NEW DELHITaking serious note of mounting

civic amenities' dues of MPs, politi-cians and political parties, the DelhiHigh Court on Friday said paymentsfor current use cannot spill overbeyond three months, after whichnon-payment can lead to snapping oftheir water, power and telephoneconnections.

The civic bodies were also directedto initiate proceedings for recoveryof arrears within six months.

Those contesting elections willhave to submit a no dues certificatefrom the civic agencies if they haveavailed of government accommoda-tion and related facilities.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohiniand Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlawobserved there was "total lack ofwill" and "inertia" on the part of gov-ernment agencies to recover duesfrom MPs, politicians and politicalparties over last 18 years.

Noting that public bodies do notshow the same zeal with which theyrecover dues from ordinary citizenswhere people with power are con-cerned, the bench directed the agen-cies to ensure that arrears do notaccumulate for more than threemonths.

After three months, the agencies,

including New Delhi MunicipalCouncil, MTNL, BSNL and theEstate Office, have been directed todisconnect the amenities/facilitiesand to initiate recovery proceedingswithin six months.

The bench decided to issue thedirections as "neither the cajoling bythis court of the governmental agen-cies, to whom dues are owed, couldspur them into action for recoverynor the different avenues explored bythe court to effect recovery of duesfrom the defaulter politicians andpolitical parties have had any sub-stantial success."

The court while issuing directionsalso noted that the "defaulter politi-cians and political parties are foundto have misused their position ofpower for their own benefit andgain".

The court also said,"All have in theprocess forgotten the social philoso-phy and philosophy of law in thisarea which emphatically requires thatoffices of public power shall not bethe workshops of personal gain.

"Those wielding power, have madeit an instrument of self seeking, for-getting that power is like a trust andthat abuse of authority by those inpower inevitably causes mass disillu-sionment and results in public frus-

tration."The 15-page judgement penned by

Justice Endlaw came on a PIL byNGO Krishak Bharat alleging thatsome former MPs vacated their offi-cial residences after their tenuresended without paying electricity,water and telephone dues.As part ofits directions, the court orderedElection

Commission (ECI) to make itmandatory for candidates contestingParliament and Assembly electionswho have been using governmentaccommodation to furnish No DuesCertificate from the agency provid-ing electricity, water and telephone tothe said accommodation.

"The ECI to, within six monthshereof, also consider the possibilityof requiring political parties fieldingcandidates in any election to also fur-nish an affidavit that they are not inarrears of any electricity, water, tele-phone or other public dues, as a pre-condition to their fielding candidatesin any election," the court said.

"The ECI to also within six monthsconsider the possibility if any of put-ting any impediment to a defaulter ofpublic dues contesting election, toensure quick recovery of the saiddues," it said.

These rankings are based onthe extent of open defecation andsolid waste management prac-tices, according to a governmentrelease. The city of Mysore leadsthe cities with minimal opendefecation and extensive adop-tion of solid waste management

practices.Thirty-nine cities from the

southern states were among thetop 100, followed by 27 fromEast, 15 from West, 12 fromNorth and seven from the North-Eastern states.

Fifteen of the 27 capital citiessurveyed figured among the top100 performers while five wereranked beyond 300.

Bengaluru leads the list of cap-itals at 7th rank while Patna cameat the bottom at 429th.

Among the bottom 100 cities,74 are from North, 21 from East,three from West and two fromSouth.

The top 10 ranked cities areMysore, Thiruchirapalli (TamilNadu), Navi Mumbai, Kochi(Kerala), Hassan, Mandya andBengaluru from Karnataka,Thiruvananthapuram, Halisahar

All the 476 Class-1 cities in 31States and Union Territories,each with a population of aboveone lakh were surveyed forassessing total sanitation prac-tices covering a set of parametersincluding the extent of open defe-cation, solid waste management,septage management, wastewater treatment, drinking waterquality, surface water quality ofwater bodies and mortality due to

water born diseases.The survey, conducted during

2014-15, was commissioned bythe Ministry of UrbanDevelopment as required underthe National Sanitation Policy of2008.

Since the Swachh BharatMission is being implemented inurban areas with focus on con-struction of individual house-hold, community and public toi-lets to eradicate open defecationand ensure door-to-door collec-tion and disposal of municipalsolid waste, all the 476 Class-1cities have been ranked based onthe data pertaining to these ele-ments.

This helps in assessing thepresent situation in these cities sothat they can undertake necessaryinterventions to meet SwachhBharat Mission targets in urban

areas.Overall sanitation rankings of

these cities based on a total of100 marks assigned to differentparameters covering all aspectswould be announced later.

The Swachh Bharat rankingsare based on a total of 42 marksincluding 20 for open defecationindicators and 22 for solid wastemanagement indicators.

"The trust deficit or the credibilitycrisis is purely because of the fact thatpolice continue to work under theNarendra Modi government. It shouldstop conspiring against the public andfocus on women's security instead, oth-erwise it stands discredited," he said.

who was working in Qatarhas joined the dreaded ter-ror outfit Islamic State inIraq and Syria (ISIS),reports said on Saturday.

Reports suggest that thescribe, whose identifica-tion has not been con-firmed, used to work with adaily in Palakkad, Kerala.In 2014, he asked thenewspaper management totransfer him to Qatar.

Reports further say thatthe Kerala journalist camein contact with the ISIS viasocial media. The familyand his friends persuadedhim not to travel to WestAsia, but he refused tobudge.

Last year he managed toflee to Qatar. Meanwhile, itis still unclear whether thejournalist used to work forthe same newspaper or anyother media house whilehis stay in Doha.

It is being said that thescribe came in contact withsome IS members whilehis stay in Qatar and subse-quently fled to Syria to jointhe terror outfit.

As of now seven Indiansare currently with ISIS,with just one in a combatrole. Six other Indians,who had joined the dread-ed terror network havegone down fighting.

According to officialsources, two of the sevenIndians with IS are fromMumbai's outskirts -Kalyan, and one is anAustralia-based Kashmiri.Four others joined theJihadist group fromTelangana, Karnataka'scapital Bengaluru, Omanand Singapore.

Among the six Indianswho got killed while fight-ing alongside IS, threewere Indian Mujahideenterrorists, including SultanAjmer Shah and Bada

Sajid, who had joined itsranks after being inPakistan, two fromMaharashtra and one fromTelangana.

Quoting intelligenceinputs, sources said, exceptfor one, none of the sixother Indians currentlywith IS are allowed to gofor combat duty and most-ly assist the fighters, serv-ing as cooks, drivers andhelpers.

The only Indian, who hasbeen given an assault rifleand is deployed for com-bat, hails from Mumbaioutskirts Kalyan, they said.

So far, 17 young men,mostly from Telangana,have been prevented fromtravelling to Syria, ostensi-bly to join IS.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAMA day after hitting hard

at Sonia Gandhi and RahulGandhi over the Lalit Modiissue, BJP on Saturdayaccused Congress of mak-ing 'baseless accusationsfor personal political gains'and 'running away' fromdebate in Parliament.

Congress was not readyto take up challenge butmaking baseless allega-tions for 'personal politicalgain', Union HRDMinister, Smriti Irani toldreporters at the airporthere.

Irani was replying to aquery on Congress VicePresident Rahul Gandhiseeking to know how muchmoney was received bySushma Swaraj's familyfrom former IPL chiefLalit Modi.

"I think it is extremelyunfortunate that baselessaccusations are being madefor personal political gains.I am of the opinion that ifthere is any issue withregard to debate, theyshould come to Lok Sabhaand debate," she said.

"Sushmaji has thrown anopen challenge publicly to

come to Parliament withany one paper to prove herwrong. That challenge can-not be taken up byCongress Party and that iswhy they are running awayfrom a debate inParliament," she said.

It was the responsibilityof every parliamentarian toensure that his or her pres-ence reflects the voice ofpeople. "That's why thepeople elect them as amember of parliament,"Irani added.

