Samuels is a reserved man You saw that when he reached his century — an innings that would go on to become his highest one-day score — in Kochi On getting there in the 45th over of the innings with a timid front-foot push off Ravindra Jadeja to mid-on followed by a quick single Samuels stopped at the bowler’s end and switched off A few seconds passed The confused crowd weren’t certain whether to cheer or not Then almost willing himself to do something he didn’t want to Samuels turned about in the direction of the West Indies dressing room took a few half-hearted steps and lethargically raised his bat The gallery contained all of four team-mates who remained firmly seated as they returned the gesture with muted applause What the hell he must’ve thought So he shifted his gaze to the skies and let out a Braveheart-esque yell Even that roar somehow and as implausible as it may seem was self-contained in nature Marlon Samuels is a reserved man Reserved enough to be dropped from the West Indies team in March this year not so much for his pair against New Zealand in the Kingston Test but due to as a story in the Jamaica Observer puts it ‘the continued decline of the relationship that he has with other members of the squad’ That article titled ‘Have we seen the last of Mr Marlon Samuels’ goes on to insinuate that: “We know for sure that Mr Samuels does not share good relations with a majority of the members of the West Indies team top among them Mr Chris Gayle” It adds that only two members from his local side Jamaica — Messrs Sheldon Cottrell and Carlton Baugh — can seem to even have conversations with him The Introvert It all seems to fall perfectly in place with the features written about him by the few reporters who he has allowed himself to interact with In 2011

happy family lived in a house devoid of furniture and filled with mango trees where the batsman could ‘sit alone and read books forever’ But here’s the question begging to be asked especially with the Kevin Pietersen saga unfurling simultaneously in England Is being different (a non-communicative introvert in Samuels’ case the exact opposite for KP) reason enough to be dropped from a herd game

Wednesday night passed very slowly for Manab Ranjan Datta the prime mover of Purba Kalikata Sarbojanin Durgotsav one of the 4000-odd Durga Pujas held in Kolkata Never before had a full-fledged caste Hindu prayed so hard for the presence of a demonic Asura not in this day and age at least But then Datta was in a bind The moving spirit of his club the Narikeldanga Sanghati Chakra in north-east Kolkata which organised the Purba Kalikata Sarbojanin Durgotsav he had planned for this year’s Puja to be inaugurated by a descendant of Mahishasura himself the buffalo-demon Durga is supposed to have slain to save the world Or so her believers would have it The celebration of Durga Puja goes beyond religion in Bengal Reuters Just as members of the Asura tribe found mostly in Jharkhand but also in Bihar Assam and parts of north Bengal implicitly accept that it was their predecessor a brave warrior whom Durga had destroyed through deceit and treachery So much so that the Pujas the most joyous days in the Bengali calendar are days of mourning and abstinence for them when they refuse to even see the face of a Durga idol So it was quite a coup when Datta was able to announce that a member of that tribe Sushma Asura from Sukhuapani in the deep interiors of Jharkhand would be unveiling his club’s goddess on Thursday evening two days before the official start of the Pujas The news caused quite a stir in the city Shades of the JNU controversy earlier this year do you think when Smriti Irani let the world know about the Mahishasur Martyrdom Day celebrated by some students in JNU “May my god forgive me for reading this” began the then Union Human Resources Minister in Parliament and continued with a poster circulated by these students that read that the Durga Puja “is the most controversial racial festival where a fair skinned beautiful goddess Durga is depicted brutally killing a dark-skinned native called Mahishasura Mahishasura a brave self-respecting leader tricked into marriage by Aryans They hired a sex worker called Durga who enticed Mahishasura into marriage and killed him after nine nights of honeymooning during sleep” “What is this depraved mentality” she wondered “I have no answers for it” she said And dared her Trinamool critics to discuss this “freedom of speech” in Kolkata Smriti Irani could consider a trip to Kolkata in the next few days and pick up some pointers herself Not just on the endless variety that makes the Hindu religion as practised in India so fascinating but also on why it’ll be a long time before Bengal is ripe for the picking for the BJP For whatever else the Pujas may be – and there are enough people to lecture one and all that they are a huge waste of money large-scale squandering of resources in a state that has little enough to begin with dissipation of energy and enthusiasm that could and should be put to better use etc etc – they really have very little to do with religion per se Rather it is one big party that is supposed to be for four days but thanks to the benevolence of Mamata Banerjee now goes on for anything from a week to ten days Offices are closed restaurants are open people of all ages are out on the streets in their fineries gamely limping along in their new ill-fitting shoes revelries go on through the night but the act of worship barely gets a look-see in the whole exercise Yes the goddess her four children complete with their transport are on display in full grandeur in