India and Russia are against “outsideinfluence” in the internal matters ofany nation, Prime Minister NarendraModi said after talks with RussianPresident Vladimir Putin on Wednes-day during which they discussedways to bolster cooperation in tradeand investment, oil and gas, nuclearenergy, defence, space and maritimeconnectivity.

Modi, who arrived in Russia on atwo-day visit, during which he willalso attend the Eastern Economic Fo-rum (EEF), is the first Indian primeminister to visit the Russian Far EastRegion.

“We both are against out-side influence in the internalmatters of any nation,” Modisaid in a joint press meet withPresident Putin after their talks.

His remarks came againstthe backdrop of tension be-tween India and Pakistan afterNew Delhi revoked Jammu andKashmir’s special status. Indiahas categorically told the inter-national community that thescrapping of Article 370 of theConstitution is an internal mat-ter and also advised Pakistan toaccept the reality. Russia has backedIndia’s move on Jammu and Kash-mir, saying the changes in the statusare within the framework of the Indi-

an Constitution. The two leaders heldthe delegation-level talks at the In-dia-Russia 20th Annual Summit aftera two-hour tete-a-tete on board a

ship, aimed at strengthening thespecial and privileged relation-ship between the two sides.

They discussed ways to bol-ster cooperation in trade and in-vestment, oil and gas, mining,nuclear energy, defence and se-curity, air and maritime connec-tivity, transport infrastructure,hi-tech, outer space and people-to-people ties.

Modi said a proposal hadbeen made to have a full-fledgedmaritime route between Chennaiand Vladivostok. A Memoran-

dum of Intent was signed betweenIndia and Russia on the developmentof maritime communications be-tween Chennai and Vladivostok.

RAJENDRA KHATRYCHANDIGARH, SEPTEMBER 4

Congress finally took action with re-gards to former Chief Minister Bhupin-der Singh Hooda’s long pending de-mand of removing Ashok Tanwar fromthe post-Haryana Pradesh CongressCommittee’s president and giving himfull charge of the forthcoming VidhanSabha elections in the state.

Now former union minister KumariSelja has replaced Ashok Tanwar as thepresident of Haryana Congress and for-mer state Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda will discharge twin re-sponsibilities of CLP leader and chief ofthe party’s election management com-mittee in the state.

In a long awaited decision, AICCGeneral Secretary in charge of HaryanaGhulam Nabi Azad named Selja as thestate chief and Hooda as CLP leader, re-placing Kiran Choudhry. In doing so theCongress has also maintained the castebalance of appointing a Scheduled casteand a Jat on the two most importantposts of the party president and CLPleader. But in doing so both Ashok Tan-war and Kiran Choudhry have beensidelined. Afterwards Azad remarkedthat, “Congress President Sonia Gandhihas given two responsibilities toBhupinder Singh Hooda. Now Hoodawill be CLP Chief and will also be thechairman of the Haryana election man-agement committee. Selja and Hoodahave both been entrusted with the task of

building the Congress in Haryana andleading the election planning”.

The latest development in the partyhas come as a victory for the Hoodacamp, which for long had been seekingthe replacement of Tanwar and a deci-sive role for Bhupinder Singh Hooda.The announcement came after sixmonths of back and forth on the issuebetween the Hooda loyalists and the par-ty high command. But now that AshokTanwar is no more the HPCC presidentwhat will his role be in the party? It isnot yet clear. Tanwar had become be-came Haryana Congress president in2014 and has completed six years on thepast. According to Hooda camp, Tanwarproved to be the most ineffective leader.Chances are that Tanwar may be accom-modated in the AICC. Congress willalso have to find a new role for KiranChoudhry, as the party will not want todisplease the Jat community. Accordingto Ghulam Nabi Azad everyone, includ-ing Kiran Choudhry and Tanwar, willhave their own roles to play in the partynow.

The third round of talks be-tween Indian and Pakistaniofficials over the KartarpurCorridor concluded onWednesday without finalisingan agreement owing to cer-tain differences on a few is-sues, sources said.

Pakistan insisted oncharging a service fee for al-lowing pilgrims to visit Gurd-wara Kartarpur Sahib, whichwas not agreeable in spirit tothe Indian side.