Earlier, addressing afunction here, the Ministerclaimed the BJP-led NDA

government had imple-mented, within a year of itscoming to power, severalpromises which Congressfailed to fulfil in 60 yearsof its rule.

Citing the announcementof an IIT for Kerala inNDA government's firstbudget itself and its launchlast week, she said "IIT forKerala was a promiseCongress had made but itwas never fulfilled."

Irani took a dig at formerUnion Minister of State forHuman ResourceDevelopment and localMP, Shashi Tharoor, say-

ing "what the CongressHRD Minister did not dofor the state, BJP had ful-filled within a year."

Another major achieve-ment of NDA was the pass-ing of the Indian Institutesof Information Technology(IIIT) legislation whichwas pending in Parliamentduring the previous UPArule, Irani said.

She also claimed herministry had achievedgood progress in the targetof setting up separate toi-lets for girls and boys ingovernment schools in thecountry.

NEW DELHIPrime Minister Narendra

Modi on Saturday con-demned the series ofattacks in Afghanistan andoffered his condolences tothe families of the victims.

PM Modi took to Twitterand wrote: “I strongly con-demn the gruesome andcowardly attacks inAfghanistan. My thoughtsare with families of thedeceased and prayers withthe injured.”

Fifteen more fatalitieswere confirmed Saturdayfrom a barrage of bomb-ings in Kabul, taking thetoll to 51 in the deadliestday in the Afghan capitalsince the NATO combatmission ended inDecember.

The explosions on

Friday, which devastatedbuildings and over-whelmed hospitals withhundreds of casualties,were the first major mili-tant assaults on Kabulsince the announcement ofTaliban leader MullahOmar`s death.

The attacks underscoredthe volatile security situa-tion in Afghanistan amid afaltering peace process and

the potency of the Talibaninsurgency despite beingriven by growing internaldivisions.

In the first attack, a pow-erful truck bomb torethrough the centre ofKabul just after midnighton Friday, killing 15 civil-ians and wounding 240others.

Less than 24 hours later,27 cadets and civilians

were killed when a suicidebomber dressed in policeuniform blew himself up atthe entrance of KabulPolice Academy.

Explosions and gunfirealso erupted when CampIntegrity, a US specialforces base in Kabul, cameunder attack late Friday,killing nine people, includ-ing a NATO service mem-ber. The Taliban distancedthemselves from the truckbombing which struck neara Kabul military base -- asthey usually do in attacksthat result in mass civiliancasualties.

But they claimed respon-sibility for both otherattacks, which marked aserious breach of securityat a premier training insti-tute for Afghan forces anda foreign coalition facility.

The capture of fidayeenMohammad Naved aliasQasim Khan — call him

Qasab II — during a terroristattack in Udhampur, just daysafter the assault on Gurdaspur, isa significant achievement of thesecurity forces and villagedefence squads. It also shows thedetermination of the handlers inPakistan to disrupt and derail the68th Independence Day celebra-tions and the proposed NSA-level talks and test the new gov-ernment's tolerance threshold.

In a significant policy shift thegovernment has not called offthe NSA talks as it is determinedto confront Pakistan with the liveevidence of a Qasab II.However, the element that hasbeen missing from India's policyof combating cross-border ter-rorism for decades is retribution.

While deeply analytical, themention of an Indian deterrent tofend off such terror attacks fromPakistan is conspicuous by itsabsence in recent articles on theGurdaspur attack. It is this miss-ing ingredient of India’s internalsecurity policy that has encour-aged Islamabad to expand thegeography and frequency ofcross-border terrorism beyondJ&K to Punjab, for the first timeafter the 26/11 strikes onMumbai in 2008.

No deterrence

Speaking in Mumbai this weekon the use of hard power,National Security Advisor(NSA) Ajit Doval emphasisedthe need for India to have a“deterrence against attacks on itssoil”. This rephrasing of similarcomments made earlier suggeststhat an appropriate but belatedresponse is in the making.

In his very erudite article, M.K. Narayanan, a former NSA,writes at length about the chal-

lenges posed by terrorism ema-nating from Pakistan. He pro-poses that as cross-border terror-ism intensified in J&K, itdeclined in Punjab. Now, hesays, as terrorism has declined inJ&K, it may return in Punjab,where conditions are ripe for anescalation . He is right. The link-age between Kashmir andKhalistan was made by the ISI inits famous “K2 Project” attempt-ed in early 1990s but the idea ofKhalistan was nipped in the budby the Punjab police.

However, while Mr Narayananmakes an inventory of defensivemeasures, there is not a whiff ofhow to punish Pakistan. Thesteadfast pursuit of “not losingan inch of land” has, sadly, breda passive and defensive mindsetamong Indian security forces.

In the run-up to the hanging ofYakub Memon, the word 'deter-rent' was dropped by politicalleaders and intellectuals likeconfetti at a wedding.Retribution has a sobering effecton sponsors of terror andPakistan's indefatigable pursuitof it has been whetted by theabsence of a response. Theattacks in Gurdaspur andUdhampur are stark reminders ofthis.

Policy dead end

Despite a strenuous spin to itsPakistan policy, portrayed asmore muscular than that of theUPA , it is becoming clear thatthe new government has hit a culde sac. After raising the bar forresuming the dialogue process, ithas had to make a dramaticclimbdown. As the internationalborder and LoC resonate withartillery, there is no sign ofrestoration of calm.Terror andtalks will go hand-in-hand whenthe two NSAs, armed with theirrespective dossiers on Gurdaspurand Udhampur, and R&AWmeet on August 23 and 24 at

New Delhi.

What has changed is the lan-guage of warnings to Pakistan.Home Minister Rajnath Singhhas threatened to give a 'befittingreply'. In a chaotic Rajya Sabha,over the din, he vowed “an effec-tive and forceful response” to theDinanagar assault by thePakistani fidayeen whom hereferred to as “enemies of India”.Earlier, Foreign Secretary S.Jaishankar had made a genericremark that the response to terrorwill be “disproportionate andunpredictable and at a time andplace of our choosing”. Be itDinanagar or Udhampur, thecharade of a “befitting reply” isrepeated ad nauseum on IndianTV channels, where super-charged anchors, accompaniedby their over-enthusiastic pan-elists, pay back their Pakistanicounterparts in high decibelswith choice invectives, recount-ing the history of treachery infouled battles and clandestinecampaigns. Calling Pakistanis'cowards' appears to be the acmeof retribution.

We are told that new fencesand walls are to be put up to pre-vent terrorists from swimmingacross the Ravi river that thefidayeen crossed last month tosurprise the Dinanagar policestation. In the past we have builtcanals and ditch-cum-bunds,erected minefields and smartfencing on the IB and LoC andadopted anti-and counter-infil-tration and counter-insurgencygrids by thickening troop densi-ty. These measures have con-tained insurgency in J&K, butnot brought an end to it. Thefocus now, as in the past, isstrengthening defensive meas-ures.

Forceful language

Is India being self-deterredfrom delivering a befittingreply? Over the last several

months, signals emanatingfrom NSA Ajit Doval andDefence Minister ManoharParrikar were very encourag-ing. Mr Parrikar spoke aboutusing terrorists to remove ter-rorists and re-creating deepassets dismantled by defaultearlier. Mr Doval has been urg-ing Pakistan to end terrorismand at least once warned: “youdo another Mumbai, you loseBalochistan”.

One must assume that thebefitting reply — effective,forceful, disproportionate andunpredictable — is in the mak-ing, to be delivered at a timeand place of India's choosing.Translating words into anactionable deterrent is the chal-lenge for policymakers.

Two other aspects requireattention: prevention of and aquicker response to the fiday-een assaults. The guru of count-er-terrorism K .P.S. Gill, underwhose charge Khalistan terror-ism was ended in Punjab, statedafter the Dinanagar attack:“You don't prepare for terror-ism after it has happened.”Fidayeen infiltrate across theLoC/IB, strike targets in Jammuand some even get away. Overthe years, the Indian securityforces have frequently dealtwith terrorists holed up in vil-lages and hideouts in theSrinagar vallley and elsewhere.All the operational experienceto end a crisis situation hasbeen assimilated but not institu-tionalised for re-use. That iswhy units take inordinatelylong to finish the operation.

