Earlier this week, the announcement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would break his silence and do his first television interview in office generated huge interest. Besides novelty and the choice of the most favoured news anchor, there was greater interest on the points he would talk about.
First, the interaction came just after India’s failure to secure membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group despite the much-hyped attempt led by Mr Modi. Second, the interview was also in the backdrop of Reserve Bank governor Raghuram Rajan’s announcement that he would not seek a second term. Third, the decision on the tête-à-tête was taken when the BJP’s motormouths had revived a communally-surcharged campaign in Uttar Pradesh as the state headed for elections eight months later. There were several other issues too, including the farm crisis and the monsoon slowing despite the positive signals earlier, the spurt of terrorism in Kashmir, the shattered Pakistan policy and a dip in the aam aadmi’s index of satisfaction with government https://www.xtanchor.com/product/mechanical-anchors/drop-in-anchor.html wholesale drop in anchors performance. How much of this would Mr Modi touch upon if asked And what would he say The interview was no different from the standard Modi interventions. Like on every such occasion, he converted this opening too into an opportunity. He came, he spoke and he conquered — at least among the bhakts. Make no mistake, this was another Modi monologue with limited prods and some polite counter-questions.
The interview, however, is an important pointer to the Prime Minister’s thinking on some crucial issues and what lay behind some recent initiatives.The PM’s references to China merit close inspection, to assess if this strategy will bring Beijing to the table for a reasonable discussion on India’s NSG candidature. When I heard Mr Modi take pride in being able to "speak to China eye-to-eye and put forth India’s interests in the most unambiguous manner", I was reminded of several instances when Indian cricket teams prepared for overseas trips and pace bowlers of rival teams began psychological warfare by warning them to get ready to face "chin music". What was the need to use this phrase and risk Beijing’s predictable response, accusing India of being the "spoilt, smug golden boy of the West" What additional benefits would India have got by membership beyond the NSG waiver that India secured in 2008 Is this significant enough to jeopardise our fragile ties with China Mr Modi would have come prepared to face questions on Dr Rajan’s imminent departure. But all that Subramanian Swamy got by way of disapproval was a solitary line: "Such things are inappropriate... The nation won’t benefit from such publicity stunts. One should be more responsible while conducting themselves." If ever there was a benign rebuke, this was it. True, there’s no need for the PM to use the lowly language that Mr Swamy has made his hallmark, but there was a real need for a sterner ticking-off.There was, however, not even the apology of a reprimand for the fringe forces, which are once again putting the communal cauldron on the boil in UP. Mr Modi repeated what he had already said in Allahabad at his party’s national executive, that he believed "the nation should progress on the issue of development". But then he tells the media not to "make heroes out of those people who make such comments". But they are leaders of the ruling party and the larger Sangh Parivar.
The onus of controlling them has to be on Mr Modi and his party. The media merely reports what it considers newsworthy, and if the BJP MP from Kairana makes a blatantly wrong claim on the mass exodus of Hindus, this must be disapproved of publicly by the leadership.Repeat violators must face disciplinary action. Mr Modi’s limitation on this issue is understandable as he has an election to win and this won’t be possible unless he holds the development placard in front of his cavalcade and asks potential troublemakers to remain hidden below and strike furtively whenever suitable. There is also considerable doubt if the BJP’s fringe is not really the mainstream, or is its actual face. After all, party chief Amit Shah spoke from the same platform as Mr Modi, but he spared no time for talk of development. Instead, he focused on the now-proven-wrong exodus from the western UP town. But Mr Modi didn’t accept his responsibility and instead stayed firm in his argument that the situation is vitiated by such leaders because the media gives play to their provocative statements.As we rarely get an opportunity to hear Mr Modi on the pressing issue of job creation, his thoughts on this were specially important. The PM doesn’t sound as enthusiastic now on mega job-creating initiatives like "Make in India" (that was referred to only once, and that too by the interviewer) and instead emphasised on ordinary people becoming entrepreneurs with loans under Mudra Yojana.
From an economic dream built on mega ideas, Mr Modi has now recalibrated his goals to generating jobs by small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs. He says that the government has allowed small shopkeepers to keep shops open for longer hours seven days a week to bring them at par with businesses in shopping malls.
The problem is not of opening shops but to ensure that they don’t shut down. A short walk in any neighbourhood mall in major cities will reveal vacant retail spaces and few buyers as people don’t have resources to splurge. The housing sector, instead of providing jobs, is facing the challenge of a growing inventory of unsold properties for a variety of reasons, the most important being the resource crunch of potential buyers.
Forget about creating more jobs, the first challenge is to ensure those who have jobs continue to get their monthly salaries on time.Mr Modi’s problems primarily stem from being able to step down from his campaign vehicle. While lofty ideas, e-mandis for instance, sound seductive during election campaigns when delivered eloquently and with dramatic gestures, they appear insincere amid multiple problems. The real challenge for Mr Modi is to bridge the growing gap between promises and delivery. But this doesn’t seem feasible with the vision he demonstrated in the course of the 85-minute interview. There is need for more substance, Mr Modi.The writer is the author of Narendra Modi: The Man, the Times and Sikhs: The Untold Agony of 1984.

