TRANSCRIPT
NEW DELHI: Congress
president Sonia Gandhi on
Saturday asked the states
ruled by the party to imple-
ment in 'letter and spirit' the
food security scheme
which it sees as a 'game
changer' in the 2014 Lok
Sabha elections. She held
deliberations
with Congress chief
ministers on how to imple-
ment the food scheme
seeking to provide cheap
foodgrains to 82 crore
people, for which an ordi-
nance was promulgated
last week.
Party sources said the
CMs were told at the meet-
ing to rollout the scheme
in 'letter and spirit'.
The meeting was held
at a time when the party is
preparing for the 2014 Lok
Sabha polls and is keen to
reach out to the people
with its populist measure.
Delhi, where assembly
polls are due by year-end,
will be the first state to roll
out the scheme on August
20, the birth anniversary
of former Prime Minister
Rajiv Gandhi. Besides
Congress CMs, Prime
Minister Manmohan
Singh, party vice president
Rahul Gandhi, food minis-
ter K V Thomas, AICC
general secretaries and
Core Group members were
present during the deliber-
ations. The aim of the
meeting was to ensure that
the scheme is implement-
ed in the best possible
manner with Congress-
ruled states becoming role
models in implementation
of the food security meas-
ure.
Direct Benefit Transfer
(DBT) scheme and the
Food Security Act are
being considered as major
moves by Congress ahead
of the 2014 general
elections as was the
farmers' loan waiver
scheme and MNREGA
announced in UPA-I. The
loan waiver and MNRE-
GA shemes were credited
among other things for
return of UPA to power in
2009. Several states,
including Congress-ruled
Karnataka and
Uttarakhand, BJP-gov-
erned Chhattigarh, SP-
ruled Uttar Pradesh and
JD(U)-run Bihar, could
see early roll out of the
programme. Partymen
wanted early roll out the
scheme so that the
scheme is well in place
by the time Lok Sabha
elections take place.

Wait for a few more Tests before trashing DRS: JamulaCnP � �
Kolkata: More than three
and half decades since it
was started, the Integrated
Child Development
Scheme (ICDS) remains
work-in-progress. Around
80 percent of the centres
lack a proper kitchen in
Manipur, found a survey.
The survey conducted by
Manipur Alliance for Child
Rights (MACR) - a state
alliance of NGOs support-
ed by Child Rights and You
(CRY) - covered 2,353 chil-
dren from 80 villages
across seven districts in
Manipur.
Of the existing 193 ICDS
centres in the sample area,
a rapid assessment was
conducted on 80 centres to
map the functioning status
and performance of
Anganwadi centres.
The survey showed that
around 80 percent of the
ICDS centres surveyed
were not equipped with a
proper and designated
kitchen for cooking food,
while only one-fourth of the
ICDS centres were running
in government constructed
buildings. It is also report-
ed that 56.25 percent cen-
tres provide supplemen-
tary nutritional food on a
regular basis, 27.5 percent
three times a week, and
8.75 percent only once in
three months.
According to the respon-
dents, 68.75 percent cen-
tres provide quality food,
while 28.75 percent do not
serve good quality food as
per norms, and 2.5 percent
dole out "very poor quality"
food.
Findings from the survey
also show that 10 percent
of the centres do not pro-
vide a hot, cooked meal,
and 21.25 percent distrib-
ute food grains at the door
steps.
Only 28.75 percent of
ICDS centres provide addi-
tional food to the adoles-
cent child (between 11-18
years) as per norms, while
only 8.75 percent centres
provide additional nutrition-
al support on a regular
basis.
Another interesting set of
data shows that only 10
percent of the ICDS cen-
tres have children in atten-
dance for four hours a day,
even though these are
supposed to serve as day
care centres.
Of the sample, 52.75 per-
cent ICDS centres are
reported to keep children
for one to two hours, while
8.75 percent keep children
for only half an hour a day.
According to data collect-
ed, at least 10 percent of
the ICDS Centres do not
have any playing material
for children.
