Lucknow: BSP chief
Mayawati on Friday criti-
cised Congress govern-
ment in Rajasthan for
raising a bill of over Rs 36
lakh for its buses used for
ferrying students back to
Uttar Pradesh from Kota
and said this shows its in-
humanity.
The bill was cleared by
Yogi Adityananth gov-
ernment on Friday, a day
after it was sent by Ra-
jasthan for facilitating
the students’ return
amid the COVID-19-in-
duced lockdown.
In a series of tweets,
Mayawati said, the de-
mand of Rs 36.36 lakhs
that the Rajasthan gov-
ernment has given as ex-
penditure of sending
about 12,000 young men
and women back from
Kota to their homes
shows their inhumanity.
Such disgusting politics
between two neighbour-
ing states is extremely
saddening.”

es to ferry migrant la-

Responding to the crit-
icism for charging bus
fare from UP govt for
transporting Kota stu-
dents, Rajasthan Trans-
port Minister Pratap
Singh Khachariya said
that the state govern-
ment has shelled out for
the fuel for buses.
“The bill for the diesel
and for the buses pro-
vided by Rajasthan for
UP students amounts to
Rs 36 lakhs, of which
only Rs. 19 lakh has been
paid by UP Govt till

The term ‘power-play’ is attributed
to the game of cricket, however, it
can also be associated with the games
in the power corridors of the state.
Not too long ago, IAS Ashok Singhvi
was in the news for alleged corruption
after the ACB nabbed him claiming it
had ‘right leads’ in the matter. But it
appears that the winds of change are
finally here for Singhvi as there are
murmurs in the power centres that
the former IAS may be exonerated.
But that is not it. In fact word is that
charges against IAS Nirmala Meena
could also be dropped. Although
serious efforts were being made for
the same for quite some time. it is said
that Principal Secretary - personnel
department - Roli Singh has discussed
the matter with Chief Secretary DB
Gupta. A few power circles believe
that there is a soft spot for Singhvi
and the man has given his versions
repeatedly after which the DOP has
prepared a report, while in the case
of Nirmala Meena a few quarters are
suggesting a ‘Jodhpur connection’
where she has served as DSO and
held a long tenure on other posting
too. After all what is life without a little
‘power-play’, pun intended?

POLITICS
or a state battling Covid-19 pan-
demic, Cyclone Ampham couldn’t
have landed at a worse time. In the
aftermath of devastation caused
by Ampham, West Bengal Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the loss
of property could be to the tune of Rs 1 lakh
crore. For a state already reeling under a fi-
nancial crisis due to lockdown, the loss will
indeed be staggering. She described the havoc
wreaked by the cyclone as “I have not seen
such devastation in my life”.
Here were two natural calamities requiring
different responses. To avoid Covid-19 one is
supposed to wear masks and maintain social
distanceof sixfeetwithoneanother.Butwhen
a cyclone is barrelling through with all its
force, wearing mask and keeping distance be-
come irrelevant as saving lives and property
becomes the number one priority. Thanks to
Sunderbans which lay in the path of the
storm, major cities were saved far greater de-
struction. Authorities were now rushing re-
lief to areas already hit by coronavirus.
What was good about the latest natural ca-
lamity was that bitterness between Kolkata
andNewDelhihasbeenkeptasideforthetime
being. PM Modi undertook an aerial survey
along with Mamata Banerjee. He announced
an interim financial aid of Rs 1000 crore for
relief and rehabilitation. He later held meet-
ings with officials to discuss the situation.
The PM said in Basirhat, “Rs 1000 crore ad-
vance assistance will be given to West Bengal.
All aspects relating to rehabilitation and re-
construction will be addressed. We all want
West Bengal to move ahead. The Centre will
alwaysstandwithWestBengalinthesetesting
times. We will work together to ensure that
Bengal stands on its feet again.”
On PM’s financial aid Banerjee was guard-
ed. She told journalists, “He (PM Modi) an-
nounced Rs 1,000 crore but did not clarify if it
will be advance or package. He said he’ll de-
cide later on but he said it may be advance
also. In this hour of crisis, we all must work
together.”
