In a major development, Pak-istan has escaped the terror blacklist by the Financial Action TaskForce (FATF). The global watch-dog strongly urged Islamabad tocomplete its full action plan byFebruary 2020, until which thecountry will remain on its greylist.

Sources privy to FATF delib-erations added that, "In light ofthe additional fact of Pakistan'spoor performance on its MutualEvaluation, chances of Pakistanexiting the Grey List in the nextfew years are now reduced to nil.The possibility of a formal BlackListing in Feb 2020 is now high-ly probable."

Should significant and sus-tainable progress not be madeacross the full range of its actionplan by next Plenary, the FATFwill take action, which could in-clude the FATF calling on itsmembers to advise their finan-cial institutions to give specialattention to businessrelations/transactions with Pak-istan, the statement from the

global watchdog said.The note further stated,

"Pakistan has only largely ad-dressed five of the 27 actionitems, with varying levels ofprogress made on the rest of theaction plan."

The FATF has also ex-pressed serious concerns withthe "overall lack of progress byPakistan to address its Terror Fi-nancing risks, including remain-ing deficiencies in demonstrat-ing a sufficient understanding of

Pakistan's transnational TFrisks."

The language used by theFATF in its statement on Pak-istan has striking similarities asthat used for Iran, which is al-ready on the Black List.

By making this decisionpublic, FATF in effect has givennotice to global financial institu-tions that they need to preparefor the imminent 'red-flagging'of the jurisdiction and readytheir systems for the eventuality

of Pakistan entering the FATF'Black list' in February 2020.

The country was placed onthe Grey List by the watchdog inJune 2018 and was given 15months to complete the imple-mentation of a 27-point actionplan, failing which it would beplaced on a list that includescountries like Iran and NorthKorea.

It included safeguardsagainst money-laundering andterror-financing by banned out-fits and non-government entitiesthrough banking and non-bank-ing jurisdictions, capital mar-kets, corporate and non-corpo-rate sectors like chartered ac-countancy, financial advisoryservices, cost, and managementaccountancy firm, jewellery andsimilar related services.

Representatives from 206countries and jurisdictionsaround the world began a meet-ing for the FATF Week in theFrench capital earlier this week.Six days of meeting were fo-cused on disrupting financialflows linked to crime and terror-ism and discuss ways to con-tribute to global security.

Accusing the previous Congress Gov-ernment in Haryana of indulging incorrupt practices, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on Friday said that ef-fective steps have been taken by theBJP government in Haryana in the lastfive years towards development of thestate while the opposition was caughtup in issues within themselves.

Addressing election rallies in Go-hana and Hissar, the PM, in an attack onCongress , alleged that during their rulejawans, farmers and sportspersons werenot safe as that government indulged incorrupt practices in agriculture anssports. During his address in the rallies,ahead of the elections for the Haryanaassembly, PM Modi, taking a dig at theopposition, asked how could such par-ties that are themselves in unstable stateof affairs , provide stability to the state.He said that this was the result of a selfinterest oriented approach of the partiesthat they could't fight with the rulingparty and so they ended up fightingamongst themselves.

The PM said that the people ofHaryana have always set an example ofsimple and good living in front ofeveryone and have also been good inagriculture. He said that the region hasmade the country proud in various ar-eas specially sports and protecting thecountry, be it in the wrestling ring orfighting against militancy.

The longest strike by Haryana Roadways employees took place in2018. About 3 lakh employees of various departments of the state also supported thestrike, which was actually a mass movement. According to senior Congress leader andMP, Manish Tiwari, the situation has now become such that all government employeesare worried that if the BJP regains power, they will be treated the same way as was inthe past five years.

‘CM worked for welfare of Dalits in Haryana’SHIV SHARMAKARNAL, OCTOBER 18

The crucial Haryana Vidhan Sabha elections are just a few days ahead. All thepolitical leaders are looking towards the votes of the Dalit and Backwards. TheDalit leaders of BJP are playing an important role for the victory of Chief Min-ister Manohar Lal Khattar. This is clear by the way the Dalit and backward classleaders are being fielded by the party. Due to this, the leaders of Dalit society canplay the role of a troubleshooter to overcome the crisis of the Chief Minister.