While the report shows
perceptible gaps in ICDS
implementation, it also
throws light on the insuffi-
cient budget allocation and
lack of coordination in fund
utilisation.
On-ground data shows that
a whopping 94 percent of
the surveyed ICDS centres
take direct responsibility of
bearing transportation
costs of food materials,
and at more than 90 per-
cent of the surveyed cen-
tres, workers do not get
their honorarium in time.
Manipur survey shows short-comings in scheme for children
Agartala: An IndianInstitute of InformationTechnology (IIIT) will beset up for Rs 128 crorein the northeastern stateof Tripura next year toboost the growth of thedomestic IT market, anofficial said here onFriday. The IIIT will beset up in Bodhjungnagar,one of the northeasternregion's biggest industri-al hubs, 25 km north ofstate capital Agartala. Itwill be the first such insti-tute in the northeast andwill start functioning fromthe 2014-15 academicyear. "Two state-ownedcompanies, ONGC (Oiland Natural GasCorporation) and NEEP-CO (NortheasternElectric PowerCorporation), and a pri-vate industrial housefrom West Bengal haveexpressed willingness topartner for the TripuraIIIT," Higher EducationDepartment SecretaryKishore Ambuly toldreporters here. "Of the Rs 128 crore, theunion Ministry of HumanResource Development(MHRD) would give Rs
119 crore and theremaining amount wouldbe shared by ONGC,NEEPCO and the pri-vate organisation," headded. He said that the stategovernment had allotted50 acres of land for theinstitute. Besides Tripura, theMHRD had last yeargiven its approval to the
setting up of IIITs inAssam and Rajasthan.
"The human resource
development ministry
has planned to establish
20 IIITs on a not-for-prof-
it public-private partner-
ship (N-PPP) basis in
the country," the official
said. So far, 11 state
governments have iden-
tified land and are in the
process of identifying
industry partners and ful-
filling other criteria.
Currently, there are four
IIITs in India at
A l l a habad ,Gwa l i o r,
J a b a l p u r , a n d
Kanchipuram. These
autonomous institutions
provide undergraduate
as well as postgraduate
technical education. The major objective inestablishing IIITs is to setup a model of educationwhich can produce best-in-class humanresources in IT and har-ness the multi-dimen-sional facets of IT in var-
ious domains. These institutions areconceived to be self-sus-taining, research-ledinstitutions contributingsignificantly to the globalcompetitiveness of keysectors of the Indianeconomy and industrywith the application of ITin selected domainareas.

Ahmedabad: Womenfarmers from Junagadhon Sunday sent a letterwritten in blood toGujarat Chief MinisterNarendra Modi urginghim to talk to them onthe issue of Jetpur-Somnath national high-way, an activist associat-ed with the protest said."If you can talk to your
brothers in Bihar, whycan't you talk to your sis-ters in Junagadh," thewomen farmers wrote intheir letter to Modi.With aproject to expand thesaid highway on theanvil, the NationalHighways Authority ofIndia had asked thestate government toacquire land for thesame.To that end, dis-trict officials had under-taken a mapping andmeasurement exercisewhich had begun June25. Protesting farmershad been detained dur-ing the surveyprocess.Atul Patel ofKhedut HitrakshakSamiti says they havebeen seeking anappointment with the CMfor over three years todiscuss the project, buttheir request has neverbeen entertained.Now,
101 women farmershave written to Modi asthe previous communi-cation sent to him via let-ters, postcards, SMSand e-mails has drawn
no response, Patel said.Farmers from 10 villagesin Vanthali andJunagadh talukas in thedistrict have beenprotesting against landacquisition on thegrounds that the land

No crisis in UDF warranting leadership change: ManiCnP � �
Shimla: Everyone inHimachal Pradesh is cov-ered by the public distribu-tion system, even the ChiefMinister. Unlike theNational Food SecurityOrdinance which entitles67 percent of the popula-tion to get subsidizedgrains from the govern-ment every month,Himachal Pradesh coversits entire population hasbeen under the TargetedPublic Distribution System(TPDS), say officials.Thereare 16.31 lakh ration cardholders in the state for apopulation of 68,64,602,said an official of the Foodand Civil SuppliesDepartment. The rationcard holders include 11.63lakh above poverty linewho get three types of dals(lentils), two edible oils andsalt at subsidized rates
through 4,634 fair priceshops Interestingly, eventhe Chief Minister and hiscabinet colleagues enjoythe facility. Chief Minister
Virbhadra Singh has aration card with seven fam-ily members enrolled on it,according to information
accessed through Right toInformation.Likewise, Foodand Civil Supplies MinisterGS Bali, Health MinisterKaul Singh, Industries
Minister Mukesh Agnihotri,Town and CountryPlanning Minister SudhirSharma and Excise and
Taxation Minister ParkashChaudhary also haveration cards.