Sources also added that

Pakistan showed its unwill-ingness to allow the presenceof Indian Consular or Proto-col officials at the Gurdwarapremises. The Pakistani sidewas urged to reconsider itsposition.

The Kartarpur corridoralong the India-Pakistan bor-

der is nearly four kilometresaway from Gurdaspur in Pun-jab, India. Once opened, thiscorridor will allow Sikh pil-grims direct access to the his-toric Gurdwara Darbar Sahibin Kartarpur in Pakistan,where Guru Nanak Devpassed away in 1539.

India and Pakistan havepreviously held two technicalmeetings to finalise the re-maining modalities of thecorridor. During the second

meeting, which took place on14 July, the two sides agreedto complete the constructionof the 4.19 kilometres longfour-lane highway connectingthe zero point of the Kar-tarpur corridor to Gurdaspur-Amritsar Highway by 30 Sep-tember, while the PassengerTerminal Complex at DeraBaba Nanak will be complet-ed by 31 October, Ministry ofHome Affairs had said in astatement.

power tariff by the stategovernment is purely anti-people. This will cause moretrouble to crores of hardworking people of the state.The government shouldreview its decision," she saidon Twitter.

SWAMI CHAITANYA KEERTI

While travelling inUSA recently, Iheard people saying

to each other “Don’t Worry”so often that I became curiouswhy do they say this so often.I asked a local friend: why dopeople say this repeatedly, isit habitual or do people actu-

ally worry alot? Thefriend toldme: Yes, wedo worry alot and evenif there isnothing toworry, wecont inu ingworrying andwill be wor-

rying why there is nothing toworry. This is a new inventedworry for many Americans—and they worry also abouthow to stop worrying. This isa vicious circle of worry,which doubles the worries.America is certainly a verymodern country and this wor-ry is also very modern.

Osho remembers a suc-cessful American author DaleCarnegie who wrote a bookHow to Stop Worrying andStart Living, and says: Thesepeople create more worriesbecause they give you a de-

sire that worries can bestopped. They cannot bestopped, but they disappear— that I know.Osho explainsthe nature of worries andsays: They cannot be stopped,but they disappear! You can-not do anything about them.If you simply allow them anddon’t bother a bit, they disap-pear.

Worries disappear, theycannot be stopped — becausewhen you try to stop them,who are you? The mindwhich is creating worries iscreating a new worry: how tostop. Now you will go crazy,mad; now you are like a dogchasing its own tail. Watch adog; it is a beautiful phenom-enon. In winter in India youcan watch anywhere dogs sit-ting in the morning sunningthemselves, enjoying. Thenthey suddenly become aware

of their tail just by the side.Such temptation, they jump.But then the tail jumps fartherback. Of course this is toomuch for a dog to tolerate,this is impossible. It hurts:this ordinary tail, and playinggames — with such a greatdog? He goes mad — roundand round he goes. You willsee him panting, tired, and hecannot believe what is hap-pening. He cannot catch thistail? Don’t be a dog chasingyour own tail, and don’t listento Dale Carnegies. That is theonly method they can teachyou: chase your own tail andgo mad.

The enlightened mysticsays: Be a watcher and don’tbe a doer. Don’t ask how tostop. When you ask how tostop, you are asking what todo. No, nothing can be done.Accept them — they are.


Sunday’s appointment of five governors by President RamNath Kovind confirms that the ruling party’s partisans, orthose who may have done it ideological or political serv-

ice, will be rewarded. This is naturally in the expectation thatthe appointees may continue to be of use to the BJP.

The appointment of governors is in the gift of the Centre,and there are no neutral governors any more. Governors arenow seldom men or women deemed to be of high worth whomay be relied upon to be careful umpires in overseeing thatgovernance in a state is run according to the Constitution. Un-der the BJP, mostly those of RSS background have been madegovernors, but sometimes others too who have given signalservice to the present establishment. Perhaps the best exampleis Satya Pal Malik in J&K. The Centre could not have found amore subservient politician of non-RSS background to do itsbidding — one who, instead of keeping a reserve expected ofhis office, thinks nothing of jumping into the fray even for anunwarranted wrestle with the BJP’s political opponents.

