TOP TWEETS
ONLY MOTHER’S
NAME IN LEGAL
AND GOVT FORMS
STILL A CHALLENGE
ecently, a petition in
the Calcutta High
Court argued that “a
single mother’s child
is also a citizen of
this country, and no one can in-
fringe any of his/her fundamen-
tal rights which are guaran-
teed”. The court has sought re-
sponses from the Bar Council of
India and the Bar Council of
West Bengal.
This has been a problem for
single mothers and their chil-
dren as patriarchy only allowed
the name of father in legal docu-
ments. The idea of single wom-
en as parents was unacceptable
in society until some years ago.
Divorcees and unwed mothers
faced nagging by government of-
ficials, gossip and discrimina-
tion in society over the absence
of name of their child’s father.
A long struggle followed. In 2015
it was the Karnataka govern-
ment which said it was “not
mandatory to mention the fa-
ther’s name while writing the
full name of the applicant in le-
gal documents and government
records”. Many single mothers
are still fighting against this dis-
criminatory practice.
R
hina’s recurrent
Covid outbreaks
are like after-
shocks of an
earthquake at its
epicenter. Beijing has persis-
tently denied that the Cov-
id-19 virus SARS-Cov-2 was
created in a Wuhan lab and it
spread after it got leaked from
there. The world bore the
brunt of the alleged lapse but
succeeded in getting rid of
the virus after fighting it de-
terminedly. People began to
rebuild their lives after suffer-
ing personal losses and gov-
ernments all over the world
began taking steps to restore
complete normality. In China
the virus is refusing to go
away. The Communist coun-
try’s zero-Covid policy even
small occurrences are being
dealt with harsh lockdowns
making people agitated.
In the latest shutdown in
eight districts of Zhengzhou in
the province of Henan 60 lakh
residents have been ordered to
stay indoors for the next five
days. The lockdown was a con-
sequence of unrest among peo-
ple over lockdowns. Over
32,000 fresh cases were report-
ed on Friday and a feared surge
in cases has led residents even
in Beijing to stock up essential
commodities.
Frequent shutdowns have
started to adversely affect the
world’s second largest econo-
my and its effect on the glob-
al economy will be visible in
2023. Retail sales and indus-
trial production are estimat-
ed to be at their lowest levels
since 2020, when the pandem-
ic hit the world. The National
Bureau of Statistics of China
report said that manufactur-
ing, mining and utility sec-
tors fell to a negative growth
of 2.9 percent from 5 percent
in March 2022. A comparison
with how efficiently India
handled the situation is una-
voidable. Also, Indian econo-
my is not in a dismal state.
COVID IN CHINA

China’s recurrent Covid
outbreaks are like aftershocks

KPS MENON WROTE A
LETTER IN DECEMBER, 1980
During the tear all the
basic conflicts in the world,
conflicts between the East
and West, the North and the
South, the haves and the
have-nots, seemed come to a
head, and there were
comments when it looked
as if they would erupt
into a third world war,
which would doubtless be a
nuclear war and spell the
destruction of civilization.
Politics livened even the
realm of sport. Lord
Kalinin, President of the
Olympic Council, gently
observed that it was for
consideration whether in
future it would be wise to
hold the Olympics in the
same year as the American
Presidential elections
KPS Menon was born in Ottapalam in Kerala in 1898. He got a first in History
at Oxford. In 1921 Menon joined the ICS. After Independence, he became the
first Foreign Secretary. From 1952 to 1961 he was Ambassador to the USSR.
After retirement, he settled down in his home town, wrote several readable
books. He also wrote a monthly letter to his old colleagues and friends. I quote
below from a letter he wrote me in December 1980. It is totally none bureaucratic.
K NATWAR SINGH
The author is Former Minister
of External Affairs of India
“I have been trying to keep depression
at arm’s length by keeping myself as busy
as ever. Unfortunately, I am no longer
in a position to indulge in my principal
hobby, travelling. Reading, too is becoming
difficult on account of the advent of
incipient cataract. I have therefore been
dictating more than ever before. Apart from
gibing the finishing touches to my revised
autobiography, “Many Worlds Revisited”,
which is to be published by Bhavans in
January 1981 and selections from my
writings, to be published in Russian by
Progress Publishers in Moscow. I have been
writing on a variety of themes to a variety
of journals. Among the subjects on which I
wrote during the expiring year are Hats Off
to the Electorate; Frontier Memories; Where
do we Stand?; Kabul Cameos; Kampuchea’s
Unending Agony; The Living legacy of
Lenin; Our new Foreign Secretary; Our Man
in Washington’ The First Hundred Days of
Nehru; A Historic Visit (on the anniversary
of Nehru’s visit to the USSR-1955); A
Formative Visit (on the anniversary of
Brezhnev’s visit to India in 1973); Towards
the Third World War; The Indian and the
Chinese; Oxford, Then and Now; Pattom,
a politician who a abhorred politicking;
Religion and the State; Giri the man; Old
Memories of New Delhi; Viceregal Vignettes;
Gandhiji’s Guru; Jawaharlal Nehru and
Krishan Menon; My Hobbies; the Day I was
born; Indians Overseas, some silhouettes;
Children a super store house of fun; and
Bless the Doctor, but beware of him.
Thinking and writing about our internal
affairs and the international situation do not
dispel a feeling of gloom but rather deepen
it. In India, despite the return of Mrs Indira
Gandhi who, events have demonstrated, is
the only Indian politician with an all India
stature. Politicking, however, is by no
means confined to India. I am beginning to
share the pessimism, or the cynicism, of
Aldous Huxley who said:
‘I become more and more firmly
convinced that it is completely pointless
to work in the field of politics. Political
action is always foredoomed to a partial,
sometimes even a complete, self-
stultification. The intrinsic nature of the
human instruments with which, the human
materials upon which, political action must
be carried out, is a positive guarantee
against the possibility that such action shall
yield the results that were expected from it”
As for men of religion, “they who think
that they can go into politics and transform
the world always end by going into politics
and being transformed by the world.” To
Toynbee, the world historian, who holds
the same view, the only exceptions are
Jesus Christ and Mahatma Gandhi. The
only hope lies in the man who work on
the margin of society. If these ‘men of the
margin’ remains on the margin they can do
something to mitigate the consequences of
the play of politics.
But how few are there who are content to
remain on the margin, resisting the siren call
of politics, and even if they do how little can
they achieve in the present socio-economic
set up. It is more depressing to think of the
state of the world. How can one breathe
freely, with the world spending 400 billion
dollars a year on arms and armaments and
the nuclear bomb hanging like a Damocles
sword ever the future of mankind?
During the tear all the basic conflicts
in the world, conflicts between the East
and West, the North and the South, the
haves and the have-nots, seemed come
to a head, and there were comments
when it looked as if they would erupt
into a third world war, which would
doubtless be a nuclear war and spell the
destruction of civilization. Politics livened
even the realm of sport. Lord Kalinin,
President of the Olympic Council, gently
observed that it was for consideration
whether in future it would be wise to hold
the Olympics in the same year as the
American Presidential elections. There
is little doubt that these elections, and
the militant positions adopted by all the
parties in the USA, were substantially
responsible for the worsening of the
international situation. The elections
are over, but it is idle to expect any
improvement in the internal situation,
especially with Reagan as President of
the USA…….”
With warm regards,
Yours Sincerely
KPS Menon

