Gold prices recovered by Rs 100 to settle at Rs 27,250 at the bullion market today on fresh buying by jewellers to meet seasonal demand even as the yellow metal weakened over-seas. Silver also edged up by 60 to Rs 37,300 per kg on pick up in demand from industri-al units and coin mak-ers. Traders said fresh buying by jewellers to meet the festive and wedding season de-mand mainly support-ed the recovery in the precious metals prices but a weak trend over-seas capped the rise.

The Saurashtra Cricket As-sociation (SCA) Stadium in Khandheri, the venue for the third One-day In-ternational between India and South Africa, has be-come a political platform for different outfits to flex their muscle. After Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) chief Hardik Pa-tel’s threat to disrupt Sun-day’s match, it has now been alleged that members of the BJP have procured close to 20,000 tickets to negate Patel’s imminent threat. The stadium has an official seating capacity of 28,000. The BJP members, according to sources, will enter the stadium wear-ing T-shirts that will have Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image imprinted on them. Though Saurash-tra Cricket Association secretary Niranjan Shah dismissed all such talk as “mere speculation”, he failed to give an exact fig-ure of how many tickets were sold or made avail-able to the public. “Like in the past we have followed all the procedures.

The first and only ODI at the venue was played in 2009 between India and England in 2013 while the only T20I was played between India and Australia later the same year.4) In the only ODI played at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, England defeated hosts by nine runs.

cricket administrator, said. There was trouble reported on Friday morning when an angry mob ransacked the barricades and burnt banners after they found all ticket windows shut at Race Course Ground. This, after sources at the SCA said that they had sold close to 4,500 tick-ets till Thursday evening. Hardik, making his inten-tion clear, accused the BJP of playing politics over a cricket match. He sent a WhatsApp message from

his personal number, ask-ing SCA to “clarify on why they declared that all tick-ets are sold in spite of the fact that many tickets yet

remain unsold.” He added: “PAAS will block the way of both the teams (of India and South Africa) to the stadium (on the match day)

and we will also cordon the entire stadium.” Hardik, who is agitating to get res-ervation for Patel commu-nity under Other backward Class (OBC) quota, said, “The (BJP) government

was saying till now that the match should not be turned into an agitation venue, but now this government is itself playing politics over the match,” he said. Unprecedented security

arrangements have been made for the match day. In all, 2,100 policemen will be positioned at the SCA Stadium, which is double the numbers usually de-ployed in ODI security.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPM Modi’s military diplomacyIndia’s simultaneous military exercises this week with the United States and Japan on the one hand and China on the other have drawn some attention. Some analysts view them as India’s delicate military balancing act between Asia’s competing great pow-ers. Others see it as the contemporary expression of India’s enduring tradition of non-alignment. Neither interpretation sounds right. It is probably a mere coincidence that the naval exercises in the Bay of Bengal between India, Japan and the United States and the counter terrorism exercises in the Yunnan province between the Indian and Chinese armies are taking place at the same time. A lot of factors go into scheduling these kinds of exercises. The Min-istry of Defence in Delhi does not have the time, inclination or the capacity to time them for some presumed political effect. In contrast, the argument that the simultaneous exercises are an expression of non-alignment seems a lot more credible. Yet, it is difficult to visualize India’s engagement with the U.S. and China in terms of non-alignment. During the Cold War, India’s non-alignment dealt with two rival great powers —U.S. and Soviet Russia — that did not share any frontiers with India. China, in con-trast, has a long and disputed border with India. Be-sides the challenge on the border, Delhi feels threat-ened by Beijing’s ties with Pakistan and other South Asian neighbours of India. That Beijing and Wash-ington affect India’s security calculus differently is borne out by one simple fact. China sits on territory claimed by India; America does not. To be sure, In-dia continues to be concerned about U.S. ties with Pakistan; but over the last decade Delhi has seen the evolution of a more balanced U.S. approach to India and Pakistan. China, however, remains reluctant to take into account India’s concerns about Pakistan. Some in Delhi see that partnership with America is critical in balancing China’s rapidly rising military power. Beijing’s challenge to U.S. primacy in Asia has complemented this view and formed the basis for a complex dynamic between Delhi, Beijing and Washington. The UPA government was afraid that drawing too close to the U.S. and Japan might pro-voke China. Because of the problems on the bound-ary, the UPA government was also reluctant to wid-en the engagement with Beijing. Modi, in contrast, is not defensive at all. The PM seems to believe that a stronger security partnership with America will enhance India’s national power expand its room for geopolitical manoeuvre with China. At the same time, Modi is also eager to broaden economic ties with Bei-jing and better manage the conflict on the border.

