QUOTE OF THE

DAYMarch 23: Bhagat Singh’s Nationalism on his 85th death anniversary

Bhagat Singh, who streaked like a meteor across the anti-colonial nationalist sky, was sent to the gallows on March 23, 1931 on charges of assassinating a Brit-ish police officer and throwing a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly in New Delhi. At the time of his execution, Bhagat Singh was only 24 — a young man with a utopian vision of a free India, whose sense of nationalism was very different from that associated with Lala Lajpat Rai, Mahatma Gandhi and other stal-warts of the freedom movement. Bhagat Singh, often referred to as the original “shaheed”, or martyr, has been differently interpreted and appropriated — and the image of a fearless young man with a neat mus-tache, wearing a hat at a jaunty tilt, is as ubiquitous as that of the dhoti-clad Mahatma and the more formally attired Babasaheb Ambedkar in the Indian collective memory. It’s instructive that while many competing visions of nationalism coexisted during the freedom struggle, the patriotism of the principal interlocutors was never doubted and they were all committed sons of a shackled Mother India — a sacred geography compositely envisioned, which had to be liberated. Ironically, on the 85th anniversary of Bhagat Singh’s execution, nationalism has become a bitterly contest-ed issue and reduced to an invalid litmus test over the slogan “Bharat Mata ki Jai”. Rank political opportun-ism, compounded by dangerous emotive posturing over alleged insults to the “nation”, has cascaded into legislative intimidation, wherein the aggrieved senti-ment of one constituency has trumped constitutional fidelity. Many aspects of Bhagat Singh’s life are rel-evant in the prevailing socio-political turbulence and these include his discomfiture over the rightwing Hin-du orientation of leaders like Lajpat Rai, his rejection of communal identity and personal commitment to atheism, and, above all, the commitment to revolution and rationality. A communicator par excellence, who valued the public platform and understood the pow-er of the pamphlet, Bhagat Singh’s writing and the lucidity of his advocacy is quite extraordinary for its time and his relative youth. If one were to identify one speech where all his ideals and objectives coalesce, it’s the October 1929 presidential address at the stu-dent’s conference in Lahore where he asserted: “If we are to bring about a revolution of ideas we have first to hold up before us an ideal which will galvanise our whole life. That ideal is freedom.” Or “azadi”. At a time when the word azadi has been bruised, battered and resurrected from zealous and occasionally mili-tant patriotism, starting with the JNU controversy, the Bhagat Singh elucidation merits objective reflection.

“I don’t want to comment on it. This is a meaningless controversy (‘yeh ek vyarth vivad hai’)”

- Amid a charged debate over patriotism and chanting of “Bharat Mata ki Jai”, BJP patriarch L K Ad-vani today said in Gandhinagar on sidelines of an event when asked for his comment on the issue.

Actor Aamir Khan’s 25 kilo weight gain for Dan-gal left people reeling last year but this year, at his birthday last week, he looked noticeably thinner and fitter.

At his heaviest, Aamir tipped the scale at

over 90 kilos and the mas-sive weight gain meant he has an embarrassment of riches where clothes are concerned. The actor will give away the clothes he doesn’t need to chari-ty.

Astronomers have observed the most luminous gal-axies ever seen in the universe – objects so bright that the researchers have taken to calling them ‘out-rageously luminous’. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the US said that es-tablished descriptors such as “ultra and hyper-lumi-nous” used to describe previously brightest known galaxies do not even come close to describing the newly discovered objects. “We’ve taken to calling them ‘outrageously luminous’ among ourselves because there is no scientific term to apply,” said undergraduate student Kevin Harrington, study’s lead author. Researchers used the 50-metre diame-ter Large Millimetre Telescope (LMT), the largest, most sensitive single-aperture instrument in the world for studying star formation.It is located on the summit of Sierra Negra, a 15,000-foot extinct volcano in the central state of Puebla, a companion peak to Mexico’s highest mountain.

Ending a days of specu-lation, Delhi on Wednes-day got the go ahead to host the World Twenty20 semifinal as scheduled on March 30 after the embattled DDCA got the requisite clearances to use the contentious R P Mehra Block at the Feroze Shah Kotla Stadi-um. The match had been thrown into jeopardy over lack of completion certificate for the block.

What was perceived as the best opportunity for India’s women to make a good fist out of the World T20 in home conditions looks destined to end on a sour note, as they were edged out by England in a low-scoring thriller, their second defeat in as many matches. After a dismal performance with the bat, their spinners fought hard to retrieve something out of the match, but the target of 91 was always going to be surpassed, which England accom-plished with some nerves.

