PM Narendra Modi, at a
rally here, accused the
Opposition of resorting
to vote bank politics and
attempting to turn India’s
majority community into
second-class citizens.
The PM alleged that
these parties plan to re-
write the Constitution to
reserve seats based on
religion, favoring Mus-
lims over SC, ST, and
OBC groups.
PM Modi criticised the
Samajwadi Party (SP)
and Congress, claiming
they have historically ne-
glected Purvanchal, fos-
tering poverty and mafia
dominance. He warned
that the I.N.D.I.A. bloc’s
tactics include creating
caste conflicts to weaken
communities and divert
attention from real is-
sues. MORE ON P 5

somewhat at a distance
from the Rajasthan

which is a hub for buses
plying to and fro mainly
for Delhi, Agra and oth-

which is opposite to

“We are not allowed

The majority of bus
operators have started
using parts of the tonk

ladmir Putin
appears far
s t r o n g e r
now than he
did at any
other time since Russia
launched a full-scale inva-
sion into Ukrainian terri-
tory in February 2022.
On the ground Russian
troops are pushing hard
into Ukrainian territory and
have captured several vil-
lages in the past two weeks
alone. Plenty of other indi-
cators, too, show Russia’s
growing strength and sug-
gest a future in which a
Ukrainian, and western,
defeat is becoming a more
realistic possibility.
On the domestic front,
over the past year, Putin
has faced down a mutiny
by his erstwhile ally Yevg-
eny Prigozhin, who was
subsequently killed in a
plane crash. His only other
major opponent, Alexei
Navalny, perished in a pe-
nal colony in Russia’s far
north earlier this year.
After being re-elected to
yet another term as Rus-
sian president, Putin has
also consolidated his alli-
ances with Iran and North
Korea, which supply Mos-
cow with much-needed
military equipment. This
may not be the company of
choice for a self-declared
great power, but it keeps
the Russian war machine
well-oiled – in sharp con-
trast to the problems that
Ukraine has faced over the
past six months with west-
ern military aid.
At the same time, Presi-
dent Xi Jinping of China
has reassured Putin of his
continuing support during a
high-profile state visit on
May 16-17 2024. The
seemingly strong bond be-
tween Moscow and Bei-
jing, and between Xi and
Putin personally, also ap-
pears to be more sustaina-
ble than the relationships
that Kyiv has with western
capitals. Within the EU,
Slovakia and Hungary have
repeatedly set out their op-
position to continued west-
ern support for Ukraine.
Russia’s offensive in the
Kharkiv region, which be-
gan on May 10 2024, has
enabled Moscow to cap-
ture several villages and
drive some 10 kilometres
deep into Ukraine. More
than 10,000 people have
been displaced amid con-
stant Russian bombing and
infantry assaults, adding
pressure on already
stretched humanitarian aid
operations in the area and
the city of Kharkiv in par-
ticular, which already hosts
200,000 displaced people.
Russian successes
around Kharkiv come in
the wake of territorial gains
elsewhere along the
1,000km-long frontline
over the past several
months. While not a game
changer in the Kremlin’s
war of aggression against
Ukraine, Moscow appears
to have significant momen-
tum behind its ground op-
erations as Kyiv struggles
to hold off Russian troops.
Russian advances this
year have all but wiped out
the Ukrainian gains from
last year’s counter offen-
sive. While Russia has only
captured one major town
—Avdiivka — since it took
Bakhmut a year ago, it has
captured some 500 square
kilometresofUkrainianter-
ritory over recent months.
As the Kremlin keeps up
the pressure, Ukraine con-
tinues to suffer from short-
ages of weapons and am-
munition even as more US
supplies are finally begin-
ning to reach the frontlines.
Future western support
for Ukraine is far less cer-
tain than it seemed a year
ago. Consequently, future-
proofing aid for Ukraine is
high on the agenda for
Kyiv’s allies, especially
with an eye to upcoming
presidential and congres-
sional elections in the US,
where Trump and his sup-
porters have suggested
cutting off aid to Ukraine.
President Joe Biden re-
mains staunchly commit-
ted to Kyiv for now, but it
is far from certain that he
will win a second term in
November this year.
WESTERN WAVERING
The EU has managed to
agree on a deal on how to
use the profits from frozen
Russian assets to support
Ukraine. By contrast, G7
countries struggle to agree
on how to finance ongoing
support for Ukraine, espe-
cially over the use of frozen
Russian assets in the west.
What appears as Rus-
sia’s strength is, in part at
least, Ukraine’s and the
west’s weakness. While
Russia has mercilessly
struck targets across
Ukraine for more than two
years now, Kyiv has been
constrained by the types of
weapons and munitions
supplied by the west and
by the rules of engagement
attached to these deliver-
ies, such as where they can
be used. This may slowly
be changing with more
arms deliveries now reach-
ing Ukraine with fewer
strings attached to how
Kyiv can use them.
The Kremlin has had no
qualms in using convicts at
the front and mobilising
large numbers of young
Russians for its war effort.
Or in sacrificing their lives
in holding off Ukraine’s
counter-offensive last year
and achieving its own ter-
ritorial gains this year.
By contrast, Ukraine
only updated its mobilisa-
tion laws in April, lower-
ing the age of conscription
from 27 to 25 years. This
has yet to translate into
tangible gains on the bat-
tlefield in the form of
fresh, well-trained and
equipped troops.
Putin makes his own de-
cisions, almost completely
unconstrained within his
political regime. Buoyed
by resources that Russia
can muster domestically
and source from his allies,
he has been able to recover
from strategic and tactical
mistakes. What passes for
strategy in the west is often
no more than the best deal
that can be agreed among
32 Nato and 27 EU mem-
bers who all push and pull
in different directions.

