Directors too have their special takes on this issue. Feroz Khan (Director Gandhi, My Father) believes it is because “One fine day they wake up and realize that beyond their clichéd, ghisa-pita filmy stuff, there are loads of people who connect with it. They deal, in an entertaining and engaging fashion with stories that celebrate the little joys of life, powered by values like truth and reality. They realize too… that in the end, it’s not glamour, fame and box office that endures – but respect, honour and prestige.” Leena Yadav (Director, Shabd) adds her own spin, “C’mon ya, who doesn’t want to do roles to die for? Real/Parallel cinema offers stars just that. Presenting them both a challenge and an opportunity. Having tasted glamour and fame, they usually grab these roles and guess what? Frequently they surprise themselves with performances they never imagined they could unleash …” John Mathew Mathan (Director, Sarfarosh) agrees, “I think it has to do primarily with the director-actor trust. This has to be mutual and is non-negotiable. Stars have to be cautious because the whole world wants to exploit them. Once that confidence is established – half the battle is won.”

Rituparno Ghosh, (Director, The Last Lear) seemed the most appropriate person to have the last words… And he doesn’t let the team down. “Stars are not the dumbos they are (wrongly) made out to be. They have a sixth sense and are hungry for roles that allow them to demonstrate their worth. However, it calls for a special kind of sensitivity and sensibility to encourage them to let go … without scaring or humiliating them or making them feel insecure and foolish. They are an extraordinarily vulnerable bunch, always in the public eye, judged, celebrated or trashed every Friday! You have to love them, nurture them, protect them, build self-confidence and self-belief … and then, watch them fly. Trust me, I know what I am talking about!” And so the affair continues to take on dynamic momentum …

there is nothing in law that has been stated related to HIV.

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Anil, who has interacted with many positive people to date by virtue of his work, however advocates transparency but thinks it might require the compulsion of law for many. Mrs. Salvi opines, “Let the couple go to the lab to get the tests done together and go to collect the reports together too but they must get tested. It may save some innocent lives and even help someone know about their status before it gets too late”, as it was in her case, having contracted the infection from her husband.

In India, there is nothing in law that has been stated related to HIV. The provision ‘consent for marriage’ calls for disclosing all facts relevant to marriage and thus could indirectly include HIV as ‘important information’ to be disclosed at the time of marriage, lest the marriage be considered void. Making another law may not guarantee improvement in the situation. If only the government guarantees treatment, and enacts laws against discrimination to reduce the stigma that still rules the society, would people overcome their fear of being lonely forever and volunteer to get tested – not just before marriage but even afterwards…

Miley Stewart or Hannah Montana?

Miley Cyrus is all set to go ‘real’ quite literally as she is truly fascinated by MTV’s "The Real World", which has seven strangers living together for several months while the cameras follow them throughout, and Miley wants to now taste this side of the world. But after her controversial semi-nude pictures for a leading magazine, this "Bolt" star should definitely think twice before jumping into a venture whose success is usually determined by the amount of gossip that it churns out, or be ready for apologising an umpteen number of times!

Ishant emerging real bowler

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

This is reference to your article “Strike Force India” by Tareque Laskar (Nov17-23). The arrival of Ishant Sharma in the Indian cricket team has added new dimensions to the pace-bowling squad .However, it’s too premature to glorify his abilities with pompous epithets. It’s true that Indian team has always been devoid of real pace bowlers. The likes of Kapil Dev, Manoj Prabhakar and Chetan Sharma, to name a few, have rarely appeared in the Indian team at regular intervals. A glimpse into the career graph of a famous pace bowlers show that injuries have always acted as a spoilsport. The ability of a pace bowler to rise above injuries. Going by that standard, Ishant Sharma has to cover a long distance before being hailed as a real fast bowler.

Chris Rehberg shares the results of his quest for the elusive Thylacine...

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

To catch a Tasmanian tiger!

In South Australia, in the late 1960s, there were a spate of sightings as farming land was opened up in the south-east of that state. Then, in 1973, some of the most intriguing film footage was captured of an animal running through a camp-ground with a gait that can only be described as inelegant. If only there were film footage from the 1930s of a running thylacine to make a comparison!

Moving east, Victoria too has its share of sightings with one report suggesting sightings of up to 63 tigers in a state park merely 25km from the capital city. In New South Wales there seems to be a hot-spot on the far north coast with details of 50 sightings being published recently. In 1995, intriguing film footage was again captured, this time in Queensland. This film, together with the 1973 footage from South Australia, is for me the most tangible evidence of Tasmanian tigers alive on the mainland today. The 1990s also heard reports of tigers living in remote regions of Irian Jaya, Indonesia.