What is the need to set up
more jails? We need to reduce
their numbers,” she said.

HUGE RESPONSIBILITY ON DUDI
& RINWA’S SHOULDERS: POONIA
Satish Poonia said that people are fed up with the Congress rule and want a change
PCC MEMBER JAIDEEP DUDI AND
RAJKUMAR RINWA JOIN BJP
Churu: Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee
(PCC) member Jaideep Dudi and former BJP min-
ister Rajkumar Rinwa joined BJP in Churu district
on Saturday. Both the leaders joined the party in
the presence of BJP national general secretary and
state in-charge Arun Singh and the state president
Satish Poonia, a party spokesperson said here. Dudi
is a former parliamentary secretary while Rinwa
was a minister in the former BJP government led by
Vasundhara Raje. Rinwa was expelled by the party
for turning rebel after being denied ticket by the
party in 2018 Assembly elections. He unsuccessfully
fought the elections as an independent candidate
from Churu’s Ratangarh seat.
Sanjay Prajapat
Churu: BJP state presi-
dent Satish Poonia on
Saturday said that PCC
member Jaideep Dudi
and former minister
Rajkumar Rinwa who
joined BJP have a big
responsibility on their
shoulders.
He said that the join-
ing of PCC member and
former parliamentary
secretary Jaideep Dudi
and ‘Ghar Waspsi’ of
former minister Rajku-
mar Rinwa to BJP took
place on the same plat-
form on Saturday and
the party workers wel-
comed them with great
enthusiasm.
“However, real test
will be in the battlefield
of Sardarshahar by-
election. Many things
are connected with bye-
lections,” he said.
Poonia said, “I was
happy when there was
talk of the return of Ra-
jkumar Rinwan to the
party’s fold. I called Ab-
hinesh Maharshi to
know his opinion as the
MLA and was wonder-
ing what his reaction
would be. I had a doubt
in my mind that Ab-
hinesh would refuse but
he said that the party
has to decide, he has no
objection.” On the in-
fighting in Congress,
Poonia took a dig at CM
saying that name of his
film is ‘Gaddar Kaun’.

Thiruvananthapuram
(PTI):
The disciplinary
panel of the Kerala
Pradesh Congress Com-
mittee (KPCC) on Satur-
day issued strict direc-
tive to its leaders not to
bypass the respective
party forums while at-
tending programmes in
each place and directed
the leaders to intimate
them in advance.
Senior party leader
and MLA Thiruvan-
choor Radhakrishnan,
who heads the panel,
said there is no objec-
tion for anyone to visit
any place and hold party
campaigns but it should
be done only with the
knowledge of party fo-
rums there including
the District Congress
Committees (DCC).
This notice comes in
the wake of controver-
sy over party leader and
Thiruvananthapuram
MP Shashi Tharoor’s
recent Malabar tour.
However, Rad-
hakrishnan made it
clear that the discipli-
nary panel did not re-
ceive any specific com-
plaint regarding Tha-
roor’s recent tour and
so there was no need to
give him any individual
direction in this regard.
“We did not receive
any complaint in con-
nection with Tharoor.
But the party in general
has a decision in this
regard. It is an institu-
tional precedent to in-
form the respective
party forums in ad-
vance about the pro-
grammes being attend-
ed by leaders,” he said.
The very thought
that such forums were
bypassed (by the lead-
ers) would erode the
strength of the party
and so the leaders
should take them into
faith and inform them
in advance before at-
tending events, Rad-
hakrishnan explained.
The senior leader
said as head of the dis-
ciplinary panel, he was
just informing this to
all party members.
“As there is no com-
plaint against Tharoor,
it would be an insult to
call him in person and
inform him about this
directive. It is a general
decision and everyone
is equally responsible
to abide by it,” Rad-
hakrishnan added.