The way the BJP government in Haryana gave plots and financial assistancefor the houses in the loop area of Sector 16 to the people in the Valmiki Colonyof Model Town in Karnal is exemplary. The resonance of this gesture of theHaryana Chief MInsiter Manohar Lal can be heard all over the state. It is prov-ing to be a lifeline for the Chief Minister, the leaders of the Dalit society andValmiki society, which includes Subhash Chandra.

Apart from this Azad Singh in Model Town has helped this society to standin support of the Chief Minister due to his concrete plan. Subhash Chandra saidthat the BJP first appointed him as the Vice President in the Swachh Bharat Mis-sion under the guidance of the Chief Minister.

Indian commentators havealways been fond of theword “civilisational”. It

was already so during theNehruvian days, it continuestoday — it must be somethinganchored in Indian genes. AsI never really understood themeaning of the term, I finallylooked it up in the dictionary:It is “the act or process ofcivilising, as by bringing outof a savage, uneducated, orunrefined state, or of beingcivilised”. Well, this does nothelp much.

The two-day meeting be-tween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and President XiJinping at a resort in Mamal-lapuram was another occa-sion to talk “civilisational”. Afamous columnist recalled:“The Pallava prince fromKanchipuram renounced thethrone, became a Buddhistmonk, known as Bodhi Dhar-ma in India and DaMo in Chi-na, almost like how princeSiddhartha became Buddha.His guru asked him to go toZhen Dan — today’s China.Bodhi Dharma, who becameIndia’s first spiritual ambas-sador to China, also emergedas its chief mentor.

Regarded as Buddhaab-dara (Buddha’s avatar), he ex-pounded Zen Buddhism andfounded the famous ShaolinTemple in China’s Henanprovince,” and added, “Modiis now reviving memories ofBodhi Dharma to positionhim as the icon of India’scivilisational outreach to Chi-

na, which is integral to hisoverarching strategic civilisa-tional diplomacy”.

My own take is complete-ly different. I believe thatwhen nations start speakingabout their past, it is often be-cause they prefer to avoidtalking about the present. Itmay be what happened be-tween India and China duringthe two-day encounter in Ma-mallapuram.

According to Xinhuanews agency, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and PresidentXi Jinping, “in a friendly andrelaxed atmosphere, held acandid and in-depth exchangeof views on bilateral relationsand major international andregional issues of commonconcern,” (Interestingly, Icame across a Chinese reportspeaking of a “relatively re-laxed atmosphere”).

Without denying the greatpast of the Chinese nation,one question was certainly

not discussed at the sea resort:Which type of civilisation canChina boast of today?

The day after his meetingwith Mr Modi, Mr Xi Jinping,then in Nepal, warned thatthose not respecting the “OneChina” policy would becrushed: “Anyone attemptingto split China in any part ofthe country will end incrushed bodies and shatteredbones. And any externalforces backing such attemptsat dividing China will bedeemed by the Chinese peo-ple as pipe-dreaming.” Ac-cording to China’s state me-dia, Mr Xi said this to Nepal’sPrime Minister during hisstay in Kathmandu — to stateit mildly, it is rather unusualfor a head of state to use suchwords. One can imagine whatwould have happened to theIndian Prime Minister if hehad uttered such statements,the Western media wouldhave gone wild.

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2019

For two months, we thought Article 370 was the new Ayo-dhya. Now we find that Ayodhya itself is the new Ayod-hya, what with an atmosphere of inevitability around a

decision or settlement favourable to the Hindu claimants to thedisputed 2.77 acres at the heart of the Babri Masjid-Ram Jan-mabhoomi dispute. Wednesday saw the 40-day hearing end onthe appeal against the July 2010 Allahabad high court decisionwhich divided the 2.77 acres into three parts — two parts,which included the demolished mosque's dome area, went tothe Ram Lalla idol (supported by the VHP) and the NirmohiAkhara sect, while the third went to the UP Sunni Waqf Board.Several other parties joined the appeal, entertained by ChiefJustice Ranjan Gogoi, who set a deadline of November 17, hisretirement date, to a dispute that began, if not with themosque’s construction in 1529, then with the December 1949installation of Lord Ram’s and Sita’s idols.