PUTIN’S
DILEMMA
Putin’s strength is relative,
rather than absolute. And
therein lie both a danger
and an opportunity for
Ukraine and the west.
More muddling through by
the west will make Putin
look stronger than he is
and could further increase
the pro-Russian narrative
of an unwinnable war for
Ukraine and the west. But if
Kyiv’s western allies finally
muster the will to provide
the resources Kyiv needs,
the balance of power
could decisively shift to
Ukraine’s advantage. Putin
makes his own decisions,
completely unconstrained
within his political regime.
Russia can muster domes-
tically source from his

recover from strategic

RISHI SUNAK IN TIGHT
POLITICAL SPOT
day after the Supreme Court refused to give
any direction to the Election Commission of
India, the poll body released data of absolute
number of voters who exercised franchise in the first
five phases. The much awaited disclosure is being
hailed as a victory of transparency. The release of
data came after the ECI was repeatedly questioned
for the delay in uploading the information on its web-
site. Motives were being attributed to the EC for not
sharing the absolute numbers as political parties sus-
pected foul play, which the Chief Election Commis-
sioner Rajiv Kumar called “unfounded doubts on the
electoral process”.
In the beginning questions were raised about the
purity of the electoral roll, then social media was
flooded with mostly unconfirmed reports doubting
EVMs, aimed at discrediting the voting machines.
Some political parties repeated their demand for re-
turn to ballot boxes. Later, doubts were cast over
turnout data on voter turnout. With all the data out,
doubting Thomases should now hold their peace.
A
s the UK gears up for the July 4 elections,
the Conservative Party under Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak faces a major political chal-
lenge. The resignation of 78 Tory MPs, including
high-profile figures like Michael Gove, Andrea
Leadsom, former Prime Minister Theresa May, and
Defence Minister Ben Wallace, casts a shadow over
the Indian-origin Sunak’s leadership and the party’s
electoral prospects. This mass exodus reflects inter-
nal discontent and suggests a lack of confidence in
the party’s direction and leadership.
Sunak, at 44, brings a fresh and modern approach
to the Conservative leadership. However, his efforts
have been marred by
economic challeng-
es, although inflation
has come down to 2.3
percent, and public
discontent with aus-
terity measures.
These factors have
eroded the party’s
traditional support
base and raised ques-
tions about its ability
to govern effectively.
On the other hand,
the Labour Party, led
by Keir Starmer, ap-
pears poised to capi-
talize on the Con-
servatives’ vulnera-
bilities. Starmer has
articulated a clear
policy agenda focusing on economic rejuvenation,
healthcare improvements, and social justice. La-
bour’s readiness with concrete plans and a vision for
the future positions it as a formidable contender.
The Conservative Party’s internal turmoil, coupled
with Labour’s robust policy framework, suggests that
Sunak is indeed staring at a potential defeat. While
nothing is certain in politics, the current indicators
point towards a significant shift in the British voters’
preference, potentially heralding the return of the
Labour Party government after 2010. The coming
weeks will be crucial in determining whether Sunak
can rally his party and stave off what appears to be
an impending electoral setback.