THAROOR’S MALABAR TOUR
Gandhinagar (PTI):
The ruling Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) on
Saturday released its
manifesto for the up-
coming Gujarat Assem-
bly polls and promised
to implement the Uni-
form Civil Code (UCC)
and also create an ‘Anti-
radicalisation Cell’ to
identify and eliminate
potential threats as well
as sleeper cells of ter-
rorist organisations
and anti-India forces.
The party’s other
promises include crea-
tion of “20 lakh employ-
ment opportunities”
and take the state's econ-
omy to USD one trillion
in the next five years.
The manifesto was re-
leased at the state BJP
headquarters by party
president JP Nadda in
the presence of Gujarat
Chief Minister Bhupen-
dra Patel and state unit
chief C R Paatil.
The annual cover un-
der the Pradhan Mantri
Jan Arogya Yojana
(Ayushman Bharat) be-
ing doubled per family
from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10
lakh, and girls getting
free education from
“KG to PG” (kindergar-
ten to post-graduation)
are among other prom-
ises in the manifesto.
“We will ensure com-
plete implementation
of UCC in Gujarat as
per recommendations
of a state government
committee. We will also
create an Anti-radicali-
sation Cell to identify
and eliminate potential
threats, and sleeper
cells of terrorist organ-
isations and anti-India
forces,” said Nadda.
On October 29, the
Gujarat government
had announced that it
would form a committee
for the implementation
of the UCC. The deci-
sion was taken in a cabi-
net meeting that day.
The manifesto also
promised enactment of
the ‘Gujarat Recovery of
Damages of Public and
Private Properties Act’ to
recover the cost of dam-
age caused to public and
private properties by an-
ti-social elements during
riots and protests.
Other key promises
include setting up of
two seafood parks in
south Gujarat and Sau-
rashtra region, free di-
agnostic service at
health centres and ap-
proved laboratories for
EWS households, set-
ting up three civil hos-
pitals or ‘Medi Cities’,
two AIIMS-level institu-
tions, and converting
20,000 govt schools into
‘Schools of Excellence’.

Ahmedabad (PTI):
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on Saturday
said terror attacks were
rampant when Con-
gress was in power and
terrorists from Paki-
stan used to kill Indian
soldiers but the then
ruling party never con-
demned them due to
“vote bank” politics.
Paying tributes to the
victims of the Novem-
ber 26, 2008 (26/11)
Mumbai terror attack,
Shah said it is impossi-
ble to carry out such an
attack under the watch
of the Modi govt.
“Today is the anni-
versary of the 26/11 at-
tack. On this day (in
2008), Pakistani terror-
ists killed 164 persons
in Mumbai. Though
such attacks were ram-
pant during the Con-
gress rule, it is not pos-
sible to carry out a 26/11
type terror attack today
because Narendra Modi
is the prime minister,”
Shah said at a rally in
Talaja. Voting on Talaja
and 88 other seats will
be held on December 1.
“Sonia (Gandhi) and
(former PM) Manmo-
han Singh were in pow-
er for ten years from
2004 till 2014. During
their regime, terrorists
from Pakistan used to
enter India frequently
and kill our soldiers
and even decapitated
their heads. Despite
that, Congress never ut-
tered a word. Why? Be-
cause of their vote
bank. I hope you know
who is Congress’ vote
bank,” the senior
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) leader said.

and corruption.
At a rally in Somnath
town in Gir Somnath,
he also accused main
opposition Congress of
not respecting other
people’s religions be-
cause of its “Muslim
vote bank”.
“A ‘Namoona’ (buf-
foon) from Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) who is vis-
iting Gujarat now a days
is a true well-wisher of
terrorism. He had also
opposed the construc-
tion of Ram temple in
Ayodhya. He had sought
proof from our brave
soldiers when the Indi-
an Army carried out a
surgical strike in Paki-
stan,” said Adityanath.

“taught a lesson” in 2002 and that the Bharatiya Ja-

violence in 2002 following the train burning incident
at Godhra railway station in February that year.

New Delhi (ANI):
Stressing the impor-
tance of the Constitu-
tion and the Father of
the Indian Constitution,
Congress MP Rahul
Gandhi said on the occa-
sion of Constitution
Day that Bhimrao Ram-
ji Ambedkar urged us to
march on the road to
unity. He took to Twitter
and posted a video of
the Indian Constitution
being signed by Jawaha-
rlal Nehru, Mahatama
Gandhi and others on
November 26, 1949. The
video also showed the
fundamental rights
granted to every citizen
in the country.
“Babasaheb urged us
to march on the road to
unity. I will walk that
road long enough, until
every word of our Con-
stitution is upheld, and
every citizen stands pro-
tected by fairness and
justice,” he tweeted.
Congress general sec-
retary Jairam Ramesh
said the draft constitu-
tion was adopted by the
constituent assembly on
26.11.1949 and the con-
stituent assembly de-
cided that it would come
into force from 26.01.1950
which is since celebrat-
ed as Republic Day.
“Ideological foun-
tainheads of BJP had
nothing whatsoever to
do in making the Con-
stitution,” he said in a
series of tweets.
Recalling BR Ambed-
kar’s speech of Novem-
ber 25, 1949 while pilot-
ing the final draft of the
Constitution, he said, “I
wish to remind the
prime minister and his
drum beaters of just
two paras from that
speech.” He shared por-
tions of the speech.
Kharge said the Con-
gress has embarked on
the Bharat Jodo Yatra
to unite the nation
against forces of hatred
and divisiveness.
“Let us unitedly take
ownership of bringing
India back to its consti-
tutional values and re-
storing the nation to a
time when these values
thrived. The only way to
control this new hegem-
onic disposition is to
counter it with ideolog-
ical and moral
strength,” he noted.
He also alleged that
within the system, the
ruling party has re-
stricted the opposition’s
all avenues to express
dissent.
“Routine muting of
microphones in Parlia-
ment whenever the
BJP’s (in)actions are
questioned and spaces
in media that are acces-
sible to us are shrink-
ing every day,” he said.
“Illegal has become
legal because the fringe
has now become main-
stream. The foremost
tangible spirit of our
democracy is being dis-
torted and disrespected
by people who are using
it as a means to push a
completely contrasting
agenda,” Kharge said.