lavishly decorated temporary structures called pandals (a word that does not seem to be in any English dictionary) that crop up on every other road but the ritual of worship is at most limited to an anjali or a mass offering of flowers to the accompaniment of the priest’s chanting one morning and watching spellbound the aarti in the evening which is anyway spectator sport at its best with its pyrotechnics and frenzied beating of drums and clouds of coloured smoke The Puja organisers see their role more as stage managers or maybe art directors than as holy men arranging for attention-grabbing pandals and idols that will bring in the crowds get them their 15 seconds of fame on television and maybe win them one of the innumerable awards that every company small and big dishes out these days for any and everything from decor to cleanliness to eco-friendliness to sheer novelty value Themes are the name of the game each Puja centred around a theme of its choice ranging from tribal art to Rajasthani folk dance to south Indian temples Odisha handicraft wish fulfilment auto ancillaries you name it you will see it in the pandals here So divorced from religion are the Pujas so social the occasion that Mamata Banerjee can bend over backwards to “appease” the Muslims and yet be most sought after as an inaugurator have theme songs written by her sung in pandals and accept with equanimity idols fashioned in her image There are several Durgas this year who look like Mamata Banerjee the real-life demon slayer So secular are the Pujas that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has at last woken up to their usefulness as a medium of mass contact An artisan paints an idol of mythological demon Mahisasura ahead of the Durga Puja festival Reuters “Durga Puja will no longer be off-limits comrades can be part of Puja organising committees” announced a state secretariat member at the end of the CPI(M)’s two-day plenum in Kolkata on 1 October “Direct religious activities” such as aarti and anjali could still be no-nos but “relatively secular trysts such as overseeing the construction of pandals getting official clearances and collection of subscriptions could be allowed” In its heyday the CPI(M)’s only public brush with religion was restricted to setting up stalls outside the bigger Puja pandals to sell Left literature and Soviet publications – and they sold too Purba Kalikata Sarbojanin Durgotsav of the Narikeldanga Sanghati Chakra is not one of the major Pujas of the city Situated in an area that is still lower to lower middle class Bengali it is neither rich nor glamorous It has no A-list patrons though second-ranking Trinamool leaders have been gracing it for the last few years Getting an Asura was one way of breaking the mould of getting their place under the sun Accordingly the pandal has been decorated with rows of figurines of tribal men and women in traditional costume bearing traditional arms ranged along the walls behind flickering flames wrought with plastic and electric lights – not the most artistic representation of tribal life one has to say Still everything was set to welcome Sushma Asura one of the few tribals who could speak in Hindi to their humble abode She was supposed to board the train from Ranchi on Wednesday night to reach Kolkata on Thursday morning where she would be staying for four days But the last few days had been giving sleepless nights to Manab Datta The news from Asura land was not good An Asura coming to inaugurate their Puja had got the publicity they had wanted but it had also reached distant Jharkhand and Sushma was threatened with a social boycott by her fellow Asuras if she dared to celebrate an occasion that is one of the saddest in their lore Wednesday found Datta on tenterhooks Would she get on to the train that night or wouldn’t she Was she coming or wasn’t she Calls to Sushma’s cell phone went unanswered all day Her phone was either switched off or out of reach Thursday dawned hazy and muggy with no Sushma Asura in sight Tribal custom had prevailed over the bright lights of the big city Manab Datta was disappointed but not shattered Sushma Asura would have been the showpiece for sure but she was never the real chief guest That was reserved for Trinamool leader and MP Mukul

that it is the single largest party in the opposition Congress president Sonia Gandhi said Congress was entitled to the Leader of Opposition post AFP "We are the single largest party We have got a pre-poll alliance Hence we are entitled to Leader of Opposition’s post" Gandhi who is also CPP Chairperson said in her first comments on the issue She however said the party has not decided yet whether to approach the judiciary in the matter Rejecting BJP’s allegation that the Congress was desperate for the post and has not accepted defeat the Congress President said "That is not true We have lost the elections We are are aware of that" Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath dubbed as "lame excuse" the BJP’s position that the issue was with the Lok Sabha Speaker "Just saying that there is a direction by the Speaker is a lame excuse to deny the Congress the position The floor of the House is very different and Parliament is very different what it was two decades ago "Today politics is different Parliamentary practices are different Speaker’s directions have been changed over years and merely because of the Speaker’s direction what they (BJP) are citing is not an adequate reason for not giving the Leader of Opposition post to Congress" Nath told reporters outside Parliament House "I don’t see what the BJP is afraid of Was anybody afraid