RAMZAN
MUBARAK
New Delhi: The govern-
ment said on Friday the
nationwide lockdown an-
nounced by Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi was a
timely step, without
which there would have
been an estimated one
lakh COVID-19 cases in
India by now.
In a press briefing, of-
ficials said the virus out-
break is under control in
the country and credited
a robust surveillance net-
work along with imple-
mentation of the lock-
down and other contain-
ment measures for it.
Of the 11 empowered
groups formed to suggest
measures to ramp up
healthcare, put the econ-
omy back on track and
reduce misery of people
once the lockdown is lift-
ed, chairman of Empow-
ered Group One and Niti
Ayog member V K Paul
said according to their
analysis, lockdown has
been effective in slowing
the rate at which COV-
ID-19 cases is doubling in
India, and it now stands
at 10 days.
“If we go back to March
21, the cases were dou-
bling in around three
days. An important turn
came on March 23 after
the Janata Curfew had
happened. The direction
changed and the doubling
rate increased to five. By
then, we had already put
in place travel restric-
tions and had created an
environment of social
distancing. Turn on P6

pledged on Friday to ac-

among those who joined
a video conference to
launch what the WHO

tests and vaccines to
prevent, diagnose and
treat COVID-19, the
lung disease caused be
the novel coronavirus -
and ensure equal access
to treatments for rich
and poor.
“We are facing a com-
mon threat which we
can only defeat with a
common approach,”
WHO Director General
Tedros Adhanom Ghe-
breyesus said as the vir-
tual meeting got under
way.
“Experience has told
us that even when tools
are available they have
not been equally avail-
able to all. We cannot
allow that to happen.”

sion President Ursula

Jaipur: On Friday, Gov-
ernor Kalraj Mishra re-
membered the national
poet Ramdhari Singh
Dinkar on his death an-

works. Mishra also con-
gratulated the people of
state on the occasion of
National Panchayati
Raj day, Akha Teej and

are our strength and the
deep roots of democra-
cy are strengthened
here as a panchayat. He
added that festival Ak-
shay Tritiya is celebrat-
ed in Vaisakh month.
On this day, Lord

ders on the same soon.
While discussing the
condition in Sikar, Do-

information and said
that it is our responsi-
bility to motivate peo-
ple to stay in homes at
this time, rather than
intimidate them. Some
steps are still needed to
save livestock from this
disease. It is a good
thing that social organi-
sations are also coming
in support in the fight
against the pandemic,
minister added further.

Under non-corona es-
sential services, ar-

made to provide deliv-
ery, maternal, newborn,

health, & dialysis etc.
facilities round the

being set up in separate
medical institutions,
along with availability
of doctors and trained
nursing staff. Singh
added that healthy peo-
ple have been donating
blood so that there is no
shortage of blood in the
hour of need.
We will
continue
now to mo-
bilise all G7 and
G20 countries so
they get behind
this initiative. And

around this joint
initiative both

Jaipur: The lockdown
in the country has com-
pleted a month now &
the operation of air ser-
vices has also been sus-
pended for the last one
month. Despite this,
Jaipur Airport adminis-
tration is fully alert to
operate emergency ser-
vices. In this duration,
only emergency servic-
es have been operating
from here. Certain spe-
cial flights are being al-
lowed to operate during
lockdown, including
medical and transport
of relief material etc.
As of now, a dozen
flights have been oper-
ated from Jaipur Air-
port. Half a dozen
flights are for sending
patients from one city
to another, while a fe-
male scientist was sent
abroad from an interna-
tional flight. Prior to
the impact of coronavi-
rus, 7 international
flights were operated
for 5 foreign cities from
Jaipur Airport.

sent Juhu for treatment
April 7: A patient Arun Soni sent

FLIGHT MOVEMENT FROM JAIPUR AIRPORT
Jaipur: As a medical
scientist one finds cer-
tain limitations in man-
aging certain diseases
despite huge develop-
ments in medical sci-
ences which are the
evidence-based linear
sciences. The medical
professionals in an at-
tempt to provide relief
try to use the holistic
approach. Corona out-
break was one of such
an issue where the ad-
vanced sciences were
completely blind and
everyone went into
lockdown, voluntarily
arresting himself in
his own house.
While predicting on
Corona conceding that
astrology is a nonlinear
science I took a chance
and challenge to explore
this age-old science, the
mirror of human life in-
universe. The study of
stars had suggested en-
try of Sun in Aries on
the late evening of April
13 from Pisces, and had
suggested this to be a
turning point in Corona
control.
Today the health
ministry data suggests
that the doubling time
of several Corona cases
has almost tripled to
near 10 days from ear-
lier three days, taking
us towards flattening of
the curve. My further
reading on Stars had
suggested that Rahu
will become favourable
and Mercury will enter
Aries to strengthen the
Sun on April 23 and it
will pave way for a drug
or vaccine discovery, a
pharmacological suc-
cess. Interestingly the
oxford vaccine’s Clini-
cal trial on 4000 volun-
teers started on April
23, the same date as
above. While there is a
long way to go but cer-
tainly there is a silver
lining and a sense of
optimism adding to our
confidence to win the
corona war.
While Ketu, the head-
less star which repre-
sents the virus will con-
tinue to bully us till it
shifts in September but
favourable Jupiter will
vary significantly
dampen Ketu and dis-
sociation of Saturn
from Mars on May 5
will add to our arma-
mentarium to further
effectively control the
dreaded Coronavirus.