The lackadaisical deportmentof personnel at the Dinanagarpolice station showed theabsence of operational readi-ness and preparedness despitethe general alert. Counter-ter-rorism skills, acquired by thePunjab police in early 1990s,were obviously not passed

down; else the response wouldhave been more professionaland the police post would nothave caved in. It took all of 12hours for Punjab police's SWATteam, trained in Israel, to over-come three fidayeen. As onewatched on TV the melee oftroops, police and onlookers, itwas obvious that the lessons ofMumbai had not been heeded:of no live coverage of counter-terrorism operations. Closurewas brought half a day after theattack, with the fidayeen givenlive coverage and the ultimateoxygen of publicity. AnAmerican woman trapped inTaj Mumbai during 26/11 onher rescue at the end of theoperation while exiting thehotel angrily told a police offi-cer: “there were six terrorists.And you took three days.”

In Dinanagar and Udhampur,Pakistan was testing India'sresponse to a terror attack, thefirst outside J&K afterMumbai. Some governmentsources are claiming that thecivilian government in Pakistanwas unaware of these attacks.That is possible, even probable.However, the autonomy of thePunjab-based terrorist groupslike the Lashkar-e-Taiba orJaish-e-Mohammad actingindependently of the ISI isunlikely. Either way, it duckstwo questions: how will Indiarespond to the next big attacksourced in Pakistan; and why isthe deterrent overt or covert orboth, taking so long to materi-alise? Is it the lack of politicalwill? Because the man on thestreet is asking “iska kuchhhoga” (will something be doneof this) to end cross-border ter-rorism. The government mustgive a befitting reply.

The meaning of cheaper oil

Hope, tempered by realism

BY G. SAMPATH

It is fairly well established that thepast three decades have witnesseda worldwide growth in inequality.

This phenomenon is often evoked inthe same breath as the extraordinarysalaries and bonuses that financiers— investment bankers and fund man-agers — pay themselves.

Clearly, financial institutions suchas hedge funds and investment banksare able to generate huge profits,which is why they can afford humon-gous compensation packages. Butwhat exactly is the source of financialprofit? And, what is the link betweenrising financial profits and growinginequality of wealth/income?

Before we can answer these ques-tions, it is necessary to contextualisethis phenomenon.

First, rising inequality and sky-rocketing financial profits have paral-leled the rise of neo-liberalism — aterm used to refer to a cluster of eco-nomic policies that includes privati-sation, cuts in welfare spending, loos-ening of labour laws, and deregula-tion of finance. If there is one com-mon factor that undergirds all theseeconomic policies — it is the rise ofglobal finance, or “financialization”,which also denotes the growing pen-etration of real economic activity (todo with generating surplus value) byfinance capital.

In his book, The Everyday Life ofGlobal Finance, the economic geog-rapher, Paul Langley, explains howthe common view of global financeas something “out there somewhere”— timeless, spaceless, identifiedwith 24X7 global markets — is falla-cious. It is simply not true thatfinance operates primarily in a rar-efied realm of super-specialists farremoved from the world of everydayeconomic activity such as earning,saving and borrowing.

On the contrary, Langley argues,global finance has fundamentallyreengineered the ordinary ways wethink about and manage money.

Where risk enjoys a good press

Till the generation say right up tothe 1980s, the future was conceivedas a realm of uncertainty, one thatheld possible harm, for which oneprovisioned through thrift — specifi-cally, savings and insurance.Financialisation is born when uncer-tainty is quantified into risk. How weframe risk, calculate it, and manageit, decides what we do with ourmoney.

In Langley’s formulation, if risk iscalculated and managed as a futureharm that requires prudence in thepresent, it makes for an approach ofthrift and savings. But if it is framedas an opportunity that holds the pos-sibility of immense rewards, it man-dates an approach where the mostrational form of saving becomesinvestment.

Therefore, at the ideological level,financialisation entails two basicmanoeuvres: one, the transformationof nebulous uncertainty into quantifi-able risk, which is then managedthrough an array of calculative tech-nologies; two, a shift in the commonsense understanding of risk as some-thing potentially harmful, to some-thing potentially rewarding.

Given that risk is essentially afinancial category, the current civili-sational obsession with data is anoth-er testament to the growing suprema-cy of finance capital (in alliance withtechnology), which wants everypiece of the world’s data on anythingand everything in order to be able tomanage risk optimally for maximumreturns.

Your PF is not a saving anymore

To be sure, you won’t find the aver-age salary-earner poring over price-to-earnings ratios on a daily basis.Yet, we are all financial investorstoday — either directly or via mutualfunds or through insurance or pen-sion funds that have exposure to cap-ital markets.

The recent government move toallow the investment of EmployeesProvident Fund Organisation (EPFO)money in the stock market basicallytakes the matter out of the individ-ual’s hands. So, it is not just the richand the middle classes, but the poortoo who must become investors,which is why it has become vital tosubstitute the provision of essentialsurvival goods with cash transfers. Itis the logic behind the neo-liberalstate’s enthusiasm for so-calledfinancial inclusion through schemessuch as the Jan Dhan Yojana, whosebank accounts would presumablychannel portions of personal income(either wages or cash transfers) tofinancial markets via schemes suchas the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha BimaYojana and Atal Pension Yojana.

The objective of these so-calledsocial insurance schemes is less toserve as savings to be drawn uponwhen needed, than as another sourceof liquidity for the financial markets.Why else would one want to cap pre-mature withdrawals of PF — all toooften the only savings for many — at75 per cent, with proposals to lowerthe cap further to 50 per cent? But itmakes perfect sense in the context ofthe move to invest PF savings in thecapital market.

The flipside of ensuring that onecannot save without investing is thatone cannot spend without borrowing.

As one of the largest corpuses ofworkers’ savings, the EPFO is again agood case study: another governmentproposal — to use the future streamof EPFO contributions for housingloan interest payments — heralds thearrival of the already indebted Indianworker as a tradable ‘security’ in theglobal financial market.

The engine of financialisation

It is a basic of Economics 101 thatsaving is not the same as investing.Savings are income that is not con-sumed. Investment is savings con-verted into capital with the objective

of producing profit.

When the aam aadmi’s savedincome, say, in the EPFO, is investedin equity, or when your bank manag-er asks you to put your savings in amutual fund rather than in a fixeddeposit, or when you take a homeloan not because you need shelter butas an investment, you are willy-nillyparticipating in the logic of globalfinance — profiting without produc-ing, purely by managing risk.

In plain terms, what financialisa-tion does is to transfer (or spread) theburden of risk from institutions suchas banks, or the state, onto the indi-vidual worker or household. Even so,when big banks — whose job is riskassessment — mess up, prevailingwisdom mandates that they be bailedout. It is no such luck, however, forthe common man who, in a finan-cialised state, will typically have topay for the mistakes of private finan-cial institutions through higher taxesand less of public goods and ameni-ties.

The extraction of financial profit

In his book, Profiting WithoutProducing: How Finance Exploits UsAll, the Greek economist, CostasLapavitsas, lists three defining fea-tures of a financialising economy:one, a growing distance betweennon-financial enterprises and banks;two, banks seeking revenue morefrom financial markets and lending tohouseholds than from lending toindustry; and three, an increasinginterpenetration between streams ofpersonal income and networks ofglobal finance.

