coincidence but an experiment: Modi in Delhi
New Delhi:The contro-
versy over BJP lead-
ers’ hate speeches
against anti-CAA pro-
testers yet to abate,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi today tagged
the protests “anarchy”
and sought Delhi’s
mandate to stop it. Ac-
cusing Delhi’s ruling
Aam Aadmi Party and
the Congress of engi-
neering the protests,
he said the two parties
are playing politics of
appeasement. “Hiding
behind the constitu-
tion and the national
flag, they are giving
lectures,” he said at a
rally days before the
assembly elections.
Delhi has spearhead-
ed the protests against
the Citizenship Amend-
ment Act. Inspired by
the women’s protests at
Shaheen Bagh -- which
headlined across the
world -- woman in vari-
ous cities have hit the
streets.
The Prime Minister
today questioned if
these protests were a
“coincidence”.
“WhetheritisSeelam-
pur, Jamia or Shaheen
Bagh, there have been
multiple protests
against theCAA.Doyou
think these protests are
a coincidence? It is not.
It is all an experiment
rooted in politics. If it
was simply about a law,
it would have ended,”
PM Modi said.
Pointing to the
Shaheen Bagh pro-
tests that had blocked
an arterial road for
weeks, PM Modi said,
“If their game plan is
not stopped, they will
block another road or
gully tomorrow. We
can’t let them spread
anarchy. Your vote
has the power to put a
stop to this”. Turn on P4

Gandhian Gehlot blasts BJP for remarks on Bapu
First India News
Mumbai: Moments af-
ter former Union min-
ister Anant Kumar
Hegde claimed at an
event in Bangalore
that the entire free-
dom movement led by
Mahatma Gandhi was
staged with the con-
sent and support of
the British, and the in-
dependence movement
led by Gandhi was a
“drama”, Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot came
out strongly against
Kumar and con-
demned his remarks.
Gehlot called out the
Bharatiya Janata Party
and claimed that the
saffron party has no re-
gard for the ‘Father of
the Nation’.
“BJP MP’s state-
ment is condemnable.
BJP leaders can afford
to call freedom move-
ment a drama only be-
cause they never
fought for India’s In-
dependence and never
made any sacrifices,”
Gehlot tweeted.
“Such statements re-
veal their true mindset
that they use Gandhi’s
name just for show and
have no regard for
him,” he said.
Gehlot also stressed
that such remarks
only bring out in the
open the mentality of
BJP as they only use
Gandhi’s name for
their benefit.
The three-time
Chief Minister also
lent support to Rahul
Gandhi’s ‘twitter
barbs’ on Finance
Minister Nirmala Si-
tharaman, where he
had grilled the fi-
nance minister.

No jobs, no figures
therefore no answers

Meanwhile, Gehlot,
who is in Mumbai for
personal work, is slated
to fly to New Delhi on
Tuesday where he is ex-
pected to camp for the
next two days.
During the visit, CM

E
very year, the
Union for Inter-
national Can-
cer Control
(UICC) organizes the
World Cancer Day on
February 4 to raise
awareness in the global
community to put an
end to the injustice of
“preventable suffering”
from cancer.
This year, “I am and I
will” is the theme and it
acknowledges that eve-
ryonehasthecapacityto
act in the face of cancer.
In 2020, the celebra-
tion of World Cancer
Day will see its 20th an-
niversary, when the dis-
cussionsurroundingthe
disease is even more im-
portant.
On February 4, 2000,
World Cancer Day was
written into the Charter
of Paris Against Cancer.
The document was
signed in between then
French President
Jacques Chirac and UN-
ESCO General Director
at that time, Koichiro
Matsuura.
The UICC aims
at uniting and
supporting
the cancer
communityin
order to reduce
the global cancer
burden and promote
greaterequity.Theor-
ganization works to
ensure that cancer
control continues to
be priority in the
world health and devel-
opment agenda.
The membership or-
ganization also works
towards strengthening
cancer laws across the
world. The UICC in
2012founded McCabe
Centre for Law & Can-
cer, which is the first
and only centre of its
kind. The McCabe cen-
tre aims at advancing
law to fight cancer.
The UICC also posted
on its Twitter handle
that some of the most
important landmarks
across the globe would
“light up in orange and
blue” to commemorate
World Cancer Day.
Cancer is
the second
leading cause of
death globally.
The top cancers
that affect the
Indians are that of
lung, breast,
cervical and
colorectal. But
healthy changes
in lifestyle and
diet can help in
reducing the
overall risk of