z Jaipur: On the occa-
sion of Swadeshi Sankalp
Diwas of Swadesh Jagran
Manch, people will light
lamps at their homes today

religious songs, along with
prayers to God to save the
country from coronavirus.
z Jaisalmer: An Air Force
plane took 52 Kashmiris,
who came from Iran to
Jaisalmer, to Srinagar in
Kashmir on Friday. Three
days ago, 180 other peo-
ple of Kashmir were also
sent to their homes. As of
now, 232 Kashmiris have
been sent.
z Jaipur: On Friday, the
Shwetambar Jain Society
Jaipur provided 2000 PPE
kits for the cleanliness
workers of the Jaipur Mu-
nicipal Corporation in the
presence of UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal at the
minister’s residence. The
society has given 5000 PPE
kits across the country.
z Dungarpur: Two youths,
20 and 21 years old,
drowned in Mahi river.
They had gone in the river
to bathe after performing
the last rites of their grand-
mother at the cremato-
rium. The youths were the
residents of Motagaon in
Banswara and belonged to
Kalal community. Incident
took place in the Nithauva
police station area.
z Sawai Madhopur: Taking
advantage of the dark,

ried woman in Bonli. The

nity centre in Batoda police
station area. CO Bamanwas
Parth Sharma is investigat-
ing the case. The victim
had got lost and reached
Batoda. The accused have

z Jaipur: A strange situ-
ation is being created on
the roads of the capital
city of Rajasthan, where
the streets of the city were
completely empty during
the nationwide lockdown
due to the outbreak of the
pandemic coronavirus
before April 20, whereas
the same has now started
showing a gamut amount
of vehicles running on the
streets of the city after the
modified lockdown was
implemented. However, the
traffic lights of the main
intersections of the city are
still being closed; due to
which any major road ac-
cident can happen anytime.
Although traffic police
officials and other police
personnel are stationed on
the streets of the city. But
still there is a possibility
of accidents from vehicles
coming and going at a high
speed. According to the
police officers, due to the
relaxation given to several
sectors in the modified
lockdown, the density of
traffic and pressure of the
vehicles on the roads has
increased. In such a situa-
tion, traffic lights will start
operating at the main inter-
sections of the city soon.
z Bhubaneswar: In a
humanitarian gesture,
the railways transported
camel milk from Falna in
Rajasthan to Odisha for
a three-and-half-year-old
boy in Berhampur who
is suffering from autism
and food allergy. The milk
was transported in two
days by parcel express via
Delhi and Howrah and then
delivered to the autistic
childs family member at
Bhubaneswar Railway sta-
tion on Thursday evening,
a railway official said on
Friday.The total cost of the
transportation of the rare
milk was merely Rs 125 for
package weighing about 20
kg, he said, adding that the
entire arrangement was
made by SETU, a voluntary
initiative launched by IRTS
Probationers.

