Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Shashikant Sharma
rime minister
Narendra Modi
was the first
chief minister
of Gujarat to
have ruled for
more than 12 continuous
years. The way he has
completed eight years in
office of prime minister,
he looks set to surpass
Jawahar Lal Nehru, who
has the distinction of be-
ing at the highest position
for close to 17 years. He
may have served half the
tenure than Nehru but his
achievements have placed
him among the most pow-
erful politicians in the
world. Be it handling glob-
al pandemic like Covid-19
or Russia-Ukraine war,
Modi has emerged as an
undisputed towering
world leader whom the
entire globe looks upon.
The supremacy of India
was strongly felt in every
spectrum with Modi lead-
ing the light.
At home also, Modi en-
sured a safe and strong
country for Indians with
mitigating all kinds of
threats from neighbours.
For that the role of his
‘ManFriday’AmitShahis
significant. Not only as
the country’s home minis-
ter but also as the princi-
pal strategist, trouble
shooter and Chanakya of
BJPwhichmadetheparty
an invincible political
force. The duo compli-
mentsandsupplementsso
well that even the strong-
est of their detractors
can’tseeanyonereplacing
them in near future.
It’s Modi and Shah that
make “double engine” ki
sarkar, which has put the
country on the high accel-
erator belt.
The country, which
came out of the throes of
deadly Covid-19, is back
on the growth path with
an aim to achieve the $5
trillion economy. Modi’s
mantra sabka saath sabka
vikas has started doing
the trick for the country
.
It’s the sheer charisma
of Modi that the economy
which saw growth for the
first time in four decades
in the Covid-hit 2020, is
now estimated to grow at
8.9 per cent in 2021 fol-
lowed by another growth
wave of 8.2% in 2022. Modi
has strengthened the pil-
lars of economy so that
even the impact of Russia
Ukraine war failed to
make a dent in Indian
economythewayithasleft
other strong global econo-
mies in tatters. Turn to P8