Union Home Minister
Amit Shah has said the
Naxal problem in the
country will end in the
next two-to-three years,
and except for a small
pocket in Chhattisgarh
the whole country is now
free from the menace.
In an interview with
PTI, Shah also said that
there is no presence of
the Maoists in the so-
called Naxal corridor —
from Pashupatinath to
Tirupati.
“Naxals were elimi-
nated from all over the
country. Once some peo-
ple used to say about the
Naxal corridor from
Pashupatinath to Tiru-
pati. Now, Jharkhand is
completely free from
Naxals. Bihar is com-
pletely free. Odisha, Tel-
angana and Andhra
Pradesh are also com-
pletely free. Maharashtra
and Madhya Pradesh are
free,” he said.
Shah said the Naxals
were still operating in
some pockets of Chhat-
tisgarh and could not be
eliminated there so far as
there was a Congress
government in the state in
the last five years.
He said since a BJP
government has assumed
power in the state five
months ago, work to free
Chhattisgarh from the
Naxals has started.
“I can tell you that in
the next 2-3 years -- I am
giving you an outer limit
-- the country will be free
from the Naxal prob-
lems,” the Union Home
Minister said.

the pivot of the Indian
economy, have now been
cleared. The Indian Mete-
orological Department
estimates that this time the
monsoon rains in the
country will be normal.
The intense heat in North
India in the month of May
has also confirmed these
estimates in a way. The
only factor affecting the
stock market now is the
election results to be de-
clared on June 4, in which
how many seats the NDA
gets and what is the posi-
tion of BJPalone in it, that
will affect the movement
of the stock market. Ex-
perts are still firm on the
fact that whatever be the
election result, whichever
government is formed, it
willdefinitelymakeefforts
throughpositivepoliciesto
give impetus to the coun-
try’s economy, which will
only be auspicious for the
Indian stock market.
After the trading ses-
sion ended on Friday,
there was an increase of
1493.36 points (2.02%)
in the BSE index last
week and the BSE index
closed at 75410.39 points,
while the NSE Nifty index
improved by 491.00
points (2.19%) and it
closed at 22957.10 points.
Last week, the special
thing was that the BSE in-
dex achieved the success
of reaching a record point
of 75636.50 points and a
Nifty index of 23026.40,
but due to profit booking,
the market declined from
its highest level. Midcap
and smallcap indices were
also not untouched by the
ongoing bullishness in the
market, but it is a different
matter that the scope of
their rise was weaker than
that of the basic index. A
major reason for the rise
in the stock market is the
surplus of Rs 2.11 lakh
crore given to the govern-
ment by the Reserve Bank
of India.Talking about the
bullion market, this week
there was a good improve-
ment in the bullion market
on the strength of the de-
mand coming out in the
international markets and
there was a significant rise
in the prices of gold and
silver, but on Wednesday
itself, the euphoria of the
rise in gold and silver sub-
sided and the period of
decline in metals started
which continued till Sat-
urday. Comparatively,
while gold prices fell by
Rs 2400 per 10 grams this
week, silver prices de-
clined by Rs 250 per kg
and the price of 24 carat
gold in Jaipur decreased
from Rs 76,000 per ten
grams to Rs 73,600 per
ten grams and silver fell
from Rs 92,100 per kg to
Rs 91,850 per kg. Traders
say that the reason for
weakness in gold prices is
the contraction of the fu-
tures market, while profit
booking is going on in
silver. Traders believe
that since there is an im-
proving trend in the met-
al, there is a possibility of
further improvement in
the prices of gold and sil-
ver soon, but the sub-
scription in the market is
very weak.
Regarding the market
trend this week, traders
say that there will be ups
and downs in the market
and in such a situation in-
vestors need to remain
cautious. This week, the
monthly cut of the futures
market is to take place,
which is expected to have
an impact on both the in-
dex and the stock market.
Traders still believe that
due to the ongoing fluc-
tuations in the market, in-
vestors will get many op-
portunities to make new
investments till June 4.