Impetus for a resolution came after the mosque’s demoli-tion on December 6, 1992 by an Hindutva army, witnessed byL.K. Advani. In the following election, the BJP emerged thesingle largest party and Atal Behari Vajpayee led the party’sfirst government. Two years later, another election, and he wasPrime Minister for a six-year-stretch, a stretch that also saw therise of Narendra Modi, propelled by the 2002 riots, a conse-quence of the murder of 59 Ayodhya kar sevaks.

With the case dragging on, one could have been forgivenfor thinking that Hindutva’s main aim was not so much templeconstruction as to make a historical point: its own rise after amillennium of “foreign invasions”. Now, it appears the templeconstruction will happen: an unfettered BJP Central govern-ment; a Supreme Court that seems a pale shadow of what itonce was; and a Uttar Pradesh government that is rumoured tohave strong-armed the Sunni Waqf Board into withdrawing itsclaim in return for a new masjid in Ayodhya as well as theopening of some mosques controlled by the ArchaeologicalSurvey of India (ASI) for prayer.

The celebrations have begun. UP chief minister YogiAdityanath will spend Diwali in Ayodhya. Muslims, feelinganxious after the revocation of Kashmir's autonomy and thethreats to extend the National Register of Citizens to outsideAssam, are bitterly silent. This was manifest when the waqfboard’s counsel, Rajeev Dhavan, tore up a map submitted bythe Hindu Mahasabha.

Perhaps a just solution could emulate the status of Istan-bul’s magnificent Hagia Sophia. Built in 537, it was the world’slargest cathedral for 900 years, after which it became an Ot-toman mosque for 500 years. In 1931, it was secularised; in1935, opened as a museum. It was a model for societal harmo-ny — except that the votaries of muscular Hindutva are unin-terested in harmony. The verdict or settlement takes place in aworld that has degenerated into identity wars.

EditorialA new temple appearsinevitable in Ayodhya

Researching poverty hasalways been a tricky,controversial affair.

There is no consensus amongpolicymakers, nor econo-mists, on how to count thepoor, nor on what really helpsthe poor. Are so many peoplepoor only because we have asystem that is inherently bi-ased against them and divertsavailable resources awayfrom them? Is there a magicbullet to resolve the structuralissues that condemn millionsto poverty? Who speaks forthe poor? Do the poor have avoice in debates about globalpoverty?

These questions are notnew. The political debate onwhy so many of the poor re-main poor, how they gotthere, as well as how best tohelp them is likely to contin-ue despite this year’s NobelMemorial Prize for EconomicSciences to Abhijit Banerjee,his wife and colleague EstherDuflo and Michael Kremerfor their experimental ap-proach to alleviating globalpoverty.

Banerjee and Duflo teachat the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology and Kramer isat Harvard University. In2003, Banerjee founded theAbdul Latif Jameel PovertyAction Lab, better known asJ-PAL, along with Esther Du-flo and Sendhil Mullainathan,and their work has been huge-ly influential. But as we allknow, neither research nor

policy by themselves caneradicate poverty. The bestpolicies mean little if the im-plementation on the ground ispoor. Banerjee, Duflo andKremer got the Nobel fortheir work on randomisedcontrol trials (RCT), whichhas its origins in medical sci-ence, but which is now usedfor public policies on a rangeof issues, including povertyeradication, better learningoutcomes and health and edu-cation, thanks greatly to theirefforts.

As an ordinary Indian, Iam thrilled that an Indian-born economist is part of thetrio that received such an ho-nour. I am not an economistnor an expert on randomised

controlled trials (RCT) anddon’t find it necessary to pro-nounce a verdict on the valid-ity or otherwise of RCTs in allcontexts. Personally, I don’tsee it as a binary, or an either-or issue. It is true that povertycan’t be alleviated withoutstructural changes in theeconomy and society. In theIndian context, that meansrecognising that barriers dueto caste, gender, social exclu-sion won’t disappear auto-matically or just through leg-islation.