TOP TWEETS
ARYAN KHAN
GETS A CLEAN
CHIT FROM NCB,
BUT TRAUMA
WILL HAUNT HIM
fter he was put in jail
for 20 days the Nar-
cotics Control Bu-
reau has given actor
Shah Rukh Khan’s
son Aryan Khan a clean chit.
The NCB has stated in its final
charge-sheet that no drug was
found on the person of the Bol-
lywood actor’s son. Five others
who were nabbed along with
Aryan on October 2, 2021 in the
infamous raid on a cruise ship
headed from Mumbai to Goa
have also been let off. From the
very outset the arrest of Aryan
was being looked at as a gross
misuse of power by a certain
NCB officer who led the raid was
later shunted out. The case was
thentransferredtoaDelhi-based
Special Investigation Team.
The NCB asserted that the SIT
carried out the probe in an ob-
jective manner which must be
appreciated but the trauma of
Aryan Khan and the officer who
was the cause of it is not being
mentioned. Some accountabili-
ty has to be fixed.
A
ihar Chief Minis-
ter Nitish Kumar
has once again
raised the ticklish
issue of caste cen-
sus to stump the Bharatiya
Janata party
. Opposition par-
ties like the Rashtriya Janata
Dal are also of the view that
a caste census is much need-
ed in the country. Last year
Tejashvi Yadav of the RJD
hadgoneontoaskthat“when
animals and plants are count-
ed, what is the problem in
counting humans”? He based
his argument on the Mandal
Commission report which,
when made public by former
Prime Minister VP Singh
more than 30 years ago, in-
formed the people about dif-
ferent castes in the country.
Tejashvi wanted to know
why caste-based census can-
not be done and how welfare
schemes can be implemented
without scientific data on
caste census.
Nitish Kumar recently an-
nounced that his government
would start work on caste
census after consulting all
parties. A date for an all-par-
ty meet to arrive at a consen-
sus on the sensitive issue is
yet to be decided. Not all par-
ties, especially the BJP, are
open to the idea of Nitish
who had led a delegation to
meet the Prime Minister on
the issue. The BJP is main-
taining an ambivalent ap-
proach. The Centre is op-
posed to the move on the
ground that it may cause di-
visions in society
.
The Mandal report saw the
rise of caste-based politics
and job reservations. While a
caste-based census would
help in better implementa-
tion of affirmative action, it
may also deepen the caste
divide. With politics driven
by castes, meeting the aspira-
tions of various caste groups
would be a tall order for the
government.
NITISH PLAYS CASTE
CENSUS CARD AGAIN
Nitish Kumar recently
announced that his
government would start
work on caste census
after consulting all
parties. A date for an all-
party meet to arrive
at a consensus on the
sensitive issue is yet
to be decided
B
t gives me great pride as In-
dian to say that India is the
only country in the world
that liberated Bangladesh
with surrender of fully
armed one Lakh Pakistani
troops in just 14 days. Even
super powers have failed to
do that. The war in Ukraine
has gone beyond 80 days,
much against the expecta-
tions of the world and cer-
tainly, that of Russia.
WHOWINS,WHOCARES!!
Every nation state has so far
played the game to it’s nation-
al interest. The US set up the
Ukraine conflict way back,
with Eastward expansion of
NATO. Ukraine has been
made the sacrificial lamb to
weaken Russia and deplete
the threat to Europe and
NATO. Initially, they lured
Ukraine away from Russia,
almost instigated Putin and
when Russia attacked, no
NATOandEUmember joined
hands to defend Ukraine. A
scan of major players in this
game and their aim to benefit
fromthiswararediscussedin
the succeeding narrative.
UKRAINE
The biggest loser in this war
will be Ukraine only
. Ukraine
could not understand the
games of western countries
and played along till the gal-
lows. Unfortunately, it‘s still
going along the garden path.
Whosoever wins, Ukraine
will be severely mauled.
Zelensky is being foolhardy
by pressing on against Russia
at the behest of NATO. When
USA and NATO did not come
to defend him against Rus-
sian aggression, he should
have understood their game
and saved the destruction of
his country
. If the war esca-
lates to weapons of mass de-
struction, Ukraine will find
itself at ground ZERO.
Apart from major influx of
weapons, war equipment and
logistics aid, large number of
mercenaries are operating in
Ukraine. After the war, these
will find their way to terror-
ist organizations and
Ukraine with weak adminis-
tration will provide safe
sanctuaries, for terrorists.
RUSSIA
Russia claims itself to be the
politicalheirandsuccessorof
the USSR. After Crimea War
in2014,unabletodefenditself,
Ukraine started romancing
with NATO, which irked Rus-
sia and hence Putin invaded
Ukraine. Russia has acted in
it’s national interest before
the enemy knocks at it’s door.
Russia had predicted to
wrap up Ukraine war by
swift blitzkrieg operations
resultingindefeatof Ukraine
forces and surrender of
Zelensky Govt. Unfortunate-
ly, that did not happen and
the war is now dragged to al-
most three months without
tangible gains. Russia is now
looking for a face saving exit.
If USA and Europe corner
Putin, he may well use weap-
ons of mass destruction.
This may lead to a riposte
from the West and likely to
snowball into a larger nucle-
ar confrontation.
USA NATO
It’s interesting to note that
America has never fought a
war on it’s own soil. Destruc-
tion of Ukraine is a small
price for it in it’s quest for
‘The Superpower tag’. They
have managed to weaken
their primary foe (Russia),
since cold war days, without
firing a bullet from it’s soil.
Ukraine is just part of collat-
eral damage for them, which
they really don’t care.
Economic Sanctions are
double edged weapons. After
the initial fall, ruble is rising
again. Russia and friendly
countries are finding alter-
native to SWIFT banking
system. Russia is using oil,
gas and gold as weapons
against sanctions. Europe
also has been hit with record
inflation and energy crisis.
CHINA
China is maintaining neutral
stance and it has not openly
sided with Russia. When
Russia is back to wall and will
request China for financial
and military help, PRC will
extract it’s pound of flesh, for
the help at that time. It’s also
keenly watching US and
NATO reaction to Russian in-
vasion, before it makes up it’s
mind on annexation of Tai-
wan. Prolonged war is in fa-
vour of China, so that USA
and Europe exhaust them-
selves in Ukraine, thereby
helping China to catapult it-
self to center stage of world
politics.
INDIA
India has taken a path of
principled neutrality
. So far,
India has been able to tread
this thin line with great fi-
nesse. It’s because of suc-
cessful diplomacy by India
that foreign dignitaries from
all over the world are making
a bee line to New Delhi. It’s a
matter of pride that every-
one wants India to play an
active role in mediation and
help to end the war, as soon
as possible.
PM Narendra Modi is
master at converting threats
into opportunities. He has
kept India’s national inter-
ests supreme. Firstly, he
evacuated Indians from
Ukraine with perfection, got
fuel at reduced rates and
also enhanced the image of
the country, during this cri-
sis. He has won accolades
even from Prime Minister of
Pakistan. India is all set to
play a pivotal role in the
world geopolitics, post
Ukraine war.
CONCLUSION
The Russian invasion in
Ukraine isn’t just Russian
and Ukrainian affair. Moreo-
ver, the rest of the world is
also adversely affected be-
cause of Russian invasion
and Western sanctions on
Russia. It has the potential to
escalate to nuclear holocaust.
Certainly, it will reshape the
global landscape and a new
world order will emerge post
Ukraine war.