of It is a mere designation and they should agree to it.It is direction of the Speaker which they are leaning on" he said He said "There is no law which says you need 10 percent" seats in the Lok Sabha to stake claim for the post of Leader of Opposition Earlier in the day Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu had slammed Nath for his remarks that Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan’s decision on the issue of grant of Leader of Opposition status could be "flavoured" by BJP Responding to questions over Nath’s remarks on the LOP issue Naidu had said "It is unfortunate that such a comment has been made by a senior leader like Kamal Nath He must have made such a comment based on his own experience The matter will be dealt by the Speaker according to the rulebook and precedent Once elected the Speaker is above the party" PTI New Delhi: CBI on Friday questioned West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan as a "witness" in connection with its probe into allegations of bribery in the Rs 3600-crore VVIP chopper deal with Anglo-Italian firm AgustaWestland 80-year-old Narayanan was asked to appear before CBI officers to record his statement in connection with the deal as he was part of the group which had gone into the tendering procedures before purchase of the helicopters CBI sources said West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan PTI Narayanan was the former National Security Advisor before being appointed as Governor of the West Bengal The sources said the need to record the statement of Narayanan as a witness was felt as he along with Goa Governor B V Wanchoo had participated in the meeting in 2005 that allowed key changes in the technical specifications of the chopper CBI is also expected to record the statement of Wanchoo and he has been asked to appear before the agency He was the chief of elite Special Protection Group (SPG) guarding the Prime Minister before he was appointed as Governor CBI had sought permission to record their statements as part of its probe into alleged Rs 360-crore bribe paid in the deal that was scrapped by the government in December last year CBI registered a case against former IAF Chief S P Tyagi along with 13 others including his cousins and European middlemen in the case The allegation against the former Air Chief was that he had reduced flying ceiling of the helicopter so that AgustaWestland was included in the bids Tyagi has refuted the allegation against him However this decision was taken in consultation with the officials of SPG and the Prime Minister’s Office including Narayanan CBI has alleged reduction of the service ceiling–maximum height at which a helicopter can perform normally–allowed the UK-based firm to get into the fray as otherwise its helicopters were not even qualified for submission of bids CBI’s request for questioning of Narayanan and Wanchoo was earlier rejected by the Law Ministry during the UPA regime prompting the agency to send a request to the President Pranab Mukherjee’s Secretariat seeking permission to record their statement as witnesses The Law Ministry had declined permission saying the two were in constitutional posts which gave them immunity from prosecution under Article 361 of the Constitution The agency has put the investigation in this case on a fast-track and questioned several bureaucrats including former Cabinet Secretary B K Chaturvedi and Comptroller and Auditor General Shashikant Sharma who was the then Defence Secretary CBI claims the parameters regarding the height at which the helicopter can fly as well as the flight evaluation were changed in a manner that enabled AgustaWestland to clinch the deal vis-a-vis its competitor Sikorsky In April this year former Secretary (Security) at the Cabinet Secretariat Sudhir Kumar former Inspector General SPG N Ramachandran who retired as DGP

about getting the French Film Commission (FFC) on board for the film its content and its actors Excerpts: Q How did the French Film Commission (FFC) come into your Kangana-Irrfan starrer “Divine Lovers” A When I finished writing the script for “Divine Lovers” I thought it had the potential to cross over I showed the script to French producer Leonard Glowinski Now “Divine Lovers” is certified as a French production When it releases in France it would be released as a French film Q Would it be dubbed in French A No it would be subtitled in French The FFC is okay with subtitles Everything including post-production will be done in France Even the crew and the music composer would be from France But the film will be shot entirely in India… In Bhopal and Mumbai Q Isn’t that rather contradictory Technically a French film and yet not shot in France A That is because the French like to patronize good cinema They’re interested in an authentic Indian film The whole idea is to do a completely Indian film Film audiences in France are open to all kinds of foreign stories For them realism is important Q Would you be looking anxiously over your shoulder at the French market while you make “Divine Lovers” A No I’ll just make the film I want to Because that’s what the French want My “Revolver Rani” was a homage to the mainstream Bollywood cinema of the 1980s “Divine Lovers” would be far more straightforward It’s not bizarre or ironical In that sense it is the opposite of “Revolver Rani” It’s my homage to Sayajit Ray’s “Mahanagar” Q Irrfan has an international appeal Would that help your film A Oh absolutely Until I came to Paris I didn’t realize how popular he was outside India “The Lunchbox” is the most successful Indian film abroad The regular French German and other European audiences know about him I am so happy to have him in my film We start shooting early next year Q Hopefully your “Divine Lovers” would repeat the global success of “The Lunchbox” A I

