The Supreme Court on Saturday decided not to extend the deadline for phasing out diesel cabs in NCR and has asked for them to go off the roads from May 1. The earlier deadline for phasing out diesel cabs was April 1, but then it was later ex-tended. Now the apex court has refused to ex-tend the deadline, saying that enough extensions were given in the past. The earlier extension was given so that private cab aggregators could switch to CNG vehicles. From May 1, the diesel cabs will have to go off the roads. According to the court, all radio-based, app-based cabs are to switch to LNG by May 1.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWith political competition, reservation architecture expands

The Gujarat government’s decision to expand reser-vations to include the economically backward sec-tions among general castes will have a domino effect across the polity. It marks one more instance of how intense electoral competition, and intense competi-tion for government jobs, has led to a relentless ex-pansion of the architecture of affirmative action. For the past year, Gujarat’s Patels demanded either their inclusion as an Other Backward Class (OBC) group eligible for reservations or abolition of reservations altogether. The OBCs already benefiting from the sys-tem did not want to share the pie, and opposed their inclusion. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was in a fix. It could neither alienate the OBCs nor did it want to risk the wrath of the Patels. Losses in local elec-tions made the party even more apprehensive. And so it came up with a new formula. Expand reservations: non-Scheduled Caste (SC), non-Scheduled Tribe (ST), non-OBC families with annual incomes of less than Rs 6 lakh would now be eligible for 10% reserva-tions in government jobs and educational institutions. The legality of the decision is questionable, for res-ervations now exceed 50% cap set by the courts. But expect political consequences. India has witnessed a steady expansion of the framework of reservations. Originally meant only for SCs and STs to redress his-toric injustice, OBCs became eligible for reservation benefits. These were dominant rural castes, but did not have social assets which come with formal higher education and government employment. The num-ber of groups wanting to be listed as OBC, or even SC or ST, steadily increased over the years. Gujarat’s new decision now gives a tool to those who are in the ‘general category’ in other states to seek their own inclusion in the reservation framework. Caste groups like the World Brahman Federation have often spo-ken of making economic status the basis for quotas instead of caste. In states like Uttar Pradesh, headed for polls next year, do not be surprised if powerful upper castes – Brahmans and Thakurs – begin politi-cal mobilisation around the issue. The politics of the ‘general category’ is driven by two key impulses. The first is resentment and a sense of ‘victimhood’ about how they – the ‘meritorious’ – lose out. The second is changing the political economy. Young people are moving from rural agrarian economy to an urban set-ting; there aren’t enough jobs in the private sector and thus, a government job becomes a key aspiration. Res-ervation is a tool to enable it. But all of this has meant the original logic of reservations is now in question.

“The CBI, enforcement agencies and all those who matter are now under the control of the present Modi government. Action has been taken against the bribe givers, so now action should be taken against the bribe takers,”

There has been a lot of conver-sation about Baaghi being a copy of the blockbuster Indonesian action film The Raid: Redemption. Yes, the idea of the villain holed up in the top floor of a building echoes that film. But Baaghi’s ro-mantic track comes from

Today’s Google Doodle honours the ‘father of information theory’ – Claude Shannon. It would have been his hundredth birthday today. Born on this day in 1916, Shannon was an American math-ematician, electrical engineer and cryptographer. Shannon was best known for having founded the information theory in a landmark paper he pub-lished in 1948. He is equally famous for founding the digital computer and digital circuit design the-ory in 1937, as a 21 year old student pursuing his master’s degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Shannon also contributed to the field of cryptanalysis for national defense during World War II, including his basic work on code-breaking and secure telecommunications. The Google Doo-dle blog says that for fun, he tinkered with electron-ic switches, and one of his inventions–an electrome-chanic mouse he called Theseus–could teach itself to navigate a maze. “If you’re thinking, “wait, that sounds a lot like artificial intelligence,” you’re right. He regularly brushed shoulders with Einstein and Alan Turing, and his work in electronic communi-cations and signal processing–the stuff that earned him the moniker “the father of information theo-ry”–led to revolutionary changes in the storage and transmission of data,” explains the blog.

When Vijender Singh steps into the Copper Box Arena in London for his fifth professional fight against Matiouze Royer of France on Sat-urday, life would have come a full circle for him. It was in this are-na that the boxer last represented India at the Olympics, losing in the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Games. Four years on, the 30-year-old is gearing up to fight in that ring again, albeit

as a professional. “So many happy memories,” Vijender told dna from London on Friday. “I still remember walking into the arena with the India flag as an amateur. And now, I’ll be fighting as a professional. So yes, life has indeed come a full circle for me.” Fight-ing for the first time as a pro in London, Vijender is making sure he does the same things lead-ing up to the fight that he did during the 2012 Olympics. “In fact, I’m living in the same hotel

that I stayed in during the London Olympics,” he said. “It is near the arena. All the malls that I visited during the Games, I went there again this time. So, it feels nice when you rec-ollect your old days and come back to the same place.” Sportspersons often have their favou-rite venues, one where they tend to step up their game. For Vijender, though, it’s the crowd that gets his juices flow-ing more than the box-ing arena.