Dubai (PTI): A wom -
an from Kerala, who
hails ‘Messi’ as her
hero, has set out on a
solo trip in her cus-

Although heartbro-
ken at Argentina’s loss
against Saudi Arabia,
the 33-year-old still
showed high hopes for
her favourite team in
the next match.
Earlier this week,
Argentina lost to Sau-
di Arabia and is now
set to play against
Mexico on Sunday.
“I just want to see
my hero Lionel Messi
play. The loss to Saudi

am sure it is only a
small hiccup on their
way to lifting the cup,”
the newspaper quoted
her as saying.
Noushi who is trav-
elling through the
Gulf countries in her
SUV, got it shipped to
Oman from Mumbai
which is incidentally
the first Indian-regis-
tered right-hand vehi-

DIGVIJAYA SINGH FALLS DURING BHARAT JODO YATRA,
UNHURT; BJP, CONG SPAR OVER ROAD CONDITIONS
Manihar (PTI): Senior Congress leader Digvijaya
Singh fell while taking part in the Rahul Gandhi-
led Bharat Jodo Yatra near Barwaha in Madhya
Pradesh's Khargone district on Saturday, the
incident igniting a verbal tussle between the op-
position party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata
Party on the condition of the state's roads. Singh
was unhurt after he fell while moving towards
a roadside restaurant during tea break amid the
march and was immediately helped to his feet by
Congress workers surrounding him, eye-witnesses
said. "Digvijaya Singh has fallen to the ground four
times so far during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. However,
he has fallen for the first time in Madhya Pradesh
and the reason is the state also has bad roads," All
India Congress Committee media in charge Jairam
Ramesh told reporters.

Raipur (PTI): The Chhat-

istered an FIR against a
man for allegedly posting
a doctored video on social
media of pro-Pakistani
slogans being raised dur-
ing the Congress' 'Bharat
Jodo Yatra'. A member
of the Congress legal cell
lodged a complaint in
Raipur, following which
an FIR was registered
against a man, who
hails from neighbouring
Madhya Pradesh, said the
SHO of Civil Lines police
station said. The Con-
gress legal cell alleged
that the accused had on
Friday posted a doctored
video of the yatra on his
Twitter handle.

Stressing the impor-
tance of the Constitu-
tion and the Father of
the Indian Constitution,
Congress MP Rahul
Gandhi said on the occa-
sion of Constitution
Day that Bhimrao Ram-
ji Ambedkar urged us to
march on the road to
unity. He took to Twitter
and posted a video of
the Indian Constitution
being signed by Jawaha-
rlal Nehru, Mahatama
Gandhi and others on
November 26, 1949. The
video also showed the
fundamental rights
granted to every citizen
in the country.
“Babasaheb urged us
to march on the road to
unity. I will walk that
road long enough, until
every word of our Con-
stitution is upheld, and
every citizen stands pro-
tected by fairness and
justice,” he tweeted.
Congress general sec-
retary Jairam Ramesh
said the draft constitu-
tion was adopted by the
constituent assembly on
26.11.1949 and the con-
stituent assembly de-
cided that it would come
into force from 26.01.1950
which is since celebrat-
ed as Republic Day.
“Ideological foun-
tainheads of BJP had
nothing whatsoever to
do in making the Con-
stitution,” he said in a
series of tweets.
Recalling BR Ambed-
kar’s speech of Novem-
ber 25, 1949 while pilot-
ing the final draft of the
Constitution, he said, “I
wish to remind the
prime minister and his
drum beaters of just
two paras from that
speech.” He shared por-
tions of the speech.
Kharge said the Con-
gress has embarked on
the Bharat Jodo Yatra
to unite the nation
against forces of hatred
and divisiveness.
“Let us unitedly take
ownership of bringing
India back to its consti-
tutional values and re-
storing the nation to a
time when these values
thrived. The only way to
control this new hegem-
onic disposition is to
counter it with ideolog-
ical and moral
strength,” he noted.
He also alleged that
within the system, the
ruling party has re-
stricted the opposition’s
all avenues to express
dissent.
“Routine muting of
microphones in Parlia-
ment whenever the
BJP’s (in)actions are
questioned and spaces
in media that are acces-
sible to us are shrink-
ing every day,” he said.
“Illegal has become
legal because the fringe
has now become main-
stream. The foremost
tangible spirit of our
democracy is being dis-
torted and disrespected
by people who are using
it as a means to push a
completely contrasting
agenda,” Kharge said.

India seeks to shrink budget deficit by 50bps
MODI GOVT’S CHALLENGE AMID GLOBAL HEADWINDS
New Delhi (Agencies):
India wants to narrow its
budget deficit by at least 50
basis points, according to
people familiar with the
matter, as authorities bal-
ance global investor scru-
tiny with the need for high-
er spending as the nation
enters an election year.
Finance Minister Nir-
mala Sitharaman will seek
to shrink the shortfall to
less than 6% of gross do-
mestic product in the year
starting April 1, the people
said, asking not to be iden-
tified as the deliberations
are private. Her presenta-
tion due Feb. 1 will be the
final full-year budget be-
fore citizens elect their
new prime minister in the
summer of 2024, a time
when Indian governments
typically loosen the purse
strings.
What complicates mat-
ters for Sitharaman is that
her food and energy bills
are inflated by the war in
Ukraine and given India
runs a current-account
deficit as well, the rupee
has been weakening to suc-
cessive record lows. Subsi-
dies on food, fertilizer and
fuel will cost at least $67
billion in the year ending
March 2023 — or 2.1% of
GDP — against the budget
estimate of 3.2 trillion ru-
pees ($39.2 billion),
Bloomberg News had re-
ported earlier. The Reserve
Bank of India has already
lost $100 billion from its
reserves defending the cur-
rency and, given the
strength of the dollar, it’s
perhaps wiser to allow rea-
sonable amounts of depre-
ciation and preserve stock-
piles of the greenback, the
people said.
AUTHORITIES BEING CAUTIOUS AS INDIA
NEEDS FOREIGN INFLOWS TO BRIDGE DEFICITS
New Delhi (Agencies): The people familiar with the matter said that
while authorities won’t change domestic policies to facilitate India’s
inclusion in global bond indexes, policy makers want to ensure
funds see India as an attractive destination and maintaining fiscal
discipline is a priority for the government. They added the subsidy

Are big tech giants turning heartless?
First India Bureau
New Delhi: 2022 has not

in tech giants like Ama-

among others as the com-
panies have slashed jobs
this year, with some citing
the COVID-19 pandemic is-

denly staring at an uncer-

nology companies and
start-ups announce mass
layoffs due to global head-
winds and funding
crunches with many re-

for mass layoffs include
business closing, cost-re-

increase in technological
advancements, no particu-

changing standards and

“My appeal is, more and

ing with climate and cli-

absolutely precious,” she
said and asked the startups
to work towards improving
conditions of farmers, ur-

ups can also look at mar-
kets which can fetch much
better price for farmers,
which can also generate lot
of employment for them
because of the value addi-

in, she explained.