the news Chaudhry will take over as ambassador to the US replacing outgoing ambassador Jalil Abbas Jilani Sharif has four possible choices before him to pick the foreign secretary: Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit former ambassador to France Ghalib Iqbal High Commissioner to the UK Syed Ibn-i-Abbas and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Tehmina Janjua He has so far not dropped any hint who his preferred choice would be However multiple sources told the daily Janjua was the leading choice Sharif has not appointed a full-time foreign minister even though over two-thirds of his tenure has passed and runs the Foreign Office through an adviser and a special assistant In normal practice seniority-cum-merit would have formed the criteria for appointment of a foreign secretary But Sharif may factor in his personal comfort with whosoever he picks and recommendations he receives about the candidates One consideration in the past which has not been lately observed has been the incoming foreign secretary should have served as an ambassador in Beijing Washington or New Delhi Basit is the most-senior in the panel of four and has varied experience of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy He was Sharif’s first choice when the prime minister last picked a foreign secretary in 2013 and asked Basit in writing to return to headquarters from Berlin for the new assignment But Sharif changed his mind and appointed Chaudhry in December 2013 Basit was sent to India as high commissioner Basit this time round is out of favour Differences emerged when Basit hosted Kashmiri leaders ahead of planned Pakistan-India foreign secretaries’ meeting in August 2014 leading to the cancellation of bilateral talks Former ambassador to France Ghalib Iqbal is another contender A former naval officer and an engineering graduate Iqbal entered the Foreign Service in 1983 Iqbal’s major handicap is his little experience on the territorial desks He is currently posted as special secretary at the Foreign Office High Commissioner to the UK Syed Ibn-e-Abbas also joined the Foreign Service in 1983 Prior to his appointment in London Abbas was additional secretary (administration) at the headquarters He has remained high commissioner to New Zealand and deputy high commissioner to India Janjua Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva is considered

Published: July 6 2015 1:00 am PM Narendra Modi (Source: PTI photo) Related News For sheer scale and ambition it is hard to think of an Indian diplomatic mission that has matched Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the five Central Asian “stans” — Uzbekistan Turkmenistan Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan The big prize of course is getting India a share in the region’s giant hydrocarbon resources — resources that have led Europe and China alike to woo the region’s authoritarian regimes with blank cheques For years now New Delhi has been hoping to gain access to Turkmenistan’s gas fields the fourth-largest in the world by building a pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan The so-called TAPI pipeline though will have to traverse some of the most violent killing fields in the world a prospect that renders its viability questionable No consortium has so far offered to lead the financing and execution of the project — and given how rapidly the security situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating it is improbable volunteers will be lining up soon Even if the TAPI turns out to be a pipe dream though there is plenty of other business to be done In 2013 Chinese President Xi Jinping toured the Central Asian states holding out billions in loans for infrastructure development The road railway and hydrocarbon pipelines China hopes to build will enmesh its troubled western region with Central Asia India hopes to get in on the act Even if it can’t match China dollar for dollar the Central Asian states are seeking alternate partners to ensure their economies do not become dependent on a single client The Indian-financed port at Chabahar will give exporters easier access to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan Indian firms in Central Asia are already active in everything from engineering to pharmaceuticals and even tourism The prime minister’s visit will give a helping hand to Indian firms fighting for a larger share of business from Central Asia’s energy-fuelled economies — ensuring they’re seen to have political backing just like their rivals Finally there’s the important business of security cooperation The agenda for discussion is formidable Like India the Central Asian states fear growing instability in Afghanistan could destabilise the region In the 1990s India partnered with Tajikistan in a secret effort to fight back the Taliban setting up its first — and only — overseas airbase at Farkhor Then there are shared concerns about violent Islamism The Central Asian states have been aggressive in their efforts to stamp out neo-fundamentalist Islam and Delhi will be seeking to deepen security cooperation The prime minister has had some harsh press for appearing to spend too much time abroad instead of focusing his energies on pursuing economic reform at home In this case though his extended visit marks a long overdue Indian focus on its northern extended neighbourhood For all the latest Opinion News download