Amid the scorching heat,
former Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot reminisced
about the 90s on Sunday.
He wrote on X that dur-
ing that time, heatwave
patients were given relief
by lowering their tem-
perature with ice blocks.
He also appealed to the
public to leave their
homes only when neces-
sary and urged the gov-
ernment to make com-
prehensive arrangements
to address the heatwave
issues.
“I remember that once
in the 1990s, the temper-
ature at some places in
Rajasthan had crossed 50
degrees Celsius. Even
then, there were casual-
ties due to heat stroke.
Ice blocks were brought
to hospitals for the treat-
ment of heat stroke, and
the temperature in the
wards was reduced to
treat it,” he said.
Gehlot urged the gov-
ernment to make com-
prehensive arrangements
to deal with heat-related
problems.
Ashok Gehlot attends the ‘Antim Ardas’ of the late mother of
Maninder Singh Bagga at Gurdwara Sahib Guru Singh Sabha in
Jaipur on Sunday.

constituency, met with businessmen and entrepreneurs
at the Jagran Vidhan Sabha. They expressed clear support
for the Modi government, praising Modi Ji’s leadership.
The presence of Cabinet colleague Shri Kailash Choudhary
added to event’s prestige. Former district president Shri
Gaurav Khanna orchestrated the notable coordination of
the programme,” tweeted Shekhawat.