New Delhi: PM Modi on Friday stated that eight years ago his authorities
started implementing new mantras of good governance in India following the
trail of minimal authorities – most governance. “This was the time eight years
ago when we started implementing new mantras of good governance in India.
Following the path of minimum government, and maximum governance, we
have made ease of living, and ease of doing business a priority. We connected
every citizen of the country with the facilities and welfare schemes by moving
forward on the path of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas‘,” he said.

Turtuk: As many as
seven Indian Army sol-

travelling in skidded
off the road and fell in
the Shyok river in the
Turtuk sector of
Ladakh on Friday.
There were 26 soldiers
in the bus, which was
moving from the Tran-
sit Camp in Partapur to
a forward location in
sub-sector Hanif.
The accident took
place at 9 am around 25
km from Thoise. The
bus fell to a depth of
around 50-60 feet, re-
sulting in injuries to
all occupants. The
Army officials further
informed that the in-
jured were evacuated
to the 403 Field Hospi-
tal at Partapur and
surgical teams from
Leh have moved to Par-
tapur.
Mumbai: A Special In-
vestigation Team of the
Narcotics Control Bu-
reau (NCB) has dropped
Aryan Khan, son of Bol-
lywood actor Shah Rukh
Khan, and five others
from its chargesheet
filed on Friday in con-
nection with a drugs
bust onboard a cruise
ship off the Mumbai
coast last October. Ary-
an and 19 others were
arrested by the NCB’s
Mumbai zonal unit on
October 3, 2021 on charg-
es that they were all
“’intrinsically connect-
ed” to a conspiracy in-
volving drugs.
In a statement Fri-
day, the NCB said, “SIT
carried out its investi-
gation in an objective
manner. The touch-
stone of the principle
of proof beyond rea-
sonable doubt has been
applied.” More on P7
New Delhi: A Delhi
court awarded four-
year imprisonment and
a Rs 50 lakh fine to for-
mer Haryana chief
minister Om Prakash
Chautala in a dispro-
portionate assets case
on Friday
.
When the Indian Na-
tional Lok Dal leader
failed to satisfactorily
account for the assets
found by the CBI to be
disproportionate to his
legitimate sources of in-
come between 1993 and
2006, he was convicted
by special judge Vikas
Dhull on May 21. The
disproportionate assets
were calculated to be
worth Rs 6.09 crore, as
per the chargesheet
filed on March 26, 2010.
Chautala’s lawyers
had requested the court
to pass a lenient sen-
tence considering his
medical condition.
However, the CBI
pushed for maximum
punishment. “The per-
son in this case is a pub-
lic figure and giving
minimum punishment
would send a wrong
message. He does not
have clean anteced-
ents,” CBI said.

Addressing a press conference Friday, S N Pradhan, Di-
rector General of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), said
that Aryan Khan is not a part of any international drug
cartel nor is there any conspiracy. Pradhan said, “The
SIT formed to look into the probe done by our Mumbai
NCB team found irregularities in the investigation. It
was not a joint conspiracy done by 14 people and so the
conspiracy section has not been added. We cannot base
the conspiracy charge merely on WhatsApp chats.”
Mumbai: Hailing the clean chit to Aryan Khan, the
ruling NCP in Maharashtra on Friday asked who
would be held responsible for the trauma he suf-
fered. Ally Congress alleged that the entire case was
part of a “larger conspiracy” to topple the Maha
Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, in which it shares
power with the Shiv Sena and NCP.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has asked the
government to initiate a probe against former NCB
officer Sameer Wankhede for “shoddy investigation”
while probing the drugs-on-cruise case in which film
star Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan was arrested last
year. Action has also been initiated in connection with
his fake caste certificate matter, the sources added.