"Our aim is to provide food
items to all individuals at
subsidized rates. Even I
am regularly availing my
(ration) quota," Bali told.
He said in the 2013-14
budget the state govern-
ment had allocated Rs175
crore for the state food
subsidy scheme.Speaking
at a meeting called by
Congress president Sonia
Gandhi on Delhi on
Saturday, the Chief
Minister said, "The
Ordinance may exclude
about 18.85 lakh people
from TPDS and also
reduce monthly allocation
by 17,094 metric tonnes of
food grains to the
state."But we will continue
to provide food grains to all
families irrespective of
facts whether they are cov-
ered under the ambit of the
Ordinance or not.The Chief

Consequently, the CMbeing an able finance min-ister, who has already pre-sented 8 successful budgetsin his political career hadalready started providing akg of rice for 1 rupee aspromissed earlier and madehis path. In this context, the
budget has made itsemphasis on the educationand agricultural sectors. The education departmenthas emerged as the highestbenefitted department inthis year with the contribu-tion of about 812700 rs.Anna Bhagya yojana'simplementation has beenplanned with a separatefund of 20 lakhs for provid-ing food to the school chil-dren for bringing them intoeducation.

The CM's next concentra-tion is none other than onthe country's backbone thepeasant, s he is also frombackward and rural area.The agricultural loan whichwas with 1 percent interestfrom 1 to 3 lakh rupees hasbeen now enhanced up to10 lakhs. A committee hasbeen proposed for makinga research on the installa-tion of 5 hp solar pumps toprovide consistent electric-ity to the farmers. Rs 5crores has been aloted tothe agricultural universityand proposed of establish-
ing a committee for theimplementation of the agri-cultural market report. Thecost on sugar will bedecreased but the VAT taxhas been kept constant. Rs150 crores has been keptfor the construction of stor-age for chemical fertilizersand seeds. The upliftment ofoppressed poor has playedprominent role in the budg-et. The construction ofhouses for the poor andproviding compulsory edu-cation to thea poor childrenwas proposed. The devel-
opment of home depart-ment was also mentioned.5 lakh rs has been plannedto fund the ANF squad at
Karkala to strengthen theforce. 8500 constables areplanned to e inducted intothe police department atBangalore itself. Indianreserve bettalein will beestablished at Davangereand Tumkor districts.
The budget has alsowaved the progress path inthe transport departmentwith the inclusion of 5 newRTO offices at RT Nagar,Marathalli, Dandeli andMadugiri and rs 30 croreshas been allocated for pro-viding training to the heavyvehicle drivers. Truck ter-
minal and logistic park willbe inculcated in Anchikeri,hubli.New plans arebrought out for upliftingthe women and weaker sec-tions.