t a rather forma-
tive stage in my
life, owing to a
less-than-ideal
dynamic with
my father, I developed a strong
notion about what kind of par-
ent I would be. I’m not sug-
gesting I had fully formed or
specific ideas. I did however
understand a broader ethos that
I, decades on, would try and
inculcate into my parenting
style – Friendliness.
As I grew older and was
away from home at boarding
school, more realizations
dawned. It came to me that as a
child of my parents, I craved
their endorsement in two spe-
cific facets. One, that they Ac-
cept me, with all my flaws, tal-
ents, desires, interests, hopes,
fears. Two, that they Validate
me, for all my triumphs, modest
or monumental. Whether these
approvals I sought came my
way or not is a different matter;
they made me understand the
mind of a child.
My wife Anuja and I had
Krisha, our now seven-year-
old daughter when I was near-
ly 38! Late, certainly by the
standards of Indian society. At
her birth in the delivery room,
I felt ecstatic. A euphoria I had
hitherto not experienced, per-
haps because I had prayed
nightly through our pregnancy
for a girl (I confess to not being
particularly fond of boys)! Im-
mediately after, there was a
storm of emotions ranging
from trepidation to abject fear!
Perhaps the giant in me hadn’t
had enough faith in his genteel
side and was alarmed at some
rather silly, almost comical
scenarios that included, and
were not limited, to physically
crushing this diminutive, por-
celain-like newborn!
Ironically, my mother, this
delicate, just-arrived grandma,
despite her own vast experi-
ence of having brought up us
two brothers, was also sailing
the same rickety boat on chop-
py waters! We quickly snapped
out of our stupor of apprehen-
sion and set to work, swad-
dling, cradling and all the rest
of it. And guess what? We
didn’t break the baby!
Through Krisha’s initial few
months, as cycles of feeding,
burping, sleeping, pooping,
and changing repeated end-
lessly, my confidence climbed.
Seeing my wife Anuja be such
a natural, like only a mother
can be, also instilled surety. It
bolstered my faith in my abili-
ties and I was quickly ‘han-
dling’ my daughter, rocking
her in my arms as I serenaded
her to sleep. That she was
lulled into a comforting state or
tortured into submission by my
singing; the jury is still out on
that!
As Krisha became older, one,
two, three, I watched in utter
fascination, as this tiny being
took shape and form, developed
likes and dislikes, took her vir-
ginalsteps,andthenranintomy
arms as she doddered like a
miniature-elderly person. The
love, the warmth, the pleasure
and the joy were unbridled and
my heart swelled with pride
prejudice! As Krisha began to
speak, which admittedly was
early and plentiful, perhaps a
manifestation of Anuja I be-
ing Writers, the former having
read and spoken to Krisha copi-
ously from the time she was
conceived and in the tummy, to
the latter, me, being as verbose
as I tend to be; it was extremely
entertainingtowitnessaStewie-
like (the adult trapped in a
child’s body from the iconic se-
ries Family Guy) being in our
midst,spoutingphrasesandsen-
tences that belonged to a much,
much older individual.
I noticed that there were
many things I was doing
wrong. Despite being an Edu-
cator, I would, for instance, be
on my phone and expect and
instruct Krisha to read. My pa-
tience too would often be test-
ed and rear its ugly head by
being snappy and dismissive
when I felt that I had almost
‘lost’ my wife, my best friend,
to Krisha!Anuja compelled me
to seek therapy and I slowly
began to understand my behav-
ioural follies. We are all, al-
ways works in progress, and I
was no different. I did, how-
ever, albeit over a long time,
calm myself. I became more
patient, more aware, and more
sensitive; qualities that are still
deficient but I believe they
continue to build.
Once at a fun brunch with
friends, a rather innocent little
boy, a peer of Krishna’s, de-
cided to stroke her cheek. I was
in a state of rage and immedi-
ately reprimanded him and re-
buked the mother too! I later
realized how immature that
was and am happy to report
that I have journeyed to a point
where I am more in control. A
friend of Krisha’s from school
recently told me to my face
that he didn’t like me and I was
cool as a cucumber. The same
boy also rather fancies Krisha
and keeps stroking her cheeks,
calling her “Cutie”!
That too, doesn’t
bother me in the
least.
Speaking of
school, there
have been var-
ious learnings
there too!
Krisha was
three when
the COV-
ID-19 pan-
demic hit and we with-
drew her from school
because she seemed
in no mood to at-
tend instruc-
tion-heavy
online classes.
We had enough
faith in our parenting and kept
her unenrolled at any school
for two years! We then put her
in a wonderful Waldorf system
school where she currently en-
joys the freedom and liberty of
learning through experiment,
experience and free play.
Learnings? That each child
and his/her disposition and re-
sulting needs are different.
Those decisions need to be
taken with careful observation
and ownership of these unique
personality traits. Most impor-
tantly, there is no need to place
undue importance on an edu-
cational institution; after all,
parents also have a huge re-
sponsibility and ought to be
able to help shape their chil-
dren into independent, good
human beings.
Speaking of good human
beings, pets have been part and
parcel of Krisha’s life since her
arrival. Our two cats and dogs
have been her constant com-
panions. She’s never known
any different. Despite several
well-meaning warnings to
keep them apart, especially af-
ter her birth, Krisha was left
amongst Mojo, Zach and Zee-
zee, her two brothers and sis-
ters from other mothers spe-
cies, from day one. They never
put a finger on her. She consid-
ers them, at times her play-
things, at other times her nem-
esis, and in still other instanc-
es, they cuddle, coddle, cosy
up and sleep together. Typical
sibling behaviour. Learnings?
Pets sensitize children and or-
ganically imbue a sense of
sharing, extremely relevant in
today’s climate of nuclear fam-
ilies and single children.
Being a dad is a lifelong pur-
suit. And not unlike any life-
long pursuit, it presents a pot-
pourri of emotions evolution.
While I relish Krisha’s move, I
worry for her future. While I
abhor her present aesthetic
choices,Iindulgeherbybuying
her that garish sparkly gown
she’s longingly seeking. While
Ilaughathernon-sensicaljokes
and stories, performances and
magic shows, I cry a little each
time she leaves for school or
even falls asleep! Not to belittle
the illness, it is a rather schizo-
phrenic existence as a father.
Having said all this, if there
was one MantraI were to leave
you with, it is this. Observe
your child. Behave the way
you want them to by example.
Accept your child for anything
or everything he or she is, and
is not. Celebrate your child by
always validating him or her.
Don’t panic. Try and stay
calm. There’s always a solu-
tion. And never forget the in-
credible, thankless, tiresome,
relentless work that your
spouse is putting in at the cost
of great sacrifice. So be sensi-
tive, helpful and grateful. All
the best Dads!