No one knows what England did to tackle Johnson, but the tearaway Austra-lian pacer proved devas-tating. It was Tendulkar who had picked Mitchell Starc as the one to watch out for, ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. And it was Tendulkar who picked out two young In-

dian batsmen in particular — Rohit Sharma and Vi-rat Kohli — to carry the baton of the Indian batting forward and even break his records as he walked away from the game about three years ago. While Kohli has embarked into the journey of ending up as a cricketing great, the right-hander Rohit, who hails from Tendulkar’s hometown Mumbai, has only been able to cement his place in the Indian lim-ited-overs sides.

The World No 8 Indian started on a de-cent note, making it 9-6 before the World No 6 Chinese equalised 10-all. Then Yihan upped the ante with a dominant per-formance. Four points at a stretch meant it was 14-10 and after Saina took a point, another two quick points for Yihan made it 16-11. Thereafter, Yihan piled further pressure on the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist before taking the game 21-16.



Two litigants from Bha-ruch district lost Rs 1 lakh for questioning a com-pensation of over Rs 100 crore to a Parsi family by the state government for acquiring the fami-ly’s land. The high court, which doubted the bona-fide of petitioners Kanak-sinh Parmar and Jayan-tibhai Bamaniya and asked them to deposit Rs 1 lakh to proceed ahead with their PIL, ordered to confiscate the amount for filing a PIL to overreach earlier court orders.


Amid demands of CBI inquiry by the relatives of slain constable Chan-drakant Makwana, Joint Commissioner of Police and acting CP JK Bhatt said they will write to the DGP to hand over the probe to any state agency for an independent probe. “We have nothing to hide and if the relatives of Makwana feel that crime

branch should not probe the case, they are ready to hand over the inqui-ry,” Bhatt said this while addressing media. It is noteworthy that consta-ble Makwana was brutal-ly murdered in the crime branch premises by a sus-pect Manish Balai of Ra-jasthan, who was picked up on the suspicion of being involved in a drug racket. Later Makwana’s

brother Manish raised certain questions about the manner in which his brother was murdered by Balai with an iron rod in the high security crime branch premises. “There is no way one can escape from the heavily guarded premises. There is some-thing fishy about the mur-der and the truth will only surface if CBI probes the case” added Manish.


Opposing in-charge Gu-jarat DGP P P Pandey’s application for permis-sion from a special CBI court to go abroad for two months, the probe agency on Friday said if his plea was allowed, it would “delay the tri-al” in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case. Pandey, chargesheeted in the en-counter case, is current-ly on bail. In a five-page reply filed before special judge S J Raje, Inspector Vishwas Kumar Meena stated, “Allowing the ap-plicant to remain away for such a long period may delay the trial which would also hamper the case of the prosecution.”


A section of legal experts today was of the view that Gujarat government’s decision to give 10 per cent reservation to the Economically Backward Classes (EBCs) would not stand the current le-gal test though some felt it can survive if the apex court were to reconsider its 1992 judgement. Se-nior advocate Girish Pa-tel said reservation can-not be granted purely on the ground of economic backwardness as it is not a criterion considered by the Constitution. Cit-ing the 1992 judgement of the Supreme Court in Indra Sawhney V/s the Union, Patel said the quo-ta also cannot exceed 50 per cent, and with 10 per


With the help of Colom-bo-based International Water Management In-stitute (IWMI), six Guja-rat farmers have formed world’s first solar power cooperative society to sell surplus power gen-erated from solar water pumps installed at their farms. After conducting a successful pilot proj-ect of connecting farmer with the grid at Anand district of Gujarat, IWMI has now assembled six farmers of Dhundi vil-lage in Kheda district for the society. Having been trained on use of solar water pump and how to earn from connecting sur-plus power from it to the grid, these farmers have come together to form a solar cooperative society named Dhundi Saur Urja Utpadak Sahakari Manda-li or Solar Pump Irrigators Cooperative Enterprise

(SPICE). The cooperative society has been regis-tered at Registrar of Coop-erative Society, Govern-ment of Gujarat. It is for the first time that someone has set up solar coopera-tive society. We show-cased our pilot project to these small farmers to help them understand that this could be a new mode of earning which eventu-ally led to formation of the society,Tushar Shah of IWM said. State discom Madhya Gujarat Vij Com-pany Limited (MGVCL) and Gujarat Energy Re-search and Management Institute (GERMI) are also supporting IWMI for this project. With the trial run of power supply to the grid being complet-ed, farmers have begun supplying surplus power from solar pumps on com-mercial basis to MGVCL at the rate of Rs 4.70 per unit.


Continuing on its focus towards micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the Gujarat government announced setting up of a separate MSME cell even as it looks to offer incentives to encourage the sector for further investment. Through its collaboration with the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Indus-try (GCCI), the state gov-ernment has identified seven sectors for inviting more investment from the MSMEs. The seven identified sectors include Forest and Environment, Energy, Food and Health, Revenue & Urban De-

The CBI said, “The pres-ence of accused appli-cant is required before this court during the framing of charge. Fur-ther, the applicant has not furnished the con-tact address and contact numbers of abroad, and the place/address where he would stay during the said period, the travel itinerary etc.” During the brief hearing, when the

The Constitution takes into ac-count the educational and social backwardness but not the economic con-dition, and therefore the state may lose in the court if the EBC quota is chal-

lenged, he said. “If you go by the economic con-dition, than entire country would become eligible for reservation. I believe res-ervation for EBC will not stand in the court of law, as it violates the SC ver-dict as well as the basic object of reservation as mentioned in the Consti-tution,” added Patel.