GovernorJagdeep Dhankharwhoisalways
at loggerheads with the chief minister, tweet-
ed, “Super cyclone #Amphan has caused un-
precedented havoc and disaster. People suffer-
ing is unimaginable. Urge all including NGOs
to swing into action to provide relief to the
needy. Am awaiting report @MamataOfficial-
so (sic) that all other steps @PMOIndia may
be urgently taken.”
Mamata Banerjee has been complaining
about lack of financial help from the Centre
to fight Covid-19. “We have not received any
financial help to fight the Covid-19 pandemic
till date,” she said after Amphan left a trail of
destruction. The centre and state will make
separate assessments of the damage done by
the cyclone to decide on the exact quantum of
financial aid for the state. Hopefully, the two
can keep politics aside in people’s interests.
IN-DEPTH
F
n this period of Lockdown, I got
the chance to read again the sto-
ries of ‘Panchtantra’ which we
all must have read or heard at
least once in our childhood. The
stories which were written in the
3rd Century BC are relevant in
today’s time that it gives the feel-
ing as if the stories have been
written just today. Having
crossed my childhood, adult-
hood and a part of my profes-
sional life too, I find the stories
not only relevant to our person-
al lives but also to our corporate
strategies. I have listed down
some of the stories in brief
which are most relevant to draw
inspiration from and can be
read to form the marketing and
business strategies, especially
amidst the corona crisis.
MONKEY AND
THE CROCODILE
There lived a monkey on an ap-
ple tree by the side of a river in
which lived a crocodile. They
become friends. Monkey used
to fetch the crocodile sweet ap-
ples every day, in turn, the
crocodile used to take the mon-
key for a ride of the river. One
day, while on the river tour
with the monkey, the crocodile
desires to take out the mon-
key’s heart. Hearing this mon-
key doesn’t panic and cooly
responds that he has forgotten
his heart at home on the tree.
Lesson learnt: One, in your
difficult times, do not panic,
remain calm and patient and
tackle the situation with a
solution. Two, be careful in
choosing your channel part-
ners. A lesson is learnt from
the crocodile too that we
shouldn’t get complacent and
shouldn’tstartcelebratinguntil
the target is achieved.
THE BLUE JACKAL
A hungry jackal wandering in
a jungle is chased by a group of
dogs. The jackal falls into a tub
of blue dye and becomes unrec-
ognisable. He starts projecting
himself as a representative of
the god and tries to rule over
the dogs. The jackal’s false cov-
er is blown in the rain and the
dogs eventually kill him.
Lesson learnt: You cannot
change reality. In the zeal to
take control of the market,
it is common for the compa-
nies to over project their
products. Once the reality is
exposed, not only they lose
their new customers but also it
leads to the cancellation of
some existing orders.
THE BRAHMIN AND
THE THREE THIEVES
A brahmin once gets a goat as
his fees for conducting a ritual.
On his way home, he comes
across a gang of three thieves,
who turn by turn make him be-
lieve that what he has got is not
a goat. The first thief makes
him believe that the goat he is
carrying is not a goat but a
snake, the second thief makes
him believe that the goat the
brahmin is taking along with
him is a dead cat and the third
one makes him believe that the
brahmin is carrying some wild
plant on his shoulders. The
brahmin, believing them, gets
scared and abandons the goat
whichthenthethievesrelishon.
Lesson learnt: A lot of
times, you are pulled down by
others which makes you feel
that your product is worth-
less. Quite a lot of ‘Start-Ups”
abandon their projects or sell
it to their rival competitors
for peanuts falling prey to the
advises that their projects
have no value, that they will
not sustain in the market,
that what they have incepted
is not suitable for the current
market etc.
PIGEONS CAUGHT
IN A HUNTER’S NET
Once a flock of pigeons gets
caughtinanetbyahunter.They,
instead of fighting the problem
individually and instead of try-
ing to pull the net in their own
directions decide to fly all to-
gether along with the net to
reach their friend, a mouse who
cuts the net for them all.
Lesson learnt: We should
not leave our fellow industry
colleagues in difficult times.
The government is likely to
announce some industry-
specific packages to counter
the damage caused by coro-
na crisis. If the industry is
united and raises its common,
larger concerns in unison then
only will it catch the eye of law-
makers.
