The National Investiga-tion Agency (NIA) has arrested two persons for allegedly helping Paki-stani terrorist Mohammad Naveed after he infiltrated into India, police sources said on Saturday, as in-vestigators widened their probe into the ambush on a BSF convoy last week. The NIA also brought Naveed, 22, to Srinagar to establish the route he took to reach Udhampur, where he and one of his accomplices targeted a BSF convoy and killed two security men. While Naveed was captured, his accomplice was gunned down by BSF personnel. Police sources said that one of the two people arrested in South Kash-mir is a driver identified as Javaid Ahmed Parray, who allegedly let Naveed stay at this house in Chur-soo Awantipora and fer-ried him to the spot on the Jammu-Srinagar highway where the ambush took

QUOTE OF THE

DAYSuperpower’s superbombSeventy years after the United States waged what to this day remains the only instance of nuclear warfare in history, Americans persist in subscrib-ing to the view that the atomic bombings of Hi-roshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, whatever the moral perils of such an undertaking, were jus-tified by exceptional circumstances. It is taken as an unimpeachable fact that the nuclear attacks on the two Japanese cities saved lives; on this argu-ment, the invasion of Japan would have energised its fanatic residents to a renewed defence of their country, and the war might have stretched out for several more months, or even longer. The propo-nents of this view have advanced an apparently noble kind of moral calculus, whereby the atomic bombings not only saved American lives but the lives of their very antagonists, since a protract-ed war would have decimated what remained of young Japanese men. If this argument be stretched a bit further, the US was animated not merely by the desire to preserve the lives of its own youth but by reverence for all human life. Further, Ja-pan’s unconditional surrender, which the US had insisted on as the condition for bringing hostili-ties to an end, is described by those who justify the bombing as having been wholly precipitated by the picture of utter devastation unleashed upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An obdurate country, slavishly holding itself in subjection to the writ of the emperor, had no other recourse. It is also characteristic of the US that, on every anniversary of the bombing, a supposed “debate” is thought to take place among Americans vigorously argu-ing in support of, or in opposition to, the atomic bombings. Certainly, some arguments resonate more strongly now than they did in 1945 or in the years immediately thereafter. The end of the war had brought forth a new adversary in the Sovi-et Union, one reason among others why German war criminals tried at Nuremberg were, barring the first set of some 20-odd Nazis who had oc-cupied the highest positions in the Third Reich, handed down insignificant prison terms when they were not simply acquitted. If a demonstration had to be furnished to Stalin of the immense and un-matched military prowess of the US, nothing was calculated to achieve that effect as much as a new super-bomb that was immeasurably greater than anything witnessed thus far. If war-time rape of enemy women is merely the way in which rapists convey messages to enemy men, the nuked cit-ies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by this reckoning, were intended to show to an emergent world pow-er under the dictatorship of Stalin the probable consequences of embracing the enmity of the US.

After winning million of hearts in India, Bol-lywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is out there to win overseas admir-ers. This time he has im-pressed renowned author Paulo Coelho. Brazilian novelist Coelho, known for his bestseller The Al-chemist, has hailed Shah Rukh Khan’s 2010 drama My Name Is Khan as the best film he has watched this year. The film, also starring actress Kajol, centres around a Muslim man (Shah Rukh) from India with Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of au-

‘Srimanthudu’ review: Mahesh Babu shines in the film despite a predictable plot

Agency | Chennai

Like Albert Camus’s pro-tagonist in ‘The Outsider’, Harsha (Mahesh Babu) doesn’t quite understand himself in ‘Srimanthu-du’. Forthrightly he tells his father that he’d like to earn some respect which means he’s not interest-ed in what his family has earned in terms of wealth / stature. In wanting to capture the role of an out-sider, Mahesh stands with his hands hanging in the air most of the time, and

unbeknownst to himself, wears a smile. He’s also a true Superstar when it comes to the way he car-ries himself; be it a suit or a lungi, he knows what works. A chance meeting with Charuseela (Shruti Haasan) makes him ac-cept himself and urges him to go to Devarako-ta, a village ruled by a bunch of goons. One of the bosses happens to be a khadi-clad politician or-dering his men from New Delhi to look after the burgeoning empire. Just

before the appearance of the interval board on the screen, everything falls into place. I knew what Harsha would achieve by the end of the film, I knew the fate of Mukesh Rishi and Sampath Raj (the money-eyed broth-ers who unhesitatingly bury whistleblowers); still I was sure that Ko-ratala Siva wouldn’t al-low mediocrity seep into the narrative.

Next year I will be hope-fully shooting five films. ‘Kick’ has taken me where I had wished to be.. It is because ‘Kick’ happened, I got the op-portunity to work every day,” she said. ‘Kick’ producer Sajid Nadiad-wala and Salman would be teaming up again for the sequel ‘Kick 2’ but without Jacqueline. “I would miss being part of ‘Kick 2’. But the great part is I was part of the first project and no one can take that away from me,” the 29-year-old actress said.

India A would look to get their act right in all departments of the game and open their account when they lock horns with South Africa A in the home team’s second tri-series cricket match on Sunday. Playing their first match of the series on Friday, India A were soundly thrashed by Aus-tralia A at the MA Chid-ambaram Stadium. The 119-run defeat notwith-standing, coach Rahul Dravid is confident of a turnaround. But for that to happen, the Indians will have to execute their

plans better. The Indian medium pacers -- Dhaw-al Kulkarini and Sandeep Sharma -- did not give enough width to the Aus-tralian opening batsmen Usman Khawaja and Joe Burns initially but, as they settled down, the two batsmen carted the bowlers, especially the spinners, to hit 15 sixes in the innings while put-ting on 239 runs. At the net sessions on Saturday, Dravid was seen spend-ing a lot of time with the players and urged the bowlers to bowl wick-et to wicket. With the pitch playing slow, his

message to the batsmen was to play a little late and stick around in the middle. Unlike the game against the Australians, it will be vital for the Indian batsmen to build partner-ships in order to put up a big total. While skip-per Unmukt Chand and Kedar Jadhav posted 50-plus scores, others like Mayank Agarwal, Man-ish Tiwary and Karun Nair failed to impress getting out for low scores against Australia A. They will have to come up with an improved performance against the Proteas on Sunday.

We want to ensure 100 per cent turnout. This is the reason we have enact-ed a law. To bring about the law, we had passed the Bill way back in 2009.