But this does not meanthat we do nothing, or little,till the structural issues areaddressed. Banerjee, Dufloand Kremer’s research hasbeen hugely influential in de-

velopment economics. Delhichief minister Arvind Kejriw-al has publicly acknowledgedthat Banerjee and Duflo’swork inspired the Delhi gov-ernment's education reformscheme “Chunauti”. Banerjeeand Duflo’s research havealso influenced other stategovernments. One example istheir work in Sitapur and Un-nao districts in Uttar Pradeshbetween 2013 to 2014. Morethan 17,000 students were in-terviewed. The policy issuewas an important one. Whilechildren were moving fromone grade to the next, few ac-tually mastered the grade-lev-el competencies expected ofthem. The researchers wantedto find out if targeting lessons

to the learning levels of stu-dents could help address thechallenge of low learning out-comes. This approach iscalled Teaching at the RightLevel (TaRL).

The researchers partneredwith the NGO Pratham andthe Uttar Pradesh governmentto evaluate the impact ofPratham-led high-intensitylearning camps during schoolhours. These learning campswere, in essence, focused re-medial tutoring through“teaching-learning” activityusing the Pratham methodol-ogy and administered prima-rily by Pratham volunteersand staff during school hours,when regular teaching wastemporarily suspended. Theresearchers found that thoughnot all students benefitedequally, the learning campswere twice as effective as reg-ular instruction at teachingstudents to read a paragraph.

One of the most interest-ing issues that Duflo andBanerjee have explored intheir research pivots aroundhow the extremely poorspend their money. A 2007 ar-ticle by Banerjee and Dufloon The Economic Lives of thePoor in an academic journalmade the point that “a com-mon image of the extremelypoor is that they have few realchoices to make”. However,their research indicated amore nuanced reality. The ar-ticle noted that “the averageperson living at under $1 per

day does not seem to putevery available penny intobuying more calories. Amongour 13 countries, food typi-cally represents from 56 to 78per cent of consumptionamong rural households, andbetween 56 to 74 per cent inurban areas. For the rural poorin Mexico, slightly less thanhalf the budget (49.6 per cent)is allocated to food”.

“More surprisingly,spending on festivals is animportant part of the budgetfor many extremely poorhouseholds,” the authors dis-covered. Their research indi-cated that in Udaipur, for ex-ample, “more than 99 per centof the extremely poor house-holds spent money on a wed-ding, a funeral, or a religiousfestival. The median house-hold spent 10 per cent of itsannual budget on festivals. InSouth Africa, 90 per cent ofthe households living under$1 per day spent money onfestivals”. This reminds me ofa funny story.

Many years ago, a littleboy, roaming around in Del-hi’s Khan Market, begged mefor some money so that hecould have a burger. Hisclothes were torn. He lookedas if he had not eaten for awhile. I caught him by thehand and took him to a manselling fruits at the back of themarket and bought him somebananas and oranges. The boypulled a long face and said: “Iwant a burger.”

Greta Thunberg’s fatherwas right when he vo-ciferously objected to

one of the sentiments in thetext the Swedish teenager hadprepared for last December’sUnited Nations climate changeconference in Katowice,Poland. He thought she wasgoing too far, and would alien-ate too many people in theprocess. He was gettingworked up, so the 15-year-oldpretended to take the path ofleast resistance and scratchedout the offending words.

In her hearts of hearts,though, she had no intention ofbowing to the patriarchy. Soshe memorised the sentencesand incorporated them anyhowin her speech at Katowice. “Weare about to sacrifice our civil-isation for the opportunity of avery small number of people tocontinue to make enormousamounts of money,” she said.“We are about to sacrifice thebiosphere so that rich people incountries like mine can live inluxury.

But it is the sufferings ofthe many which pay for theluxuries of the few.” Karl Marxwouldn’t have disagreed. Noris it likely he would havepicked a quarrel with Greta’ssubsequent declaration in thesame speech: “And if the solu-tions within this system are soimpossible to find, then maybewe should change the systemitself?” The Thunberg pater fa-milias was correct in identify-ing such words as potentiallyproblematic. The vilest of bile

has been flung towards Gretain the interim, and it has onlymultiplied in the wake of herimpassioned intervention atlast month’s UN climatechange summit in New York,where she declared: “We are inthe beginning of a mass extinc-tion, and all you can talk aboutis money and fairytales of eter-nal economic growth. Howdare you!”