Localtrains will be installed inthe capital city and skywalkers will be also induct-ed for the betterment ofpedestrians. However. The budget has
brought disappointmentamong the rich traders andbusiness personals, whowere expecting the state taxand duties's variation in thescenario of resession. Thex-CM Jagdish Shetter hasdefined this budget as acontinuation of his pro-posed budget of March2013 during BJP rule. Hehas also opposed the budg-et, as it has completely neg-lected the earlier declara-tion of Taluks and has notfunded the BhagyaLakshmi plan. Another x-CM B. S. Yadiyurappa feltthat the new corporationsare announced, but no defi-nition is made regardingthe existing members. Thebudget completely provesthe come back of CMSiddu being a leader frombackward class and ruralarea and also depicts theway of attracting the com-mons with a future thinkingof the up coming centralelections as well. However.The government must atleast fulfill the given pro-posals with a right alloca-tion and implementation ofproposed fund to reach thepath of success andprogress. Because, theassurances get prominenceonly when it is fulfilled.
CASH BOX OPENED FOR KARNATAKA
Chennai: If you thought
that the scene near the US
Consulate in Chennai
resembled that of a Vishnu
temple in the month of
Purattasi, you could
scarcely be faulted for the
misconception. With the
interviews for visas to the
USA restarting after a
week of protests, appli-
cants decided to leave little
to chance as the crowd
starting to build, from as
early as 5.30 am. The
strong contingent of police
personnel posted for secu-
rity were, in fact, taken by
surprise at such an early
start, as the scheduled
rounds of interviews were
set to begin only at 8.30
am.
While Chennaites using
the Anna Flyover are
accustomed to watching
crisply-attired men and
women waiting in long
queues outside the
Consulate in the morning,
police officers said the
route for applicants into
the Consulate was slightly
tweaked for security rea-
sons. Additional levels of
checking were put up at
the Avvai Shanmugam
Salai end, where police
officers scrupulously
checked ID cards before
letting people pass.
In fact, in one case, the
security regulations were
so tight that a man, who
took his car keys inside,
was stopped from entering
the consulate and was
asked to repeat the check
from the begining. There
were no separate counters
for the elderly, who were
seen questioning the police
on the rationale behind
such a set up. However, the
minute planning paid off
as the officers were able to
make sure that the queue
didn’t stagnate at any
point and the crowd kept
moving every minute.

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata
Party Yashwant Sinha, who
had reportedly warned his
party over Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi's
remarks, has now clarified his
comments. Speaking to
IBN18 Editor-in-Chief
Rajdeep Sardesai, Yashwant
said that the Congress's attack
on Modi will benefit the BJP,
but will divert attention from
the issue of corruption and
misgovernance."
He added that the Congress is
trying to divert attention and
the BJP should not fall into its
trap. "The Congress is deter-
mined to bring the secular-
communal debate to the cen-
trestage, BJP should not fall
into that trap," Yashwant said.
He said that while all this will
benefit the BJP, the economic
issues are being sidelined in
the battle. "BJP will gain
from any polarisation that
happens because of Modi.
The more the Congress
attacks Modi, the more popu-
lar Modi becomes. Issues of
misgovernance and corrup-
tion should be brought to the
fore in the coming elections.
Yashwant had earlier said that
the more Modi speaks the
attention gets diverted from
Congress's misgovernance.
"The Modi baiters have a
clear game plan. The more he
speaks. The more controversy
he will create. The attention
will shift from misgover-
nance and corruption to what
happened more than 11 years
ago in Gujarat. It will be a
grave mistake to allow
Congress change the agenda
and force debate on its own
terms," Yashwant had
said.The Congress on
Monday launched an all out
counter-attack on Gujarat
Chief Minister Narendra
Modi for being critical of the
UPA government during his
speech in Pune on Sunday.
Responding to Modi's 'burqa'
remark, Congress leader Ajay
Maken said, "The burqa of
secularism is better than the
nakedness of communalism.
Secularism unites the nation,
communalism breaks the
country."
Congress General Secretary
Digvijaya Singh has hit out at
Modi saying, "I want to know
what is the definition of secu-
larism according to Modiji.