CENTRE-BENGAL
CONFRONTATION
OVER LOCKDOWN
here’s no love lost between West
Bengal Governor Jagdeep
Dhankhar, Chief Minister Mama-
ta Banerjee and the Centre. With
the Bharatiya Janata Party des-
perately trying to dislodge the Trinamool
Congress (TMC) from power, it has been a
no holds barred struggle between the two.
They have been at each other’s throat ever
since the BJP won 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha
seats in the state, causing a significant dent.
With assembly elections due in May 2021,
relations between the BJP, governor and
Banerjee are bound to remain sour.
Mamata sees Dhankhar as a man with an
agenda. Last year in December the governor
was not allowed to enter the state assembly
building through the gate designated for him
despite prior intimation of his arrival. He had
to enter the building through another gate
meant for media persons. A “humiliated”
Dhankhar called it an “insult to the people of
the state and the Constitution”.
A month before this, the chief minister
accused the Narendra Modi government of
snooping on her and sought an investigation
in the “illegal surveillance”. The governor
countered by saying it was in Mamata Ba-
nerjee who was indulging in “unauthorised
electronic surveillance” on civil servants,
activists, journalists and political workers.
ThosefamiliarwithWestBengalpoliticswould
knowthatMamataBanerjeeisnotacoypolitician
whocanbemessedwith.Sheearnedherspursby
ousting the CPM government and is a hardened
street fighter. Her belief in confrontational poli-
tics has remained unchanged. So it is no surprise
thatshehasonceagainhitbackatDhankharwho,
in a letter to the chief minister, has said that she
wasdivertingpeople’sattentionfromherfailures
infightingcoronavirusandopenlyappeasingmi-
norities.Dhankharaccusedherof making“mon-
umental blunders” in dealing with the pandemic
and described her appeasement of Nizamuddin
markaz participants as “most unfortunate”.
Dhankhar’s attack was in response to a
strongly-worded letter from the chief min-
ister in which she reminded the governor
that she was an elected representative and
appointed. She charged the governor with
interfering in the administration’s func-
tioning time and again.
The latest spat between the state and the Cen-
tre is based on the allegation that the TMC gov-
ernment has failed to strictly impose the lock-
down. The chief minister alleged that fake news
was being spread about the state. She also de-
nied that Covid-19 fatalities were being under-
reported. Difference in the total cases claimed
by the state (503) and the Union home ministry’s
figures of 514 does create doubt. The Inter Min-
isterial Central Team visiting Kolkata has
sought a detailed report on the functioning of
the state’s coronavirus death audit committee.
In a significant remark earlier, Dhankhar
reportedly said that Mamata Banerjee gov-
ernment be shown the door for her shoddy
enforcement of the lockdown rules. Could
Bengal be headed in that direction?
IN-DEPTH
T
n India, during
the 1918 influ-
enza pandemic,
a staggering 12
million to 13
million people died, the
vast majority between the
months of September and
December. According to
an eyewitness, “There
was none to remove the
dead bodies and the jack-
als made a feast.”
At the time of the pan-
demic, India had been un-
der British colonial rule
for over 150 years. The for-
tunes of the British colo-
nizers had always been
vastly different from those
of the Indian people, and
nowhere was the split
more stark than during the
influenza pandemic, as I
discovered while research-
ing my PhD on the subject.
The resulting devasta-
tion would eventually lead
to huge changes in India
– and the British Empire.
KANSAS TO MUMBAI
Although it is commonly
called the Spanish flu, the
1918 pandemic likely be-
gan in Kansas and killed
between 50 million and
100 million people world-
wide. During the early
months of 1918, the virus
incubated throughout the
American Midwest, even-
tually making its way
East, where it travelled
across the Atlantic Ocean
with soldiers deploying
for World War I.
Introduced into the
trenches on Europe’s
Western Front, the virus
tore through the already
weakened troops. As the
war approached its con-
clusion, the virus fol-
lowed both commercial
shipping routes and mili-
tary transports to infect
almost every corner of
the globe. It arrived in
Mumbai in late May.
When the first wave of
the pandemic arrived, it
was not particularly dead-
ly. The only notice British
officials took of it was its
effect on some workers. A
report noted, “As the sea-
son for cutting grass be-
gan...people were so weak
as to be unable to do a full
day’s work.”
By September, the story
began to change. Mumbai
was still the center of in-
fection, likely due to its
position as a commercial
and civic hub. On Septem-
ber 19, an English-lan-
guage newspaper report-
ed 293 influenza deaths
had occurred there, but
assured its readers “The
worst is now reached.”
Instead, the virus tore
through the subcontinent,
following trade and postal
routes. Catastrophe and
death overwhelmed cities
and rural villages alike.
Indian newspapers report-
ed that crematoria were
receiving between 150 to
200 bodies per day. Accord-
ing to one observer, “The
burning ghats and burial
grounds were literally
swamped with corpses;
whilst an even greater
number awaited removal.”
THE FALLOUT
In the end, areas in the
North and West of India
saw death rates between
4.5% and 6% of their total
populations, while the
South and East – where
the virus arrived slightly
later, as it was waning –
generally lost between
1.5% and 3%.
Geography wasn’t the
only dividing factor, how-
ever. In Mumbai, almost
seven-and-a-half times as
many lower-caste Indians
died as compared to their
British counterparts –
61.6 per thousand versus
8.3 per thousand. Among
Indians in Mumbai, socio-
economic disparities in
addition to race account-
ed for these differing mor-
tality rates.
The Health Officer for
Calcutta remarked on the
stark difference in death
rates between British and
lower-class Indians: “The
excessive mortality in
Kidderpore appears to be
due mainly to the large
coolie population, igno-
rant and poverty-strick-
en, living under most in-
sanitary conditions in
damp, dark, dirty huts.
They are a difficult class
to deal with.”.