Delhi HC seeks Centre’s
stand on challenge to
provisions of surrogacy law
New Delhi (PTI): The
Delhi High Court has im-
posed a cost of `50,000 on
the Delhi Subordinate
Services Selection Board
(DSSSB) for the delay in
processing the case of a
woman, who was de-
clared a successful can-
didate for the post of as-
sistant teacher in a gov-
ernment school, on an
erroneous assumption
that she failed to submit
documents despite two
opportunities granted.
The high court said
the woman has been con-
strained to approach the
Central Administrative
Tribunal (CAT) as well
as this court without any
fault of hers and that the
financial loss having
been caused to her
should be compensated
in some measure.
“In the circumstances,
instead of directing pay-
ment of back wages, es-
pecially because the peti-
tioner has not joined the
services till date, the
court imposes costs of
`50,000 to be paid to the
petitioner by DSSSB,” a
bench of Justices Najmi
Waziri and Swarna Kan-
ta Sharma said.

Chandigarh:Assembly
elections in Haryana
are far away but politics
over it has already in-
tensified as Congress,
BJP, AAP, and JJP are
all expressing their
‘power’. Politics has in-
tensified after the Con-
gressgavethecommand
in the hands of Bhupin-
der Singh Hooda, who,
expressing his power,
has brought seven for-
mer MLAs and minis-
ters together in the Con-
gress. In this sequence,
he is holding a big rally
in Fatehabad on May 29,
where some more lead-
ers will be included in
the Congress. Its prepa-
rations are going on in
full swing and it is be-
ing said that this will be
the biggest rally of the
Congress. Through this
rally, Hooda is showing
his strength not only to
his party, but also to
leaders of BJP, JJP, and
INLD.
Aam Aadmi Party
leader Arvind Kejriwal
is going to hold a rally
on the same day a Hoo-
da’s rally
. It is being told
that in this rally, he will
include the great crick-
eter Kapil Dev in the
party
. Keep in mind Ka-
pil Dev was born in
Chandigarh and he
used to play cricket for
Haryana. He is the big-
gest icon of sports in
India. In response to
Congress and AAP’s
rallies, Chief Minister
Manohar Lal Khattar is
also holding a rally in
Sirsa on the same day.
Keep in mind that Sirsa
is the area under the
influence of Dushyant
Chautala, leader of
Jannayak Janata Party,
which is a partner in
Haryana government.
But Chautala will not
be there in the BJP ral-
ly as he is also holding
a rally in Tohana that
day. In this way, on
April 29, there will be a
show of strength of all
the four major parties
of Haryana. It is being
said that the people
who gather in the
rally have to make a lot
of effort and the per
person fee has in-
creased significantly

New Delhi (PTI): India
has the potential to be-
come a non-alcoholic
beverage hub and the
country’s non-alcoholic
beverage market is ex-
pected to touch a mar-
ket size of `1.47 lakh
crore by 2030, says a re-
port.
According to the re-
port by economic policy
think tank ICRIER,
“the size of the market
was estimated at `671
billion (`67,100 crore)
in 2019, which is pro-
jected to reach around
`1,472.33 billion
(`1,47,233 crore) in 2030,
in the realistic scenar-
io.” “India has the po-
tential to become a non-
alcoholic beverage hub,
given its endowments
of raw materials, la-
bour and policy support
for encouraging food
processing in the coun-
try,” the report said.
Bottled water and car-
bonated soft drinks
still account for the
bulk of the non-alco-
holic beverages sector,
the report said, adding
that the market for juic-
es, energy drinks, tea,
milk and coffee-based
beverages and organic
drinks is expanding.
In India, domestic
consumption and ex-
ports are low, compared
to ASEAN countries
and there is
enough
space to grow for the
non-alcoholic beverage
industry. The study
found that the non-alco-
holic beverage sector
contributes significant-
ly to the Indian econo-
my in terms of value
addition and job crea-
tion.
“The total job crea-
tion from this sector is
estimated to be 6.91
lakh which includes
employment creation
both in the upstream
and downstream opera-
tions,” the study said.