India got everything they might have wished for to keep their semifinal hopes alive after a narrow defeat to Pakistan. The surface was to aid spinners as the match progressed and they won a vital toss, only for the batters to collapse mindlessly. The hosts lost V Vanitha in the third ball of the first over. With the addition of 15 more runs to the tally, fellow open-er Smriti Mandhana to perished. But the ever-re-liable Mithali Raj and Shikha Pandey combined to revive them with an alliance of 29 runs. That was as good as Indian

batters got in the match. In the space of five balls, both of them floundered. Shikha was brilliant-ly caught by Katherine Brunt at deep midwicket in an attempt to increase the tempo. Mithali, who was unusually rickety, swished one to backward point. In the next over Veda Krishnamurthy too exited as India teetered to 5 for 52. When Jhulan Goswami too was dis-missed, India’s semifinal hopes seemed as good as over. But with a few lusty blows Harmanpreet Kaur gave some respectability to the total.

Pakistan coach Waqar Younis has hit out at his batsmen for failing to ac-celerate after a blistering start that cost them the crucial World T20 match against New Zealand. Chasing 181, Ahmed She-hzad (30 off 32 balls) and Umar Akmal (24 off 26 balls) failed to capitalise on a good start provided by Sharjeel Khan (47 off 25 balls) to lose by 22 runs, which dampened Pakistan’s prospects of securing a last-four berth in the mega-event. “If you see, we didn’t move at all from the eighth to the 15th over (run-rate slowed down).

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on Tues-day said Virat Kohli is the key player for India in Wednesday’s World T20 clash, but his team can-not take other batsmen lightly either as they are all match-winners. Even though the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina have not been among the runs lately, Shakib said his team will not take any of the Indian batsman light-ly. “Obviously he (Kohli) is key player for India.

Indian Institute of Man-agement, Ahmedabad (IIMA), one of the top business schools in the country, today announced to increase the fees for its two year Post Graduate Programs (PGP) applica-ble from 2016-18 batch. A statement issued by the in-stitute today said, ‘ IIMA Board has approved the increase of fees for its two year post-graduate pro-grams to Rs 19.50 Lakh from Rs 18.50 Lakh. The enhanced fee is applicable from 2016-18 batch. The amount is cumulative fee for both years, including tuition, academic support (case materials, books, etc.), accommodation, basic health care, medi-cal insurance, and alumni association membership fee.’ Justifying the fee hike the statement further said, ‘IIMA fee increas-es have tended to lag in-flation rate over the past several years. Taking 2009

as base, even with the pro-posed increase, 2016-18 fee would be 10% lower in inflation adjusted terms compared to 2009-11 fee. Institute costs have been rising in step with infla-tion. Although we contin-ue to drive for efficiency, part of the cost increase is reflected in fee increase.’ “The Institute feels a mor-al commitment to ensure that all deserving candi-dates that are admitted to the two year post-graduate programs (PGP and PGP-FABM) avail of the pro-gram irrespective of their economic circumstances. Towards that objective, we are committed to continue offering deserving stu-dents the most generous scholarship scheme among management schools in India. For 2016-17, finan-cial aid is being offered to 251 PGP and PGP-FABM students, which is 29% of the total student strength,” the statement quoted Prof. Ashish Nanda, Director, IIMA as saying.

The Ahmedabad based UN recognized NGO in its letter to the minister has asked for urgent ac-tion against the Vimal Pan Masala advertise-ment featuring actor and youth icon star Ajay Dev-gan. ‘We have requested Mr. Paswan to ensure that the advt is immedi-ately stopped on all me-dia. We have also asked him to take action against Ajay Devgn in order to

deter other celebrities from endorsing harmful products. Since the advt has been aired for near-ly a year, it has already done considerable dam-age. Hence, we have ap-pealed to the minister to ensure that the advertiser issues a corrective advt,’ a statement issued by the consumer rights body said. CERC scored a sig-nificant victory in its re-lentless campaign against the advt when Star India

decided to stop airing the TV commercial effective from 21 March 2016. The advt claims that Vimal Pan Masala has ‘Daane Daane mein Kesar ka dum’. The claim implies that the product has a sig-nificant quantity of saf-fron which is misleading. Also, it is likely to cre-ate a wrong impression in the minds of gullible viewers that the product is healthy. When a youth icon endorses a product it is sure to lure the youth of the country to consume it leading to adverse health consequences. It ends with a statutory warning which states ‘Pan masala chabana swasthya ke liye haanikaarak hai’. If the product requires a health warning, why is it pro-moted by a celebrity like Ajay Devgn? , the state-ment said.