India seeks to shrink budget deficit by 50bps
MODI GOVT’S CHALLENGE AMID GLOBAL HEADWINDS
New Delhi (Agencies):
India wants to narrow its
budget deficit by at least 50
basis points, according to
people familiar with the
matter, as authorities bal-
ance global investor scru-
tiny with the need for high-
er spending as the nation
enters an election year.
Finance Minister Nir-
mala Sitharaman will seek
to shrink the shortfall to
less than 6% of gross do-
mestic product in the year
starting April 1, the people
said, asking not to be iden-
tified as the deliberations
are private. Her presenta-
tion due Feb. 1 will be the
final full-year budget be-
fore citizens elect their
new prime minister in the
summer of 2024, a time
when Indian governments
typically loosen the purse
strings.
What complicates mat-
ters for Sitharaman is that
her food and energy bills
are inflated by the war in
Ukraine and given India
runs a current-account
deficit as well, the rupee
has been weakening to suc-
cessive record lows. Subsi-
dies on food, fertilizer and
fuel will cost at least $67
billion in the year ending
March 2023 — or 2.1% of
GDP — against the budget
estimate of 3.2 trillion ru-
pees ($39.2 billion),
Bloomberg News had re-
ported earlier. The Reserve
Bank of India has already
lost $100 billion from its
reserves defending the cur-
rency and, given the
strength of the dollar, it’s
perhaps wiser to allow rea-
sonable amounts of depre-
ciation and preserve stock-
piles of the greenback, the
people said.
AUTHORITIES BEING CAUTIOUS AS INDIA
NEEDS FOREIGN INFLOWS TO BRIDGE DEFICITS
New Delhi (Agencies): The people familiar with the matter said that
while authorities won’t change domestic policies to facilitate India’s
inclusion in global bond indexes, policy makers want to ensure
funds see India as an attractive destination and maintaining fiscal
discipline is a priority for the government. They added the subsidy
bill next year could ease as commodity prices are expected to cool
and the government intends to ramp up domestic production of fer-
tilizers. A free food grains program that fed about 800 million people

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
WILL PRIYANKA CONTEST HER FIRST ELECTION FROM MP?
BJP TAKING
CONGRESS
FORWARD
D
elhi’s local body
elections have taken
an interesting turn, with
initial trends show-
ing AAP’s lead in more
than 150 seats in the
MCD elections. Here a
direct fi ght is being told
between Aam Aadmi
Party and BJP, while
Congress candidates are
seen struggling even to
join the main fi ght. Now
BJP has started a new
‘game’ in Delhi, as the
party has started helping
Congress candidates
from within. If sources
are to be believed, the
BJP is not only opening
its purse strings to bring
the Congress into the
fray, but its people have
also started campaigning
for Congress candidates
wearing Congress caps.
A similar case was also
seen in Laxmi Nagar area
of Delhi. The BJP believes
that ‘the more Congress
grows, it will cut into
AAP’s vote, this can create
an advantage for the BJP’.
P
olitics has its own tradition of sunshine and shadow and even the Gandhi fam-
ily understands this very well. So, Priyanka Gandhi and her family chose Madhya
Pradesh very thoughtfully to join in on Rahul’s
‘Bharat Jodo Yatra.’ When Rahul’s Yatra
reached Khandwa, Priyanka joined the Yatra for the fi rst time
with her husband Robert and son Rehaan. When this
Yatra
reaches Mhow, Congress National President Mallikarjun
Kharge will also participate in it. If sources are to be believed,
Priyanka is looking for a number of Lok Sabha seats for 2024
which will not ‘disappoint’ her. Party stalwarts like Kamal Nath
and Digvijay Singh have already advocated sending Priyanka
to Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh. Congress needs a
young leadership in Madhya Pradesh after Jyotiraditya Scindia
joined BJP, as both the veteran Congress leaders, Kamal Nath
and Digvijaya Singh have become old. If the Ram temple is
completed in 2024, then the Uttar Pradesh may witness a ‘full
bloom’ of the lotus and in such a situation, Priyanka would not want to take the risk of
reconquering the forts of Amethi or Raebareli. Perhaps this is the reason, why Rahul
Gandhi is also concentrating heavily on Madhya Pradesh. He is also raising the issue of
the core voters of the Congress, the tribal community, and the Congress organisation
of the state is also seen united behind him.
ARVIND KEJRIWAL FOCUSES
BACK ON NEW DELHI
A
AP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal is well
aware of what does the victory in Delhi
Municipal Corporation polls means for
his party’s new rise. So, when he heard of
‘troubled times’ in his party in Delhi, he
left everything, i.e. left the poll campaign
of Gujarat midway, returned to Delhi &
put all his energy in elections here. Kejri
knows that this time his party may not
make a big splash in Gujarat, but it can
defi nitely make its Mayor in Delhi. So, in
order to corner the BJP, AAP is raising lo-
cal issues in Delhi, such as mountains of
garbage, cleanliness & hygiene, menace
of monkeys & stray dogs in Delhi. On the
other hand, BJP is bringing its CMs from
other states to Delhi for its campaign,
who have no special knowledge of the
local issues of Delhi. The BJP has come
on its ‘winning face’, which means that
now Delhi Municipal polls will also be
fought on Modi’s face, who has brought
the biggest guarantee of winning polls for
Saffron Party continuously since 2014.
LALU UNDER SON TEJASHWI
YADAV’S INFLUENCE
T
he new team announced by RJD
supremo Lalu Yadav before leaving for
Singapore for his treatment, clearly shows
the infl uence of his son and his political heir
Tejashwi Yadav on this new team. Unlike
Lalu, Tejashwi seems to be an advocate of
promoting leaders with a slightly clean im-
age in his party. Lalu announced a new ex-
ecutive of 85 members, wherein, 10 Yadav
and only 3 Muslim faces have found place.
Among the 10 leaders, who have been
made National General Secretaries, only one
Muslim face is included in the form of Syed
Faisal Ali. Earlier, when the by-elections
were being held in Gopalganj, Tejashwi
had refused to share the stage with Hina
Shahab, widow of the ill-fated Bahubali Sha-
habuddin. While Hina had left for Gopalganj
with her entourage of 50 vehicles to attend
the RJD rally, she had to return midway
after Tejashwi’s ‘no’.
Annoyed, she fi elded
one of her candi-
dates from Owaisi’s
party who got more
than 12,000 votes
and Tejashwi’s of-
fi cial candidate lost the
election by just 1,800
votes. Despite this,
Tejashwi has tried to
present an example.
WHO IS BEHIND ASSAM CHIEF
MINISTER HIMANTA BISWA SARMA?
A
ssam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is
gearing up to challenge Yogi Adityanath, the big-
gest champion of Hindutva in BJP. Sarma is consid-
ered very close to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Sarma often makes headlines by making strange
statements. During Rahul Gandhi’s visit, he compared
Rahul Gandhi’s face with Saddam Hussain regarding
his grown beard, then he was also challenged by the
Congress not to violate the decorum of language.
If sources are to be believed, the top leadership of
BJP is gradually raising him as the new champion
of Hindutva as an option of Yogi so that he can
prominently occupy a place among
the leaders of the second line of
the party. On the other hand,
Yogi Adityanath is one of the
most sought after leaders for
his election meetings, be it
Karnataka or Kerala, North East
or Odisha, even in Modi-Shah’s
home state of Gujarat. Perhaps
this thing is bringing stress on the
foreheads of the top leadership
of the party. So, efforts are
on to project Sarma as an
alternative to Yogi.
WHICH TWO ‘JOURNALISTS’ DID
RAHUL GANDHI CHOOSE?
I
n his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ instead of giving interviews
to eminent journalists or TV anchors, Rahul Gandhi
openly shared his heart with two YouTubers. One of
them is Shyam Meera Singh, who made a programme
by researching on Adani Group’s un-
expected fl ight and Pulwama. The
other is Samdish Bhatia, who
humorously interviews Rahul
for his channel ‘Unfi ltered by
Samdish’, walks with him on
the yatra. Yogendra Yadav and
Kanhaiya Kumar are believed
to have played an important
role in arranging these two
interviews. It is believed that
Kanhaiya Kumar is going to get
the fruits of his hard work soon,
as he can be the new President
of Bihar Pradesh Congress
Committee. Yogendra Yadav
can also get some impor-
tant responsibility in the
organisation.