There’s risk of high wholesale price inflation putting pressure on retail inflation:Reserve Bank
RBI warns of high WPI fuelling inflation
Mumbai (PTI):
Sounding a note of
caution, the Reserve
Bank said on Friday
said there is a risk of
high WPI putting
pressure on the retail
inflation, albeit with
a lag. In its annual
report, the RBI said
that the cost-push
pressures from high
industrial raw mate-
rial prices, transpor-
tation costs and glob-
al logistics, and sup-
ply chain bottlenecks
continue to impinge
on core inflation.
“The substantial
wedge between
wholesale and retail
price inflation
amidst a sharp rise
in manufactured
products’ inflation
poses the risk of a
possiblepassthrough
of input cost pres-
sures to retail infla-
tion with a lag, al-
though slack in the
economy is muting
the pass-through,”
the central bank
noted.
Looking at ‘pros
cons’ of intro
of digital currency
Mumbai (PTI): RBI on
Friday said it is look-
ing at pros and cons of
introduction of a virtual
currency in the country
and it will adopt a graded
approach for launching
the central bank digital
currency. “The Reserve
Bank is engaged in the
introduction of a central
bank digital currency in
India. The design of CBDC
needs to be in conformity
with the stated objectives
of monetary policy, finan-
cial stability and efficient
operations of currency
and payment systems,”
it said in the report. The
Reserve Bank has been
looking at the pros and
cons of introduction of
CBDC in India, it said in
its report.
‘STRUCTURAL REFORMS ESSENTIAL FOR INDIA’
Mumbai (PTI): Mak-
ing a strong case for
structural reforms, the
Reserve Bank on Friday
said they are essential
for sustained, balanced
and inclusive growth,
and also to deal with
the after-effects of the
pandemic. RBI also
stressed that the future
path of growth would
be conditioned by ad-
dressing supply-side
bottlenecks, calibrat-
ing monetary policy to
bring down inflation
and boosting capital

‘Banks need to
support growth’
Mumbai (PTI): The
Reserve Bank on
Friday said the banks
would need to support
growth while being
watchful of the credit
behaviour of entities
whose loans were
restructured during
the pandemic period to
arrest slippages. Banks
had extended morato-
rium on repayment of
loans and restructured
advances to business-
es to help them com-
bat the impact of the
COVID pandemic and
subsequent lockdowns
to check the spread of
the virus. The RBI said
the banking sector has
witnessed improved
financial parameters
despite the COVID-19
pandemic.
India-UK FTA could
be ready by Diwali
London (PTI): The
way things are pro-
gressing between the
two negotiating teams,
a free trade agreement
(FTA) between India
and the UK could be
ready by Diwali with-
out the need for an in-
terim early harvest
agreement, said Com-
merce Industry
Minister Piyush Goy-
al. The minister ar-
rived in London from
the World Economic
Forum in Davos to
stock-take and inter-
act with stakeholders
and business people
ahead of the fourth
round of FTA negotia-
tions, set for June 13 in
the UK. Goyal pointed
to the FTAs concluded
at speed with the UAE
and Australia as a sign
of things to come.
“Canada is pro-
gressing well towards
an early harvest agree-
ment. With the UK, we
had agreed to do an
early harvest agree-
ment – basically, to
grab the low-hanging
fruits and leave the
more difficult ele-
ments for the next
stage and give the peo-
ple of both countries
the confidence that
this agreement is a
win-win,” the minis-
ter said.
“But the way things
are progressing, we’ll
actually land up doing
a full FTA with the UK
by Diwali. I have had
very good meetings on
it,” he said.
Diwali in October
was set as a timeline
for a draft FTA after
British Prime Minis-
ter Boris Johnson’s
talks with Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi
during his visit to In-
dia last month.
Asked about the
points of contention
in the path of such a
tight timeline, Goyal
said: “Our approach is
that we are very hon-
est and upfront in our
constraints, yet will-
ing to be sensitive to
the concerns of the
other country
.”
Goyal: India
safe place for
defence mfg
London: There is
a lot of interest
among interna-
tional companies
for defence
manufacturing in
India because the
world sees India
as not only a big
marketplace but
also a safe place to
work, Piyush Goyal
said. “The whole
world realises
that India is a big
market place, a
safe place to work
with in terms of
manufacturing in
defence equip-
ment, particularly
because we don’t
insist on technol-
ogy transfer, we
even allow coveted
technologies to
be owned fully by
foreign investors,”
said Goyal.