Early implementation of resource-appropriate
strategies on prevention could go a long way in
keeping cancer at bay
Obesity is another big risk
factor for cancer around
the world. A review by
researchers from Italy’s Bari
Aldo Moro University found
that people with a Body
Mass Index (BMI) higher
than 40 have a higher risk
of cancer.
 Excess body fat increas-
es the risk of cancer
in three ways: Obesity
contributes to insulin re-
sistance which results in
cells being unable to take
up glucose and subse-
quently dividing faster.
 Obese people tend to
have higher levels of in-
flammatory cytokines in
the blood which causes
chronic inflammation,
leading to rapid cell
division.
 Fat cells increase estro-
gen levels, increasing
risk of breast and ovar-
ian cancer in women.
Thankfully, studies have
shown that weight loss in
obese people do help in
reducing cancer risk. Mak-
ing a healthy lifestyle choice
through regular exercise
could go a long way in
keeping cancer at bay and
reduces lot of problems too.
Smoking has been linked to
various types of cancer,
including cancer of the lung,
mouth, throat, larynx, and
pancreas. Also, chewing
tobacco has been linked to
cancer in a person’s oral
cavity and pancreas. So
the next time you think you
absolutely need a smoke,
think again. Even the National
Cancer Institue, US, says
that tobacco use is a leading
cause of cancer and of death
from cancer.
EXERCISE
NO TOBACCO
Aholistic
dietary
approach can go
a long way in helping
avoid cancer. Experts say that
eating an optimal diet may
reduce cancer risk by up to
70 percent and help recovery
from cancer as well.
An Iran-based study,
published in the American
Journal of Cancer Research,
found that certain foods
can fight cancer through a
process called anti-angio-
genesis, which blocks blood
vessels that
feed cancer
cells.
Scientists believe
that vegetables like broccoli,
cauliflower and cabbage con-
tain sulforaphane that helps
reduce tumor size, while
citrus fruits also help prevent
cancer.Higher intake of beans
and legumes may protect
against colorectal cancer.
Having nuts, olive oil,
spices such as turmeric have
been seen to have cancer-
fighting properties too.
FOLLOW HEALTHY DIET
Ultraviolet ra-
diation from the
sun is the number
one cause of skin
cancer. While the
sun’s rays may
make us feel
good, they
ultimately
lead skin
lesions
that are
cancer-
ous leading
to a decrease
in skin’s immune
function. Avoiding
midday sun, cover-
ing exposed areas
of the skin, using
sunscreen and
avoiding tanning
beds are some of
the ways to prevent
skin cancer.
PROTECTION FROM SUN
 According to the World Health
Organisation, one-third of
deaths from cancer are due to
the 5 leading behavioural and
dietary risks: high body mass
index, low fruit and vegetable
intake, lack of physical activity,
tobacco use, and alcohol use
 Tobacco use contributes to a
huge number of cancer deaths.
It is responsible for approxi-
mately 22% of cancer death
 Cancer is a result of abnormal
growth of cells, this growth
can be a contribution of both
external factors and inherited
genetic factors
 According to WHO one in
six deaths is due to cancer.
Approximately 70% of deaths
from cancer occur in low- and
middle-income countries.
Yes, we all love our
sugary treats and
savoury processed hot
dogs, bacon, and ham.
But medical experts
are of the opinion that
these might not be
beneficial in the long
run and may actually be
carcinogenic.
Studies have found
processed foods that
are high in sugar
and low in fiber and
nutrients are linked
to higher cancer risk,
while the International
Agency for Research
on Cancer in France
deems that processed
meat is a carcinogen - a
substance that causes
cancer.
AVOID SUGAR,
REFINED CARBS AND
PROCESSED MEAT