Gunasekhar’s bilingual historical costume dra-ma in Tamil and Telugu, Rudhramadevi, certain-ly captures the spirit and valour of the 13th centu-ry queen who ruled Ka-katiya, a small kingdom in what is today Andhra Pradesh. But her corona-tion was not smooth, for her father and king had to hide for many years the fact that his child and heir to the throne was not a

son. In times when people were averse to a queen as head, and with many de-tractors to the kingdom waiting to grab it, a clever prime minister, Shiva De-viah (played by Prakash Raj with admirable ease and dignity), helps Rudh-ramadevi ( Anushka Shetty, who for long dis-guises as a boy/man and calls herself Rudhradeva) through wily statecraft to retain her hold over the kingdom. Rudhramadevi -- whose Telugu ver-

Experts have raised concerns over the imple-mentation of telecom regulator Trai’s new rules regarding the compensation to consumers for call drops. Under the rule, mobile users will get a compensation of Re 1 for every dropped call from January 1 but it will be limited to a maxi-mum three dropped calls in a day. However, the compensation will be given only if the call drop takes place due to the calling party’s network and not because of the receiving operator’s network. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has said that telecom operators from whose net-work call is originated will have to compensate customer if the call gets disconnected because of fault in its network. “If a call drop happens be-cause of the network, than compensation has to be given,” Trai Secretary Sudhir Gupta said.

Sri Lanka needed less than four days to thrash West Indies by an in-nings and six runs in the opening test at Galle on Saturday with Rangana Herath leading the victo-ry charge by claiming his fifth 10-wicket haul. The touring side were bundled out for 227 in their sec-ond innings in the after-noon session, after being asked to follow on by the hosts. Herath added three wickets to his previous day’s removal of opener Kraigg Brathwaite (34) after taking six wickets in the first innings. He finished with match fig-ures of 10-147. Debutant all-rounder Milinda Siri-wardana and paceman Dhammika Prasad picked up two wickets apiece in the second innings for Sri Lanka.

Ranji Trophy 2015: Dinesh Karthik sweeps away flaws, Mumbai

Agency | Mumbai

The best way to describe the relationship between Dinesh Karthik and the sweep-shot would prob-ably be, “it’s complicat-ed”. There are days on which the two look made for each other, when the diminutive right-hander is pulling it off with non-chalance, regardless of what length or line the ball is pitching on. And then there are other days where the two come across as strange bedfel-lows, especially when

Karthik has botched an uncalled for premedi-tated sweep and holed out in the deep or been bowled around his legs. Yet, somehow, through good times and bad, the two have stuck with each other. The sweep shot in many ways also defines Karthik’s enigmatic ca-reer. On days when he’s on song and showcas-ing his full repertoire of strokes, it’s generally the sweep that dominates the highlight reel. Like was the case at the BKC as he

scored a scintillating 167 to propel Tamil Nadu to 434 after a cagey start to their innings before the visitors reduced Mum-bai to 45/2, dismissing the in-form Shreyas Iyer, to finish Day Two in a dominant position. But at the same time, it is the sweep that he gets wrong — both in terms of tim-ing and execution — that show up his greatest fail-ure. Maybe Karthik could be justified if he were to say, “It’s not me. It’s the sweep-shot.”

England paceman James Anderson enlivened an otherwise dull first Test with two wickets to leave Pakistan struggling at 35-2 at lunch on the fifth and final day at Abu Dha-bi on Saturday. Anderson dismissed opener Shan Masood (one) and Shoaib Malik (nought) in the third over as Pakistan’s second innings started disastrous-ly on a weary Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch. Mohammad Hafeez (32) and Younis Khan (two) re-stored calm, but Pakistan still trailed by 40 after En-gland took a 75-run lead in the first innings. England announced closure of their first innings at 598-9 in reply to Pakistan’s 523-8 declared. That left the first Test heading for a tame draw, barring an extraordi-nary Pakistan collapse in

West Indies’ hopes of avoiding a heavy defeat rested on Darren Bravo (31), who scored a 50 in the first innings, but the left-hander edged Nuwan Pradeep behind after cap-tain Angelo Mathews’ de-

cision to allow the pace-man one more over was vindicated. Blackwood and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin (11) stitched to-gether a dogged 48-run stand for the sixth wicket before Siriwardena ended the pair’s resistance when Ramdin edged a catch to Kaushal Silva at second slip. The second match of the two-test series starts in Colombo on Thursday.

the second innings, which initially looked possible. Masood, who was bowled after a short delivery from Anderson deflected onto the stumps from the grill of his helmet in the first innings, played on to the same bowler. Malik, who scored a career best 245 in the first knock, lasted

three deliveries before Anderson’s bouncer sur-prised him as his evasive shot landed safely in Jon-ny Bairstow’s hands. You-nis also survived a shaky start, but Hafeez, fresh from his 98 in the first knock, hit four boundaries and a six to ease some of the pressure.