Particularly when Sidhu had only recently been roundly chastised for hugging and kissing his former cricketing foe and now great friend, PM Imran Khan, as well as a couple of Pakistani military bosses. No wonder they dub the television set the idiot box. We are talking about votes, silly. Not with guns but with bat and ball at the World Cup in England this summer. Nothing happened for hours on end, but everybody was glued. The Indian forces have been literally spoiling for a fight with our unreliable neighbours, and post the Pulwama blast, the Government obliged with a bit of muscle flexing and machismo courtesy our fighter jets - the Indian Air Force giving terror camps inside Pakistan territory in Balakot, a taste of their own medicine. At least, that is the Opposition’s barb. The opposition parties collectively clamouring for ‘proof’ that the air strikes were actually successfully carried out.

You can never keep the garrulous Sardar out of the action. All of which prompted further inscrutable ‘pictorial evidence’ and cumbersome explanations by channels sympathetic or antagonistic to the government. The first casualty is invariably tourism. The Opposition parties accusing the Government of cynically exploiting the situation with one eye firmly on the elections, which in itself is being seen as a mean and cynical ploy on the Opposition’s part, when all parties should come together for good. Finally the brilliantly moustachioed ‘braveheart’ crossed the border and was swiftly whisked off for a debriefing and medical check-up. With an election looming, nothing can be timelier than a bit of aggression across the border. War (what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing.

A few seconds was all we got to see the hero of the hour. Recalling those pounding lyrics, War (what is it good for?)

The education policy is a case in point
2020年3月24日 日常And few employers treat them as family members. But those working on such reforms should be aware of how much impact https://www.xtanchor.com/product/mechanical-anchors/sleeve-anchor.html wholesale sleeve anchors they can have. Domestic servants tend to be seated on different tables at restaurants because they are usually not allowed at the dining table in homes either.The PTI government wants to deprive politicians accused of corruption of facilities in prison.Explaining the various categories of prisoners (regarding facilities), the story stated that the 1978 law on the issue classified prisoners as superior class, ordinary class and political.)At present, unfortunately or fortunately, we continue to live in an unequal and class-based society, but prefer to pretend otherwise — hence, the moral outrage when pictures of servants being seated on different tables at restaurants surface, or parks put up signs banning domestic servants from entering the premises. Instead, the government is arguing that the private and public streams give rise to two different classes; creating the impression that the school systems create inequality, while in reality the inequality has led to the different systems. The latest announcement was hardly a bolt from the blue; the government has said this time and again. Withdrawing air conditioners or televisions from those accused of misusing state money will not eliminate corruption (or class differences). The government has set up a committee of experts — a favoured approach — to figure out how to do this.In both their promises on education and prisons, the PTI seems to be under the impression that steps such as a single curriculum or withdrawal of facilities for politicians will address the larger issues plaguing our society — be it the class differences or corruption. The quaint phrases suggest that some of the language has been used as it appeared in the law, which in turn may have been based on the laws introduced by the British prior to 1947.
The education policy is a case in point. The education ministry is working hard on creating a uniform curriculum which will be applicable to all schools — public and private. The politicians tend to benefit from it as do others who are used to "a superior mode of living".This is not to say the government should not make such efforts. If the PTI were serious, it would focus on strengthening the state’s ability to prosecute — to give a single example — rather than harping on about facilities in jails, which is a provincial subject. But a curriculum and language are simply one aspect of our unequal society. Undertrials, on the other hand, are either "better" or "ordinary". And money can and does make a difference everywhere; expensive, private schools exist even in places such as Canada which boast of a good public-sector education system. If an outsider were to see the remarks and the outrage, he or she would never be able to guess that many of those tweeting or protesting come from homes employing domestic servants. There are few details available. (For truth be told, the Brits did not have to pretend that all — native — citizens were equal, and hence would have catered for social difference even in prison. The prime minister himself told expatriate Pakistanis in the US that he would take away Asif Ali Zardari’s and Nawaz Sharif’s air-conditioner and television.By arrangement with Dawn.
The announcement by the information minister over the weekend was perhaps just to reassure PTI supporters that he had not forgotten his promise to continue punishing those who had looted the country’s money. And it seems as if Khan, and the rest of the PTI, would rather ignore the larger picture and only focus on the corruption of political leaders and the comforts they enjoy in jails because they have little else to offer right now. With governance proving to be a challenge, and with little money to spend, the prime minister has to keep reiterating his tough stand on corruption to assure his supporters; this is how this air conditioner/ television nonsense is unpacked by those watching. Most of this costs money. Alongside the story of this announcement, Dawn also carried an article headlined, "Decoding prison class system".
The way the government puts it, it appears they think a uniform curriculum will provide the same advantage to all and sundry. In truth, we live in an unequal society with a strong class system.However, this is not the most worrying aspect of the PTI’s behaviour — not only is the party naïve when it comes to the larger inequality present in society, it also thinks state-imposed rules and laws can change complex realities.
Even with the same textbooks, there is so much else which determines grades: school facilities, quality of teachers, extra tuition and so on. The focus should be on improving the standards of the government education system. According to the story, the better or ‘A’ class of prisoners are "casual prisoners" who by "social status, education and habit of life" are accustomed to a "superior mode of living". And this class system allows our prison system to differentiate between prisoners based on their background and education where — as in the rest of the country — one prisoner is allowed to get another to serve him.But there is outrage because we like to believe in equality — at least in public.