did it not have such an

GUP
SHUP
THIS GAMA LOVES
TO PARTY HARD
ALL THE TIME!
One ‘Gama Sahab’,
currently posted in the
police lines at Chandpol, is
quite a party animal. But the
cop does not rave, rather
wants to keep himself ‘high’
through pegs after pegs
of any liquor he can get
his hands on. Word is that
th Gama’s ‘party’ starts at
daybreak and even during
duty hours he ‘parties’ in
his quarters. When anyone
comes looking for the Gama,
his staff ‘shoos’ him away
claiming that the sahab is
extremely busy. It is only
when the sahab is in senses
that something happens, but
that happens on very few
occasions.
RESHUFFLING OF PERSONAL ASSISTANTS IN
COMMISSIONERATE RAISES QUESTIONS
Einstein said that every action has a equal and opposite reaction. But
what happens prior to the ‘action’ is also a major development that
needs consideration. Take this recent shuffling of Personal Assistants
in the Jaipur Commissionerate. The PAs of IPS officers of Jaipur city
police have been shuffled recently and one explanation being given is
that these PAs were at the same post for a long time. But then again, the
‘behind the curtains’ story says that there was some major ‘exchange of
profit’ that has caused the shuffle. While many theories float in the air,
one thing is certain that this action is a reaction to an earlier action.
HOW A FORMER BOSS ENSURED THAT HIS MEN ARE REWARDED
The Police Head Quarters (PHQ) is rife with discussions about the DGP Disk. A previous ‘Victor’ had a
‘free-hand’ in awarding the disks to the officials, however, he could not still deliver rewards to all his
confidantes. Before bidding adieu, the former top cop had also promised those officers close to him
that they will also be provided with a DGP Disk. And much to the elation of these officials, when the list
of officials chosen for the honour was revealed, all these officials found their names mention in the list!
These officials are thus talking about the commitment of the former DGP.
A BRAVO SAHAB WHOSE ACTIONS
IRRITATE HIS SENIORS
ABravo sahab posted in the Police Head Quarters (PHQ) is an ‘eyesore’
for senior officials. The sahab has been in mid of a ‘controversy’ that
he is deliberately taking wrong decisions on various investigations. The
‘bade sahab’ under whom the Bravo is posted is also miffed with him as
even after hearing the parties in dispute and going through the evidences,
the cop is not taking the right course of investigation. Interestingly, officials
in the PHQ know that is the Bravo gives an assurance of holding the right
investigation. Well what transpires is a total opposite of his assurance!
Interestingly, the Bravo was recently ‘called off’ by the Court too!
Locust attack from
Pak worries farmers
First India News
Jaisalmer: It is not
been long that Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
himself went to west-
ern parts of the state to
get first hand report on
deadly locust attacks.
It was his initiative
that the farmers whose
crops had fallen prey to
the locusts have re-
ceived the compensa-
tion for their losses, but
not all of the affected
farmers have been com-
pensated till now.
To add to the pain,
the locust attacks from
Pakistan side continue
and so does the misery
of the farmers of Bar-
mer, Jaisalmer and now
even parts of Jodhpur
are living the night-
mare. The villages close
to Indo-Pak border in-
cluding Sate Bawari,
Booth, Sarupe Ka Tala,
Navatala and Mithdau
are under attack.
Unlike Pakistan,
which has declared lo-
cust attacks as national
emergency the Indian
government is yet to de-
cide on this crucial is-
sue. Gehlot has already
written to Centre and
also sent reminders in
this regard.
First India News
Jaipur: Fifty hours af-
ter the rape of a minor
girl during an engage-
ment ceremony of her
cousin on Sunday night
in Jaipur, the police
have caught the ac-
cused. The city police
were able to track the
accused Raju after see-
ing CCTV footage. Raju
was a contractor of
chaat stalls set up for
the programme.
The 10-year-old girl
had gone to an engage-
ment programme with
her parents at a mar-
riage garden in Murli-
pura where she was
raped by the accused
who covered her mouth
inside the toilet of the
marriage garden and
committed the crime.
After the incident the
police questioned the
catering workers, la-
bourers and DJ workers
present in the garden
during the incident.
More than 30 people
were questioned before
the cops caught hold of
the accused.
According to the po-
lice, when the girl was
not seen for long, her
family started looking
for her and later found
the victim covered with
blood inside the toilet.
After the incident,
the family took the girl
to the nearest hospital,
from where she was re-
ferred to JK Lon Hospi-
tal in a critical condi-
tion. The victim is a
resident of Durgapura
area. The father of the
minor reported the mat-
ter to the Murlipura po-
lice station. Later, both
the forensic team and
the police reached the
marriage garden to
gather evidence from
the scene.
CCTV cameras in-
stalled in the garden
and video recordings of
the engagement were
checked by the police.
As the DJ was installed
near the toilet during
the programme, there-
fore, no one heard the
sound of the girl
screaming inside the
toilet. In the video re-
cording of the engage-
ment, the girl is seen
eating in the garden at
8.30 pm, followed by
washing her hands at
the water can kept near
the main gate. From
there, the victim was
seen going towards the
toilet. After that, due to
the bride’s entry, the
camera turned to the
other side.

Panther checks into Durbar
Hall of Udaipur City Palace
First India News
Udaipur: In a shock-
ing incident, a panther
entered the Durbar
Hall of City Palace on
Sunday night and im-
mediately the Forest
Department was noti-
fied about the same.
After the news, tour-
ists and people are
were barred from go-
ing towards the Dur-
bar Hall. However,
tourists were allowed
to visit Udaipur Fort
and Palace.
According to the
Forest Department,
the roar of the panther
was heard from the
store near the Durbar
Hall. The department
also tried to tran-
quilise the panther, but
the efforts went in vain
due to the long dis-
tance. Then, a cage
with a goat was kept to
capture the panther.
Forest officials said
that the cage was
placed in a narrow pas-
sage leading out of the
Durbar Hall so that the
panther sees the goat
and gets trapped. They
are estimating that the
panther must have en-
tered the Durbar Hall
from the side of Samor
Bagh as a panther
movement had been
seen in Samor Bagh in
the past as well.
Meanwhile in anoth-
er incident, a panther
attacked four people in
Bori village of Ban-
swara district on Sun-
day evening. The con-
dition of the two in-
jured is critical. The
eyewitness of the inci-
dent, one Sanjay, in-
formed that the pan-
ther was roaming in
the fields in village.
Lalji Patidar, Shakeel,
Khatu and Raju took
an axe and tried to
shoo away the panther,
but it attacked them
after seeing the axe.
After the incident,
large number of peo-
ple reached the spot
and saved the injured
from the panther. The
villagers said that the
same panther had
hunted a neelgai in the
Makartor forest of
Daduka, followed by at-
tacking a youth pass-
ing from there on a
bike. Daduka is just 5-7
km from Bori.