THE RABBIT WHO
KILLS THE LION
This is one of the very well-
known stories of the ‘Panchtan-
tra’ tales wherein a rabbit who
is sent as the lion’s prey. He
takes the lion to a well and
shows him his image in the wa-
ter and makes him hear his own
roar echo through the well mak-
ing him believe that there exists
another lion like him. The lion
jumps in the well to kill the
other lion who never was.
Lesson learnt: We must fo-
cus on the solution rather
than getting nervous with
the problem. Big players in
the market try to dictate
their rules. But, if they are
tackled well and shown the
mirror that they too are vul-
nerable to failures and can be
overtaken by a small player
with a good idea, they too can
be countered.

The writer is President of the

India, Central Zone One
mong its many
other effects,
the COVID-19
crisis has inten-
sified the pre-
existing geopolitical rival-
ry between China and the
United States. This tension
has led many to warn of
the “Thucydides trap,” a
term coined by Harvard’s
Graham T. Allison to refer
to the heightened risk of
conflict when an emerging
power threatens to dis-
place an established one.
Allison’s theory takes its
name from the ancient
Greek historian Thucy-
dides’ chronicle of the
Peloponnesian War, in
which Sparta defeated the
rising city-state of Athens.
One important detail of
this historical touchstone
has passed largely unno-
ticed, however, even amid
the ongoing pandemic: the
determining factor in
Sparta’s victory was a
plague that killed about
one-third of Athens’s pop-
ulation, including Pericles,
the city’s leader.
Before COVID-19, how-
ever, Western societies had
largely forgotten how
much structural harm a
disease can cause – even
though cholera and malar-
ia epidemics are currently
ravaging the poorest parts
of the world, and global
AIDS and swine flu pan-
demics have killed many in
recent decades.
Scientists had been
warning us for years of an
imminent pandemic of a
respiratory virus equal in
severity to the 1918-19 flu,
yet we were insufficiently
prepared to contain the
spread of the new corona-
virus. That was mainly due
to the initial heedlessness
shown by leaders in ad-
vanced economies, com-
bined with developing
countries’ chronic vulner-
ability, which overshadows
their greater experience in
managing epidemics.
Although the coronavi-
rus is having an impact
across the board, owing to
its virulence and the vir-
tually unprecedented
shutdown of much of the
global economy, it is un-
doubtedly aggravating
pre-existing social ine-
qualities within and
among countries.
Every day, health work-
ers and others with essen-
tial jobs risk infection, of-
ten without adequate pro-
tection, and for wages that
do not reflect the funda-
mental value of their ef-
fort. Likewise, many sec-
tors particularly affected
by economic lockdowns
face an uncertain future.
And the challenge is even
greater in middle- or low-
income countries, owing
to their meager fiscal ca-
pacity, large informal
economies, precarious
health-care systems, and
deficient sanitation.
For all of these reasons,
the severity of the current
circumstances compels us
to redesign our social con-
tracts. In developed coun-
tries, where neglect of the
real economy has allowed
inequalities to erode so-
cial cohesion, the most ur-
gent priority is to protect
workers in essential sec-
tors adequately and com-
pensate them materially –
and not just with applause,
albeit well-deserved – for
their contribution to our
wellbeing. In order to en-
sure a broad-based eco-
nomic recovery, we must
provide a minimum safety
net for all those who have
lost their jobs because of
COVID-19.
Nor, of course, can less
prosperous countries be
forgotten. That means al-
leviating their debt bur-
den, helping them to ob-
tain medicines and medi-
cal supplies on equal
terms, and guaranteeing
their access to a COVID-19
vaccine when it becomes
available.

TALKING POINTJAIPUR | SATURDAY, MAY 23, 2020
THE UNSPOKEN REASON FOR
LOCKDOWNS
T
he COVID-19
pandemic is
the first major
global crisis in
human history to be
treated as a mathemati-
cal problem, with gov-
ernments regarding
policy as the solution to
a set of differential
equations. Excluding a
few outliers – includ-
ing, of course, US Presi-
dent Donald Trump –
most political leaders
have slavishly deferred
to “the science” in tack-
ling the virus. The
clearest example of this
was the UK govern-
ment’s sudden shift on
March 23 to an aggres-
sive lockdown policy,
following a nightmar-
ish forecast by Imperial
College London re-
searchers of up to
550,000 deaths if noth-
ing was done to combat
the pandemic.