If Greta Thunberg’s trajec-tory from a solitary schoolgirltaking Fridays off to stage aprotest outside the Swedishparliament to an internationalicon of resistance to an unten-able status quo is remarkable,so is the brutality of the push-back, ranging from the conde-scension of “statesmen” suchas Donald Trump and VladimirPutin to the undisguised hatredof the right-wing commentari-at.

The latter trend suggestsher unequivocal message isgetting through, and it’s spook-ing the vested interests thathave for decades known aboutthe deleterious consequencesof the world’s reliance on fos-sil fuels, but have chosen to donothing about it.

The eminent physicist Ed-ward Teller was warning aboutthe consequences of relying onpetroleum back in the late1950s. Official advisory bod-ies have been highlighting thedangers of carbon dioxide pol-lution in the 1960s.

Environmental degrada-tion was the main underlyingtheme of Rachel Carson’s1960 bestseller Silent Spring,in which she almost poeticallyspelt out the risks of relying onpesticides such as DDT. Backthen, Carson was castigated asa communist dupe and a Sovi-

et agent. Since the early 1970s,internal studies have informedoil giants such as Shell, BP andExxon of where the reliance onfossil fuels would inevitablylead.

Yet such multinationalsgenerously funded so-called‘scientists’and ‘think tanks’—including those who had takenmoney from the tobacco indus-try to undermine the idea thatsmoking was harmful — thatwere willing to push the absurdline that climate change wassomehow a hoax.

That effort is yet to be sus-pended, but it has been severe-ly undermined, not least byyoung protesters hearkeningto Greta’s call. Then there arethose who find school strikeseasy to appreciate, but consid-er the disruption caused by theworldwide Extinction Rebel-lion (XR) too much of an in-

convenience. Perhaps theywill change their minds whenit’s too late.

Greta repeatedly pointsout that those who are disin-clined to listen to the childrenwho are shocked by theprospect of their future beingso decisively blighted by thosewho care only for profitsshould, in fact, be listening tothe scientists.

In the black-and-white vi-sion she acknowledges, de-scribing the Asperger’s syn-drome that enables her to sin-gle-mindedly focus on an im-pending catastrophe, not onlymust the emissions exacerbat-ing the danger of unsustain-able temperature increasescease forthwith, but the richernations must take the lead sothat less developed countiescan build the infrastructurethey need.

Syed Ahmad Khan was one of modern India’s real architects

Sir Syed Ahmad Khanwas a great intellectual,an enlightened and for-

ward-looking educationist, anoutstanding literary genius, anerudite theologian, a versatilewriter and a fearless journal-ist, a pragmatic social re-former, an apostle of secular-ism and Hindu-Muslim unityand one very distinguished ar-chitect of modern India.

It was the true nationalistin Sir Syed, who in 1859 hadthe courage of conviction topublish one of his most fa-mous works Asbab-e-Baghawat-e-Hind (The Caus-es of the Indian Revolt) inwhich he exposed the aggres-sive expansionist policies ofthe British East India Compa-ny and their lack of under-standing about Indian culture

as the primary causes of the1857 revolt. Sir Syed was alsowell-known for his physicalstrength. He enjoyed swim-ming and archery and wasparticularly good at both. Hewas born at a time when therewere a lot of rebellious gover-nors and religious insurrec-tions aided and led by the EastIndia Company. Together,these factors were diminish-ing the power of the Mughalempire. He saw this as an op-portunity and used his educa-tional prowess to stand up andmake an impact in such direcircumstances. Sir Syed is re-ferred to by many as the “manwho knew tomorrow”. Heplayed a very influential rolein bridging the gap betweenthe Oriental and the Westernworld. He knew what changes

were required in society in or-der to move forward and keepup with the rest of the world.He dedicated his life to strik-ing a balance between tradi-tion and modernity andstrived for traditional Orientaland Western scholarship. SirSyed encouraged the massesin society to keep up with therest of the world by stressingon the importance of the Eng-lish language. Many of hiscontemporaries were againsthis ideology and felt that thiswas a disservice to their ownculture. However, Sir Syedsaw the importance of Englishas a step through which thesociety could make major ad-vancements. At that time,most knowledge about mod-ern arts and sciences wereavailable only in English.