“This journey will be
historic,” he said. “Till
now the journey of 2000

ed. During this, the
yatra has received a his-
toric welcome,” he said.
Targeting the Central
Government, he said
that the Centre has
failed to deal with ris-
ing inflation, unem-
ployment and deterio-
rating harmony. “In
such a situation, Rahul
Gandhi is working hard
to maintain brother-

hol, but no one cared,”
he said. Targeting the
Centre, he said, “For
the 1st time in nation
entire govt has been
changed (in Gujarat).
Small industries came

WILL PRIYANKA CONTEST HER FIRST ELECTION FROM MP?
BJP TAKING
CONGRESS
FORWARD
D
elhi’s local body
elections have taken
an interesting turn, with
initial trends show-
ing AAP’s lead in more
than 150 seats in the
MCD elections. Here a
direct fi ght is being told
between Aam Aadmi
Party and BJP, while
Congress candidates are
seen struggling even to
join the main fi ght. Now
BJP has started a new
‘game’ in Delhi, as the
party has started helping
Congress candidates
from within. If sources
are to be believed, the
BJP is not only opening
its purse strings to bring
the Congress into the
fray, but its people have
also started campaigning
for Congress candidates
wearing Congress caps.
A similar case was also
seen in Laxmi Nagar area
of Delhi. The BJP believes
that ‘the more Congress
grows, it will cut into
AAP’s vote, this can create
an advantage for the BJP’.
P
olitics has its own tradition of sunshine and shadow and even the Gandhi fam-
ily understands this very well. So, Priyanka Gandhi and her family chose Madhya
Pradesh very thoughtfully to join in on Rahul’s
‘Bharat Jodo Yatra.’ When Rahul’s Yatra
reached Khandwa, Priyanka joined the Yatra for the fi rst time
with her husband Robert and son Rehaan. When this
Yatra
reaches Mhow, Congress National President Mallikarjun
Kharge will also participate in it. If sources are to be believed,
Priyanka is looking for a number of Lok Sabha seats for 2024
which will not ‘disappoint’ her. Party stalwarts like Kamal Nath
and Digvijay Singh have already advocated sending Priyanka
to Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh. Congress needs a
young leadership in Madhya Pradesh after Jyotiraditya Scindia
joined BJP, as both the veteran Congress leaders, Kamal Nath
and Digvijaya Singh have become old. If the Ram temple is
completed in 2024, then the Uttar Pradesh may witness a ‘full
bloom’ of the lotus and in such a situation, Priyanka would not want to take the risk of
reconquering the forts of Amethi or Raebareli. Perhaps this is the reason, why Rahul
Gandhi is also concentrating heavily on Madhya Pradesh. He is also raising the issue of
the core voters of the Congress, the tribal community, and the Congress organisation
of the state is also seen united behind him.
ARVIND KEJRIWAL FOCUSES
BACK ON NEW DELHI
A
AP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal is well
aware of what does the victory in Delhi
Municipal Corporation polls means for
his party’s new rise. So, when he heard of
‘troubled times’ in his party in Delhi, he
left everything, i.e. left the poll campaign
of Gujarat midway, returned to Delhi &
put all his energy in elections here. Kejri
knows that this time his party may not
make a big splash in Gujarat, but it can
defi nitely make its Mayor in Delhi. So, in
order to corner the BJP, AAP is raising lo-
cal issues in Delhi, such as mountains of
garbage, cleanliness & hygiene, menace
of monkeys & stray dogs in Delhi. On the
other hand, BJP is bringing its CMs from
other states to Delhi for its campaign,
who have no special knowledge of the
local issues of Delhi. The BJP has come
on its ‘winning face’, which means that
now Delhi Municipal polls will also be
fought on Modi’s face, who has brought
the biggest guarantee of winning polls for
Saffron Party continuously since 2014.
LALU UNDER SON TEJASHWI
YADAV’S INFLUENCE
T
he new team announced by RJD
supremo Lalu Yadav before leaving for
Singapore for his treatment, clearly shows
the infl uence of his son and his political heir
Tejashwi Yadav on this new team. Unlike
Lalu, Tejashwi seems to be an advocate of
promoting leaders with a slightly clean im-
age in his party. Lalu announced a new ex-
ecutive of 85 members, wherein, 10 Yadav
and only 3 Muslim faces have found place.
Among the 10 leaders, who have been
made National General Secretaries, only one
Muslim face is included in the form of Syed
Faisal Ali. Earlier, when the by-elections
were being held in Gopalganj, Tejashwi
had refused to share the stage with Hina
Shahab, widow of the ill-fated Bahubali Sha-
habuddin. While Hina had left for Gopalganj
with her entourage of 50 vehicles to attend
the RJD rally, she had to return midway
after Tejashwi’s ‘no’.
Annoyed, she fi elded
one of her candi-
dates from Owaisi’s