RIL expects certain external investors to bring in capital into these trusts which will be further dropped down into two subsidiaries to refinance liabilities as well as pay for part of its investments into these assets, HSBC said."It, however, remains to be seen how much money does Softbank actually put in, what the implied https://www.xtanchor.com/product/mechanical-anchors/chemical-anchor.html chemical anchor equity valuation is and if the e-commerce venture is included in the Jio entity.

This comes on the back of reports of Saudi giant Aramco in discussions to buy a 25 per cent stake in Reliance Industries refining and petrochemical business for USD 10-15 billion."Softbank has long been seen as a potential investor in Jio," JPMorgan said in a research report."In our view, for a meaningful de-leveraging, investors would likely want to see an equity inflow of more than USD 5 billion from a single investor or a combination of investors," JPMorgan said valuing Jio at USD 50 billion."Jio has transferred its 7 lakh route km of fibre and 1."RIL will monetise these investments once external investors bring capital into the InvITs in the coming months."We think deleveraging will remain a key theme, with more asset sales likely," it said.It, however, put implied equity value at USD 25 billion."A potentially smaller equity sale, which although would establish a larger equity value of Jio, would not be seen as a meaningful positive, in our view," it said."As of now, Jio is the carriage and content vehicle, while Reliance Retail is the offline retailer. Reliance Retail was valued at an implied equity value of USD 35 billion.This was a result of the restructuring of the telecom operations (Jio) by transferring control of its key assets - fibre and towers - to two separate infrastructure trusts (InvITs) along with Rs 70,000 crore (USD 10 billion) of external liabilities and part of RILs investments of Rs 36,600 crore (USD 5 billion).7 billion in third quarter.
"For the past 2 years, our conversations with investors have highlighted expectations of Softbank investing in Jio and hence the news flow is not surprising."Overall, we maintain our view that while the earnings environment for the company is deteriorating with downside risks to refining and petchem (petrochemical), stock multiples would keep on moving higher on expectations of potentially large stake sales on higher than current implied equity values for the various businesses," JPMorgan said.Control of these subsidiaries is transferred to two separate infrastructure trusts (InvIT) which will be managed by an independent party. "Strong earnings momentum, emerging signs of a strong outlook for both the telecom and retail businesses which extend beyond this decade..In a separate report, HSBC Global Research said RILs consolidated adjusted net debt has declined to USD 33.
It remains to be seen where the eventual commerce would sit - Jio or Retail, and whether it would be part of any Jio equity stake.It said investors will initially likely regard this restructuring as mainly a financing transaction to offload debt from RILs balance sheet, considering there is limited clarity on payments by Jio as well as any revenue upside from other customers.It was reported that SoftBanks Vision fund is currently undertaking due diligence to buy a stake in Jio Infocomm, which in September 2016 launched pure play fourth-generation or 4G technology-based telecom services and within a span of two years have become Indias third largest telecom company with highest monthly subscriber additions.
In addition, RIL expects a business case beyond Jios usage as other telecom operators and customers can also lease these assets and can participate in any such upside after the trusts service liabilities of Rs 1,07,000 crore," HSBC said.Both Reliance and SoftBank spokespersons declined to comment on the matter.