On the Forefront to Combat
Coronavirus: Using innovative
technology and novel thinking,
Railways has created a new remote-
controlled device to serve isolated
patients in hospitals. Now, patients
can be properly taken care of, while
maintaining social distance.
ight now, life situations are
confronting us in a certain way,
probably like never before for
this generation. Compared to
how the coronavirus is
spreading in some of the
other nations, in India we
are way better that way be-
cause we did a little pre-
emptive action. It is an ex-
ceptional job by the authori-
ties in India – the doctors,
the forces, and the govern-
ment decision-makers. For
as dense a population as we
are, this is a phenomenal
work. But unfortunately, about
five hundred infected people,
from a certain religious group,
have gone missing. Authorities
are searching for them, but
they are just not traceable. I
hope they lie low and do not go
here and there because these
five hundred people could in-
fect another hundred thousand
people in the next month or
two, all by themselves.
And some young people
are little strutting around
saying that they won’t die,
that only old people die. But
it is getting them too now; a
few young people have died.
Maybe it is because of other
conditions they had or there
was no medical care, or may-
be the virus is learning to
work on them also. We don’t
know, but it is beginning to
happen. And some of those
young people that I know, who
got infected and recovered, af-
ter more than a month, they
are still not able to breathe
properly. If they just walk hun-
dred-and-fifty feet, they will
have to stop and rest. They are
breathless. Though they are
young and the fever has gone,
their breathing capabilities
have not come back.
So, this is a time where the
choices we make, how we be-
have, is going to have acute con-
sequences.
The nature of life is such
that in what you think of as
yourself, life, and death are
packed in the same package.
Love and hate, people can
hold in the same heart; at
the same time, they can love
one person and hate another.
Turmoil and tranquillity
are also held in the same
package. Whatever you nor-
mally think of as opposites
of life are all packed, not
separately, but in the same
package. If you pick love,
you are one way; if you pick
hate, you are another way. If
you pick joy, one way; if you
pick misery, another way. The
creation is so compassionate.
If you want to suffer, you have
the freedom to suffer! It is just
a question of choice because
everything is packed in the
same package.
Right now, with the virus,
it is up to you – becoming
vulnerable and becoming
strong are both in the same
package. Someone may
think, “I didn’t do anything,
how did I get the virus?” Ah,
that is the whole point; you did
not do anything. You did not
wash your hands, you did not
sanitize yourself, you did not
take care – so you got it.
This happened in Tennes-
see. A man who was stand-
ing for a minor office in the
city was doing door-to-door
campaigning. He knocked
on a door, and a lady opened
the door for him. He told her
what all he intends to do for
the town and why she should
elect him. She smiled at him
and said, “You are my sec-
ond choice.”
“Oh, really! Who is your first
choice?”
She said, “Well, just any-
body!”
So, you need to pick your first
choice. If you are conscious, you
will choose what you want.
MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
AGAINST CORONAVIRUSThe nature of life is such that in what you think of as yourself, life, and death are packed in the same package

INDIAJAIPUR | SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020
Kolkata: The war of
words between the
West Bengal govern-
ment the Raj Bhavan
escalated further on
Friday as Governor
Jagdeep Dhankhar ac-
cused Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee of
“explicitly appeasing”
the minority commu-
nity in an 11-page
strongly-worded letter.
The letter follows an
“initial response” by
Dhankhar to Mamata's
letter on Thursday in
which he reminded the
chief minister of her
“Constitutional obliga-
tions in relation to me.”
Mamata had accused
him of “repeatedly in-
terfering” in the func-
tioning of her govern-
ment and said he has
forgotten that she is the
“elected chief minister
of a proud Indian state”
whereas he is a nomi-
nated Governor.
Referring to Baner-
jee's letter, Dhankhar
said the Chief Minis-
ter's outburst is an alibi
strategy to cover up
“monumental failures”
in tackling the COV-
ID-19 pandemic in the
state.”Your communica-
tion is part of the alibi
strategy that emanates
from a script that seeks
to cover up monumental
failures in these chal-
lenging times by a series
of blunders,” the Gover-
nor said in the letter.
“Your appeasement
of the minority commu-
nity was so explicit and
awkward on the Niza-
muddin Markaz inci-
dent. This is most un-
fortunate and cannot be
appreciated,” he said.
He was apparently re-
ferring to an event
where Banerjee was
asked to comment on
the Tablighi Jamaat
congregation in the na-
tional capital.
Dhankhar urged the
Chief Minister “to
shun politics and con-
frontational approach”
as her conduct is only
“compounding the mis-
eries” of the people of
the state. The letter is
in response to Mama-
ta's accusation that
Dhankhar was repeat-
edly interfering in the
functioning of the
state administration.
In a strongly worded
five-page letter to the
Governor,whichMama-
ta released to the pub-
lic, she asked him to
judge who has “crossed
the limit of constitu-
tional dharma and de-
cency” between the two
constitutional function-
aries. Banerjee said
Dhankhar has forgotten
that she is the “elected
Chief Minister of a
proud Indian state”
whereas he is a nomi-
nated Governor.
“You have to judge for
yourself, whether your
direct attacks on me,
my ministers, officers,
your tone, tenor and
language, which in
mildest words of ex-
treme moderation, de-
serve to be character-
ized as parliamentary,
your holding press con-
ferences against the
state government of
which you are a gover-
nor, your repeated and
consistent interference
in the administration
of my ministries make
it clear as to who has
flagrantly transgressed
constitutional dhar-
ma,” she wrote.
“This response be
taken as initial one & a
thorough one will be
imparted to you today
with complete docu-
mentation so that peo-
ple of the state, as you
say, are made aware and
come to know the series
of acts of indignities
heaped by you, your
ministers on the Gover-
nor all through. Your
constant refrain of gov-
ernor being ‘nominat-
ed’ is lamentable and
can be ascribed only to
elementary ignorance
of the Constitution, the
Guv responded.
Reminding Mamata
of her oath as CM & the
oath taken by him, he
“spelt out” Articles 166
and 167 of the Constitu-
tion and Rules of Busi-
ness 27 and 30 at the end
of the letter. —Agencies

India News Communi-

ply of food and dry ra-
tion to migrants and
daily wage labour at

Sneha Mukherjee, ap-
pearing for the petition-
er, told the court that
there have been several
instances where the mi-
grant and daily wage
workers who are resid-

have gone without food.
Mukherjee said that
in order to maintain so-

located 1 to 1.25 km
away from the labour
camps to collect the
ready meals on a daily
basis and therefore,
members of such fami-
lies who are unable to
go to the centres, are
denied food packets.
The court asked the