One religion, one culture, one
nation is the definition of sec-
ularism according to the RSS
and Advaniji. Modiji should
clarify what is his definition
of secularism."Minister of
State for Human Resources
Shashi Tharoor also tweeted,
"Modi says we 'hide behind
the burqa of secularism".
Preferable, surely, to the
khaki shorts of intolerance &
hatred that he now tries to
hide?"Modi had on Sunday
said the government hides
behind the veil of secularism
whenever India faces any
problem. "Congress always
wears the burqa of secularism
whenever they face problem.
In the name of secularism,
Congress government can't
play with poor, teenagers and
daughters of the country,"
Modi had said.
The Congress also once again
attacked Modi for his 'puppy'
remark. "IF KUTTE KA
BACCHA - PUPPY comes
under your car u hv 2 options
cuddle & treat it or again
crush it What would u call a
man who does the latter
(sic)," Information and
Broadcasting Minister
Manish Tewari tweeted.Modi
had sparked a controversy
after, in an interview to
Reuters, he claimed that he
was innocent in the Gujarat
riots and said "I would feel
guilty only if I did something
wrong". "While driving if a
puppy comes under the
wheel, will it be painful or
not? Of course it is...I'm a
human being. If something
bad happens anywhere, it is
natural to be sad.
Narendra Modi will gain popularity if Cong targets him: Yashwant Sinha
NEW DELHI: Declaration
of Rahul Gandhi as Prime
Ministerial candidate can-
not be ruled out, Congress
hinted today in the back-
drop of conflicting state-
ments from party leaders
including Digvijay
Singh."It has not yet been
decided. When it will be
decided, you will know,"
party General Secretary
Ajay Maken told
reporters.He was asked
about the official position
of the party on declaring
Rahul the PM candidate
ahead of the next Lok
Sabha election.
Speaking seperately on
the issue, Information and
Broadcasting Minister
Manish Tewari put it dif-
ferently stressing that the
'trinity' of Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh,
Congress Sonia Ganshi
and Rahul will lead the
Congress in
2014."Manmohan Singh
is the Prime Minister,
Sonia Gandhi is the chair-
person of the UPA, we
have a young leader in
Rahul Gandhi, who the
youth identifies and
empathises with and this
is the trinity which would
lead the Congress in
2014," Tewari said."So I
would like to beseech
you, do not raise ghosts
and slay them and consid-
er yourself as a super-
man," he said when asked
about the issue of declara-
tion of Rahul Gandhi as
PM candidate.
At the outset, Tewari said
"There are certain people
who are interested in
pushing an agenda and do
not understand the basic
fundamentals of the func-
tioning of the Congress
Party." Maken and Tewari
were responding to
queries on the issue of
projection of Rahul
Gandhi as that two
Congress General
Secretaries Digvijay
Singh and Janardan
Dwivedi have made con-
flicting statements on the
issue.
Singh had hinted that dec-
laration of Gandhi as PM
candidate ahead of polls
is unlikely. But Dwivedi
on Saturday dismissed as
"personal opinion" com-
ments by Digvijay Singh
in this regard. "We do not
have a presidential form
of government. Congress
party does not declare PM
or CM candidates before
elections.... Even in the
Karnataka Assembly elec-
tions we had not declared
any CM candidate,"
Singh, who is also a party
General Secretary, had
said in an interview.
No decision yet on RahulGandhi as PM candidate:

NEW DELHI: A delegation
of BJP leaders from
Uttarakhand today met Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh
and demanded imposition of
President's Rule in the flood-
ravaged state on the grounds
that the Congress govern-
ment there had failed to
deliver. The delegation led
by former Uttarakhand Chief
Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
Nishank and comprising
Tehri Garhwal MP Mala
Rajya Lakshmi Shah among
others met Singh for 30 min-
utes and apprised him of the
situation on the ground in the
flood-hit state. "We informed
the Prime Minister that the
government in Uttarakhand
had completely failed to
deliver during the crisis in
the state. We demanded that
since the government had
failed, President's Rule
should be imposed till rescue
and relief operations are
completed," Pokhriyal told .