India’s economic recov-
ery from the COVID-19
pandemic likely stum-
bled again in the first
quarter of this (calen-
dar) year (Q4FY22) pri-
marily due to Omicron-
related restrictions and
higher inflation, a Reu-
ters poll showed.
Growth in Asia’s
third-largest economy
was pencilled in at 4.0%
for the January-March
quarter from the same
period a year ago in a
May 23-26 Reuters poll
of 46 economists, down
from 5.4% in Q4 2021. If
realised, that would be
the slowest in a year,
and a third consecutive
quarter of weaker
growth.
“While the move-
ment restrictions were
short-lived, other head-
winds from global sup-
ply shortages and high-
er input costs also im-
peded the pace of ex-
pansion,” Rahul Bajor-
ia, chief India econo-
mist at Barclays said.
Forecasts for the
data, due at 1200 GMT

The NCB SIT has found

The NCB on Friday
filed a nearly 6,000-

against 14 accused in
this case, even as it did
not charge six, includ-

“We have filed the

26 days in jail before
getting bail in the case,
NCB deputy director

“fallacious”.
“His friend denied
that he carried drugs
for Aryan Khan. In fact,
he told the SIT that Ary-

no drugs should be

some fish, fishing nets
and equipment, the
BSF statement added.
The BSF had
launched an intensive
search of the creek
area following the sei-
zure of an abandoned
fishing boat in Harami
Nala on Wednesday
morning, the state-
ment further said.
While Indian fisher-
men are barred from
entering the creek due
to security reasons,
their counterparts
from Pakistan fre-
quently enter the
marshy area in the In-
dian waters mostly in
search of a better catch
and get apprehended.
In February this
year, the BSF had
launched a massive
combing operation in
the Harami Nala area
against intruders and
caught six Pakistani
nationals while seizing
11 fishing boats.

Al Jazeera to
move ICC over
journo’s killing
Jerusalem (AP): The
Al Jazeera news net-
work says it will submit
a case file to the Inter-
national Criminal
Court on the killing of
reporter Shireen Abu
Akleh, who was shot
dead earlier this month
during an Israeli raid
in the occupied West
Bank.
The Qatar-based net-
work and the Palestini-
an Authority have ac-
cused Israeli soldiers of
deliberately killing her.
Israel rejects those
allegations as a blatant
lie.” It says she was
shot during a firefight
between soldiers and
Palestinian militants,
and that only ballistic
analysis of the bullet
which is held by the PA
can determine who
fired the fatal shot. An
AP reconstruction lent
support to witnesses
who say the veteran
Palestinian-American
correspondent was
killed by Israeli fire,
but any final conclu-
sion may depend on
evidence that has not
yet been released.
Al Jazeera said late
Thursday it has formed
an international legal
team to prepare a case
dossier to be submitted
to the ICC.
The court launched
an investigation into
possible Israeli war
crimes last year. Israel
is not a member of the
ICC and has rejected
the probe as being bi-
ased against it.

AMBITIOUS POLICY
RISE OF A PHOENIX
From P1…
26 May 2014, a water-
shed moment in India’s
history brought to fore
a new type of politics.
That day marked the
birth of a leader who,
with his vision of
strong India, changed
the rules of govern-
ance. Over the last
eight years, he has
emerged as an un-
matched charismatic
leader who has univer-
sal appeals and accept-
ability. People look
upon him as a divine
selfless man with “56
inch chest” and one
who has the ability to
change the fate. Naren-
dra Damodardas Modi
has not only travelled a
long way from Gujarat
to the power centre of
New Delhi but also has
etched an indelible
mark in the history
books as a legend who
foresaw the making of
modern India. Though
Modi’s second tenure
started on May 30, 2021
he has been ruling
hearts of millions of
people ever since he en-
tered the public life.
His decisions like ab-
rogation of Article 370,
Demonetization, end-
ing Triple Talaq, surgi-
cal strikes, Balakot air
strike, implementation
of GST, Jan-Dhan Yo-
jana, Ujjawala Yojana,
Free grain scheme, Jal
Jeevan Mission and
withdrawal of Farm
laws and several others
have made the ‘Aam
Aadmi’ trust the char-
ismatic leader. But that
is not all, Modi single
handedly has also in-
stilled a belief and con-
fidence in the Indian
mindset that India
reigns supreme.