conference (VC).
Singh took feedback
from every district ad-
ministration and the
concerned health offi-
cials. He also instructed
them to strictly follow
international guide-
lines to thwart the coro-
navirus threat. Addi-
tional director (Rural
Health) Dr Ravi Praksh
Sharma gave the status
of the 26 people marked
so far. Out of 26, nine
have been admitted to
hospitals while 19 were
safe in their homes.
The VC was attended
by all the top health of-
ficials and they also
briefed about the use of
PP kit and precautions
to be taken while ap-
proaching a suspicious
patient.
So far, two MBBS stu-
dents in Barmer have
been put in isolation
ward. Both had re-
turned from Wuhan
(China) just a few days
ago before the global
warning was sounded.
Samples of both the stu-
dents have been sent to
Jaipur for diagnosis.
The students will be
monitored closely till
their medical test re-
ports confirm or other-
wise. Meanwhile after
Kishangargh in Ajmer
now two suspect cases
have come to light in
Beawar. The district ad-
ministration immedi-
ately rushed to the two
students who had ar-
rived from China where
they study. Both have
been tested for Swine
Flu apart from Corona-
virus. Their samples
have been sent to Jaipur
and Delhi. Family mem-
bers of both have been
given necessary in-
structions. The stu-
dents will be closely
monitored for next 15
days by local health of-
ficials. The Beawar ad-
ministration is also pre-
paring a list of all the
people who had come in
contact with these two
students after their ar-
rival from China.
Udaipur had its share
of scare when a Chi-
nese tourist reported
high fever on reaching

mitted to RML Hospital
in Delhi.

Singh Yadav opposed
the stand taken by some
local Congressmen on
creating an isolation
centre in Alwar. He said
that he is a qualified
physician and sees no
harm in shifting Indi-
ans from China in Al-

one should always serve
the country whenever
there is a chance.

lege (NDC) is currently
visiting Rajasthan. The

met Chief Secretary
DB Gupta and senior of-
ficials of different de-
partments in the state
secretariat on Monday.
During the interac-
tion, the NDC team in-

prised him about their
course work.
They told him that
they would study Ra-
jasthan’s social and po-
litical situation. Be-
sides, national and in-
ternational events, cur-
rent affairs and reac-
tion of the states and
steps taken by them are
also part of their study.
On the other hand,
the CS and other top bu-
reaucrats informed the
NDC team about Cen-
tral and State govern-
ment schemes current-
ly running in the state
and in which Rajasthan
is a leading state. The

Jaipur: The Ashok Ge-
hlot government has fi-
nally resolved a long
standing issue pertain-
ing to the rural areas
coming under cities.
This issue came up
for the first time while
Gehlot was the chief
minister in 2012 when a
note sheet from Sawai
Madhopur became a
bone of contention be-
tween govt officials.
Finally after eight
long years the issue of
rules governing the
land conversion, single
lease and building map
plan approvals have
been clarified by the
govt. The anomaly sur-
faced due to lack of
clarity until now. So far
all the three issues for
rural areas in city were
dealt by the concerned
collector. When these
areas got assimilated in
the city area, the issues
were referred to UIT
and development au-
thority. But these bod-
ies considered all con-
structions in such cases
illegal. Now, Gehlot
govt has removed every
ambiguity from this
matter and issued di-
rections which will
pave way for hassle free
settlement of related is-
sues long pending
through out the state.

Saraf targets govt over medical scam
First India News
Jaipur: Former

into a scam department.
Saraf said that ‘giving

ey’ case of NRHM came
to light earlier and now
on the same lines, game
of corruption continues
in Medical Officer Re-
cruitment Examination
too. He questioned the
medical department
that why it is avoiding
the release of results of

Individual exam results
are being sent to candi-

are being seen as fuel
for a spate of firing
incidents near Delhi’s
Shaheen Bagh and
Jamia Millia Islamia.
Month-long demon-
strations against the
amended citizenship
law are being held in
these two places along
with a dozen others.
One of the shooters,
allegedly a juvenile,
was taken into custody
by police after opening
fire on protesters near
Jamia Millia Islamia.
He had posted pro-Hin-
dutva slogans on Face-
book. Another shooter
declared on camera --
when the police was de-
taining him -- that no
one but Hindus would
have their say in India.
Kerala declares...

