of their deal went public. In a Tumblr post, Swift accused the manager of "manipulative bullying" and the weeks following became a game of he-said, she-said between the singer, Braun, and Borchetta, who first signed the superstar when she was a teen. Hours after the Tumblr post, Borchetta responded with a statement on the label's website, essentially accusing Swift of changing the truth according to her convenience. In his letter, Borchetta claimed that the deal he o f fered Swift gave her "100% of all Taylor Swift assets to be transferred to her immediately upon signing the new agreement." However, Swift's lawyer Donald Passman told People in a statement later that "Scott Borchetta never gave Taylor Swift an opportunity to purchase her masters, or the label, outright with a check in the way he is now apparently doing for others." During the CBS Sunday Morning interview, the singer went on to share that while she "absolutely" believes in forgiveness, not everybody deserves t a second chance. "People go on and on about how you have to forgive and forget to move past something. No, you don't. You don't have to forgive and you don't have to forget to move on. You can move on without any of those things happening. You just become indifferent and then you move on," she said. Swift, who recently reconciled with singer Katy Perry after a long-time feud, said.

"I felt really bad after the first WorldChampionships final and last year I wasangry, I was sad. I went through all myemotions, asking 'Sindhu, why can't youget this one match?' but today came and Itold myself to play my game and notworry - and it worked out," she added.

The 24-year-old from Hyderabad be-came the first Indian to achieve the featby thrashing familiar rival NozomiOkuhara of Japan 21-7 21-7 in one of themost lop-sided finals ever. It was thirdtime lucky for Sindhu, who lost toOkuhara and Olympic champion Caroli-na Marin of Spain respectively in the2017 and 2018 finals to settle for the sil-ver twice. Sindhu has been at the receiv-ing end of criticism for coming short inthe summit clashes of major events eversince the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she

had finished second best to Marin. Twoyears ago, Sindhu was denied the gold byOkuhara after an epic 110-minute finalthat went down as one of the greatest bat-tles in badminton history. The Indian alsolost the finals of the Gold Coast Com-monwealth Games, the Jakarta AsianGames, besides the World Champi-onships twice. She had also finished run-ners-up at Thailand Open and India Openlast year. The gold was her fifth medal atthe World Championships. She won abronze each in the 2013 and 2014 edi-tions. Sindhu is now the joint highestmedal-winner in women's singles in the World Championships history withformer Olympic champion Zhang Ningof China, who won an identical 1 gold, 2silver and 2 bronze between 2001 and2007.

This is my answer to those who questioned me: Sindhu

India thrash Windies by318 runs in first test

Bumrah leads bowlingattack with 5 wickets

AGENCYANTIGUA, AUG 26

Rahane’s first Test century in over two years laid theplatform for Indian seamers to blow away West In-dies’ top-order to secure their biggest ever away win(in terms of runs) in Test cricket.

After three relatively steady paced days of TestCricket, the opening fixture of the two-Test seriesburst into life on the fourth day in Antigua as Indiagot their ICC World Test Championship campaignoff to a winning start.

Resuming the day on 185/3, West Indies got offto the ideal start, with Roston Chase extracting aleading edge from India skipper Virat Kohli. TheWindies would have harboured hopes of runningthrough the Indian middle-order to leave themselveswith a chaseable fourth innings target.

Rahane continued his fine first-innings form andwith Hanuma Vihari, the pair helped India establisha towering lead. After his 81 earlier in the Test, Ra-hane was determined to notch a first Test century inover two years. That determination paid off as heregistered a 10th Test century – a welcome return toform for one of this India side’s most experiencedplayers.

Looking to increase the scoring rate, Rahane fellsoon after reaching the landmark, trying to hit Shan-non Gabriel over the in-field, only to be caught byWindies skipper Jason Holder at mid-off. Vihariplayed superbly, eventually falling seven runs shortof what would have been a maiden Test hundred. Hisdismissal signalled the end of the India innings asVirat Kohli declared with India on 343/7, leavingWest Indies needing to 419 to win, an ICC reportsaid.

West Indies were never in the run chase. In aspectacular opening burst, Ishant Sharma and JaspritBumrah combined to leave West Indies 15/5 at thetea interval. Wickets continued to fall after the breakas Bumrah collected figures of 8-4-7-5 to leave WestIndies 50/9. West Indies’ final pair, Kemar Roachand Miguel Cummins then put on a show for the An-tigua crowd, compiling 50 quickfire runs for theirside to offer a rare glimmer of light on an otherwisetesting day for the hosts.

