Moving towards providing betterlife, basic amenities for people: PM

AGENCYNEW DELHI, AUG 10

Prime Minister Narendra Modi onTuesday highlighted the workdone by his government during thelast seven and a half years tenureand said the growth that the coun-try is witnessing today should havebeen made several decades ago.

The Prime Minister also saidthat the country is moving towardsfulfilling the dream of a better lifefor people as basic amenities arenow available to them.

While launching the Ujjwala2.0, PM Modi said, "The changesbrought by the Ujjwala schemes inthe lives of people are unprece-dented. This scheme was started in2016 from Uttar Pradesh's Balliawhich is the land of MangalPandey. Today the second editionof Ujjwala is also starting from'Mahoba ki Veerbhoomi' in UP."

"We will be celebrating the75th Independence Day soon. Ifwe look back to the works done inthe last 7.5 years, the developmen-tal work done in this period couldhave been done decades ago. It issaid that many people in the coun-try had to wait for the basic neces-sities like home, electricity, water,toilet, gas, road, hospital and

school for decades," PM Modi saidadding that the in last seven yearsthe government had worked in a'mission mode' to find solutions forthe people's basic problems.

The Prime Minister also statedthat in the first phase of theUjjwala scheme over eight crorewomen from poor, dalit, tribal andbackward families were benefit-ted.

"Not wood log stoves, butLPG stoves should be there inevery household across the coun-try," PM Modi said.

In Ujjwala 2.0, migrants willnot be required to submit rationcards or address proof. A self-dec-laration for both 'family declara-

tion' and as a 'proof of address' willsuffice, he said. PM Modi in hisspeech also mentioned Hockeylegend Major Dhyan Chand andsaid, "I would also like to remem-ber Hockey legend Major DhyanChand after whose name Khel Rat-na has been renamed. This will in-spire lakhs of people who want topursue sports. This Olympics, our

athletes not only won medals butalso signaled a bright future of In-dian sports." Union PetroleumMinister Hardeep Singh Puri andUP Chief Minister YogiAdityanath were also present at theevent. While Puri was attendingthe event through video conferenc-ing, Yogi Adityanath was presentat the venue.

The government has not tak-en any decision on preparinga National Register of IndianCitizens (NRIC) for thewhole country, Union minis-ter Nityanand Rai said in Par-liament on Tuesday.

He, however, said thegovernment has decided toupdate the National Popula-tion Register (NPR) underthe Citizenship Act, 1955,along with the first phase ofCensus 2021.

"Till now, the govern-ment has not taken any deci-sion to prepare the NationalRegister of Indian Citizens(NRIC) at national level,"Rai said in a written reply toa question in the Lok Sabha.

So far, the NRC has beenupdated only in Assam.When the final list of theNRC was published in 2019,a total of 19.06 lakh of the3.3 crore applicants were ex-cluded, triggering a huge po-litical row.

Replying to anotherquestion, the minister saidany person who is not satis-fied with the outcome of the

decisions of the claims andobjections during the processof preparing the NRC in As-sam may prefer an appeal be-fore the designated Foreign-ers Tribunals within 120 daysfrom the date of such order.

Since those excludedfrom the NRC in Assam areyet to exhaust all possible le-gal remedies available tothem, the question of theirnationality verification doesnot arise at this stage, headded.

Referring to the NPR,Rai said the government hasdecided to update it alongwith the first phase of Census2021.

He said the demographicand other particulars of eachfamily and individual are tobe updated or collected dur-ing the exercise of updatingthe NPR.

Congress district convener TrilochanSingh today dubbed the BJP’spatriotism pitch as a hoax saidand said that by taking outTiranga Yatra the saffron par-ty was only trying to cover upthe government’s failures.

The Congress leader saidthat the BJP leader should ex-plain why the Tiranga had notbeen hoisted at the Nagpurheadquarters of the RSS be-fore 2014. He asked whichBJP leader had attained mar-tyrdom. The Sangh has al-ways stayed away from the freedommovement. Singh said that the BJP gov-ernment, which speaks of national devo-tion, is selling the country into the handsof capitalists and is working to break theconstitution of the country.

He said that today, unemployment andinflation are at their peak in the country

and people are starving. But leaders at theCentre and state government are lootingthe country with both hands, he alleged.

The district convener of the Congresssaid that the BJP was insult-ing the national heroes. To-day, the BJP is embarkingon a Tiranga to divert atten-tion from the real problemsbesetting the country. BJPhas nothing to do with na-tional devotion, and nation-al Tricolor, he said.

He rued that farmershave been sitting on dharnaoutside the country's capi-tal for nine months, and600 farmers have been

martyred so far. But, the government hasturned deaf ears to the pleas of the farm-ers. How can such a party talk about na-tional devotion, he wondered. He said thatpeople have seen through the motive ofBJP's Tricolor Yatra, and added that peo-ple are not going to be fooled by the saf-fron party’s tricks.