Reliance Retail was valued at an implied equity value of USD 35 billion.This was a result of the restructuring of the telecom operations (Jio) by transferring control of its key assets - fibre and towers - to two separate infrastructure trusts (InvITs) along with Rs 70,000 crore (USD 10 billion) of external liabilities and part of RILs investments of Rs 36,600 crore (USD 5 billion).7 billion in third quarter.
"For the past 2 years, our conversations with investors have highlighted expectations of Softbank investing in Jio and hence the news flow is not surprising."Overall, we maintain our view that while the earnings environment for the company is deteriorating with downside risks to refining and petchem (petrochemical), stock multiples would keep on moving higher on expectations of potentially large stake sales on higher than current implied equity values for the various businesses," JPMorgan said.Control of these subsidiaries is transferred to two separate infrastructure trusts (InvIT) which will be managed by an independent party. "Strong earnings momentum, emerging signs of a strong outlook for both the telecom and retail businesses which extend beyond this decade..In a separate report, HSBC Global Research said RILs consolidated adjusted net debt has declined to USD 33.
It remains to be seen where the eventual commerce would sit - Jio or Retail, and whether it would be part of any Jio equity stake.It said investors will initially likely regard this restructuring as mainly a financing transaction to offload debt from RILs balance sheet, considering there is limited clarity on payments by Jio as well as any revenue upside from other customers.It was reported that SoftBanks Vision fund is currently undertaking due diligence to buy a stake in Jio Infocomm, which in September 2016 launched pure play fourth-generation or 4G technology-based telecom services and within a span of two years have become Indias third largest telecom company with highest monthly subscriber additions.
In addition, RIL expects a business case beyond Jios usage as other telecom operators and customers can also lease these assets and can participate in any such upside after the trusts service liabilities of Rs 1,07,000 crore," HSBC said.Both Reliance and SoftBank spokespersons declined to comment on the matter.

Great Britain is one of two countries
2020年3月9日 日常The ‘Task Force’ mooted by the PM could be the trigger to effect this change. Only 13 out of 85 athletes — leaving aside the two hockey teams — could match or better their previous best performances.For instance, Tory Prime Minister John Major plugged sports into Great Britain’s National Lottery after the 1996 when the results showed a hugely disappointing one gold medal and 15 medals overall.Without the right people, it can fizzle out into cronyism, nepotism, and consequently certain mediocrity. At Rio, they dislodged China from the no. But it must go beyond just lip service for there have been similar experiments in the past with little success. In the early 1980s, the All Indian Council For Sports was formed under the stewardship of Field Marshal Sam Maneckshaw. Call it a ‘Task Force’ if you will.The Task Force will also be the interface with sports federations, involved in designing competitions, setting up centres of excellence, establishing benchmarks that must be met.In fact, India finished with just two medals, one less than in Beijing in 2008 and four fewer than in the 2012 London Games.. No amount of outrage over the caustic (and admitedly insensitive) tweets — notably by writer Shobhaa De and British TV anchor Piers Morgan — can obscure the fact that we have fared badly. 2 spot in gold medals.The sooner this is accepted without pointless rancour, the better.Auditing performance of federations and athletes should be unforgiving as the Task Force would be responsible for disbursing funds provided by the government.I have advocated for a while now that a National Sports Council replace the sports ministry.This policy survived changes in government. These unedifying statistics suggest that — at least in Olympic disciplines — India has been moribund. The nomenclature is unimportant.Not surprisingly, the Sports Authority of India’s projection that the country would win between 12-18 medals (according to CNN-News18) was hit for a six.V. Successive sports ministers have not been able to provide either the vision or momentum to help India make the breakthrough. In short, it would be back to square one.Success will depend on the developmental programme that emerges, and how diligently this is executed.The AICS was revived in July 2002 with Vijay Malhotra as chairman (and given the rank of a cabinet minister), but the council could achieve little as it was entrenched in politics rather than focusing on improving sports.The supply line from bottom to top will be sustained by spotting talent early, proper nurturing and then making superb facilities — coaching, sports medicine et al — available at the apex. At the bottom end, it must expand the outreach for sports in collaboration with the education, health, HRD ministries and the community.
Great Britain is one of two countries (Azerbaijan the other) that has shown a growth in number of medals in every Olympics since 2000. Also, that 119 athletes had in fact qualified for the Olympics is not something to be sniffed at. For sports, democracy politics can be a stumbling block to progress. What and how it does things that is crucial. Effort should be made to make development and the pursuit of excellence agnostic to political parties and ideologies.The https://www.xtanchor.com/product/mechanical-anchors/wedge-anchor-3.html wedge anchors Manufacturers Task Force must take up from a robust national sports vision.But this must be contextualised to get a truer picture of the Rio campaign.At the very least, a special ‘Task Force’ to boost sports in India, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a meeting of the Union council of ministers on Friday, acknowledges that the country’s performance at Rio was disappointing.In my opinion, a sports ministry is an indulgence, a hindrance and should be done away with.
This would mean that the body is greatly empowered.There is obviously a great sense of pride in the achievements of P. And this depends on who makes up the Task Force. Unless a fresh agenda which aims at lifting Indian sports from the bootstraps, out of the morass of mediocrity is in place soon, we will continue to languish at the bottom. Sindhu, Sakshi Malik and Dipa Karmakar. At the top, it must aim to produce and fine tune elite athletes. This was dissolved in 1984 since very few of the proposals made by the AICS got a move on.

Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides said a small number of flight tests are pending. "Release is like freefall at an amusement park, except it keeps going," Moses said. "If the space program is successful as I think . The move to New Mexico puts the company in the "home stretch," Whitesides said.. then the sky is the limit. He declined to set a specific deadline for the first commercial flight. It is carried under a special plane to an altitude of about 50,000 feet (15,240 meters) before detaching and igniting its rocket engine.. The manufacturing of the space vehicles by a sister enterprise, The Spaceship Company, will remain based in the community of Mojave, California.
"We need the financial impetus to be able to do all that," he said. "Our future success as a species rests on the planetary perspective. I will be able to see it forever."Space tourism has not been a complete novelty since millionaire US engineer Dennis Tito in 2001 paid USD 20 million to join a Russian space mission to the International Space Station. The perspective that we know comes sharply into focus when that planet is viewed from the black sky of space," Branson said.Branson said Friday at a news conference that Virgin Galactics development and testing programme has advanced enough to make the move to the custom-tailored hangar and runway at the taxpayer-financed Spaceport America facility near the town of Truth or Consequences. "Pictures do not do the view from space justice. Virgin Galactics spaceship development has taken far longer than expected and had a major setback when the companys first experimental craft broke apart during a 2014 test flight, killing the co-pilot. Before you know it, youre supersonic. "And then the rocket motor lights."The companys current spaceship doesnt launch from the ground. The endeavour began in 2004 when Branson announced the founding of Virgin Galactic in the heady days after the flights of SpaceShipOne, https://www.xtanchor.com/ anchor bolts Manufacturers the first privately financed manned spacecraft that made three flights into space."
In February, a new version of Virgin Galactics winged craft SpaceShipTwo soared at three times the speed of sound to an altitude of nearly 56 miles (99 kilometers) in a test flight over Southern California, as a crew member soaked in the experience. Bransons goal has been to "democratise" space by opening travel up to more and more people.
He indicated, however, that building financial viability comes first. He said he believes space tourism is likely to bring about profound change.Santa Fe: Billionaire Richard Branson is moving Virgin Galactics winged passenger rocket and more than 100 employees from California to a remote commercial launch and landing facility in southern New Mexico, bringing his space-tourism dream a step closer to reality. "Everything is silent and still and you can unstrap and float about the cabin," she said.An interior cabin for the companys space rocket is being tested and pilots and engineers are among the employees relocating from California to New Mexico.Branson described a vision of hotels in space and a network of spaceports allowing supersonic, transcontinental travel anywhere on earth within a few hours.
Taxpayers invested over USD 200 million in Spaceport America after Branson and then Governor Bill Richardson, a Democrat, pitched the plan for the facility, with Virgin Galactic as the anchor tenant.Branson thanked New Mexico politicians and residents for their patience over the past decade.On Friday, that crew member, Beth Moses, recounted her voyage into weightlessness and the visual spectacle of pitch-black space and the earth below.