turnedfromChina’sWu-
han city.
The coronavirus out-
break, which originated
in China and spread to
more than 20 countries
across the world in the
last few weeks, has been
declared a global health
emergency by the World
Health Organisation.
“Third positive case
of Novel Coronavirus
patient, has been re-
ported in Kerala. The
patient has a travel his-
tory from Wuhan in
China. The patient has
tested positive for Novel
Coronavirus and is in
isolation in the hospi-
tal. The patient is stable
and is being closely
monitored,” the Health
Ministry said in a state-
ment today.
“The patient is un-
der treatment at the
Kanjangad District
Hospital in Kasara-
god,” Ms Shailaja said
this morning. “There
is nothing to panic.
The health officials led
by district medical offi-
cials are tracking sur-
veillance efforts. Con-
tract tracing for con-
firmed cases is under-
way,” she added.
Enough proof...
Addressing a press con-
ference here, Javadekar
raked up the issue of
Kejriwal “staying a
night at the Moga resi-
dence of Khalistan
Commando Force chief
Gurinder Singh during
the Punjab Assembly
polls”. “You knew it was
a militant’s house. Still,
you stayed there. How
much more evidence do
you need?” he said.
“Kejriwal is now ask-
ing with a sad face, ‘am
I a terrorist?’ You are a
terrorist and there is a
lot of evidence to prove
that. You yourself had
said you are an anar-
chist. There is not much
of a difference between
an anarchist and a ter-
rorist,” the senior BJP
leader said.
Flanked by Delhi
BJP chief Manoj Ti-
wari and Union minis-
ter Anurag Thakur, Ja-
vadekar said the Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP)
was supporting Sha-
heen Bagh, where slo-
gans of “Assam ko aza-
di”, “Jinnah wali aza-
di” were being raised.
“Supporting such slo-
gans is also terrorism”.
He alleged that Kejri-
wal stood with Jawa-
harlal Nehru Universi-
ty (JNU), where “an-
ti-India slogans were
raised, and did not
grant sanction to prose-
cute (those who raised
the slogans)”.
Anti-CAA...
The Prime Minister’s
comments come days
after a string of hate
speeches from his
ministers and party
leaders. Last Monday,
Union Minister Anu-
rag Thakur was
caught on camera at a
rally in northwest
Delhi, egging on a
crowd to chant a slo-
gan that calls for gun-
ning down “traitors”.
A day later, party MP
Parvesh Verma said:
“Lakhs of people gather
there (Shaheen Bagh).
They will enter your
houses, rape your sis-
ters and daughters, kill
them. There’s time to-
day... Modi-ji and Amit
Shah won’t come to save
you tomorrow”.
Yesterday, Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister
and BJP’s star cam-
paigner Yogi Aditya-
nath also have his ap-
proval to using bullets
to deal with dissenters.
Nitish, Shah...
Nitish’s equation with
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi is well known.
BJP and JDU leaders in
Bihar believe that any
decision regarding the
two parties is taken af-
ter a discussion be-
tween Modi and Kumar.
Recently, Shah has be-
come the public face of
the PM-Bihar CM
friendship. When a
number of BJP leaders
started questioning the
leadership of Kumar af-
ter the Lok Sabha elec-
tions, it was Shah who
clarified twice in public
that Kumar is the lead-
er of the NDA in Bihar
and it will go for the
2020 assembly elections
under his leadership.
Nitish had also recipro-
cated the gesture by re-
moving Prashant
Kishor and Pawan Ver-
ma from the party for
anti-BJP stand.

vigorously backing the
spreading of drugs in the
Indian state of Punjab,
thereby spoiling an entire

the debate on the Mo-
tion of Thanks on the

(Congress) create prob-
lems like Article 370

“vote bank politics”,

gress and DMK, walked

test Verma's controver-
sial remarks during a

themselves”.
“For how long will
they be able to hide a
mountain of truth be-
hind the bushes of

President himself has
said in a joint session
of Parliament that the
CAA is for giving citi-

ing anybody's citizen-

ere are three letters from elderly
eminenees whom I knew well.
My dear Natwar,
A line- which ought to have
come before, but advancing
years make one slack- to thank
you for your good and season-
able wishes, also for your nice
article on me; though am I all
that shy? My birthday festivi-
ties went well, and I enjoyed
them, and they ended in quite
a magnificent concert given by
the College Musical Society. I
keep very good health for my
age, and I hope you do for yours.
I have just finished B Rajan’s
(Joined IFS, 1948, Resigned,
1961) “The Dark Dancer”. What
do you think of it? I am much
impressed, I have seen a proof
copy of Choudhuri’s “Passage
to England”. What a talented
but spikey chap he is? He actu-
ally goes out of his way to warn
us British against the myth of
Indo-British friendship, which
I do think is a bit much. I must
try to find out something more
about him, apart from what he
himself tells.
Harsha is out of college and
working hard I fancy- any how
I don’t see as much of him as I
should like. Mrs Pandit has
passed with benignity. There
has been some good Indian
music. And I have tried to
talk to the Cambridge Maj-
lis, but the exigencies of in-
fluence have compelled us to
postpone till next term.
Oh! Yes, and Mahalenobis
(physicist, statistician and
member, Planning Commis-
sion) of Calcutta has become
Hon. Fellow of King’s College-
that’s all the strictly or semi-
strictly Indian news that I can
think of, so I will now conclude
with my love.