But when they do write exam, it gets cancelled due tofrequent leaks, thus depriving youth of the country of the jobs. “Through you, all of us students request the government to takecognizance of this issue and take strict action so that it be-comes a precedent for the future,” the memorandum said. Thestudents urged the government that recruitments be done everyyear, paper calendar to be issued, syllabus be defined.

In Jandiala Center, 87 thousandquintals of wheat embezzlementcases, even though two officershave been suspended by thedepartment. But itsinvestigation is still going on.Because a lot of fish are yet tocome in this big-scale scambecause it is not possible to dosuch a big amount of wheatscam by one inspect in 8 anus.

According to theinformation received from thesources, who were keeping it.He was posted as a securityguard in Gudamo late at night.He has a big role in the missingwheat in the Gudams, which arestill away from the grip of thepolice. CTV cameras were alsonot installed, due to which theywould have been easy to movethe goods here and there.

AFSO Arshdeep Singhwhose duty was to check thestock lying in Gudam within 15days. But they did not check therecords in time, which clearlyshows that everyone is naked inthis hammam. Getting thecharge of 8 deputies is alsoimportant in this case becauseusually only 1 or 2 are given tothe inspector. Politicalinterference is clearly visible in

this, without political pressure itis impossible to get the chargeof 8 deputies. Their method of"disappearing" the governmentwheat was also unique, thisinspector used to cut his login idfor the scam of Rs 2 per kgwheat and the wheat providedfree of cost by the centralgovernment. Wheat used toburp itself, apart from this, inorder to burrow the wheat itself,by cutting bamboo inside theanus, 2 to 5 kg of wheat wastaken out in every 30 kg and 50kg bag. Similarly, there is apossibility of large-scaledisturbances in the wheatpurchased from the grainmarket for Pangrain because inJandiala's and Tangra's grainmarket, wheat was procured bythe same inspector during thiswheat season. But it wasbought and crores of rupeeswere also paid by thegovernment but the wheatprocured could not reach thegrains of Pangrain.

Deep ideological roots of anti-Hindu sentiment in Pakistan

Religious minoritiesin Pakistan are vic-timized through Is-

lamist persecution --from forced conversionsto desecration of worshipplaces. However, theSouth Asian country'santi-Hindu bigotry re-mains uniquely institu-tionalized.

Last week, a mobcomprising over a dozenmen armed with sticksvandalized a Hindu tem-ple in village Bhong inPunjab province, shout-ing slogans and desecrat-ing idols in the place ofworship.

Despite widespreadcondemnation of the tem-ple attack, several partymembers and even cabi-net ministers of the ImranKhan government haveexpressed vile anti-Hindubigotry or rallied in sup-port of punishments for"blasphemers."

Writing for TheDiplomat, Kunwar Khul-dune Shahid stated thatthe mob violence inBhong put on display thedeep ideological roots ofanti-Hindu sentiment inPakistan.

"First is the surfacelevel utility of Pakistan'sblasphemy law, whichhas seen dozens killed,hundreds of worshipplaces demolished, andthousands of victims im-prisoned, injured, or ex-pelled. The law facilitatesIslamist mob violence byestablishing offended Is-lamic sentiments as suffi-

cient grounds for death,"Shahid said. The writerstated that violent Islamicsupremacism isn't wield-ed by Islamists or oppor-tunistic politicians but issanctioned by the consti-tution.

"And yet the stateparadoxically tries to si-multaneously be a demo-cratic republic. This, inturn, results in the Pak-

istani state -- unlike undi-luted theocracies likeSaudi Arabia or Iran --handing over the prover-bial hammer to Islamistmobs and encouragingthem to see 'blasphe-mous' or 'anti-Islam' nailseverywhere."

According to thethink tank Center of Po-litical and Foreign Affairs(CPFA), there is a ma-

joritarian outlook in Pak-istan dominated by Islam,belonging to the Sunnidenomination.

Mario de Gasperi, inhis CPFA report, arguedthat Pakistan has de-scended to its currentstate of religious intoler-ance through a series ofpolitical decisions madeby its leaders, after thedeath of its founding fa-

ther Mohammad Ali Jin-nah. Apart from the Hin-du community, discrimi-nation against the Christ-ian community is deeplyrooted in Pakistan.

According to theCPFA report, blasphemylaws in Pakistan continueto be a source of suffer-ing for minorities. "Afalse accusation can be apunishment in itself,

since a number of caseshave provoked brutalmob violence against theaccused and their fami-lies."

The think tank furtherstated that for the pastseveral decades, the Pak-istani authorities have in-cessantly failed to effec-tively protect minoritiesfrom faith-based vio-lence.

Study finds impact of postpartumdepression on children's oral health

Arecent study hasfound that postpar-tum depression can

inhibit a mother's abilityto instil healthy toothbrushing habits in chil-dren.

The findings of thestudy were published inthe journal 'CommunityDentistry and Oral Epi-demiology'.

It is no secret thatbrushing your teeth twicea day is highly effective inpromoting healthy teethand gums.

The International As-sociation of PediatricDentistry advocates

brushing with toothpastecontaining fluoride to pre-vent decayed, missing, orfilled teeth -- known aschildhood dental caries(ECC) -- in children.