FROM PG 1
New Delhi: Congress
leader Randeep Singh
Surjewala on Friday,
hit out at the Centre af-
ter it announced freez-
ing the hike in dear-
ness allowance (DA) for
the central government
employees and dear-
ness relief (DR) for the
central government
pensioners till July
next year.
He said instead of
giving relief at the time
of economic slowdown
and income crisis due
to coronavirus crisis,
the government is add-
ing insult to injury.
“Only a month ago, on
23 March 2020, the Modi
government passed the
budget of Rs 30,42,000
crore. Naturally, the ac-
counts of income and
expenditure are clearly
given in the budget.
Then within 30 days of
presenting the budget,
what is the Modi gov-
ernment trying to prove
by cutting dearness al-
lowance of army per-
sonnel, government
employees and pension-
ers?” Surjewala said in
a press conference via
video conferencing.
“On April 23, 2020, af-
ter the Finance Minis-
try issued an order that
the dearness allowance,
dearness relief and all
the old and future in-
stallments have been
deducted from the
backdate i.e. January 1,
2020, to June 30, 2021. It
was also issued an or-
der that no dues from
January 1, 2020 to June
30, 2021 will be paid to
any employee or pen-
sioner,” he said.
Speaking further, the
Congress leader said:
“With this unjustified
deduction, about Rs
37,530 crore annually
will be deducted from
the salary of about 113
lakh soldiers, employ-
ees and pensioners.
These 113 lakh employ-
ees include 49.26 lakh
employees and 61.17
lakh, pensioners. Rs
11,000 crore will be de-
ducted from 15 lakh sol-
diers and about 26 lakh
military pensioners.”
Surjewala said that
the Modi government is
cutting the income of
soldiers, government
employees, pensioners
and middle class rather
than cutting their “use-
less and unnecessary”
expenses. Govt has not
dismissed Central Vista
Project worth Rs 20,000
crore, he added. —ANI

EDITORS GUILD CRITICISES ASSAULT

TALKING POINTJAIPUR | SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020
The entire Manas is
composed as a set of
three dialogues of which
oneisbetweenKakbhush-
undi (so called because
Rishi Bhushundi was in
theavatarof acrowatthat
time), and Garuda, the
King of the Birds. In Ut-
tarkhand, or the epilogue
totheManas,Garudaputs
seven questions before
Kakbhushundi to clarify
his own doubts and, per-
haps, to test the knowl-
edge of Kakbhushundi.
Dohas 120 and 121 of Ut-
tarkand, and the related
Chaupais, together form a
part of these seven ques-
tionsandtheexplanations
for them given by
Kakbhushundi. In media
reports, there is often a
complaint by the news-
makers that their words
have been quoted out of
context. Tulsidas might
have legitimately ex-
pressed the same annoy-
ance, if he was still
around.
Questions 6 and 7 were
- what is the greatest sin,
and what are the diseases
of the mind? Rebirth as a
bat comes in the context
of committing heinous
sins and its consequences
on the nature of the next
birth. Kakbhushundi ex-
plains that those who crit-
icise Shiv or the Guru are
condemned to a rebirth as
frogs, while denouncers
of Brahmins will be re-
bornascrows.Peoplewho
arrogantly talk ill of God
and the Vedas would go to
hell,andrebirthasanowl,
the fate of the critics of
saints. As a part of that
discourse, rebirth as bats
is mentioned as the pun-
ishment for those who
condemneveryone.Tosay
that Tulsidas predicted
that bats would descend
on the earth to terrorise
allhumanbeingswithdis-
easerelatedtothemwould
be stretching the meaning
of these verses composed
by Tulsidas beyond recog-
nition.
Kakbhushundi did ex-
pound on the nature and
types of diseases of the
mind (Manas Rog), but
had no occasion to speak
of physical ailments akin
to that caused by the coro-
navirus. The principle ad-
vocated was that desire or
lust (Moh) is the root
causeof allmentalillness-
es. Infatuation, limitless
greed, anger, jealousy,
wickedness and other
such sentiments, with
very few aware of the en-
tire list, are the underly-
ing cause of all physical
ailments. Just one disease
is sufficient to kill any-
body, and there are so
many around. When all
living beings suffer from
mental ailments, how can
peace (Samadhi) be at-
tained? Discipline, Reli-
gion (Dharma), ethical
conduct, dedication (Tap),
knowledge, rituals (Yag-
ya), charity and many
similar palliatives may be
tried. But none of them
cure mental disease. The
blessings of Ram can
alonedestroyallailments.
That is the gist of the rel-
evant passages from the
Ramcharitmanas. Trying
to link them to our cur-
rent pandemic is unrea-
sonable, as some experts
ontheManashavealready
declared.