The delegation alleged that
ministers and the Chief
Minister were not present in
the affected areas to help the
stranded people.
BJP has also demanded a
white paper on how many
people have died in the dis-
aster, how many are still
missing, the number of ani-
mals which died and the loss
of property. Pokhriyal said
the Prime Minister had him-
self asked him to come over
and meet him to discuss the
issue. Other suggestions
from the delegation included
stationing a unit of National
Disaster Management
Authority in the state on a
permanent basis, installation
of Doppler radars to get prior
warning of cloud burst and
forming a Himalaya
Development Authority for
the region. The former Chief
Minister said he broached
the issue of declaring the dis-
aster a national calamity but
the Prime Minister assured
him that all steps are being
taken and there will be no
shortcomings.
"He said he has formed a
committee specifically to
deal with the crisis and there
will be no shortage of funds
for relief and rehabilitation,"
Pokhriyal said. The BJP
leaders also demanded that
homes should be provided to
the displaced people and ade-
quate arrangements should
be made for taking care of
orphans. "Uttarakhand is a
border state and government
should ensure that migration
from the state does not take
place," Pokhriyal said.

Washington: A total of 15
Indian-American students,
including six girls, have
made it to the national
Spelling Bee semifinals,
making it almost one-third
of the total 42 candidates
who have qualified.The
girls who succeeded
include Himanvi Kopuri
from Colorado, Nikitha
Chandran from Florida,
Vanya Shivashankar from
Kansas, Neha Seshadri
from Michigan, Shobha
Dasari from Texas and
Vismaya Kharkar from
Utah.
Vanya is already making
her third appearance in
the Scripps National
Spelling Bee. Her sister
Kavya was a four-time
participant and the 2009
national champion. Vanya
competed in the 2010
national finals, and tied for
tenth place at last year's
Bee.Indian-American stu-
dent Arvind Mahankali

BeeThe boys who made it
to the semifinals after the
day-long competitions are
Pranav Shivakumar from
Illinois, Kuvam Shahane
from Michigan, Gokul
Venkatachalam from
Misouri, Ryan
Devanandan, Sriram
Hathwar and Arvind
Mahankali from New York,
Ashwin Veeramani from
Ohio, Aditya Rao from
New Jersey, and Chetan
Reddy from
Texas.However, 8-year-
old Tara Singh, the
youngest in the competi-
tion, could not make it to
the semi-finals.In all there
were nearly 50 Indian
Americans who came to
Washington to take part in
this prestigious national-
level competition.Indian-
origin people remain
unchallenged in the
Scripps National Spelling
Bee since 2008, with
Sameer Mishra winning it
in 2008, Laodicean Kavya
Shivashankar (2009),
Anamika Veeramani
(2010), Sukanya Roy
(2011) and Snigdha
Nandipati (2012).For the
first time in the 86-year
history of the National
Spelling Bee, the evalua-
tion of vocabulary knowl-
edge will be formally
incorporated as an ele-
ment of the competition,
the organisers said.
"This is a significant
change in the Scripps
National Spelling Bee, but
also a natural one," said
Paige Kimble, director of
the Scripps National
Spelling Bee."It repre-
sents a deepening of the
Bee's commitment to its
purpose: to help students
improve their spelling,
increase their vocabular-
ies, learn concepts and
develop correct English
usage that will help them
all their lives."

New Delhi: It's the season
for staggeringly high cut-
offs on campus, but one
that don't necessarily make
the cut in the corporate
world. A new survey of
graduate students across
the country, conducted by
Aspiring Minds says that
more than half of them are
not fit to be hired.India
produces 50 lakh graduates
every year. Experts say
with poor English language
skills, computer training
and analytical ability, mak-
ing the cut from the class-
room to the boardroom is
not easy.