Parents are instrumen-tal in instilling good den-tal habits in their children.

In Japan, there is aworryingly high preva-lence of ECC among chil-dren aged 3 years old.Postpartum depressionand/or lack of affectioncaused by bonding disor-ders hamper a mother'sability to cultivate healthydental practices in chil-dren, and researchers were

keen to explore this link.Dr Shinobu Tsuchiya fromTohoku University Hospi-tal led a research groupthat analyzed approxi-mately 80,000 mother-in-fant pairs from the Min-istry of Environment'sJapan Environment andChildren's Study.

They found childrenwith mothers sufferingfrom postpartum depres-sion or bonding disordersbrushed their teeth less of-ten. Likewise, the fre-quency with which chil-dren brushed their teethincreased when mothersshowed strong affection

towards their children.The research group

hopes their research willfoster greater mental sup-port and management formothers and that doctorswill incorporate these fac-tors when assessing chil-dren's oral health.

"A mother's psycho-logical well-being pro-vides valuable screeninginformation for identify-ing children at a high riskof ECC," said Tsuchiya.

In future studies,Tsuchiya and her teamhope to examine other en-vironmental influences onpoor oral health.

EDITORIALHalf lessons

Caste is, apparently, best left silent. So, littleresearch has been conducted on school text-books for signs of caste bias whereas identi-

fying gender bias or the tendency to project historythrough a sectarian lens has been more popular. Thefirst study of caste bias in Indian textbooks focusedon 10 books of literature and social sciences fromclasses IV to VIII in Odia schools. Dalits are barelyvisible in these texts, being mentioned only in threeof the 10 books, and in 5 per cent of the total pagespresenting social lives. This is not unexpected in acountry where violence from dominant groups to-wards less powerful castes is shamefully common.The Odia textbooks symbolize an institutionalizeddistortion of the facts of Indian social existence. Theresearch found that invisibility, one of the sevenforms of curricular bias against which Americantextbooks were tested, was most used in the Odiatexts. The percentage of Dalit presence makes thisobvious, as does the fact that there is no Dalit char-acter in the literature texts of Classes IV, V, VI andVIII. This has nothing to do with reality. But a hier-archical approach in social interactions is thus incul-cated, while a pretence of equality is maintainedthrough an account of government programmes forDalits in the Class IV text, with no explanation oftheir necessity. Class IV children may learn them byrote without understanding their significance.

It is urgent that textbooks in regional languagesin all states be tested for caste bias. As education ex-pands its base, the presence of Dalit children in theclass would give to such textbooks a sharp signifi-cance. They would learn nothing about their livesand history except a few stereotypes, and would yetexperience the quiet force with which the establish-ment seems to be perpetuating the caste system.School texts in Gujarat call this system benign, andin Rajasthan they claim that it is a good systembased on professional differences. These also sug-gest that India’s education experts are fully con-scious of the man-made inequality of the system andof its regressive import, but keep it alive because ofthe vested interests of dominant caste groups. Equaleducation and caste bias cannot go together. Just aseducation without awareness of caste injustice is noeducation at all.

A Prayer for my DaughterOnce more the storm ishowling, and half hidUnder this cradle-hoodand coverlidMy child sleeps on.There is no obstacleBut Gregory's wood andone bare hillWhereby the haystack- and roof-levellingwind,Bred on the Atlantic, can be stayed;And for an hour I have walked and prayedBecause of the great gloom that is in mymind.I have walked and prayed for this youngchild an hourAnd heard the sea-wind scream upon thetower,And under the arches of the bridge, andscreamIn the elms above the flooded stream;Imagining in excited reverieThat the future years had come.

Eye size of birds may predictsensitivity to environmental change

Anew study shows the eyesize of birds can revealbroad patterns of their biolo-

gy and behaviour, including wherethey live, what they eat, and howthey hunt, providing a potentialroadmap for future conservation ef-forts. Birds have some of thelargest eyes relative to the bodiesof all vertebrate land animals, sec-ond only to frogs. With a limitedrange of taste and smell, birds pri-marily rely on vision to navigate,find food and avoid predators. Yetsurprisingly little is known abouthow eye size in birds influencestheir behaviour compared with oth-er traits, such as beak shape andbody size, which scientists havemeticulously studied since CharlesDarwin's classic work on finches.

"I was really shocked to findout while doing literature searchesthat there was no definitive publi-cation on how eye size in birds re-lates to their environment," said IanAusprey, a recent doctoral graduateof the Florida Museum of NaturalHistory's Ordway Lab of Ecosys-

tem Conservation. Previous studieson bird eyes have been limited inscope, typically including only afew dozen species or birds in spe-cific regions. This gap in scientificknowledge was all the more glar-ing given that a graduate studentmeasured the eyes of more than4,000 species of birds in museumcollections in the late 1970s, creat-ing the largest dataset of its kind.

Ausprey relied on this resourceto analyze eye size for 2,777species -- about one-third of theworld's bird diversity -- revealingthat this single trait more powerful-ly predicts where birds live.
