The weather bureau on Wednesday declared the onset of the monsoon over Kerala -- the rain-bearing system’s first port of call on the Indian mainland -- which marks the be-ginning of a widely antic-ipated wet season. It has been raining in Kerala for the past two days but the Met declares the mon-soon’s arrival only when the rains fulfill a raft of meteorological param-eters. “All these criteria have been met,” a Met de-partment official in Kerala said over the phone.

then ‘I will be first to do so,’” Rai said. Asked if Ambedkar’s role was then a myth, Rai replied, “Yes, myth hai, myth hai, myth hai (yes, it is a myth, it is a myth, it is a myth). It is part of identity politics.” Rai immediately came under attack with BJP’s Scheduled Caste Morcha chief Dushyant Kumar

Gautam condemning the controversial comments, saying they amount-ed to insulting Ambed-kar and are a hurdle in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Dalit outreach. When contacted, Rai de-nied giving any such in-terview, claiming it was a “breach of journalistic ethics”. Attacking Rai, Gautam said, Those who are saying so are doing it without any thinking and it seems they have some malice and enmi-ty against the Scheduled Castes and the concept of social justice. This is the reason otherwise such statements would not have been made.

The onset of the monsoon will bring cheer to the gov-ernment and millions of farmers alike in a country battling a severe drought. The rains are vital because 49% of Indians depend on a farm-based income and nearly 60% of the coun-try’s arable land doesn’t have irrigation facilities. Over the past 48 hours in

Kerala, at least eight des-ignated places received rainfall of 2.5 mm or more, a key criterion for the monsoon to be offi-cially declared as active. Other parameters such as wind conditions, the monsoon’s location and levels of infrared energy bouncing backing from the Earth’s surface are within the range required for the monsoon’s onset, an official said.

So between now and then the announcement will come.” “My long term desire is to go back to ac-ademia for teaching, for research and for thinking. This would be my best destination,” he added. On BJP MP Subrama-nian Swamy’s comment that he is “mentally not fully Indian”, Rajan said, “there are certain allega-tions which are funda-mentally wrong and base-less and addressing them would amount to giving them legitimacy.”

QUOTE OF THE

DAYCutting out the censor, The board is out of step with the times

With Udta Punjab, India’s tryst with censorship has reached a point where artistic and creative freedoms have to pass muster with both official and unofficial moral policing. The implications of this are far-reach-ing. The message that will go down to filmmakers, playwrights, artists, writers, and even ordinary citizens is that every word uttered, every sentence written, every scene painted, every film that is canned, or every book that is published, must be accompanied with extreme circumspection. Caution is, arguably, a reasonable at-titude, but where free expression becomes hostage to fear, we have much to worry about. Today, filmmakers are complaining that movies cannot be made by antic-ipating what the censor board would ultimately clear. We also have the unofficial censors — religious, cultur-al and political groups — who take offence to creative expression, and prevent film screenings, vandalise art exhibitions, and issue physical and verbal threats. If, tomorrow, artists decide to shelve projects for fear of tripping under the censor’s subjective, and shifting, standards, the culprit is the political leadership. The ground has shifted from the fundamental right to free speech to the enforcement of the reasonable restric-tions on free speech, both sanctioned by the Consti-tution. After the regional office of the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) sought 89 cuts in Udta Punjab, the revision committee has now reportedly sought that the “Punjab” in the title and all references to the state must be removed. For a film that claims to have realistically depicted Punjab’s drug problem, the charge that it will misguide young and impressionable minds is a strange and laughable proposition. Under Pahlaj Nihalani, the CBFC has taken upon itself the job of enforcing a social morality that attempts to arrest the onward drift towards greater political and cultural liberalism. With the internet emerging as the primary source of media distribution and with no scope for cen-soring internet content, such attempts at censorship are merely symbolic. With elections around the corner in Punjab, there is little doubt that political imperatives have governed the censoring of the film. It is no sur-prise that the Akali Dal has been vociferously protest-ing against the film, while its opponents, the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, back the film’s release. The film’s co-producer, Anurag Kashyap, has not minced words by taking on the political establishment and the censor board. He said that those opposed to the film are “actually guilty of promoting drugs”, and equated the censor board’s dictatorial and oligarchic actions to the North Korean state.