Such modeling is the
correct scientific ap-
proach when the ques-
tion debars experiment.
You can test a new drug
by subjecting two
groups of lab rats to
identical conditions, ex-
cept for the drug they
are given, or by admin-
istering it to randomly
selected humans in
clinical trials.
But you can’t deliber-
ately insert a virus into
a human population to
test its effects, although
some Nazi concentra-
tion-camp doctors did
just that. Instead, scien-
tists use their knowl-
edge of the infectious
pathogen to model a dis-
ease’s pattern of conta-
gion, and then work out
which policy interven-
tions will modify it.
Predictive modeling
was first devel-
oped for malaria over
a century ago by an
almost-forgotten Eng-
lish doctor, Ronald
Ross. In a fascinat-
ing 2020 book, the
mathematician and
epidemiologist Adam
Kucharski showed
how Ross first identi-
fied the mosquito as
the infectious agent
through experiments
on birds. From this
fact, he developed
a predictive model
of malaria transmis-
sion, which was later
generalized as the SIR
(Susceptible, Infected,
and Recovered) model
of contagious-disease
epidemics.
The question that
interested epidemiolo-
gists was not what trig-
gers an epidemic, but
what causes it to end.
They concluded that
epidemics end naturally
when enough people
have had the disease
so that further trans-
mission rates decline.
Basically, the virus runs
out of hosts in which
it can reproduce itself.
In today’s jargon, the
population develops
“herd immunity.”
The science de-
veloped from Ross’s
original model is
almost universally
accepted, and has
been fruitfully applied
in other contexts, like
financial contagion. But
no policymaker is pre-
pared to allow a killer
epidemic to run its
natural course, because
the potential death toll
would be unacceptable.
After all, the 1918-
19 Spanish flu killed
some 50-100 million
people out of a global
population of two
billion: a death rate
between 2.5% and 5%.
No one knew for sure
what the COVID-19
death rate would have
been had the spread of
the coronavirus been
uncontrolled.
Because there is
currently no COVID-19
vaccine, govern-
ments have had to find
other ways to prevent
“excess deaths.” Most
have opted for lock-
downs, which remove
entire populations from
the path of the virus
and thus deprive it of
hosts.
PREDICTIVE MODELING WAS DEVELOPED FOR MALARIA
Two months into the Euro-
pean lockdown, however, the
evidence suggests that these
measures on their own have not
had much medical effect. For
example, Sweden, with its ex-
ceptionally light lockdown, has
had fewer COVID-19 deaths rela-
tive to its population than tightly
locked-down Italy and Spain.
And while the United Kingdom
and Germany have both been
aggressively locked down,
Germany has so far reported 96
deaths per million inhabitants,
compared to 520 per million in
the UK.
The crucial difference between
Germany and the UK seems to
lie in their respective medical re-
sponses. Germany started mass
testing, contact-tracing, and iso-
lating the infected and exposed
within a few days of confirming
its first COVID-19 cases, thus
giving itself a head start in slow-
ing the virus’s spread.
The UK, by contrast, is
hobbled by incoherence at the
center of government and by
what former foreign secretary
David Owen (himself a medical
doctor) has called the “struc-
tural vandalism” inflicted on the
National Health Service by years
of cuts, fragmentation, and
centralization. As a result, the
country lacked the medical tools
for a German-style response.
Science cannot determine
what the correct COVID-19
response should have been
for each country. A model
may be considered validated
if its predictions correspond
to outcomes in real life. But
in epidemiology, we can have
confidence that this will hap-
pen only if a virus with known
properties is allowed to run
its natural course in a given
population, or if there is a single
intervention like a vaccine, the
results of which can be accu-
rately predicted.
Too many variables – includ-
ing, say, medical capacity or cul-
tural characteristics – scrambles
the model, and it starts spewing
out scenarios and predictions
like a demented robot. Today,
epidemiologists cannot tell us
what the effects of the current
COVID-19 policy mix will be.