In 2005, German tourists Klaus Emmerichs and Birgit Jansen captured two digital photographs they claim show a live Tasmanian tiger. Skeptics quickly dismissed the photos, stating that they were almost identical to a photograph taken in the 1930s. However, these photos became a turning point in my search for the Tasmanian tiger. Having two photos meant that you could build a three dimensional model of the scene being photographed. It would have to be a very clever hoax to produce two photos that show a three-dimensional scene consistently; unless, as critics would say, you are photographing a real cardboard cut-out.

Spending countless hours performing measurements and overlays, holding phone calls with Klaus and email discussions with experts, I had to conclude that no photo will be sufficient to prove the thylacine still exists. However, the analysis led to the birth of my website, "Where Light Meets Dark", dedicated to examining evidence for rare fauna.

What began with tiger fever has grown to encompass devils, quolls, wallabies, potoroos – all bizarre both in name and in nature. There are still gems to be found: a rabbit-like marsupial called Gilbert's potoroo was rediscovered after a 115-year absence; Tasmanian devils have turned up – alive and dead – five times during the 1990s and one book presents evidence for Tasmanian tigers alive and well on the mainland in the 1800s. To catch a tiger – on film at least, please!

Conservation: The Wright path

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Belinda Wright, leading lady when it comes to wildlife protection in India and the Executive Director of Wildlife Protection Society of India addresses a few conservation conundrums for TSI

Would tourism have to bail out wildlife today?

Tourism is a double-edged sword. It’s important as a revenue earner and it also helps to expose more people to wildlife and raise awareness for their conservation. But at the same time too much tourism damages and disturbs the wildlife. What we need is some core areas where wild animals can live without human interference.

Will Sariska make it?

I think it will, although the problems it faces, including the large number of pilgrims and villages inside the park, the highways and mining activity, are all serious and require attention. But I think that a lot of people are genuinely trying to save Sariska.

Is it possible to rehabilitate criminal tribes like Pardhis and Bawariyas?

That’s tricky. These tribes are very secretive and almost completely illiterate. They distrust outsiders and one of the few things that they are really good at is hunting wild animals. Although we have been able to convince some of them to become informers, I don’t think they would be willing to change their ways just like that.

Should we allow controlled hunting of some species (as some other countries do), whose numbers are becoming unmanageable?

I don’t believe we need to emulate that. We are faltering in our conservation and anti-poaching efforts as it is and if we allow hunting, however controlled, it has a very good chance of spiraling out of control. I think we should stick to compensation and relocation to manage large numbers China is the biggest market for illegal animal products from the world over. Is there anything that we can do?

We can certainly apply a lot more diplomatic pressure and increase vigilance. But the fact remains that China represents a very real danger to India’s wildlife.

Swan song of the marshes

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

There's more to wetlands than just water. K S Gopi Sundar, Research Associate (India), International Crane Foundation, tells us why we need to preserve our wetland wealth.

Human civilisation began on river banks and on the shores of large inland lakes. The high soil fertility and a reliable annual cycle of flooding and drying made these areas ideal for planting crops and settling down. Wetlands have been responsible in creating modern human civilisation as we know it today. Shallow water, strong seasonality, and highly productive – these are the three primary traits that characterise wetlands. More than two-thirds of the world’s vertebrate wildlife depends on wetlands at some point in their life cycle. Many flowers like the lotus and animals like frogs and dragonflies are found only in wetland areas. Wetlands therefore are exceedingly important repositories of biodiversity. In this feature, I celebrate the values of wetlands to humans and wildlife alike, and the need to conserve and restore them.

Human use

Shallow waterbodies that have water only during and immediately after the monsoon are maintained as common lands. The amount of productivity of grass, lotus and other vegetation in these shallow areas is incredible. Common lands are therefore used to graze cattle, harvest lotus for food, reeds for thatching, and silt to fertilise agricultural fields. Ponds, lakes, and similar wetlands, with water throughout the year provide a range of values for humans. Common methods of utilising these are as fish ponds, areas to cultivate water chestnut, or to retain water during the dry season that is used to cultivate crops during the dry summer. Even today, majority of the rural human population in several areas in India are dependent on wetlands. The Gangetic flood plains is one example of an area where people cannot survive without wetlands and therefore require them throughout the year.

Munnabhai 3… Nah!

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

It could have been a documentary with a social message but then “” is just a half baked film. Despite a half decent concept, it changes gear from talking about today’s harsh realities of the debt culture to hilariously implausible Bollywood fiction. The story revolves around four individuals caught in the vicious debt trap of EMIs just to fulfill their short term desires.