“Pahlaj Nihlani’s statement makes it amply clear that he has stopped the film on BJP’s instructions, What else could one expect under Modi regime.” - delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s tweeted statement came after

the CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani claimed that he has heard co-producer of udta Punjab - Anurag Kashyap - took money from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

‘Sairat’ helmer Nagraj Manjule forced ex-wife to abort

Agency | New Delhi

Film-maker Nagraj Man-jule, who became talk of the town following the phenomenal success of his Marathi film ‘Sairat,’ recently came under neg-ative light with his for-mer wife Sunita’s shock-ing revelations. While the director has branded himself as a socially-sen-sitive person in several interviews, his former wife has a different sto-ry to tell, reports Quint. In an interview, while describing a marital life filled with strife, abuse,

and most of all, neglect and abandonment, she claimed that the direc-tor’s family once locked up her up in a room when they were going to New Delhi. Reportedly, she was married to the direc-tor when he was study-ing in the 12th standard and went to live with his family in Solapur. High-lighting her plight even further, Sunita added that following these develop-ments she was forced to undergo a few abortions and even work as a maid in different houses in or-der to earn her livelihood.

Despite a long Test season ahead, Rahul said his sole aim is to do well in the ODIs in Zim-babwe. “I’m not going to worry about Test matches. This is my first ODI se-ries with the Indian team, so I will focus on doing well there and figure out how I will be successful in

Zimbabwe. It will be defi-nitely challenging for the opening batsman and it’s a responsibility that I have enjoyed to go out there and give a solid start to my team,” he said. Rahul said he has always believed in sticking to the basics and would be doing just that in Zimbabwe, much like he did during the IPL. I did not have time to pre-pare for this IPL because I was coming back from an injury.

I am pleased to announce that we have agreed with Cricket Australia to pro-ceed with this fixture,” CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat said in a statement on Wednesday. “Our Proteas were initial-ly hesitant to play such a key test match without previous experience and adequate preparation but after working through all their concerns and the possible options to pre-pare sufficiently, there is new-found excitement for this novel test match.” South Africa captain AB de Villiers added that the major concern for the players was having ade-quate preparation with a pink ball.

then there are moments, when you are cursed. There have been major burning issues regarding team selection and cap-taincy in Indian cricket before as well. One can easily refer to the Sourav Ganguly-Greg Chappel tiff or to the time when Yuvraj Singh was not selected for the Indian World Cup squad back in 2015. Yuvraj was play-

er-of-the-tournament in the 2011 World Cup and scored three consecu-tive first-class centuries against Haryana, Maha-rashtra and Saurashtra weeks before the 2015 World Cup squad was announced. Yet, that did not earn him a place in the squad. But, neither can match up to the hype the Kohli-Dhoni captain-cy issue is creating.

BJP leader Ram Mad-hav said that the Con-gress promotes just one “surname” and ignores the contribution of other leaders in the party, and hence, it is continuing to lose power in one state after another. Asked about the resignations of two senior Congress leaders Gurudas Kamat and Ajit Jogi, Madhav said that as a BJP mem-ber, he cannot comment on internal affairs of the Opposition party. “How-ever, in my individual

capacity, I criticise the Congress which con-siders only those with a particular surname (a reference to Gandhis) as their leader and does not recognise the contribu-tion of other leaders in the party.” Congress has received severe drubbing in 2014 Lok Sabha polls. The BJP General Secre-tary said that the party is losing power in one state after another because of this. He talked to the reporters during a brief halt at Harni airport on the way to Mehsana city in North Gujarat.

As part of the relief effort, the government had announced to pay Rs 25 maintenance grant per cattle per day to non-gov-ernmental organisations (NGOs) which accom-modate cattle in camps. In all, the district admin-istration had recognised 162 such cattle camps. But during verification, government officers re-portedly found disparity in numbers of cattle that nine NGOs had claimed to be accommodating in their 21 camps and the

actual count of heads in the camps. Following this, the district collector derecognised these 21 camps. “We understand, the district has been hit by scarcity and therefore, we can be lenient. But there was disparity in the count of cattle head. The government approves grant on the number of cattle heads. This cannot be tolerated. Therefore, we have derecognised 21 camps where such irregu-larities were found,” said Kutch collector Mukul Gandhi said on Tuesday.