Militants have sneaked in JK from PoK,majority infiltration bid thwarted: DGP

AGENCYSRINAGAR, OCT 18

Confirming that some militantshave sneaked into this sidefrom Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), DirectorGeneral of Police (DGP)Dilbagh Singh said majorityinfiltration bids from across theborder were thwarted by thesecurity forces.

Meanwhile, reviewing theoverall security situation,particularly with regard tosafety of fruit traders andoutside labourers, Mr Singhdirected the field commandersof different security agencies inShopian to intensify patrollingin orchards and other places,where apples are being loadedin trucks.

Singh on Thursday visitedShopian, hours after gunmenkilled a Punjab resident andinjured another in Shopian onWednesday night.

DGP said security forcesguarding Line of Control (LoC)and International Border (IB) inJammu and Kashmir are onhigh alert to foil any infiltrationbid from POK, where a largenumber of militants are waitingin launch pads to sneak into this

side before the higher reachesare closed due to snowfall.

'There are few hundredtrained militants who arewaiting to infiltrate into thisside under the cover ofPakistani troops who areviolating 2003 ceasefire,' hesaid.

He said some of themilitants have managed tosneak into this side in 2019 tospread violence and terror.However, he said, majority ofthe infiltration attempts havebeen thwarted by the troopsguarding the LoC and IB.

'Security forces are on highalert to foil any such attemptand meet any challenge infuture also,' he said.

Singh said he visitedShopian to instill confidence

among the fruit traders andoutside workers that securityforces are with them. However,he said, fruit traders will haveto take some precautionarymeasures to foil the designs ofmilitants who wanted toterrorize the people andoutsider traders and labourers.

He said from now securityforces will conduct patrollingin orchards and other places insouth Kashmir so that farmerscould pluck apple and otherfruits and later load them intrucks. 'We have identifiedsome points from where fruitcould be loaded in trucks foroutside the valley mandis. Thefarmers should use smallvehicles to take their productfrom orchards to select points,where adequate securitymeasures are in place,' he said.

About the killing ofoutsiders in south Kashmirdistricts of Shopian andPulwama, the DGP said this isall frustration as people inKashmir wanted to live inpeace. 'The militantsresponsible for the killing ofPunjab resident CharanjeetSingh and injury to anotherhave been identified as SalmanAfghani, Rahil Magray and

Naveed Babu of Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and HizbulMujahideen (HM). We are afterthem and they will beeliminated,' he said.

Singh admitted thatsuspension of mobile andinternet service in the valleyhas affected operations againstmilitants. 'When there wasmobile connectivity, securityforces were getting informationabout the militant movementwithin minutes,' he said, addingthat after suspension of mobileservice 'we were gettinginformation after four hours'.

Only about six militantswere killed after suspension ofmobile network on August 5,against an average of about 20militants every month earlier.

However, the DGP offeredno comments on detention ofpoliticians, including threeformer chief ministers DrFarooq Abdullah, his son OmarAbdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.He said no comments whenasked when they will bereleased.

Besides three former CM’s,several dozen former ministers,legislators and other leaderswere arrested or put underhouse arrest from August 5.ds

Proposals that could have seen promotion and relegation from the Champions League and the group stage of the 32-team competition extended to guarantee more games for those involved have been scrapped due to a lack of support from clubs across the continent. Lampard, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2011/12 and is managing the Blues in this season's competition, thinks putting extra demands on players will water down the quality of the tournament. "If you ask me can you play more European games, I personally don't know where you fit them in amongst our busy schedule," said the former England international.

T20 World Cup 2020 is big focus: Virat RANCHI; As the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2020 is one year away, India skipper Virat Kohli on Friday said the tournament will be a 'big focus' and the team will use this period for preparing.

In the ICC World Cup which concluded in July this year, the Men in Blue faced a semifinal defeat against New Zealand by 18 runs.
