EDITORIALBack in the USSR

In the 1960s and the 1970s, the Americans and theRussians both used to distribute their respectivepropaganda magazines around India. SPAN, the

American product, was glossier but the Russian Sovi-et Land, with its rougher paper and cruder printing,carried a different payload — every year it wouldhave competitions, the prizes for which were trips tothe USSR. One of these was a painting competitionfor under-15s, where the winners would be taken to aSoviet children’s camp for a month. In 1972, I wasone of the five who won this prize.

Like many Calcutta kids who’d spoilt their eye-sight from reading too much, I was a 12-year-old al-ready deep into some kinds of adult fiction, includingthrillers and Cold War sagas — Ian Fleming, AlistairMacLean and the like. Along with this, I had somerudimentary awareness of world affairs, where I un-derstood that the Soviet Union, unlike India, the Unit-ed States of America and the western European coun-tries, was not a democracy and that it controlled theWarsaw Pact countries with an iron hand. A lot of myreading, of both fiction and international news maga-zines, might have given me a ‘Western’ bias, but withintellectually-aware parents who had participated inthe freedom struggle there was no easy pass in ourhouse for former imperialist European countries or fora US that had inflicted such horrors on Vietnam andjust recently supported Pakistan’s butchery inBangladesh.

Just before our ‘children’s delegation’ caught theflight from Palam airport, my father quietly but firm-ly removed Leon Uris’s Topaz, a pot-boiler about theCuban Missile crisis, from my carry-on bag. “Whycan’t I take that? Will they put me in jail if they findit?” “Probably not, but they may think you’re pro-American, which is avoidable. Just keep your politi-cal opinions to yourself and see and listen.” The half-read paperback was quickly forgotten as I examinedthe cabin details of the Ilyushin-62 taking us toMoscow. After a brief overnight stay, we flew south toSimferopol in the Crimean peninsula and from thereby van to Artek, the vast children’s camp scatteredacross a hillside at the edge of the Black Sea.

Artek was one of the premier summer camps theSoviet Union had created. Every year, school childrendeemed most deserving were brought to this quasi-re-sort for a holiday. They came from across the vastcountry — from all the different republics — in batch-es, each batch spending four weeks across the summermonths. At one level, this holiday was a ‘prize’, forbeing exceptional in studies or sport, for showingleadership qualities as a Young Pioneer (the SovietScouts/Guides), for being talented in music, dance orthe visual arts and so on.

The Rainy DaySullen clouds are gathering fastover the black fringe of theforest. O child, donot go out! Thepalm trees in a rowby the lake are smit-ing their headsagainst the dismalsky; the crows with their draggedwings are silent on the tamarindbranches, and the eastern bank ofthe river is haunted by a deepeninggloom. Our cow is lowing loud,ties at the fence. O child, wait heretill I bring her into the stall."

Discrimination againstSikhs in US

Religious discrimination and hatecrime against the Sikh communityin the United States has increased

in recent years, an eminent human rightsexpert has told the lawmakers urging theadministration and the US Congress totake steps to end this. Congress must takeaction, Amrith Kaur Aakre told membersof the House Judiciary Subcommittee onConstitution, Civil Rights and Civil Lib-erties during a recent Congressionalhearing on Discrimination and CivilRight. Aakre is legal director of the SikhCoalition.

Workplace discrimination harmsSikhs in a range of public and privatesector jobs including transportation, en-tertainment, health care, the military andlaw enforcement by allowing for the bi-ased interpretation and application ofgovernment policies and laws.

"We've seen Sikhs willing to put theirlives on the line in defence of their citiesand country, only to be told that uniformand grooming policies prohibit their arti-cles of faith, she said.

We have seen Sikhs ordered to cuttheir hair for work-related drug testingeven when alternative means are readilyavailable. And we've seen Sikh first re-sponders in the fight against COVID-19pressured to shave their religiously man-dated beards instead of being given ap-propriate, safe personal protective equip-ment that doesn't interfere with theirfaith, Aakre said.

Regardless of the details, time andagain these policies are interpreted in away which disproportionately impactsminority communities and our system al-lows it to keep happening, she said.