All three phenomenon are evidentin India. The business journalist,Vivek Kaul, has pointed out in aseries of articles how, even as overalllending by banks in India has sloweddown, home loans have continued togrow at the same pace. Home loansformed 11 per cent of total bankloans given out during the period ofone year ending May 2013. Thisjumped to 12.5 per cent by May

2014. For the period ending May2015, home loans accounted for 19.6per cent of the overall portfolio.

This single phenomenon confirmsall of Lapavitsas’s three criteria. Anexpanding home loan portfoliomeans that banks in India areincreasingly looking to futurestreams of personal income for prof-its. It also means companies are turn-ing less and less to bank loans forraising capital, and preferring to relymore on capital markets. In fact, inthe April-June quarter of the currentfinancial year, fund-raising from themarkets by Indian companies stoodat Rs.1.73 lakh crore — more thandouble the corresponding figure lastyear. Finally, given that banks raiseloanable capital from money mar-kets, there is a growing inter-connec-tion between financial profit andfuture earnings of individuals.

Given that financialisation is not aneutral economic phenomenon buthas real social consequences, thenext question is the one we beganwith: what is the source of financialprofit?

We know that the returns on finan-cial (also termed “speculative”) cap-ital have consistently outstrippedthose on productive capital(deployed in manufacturing or serv-ices to generate output).

We also know that the source ofprofit for productive capital is thesurplus value created. The source ofprofit for banking capital is interest,based on the time value of money.But financial profit, such as the mil-lions earned instantly by foundersfrom an initial public offering, orcapital gains earned from trading insecurities, have nothing to do withvalue creation. So, where does theprofit come from?

While the technical details arebeyond the scope of this piece,Lapavitsas’s answer is that financialprofit is ultimately derived from twochannels: expropriation of a portionof surplus value generated by pro-

ductive capital, and expropriation ofa portion of personal income earnedby workers (as they turn investors,borrowers, and with rising indirecttaxes, even as tax payers).

What does this mean exactly forthe aam aadmi? To begin with, afuture of rising indebtedness. Facedwith an expropriation of profit byfinance capital, productive capitalcan be quite choosy about invest-ment. But labour does not have theoption of desisting indefinitely fromemployment, which is why in a cap-italist society, financial expropria-tion will ultimately be at the cost ofthe wage-earning classes, leading toindebtedness.

The debt could take the form ofdirect, household debt. Figures fromthe National Sample Survey Officereveal that in the decade (2002-2012) when India grew the fastest,which was also a period of rapidfinancialisation, household debtgrew by seven times in urban Indiaand by four times in rural India —the bulk of this debt being incurredfor essentials such as housing andeducation.

The debt burden could also be indi-rect. Here, servicing sovereign debtwill take precedence over publicinvestment for development, as ishappening with Greece and Spain.These debt payments will come fromfuture streams of tax revenueextracted from the working popula-tion through a multitude of income-indifferent, evasion-proof indirecttaxes such as Value Added Tax andGoods and Service Tax.

So, is it at all possible for a lifelongwage-earner to secure, or feel secureabout, her post-employment future ina financialised world where savingslose value unless they becomefinance capital?

And which in turn, holds the ever-present threat of losses on account ofthe risks inherent in investment?Perhaps not. This may explain whyour age has been described as “therisk society”.

The widening vortex of global finance

Fight For Right

World oil prices, already lower than they havebeen in six months, are not likely to recoveranytime soon, going by market conditions. A

further increase in supply, compounding the current glut,and a parallel contraction in demand in the major consum-ing nations, are likely to keep prices low. The ongoing fallin prices stems largely from simple demand-supplymechanics. The shale revolution in the United States hasdrastically increased the supply of oil. And several interna-tional events are likely to further boost supply to levels farexceeding demand. Notably, the nuclear deal between Iranand the West has further depressed prices owing to theexpectation that sanctions on Iran would soon be lifted,allowing it to again supply oil to the world. In addition,Saudi Arabia is moving strongly to increase refinerycapacity, which will further add to global supplies. Thiscomes on top of OPEC output in July hitting its highestlevels in recent history. On the demand side, the increasedsupply has been met by recessionary or slow-growth con-ditions in most industrialised countries, which have great-ly moderated their consumption since the economic crisis.Now, however, this contracting demand has been com-pounded by slowing economic growth in China, one of thebiggest consumers of oil. Falling oil prices serve as goodnews for some, but pretty bad news for others. Russia, forexample, has 70 per cent of its export income coming fromoil and gas. Falling oil prices, thus, have hit the Russianeconomy hard — the country, it is reported, loses about $2billion in revenues for the fall of every dollar in oil prices.The World Bank has warned that the Russian economywould shrink by at least 0.7 per cent this year if oil pricesdo not rebound. On the flip side, European economies arelikely to welcome falling oil prices, beset by poor growthand low inflation as they currently are. Some estimatespredict that a 10 per cent fall in oil prices could lead to a0.1 per cent increase in output for them. India is one ofthose countries that stand to benefit significantly fromfalling prices. The country imports about 75 per cent of itsoil needs, so cheaper oil benefits it directly by easing thecurrent account deficit while simultaneously lowering thegovernment’s petroleum subsidy burden. However, the lat-ter point is now somewhat mitigated by the fact that petroland diesel prices have been decontrolled. The month ofJuly saw two separate cuts in the prices of petrol and diesel— although the question that really needs to be asked iswhy petrol and diesel prices are not being cut commensu-rate to the fall in global prices. Will that question beaddressed anytime soon?

RSS's Ulema...of 'Jihad'.All Indian Muslim Personal Law Board

(AIMPLB) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH)did not participate in the event.

Kendriya Pracharak of RashtriyaSwayamsewak Sangh Indresh Kumar empha-sised that it was high time that the message ofProphet Muhammad for peace was propagat-ed across the globe and asked the Muslims ofIndia to a play a key role in it.

Addressing the meet, Manch convenorMohd Afzal said all sects of Muslims,whether Deobandi, Shia, Sunni or Barelviwere on one platform.

"Terrorism has nothing to do with Islamand Muslims would not remain a vote bank,"he said, and asked Muslims to follow theideals of former President APJ Abdul Kalam.

Hazrat Maulana Qasim said Islam wasbeing defamed in the name of 'Jihad' by thosewho do not know its meaning.

"Jihad means spreading light. It is a fightagainst darkness," he said at the meetingwhere no prominent Muslim leader from thestate capital was present.

Maulana Ibrahim from Karnataka said noperson was a Muslim only by name. He saidthose acting against humanity could not betrue Muslims.

Maulana Haider alleged that politiciansprovoked Muslims against RSS and Hindusagainst minorities.

Senior RSS functionary Kunar said thatMuslims would live

and die for India."Now Muslims will lay down their lives for

motherland (India) and not for any othercountry," Kumar said. He said India has to bemade free from terror, riots, violence andhatred.

Kumar said a number of riots took place inthe country, killing scores of people, butnothing has been achieved.

"We are still far away from employment,education and progress. Are we here only toboost political ambitions of a handful lead-ers," the RSS leader asked.

Without naming ruling Samajwadi Party, healleged that a particular political party con-sidered Muslims as their vote bank, but itwould not be so any longer.

Kumar said the manner in which peopleraised Quit India slogan in 1942 againstBritish rule, they should give a message of

terror, riot, violence and hatred-free India.When Kumar arrived at the venue, some

Muslim youths tried to show black flags andraised slogans. The conference was attendedby around 1,200 Ulemas.

Process on to...visited a temple with her father. Then she

wrote down `Vaishno Devi`. With thesedetails, please help locate Gita`s family," theminister tweeted.

On Tuesday, Sushma had announced thatthe government will bring Gita back to Indiaafter Indian High Commissioner TCARaghavan met Gita at the Edhi Foundation inKarachi where the young woman has beenstaying for the past 15 years after she acci-dentally strayed into Pakistani territory.

Sushma had requested the envoy to go toKarachi to meet Gita.

Leading Pakistani human rights activistAnsar Burney, who has been closely pursuingGita`s case, had travelled to India in October2012 with photographs of the woman but wasunable to make progress.

In 2003, Gita -- then 11-years old -- wasspotted by the Pakistan Rangers in Lahore,after she strayed across the border.

The girl was handed over to the EdhiFoundation, a social welfare organisation inPakistan.

Bilquis Edhi, who runs the EdhiFoundation, has named her Gita.