T
he Covid-19 pan-
demic has en-
gulfed our atten-
tion these days.
Social media is, as usual,
active on this topic also.
Many posts, dealing with
the claim that great sages
and preceptors foresaw
the prevalent pandemic,
are going viral. One of
them caught my atten-
tion. It goes something
like this –
“Are some stanzas of the
epic, Ramayan, coming
true today? Our current
experience is described in
Dohas 120 and 121.” The
concerned post goes on to
quote the relevant por-
tions.
“Sab kai ninda je jad
karhin, te chamgadur
hoi avatarhin.
Kam bat kaf lobh
apara, krodh pitta nit
chhati jara.
Ek byadhi bas nar
marhin, ei asadh bahu
byadhi.
Ehi bidhi sakal jeev jag
rogi, sok harash bhay prit
biyogi.
Ram kripa nasai sab
roga, jaun eh bhanti ba-
nay sanjoga”
The viral post explains,
“when condemnation in-
creases in the world and
sins multiply, then bats will
be born on the earth. Dis-
ease related to them will
spread in all directions.
People will die because of
this disease, and there is
just one panacea – remem-
ber God, charity and live in
Samadhi, or under lock-
down.”

An opinion based on
distorted facts gar-
nering a viral following
may appear surprising.
But that is the new nor-
mal for our world closely
connected through the
social media platforms.
‘Post Truth’, as a term,
came up in the context of
the Trump Election and
the Brexit Vote. Oxford
Dictionary in 2016 accept-
ed it as the word of the
year. However, the Cam-
bridge Dictionary pro-
vides an apt meaning - re-
lating to a situation in
which people are more
likely to accept an argu-
ment based on their emo-
tions and beliefs rather
than one based on facts.
The Manas is a gem of
devotional poetry in the
vernacular language that
made it accessible to the
common man. It has
many layers of deep phil-
osophical meaning em-
bedded in its text for the
seeker to try to fathom.
Sadly, an attempt is being
made to use it, as a drunk
would use a lamp post –
for support rather than
illumination. We often
end up finding what we
seek.

ples. As many as 2,008
people have been tested
positive for novel coro-
navirus in the state till
Friday afternoon, of
which 473 or 24 per cent
have been cured and 193
of them have been sent
home.
The state has also
reported death of 32
patients, which ac-
cording to the health
minister is the lowest
among stats with high
number of cases.
“The growth rate of
positive cases has
come down in the
state. The test results
which are coming now
are mostly of pending
samples. Fresh posi-
tive cases are less
now,” the minister
said. The health minis-
ter attributed this im-
provement to hard work
of doctors and better
medical arrangements
of thestategovernment.
Dr Sharma also said
that the state has
ramped up its testing
capacity and it was way
ahead of other states in
testing. The testing ca-
pacity of state has been
increased to 5,000 tests
per day and the target is
to double it in the next
few days, he added.
“We are making ar-
rangements for quick
testing of samples.
More tests would help
us contain the conta-
gion. Testing would be
in hot spots,” he added.
A government offi-
cial, referring to an
assessment of the
state health depart-
ment, said the current
growth rate of coro-
navirus cases in Ra-
jasthan was less than
what was projected.
“There has been a de-
crease in the growth
rate after April 14. If
we go by the growth
rate during first phase
of the lockdown
(March 25 to April 14),
the number of COV-
ID-19 patients would
have been 2,834 (on
Thursday) during the
second phase of the
lockdown,” the offi-
cial said.
Accounting for near-
ly 38 per cent of the to-
tal cases in the state,
Jaipur is one of the
coronavirus hotspots in
Rajasthan. Of the total
32 deaths, 17 are in
Jaipur alone.
Kota: Authorities in
Rajasthan’s Hadoti
region are extra vigi-
lant during the lock-
down to make sure
child marriages tak-
ing place on Akshaya
Tritiya, which falls
on April 26, are pre-
vented. No report of
child marriages has
surfaced so far from
Kota, Bundi, Jhalawar
and Baran districts in
the region.
Akshaya Tritiya, also
known as Akha Teej, is
believed to be an auspi-
cious occasion when
girls and boys are tied
in nuptial knots in large
numbers, particularly
in the rural belt of Had-
oti region.
According to a re-
cent report by the Na-
tional Commission
for Protection of
Child Rights, the
prevalence of child
marriage is 89.4 per
cent in rural areas of
Rajasthan, while 10.6
per cent in urban ar-
eas of the state.
The authorities in
the four districts initi-
ate awareness pro-
grammes and set up
control rooms every
year to check child mar-
riages.
“This year, the re-
ports of possible child
marriages around
Akshaya Tritiya are
zero so far as no child
marriage is supposed
to be taking place in
the district due to
strict enforcement of
the lockdown,” Depu-
ty Director of Inte-
grated Child Develop-
ment Services (ICDS),
Bundi, Bhairu Prake-
sh Nagar said.
He said anganwadi
and ASHA workers are
already in the field to
conduct surveys in con-
nection with coronavi-
rus and they have not
reported any suspected
child marriage in the
area so far.
Forty-eight cases of
child marriages were
reported to the dis-
trict control room in
Bundi on Akshaya
Tritiya last year, Na-
gar said. Kota District
Collector Om Kasera
on Thursday directed
officials to ensure
that no child mar-
riage takes place in
the district.
Officials of an NGO
– Childline – are divided
over their opinion on
child marriages taking
place in the region.
Childline coordina-
tor in Kota Alka
Ajmera said, “We re-
ceive a lot of calls on
child marriages from
across the district
around Akshaya
Tritiya every year,
but this year no call
reporting about child
marriage has been re-
ceived so far due to
the lockdown.”
But the coordinator
of Kota Railway Child-
line, Bhupendra Singh,
said child marriages
are likely to take place
in rural areas in the
usual manner as the en-
tire government ma-
chinery is focused on
fighting against COV-
ID-19. —PTI