It’s in this context that all eyes may be on Arif MohammedKhan, who is going to the Kerala Raj Bhavan. Mr Khan wasonce briefly in the BJP. From his early days he was an anti-Congress politician who was with the Congress for some yearsin the time of both Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, and resigned as aminister over the Shah Bano issue.

Seen as an advocate of reform in India’s Muslim society,and also as an intellectual politician frequently known to priv-ilege India’s cultural persona above religion (this suits theRSS), it will be watched with interest if he plays a role for theBJP in Kerala comparable to Mr Malik in Kashmir.

The RSS-BJP, desperately seeking to electorally advancefast in hitherto difficult territory — West Bengal, Kerala, TamilNadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana — may have such ex-pectations. In Kerala, the Left and the Congress have beensharp competitors, but today both try to tailor politics to not af-front Hindu religious sentiments even unwittingly, in order tokeep the BJP at bay. In such a scenario, the new governor’s rolewill be keenly watched.

It is speculated that Maharashtra governor Ch VidyasagarRao, a former state BJP chief who is vacating Mumbai’s RajBhavan, will play an active political role despite his 77 yearsto help the BJP get ahead of the Congress, the state’s reducedsecond party. If so, this will be against the BJP’s unwritten ruleof not allowing leaders above 75 to remain in active politics.

By elevating Tamil Nadu BJP chief Tamilisai Soundarara-jan as Telangana governor, the saffron party may be sendinggoodwill vibes to a state where it’s a political infant, and pos-sibly also clearing the way for a younger BJP leadership inTamil Nadu. Dr Tamilisai will do well to confine herself to herconstitutional duties.

India and France: Enduring, reliable partners

L’affaire Rafale had beenin news in the nationalpress for months thanks

to the former Congress presi-dent Rahul Gandhi, who al-leged hanky-panky in the in-tergovernmental deal signedbetween India and France foracquiring 36 off-the-shelfmulti-role fighter planes.

Of course, it was just anelectoral plank, with no con-nection with the reality of thedeal itself. As a result, sinceMay, nothing further washeard about the French jet;now the flagship of DassaultAviation, Safran and Thales isback in the media; this time forgood reason. Defence ministerRajnath Singh and the Chief ofthe Air Staff, Air Chief Mar-shal B.S. Dhanoa, will receivethe first plane on September

20 at Dassault’s factory inFrance. The first four planeswill, however, arrive in Indiaonly in May 2020. The otherjets will then follow in quicksuccession. The Indian AirForce has already started train-ing 24 pilots in three differentbatches to fly the Indian cus-tom-made combat aircraft,which will be deployed (onesquadron each) at Ambala air-base in Haryana and Hasimarain West Bengal. The news wasreleased as Prime MinisterNarendra Modi left on a statevisit to France (and to attendthe G-7 meet in Biarritz,where he was EmmanuelMacron’s special invitee). Itcame at a time when India wasfacing a difficult time on theinternational scene, with twoof its neighbours, clubbing

their forces to internationalisethe Kashmir issue. China dis-tastefully decided to supportPakistan’s objections to theabrogation of Article 370 ofthe Indian Constitution, whichhas surprised many.

India undoubtedly needsall its energies, resources andfriends to fight on these twoseparate fronts. Let us not for-get that during a recent pressconference at the United Na-tions, Zhang Jun, China’s per-manent representative to theUnited Nations, said withoutany legal basis that India hadchanged the status quo inKashmir, causing tensions inthe region, Mr Zhang arguedthat India had challenged Chi-na’s sovereignty interests:“Such [action] by India is notvalid in relation to China.

Romila Thapar and JNU: CanIndia’s Left go to the rescue?

Najman Bua’s storyabout the defianttamarind leaf resur-

faced in one’s thoughts theother day. We learnt last weekof a malodorous decision tak-en by Delhi’s JawaharlalNehru University (JNU), cur-rently run by right-wing ob-scurantists, handpicked by theModi government. They haveasked eminent historianRomila Thapar, 87, for herCV to see if she could contin-ue as professor emerita at thehistory faculty where she isrevered as a teacher and schol-ar of amazing intellectualprowess.