We also receive Sikh travellers' re-ports of inappropriate demands to re-move articles of faith, discriminatorycomments by TSA agents and other pro-

filing in our airports, she told the law-makers. This is a humiliating hindrancefor Sikhs and other religious and racialminorities, members of the transgendercommunity and others. And additionaldiscriminatory practices like no-fly listand the lingering effects of the previousadministration's Muslim ban continue toperpetuate profiling against too manypeople, she said. Responding to a ques-tion, Aakre said TSA profiling for SikhAmericans and other minority groups hasalways been a problem.

Bias against travellers is prevalent atevery stage of the travelling process andit starts with the fact that the TSA agentsdo not receive adequate training on TSApolicies or cultural competencies, whichis evident from the moment many stig-matized groups arrive at the airport andhave to go through behavioural detectionbefore reaching security.

In response to another question fromCongresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, shesaid Sikh American students experiencehigh rates of bullying and harassment inour nation's public schools and they con-tinue receiving and documenting nation-wide reports of school bullying.

Sikh boys who wear turbans arecalled terrorists and girls are teased forhaving long hair. And many of these chil-dren are subjected to violence.

Our research shows that the majorityof Sikh children, over 50 per cent, haveendured school bullying. Over two-thirdsor 67 per cent reported that they werebullied in school and turban Sikh chil-dren experienced bullying at more thandouble the national rate, Jackson Leesaid. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal,who is the first and only South AsianAmerican woman elected to the House ofRepresentatives, said 9/11 forever

changed what it means to be Muslim,Arab, or South Asian American in Amer-ica. In the days and weeks after, I re-ceived fearful calls from individuals inthe Sikh, Muslim and Arab-Americancommunity who were being attacked forwearing turbans or hijabs.

I heard from moms and dads whowere afraid to send their kids to school, afear that I shared for my own child, shesaid. Jayapal said her resolution, H Res.629, recognises the climate of hate thatArab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, SouthAsian and Sikh communities have expe-rienced since September 11 and calls foraction to address the event's lasting im-pacts.

I hope this hearing becomes one stepof many to examine and ultimately dis-mantle 9/11 era policies that have per-petuated and exacerbated discriminationagainst these communities, she said.

Positive teacher-studentrelationships

Anew study at the University ofMissouri has found that posi-tive teacher-student relation-

ships lead to better teaching alongwith promoting student's academicachievement The findings, publishedin 'Learning and Instruction', empha-size the importance of teachersdemonstrating 'soft' skills, or proso-cial behaviors, in the classroom, suchas showing kindness, compassion andcaring for others, compared to solelyteaching students the traditional 'hard'skills of reading, writing and arith-metic.

"Students are more likely to learnwhen they feel cared for and valuedby their teacher. One reason for that isstudents tend to be more motivated tolearn and be engaged in the classroomwhen their teacher likes and caresabout them. Positive teacher-studentrelationships change student behavior,and in this study, we found buildingthose positive relationships actuallyleads to better teaching, too. Itchanges teacher behaviour," saidChristi Bergin, a research professor atthe MU College of Education and Hu-man Development and senior authoron the study. Bergin analyzed surveydata from the Network for Educator

Effectiveness, a teacher growth andevaluation system developed at theMU College of Education and HumanDevelopment that is now used inmore than 280 school districts acrossMissouri.

The survey asked students ingrades four through 10 to evaluatetheir teachers on four teaching prac-tices highly linked with student aca-demic achievement: sparking cogni-tive engagement, critical thinking andproblem solving, helping students fol-low along from one topic to the nextand making curriculum interestingand relevant.

Somewhere on drum, somewhere in realm of sadness,Punjab will make a new history on March 10

AMRITPAL SINGH

Majithia's Tananj ThokoTali, Sidhu's New PunjabModel Mann's jokes will

resound in our ears. Punjab willlose and the world of its dreamswill be shattered. Punjab has notbeen mentioned before and will notbe again. Everyone will fall asleepsounding their own duffel. And tofind a new way to loot, a new plotwill be born. The Kisan EktaSangharsh had raised hopes of anew ray of consolation in theminds of the people of Punjab.