Jaipur: A youth in
Bhilwara has had to
‘quarantine’ himself
on a tree after being
refused entry to his
village recently. The
24-year-old Kamlesh
Meena walked all the
way from Ajmer to
reach his village Sher-
pura in Bhilwara,
however, was stopped
by villagers while en-
tering into his village
fearing corona spread.
He was advised to go
to district hospital first
and get himself tested.
However, Kamlesh re-
fused to go out of his
village. As the tension
gripped the village, a
medical team soon
reached the spot and
collected the samples
of youth. Other medi-
cal tests were also
done.Meanwhile, the
medical team to sort
out the issue, asked
Kamlesh to come
along to Bhilwara
quarantine centre.
However one of the sec-
tion of villagers did not
allow them to do the
same. After a long de-
bate, it was decided to
quarantine the youth 3
kms far off the village
on a tree. A temporary
ladder was put aside a
tree to help this man
come down to attend na-
ture’s call. A medical
team has been coming
daily to test him.
Meanwhile district
collector Rajendra
Bhatt said that this
man is healthy. “As he
did not want to go to
quarantine centre, he
was quarantined on a
tree.” Kamlesh’ father
Sagarmal said that his
son was a daily wager
in Ajmer. After lock-
down, he was stranded
in the city and waited
for some vehicle, how-
ever, when he did not
get any vehicle, he
walked 150 kilometres
to reach his village. As
villagers objected to his
entry in village, he
started living on a tree
by making a ‘machan’
on it. We are giving him
two meals and water,”
he added. —IANS

Jaipur: Gone are the
days when Rajasthan
cadre IAS ruled the
roost while deputing
in the central govern-
ment in Delhi. There
was a time when as
many as 10 state cadre
IAS were posted in
Delhi as secretaries to
important depart-
ments. The condition is
so pathetic today that
only one state cadre IAS
is on deputation with
the central government.
Usha Sharma had to
wait for 8 long years
in Delhi to get empan-
elled and become Sec-
retary in ordinary de-
partment like Youth
Affairs & Sports.
There isn’t much to
sing about even on the
Additional Secretary
level where only Mad-
hukar Gupta and San-
jay Malhotra are post-
ed with Gupta due to
retirement in coming
September.

mentinthematteristhat

in this list. 1987 batch
Neel Kamal Darbari
has been empanelled
as Secretary Equiva-
lent in the list while
1987 batch Veenu Gup-
ta could not make it to
the list yet again. 1991
batch Sudhansh Pant

Bae Worth
Watching!
CITY FIRST
he year 2020 was
awaited for many rea-
sons and the Bay-
watch documentary
slotted for an April
2020 release, was defi-
nitely one of them.
With the Worldwide lockdown
at present, there is no update
on the release of the documen-
tary of this most-watched TV
show during its tenure from
1989-2001.
Filmmakers Matthew Felker
and Brian Corso lined up some
of the show’s top-billed cast
members to take a walk down
memory lane for Baywatch and
talk about their time on the
show and the hours they spent
in skimpy red suits. But be-
yond the iconic beachwear, the
Documentary will take a deep-
er dive into the cultural impact
of the long-running syndicated
show. Further, it will investi-
gate the cast, their participa-
tion, anecdotes from filming,
and where they are now.
Baywatch, the American
drama television series is
about the Los Angeles County
lifeguards as well as Hawaii
Lifeguards who patrol the
beaches of Los Angeles Coun-
ty, California, and Hawaii,
starring David Hasselhoff. The
show led to a spin-off, Bay-
watch Nights, and three direct-
to-video films: Baywatch the
Movie: Forbidden Paradise,
Baywatch: White Thunder
at Glacier Bay, and Bay-
watch: Hawaiian Wedding.
We have a special connec-
tion to Baywatch as our very
own Priyanka Chopra made a
glam Hollywood movie debut
as vampy Victoria Leeds in
Baywatch, the R-rated movie
remake of the campy TV se-
ries. The former Miss World
rocks power outfits and 5-inch
Louboutins as an evil real-es-
tate developer able to look
meddling lifeguard Mitch Bu-
channon (6-foot-5 Dwayne
Johnson in the role made fa-
mous by David Hasselhoff)
dead in the eye.
“Being a villain is awesome.
It’s so good to be bad,” says
Chopra. She surprised her-
self by gleefully unleashing
her “inner Victoria” each
morning on the set. “It’s like,
why do I like being evil so
much? Why
do I have
so much fun tor-
turing people?”
It’s this kind of un-
bridled baddie joy that
compelled director Seth
Gordon to cast Chopra af-
ter a Skype call to dis-
cuss a part for her as a
lifeguard. Gordon saw
her dark side and imme-
diately changed the
film’s planned male bad-
die from Victor to Victo-
ria while rejiggering the
shooting schedule to ac-
commodate Chopra’s
Quantico work.