party who got more
than 12,000 votes
and Tejashwi’s of-
fi cial candidate lost the
election by just 1,800
votes. Despite this,
Tejashwi has tried to
present an example.
WHO IS BEHIND ASSAM CHIEF
MINISTER HIMANTA BISWA SARMA?
A
ssam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is
gearing up to challenge Yogi Adityanath, the big-
gest champion of Hindutva in BJP. Sarma is consid-
ered very close to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Sarma often makes headlines by making strange
statements. During Rahul Gandhi’s visit, he compared
Rahul Gandhi’s face with Saddam Hussain regarding
his grown beard, then he was also challenged by the
Congress not to violate the decorum of language.
If sources are to be believed, the top leadership of
BJP is gradually raising him as the new champion
of Hindutva as an option of Yogi so that he can
prominently occupy a place among
the leaders of the second line of
the party. On the other hand,
Yogi Adityanath is one of the
most sought after leaders for
his election meetings, be it
Karnataka or Kerala, North East
or Odisha, even in Modi-Shah’s
home state of Gujarat. Perhaps
this thing is bringing stress on the
foreheads of the top leadership
of the party. So, efforts are
on to project Sarma as an
alternative to Yogi.
WHICH TWO ‘JOURNALISTS’ DID
RAHUL GANDHI CHOOSE?
I
n his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ instead of giving interviews
to eminent journalists or TV anchors, Rahul Gandhi
openly shared his heart with two YouTubers. One of
them is Shyam Meera Singh, who made a programme
by researching on Adani Group’s un-
expected fl ight and Pulwama. The
other is Samdish Bhatia, who
humorously interviews Rahul
for his channel ‘Unfi ltered by
Samdish’, walks with him on
the yatra. Yogendra Yadav and
Kanhaiya Kumar are believed
to have played an important
role in arranging these two
interviews. It is believed that
Kanhaiya Kumar is going to get
the fruits of his hard work soon,
as he can be the new President
of Bihar Pradesh Congress
Committee. Yogendra Yadav
can also get some impor-
tant responsibility in the
organisation.
BHARAT JODO YATRA WILL BE
HISTORIC, ASSERTS DOTASRA
CONGRESS LEADERS REVIEW YATRA PREPARATIONS IN KOTA
lThe Yatra will enter Jhalawar from Madhya
Pradesh on December 4, the PCC Chief sayslReviewing preps of the Yatra in Jhalawar, he

enter Jhalawar from
Madhya Pradesh in the
first week of December.
The party leaders visit-
ed the route of the
Yatra. They also re-
viewed arrangements
in Sports Complex in
Jhalawar.
Dotasra along with
Ministers reached
Chawli area from Cir-
cuit House. They in-
spected the MP border
& Sports Complex in
Jhalawar city, where
they reviewed the ar-
rangements for night
stay. Bharat Jodo Yatra
in Rajasthan will cover
a distance of 570 kms.
In Jhalawar district, a
journey of 80 kilome-
ters will be covered in
two days.
“This journey will be
historic,” he said. “Till
now the journey of 2000
kms has been complet-
ed. During this, the
yatra has received a his-
toric welcome,” he said.
Targeting the Central
Government, he said
that the Centre has
failed to deal with ris-
ing inflation, unem-
ployment and deterio-
rating harmony. “In
such a situation, Rahul
Gandhi is working hard
to maintain brother-
hood among the peo-
ple,” he added.

Curiosity rises regarding Thakur
& CS Usha Sharma's meeting!
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Recently Un-
ion I&B Minister Anu-
rag Thakur was in
Jaipur to attend a pro-
gramme. During his
visit, the Minister also
met Chief Secretary
Usha Sharma and the
meet has grabbed the
eye- balls of the bu-
reaucratic and politi-
cal sphere of Rajasthan
and everyone is ques-
tioning as to what hap-
pened during the hour-
long conversation be-
tween the two?
The meeting was held
at Hotel Marriott from
10.30 to 11.30 pm as a
large number of people
had come to meet Anu-
rag Thakur on this day
and the Union Minister
kept meeting all the
people till 1:30 am!
Gehlot addresses...
Many people lost their
lives in Morbi, but even
a probe wasn’t done. HC
reprimanded govern-
ment & provided com-
pensation. Govt should
have conducted a judi-
cial inquiry. 70 people
died of spurious alco-
hol, but no one cared,”
he said. Targeting the
Centre, he said, “For
the 1st time in nation
entire govt has been
changed (in Gujarat).
Small industries came
to a standstill due to de-
monetisation. “Promis-
es will be kept in Guja-
rat if voted to power.”
FROM PG 1
Jaipur (PTI): Sr Cong
leader & RS MP from
Raj Randeep Surjewala
has de-
manded
from Union
Minister for

Mansukh Mandaviya to
ensure adequate supply
of urea for farmers. He
wrote to Min saying
that Raj was allocated
4.50L metric tonnes of
urea for Oct in Rabi sea-
son, but only 2.89L met-
ric tonnes was supplied.