As enormities of academicand intellectual outrage go,which Hindu fascists are ca-pable of inflicting at will now,this was at best an irritating in-discretion. Thapar is not ex-pected to yield an inch, as sheand her fellow scholars haveendured the slings and arrowsof the growing intellectual in-tolerance in India for decades.She is a key target, yes, butnot alone.

Scholars like Prof. IrfanHabib have fought their bat-tles for democratic principleson several fronts, occasional-ly simultaneously. As thelodestar of the formidable his-tory department he helped de-velop in Aligarh Muslim Uni-versity, Habib, now a profes-sor emeritus, has confrontedMuslim bigotry, Hindu fanati-cism and even rebukes fromhis chosen party, the CPI(M),often all together. The octoge-

narian opposed narrow Mus-lim demands in the 1970s tochange the secular characterof AMU. And we still remem-ber the dark day when Habibwas in tears, pleading with themedia not to give credence tothe canard that Hindu victimsof communal riots were beingpoisoned at the varsity med-ical college. If anything, theirlives were saved. Most de-meaning of all, perhaps, as hecontinued to battle Muslim re-vivalism and Hindutva fas-cism, was that Habib foundhimself in the party doghousefor speaking out. On one oc-casion he was “isolated” forasking that West Bengal chiefminister Jyoti Basu be al-lowed by the CPI(M)’s centralcommittee to become PrimeMinister. Early signs of right-wing intolerance surfaced inacademia when, within

months of the Janata Partycoming to power in 1977, his-tory textbooks of great meritwere banned, including thosewritten by Professor Thapar.Indira Gandhi to her credithad presciently described theanti-Congress JP Movement,packed with the RashtriyaSwayamsewak Sangh (RSS)activists, as fascist. Aware ofthe truer political reality, thepro-Soviet communists sup-ported her assessment, andthey were proved right whenpro-Moscow Sheikh MujiburRahman was assassinated onAug 15, 1975, three monthsinto the Indian emergency, byright-wing military coup lead-ers in Dhaka.

The post-Vietnam cat-and-mouse game of the superpow-ers had shifted to South Asia,and it was not too long beforeZ.A. Bhutto fell victim to an-

other right-wing militarycoup.

To her “fascist” barb, MrsGandhi’s bête noireJayaprakash Narayan retortedthat if the RSS was fascist,then he too was one. The pro-China leftists led by theCPI(M) supported the JPMovement and saw their ownchance in it. They began theirrecord rule of West Bengal inthe wake of the Janata Partyvictory. They unwittinglyagain helped the RSS in 1989by joining hands with the Hin-du right to shore up V.P.Singh’s short-lived premier-ship. The blunders may havesomething to do with today’sdisturbing reality that theCPI(M) leadership is still notunited in describing the Modiregime as fascist. Perhaps MrsGandhi was more far-sightedthan them.

That the RSS rose fromhaving two dismal BJP MPsin 1984 to 85 seats in the 1989elections, not without the di-rect or indirect help of theCPI(M), is important to un-derstanding the bind that In-dia’s public intellectuals are intoday. History students at JNUduring and just after the emer-gency would remember howCPI(M) cadres houndedMarxist historian Bipan Chan-dra because he shared aworldview with comrades inthe pro-Soviet camp. The par-ty’s history of as yet unac-knowledged blunders — arankling one being the vetoagainst Basu becoming PM

— has played a hand in therise of the Hindu right, and itsconcomitant anti-intellectual-ism. It is a saving grace thatthe CPI(M) supported theanti-lynching bill passed bythe West Bengal Assemblyand backed chief minister Ma-mata Banerjee for it. It mayyet not be too late for the leftto help Romila Thapar and hervaliant colleagues to fight forIndia’s promised freedoms.

In the story of Premrani thatNajman Bua told us severaltimes many years ago, therewas a tamarind tree that pro-tected the princess when herseven brothers went hunting.The tree with magical powerstowered over the mansionwhere the happy siblingslived. One day, evil banditsfeigning to be her sevenguardians knocked on herdoor.