According to reports, Gita is a vegetarianand has set up a small "mandir" in her roomat the Edhi Foundation where she prays toIndian gods and goddesses. She also observesthe Ramadan fast.

Mughals did ...(1857) was cow fat which was used in car-

tridges. This shows the faith of peopletowards cow," he said.

Forest Minister Prakash Javadekar said thegovernment was mulling cultivating grass inforest areas under the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment GuaranteeScheme and making the grass available tofarmers in villages without charging for it.

"The scheme shall be made effective soon,"he added.

The minister further said the governmentwas considering increasing grants offered forsetting up "goshala" (cow-sheds) from thecurrent Rs.22 lakh.

Javadekar identified increasing cow milkproductivity as another challenge before thegovernment and lauded the role played by theBharatiya Janata Party government inHaryana, which has announced a subsidy.

"Until what time our cows will continue toproduce milk up to 2 litres? We need toincrease it.

"The Haryana government has taken initia-tives to encourage those who increase cowmilk production from two litres to six litreswith a reward of Rs.10,000 and thereon formore production. They are also offering sub-sidy to purchase cows which is a progressiveincentivisation," he said.

Radhe Maa breaks...crore at the time of the marriage.In her complaint lodged by the Kandivali

police last week, the 32-year-old complainanthas claimed that Radhe Maa allegedly askedher in-laws, including her chartered account-ant husband, to make more dowry demandsfrom her.

Activist-lawyer Falguni Brahmbhatt alsolodged a separate complaint at Borivali policestation against Radhe Maa for running a busi-ness disguised as religion and misleadingpeople.

Radhe Maa claims to be a self-confessedfan of actor and former adult movie starSunny Leone. Her pictures in short dresses,gyrating to Bollywood tunes with her devo-tees during satsangs (religious discourses)have gone viral on the social media networks.

US cites..."No longer would countries like India, who

have been making a substantial sacrifice overthe years, have any interest or incentive tocontinue to enforce those sanctions againstIran," Earnest said.

"There is no basis, there is no credibleclaim for why they would be willing to dothat," he said.

"And there is no denying the significantnegative impact on United States credibilityfor the United States to be isolated in thisway."

"That`s why the President has said ifCongress were to move forward to kill thisdeal or kill this agreement, it would, in fact,yield a better deal for Iran," Earnest said.

"Because what we would see is that Iranwould get sanctions relief; they would havethe ability to sell oil to India and get the pro-ceeds of doing so...without having to submitto the most intrusive set of inspections thathave ever been imposed on a country`snuclear programme," he said.

"That`s why I`ve long said that the casebefore Congress is that Iran is going to getsanctions relief," Earnest said.

"The question is whether or not the UnitedStates and the international community isgoing to get anything for it."

"And that is ultimately the choice beforemembers of Congress right now," he said.

Earnest recalled that when the sanctions

were originally put in place US officials trav-eled around the world "including to India, satdown with the Indian government and askedthem to curtail the amount of Iranian oil thatthey imported into the country."

"And we acknowledged in the context ofthose discussions that this would be an eco-nomic sacrifice that the people of India andthat the economy of India would have tomake," he said.

"But Indian leaders agreed to it by sayingthat this is something that they were willingto do if they can advance our effort to preventIran from obtaining a nuclear weaponthrough diplomacy," Earnest said.

In response to another question, Earnestsaid that he was not aware of any planned vis-its by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to theWhite House in conjunction with his travel tothe United States for the UN GeneralAssembly next month.

Congress running...stand exposed by then," the Energy, New

and Renewable Energy Minister said."Truth will prevail finally once the probe

into it gets completed. We just have to waitfor some time," he said.

Shukla alleged that Congress was afterChouhan as it failed to unseat him in the lasttwo Assembly elections due to his "clean,people-friendly image and immense popular-ity".

"Their only mission is to defame Chouhanby hook or crook.

They have realised that as long as Chouhanleads BJP in Madhya Pradesh, they can'twrest power from it in the state," he said.

Without naming any leader, he said the MPCongress, with a feudal mindset, was afterChouhan as he happens to be a farmer's son.Chouhan has become an "eyesore" ofCongress, he said.

Regarding the Vyapam scam, the ministersaid Chouhan blew the lid off it in 2013 andformed the Special Task Force (STF) to probeinto it.

Before the CBI took over the probe into thescam, the STF had arrested more than 2,000people, including a former BJP minister, hepointed out.

Once the High Court started monitoring theSTF probe through Special InvestigationTeam (SIT), the state government kept itselfaloof from the inquiry, he said.

Prior to the Congress' campaign againstChouhan, the Chief Minister was lauded inother states which copied his welfareschemes. During Chouhan's rule, the state hascome out of the BIMARU (laggard) state tagand now MP enjoys a "numero uno" positionin GDP and agricultural growth in the coun-try, he said.

Rattled by Chouhan's progressive image,Congress is playing mischief to damage hisreputation, but it won't succeed, Shukla said.

Dawood Ibrahim...had telephoned all their loyalists in

Mumbai asking them to be present at Yakub'sfuneral to show solidarity.

Police sources say Dawood's diktat was themain reason behind 10,000 strong crowdgathering at Marine Lines graveyard for theMumbai blasts convict's last rites.

Over 30,000 personnel of Mumbai police,under the supervision of senior officersincluding City Police Commissioner RakeshMaria, had been deployed both at Mahim andthe Marine Lines graveyard.

According to a report published on Fridayin a leading daily, The Economic Times,Tiger Memon, the man solely responsible forthe Mumbai carnage, talked to his familymembers in Mumbai and pledged to avengehis younger brother Yakub's execution by theGovernment of India.

Amid unprecedented security, theGovernment of India, on July 30, executedYakub Memon, a former accountant, whowas convicted of involvement in a series ofco-ordinated terrorist attacks that killed hun-dreds of people in Mumbai in 1993.

Yakub Memon died at 7 am at Nagpur jailin the western state of Maharashtra, accord-ing to a press briefing by the authorities later.

The Supreme Court of India had in theearly hours of July 30 rejected a last-minuterequest for a two-week postponement of theexecution to allow the condemned man to“make his peace with God and settle hisearthly affairs before leaving this world”.

To connect with...youths as soon as he rose to speak, Kumar,

however, ruled out any "political" motivebehind the event, saying the Foundation aimsat connecting with the migrant population ofthe state living across the country and takingthem to their roots.

The youths numbering over a dozen wereshouting slogans against Kumar and werewaving "Nitish Go Back" placards. Some ofthem raised slogans against the alleged phys-ical torture and rape of women at Parbatta inKhagaria district recently.

Suggesting a political motive behind theruckus, Kumar said the protesting youths hadcome pre-planned to interrupt the event inorder to garner publicity.

"There is some disease, which does not goaway. This will take time to go. Is this theoccasion to do politics? Time for politics hascome in Bihar. We will fight it out there.Whoever comes in the government, will he

not honour people of Bihari Diaspora, whoare doing good work?"

"In that blurred period, talented peoplewent out from Bihar and made a mark out-side... And the revival of Bihar began since2005 in the period of Nitish Kumar's govern-ment," he said in what appeared to be a veiledattack on the 15-year rule of Lalu Prasad'sRJD, which preceded Nitish Kumar's rule.

Kumar's JD-U and RJD are fighting thisAssembly Election in an alliance andCongress, which ruled Bihar before them, isalso part of the combine.

Chaudhary said everybody knows underwhose leadership the revival of Bihar beganand noted "time has come to decide the futureof Bihar, the direction in which Bihar will go.

"Future will tell in what direction, we wantto take Bihar. Will we go towards the sameblurred times or will we take forward therevival of Bihar." He urged the people ofBihar origin to play an "active role" in whatis going to happen in Bihar in the next fewmonths.

Noting that migration out of compulsion forlivelihood is a "matter of sorrow", he onceagain reiterated his demand for Special Statusto Bihar saying this will facilitate moreinvestment and industrialisation in the state,which will generate employment and stopmigration.