“We will know only in a year or
so,” they say.
The outcome will therefore
depend on politics. And the
politics of COVID-19 are clear
enough: governments could
not risk the natural spread of
infection, and thought it too
complicated or politically fraught
to try to isolate only those most
at risk of severe illness or death,
namely the 15-20% of the popu-
lation aged over 65.
The default policy response
has been to slow the spread of
natural immunity until a vaccine
can be developed. What “flat-
tening the curve” really means
is spacing out the number of
expected deaths over a pe-
riod long enough for medical
facilities to cope and a vaccine
to kick in.
But this strategy has a terrible
weakness: governments cannot
keep their populations locked
down until a vaccine arrives.
Apart from anything else, the
economic cost would be un-
thinkable. So, they have to ease
the lockdown gradually.
Doing this, however, lifts the
cap on non-exposure gained
from the lockdown. That is why
no government has an explicit
exit strategy: what political lead-
ers call the “controlled easing”
of lockdowns actually means
controlled progress toward herd
immunity.
Governments cannot openly
avow this, because that would
amount to admitting that herd
immunity is the objective. And it
is not yet even known whether
and for how long infection
confers immunity. Much better,
then, to pursue this goal silently,
under a cloud of obfuscation,
and hope that a vaccine arrives
before most of the population is
infected.

Jaipur: Cooperative
Minister Udaylal An-
jana has praised RA-
JFED MD Sushma
Arora and her team
for their outstanding
performance in ac-
complishing a record
of making purchase
of gram and mustard
worth Rs 1,370 crore
in the year 2020. An-
jana said that the com-
binedpurchasebystates
like UP, Gujarat, MP and
Maharashtra stands at
Rs 1,008 crore and
doesn’t compare with
the performance of RA-
JFED. This feat has
been achieved despite
the ongoing coronavi-
rus speaks volumes
for the working style
of Sushma Arora and
her team, he added.
Elaborating on the
achievement, the minis-
ter said that until May
20, 2.85 metric ton of
gramandmustardworth
Rs1370.18crorehasbeen
purchased. During the
same period in 2019 only
61,190 metric ton was
purchased which valued
at Rs 261.22 crore. This
year, 1,16,683 farmers
have been benefited in
comparison to 3,025
farmers last year. An-
jana said that what
Arora and her team
achieved in 20 days,
was achieved in 45
days last year. He also
praised the payment
schedule to the farmers
which was 3-4 days and
so far the farmers have
already been paid Rs
1,082 crore is the time of
crisis.Anjana said that
such extra ordinary
feat was impossible to
accomplish without a
firm resolve and dedi-
cation by MD Sushma
Arora and her officers
as it was all the more
tough to perform and
achieve in the times of
corona infection. He
congratulated all the of-
ficers and said that time-
lypurchaseandpayment
by Arora and her team
has contributed to the
economy of the state in
the hour of crisis.

Jaipur: The rapid
pace at which Chief
Minister Ashok Ge-
hlot’s orders are exe-
cuted, came alive on
Friday when within
24 hours of CM’s di-
rection a fruitful
news in the form of
approval was re-
ceived from the Utta-
rakhand Govern-
ment. Keeping in view
the troubles faced by
people who lost their
loved ones after lock-
down, Gehlot had in-
structed state officials
on Thursday to speak
with their counterparts
in Uttarakhand and Ut-
tar Pradesh govern-
ment for permitting
travel of individuals
for immersion of re-
mains of deceased in
Ganges. On Friday, the
Uttarakhand govern-
ment gave approval
for the same. Now the
Rajasthan govern-
ment will start plying
free buses for the pur-
pose which CM Ge-
hlot had announced
on Thursday.
Taking this hu-
mane and sensitive
decision, Chief Min-
ister Gehlot has said
that it is very painful
that the mournful
families could not im-
merse their remains
after the death of
their family member.
The stalwart leader
was presiding over a
high-level review meet-
ing with officials at the
Chief Minister’s resi-
dence on Friday. It was
informed in the meet-
ing that efforts are
also being made for
the consent of the Ut-
tar Pradesh govern-
ment. Two or three
members of any fam-
ily will be able to
travel free in these
special buses.