The tamarind tree alertedthe princess with a song thatthe visitors were not herfriends. As was the norm inNajman’s stories fromRudauli, located on a detourbetween Lucknow and Ayod-hya, the tree would invariablysing its advice in Awadhi.“Premrani, Premrani khol dekewaarh, tohrey saatonbhaiyya aai gae bhoraidwaar.” The frustrated banditsdirected their anger at the in-terfering tree and chopped offone branch at a time. Finally,they killed the entire tree, buta tamarind leaf still survivedand thwarted the bandits withher warning song.

As the sun rose over theemerald green hills andplains of Assam, the

gateway to the NorthEast, onSaturday, August 31, over 41lakh people prayed and waitedwith bated breath! The fate ofthese people was to be decidedon that day with the publica-tion of the final list of the Na-tional Register of Citizens(NRC) in Assam. The inclu-sion or exclusion of the namesin that list would determinewhether people were eligibleto stay in a place that they callhome; or would they fall intothe category of illegal migrantsand be rendered not onlyhomeless but stateless.

The list is out, but the sus-pense and trauma is not overyet for nearly 19 lakh people astheir names are excluded fromthe list. As with the NRC draftthat was released in July 2018,many discrepancies are beingnoticed. The inclusion and ex-clusion of members from thesame families are being report-ed in several national newspa-pers. Though all is not lost forthem as yet – for the Assamgovernment has announced thesetting up of nearly 200 For-eigners Tribunals to re-scruti-nise the papers. But the har-rowing process of goingthrough the process all overagain could be traumatising forthose who couldn’t make it tothe list. As most of these peo-ple are poor and are daily wagelabourers, it will add an addi-tional burden to their meagreincome, including the cost of

workday losses. The arbitrari-ness and lack of transparencyof these tribunals also raise ap-prehensions that the applicantsmight be discriminated againston the basis on religion.

Ironically, not just the peo-ple excluded from the list, butthe ruling BJP as well, whosegovernment in Assam had con-ducted this mammoth exercise,is unhappy with the result ofthe NRC. A major electionplank of the BJP during the As-sembly elections in Assam in2016, and also the Lok Sabhaelections in 2019, was thecombing out of illegal immi-grants and deporting them.Grand speeches were made onthe assumption that there wereimmense numbers of illegal

immigrants in Assam and allover India. After publication ofthe draft NRC in July 2018,one could still recall BJP pres-ident Amit Shah’s speech inParliament declaring all 41lakh people who were left outof the draft NRC as “ghus-petiyas” (illegal migrants).This was in contradiction tothe statement of then Unionhome minister Rajnath Singhthat these people would not betreated as illegal immigrants,as this was only a draft list.During the 2019 Lok Sabhaelection campaign, senior BJPleaders were heard givingthundering speeches on howNRCs would be conducted allover India to hunt down the“ghuspetiyas”. Even few days

before the publication of the fi-nal list, many BJP leadersclamoured for NRC-type exer-cises all over India, includingthe Delhi BJP state unit chiefdemanding an NRC for Delhi.With the publication of the fi-nal list, more than half of those41 lakh alleged “ghuspetiyas”turned out to be legitimate cit-izens of the country. Out ofthese 19 lakhs, many more willbe absorbed after the scrutinyby the tribunals, probably leav-ing aside a miniscule percent-age of “outsiders”. That willpunch a big hole in the BJPs’claim of illegal infiltration, notonly in Assam but all over In-dia.The story of migration andethnic conflict in the North-east, and more so in Assam, is

extremely complex, goingback to the British period. In1874, Assam was carved out ofthe Bengal Presidency as anew province for administra-tive purposes. Areas predomi-nantly inhabited by Bengali-speaking people like Cachar,Karimganj and Halaikandi inthe Barak Valley, and Dhubriand Goalpara districts in westAssam became part of this newprovince. Thus, Bengalis as anethnic group, comprising bothHindus and Muslims, becamea part of the Assam story morethan a century ago. During thePartition of Bengal in 1905, thethen Viceroy, Lord Curzon, di-vided Bengal into East andWest, amalgamating Assamwith some parts of the Muslimmajority division of East Ben-gal.