The event was originally planned onAugust 1 here but Kumar cancelled the pro-gramme due to the sudden demise of formerPresident APJ Abdul Kalam.

Sources in JD(U) say that Kumar has plansto contact non-resident Biharis living in allparts of the country through the BiharSamman Sammelan to be organised in majorcities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata andGuwahati.

JD(U) leaders claim that people of Biharliving outside the state are "proud of theachievements of Nitish Kumar government"and have an "emotional connect" with theChief Minister.

A larger number of people from Bihar stayin metros, who go back to the state duringimportant festivals like Chhath and Diwali.There is a significant population of migrantsstill enrolled as voters in Bihar.The idea toreach out to Bihari migrants is not new to

Nitish Kumar but this time it is backed bythe strategy and planning of Prashant Kishor,a former key campaign consultant of PrimeMinister Narendra Modi.

Modi's 'Chai Pe Charcha' programme toconnect with the masses is the brainchild ofKishor.

Kishor, who hails from Bihar, is now work-ing on sharpening Kumar's election campaignand is learnt to have given broad details onhow to connect with the huge population inmega cities of non-resident Biharis, who areconsidered key opinion makers.

Kumar had presided over a Bihar SammanConference in Burari in Delhi in 2012.Referring to it, Vice President of BiharFoundation Sanjay Kumar Jha said that theregion is now represented by leaders fromeastern India in both Assembly andParliament.

Recalling the contribution of voters fromeastern India (mainly Uttar Pradesh andBihar) in the victory of Aam Aadmi Party, Jhasaid that he was expecting Delhi ChiefMinister Arvind Kejriwal to come for theevent today.

Kumar's rally was then considered as abuild up to his party's outreach plans for LokSabha elections 2014. However, Kumar'sJD(U) and Lalu Prasad's RJD faced crushingdefeat in the last year's General Elections,with the NDA under Modi winning 31 out of40 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

Bihar Foundation, a government body, hav-ing branches in various cities of India andabroad, has on its own been organising anumber of programmes to connect people ofBihari origin living outside with their roots.

According to a report of the NationalCapital Region Planning Board based on the2001 Census, the maximum migration toDelhi is from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, whichtogether constitute 64.25 percent of themigrant population.

The share of migrant population from Biharhas increased from 5.77 percent in 1971-1981to 19.09 percent in 1991-2001. While it was5.77 percent between 1971 and 1981, it roseto 10.69 percent between 1981 and 1991 andto 19.09 percent between 1991 and 2001.

Preparations have ...and Uttar Pradesh," said Hazare."Besides these, I will also go to Bihar and

Chattisgarh and many other states to makepeople aware and ask them to arrive in Delhion October 2," he added.

Hazare had earlier said he would do any-thing to ensure that the One Rank OnePension (OROP) scheme is implemented andadded that mere assurance on the govern-ment's part is not enough.

India's unity...not inviting Jammu and Kashmir Speaker.

It`s been responded adequately and in theright manner. India`s unity and sovereigntycannot be challenged by Pakistan and that`sthe response by boycotting theCommonwealth meet in Pakistan," Singh toldANI.

India is going to boycott a CommonwealthParliamentary Union meeting in Islamabadnext month in protest against Pakistan not

inviting the Speaker of the Jammu andKashmir Assembly.

As per reports, Lok Sabha Speaker SumitraMahajan has said that a meeting of Speakersof all states has unanimously decided to boy-cott the meeting.

The Inter Parliamentary Union meeting isto be held from September 30 to October 8 inIslamabad while invitations have been sent toall the other Speakers in India.

Who called...On microblogging website Twitter,

Vijayvargiya described Rahul Gandhi asmanhoos while referring to the Congress vicepresident's allegation against External AffairsMinister Sushma Swaraj in Lalit Modi con-troversy.

Rather than watering down his statement,the BJP general secretary took to Twitter onSaturday, this time to explain why he said so.

This is not the first time Vijayvargiya hasmade a controversial remark.

The Madhya Pradesh minister was in newsrecently for his insensitive remarks overdeceased journalist Akshay Singh.

Tirumala temple...apart from the 4.5 tonnes of gold in the

bank, another tonne is likely to be depositedin the temple soon.

However, the temple insiders were quotedin the report as saying that the net worthcould be much more.

The quantity of gold deposited in the bankis a result of donation made by devotees invarious forms, including ornaments and bis-cuits, which has accumulated over the years.

The temple started depositing gold dona-tions in banks in 2010 and have since madetwo more deposits in 2011 and 2014, thereport quoted temple authorities.

India sets...Emergency Travel Certificate issued from

the Delhi-based Pakistani high commission.They were handed over to Pakistani

Rangers at Joint Check Post at Attari/Wagahborder by BSF, officials here said.

Elated on the prospect of going back totheir country, the fishermen said that theirboats had drifted to Indian territorial waterduring fishing in the Arabian sea due toimmense water flow and winds after whichthey were held for illegal fishing on Indianside.

Petty fine...was nothing but "a gimmick"."Imposition of just Rs 100 fine for not exer-

cising the franchise proves that BJP is notserious about electoral reforms but onlybelieves in gimmicks and headline-grab-bing," Congress spokesperson Manish Doshisaid here.

The government last week announced rulesunder the act which makes voting compulso-ry in local body polls. Apart from the fine,there won't be any penal action.

"If the government was serious about elec-toral reforms, it should have framed the rulesat the time of introducing the bill in which ithad announced that there will be penal actionagainst those who fail to vote," Doshi said.

"We are against the concept of compulsoryvoting because it is against the basic tenets ofdemocracy," he clarified.

Elections to 253 municipalities, 208 talukapanchayats, 26 district panchayats and sixmunicipal corporations in the state areexpected to be held in this October.

IndiGo plane...Shivaji International Airport here. It was on

its way to Delhi from where it would haveproceeded to Patna, sources said.

"The flight was scheduled to depart at 9.30am but left only at 9.45 am. But after beingairborne for nearly 20 minutes, the first offi-cer announced that the flight was returning toMumbai due to some technical issue," thesources said.

IndiGo spokesperson was not available forcomments.

Leakage in the fuel system of the aircraftforced the pilot to take back the flight to thecity, the sources claimed.

The Gurgaon-based budget airline's on-time performance from the four key airports-Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore-has taken a beating in the recent times com-pared to some of its rivals.

The airline's on-time performance fromthese airports stood at 82.6 percent in Junewith the lowest recorded from Mumbai whereonly 69.2 percent of its total flights took offon time.

JKNPP protests....Commission in New Delhi.The slogan shouting members of JKNPP

condemned militant attacks in Jammu andKashmir and Punjab.

"We are protesting unprovoked firing byPakistan troops at the border, sending of infil-trators and attacks by militants at variousplaces. We strongly condemn it," said JKNPPleader Harsh Dev Singh.

However, the police prevented protestersfrom going to the Pakistan High Commissionby detaining them and taking them away.

QUIZ TIME

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

TODAY’S STARARIES You may be looking for some new values in your personal life,

Aries. You're no longer interested in superficial or frivolous rela-tionships. You need to meet different kinds of people and selectfriends who are really worth keeping. Don't worry if you feel liketaking a step back to get some perspective, because this is thetime to do it. Relationships are too important to neglect.

TAURUS You may want to take a little trip into your past to visit some oldfriends, Taurus. You could find yourself daydreaming throughyour good and bad memories. This is an excellent period tobreak with some of the more negative ties to your past. If yourpartner is a little worried about you going back in time at themoment, reassure him or her.

GEMINI If you're concerned about the love that certain close people havefor you, you shouldn't try to compensate by being clingy or over-ly affectionate. This period is about keeping your distance andputting your relationships into perspective to see what they'rereally worth to you, Gemini. Someone may ask you for an evenstronger commitment over the next few months.

CANCER This isn't the time to make any more of a commitment to yourrelationship, Cancer. You aren't satisfied with your attitudetoward things lately. Don't forget that your partner's character-istics may have something to do with it! You have two monthsto take care of things. Take advantage of this reevaluationperiod. It doesn't happen that often.