e would like
to know
more about
you.
My name is
K a n g g a n a
Malik and I
am from Noida. I am
currently pursuing a
course in fashion
communication
from Pearl Acad-
emy
. I have lived
in Thailand
for more than
five years which
taught me a lot about
the socio-cultural dif-
ferences between the
two nationalities. The
time that I spent in
Thailand was one of the
best times of my life. I
enjoyed the spectacular
beauty, scrumptious
delicacies and shopping
spree in that country
.
Why did you choose to
model as a profession?
As a fashion student, I
wanted to connect with
this industry at an
early stage since I
loved it. I
t h o u g h t
the best
way by
which one
can connect
with the fash-
ion industry is
through model-
ling. Modelling not
only helped me con-
nect with the industry
leaders but also al-
lowed me to express
my charisma with the
zeal of passion.
What challenges did you
face in this industry?
It has been a year since
I started modelling and
luckily the journey is
smooth for me. A com-
mon challenge faced by
all the models is long
and tiring shoot sched-
ules. However, it is noth-
ing new as one requires
determination and pas-
sion towards their goals
to succeed.
We would like to
know about your
achievements.
I have done assignments
for many celebrity de-
signers. I participated
in the First Miss India
Teen’ 21 and was de-
clared the runner up. I
walked the ramp in Del-
hi Runway Week’21,
Asian Couture Week’22
and India Style Fashion
Week’22. I recently
walked the ramp at Del-
hi Times Fashion
Week’22. I believe in
Sia’s song: Unstoppable,
where it is rightly said
that I am a Porsche with
no brakes!
Where do you see
yourself after five
years from now?
I wish to see my-
self making a mark
in the glamour indus-
try. I hope someday my
experience and exper-
tise will inspire young
models to follow their
hearts and passion
without any constraint
from society.

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
s Marwaris, we take
ourlocalpicklesvery
seriously
. We make
them at home, bor-
row them from the
neighbours, and buy
only from our trust-
ed sources. In this blog, we’ll
talkaboutthreeof ourfavour-
ites from Rajasthan, why we
love them so much, and also,
that one pickle-maker in the
old walled city of Jaipur who
we frequently visit.
Koi When we speak of the
Indian pickles, we usually
have this misconception that
they are full of oil and masa-
las which make them un-
healthy. On the contrary, all
that’s put in the recipe is su-
per-food in itself and con-
tains innumerable health
benefits. Some of the com-
mon ingredients, for exam-
ple, are mustard oil, asafoeti-
da (hing), turmeric (haldi),
mustard seeds, kalonji aka
black cumin or Nigella sati-
va, raw veggies/fruits, etc.
The most popular pickles
of India are prepared using
raw mango, amla (gooseber-
ry), carrot, lemon, garlic,
radish, cauliflower, etc. A lot
of mix and match also hap-
pens in these recipes that are
interesting to eat. Our fa-
vourites, however, include
the Rajasthani Kairi (raw
mango), Ker, and Rai Mirch
achaar. Have you ever tried
them? Let’s quickly go
through some common ad-
vantages of including achaar
in your daily diet:
ACHAAR IS THE OG
FERMENTED FOOD
Yes, Indians were masters of
fermentation. The great In-
dian pickle uses this old
method of keeping the unripe
fruits/vegetables in highly
concentrated salt water or
vinegar. The bacteria which
are present in vegetables are
salt resistant and hence,
when put in salt water or vin-
egar, they help convert the
sugar into lactic acid. Thus,
the sour taste! These pickles
are great for your digestion.
CONTROLS BLOOD SUGAR
Vinegar in pickles helps
keep the blood sugar levels
in control. Some studies
show that consuming two
teaspoons of vinegar with
carbs may reduce post-meal
blood glucose levels by as
much as 20 per cent.
BETTER DIGESTION
Eating pickles with your dai-
ly meals is a great way to
keep digestion on point. Pick-
les help in the growth of good
bacteria in our gut.
RICH IN ANTI-OXIDANTS
Our pickles have the proper-
ty to protect our bodies from
the free radicals that can
harm our daily functionali-
ties. Hence, pickles are said
to give us a stronger immune
system.
RICH IN NUTRIENTS
You’ll be surprised to know
that the Indian pickles are
rich in nutrients like carbo-
hydrates, potassium, magne-
sium, sodium and vitamins
like A, C K. A while ago, the
country’s celebrity nutrition-
ist Rujuta Diwekar took to
Instagram to talk about the
benefits of Indian pickle.
SHE MENTIONED
l They enhance the taste and
flavour of food.
l They help in the digestive
processes of the body.
l They are a reliable source
of vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants.
l They provide the body with
healthy bacteria which
makes it easy for the body to
produce vitamins like B12.
l They ensure that your gut is
not colonised by pathogens
or bad bacteria.
Were you aware of these
fitness facts? We like how our
Indian pickles aren’t just
good for our health, but also
satiate our taste buds espe-
cially when we want to add
that zing to our meals and
during pregnancies as well
when we feel like eating all
things chatpata.
A while ago, our favourite
Culinary Chronicler, Rushi-
na Munshaw Ghildiyal, con-
ducted a Live Instagram ses-
sion to discuss some kickass
ancient pickle recipes with
her followers. She also spoke
of a couple of Pahadi recipes
like non-veg pickles, kathal
aka jackfruit pickle, etc.
Along with this, we also
heard her share the benefits
of consuming nimboo aka
lemon pickles every day as a
cure to stomach aches. This
is our go-to treatment at
home as well. Lemon pickles
truly work wonders and one
can feel at ease almost in-
stantly!
Our favourites are also
loaded with a lot of benefits.
To state a few:
KER PICKLE
Ker treats constipation and
other stomach-related ail-
ments Rajasthani Kairi: Rich
in Vit C, raw mango pickle
adds that glow to your skin
and makes hair healthy
.