he EU and the
UK are now ne-
gotiating the
terms of their
new relation-
ship after Brexit. Food sup-
ply problems are a very
real potential problem, but
Britain is also having a
food-related identity cri-
sis: what will happen to
its cosmopolitan and
global diet? Will it end up
having to replace olive oil
with lard or gateau with
steamed pudding? Is it des-
tined to return to a diet of
roast beef – or Quorn, for
the vegetarians?
The question of what it
might mean to be both Brit-
ish and European, howev-
er, is one that has been
asked for longer than the
past three years. Our re-
search team is examin-
ing Britishness and Eu-
ropean identity, focusing
on the eating habits of
the English at the end of
the 18th century – the
first age of nationalism.
We started our project
when we came across a
book of menus – not yet
available online, sadly –
written by William Gorton,
the steward at Kew Palace.
His job was to keep track of
food bought and served at
the palace, since even
George III had to answer to
the taxpayer.
The menus reveal that
even though England and
France were often at war in
the 18th century, the Brit-
ish royal family ate a lot of
dishes with French-sound-
ing names. Dishes such as
“gateau a la duchesse” and
“mutton roulade” were fre-
quently on the tables of
King George and Queen
Charlotte, the equerries or
officers of the royal house-
hold and pages, and the
princesses and their gov-
erness.
For the royal house-
hold, French food was
not associated with a
specific European iden-
tity – indeed, “identity”
is a recent concept that
would have made little
sense to 18th-century
royals. Rather, French
food marked their high so-
cial status. At Kew, grooms
and servants were served
roasted meats: the plain,
hearty fare of the English
working people.
While many well-off
Britons dined happily
on French-inspired cui-
sine, it remained a com-
monly held view that
English food was more
honest than the food
served on the other side
of the Channel. Some
writers, for example,
disparaged French food
as “foreign kickshaws”,
a word supposedly de-
rived from the French
quelque chose, which
has come to mean a trin-
ket, but originally was
about foreign – French
– food. Yet, by the 1860s,
Mrs Beeton, the most Brit-
ish of cookery writers,
could describe “modern
cookery” as “greatly in-
debted to the gastronomic
propensities of our French
neighbours” – even offer-
ing a three-page lexicon of
French culinary terms
used in English.
French cuisine was not
the only foreign influence
we found at the king’s din-
ner table at Kew, although
it might have been the most
established. French dish-
es had been making their
way into the elite Eng-
lish diet since at least
the English translation
of Francois Pierre de La
Varenne’s The French
Cook in 1653. By the mid-
18th century, other Euro-
pean flavours were arriv-
ing in England via travel-
lers, particularly well-to-do
young men who extended
their education by taking a
“grand tour” of European
cultural sites.

My dear Natwar,
I was so glad to read your letter
of 22 November.
I shall indeed be very glad if you
can get me the N.Y.T review of your
anthology. I have not yet received
the copy of the book from the pub-
lishers. Sea mail takes more time.
I am not surprised you so much
like service under Smt. Indira Gan-
dhi. She is splendidly endowed with
all the graces of a good civilized
lady. She grew up under the exam-
ple of her gracious father.
I can never forget the moving
gesture of her affection when
she came and received my daugh-
ter at the Delhi railway station
(Mrs Devadas Gandhi), when I
took her to Delhi from Bombay
after she unexpectedly and cru-
elly lost her husband. Indira Gan-
dhi whom I did not except was at the
station and led my daughter to the
carlikeasister.Thetouchwasacon-
solation both to her and to me. This
was August 1957, when I had already
begun openly and severely to criti-
cise Jawaharlalji.

My dear Natwar,
Thank you for sharing our sorrow (Vijaya Lakshmi
Pandit is referring to the death of her brother, Jawaha-
rlal Nehru. He passed away on 27 May 1964). The tears
of his beloved India and indeed the world have been
ample evidence of his place in the hearts of his fel-
low men.
You are so right when you say he was the most beau-
tiful man in the world. Every action, every thought was
beautiful and one cannot but be thankful that he died
as he wished, in harne ss and in peace. In death the radi-
ance and serenity of his face were quite extraordinary.
We have much to live up to but I dare to believe the seeds
he planted will bear fruit.
I will write more later. This is merely to send you
my love.

Hundreds of right minded Indians must have hoped
that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister would
have severely reprimanded the Minister of State for
Finance and Member of the Lok Sabha Pravesh Sahib
Verma for their foul mouthed, obscene, filthy verbal
excesses.
The Election Commission’s response to these out-
rages has been feeble and inadequate. The two offenders
should have been barred from campaigning till Febru-
ary the 4th.

THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
CORONAVIRUS
WILL HIT
TOURISM AND
TRAVEL SECTOR
he spread of infectious diseases is
invariably linked to travel. Today,
tourism is a huge global business
that accounts for 10.4 per cent of
global Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) and 10 per cent of global employment.
Nothing seems to slow its growth as year-
over-year increases outpace the economy.
The United Nations World Tourism Or-
ganization is predicting further growth
of three per cent to four per cent in in-
ternational tourist arrivals for 2020,
with international departures worldwide
particularly strong in the first quarter
of this year.
But that was before a new coronavirus
(formally known as 2019-nCoV) hit China
and then very rapidly started spreading to
the rest of the world with 20 countries and
counting isolating cases.
Officials in China and those in the rest of
world have been much quicker to take more
drastic action after learning bitter lessons
from the SARS outbreak in 2003, which also
started in China. The impact on travel to
and from China of this new coronavi-
rus, however, has been devastating. Air-
lines, including Air Canada, have can-
celled all flights or significantly re-
duced the number of flights in and out
of China.
The severe travel restrictions imposed by
the Chinese government on its citizens and
the stern warnings from Foreign Affairs of-
fices, including Canada’s, to avoid all non-
essential travel to China and all travel to
Hubei province (Wuhan is its capital and
largest city) means that the economic impact
of this coronvirus will be felt in every corner
of the world and almost every sector of the
economy.
The market response has been swift,
with share prices of major airlines,
cruise lines and tourism companies drop-
ping several percentage points.
With the World Health Organization de-
claring the coronavirus a public health emer-
gency of global concern, Gloria Guevara,
president and CEO of the World Travel and
Tourism Council (WTTC) fears that this es-
calation could have a damaging and lasting
economic impact on the sector. She expressed
serious concerns that airport closures, flight
cancellations and shuttered borders often
have a greater economic impact.
Depending on how long the restrictions
and warnings are in place, losses could eas-
ily double of those in 2003. The pain will be
felt in every industry as tourism’s supply
chain involves everything from agricul-
ture and fishing to banking and insur-
ance. The hardest hit will be its core indus-
tries of accommodation, food and beverage
services, recreation and entertainment,
transportation and travel services.