But the cunning and cunningpoliticians inflicted such a blow onthe minds of the peasant leadersthat they were lost in the dream ofthe Chief Minister's post. Those

who were made heroes by KisanEkta Sangharsh were reduced tozero. Politics is like a game ofchess. In which ego prevails and

greed grips its surroundings.While these leaders sing themelody of clove to deceive thepeople and serve the society. But

patriotic social service becomesdwarfed by greed and pride. If welook at Baba Bod of Akali Dal pol-itics then everything becomes

clear. The 94-year-old warrior, ofcourse, is strong with the help ofBaisakhia, and is still on the fieldtoday.

He could have written a book-let on the bitter experiences of hislife which would have been a guidefor future generations. But in thename of Seva, one seems to be en-grossed in one's lust (greed). Seealso the 84-year-old youth (a resi-dent of the royal family) who saidfor the last time in politics that hetoo seems to be entangled in a webof greed and arrogance for publicconsent.

In the British Raj, the leadersused to oppress the people andwreak havoc. Today's leaders doboth looting and beating. Punjab

today stands on a wall where ourmorals and ethics have declined.Punjab, which was a colorful Pun-jab, has the direct, indirect andcomplete contribution of our leaderto walk on this bumpy road.Which heir will hold his arm to-day? In the field of education.

Who will raise the Niwan whohas eroded our intellectual level?Who would tolerate the white-washing of houses, the scatteringof unemployment here and there,and the symptoms like sand mafia?Greed and selfishness blew awaythe temptations of Dharma andstarted using it for their own selfishends. Punjab will have to wake upotherwise these selfish leaders willturn green Punjab like.

innovative global smartphone brand, today announced the launch of its new digital campaign, "Joy of Equality"which highlights gender stereotypes that are prevalent within society. The brand aims to nudge its audience to introspectand take corrective measures to break the bias. Conceptualized by Dentsu Impact, the leading creative agency from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network India, the campaign stems from the thought that Joy is incomplete without Equality. Backed by a strong narrative,the film pans through various phases in the life of women that sheds light on how they are treated differently and are asked to ‘pose’ for society.The film is a montage of different ‘poses’ for the camera by different people at different stages of life; from an infant to the elderly seen through the lens of the camera as a dispassionate observer. Through occurrences that may be seen as commonplace, it tries to bring to light the inequality in the treatment meted out to women right from birth.

India spinner Ravichandran Ash-win has condoled the demise ofShane Warne, saying the Aus-tralian brought spin as an attackingcommodity to this cricketingworld.

Warne passed away on Fridayaged 52 due to a suspected heart at-tack.

"I see Warne as a flag-bearerfor carrying the spin aspect ofbowling on the front in the worldcricketing map. The top threewicket-takers in the world are spin-ners in Muttiah Muralitharan,Shane Warne and Anil Kumble. He

was an interesting character. Somany Australian legends had so

many nice things to say about him.I still can't accept the fact that life

is so fickle. We cannot predict whatcan happen," Ashwin said on hisYouTube channel.

"Shane Warne was a colourfulcharacter, he redefined bowling,he has taken more than 1000 inter-national wickets, not many canachieve this rare feat. ShaneWarne brought spin as an attack-ing commodity to this cricketingworld. Everyone will talk aboutWarne's delivery to Mike Gatting,but my favourite is Warne's deliv-ery to Andrew Strauss in 2005Ashes. He almost single-handedlyfought for Australia in that series.He was a maestro. He was an ex-tra-ordinary human being and helived his life to the fullest," he

added.Warne was one of the most in-

fluential cricketers in history. Healmost single-handedly reinventedthe art of leg-spin when he burstonto the international scene in theearly 1990s, and by the time he re-tired from international cricket in2007, he had become the firstbowler to reach 700 Test wickets.

A central figure in Australia'sICC Cricket World Cup triumph in1999, when he was player of thematch in both the semi-final andthe final, Wisden Cricketers' Al-manack recognized Shane'sachievements by naming him asone of its Five Cricketers of theTwentieth Century.