During the meeting,
ACS Industries Sub-
odh Agarwal said that
now four or five buses
will be operated daily
from Rajasthan to
Haridwar and other
sites. “These buses
will initially be oper-
ated from the divi-
sional headquarters
of the state and then
from the district
headquarters as re-
quired,” he said.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot has
said that after almost
three decades, the on-
going locust attack
has made it necessary
to strengthen the lo-
cust warning organi-
sation in the state. He
said that due to the
outbreak of locusts,
the farmers had suf-
fered a major loss last
year. Locust invasion
is expected to be more
intense this year than
before. In such a situ-
ation, the govern-
ment will have to face
this challenge with
complete efficiency.
Interestingly, the offi-
cials are mulling on
controlling locust at
night when it stops fly-
ing around and settles
on trees and crops.
On Friday, CM was
discussing measures
for locust control with
the collectors of the
border districts, locust
warning organisations
and agriculture depart-
ment officials through
video conference. He
said that attention was
also drawn to the mat-
ter in the video confer-
ence held with PM Nar-
endra Modi in the past.
“Since the work of
locust warning organ-
isation falls under
centre, the central
government should
strengthen it and pro-
vide necessary re-
sources. Some locust
swarms have moved
fromtheborderdistricts
to Ajmer, Jaipur, Karau-
li, Tonk, Dausa, Sawai
Madhopurandotherdis-
tricts. We have to work
in new ways to control
them. Last year when
the locust attack took
place, the locust warn-
ing organisation as
well as the agriculture
department and our
farmers did a good
job. This time also we
have to make efforts
with full awareness,”
Gehlot said.
During the VC, Ag-
riculture Minister La-
lchand Kataria said
that small groups of
locusts have also
reached other dis-
tricts after entering
state from Pakistani
border on April 11.
“About 50,000 hectare
area has been affected
bythem.However,farm-
ers have not suffered
muchsinceitisnottime
for crops in Western Ra-
jasthan. Department of
Agriculture has ade-
quate amount of pesti-
cidesavailable,”hesaid.

o matter how
many dresses
we have
squeezed into
our over-
stuffed closet,
we can always
justify browsing the year’s
summer dress trends
and buying a few more.
From simple cotton
sundresses to silky shifts,
these summer dresses are
in our wardrobes for
years, but that does not
mean we should not treat
ourselves to a
trendy piece or
two when the
s e a s o n
c h a n g e s .
Summer is
definitely
one of the
most fun times of the year
to play around with your
style and summer dresses
are without a doubt the
easiest way to perfect your
seasonal style. You don’t
need to worry about coor-
dinating complicated out-
fits, just throw it on, add a
pair of shoes, a designer
handbag and you’re done.
Whether you’re after
something casual or a style
that’s a bit fancier, a dress
is a great way to ensure you
feel confident. Long-time
back, the long summer
dress was considered to be
reserved for celebrity’s do-
main, but the fashion in-
dustry has made a remark-
able improvement
in recent years
and that has
c h a n g e d
the com-
plete sce-
nario. Now,
there are so
many dressing
styles available in
the market that fits
your budget and can
give you a stunning look
with easy to pull-off
style.
You can play
with the evergreen
sleeveless dress-
es, mini skirts,
backless ban-
deau, tied with a
Knot bikini, spa-
ghetti strap
striped, belted
and wraps waists,
and of course, you
can wear whatever
your little heart de-
sires. Moreover, mini-
malist linen high-cut,
belts and hoops, underwire
tops are always a safe trend.
Be it for clothes or accesso-
ries, the more information
you have the better. If the
summer season is giving
you a tough fight against
sunburn, then you give it
much more tough
fight with your mini-
malistic style. Wheth-
er white or colourful,
mini or maxi, dresses
are the statement piec-
es and they will help
you to look effortlessly
laid-back.