ally because of Shiv

FATHER SON AT ODDS,
BUSINESS SUFFERS
An huge township that was being constructed
at Ajmer road has come under controversy.
The developer of this township, who is known
to be close to a powerful minister in the former
government, has been going through a rough
phase since the time he handed the reins of the
business to his son. Till the time the developer
was working, everything was good and the
minister even entered in a ‘business venture’
with him in his C-Scheme project. While the
man maintained relations, his son ensured he
exercised more ‘autocracy’ in dealings and thus
relationships soured between investors and the
developer. Now the father and son are at opposite
ends and a ‘cold war’ is going on between them.
Interestingly, a division of property is also on the
cards and the developer’s hotel at Tonk road and
old projects could fall in his younger son’s pocket.
BUILDERS’ UNITED
VENTURE FAILS
Another major land deal at Ajmer road
has failed owing to the pulling out of
a major investor in the deal. Two builders
from the city had decided to form a
venture and build a township at Ajmer
road. Transactions worth crores of rupees
were conducted, however their investor - a
foreign national - pulled his hands off the
deal and thus started the builders’ ‘fallout’.
The project failed and the ‘friendship’
started souring. Such is the situation
now that the business partners are now
fighting amongst themselves and settling
their accounts. Interestingly, individually
the duo are doing alright since one
‘partner’ is making a project on the Tonk
road while the other is running a hotel at
Shyam Nagar.

Chittorgarh: A case
has come to light at the
Birla Cement Works
plant in Chanderia of
Chittorgarh, where gov-

being stolen openly, at a
time when youth of the
area are craving for em-
ployment.
With the ban imposed
on mining at Birla Ce-

court, the court’s deci-
sion is proving to be a
boon for the manage-

did they start stealing
revenue, but the income
of big officers working
in the plant also in-
creased drastically.
They started purchas-

farmers in the area at
cheap rates.
It seems that the
Mines Department is
unaware of the matter
which may be why in-

done openly no action is
being taken.
New Delhi: The spend-

Finance Minister Nir-

that the government is

wide expectations that
the government would
pump-prime the econo-

“The attempt is to show
that we have had com-
plete thinking-through
and are taking the most
fiscally prudent route.
In today’s situation,
people may want the
government to ‘pump-
prime’ the economy,”
Sitharaman said.
“We are willing to spend
if we have to. But we
will not repeat past mis-
takes of splurging. We
are spending now with
a clear picture of asset
creation,” the Finance
Minister said.
Sitharaman also said
that money being spent
in the Budget is for as-
set creation. “We are
putting money where
assets will be created;
when government is
putting money into in-
frastructure, it would
have a cascading effect.
The money garnered
from the divestment
target would not go into
a revenue expenditure
item, but would create
infrastructure for the
economyandthiswould
have a multiplier ef-
fect,” Sitharaman said.
The Budget has not giv-
en anything sector-spe-
cific, but has given a
macro picture of the
economy, she said.
“Although Budget has
not given anything sec-
tor specific, it gives
blueprint of how we
want to take economy
forward. The Budget
was also about whether
we are being fiscally re-
sponsible or not,” Si-
tharman said.