Sharma took the final wicket to a 318-run winfor India, their largest in terms of runs away fromhome in their Test history. The victory also saw themclaim 60 points in their ICC World Test Champi-onship opener. The second Test of the series starts onAugust 30 in Kingston, Jamaica.

NEW DELHI; India captain Virat Kohli saidthat managing players' workload in the ICCWorld Test Championship is the 'most impor-tant thing'.

"That's probably the most important thingfor us right now, managing workload of play-ers," ICC quoted Kohli as saying.

Jasprit Bumrah displayed a brilliant formduring India's massive 318-run victory overWest Indies in the first Test match on Sunday.However, the pacer did not play the ODI seriesagainst West Indies.

Kohli said they wanted Bumrah to be freshfor the Test matches as he is going to be a 'keyfactor' for them in the Test Championship."That's why he (Bumrah) didn't play any white-ball cricket after the World Cup because wewanted him to be fresh for the Tests. He is go-ing to be a key factor for us as long as the Testchampionship continues. We know how good abowler he is. And the impact he can make in aspell," he said. After winning the first Test,Kohli has become the most successful captainfor India in overseas Tests. Kohli credited histeam and said nothing is possible without theteam. "It [captaincy] is a responsibility that I amfulfilling. It is a blessing that I am in a position

where I can contribute to the team in more thanone way. I like taking that responsibility, butnothing is possible without the team," Kohlisaid. "If these guys hadn't bowled or batted theway they have, we wouldn't have won the Testswe have. The credit can't be taken away fromthem at all, because I am just making decisionson the field. Execution is in their hand.

Kohli feels workloadmanagement is important

Proud to be part of thisteam: Bumrah NEW DELHI: After registering a comprehen-sive 318-run win over West Indies in the firstTest of the two-match series, Indian pacerJasprit Bumrah expressed joy to be a part ofa team to register India's biggest win by mar-gin overseas.In an Instagram post, Bumrah posted twopictures and wrote: "Biggest test victoryoverseas, so proud to be a part of this side"as the caption. Bumrah scalped five wicketsin the second innings, helping India bundleout Windies for just 100 runs. As a result, In-dia secured a thumping win.


Rishabh Pant's poor shot se-lection has caused his down-fall more often than not andVirender Sehwag on Mondayhoped the keeper-batsman"works to better his game"and justify the team manage-ment's faith.

The 21-year-old Pant isbeing seen as MahendraSingh Dhoni's successoracross format but of late hasbeen criticised for his shot se-

lection at crucial junctures,more so during the ongoingseries against the West Indies.

However, Sehwag wants

people to show patience withthe young left-handed bats-man.

"Pant is an extremely tal-ented cricketer with huge po-tential. It will be importantthat he is groomed well," Se-hwag told a news agency."And now that he has been as-sured some quality time in theteam it is important that hemakes the best use of the op-portunity and works to betterhis game and develop as acricketer," he added. Sehwagis hopeful that the current In-

dian team can do well, withthe quality of pacers and thebench at its disposal. Asked ifthis team can win the WorldTest Championship in 2021,Sehwag said: "Two years is along time. Yes the team is ingood hands. I wish RaviShastri all the luck for his sec-ond innings and Virat Kohliall the very best. "We havegood bench strength, qualityfast bowlers and spinningprospects. We need to nowsettle the team combina-tions," Sehwag added.

His remarks came after England'sthrilling one-wicket win in the third Testat Headingley on Sunday.

"We turn up to Manchester or ournext training session in a much betterframe of mind, rather than have guyssulking or whatever you want to call it. Ithurts, deal with it, move on," Interna-tional Cricket Council (ICC) quotedPaine as saying.

All-rounder Ben Stokes played oneof the finest knocks in Test cricket as heguided England to an improbable winagainst Australia.

The left-handed batsman went on toplay an unbeaten knock of 135 runs.

Chasing 359 for the win, Englandwere left 286/9, still, 73 runs away fromthe target.

It was then Stokes decided to play inan aggressive manner and he took on theAussie bowlers, smashing them allaround the park.

He found support in the numbereleven batsman Jack Leach and the duostitched together an unbeaten partnershipof 76 runs, in which Leach only con-tributed 1 run from 17 balls.