kind of person.
n the dark of night, a
striking figure decked
out like a film-noir
femme fatale material-
izes along a road side,
toting leather luggage
and a Singer sewing ma-
chine. She is clearly dressed to
impress with her crimson lip-
stick, white gloves, cocked-just-
so chapeau, wavy blonde locks
and a black-and-white ensemble
that conforms to her womanly
shape as if it were her birthday
suit.
She takes a slow drag on her
cigarette and issues this state-
ment of intent that is more of a
warning than greeting: “I’m
back, you bastards!”
If that weren’t enough, a car
stops and a uniformed constable
gets out. He briefly stares before
inquiring, “Is that, uh … Dior?”
It’s quite an entrance in quite
a movie. However, when it comes
to “The Dressmaker,” nothing is
ever enough. And that is its main
problem.
Another woman who can
rightfully proclaim, “I’m back,”
is Australian director and
screenwriter Jocelyn Moor-
house. She made a splash in the
‘90s with “Proof,” “How to Make
an American Quilt” and “A
Thousand Acres,” before taking
time off to raise her family.
Now, 18 years later, she has
adapted a book by Rosalie Ham
with a script co-written by hub-
by P.J. Hogan of “Muriel’s Wed-
ding” fame that is positively ex-
ploding with a surfeit of pent-up
creative energy that unfortu-
nately doesn’t know when to
stop.
Not that “The Dressmaker” is
ever dull and is even more than
occasionally delightful in its
nuttiness. This ultimately ex-
hausting tilt-a-whirl of a revenge
tale set in 1951 that takes place
in the mythical dusty Down Un-
der hamlet of Dungatar embrac-
es all manner of influences—
spaghetti Westerns, a Tim Bur-
ton-esque aesthetic, a warped
world view that rivals John Wa-
ters, a small mob of morally cor-
rupt Dickensian-style eccentrics
and a story whose wild tonal
shifts range from Tex Avery car-
toony to Douglas Sirk melodra-
matic.
The lady above is one Myrtle
“Tilly” Dunnage (Kate Winslet,
providing a captivating harbor
in this storm of kookiness),
who has returned to the
community that once ban-
ished her as a child. She
is ostensibly there to
care for her dotty
crank of a mother,
Mad Molly (a cantan-
kerously cagey Judy
Davis, nearly unrec-
ognizable until her
character regains
her wits and pret-
ty much steals
the movie), who
has been living
in pungent
squalor. But Til-
ly also is clearly
out to right
some wrongs
while shedding
a light on a
tragic incident
from the past
that she can’t
quite recall.
All that
sounds
quite
logical, until Tilly, who learned
how to make haute-couture de-
signs while in Paris, hauls out
her sewing machine and starts a
business doing fashion makeo-
vers for Dungatar’s frumpy fe-
male citizenry. This budding
Edith Head also has an unusual
way of attracting her first cus-
tomers: She disrupts a rugby
match by showing up in a curve-
clinging scarlet gown before
changing into an even more
striking Rita Hayworth-inspired
black dress—eventually causing
the opposing team to lose by sim-
ply stripping off its matching
jacket. It’s as if “Project Run-
way” took over the Super Bowl.
In the midst of all this, we are
rushed through introductions to
a raft of quirky characters.
Some make an instant impres-
sion, such as Hugo Weaving’s
slyly campy rendition of a cross-
dressing police sergeant who
can’t help but hungrily caress
Tilly’s luxurious fabrics with
his eyes (shades of his drag
queen in “The Adventures of
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”).
Then there is Liam Hemsworth
as hunky farmer Teddy, who
quite fancies the reluctant Tilly.
Until now, I have primarily
thought of this actor as
Chris Hemsworth’s young-
er, less talented but equally
strapping brother. But work-
ing in his native Australia
seems to have unleashed a
very fetching devil-may-care
nonchalance that casts
quite a masculine spell.
Also, please note that al-
though they are meant to
be contemporaries, Win-
slet’s a luscious 40 years
old while Hemsworth is
26—and it doesn’t
make a whit of differ-
ence. Gender parity at
its finest.
Naturally, evil also
lurks in Dungatar and it
takes several forms, in-
cluding a hunchback
town pharmacist and wife
abuser who greets Tilly by hiss-
ing, “Your mother’s a slut and
you’re a bastard,” the rumor-
mongering female schoolteacher
whose lies caused Tilly to be
forced out of town and the wom-
anizing councilman who tor-
ments his clean-freak wife. By
the time a rival seamstress
strolls into town slinging her
own Singer, Moorhouse is clear-
ly guilty of over-accessorizing
her already jam-packed fable.
Still, certain individual scenes
are gems and stand out like state-
ment pieces. Davis is at her riot-
ous best when she accompanies
Tilly and Teddy on a date to see
“Sunset Boulevard” at a local
cinema. Molly’s repulsed reac-
tion to the gorgon-like visage of
Gloria Swanson’s aging movie
queen is beyond priceless—espe-
cially when the silent-screen diva
puts the moves on William Hold-
en’s gigolo of a screenwriter.