Chillies are rich in vitamins

system Lastly, let’s reveal
the name of our much-
loved pickle-maker in
Jaipur. It’s Vijaylal Acha-
rwala (996, Gopal ji ka
rasta, Achar walon ki gali,
Bapu Bazar. This area has
plenty of traditional pickle-
makers, check them out when

encouraged them to start

here’s a lot
we forgot
how to do
over the
last two
years (cas-
ually in-
teract with other
humans, for start-
ers), and dressing
for the office is
pretty high on the
list. But now that
workplaces are
full, it’s time to get
back into the swing
of things. Figuring
out a stylish work-
appropriate outfit
when it’s swelter-
ing out is hard
enough. Of course,
you’ll want to be
comfortable during
your commute, try
not to freeze under
the AC while sit-
ting at your desk,
and steer clear of
the HR rep scoffing
at a skirt choice.

Passion
Passion
Makeup is all
about enhancing
features as it
gives spectacular
glow to the
charisma. City
First spoke to
Akanksha
about her
journey.
Tell us something
about yourself.
My name is Akank-
sha Sharma and I am
from Delhi. I have
done MBA and I am
an entrepreneur by
profession. I am the
founder of the brand
Islay
.
I was very fond of
makeup since the
time I was in college.
I was known for my
unique appearance
as makeup was not
that popular those
days. I would blow-
dry my hair and keep
myself prim and
proper to the best of
my ability in college.
What challeng-
es did you face
in this industry?
The journey was not
at all smooth for me.
I come from a busi-
ness background but
none of my family
members has ever
been into something
such as makeup. I al-
ways knew that I am
not meant for a job. I
dreamt of opening
my own business.
However, creativity,
patience, determina-
tion and hard work
helped me carve
my identity
.
What inspired
you to become a
makeup artist?
I feel my mother is
my inspiration for I
have taken after her.
She is also very fond
of dressing up. I
would observe her
while she did her
makeup and imitate
her later. I am a per-
fectionist just like
her when it comes to
dressing up.
Where do you see
yourself after five
years?
I wish to open a chain
of my studios across
the globe along with
a line of my signa-
ture makeup prod-
ucts. I already have a
brand ISLAY which
deals with beauty
and clothing. I know
all my dreams will be
fulfilled by the bless-
ings of god and my
family
.