LEO Today you might want to think about getting things straightwith the people close to you. It's possible you haven't dealtwith any problems you had in your relationships last month,Leo. It's time to look at things again. You may have hiddencertain things from yourself. You need to be much more hon-est about what you want in your personal life.

VIRGO You may be asking certain questions about your feelings,Virgo. Do you know about the trap that many people getcaught up in - feeling so close to their partners that they oftenforget themselves? Sometimes it's easy to confuse your feel-ings with this kind of self-denial. Today you need to think abouthow this affects your life.

LIBRA Nothing can hold back your flame for long, Libra. You have ahard time resting your body and recharging your batteries. Atthe moment, you're probably still going through a deep trans-formation that won't allow you to slow down. Take the time tomeditate and get in touch with your feelings. What is it youreally want out of life?

SCORPIO You can be known for needing a lot of love, but you will neveradmit that to yourself, much less anyone else. Sometimes itseems as if you like feeling emotionally frustrated. Today is theperfect day to meditate about whether or not this is true of you.Do you talk to other people about your emotional needs?

SAGITTARIUSYou probably aren't worried about being conventional inyour relationships, Sagittarius. In fact, conventionality isoften what causes you problems. If you're wondering whatmorality is and what it's based on, this is a good day tothink about these questions.

CAPRICORN You may not be very precise. Your motto seems to be "every-thing is relative." However, paying attention to details doesn'tnecessarily mean that you lose sight of the fundamentals.Your friends could tell you that. If you're an artist, you mightmake an effort today to be clearer in your expression and a lit-tle more down to Earth.

AQUARIUS This isn't a good time to make any big relationship decisions.If you're thinking about starting a relationship, moving intogether, or getting married, you may feel a bit troubled byyour decision, Aquarius. Take advantage of the day to reeval-uate things objectively. There may be some issues to resolvebefore you go any further.

PISCES Today you may feel like something is holding you back,Pisces. Everything was going just fine until now. If you believethe stream of chatter in your head today, you will be regress-ing in every area of your life! For example, you may be afraidto go any further in your relationship because of your past fail-ures. Use this time to lay the past to rest.

4th Test: England beat Australia by aninnings and 78 runs to regain the urn NOTTINGHAM

Australia captain Michael Clarkesaid Saturday he "hadn`t led from thefront" as he announced he wouldretire from international cricket afterthis month`s fifth Ashes Test againstEngland at The Oval.

The 34-year-old made hisannouncement after England com-pleted a crushing innings and 78 runvictory over Australia in the fourthTest at Trent Bridge to take anunbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-matchAshes series.

"I will have one more Test and thatis the end of my career," said Clarkeduring the post-match presentationceremony.

"I am retiring from internationalcricket. I don`t want to jump shipnow so I will have one more go atThe Oval," he added after reports inAustralian media earlier Saturdaythat he was about to end his Australiacareer.

The fifth Test starts at The Oval, insouth London, on August 20.

Clarke, one of the best batsmen ofhis generation but plagued by a long-standing back problem and morerecent hamstring trouble, is in a des-perate run of form, having reached 25just six times in his last 30 Testinnings.

"There`s no doubt I`ll always holdmyself accountable, my performanc-es haven`t been anywhere they needto be," said Clarke. "I don`t blameanyone in the changing room, but Ihaven`t led from the front.

"I started this great game at sixyears of age and I think it`s the righttime to walk away now.

"When I first came into the team Ihad 11 older brothers helping me getinto a position where I can help the

team and hopefully I`ve donethat."He added: "About 7:30pm last(Friday) night I spoke to my beautifulwife (Kyly) and my best mate inWarnie (Shane Warne).

"They both 100 percent supportedmy decision." Clarke has made 28Test centuries, one short of Australiabatting great Donald Bradman`s tally,in his 114-match career.

England captain Alastair Cookhailed his opposite number by say-ing: "To Michael from the Englandteam you were a fantastic player, fan-tastic leader. You should be remem-bered as a great captain."

But Saturday`s defeat saw Clarkebecome the first Australian in morethan a century to lose four successiveAshes series in England. Clarkeaverages just 16.71 in eight inningsthis Ashes, with a top score of 38 and,as a consequence, his career Testaverage has dropped below 50. Heretired from one-day internationalcricket after leading Australia toWorld Cup glory on home soil earlierthis year, with Clarke saying he hadmade the decision in order to prolong

his Test career. One of the few major targets left

for Clarke would have been to win aTest series in England, having previ-ously been on the losing side duringAustralia`s tours in 2005, 2009 and2013. But this is one achievementthat will now elude him.Clarke`s Testcareer began in style when he made ahundred on his debut against India inBangalore in 2004.

The New South Wales shot-makeralso scored a hundred in his first Teston Australian soil, against NewZealand in 2004, making him theonly Australian to score a century onboth home and away debuts. "WhenMichael made his stunning Testdebut in Bangalore back in 2004,Australian cricket knew it had founda very special talent," said CricketAustralia chairman Wally Edwards ina statement. Edwards also praisedClarke`s leading following the pass-ing of his fellow Australia batsmanPhillip Hughes, who died after beinghit on the head by a bouncer in adomestic match at the SydneyCricket Ground in November.

Commonwealth Gameschampion ParupalliKashyap says he is in theform of his life and is eagerto make a mark at theWorld BadmintonChampionships in Jakartafrom August 10 to 16.

"I am at the peak of mycareer. I mean look at LinDan or Lee Chong Wei:they reached their bestshape at 28. I am 28, I amin the best form of my life,I see no reason of notdoing well. I am feelinggood about my body; I amperfectly fine. I will befighting hard to winmatches," Kashyap toldIANS in an interview.

The World No.10 will bestarting his campaign atthe Worlds against WorldNo.81 Erik Meijs. TheHyderabadi has a 1-0 leadin career meetings over theDutchman but followingthe first round, the goingwill get tougher.

"It depends on how Iplay. I am playing well atthe moment. The draw isquite tough. I might end upfacing Kento Momota inthe pre-quarterfinals. Hehas won a couple of tour-naments this year; so hewill be confident. Beforethat I will be facing Erikand the winner of thematch between Tien MinhNguyen and Lee DongKeun. Both are very tough

competitors. Let us seewhat happens," saidKashyap.

"I will be taking it roundafter round and not be sillyto just dream that I willachieve this or that. Theplay will depend on myform and the conditionsthere. Of course, every onewants a WorldChampionship medal atthe end of the day. I willtry everything in my capa-bility to win it."

The former World No.6had a brilliant start to theyear when he won theIndia Grand Prix Gold inJanuary. But the three-timeCommonwealth Gamesmedallist has not been ableto maintain the same levelsince then.

"It has been tough as Ihave been playing withinjuries. Twice, post thetitle win, I injured myselfand both times I was outfor around two to threeweeks. Then obviouslyyou take time to get back

in shape. I first had anabdominal tear and later inthe year I pulled my ham-string," said the 28-year-old.

"That win in Lucknowwas very good because itgave me a lot of confi-dence. But unfortunatelythe injuries just tookeverything away and I hadto start from scratch. Ialmost did not play for amonth then and I becamerusty. In the followingtournaments I played wellbut had some very closematches."

The right-handedKashyap will be trying hisbest to become only thesecond Indian male toclinch a Worlds medalafter the legendary PrakashPadukone.

Indian shuttlers havewon four bronze medals atthe annual WorldChampionships till date.Padukone became the firstto clinch the metal in 1983in the men's singles.

COLOMBOIndian cricket team's bat-

ting coach Sanjay Bangardefended Rohit Sharma'scheap dismissals in the twoinnings of the warm-upgame, stating that the tal-ented Mumbaikar's flair atNo. 3 is necessary as theyaim to score 300 plus runson each batting day.

While skipper ViratKohli made it clear thatRohit will bat No 3 in theseries, scores of 7 and 8(while opening in 2ndinnings) have raised a feweyebrows as to whether theexperiment would work ornot.