Himanshu Aggarwal, Co-
Founder and CEO,
Aspiring Minds says, "Our
education system continues
to be put down by the rote
learning concepts. These
rote learning concepts are
not training people for
functional skills who are
going to be deployed into
the industry in a more read-
ily fashion without any
extensive training."The
survey also says women
seem to be better candi-
dates to be hired in most
categories surveyed. And
metros are still way ahead
of non-metro cities in
terms of skill sets.
Dr. Pradyuman Kumar,
Principal of Hindu College,
Delhi says, "Degrees are
given for the sake of being
given. The curriculum
should be designed in such
a way that it ensures more
employability. We need
more interaction between
the students and the indus-
try.""I'm not in anyway
ridiculing or undermining
the importance of cognitive
and technical ability. All
I'm suggesting is a bal-
anced approach where edu-
cation is more holistic,
more interdisciplinary and
really new student centric
or learner centric rather
than teacher centric. We
still produce are amongst
the best in the world," says
Nishchae Suri, Partner and
Head of People and
Change at KPMG.
The results of the survey
though indicative, they
could be a starting point
for how we view not just
our education setup but
our corporate outlook.
Some suggest that
employment needs to be
viewed as a two way high-
way, where both sides
have some distance to go
before they can arrive at
their destinations.

Brazil — When millions ofBrazilians took to the streetslast month in nationwideprotest against everythingfrom corruption to overpricedbus fares to a despised politi-cal class, the demonstratorschanted, “The giant hasawoken.”The reference camefrom a TV commercial forJohnnie Walker whisky thatshowed a stone giant arisefrom its slumber in Rio deJaneiro. That seemed appro-priate given that the demon-strations were the biggestpopular protests here in morethan 20 years.There was afeeling that citizens in theworld’s fifth most populousnation had been taken advan-tage of for too long and thatthey were finally rising upand saying, “Enough isenough.”A month on from that suddenoutpouring of anger and thesituation has calmed. Unlikein the Middle East or NorthAfrica, where hundreds ofthousands of people took tothe streets for months on end,or even in neighboringArgentina, where protestersshut down cities on an almostdaily basis, Brazil’s angerwas short-lived.As he waitedin vain for more people toturn up for an anti-corruptionmarch last week, protesterPaulo Resende fumed at theinertia of his countrymen andwomen.“The giant has goneback to sleep,” he said.Thereare many reasons the angerhas died down.Politically, the response wasswift and befitting of a presi-dent who spent three years injail for opposing the militarydictatorship in the 1960s.Within hours of the biggestprotests kicking off PresidentDilma Rousseff toldBrazilians she was “proud” oftheir actions and that sheunderstood “that people wantmore.” She then unveiled apackage of measuresdesigned to address some of
the most widely held griev-ances.Rousseff vowed todevote more money to health,education and public trans-port and try to negotiate apolitical reform bill withCongress that would make thecountry’s notoriously unreli-able politicians more account-able.In the days and weeks after,other leading figures also
responded. Mayors and gov-ernors in dozens of big citiesand states, including SaoPaulo and Rio de Janeiro,scrapped the proposed fareincreases and announced theywould freeze highway tolls,review or cancel existingtransportation contracts andeven sell their private heli-copters to cut back oncosts.Congress, too, sparkedinto action, meeting into thewee hours to pass bills theyhad previously rejected orignored, sometimes foryears.That rapid response isone reason the anger hascooled. Although theapproval ratings of almost allthe country’s top politiciansplummeted — Rousseff’sdecline was the swiftest for asitting president in more than20 years — Brazilians couldsee their government hadheard their appeals and was
taking action.“The president listened to thevoice of the streets and shecalled on people to get behindher and the pact she pro-posed,” said Justice MinisterJose Eduardo Cardozo. “Sheshowed that she can lead. Lifefor Brazilians hasn’t changed.The economy is still doingwell, unemployment is still ata historic low. When this peri-