A lot of Pune’s fortunes lies with Gourmangi’s performance in keeping the defensive structure in-tact. The central defender

has an excellent range of passing, composure, tackles and interceptions. He will provide a stiff challenge for the ATK defenders. Borja Fernan-dez (ATK): The Spanish midfielder has stood tall and delivered in all of ATK’s games so far. Bor-ja showed his class and calmness in the centre of the pitch for ATK. That serves as a bonus for his manager and the added responsibility of leading the side looks to get out his best.

Patidar agitation leader Hardik Patel on Friday threatened to prevent India and South Africa teams from reaching the stadium for the ODI match in Rajkot. He alleged that the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) had sold tickets to BJP work-ers, who will protest during the match and then blame it on his commu-nity. The SCA said tick-ets sold were accounted for and documented. In a video message, shared on social media, Har-dik, convernor of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), alleged ‘irregu-larities’ in sale of tickets by the cricket association for the ODI match to be played on SCA Stadium in Khanderi village, on the outskirts of the city

this Sunday. “Saurash-tra Cricket Association should clarify why they declared that all tickets are sold in spite of the fact that many tickets re-main unsold. PAAS will block the way of both the teams (India and South Africa) to the stadium (on the match day) and we will also gherao the entire stadium,” said Hardik. PAAS is one of the groups leading the agitation by the Patidars or the Patel community in Gujarat demanding status of Other Backward Classes (OBC) and resul-tant reservation benefits in government jobs and admissions to institutes of higher education. The 22-year-old leader fur-ther alleged that SCA had sold tickets to BJP work-ers but his communi-ty-members were denied

They will create trouble during the match and later blame it on Patidars,” Hardik said in the video which was played by local TV news channels. His allegations

came hours after SCA closed its ticket windows at the Madhavrao Scindia Ground in Race Course on Friday afternoon. The SCA said that all the tick-ets had been sold. This irked cricket fans, who were standing in queue. They vented their anger by damaging barricades and hoardings.

the state in finding and bringing the culprits to justice. The stifling atmo-sphere of fear and uncer-tainty is fatal to the free-dom of expression that is at the heart of our shared lives, and it is for the res-toration of this common fabric that we urge you to intervene. “On behalf of the freethinking, cre-ative minds of India – indeed, on behalf of ev-ery citizen of India – we urge you, the guardian

of the Constitution of In-dia, to ensure that those who have infringed upon this founding document of the State with impu-nity, whether overtly or by silent complicity, be brought to justice,” they wrote. “Throttling the right to free thought and expression threatens the very existence of our plu-ral society. We demand your active intervention in protecting the basic freedom which is the right of all Indian citizens without discrimination by religion, caste, class or gender. We appeal to you to take firm and immedi-ate steps to combat this well-planned conspiracy to endanger Indian de-mocracy,” they further said.

Khambha Marketing yard polls: BJP loses all seats, Congress makes clean sweep

ing Yard are Patels, and BJP losing all 8 farmer seats is an indicative of its eroding support in the community. Khambha falls in Dhari Assembly segment, represented by MLA Nalin Kotadiya who recently called for a BJP boycott in the local body elections, throwing his weight behind the Pa-tidar agitation. Kotadiya was elected on a Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP) ticket in the 2012 state elections, but became a BJP MLA when GPP

merged with the nation-al party. BJP recently declared to have broken “all ties” with Kotadiya over his boycott call and other issues. BJP chief in Amreli Mansukhbhai Sukhadia, also the outgo-ing president of Kham-bha Marketing Yard, blamed infighting in the local unit for the party’s loss. “We lost because of disgruntled elements within BJP who helped Congress in the mar-keting yard polls,” said Sukhadia.

Indian Army are conduct-ing joint counterterrorism exercises in Kunming in southwestern China. Chi-na has been wary of joint maritime exercises by In-dia and the United States, especially when Beijing is involved in a host of dis-putes with Japan, South Korea and several of its Southeast Asian neigh-bors in the South China Sea. This year’s Malabar exercises are being held against the backdrop of expectations that the US might directly challenge Chinese claims in the South China Sea by sail-ing a navy ship inside the 12-nautical-mile (21km) territorial limit surround-ing an artificial island built by China.