"I think what he definite-ly brings at No 3 is the flairfactor. With the kind ofcricket that this team islooking to play, whereinwe are wanting to at leastgo past 300 on each battingday, that's where some-body of his (Rohit) calibrecan chip in and contributein that manner," Bangarsaid at the post match pressconference, here today.

Bangar said that Rohit isbatting well in the nets andit is just a matter of timebefore he gets going outthere in the middle.

"Rohit is an experiencedcampaigner. He has beenon the international scenefor a long period and he ishitting a lot of balls in thenets. So whatever absenceof time that he has not been

able to spend out in themiddle (a month-longbreak), we are spendingtime in the nets and he ishitting a lot of balls. He isbatting really well. It's justa matter of time that hegets a decent start andlooks to convert that into abig one," said Bangar.

Overall, Bangar washappy with how the tourgame panned as both bats-men and bowlers gotdecent outings.

"I think all the batsmengot two decent innings andthis is what you basicallywant after a long lay-off,"said Bangar.

For Bangar, in today'sage, even a month long

break is a big enough gap."I don't term 30 days as a

long lay-off but in modern-day times, that's a bigenough gap for the playersto be away from the game.So it's good to be backplaying three-day formatand it is an ideal prepara-tion going into the firstTest match."

About skipper Kohli andglovesman WriddhimanSaha's indifferent form,Bangar sought to playdown the issue stating,"Inlife, we believe that welearn every day and obvi-ously these innings musthave taught each of theindividual batsmen somelessons.

"They would haveassessed the kind of wick-ets we are going toencounter, the pace of thewickets and the shots youare going to go and applyin the Test matches. I thinkthose are definitive learn-ings for the batsmenderived from these twoinnings," added Bangar.

Bangar is confident thatthe lower-order will comegood in the series.

"I think there is a lot ofvalue in the lower-order. Ifyou look at our lower-order, Ravi Ashwin andHarbhajan Singh have bothgot two Test hundreds. Weall know whatBhuvneshwar Kumar is

capable of because of thekind of innings and contri-butions that he made inEngland, which is consid-ered to be the most testingof conditions.

"There is a lot of value tobe unearthed and definitelyit was a clear indicationthat we are looking forcontributions from thelower order as well and wedo have a lot of faith inthem and we are hopingthey will deliver in crunchsituations for the team," headded, about the fivebowler strategy.

Bangar also seemedhopeful that India's firstchoice opener Murali Vijaywill overcome his ham-string injury and be fit forthe first Test starting nextWednesday.

"Purely from a battingperspective, the way Vijayis hitting the balls, I thinkhe really looks in verygood shape.

He has been playing con-tinuous cricket ever sinceBangladesh.

He went to Zimbabweand he got to play in theone-day games.

"Having a fit Vijay isgoing to be a big asset tothe team because he doesgive a lot of solidity to theteam and plays the anchorrole required in this format.We are all hoping that heturns up 100 percent fit,"Bangar signed off.

Rohit Sharma needed at No 3 if we haveto score 300 in a day: Sanjay Bangar

COLOMBOIndian cricketers got much-needed

match practice as they enjoyed anupperhand on all three days againstSri Lanka Board President's XI in thetour opener that ended in a tame drawhere on Saturday.

While the batsmen did not exactlyset the stage on fire in the secondinnings getting all out for 180 but thebowlers kept the pressure, restrictinghosts to 200 for six in 54 overs asthey chased an unachievable victory

target of 411 runs.Premier off-spinner Ravichandran

Ashwin (3/38 in 8 overs) warmed upnicely for the Test series whileHarbhajan Singh (1/26 in 8 overs)and Amit Mishra (1/42 in 12 overs)also got crucial overs under their belt.

Earlier, India started off from theirovernight score of 112/3 but both theunbeaten batsmen KL Rahul (47 no)and Cheteshwar Pujara (31 no)retired to give the lower order achance to get some decent hit.

Ashwin (0) was bowled off the firstball he faced from Lahiru Gamage(1-20). Harbhajan (4) too lasted onlythree more overs edging one to slipsoff Nisala Tharaka (1-14).

Mishra (7) faced 29 balls in a bid toget in some practice after missing outin the first innings. At the other end,Bhuvneshwar Kumar made good onthis opportunity given to him even as

Mishra and Varun Aaron (2) weredismissed in quick succession.Kumar stroked five fours and scored37 runs off 56 balls, helping Indiacross the 150-mark.

Kumar added 37 runs for the finalwicket with Umesh Yadav (17*)before he was last man dismissed,

falling to Milinda Siriwardana (1-5).Board President's XI thus required

411 runs for an outright victory, butthat was never the purpose of theirsecond innings. Instead, it was aboutbatting time for their Test team mem-bers and for the Indians, it was aboutsending down a few overs. Yadav (1-

19) and Aaron (0-29) were handedthe new ball and they didn't disap-point. Yadav bowled with consisten-cy in line and length, and used thenew ball to good effect. He wasrewarded with the wicket of openerDhananjay de Silva (6) as KL Rahultook a super catch at third slip divingto his right as the hosts went to lunchat 14/1. After the break, HarabhajanSingh (1-26) dismissed LahiruThirimanne (18) as Ajinkya Rahanetook a sharp catch at first slip.\

Upul Tharanga (52 runs, 54 balls, 8fours, 1 six) then came to the creaseand stroked his way to a fine half-century in 50 balls, putting on 73 runswith opener Kaushal Silva (83*, 163balls, 6 fours), who also overcame hisfirst innings? disappointment andwarmed up for the Test series with afine batting performance. The right-handed batsman reached his fifty off

101 balls and helped his side to tea at120/2. Post the break, he held forteven as wickets started falling at theother end. Ashwin (3-38) took threequick wickets to send back Tharangawho charged down the track and wascaught at midwicket by CheteshwarPujara.

He then bowled Siriwardana (4)and Kusal Perera (1) in quick succes-sion as both batsmen were looking tocut the ball. Mishra (1-48) also madehis presence felt with a wicket, dis-missing Shehan Jayasuriya, who wascaught at mid-off by Rohit Sharma,as he tried to clear the fence.

Ishant (0-33) and Bhuvneshwar (0-6) returned for a short spell there-after, but the match was called offwith the final 15 overs remaining inthe day.

The monsoon brings respite from thesweltering heat but also triggers alot of health-related issues, most of

which are plain myths that have persistedover time, says an expert.

Richa Mattu, nutrition and health man-ager, South Asia, Hindustan UnileverLimited, shares tips to help wade throughthe rains:

Myth 1One should not eat seafood/fish during

monsoon.

FactThe primary reason behind this myth is

that in monsoon, due to the rough seas andbad weather fishermen avoid going out tosea. Also, it is breeding season for thesebeings. So availability of fresh fish isscarce and a majority of the stock comesfrom frozen fish.

Siddiqui could’ve playedthe titular role in Manjhi –The Mountain Man sincehis 15-year-long strugglein the industry was nothingless than breaking a moun-tain.

“Even Nawaz has brokena mountain in his life. Aman who has come from asmall village and estab-lished his position inBollywood is like breakinga mountain for 15 years toreach this level,” Mehtasaid at the Indian InstituteOf Technology-Bombaywhich he visited with theactor as part of the film’spromotion.

“Nawaz is the best actorof his generation whicheveryone believes nowa-days. Secondly, his physi-cal type also perfectlymatches with DashrathManjhi on whom this filmis based on. Manjhi too

was a short man with alean physique. The intensi-ty in him was amazing,especially in his eyes andthat same intensity can beseen in Nawaz’s eyes. Andthis intensity has pulledhim to this level today,”said Mehta about the simi-larities between the two.

Nawazuddin had startedout in bit roles or one-scene roles in films likeSarfarosh, MunnabhaiMBBS among othersbefore making his impres-sion in films such asKahaani and Gangs OfWasseypur II. He is nowriding high with his per-formance in the block-buster Salman Khan-star-rer Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