This further encouragedMuslim labourers and farmersto move into Assam. Duringthe 1947 Partition of India, asmall Hindu pocket consistingof Ratabari, Patharkandi, Ha-laikandi and half of Karimganjfrom Bengali-speaking Sylhetremained with Assam, whilethe rest went to Pakistan, mak-ing a large number of Bengali-speaking people legitimate cit-izens of Assam. At the sametime, when Chittagong went toPakistan, a large number ofHindu and Buddhist tribesfrom the Chittagong HillTracts migrated to India. Dur-ing the 1971 Bangladesh warof independence, there was an-other influx of refugees, manyof whom did not return to

Bangladesh. As per the Indira-Mujib pact of 1972, allrefugees who entered India be-fore March 25, 1971, the daySheikh Mujibar Rehmancalled for an independentBangladesh, were allowed tostay in India. That’s why thecut-off date was taken as themidnight of March 24, 1971.There is no doubt that there hasbeen some inflow of illegal mi-gration through the porous bor-ders after this cut-off date, butthe majority of Bengalis in As-sam, both Hindus and Mus-lims, were a legitimate part ofAssam for long. The centralquestion in the entire NRC is-sue remains unanswered. Whatwill happen to those peoplewho are finally left out after allthe existing legal proceduresare exhausted, including ap-peals to the higher courts.Bangladesh has always deniedany illegal immigration fromits soil.

In a recent statement, ex-ternal affairs minister Subrah-manyam Jaishankar categori-cally said that the NRC was aninternal matter of India. In theeventuality of a few lakhs ofpeople being rendered state-less, what roadmap does thegovernment have to deal withthese people? Bangladesh isnot going to accept them. Canthe government detain and re-tain lakhs of people that mayinclude children indefinitely indetention camps? That will notmerely be a major violation ofhuman rights, but truly inhu-man.

Where will the people left out of the NRC go?The list is out, but the suspense and trauma is not over yet for nearly

19 lakh people as their names are excluded from the list

With the update, users can choose to be asked each time whether or not to display external images in an email.

The image loading setting was previously limited to the Web version of Gmail, it might have gone unnoticed by heavy mobile email users of the iOS app. Now one can get access to this setting on iPhone and iPad devices.

Australia bounced back from an-other failure from their openingpair as they reached for 98-2 on thefirst day of the fourth Ashes Test atOld Trafford as rain stopped playon Wednessday.

The series is tied a 1-1 withtwo Tests remaining and victoryfor the tourists would ensure thatthey retain the urn.

England hoped to take the mo-mentum of their remarkable come-back at Headingley into the conteston a slightly chilly and overcastmorning and their supporters were

on their feet with just the fourthball of the day.

Stuart Broad claimed the wick-et of David Warner for the fifthtime in this series with the left-han-der caught behind as he made a be-lated decision to leave the ball butallowed a thin outside edge to Jon-ny Bairstow.

Australia then found them-selves at 28-2 when Broad rappedthe pads of Marcus Harris and, af-ter some consideration, umpireKumar Dharmasena raised his fin-

ger and his verdict was upheld byvideo review.

Australia's openers have aver-aged 15.14 so far. Not since 1888have Australia’s top two con-tributed less during an Ashes se-ries. The departure of Harrisbrought the returning Steve Smithto the crease after just 38 minutesof play, the world's number oneranked batsman having missed theprevious Test due to concussion asa result of a bouncer from JofraArcher. To the delight of the crowd

Archer had the ball in hand and ittook him just three deliveries to at-tempt another bouncer. But withEngland sensing a chance to eatinto the Aussie middle order beforelunch, Smith and MarnusLabuschagne quickly settled andset about upping the run-rate be-fore the interval.

Labuschagne, who kept hisplace after replacing Smith atLeeds, looked confident as he pro-gressed to 49 from 82 deliveries,hitting eight fours. Ominously forEngland, Smith who has two cen-turies and a 92 to his name in theseries, looked in confident moodwhile making 28.