Mining scam: Stay on arrest, nod to trial
Nizam Kantaliya
New Delhi: Two ac-
cusedof Rajasthan’sbig-
gest mining scam have
got temporary relief
fromtheSupremeCourt.
The court has stayed
Pankaj Gehlot and Shy-
am Sunder Singhvi’s ar-
rest till February 10.
However, both the ac-
cused will have to face
the trial after the SC re-
fused to grant stay on it.
Gehlot and Shyam
Sunder had filed SLP
against Rajasthan high
court order. The apex
court accepted their pe-
titions and converted
their arrest warrant is-
sued by special desig-
nated court for money
laundering cases into
bail warrant.
While, they got relief
from immediate arrest
but the Supreme Court
has asked enforcement
directorate (ED) to file
an affidavit about con-
duct of both the accused
i.e. when they skipped
the hearing in the lower
court. Both the accused
will now have to appear
before special designat-
ed court for money
laundering cases on
February 7.
However, the apex
court rejected Shyam
Sunder Singhvi’s SLP,
which he had with-
drawn. Shyam Sunder
had challenged Ra-
jasthan high court or-
der, which had refused
to stay on the special
money laundering
court’s cognizance of
the case against him.
Shyam Sunder had re-
quested the Supreme
Court that he wanted to
withdraw this petition
after which Justice U U
Lalit rejected his SLP.
Earlier, the single
bench of Justice Ashok
Gaur had quashed 11
petitions filed by for-
mer AS Ashok Singh-
vi, Pankaj Gehlot, Shy-
am Sunder Singhvi
and eight other ac-
cused on January 24.
They had challenged
the lower court’s deci-
sion to take cognizance
of corruption charges
against them and issue
arrest warrant against
them.Last month, the
special court for mon-
ey laundering cases
had declared Shyam
Sunder, Pankaj Gehlot,
Sanjay Sethi and
Dhirendra Singh ab-
sconder and issued
standing arrest war-
rant against them. Ge-
hlot, Sethi and Shyam
Sunder had already got
relief when the single
bench of Justice S P
Sharma rejected ED
court’s order to forfeit
their bail but asked
them to appear before
the ED court on Febru-
ary 17.
The ACB had un-
earthed corruption
racket in state’s min-
ing department in
2015. Despite, a central
government circular
to ban new mines allot-
ment in October 2014,
the accused had allot-
ted 653 mines between
November 2014 and
January 2015.
GUV @ PM’s RESIDENCE
Governor Kalraj
Mishra met
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi at
Prime Minister’s
residence in New
Delhi on Monday
evening. Governor
Mishra discussed
various issues

He also informed
the PM about the
innovations being
made in tribal
development and
higher education
in the state.
STRICT MONITORING: OFFICIALS
CAN NO MORE LEAVE SEATS
In an interesting move, the state employees
will undergo a major ‘overhaul’ in its current
practices. For one, the practice of leaving their
seats by junior employees will be stopped and
to enforce the same a ‘timing register’ will be
maintained wherein the officials will have to
feed in their in and out time while in office. A
respite for the lunch hours has been given but
apart from that, the employees cannot leave
their chairs vacant. Interestingly, a routine
monitoring of the register will also be carried
out by head of departments, principal secretar-
ies, divisional commissioners, collectors and so
on. It is now hoped that the new order brings
about a positive change in the functioning.

SENIOR-JUNIOR
SPAT TAKES A
NEW TURN
Churu District
Collector Sandesh
Nayak is in a bit of
a ‘pickle’. His recent
spat with his junior
officer - ADM Thori
- has become abine
of contention for the
Collector who had taken
‘pains’ to ensure that the
ADM is suspended from
work. However, now the
High Court has ordered
a stay in the suspension
which has resulted
in much ‘debacle’
for the Personnel
Department. Meanwhile
the Rajasthan
Administrative Service
(RAS) Asssociation is
also standing firmly
in Thori’s corner,
although as of now
the Association has
stayed its condemnation
proposal against the
Collector but it remains
to be seen how the
dispute pans out.

ment felt the need to re-
draw the lottery in
changed circumstanc-
es. Along with this, the

submit the detailed re-
port by February 7.

Jaipur: Today, Ranji
match will be played at
the Sawai Mansingh
Stadium in Jaipur
where the host Ra-
jasthan will lock horns
with Bengal under
Ashok Menaria’s cap-
taincy. The Rajasthan
team has won the last
two matches and will
be now looking for a
hat-trick. On Monday,
both the teams were
seen practicing at the
RCA Cricket Academy.
Although the perfor-
mance of Rajasthan
team in Jaipur has not
been a good one this
season, but the team is
very confident with the
victory from the last
two matches.
If we go with the re-
cords, three matches
out of 5 Ranji matches
played between Ra-
jasthan and Bengal
were draw.
Both the teams won a
single match each.
However, Rajasthan
has been waiting for
the victory over Bengal
for the last 16 years, be-
cause after 2003 Ra-
jasthan team has not
been able to beat Ben-
gal. All eyes will be on
Ashok Menaria who
has been playing a good
game and has been an
inspiration to young
ones in the team.

‘STRONGER&HUNGRIERFORSUCCESS’Melbourne: Novak
Djokovic returned to
No. 1 in the ATP rank-
ings Monday after win-
ning his eighth Austral-
ian Open title, while
Sofia Kenin’s first
Grand Slam trophy
boosted her to a career-
high No. 7 and made her
the leading American
on the WTA list.
All-conquering No-
vak Djokovic has said
that a turbulent child-
hood where he had to
queue for milk and
bread in war-torn Ser-
bia made him hungry
for success.
His eighth victory in
eight finals at Mel-
bourne Park handed
him a 17th Major to
move within three of
Roger Federer’s all-
time 20.
Asked how he
managed to keep win-
ning in pressure situa-
tions, Djokovic said it
stemmed from his early
life. “My upbringing
was in Serbia during
several wars during the
‘90s, difficult time, em-
bargo in our country
where we had to wait in
line for bread, milk,
water, some basic
things in life,” he said.
“These kind of things
make you stronger and
hungrier for success I
think in whatever you
choose to do.