n these times of
the Corona pan-
demic, all that we
think of is how
deadly it is and
how to protect
ourselves. For the
last two months, what we
have been counting are the
positive cases and deaths
due to corona. We have
been doing anything and
everything to keep our-
selves safe- Be it locked
down in our houses or re-
maining away from our
near and dear ones etc. We
have been showing tre-
mendous solidarity to-
wards COVID WARRIORS
and have been conveying
thanks by clapping, light-
ing diyas, and by shower-
ing flowers. Everyone
thinks that these people
are risking their lives for
our safety, working hard
for hours wearing uncom-
fortable PPEs.
Here a question comes to
my mind. I want to ask my
fellow countrymen, have
you ever counted, how
many of our soldiers have
died (martyred) while
serving our country. Have
we ever shown gratitude to
them like COVID WARRI-
ORS? We all take martyr-
dom as such a casual thing.
It hurts to even think that
for our society, it’s such a
normal course for a soldier
to give up his life because
it’s his job and he is paid
for it.
We have to understand
that nobody can be paid to
die. Supreme sacrifice for
the motherland is totally a
choice by people with a
heart of steel. Joining the
Army is a conscious
choice, a calling, and a way
of life for certain people.
Not everyone can don the
uniform and the camou-
flage as gallantly as they
do. It’s a general concep-
tion that the life of army
personnel is very rosy and
exciting. EXCITING… Yes,
it is because every single
day is a battle between life
and death. Guarding the
frontiers, staying for
months in a jungle without
proper food, water and
sleep, leaving behind their
spouses, children and par-
ents, may look exciting
only to bystanders. One
requires grit, determina-
tion, courage, fortitude
and a nerve of steel to do
what they do and yet smile.
Whether it is standing in
-25°C at the Siachen Gla-
cier, sitting in ambush
whole night for terrorists
in the valley, or carrying
out surgical strikes across
LOC – they do it all, every
day and with no fuss.
The army truly exempli-
fies their motto- ‘Seva Par-
mo Dharam’, meaning ser-
vice before self. The nation
and countrymen come
first, always and every
time. Defense Forces are
the last hope of the Nation
and they never fail, wheth-
er it’s guarding the bor-
ders or anti-terrorist op-
erations or natural calam-
ity or even pandemic. We
never leave the task unfin-
ished, be it revenge for Uri
or Pulwama or Handwara.
‘Are we actually worthy of
this sacrifice?`
I urge my countrymen
to please be worthy of the
sacrifices made by these
brave men. Take out a little
time to show your love and
solidarity towards them.
Shower some flowers to
the warriors when they
come home wrapped in tri-
colour. Pray for their safe-
ty and their families. Light
a few diyas to remember
them and express our grat-
itude towards them and
their families who so he-
roically send them to bor-
ders. Pray for these brave
hearts, who continue to do
the nation proud, by exhib-
iting indomitable spirit in
the line of duty. Please sa-
lute their valour, their su-
preme sacrifice and pay
homage to them. And nev-
er ever call them “be-
chare”. Because they de-
serve praise and NOT sym-
pathy; they are strong in
their heart and their mind,
benevolently dedicated to
the tricolour; they are
whom we call the fearless
Army men.

S
outhern star Tamannaah Bhatia says the
remuneration an actress gets for working
in a film is entirely her ‘prerogative to de-
termine her financial worth’, adding that
the choice to re-consider the remuneration also
lies with her. “’Remunerations is entirely an ac-
tresses’ prerogative to determine her financial
worth and the choice of re-consideration on the
remuneration rests finally with her and no-
body else,” Tamannaah said on the subject
of what actresses are paid.
“We need to demolish these unbiased
perceptions of an actress not deserv-
ing remunerations in higher brack-
ets similar to an actor. Why is it that
the same questions are never raised
when it is pertaining to an actor? As
an integral part of the film industry,
actresses too, have worked very hard
to reach where their destinations
and every film needs a female lead
just like a male lead to be success-
ful. Why can’t a female actress en-
joy the tag of being the highest
paid or is it just a male entitle-
ment? New decade, new mindset,
new rules is the order of the day,”
she added.
On the other hand, the actress
also refuted reports claiming that
she refused to essay the role of Ravi
Teja’s love interest in director Trinadh
Rao’s upcoming comedy drama, which is
backed by People Media Factory. —IANS