od is over then people willonce again see this govern-ment as positively as it didbefore.”But activists say theyare disappointed that theanger built up over decadesdissipated so quickly.Somesaid that Brazilians are justnot used to demonstratingcollectively. Others believethe end of the ConfederationsCup soccer tournamentrobbed protesters of the inter-national backdrop and atten-tion. The fact that so many ofthe most recent protests endedin violence — either by riot-ers or by heavy-handed police— undoubtedly scared offmany people.And there is also a feelingthat many of the demonstra-tors took to the streets not justto protest, but also to havefun. The marches were apolitical version of carnival,evenings spent meeting
friends, painting faces andwriting snappy placards thatculminated with singing,dancing and drinking.“It wasjust a big party for a lot ofpeople,” Resende said. “Itwas the excitement of themoment. But at the end of theday, people have other priori-ties.”The protests have notstopped entirely, but the onesthat do take place are muchsmaller and more focused. Atthe start, hundreds of thou-sands of people took to thestreets of the two biggestcities Sao Paulo and Rio andtens of thousands more insmaller towns and cities.Now,a few thousand people gatherat most, and their gripes focuson local or niche issues.“The fact that bus fares werereduced is one of the reasonsthe momentum has died,”said Jairo Nicolau, a politicalscientist in Rio who watchedand participated in the biggestdemonstrations. “That was aunifying theme. But nowthere is a tiredness and youcan’t get lots of people on thestreets for generic issues, youneed something for everyoneto rally around.”Some unionsand groups have called for anational strike on Thursday,but Nicolau believes the eraof the nationwide unrest isover and said they will beremembered in history booksas “the June protests.”Butother analysts say that coulddepend on whether authoritiesmake good on their promisesand whether people see — orat least feel — a change.Nextyear is an election year andthe World Cup will be held inBrazil just three monthsbefore October’s presidentialballot.What happens betweennow and then will determinethe national mood. The giantmight have gone back tosleep. But only time will tellif he is to be roused onceagain.
Brazil uprising: carnival's over, everyone
Japan — Kenneth Bae thinksWashington should try harderto get him released from aNorth Korean laborcamp.That was the Korean-American missionary’s mainmessage in a video interviewdistributed last week by aTokyo newspaper that pushesthe North Korean line.Baewas found guilty April 30 ofcampaigning to overthrow theNorth Korean regime fromwithin, with prayer. He wassentenced to 15 years of hardlabor.The Obama administra-tion certainly knows the drillfor seeking his freedom:“Unofficially” encourage aformer president to give face
to the North Korean ruler inexchange for permission totake the prisoner home.(Former governors don’t seemto rank high enough, as NewMexico’s Bill Richardson dis-covered when he failed tomeet Bae during a Januaryvisit.A State Departmentspokesman said of the Baecase in May, “There is nogreater priority for us than thewelfare and safety of our citi-zens abroad.”Then why not gowhole hog?When I raised theissue on social media, a friendwrote: “What purpose isserved by letting this guy rotin an abusive North Koreanprison camp? Call me
Scrooge, but I see five reasonswhy Washington — whileassiduously checking on theprisoner’s condition andrequesting his release —shouldn’t make the ultimateexpenditure of diplomaticcapital on Bae’s behalf:USpresidents, both sitting andformer, should recognize thatthere’s no urgent nationalinterest in Bae’s case. “This ispretty much the same deal aswith Americans who bringmarijuana or cocaine to coun-tries with really severe penal-ties, up to and including exe-cution, for fairly minor drugviolations and then expect theUS government to pull out all
the stops in order to rescuethem,” says Robert Delfs, anAsian affairs specialist cur-rently working in one suchcountry, Indonesia.The Web-based news organization NKNews obtained and translateda video of Bae’s 2009 sermonto a St. Louis Korean-American church. It showshow he got himself into hiscurrent fix by plotting to infil-trate hundreds of Christians,traveling as tourists, into theNorth Korean city of Rason,and by gathering local con-verts for a prayer campaign —“just as God made peopleenter Jericho and collapse itwithout force.”
Should Obama rescue the US mis-sionary imprisoned in North Korea?