INEQUALITY IS THE ROOT INEQUALITY IS THE ROOT
SOCIAL EVIL!SOCIAL EVIL!
OF
ecently a report on in-
equality in the world
has been released by
the global organisa-
tion United Nations
Research Institute for
Social Development
(UNRISD). Pointing to the dire
consequences of inequality in
this, it has been emphasized to
create a new eco-social system.
This report, released in Octo-
ber 2022, points to the growing
inequality characteristic of
the world. This report comes
almost two years after the pan-
demic. In this era, the global
economy has been hit, which
for the first time in several
decades has pushed the whole
world into extreme poverty.
The report says that with the
rise of democracy, economic
liberalization and free mar-
kets, there has been a wide dis-
parity in both income and
wealth. The situation today is
the same as it was at the height
of Western imperialism in the
early 20th century. In many
countries, the situation is even
worse.
The report suggests that
while the gap in basic living
standards is narrowing for
hundreds of millions of peo-
ple, their needs to thrive in life
are also changing. In the cur-
rent era, new types of inequal-
ities are taking root, mainly
arising out of education, tech-
nology and climate change. If
these ground-shaking changes
are not stopped in time, the
risk of spreading a giant rift
that the world has not seen
since the Industrial Revolu-
tion will increase. According
to the report, people are taking
to the streets due to many rea-
sons. Ticket prices, petrol pric-
es, demands for political free-
dom, fairness and justice, etc.
This is a new face of inequal-
ity and inequality is not be-
yond solutions.
According to the report, the
Human Development Index
(HDI) has seen impressive pro-
gress since 1990 and has ben-
efited all sectors, including
the least developed countries.
The fastest economic growth
was seen from 2000 to 2010, but
since then this pace has slowed
down. From 1990 to 2018, many
countries performed well in
terms of human development.
The number of countries with
high human development has
increased from 12 to 62, while
the number of countries with
low human development has
decreased from 62 to 36. The
report clarified that the chal-
lenge of inequality is not be-
yond the solution and can be
dealt with, but bringing ine-
quality under control will not
be easy if the current pattern
continues.
The report says that unequal
distribution in education,
health and standard of living
affects the progress of the
country. Several suggestions
have been made in the report
to improve the situation and
deal with the growing problem
of inequality. According to the
report, inequality starts right
from the time of birth. The gap
between education and health
intensifies and can continue
until adulthood, so efforts and
policies to ameliorate the situ-
ation must begin before or
even before birth, with a focus
on children’s education, health
and well-being. Be nourished.
Such investments should be
continued especially at that
stage of a person’s life when
they are making money in the
labor market. Policies just to
increase the productivity of
workers are not enough and
other policies including anti-
trust have to be focused on to
overcome the imbalance in
the market.
The report also suggested
that the tax should be part of
a broader policy system, in-
cluding public spending on
health and education, and ex-
ploring alternatives to carbon-
based lifestyles. The report
underscores the importance
of new international tax prin-
ciples to ensure equity and
avoids the race to lower corpo-
rate tax rates. The report says
that average figures often do
not accurately reflect the
truth. Furthermore, effective-
ly tackling inequality requires
detailed information, espe-
cially to combat the various
dimensions of poverty and
help those left behind.
The report claimed that the
nature of inequalities could
change in the future and that
the climate crisis could be a
major reason for this. Carbon
pricing policies can be mis-
managed, but revenues from
carbon pricing, if used for the
benefit of taxpayers as part of
a social policy package, will
help reduce inequality. Renew-
able energy, energy efficiency,
digital finance and health so-
lutions demonstrate how new
technologies and opportuni-
ties can be used to broadly im-
prove living standards.
According to the report, deep
inequalities emerged even be-
fore the technological revolu-
tions and now a similar picture
is emerging with artificial intel-
ligence and digital technolo-
gies. In such a situation, the
need for social protection must
be emphasized, which will re-
quire international consensus
on ensuring fair compensation,
investing in lifelong learning
and taxing digital activities.
This will help in building a new,
secure and stable digital econo-
my, which will pave the way for
human development. The re-
port also indicates that if steps
are not taken in this direction
soon, then the situation will be
very dire in the coming times
and it will become difficult to
deal with them.

times the situation will become very serious and
it will become difficult to deal with them.

INEQUALITY IS THE ROOT INEQUALITY IS THE ROOT
SOCIAL EVIL!SOCIAL EVIL!
OF
ecently a report on in-
equality in the world
has been released by
the global organisa-
tion United Nations
Research Institute for
Social Development
(UNRISD). Pointing to the dire
consequences of inequality in
this, it has been emphasized to
create a new eco-social system.
This report, released in Octo-
ber 2022, points to the growing
inequality characteristic of
the world. This report comes
almost two years after the pan-
demic. In this era, the global
economy has been hit, which
for the first time in several
decades has pushed the whole
world into extreme poverty.
The report says that with the
rise of democracy, economic
liberalization and free mar-
kets, there has been a wide dis-
parity in both income and
wealth. The situation today is
the same as it was at the height
of Western imperialism in the
early 20th century. In many
countries, the situation is even
worse.
The report suggests that
while the gap in basic living
standards is narrowing for
hundreds of millions of peo-
ple, their needs to thrive in life
are also changing. In the cur-
rent era, new types of inequal-
ities are taking root, mainly
arising out of education, tech-
nology and climate change. If
these ground-shaking changes
are not stopped in time, the
risk of spreading a giant rift
that the world has not seen
since the Industrial Revolu-
tion will increase. According
to the report, people are taking
to the streets due to many rea-
sons. Ticket prices, petrol pric-
es, demands for political free-
dom, fairness and justice, etc.
This is a new face of inequal-
ity and inequality is not be-