Ryan (Arjun Rampal), a DJ at a nightclub, buys loads of credit cards to maintain a lavish lifestyle; Anil and Shilpa (Ashish Chaudhary and Neha Uberoi) take loans to fund their wedding, house, and honeymoon; Chandrakant (Kulbushan Kharbanada) takes a loan for his teenage son’s foreign education and Prerna (Urmila Matondkar) takes a loan to manipulate the case of her husband’s suicide to claim insurance cover.

Having been fiscally profligate, all of them default on their monthly installments and thus their bank hires Sattar Bhai’s (Sanjay Dutt) recovery agency to get their money back. However, after meeting Prerna, the goon in Sattar Bhai vanishes and he suddenly embraces the good ol’ Munnabhai mould. Rather than thrashing the defaulters into repaying the money, he helps them solve their problems.

It seems that after “Munnabhai MBBS” and “Lage Raho...”, Sanjay Dutt is stuck with the bhai image. Undoubtedly no one in the industry can be a better bhai than Sanju Baba but this time it just turns out to be quite trite. Arjun Rampal, after being solid in “OSO” and “Rock On”, disappoints, Malaika Arora Khan is best as a glorified dancer and is just about okay in terms of acting and Urmila doesn’t offer much to comment about. The first half is passable fare but the movie loses pace thereafter and moves from reality to a world of its own. Dialogues like “Are you sure?” No, I’m Arjun!” are mundane and make you cringe and say “No, Thank You” for this movie.

My Long-Lasting Bond With 007

IIPM Ranked No1 B-School in India

Roger Moore, who played James Bond in more films than any other actor, reflects on the good ol' days…

Ever since the title of the latest James Bond adventure was announced, there has been much talk about what it means. Some have pointed out that "Quantum of Solace" is the name of a short story in Ian Fleming's book "For Your Eyes Only." Michael G Wilson, the film's producer, has said, it means "a measure of comfort."

I have to admit that the title worries me somewhat, as it no doubt did the lyricist charged with penning the title song. Music always plays a big part in Bond films – from the opening "gun barrel" sequence, featuring Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme," – to the incidental music and title song. Having masqueraded as 007 in seven Bond films – all with memorable theme songs – I would have liked a simpler and more "singable" title for this new epic.

I have not yet seen "Quantum of Solace", which opens in the UK on October 31, so I'm not sure how the title plays into the film. (Though I do know that it is not incorporated into the theme song, "Another Way to Die." I checked !) I did see Daniel Craig's first Bond adventure, "Casino Royale," and I thought he was terrific. Had I been asked to perform even a few of the stunts he executed, I would have most certainly been hospitalised.

I actually was injured on my own first outing as Jimmy Bond in "Live and Let Die" while filming the big jet-boat chase. During a practice run, I was trying to make a quick turn when the engine cut out, leaving me with no steering. I continued in a straight line ... right into a wooden boathouse. On impact, I flew out of the boat and hit a wall, cracking my front teeth and twisting my knee badly.

I needed a cane for days afterward. Fortunately, most of the scenes at that time involved me sitting in the boat. There I was, a fearless 007, hobbling on a cane to my boat and then pretending to be indestructible on camera. Who says I can't act?

Making "Live and Let Die" started me thinking about titles and title songs. "Live and Let Die" is a rather easy-to-remember play on words. And it's not unfriendly to a lyricist either as Paul McCartney proved when he wrote the song and performed it with Wings.

Though when George Martin, who orchestrated and produced the track, played it for Harry Saltzman, the film's producer, Saltzman looked up, grumbled and said, "OK, but who can we get to sing it?"

Martin looked, rather incredulously, at Saltzman. "But you already have the world's biggest recording star singing it!"

My second outing was "The Man With the Golden Gun," for which Don Black created a wonderful lyric setting up the villain Scaramanga as charging "a million a shot" to assassinate a target. With music by John Barry and sung by Lulu, it was a punchy and very appropriate top and tail to the movie. That's the thing about Bond songs: When matched to Maurice Binder's wonderful title designs, they tell a bit of the story. One story Ian Fleming did not want to be told on screen was "The Spy Who Loved Me." He wrote the novel through the eyes of a female Russian agent, as opposed to Jim Bond, and reportedly hated it. He therefore stipulated that only the title could ever be used in a film.

Fear of a Saffron Telangana

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Persisitent calls for a separate telangna has forced minority muslims to firmly oppose the demand, as a history of oppression haunts, says Naresh Nunna

Even as the demand for separate statehood for Telangan region in Andhra Pradesh continues to intensify by the day, an agitation is slowly but surely brewing among the local Muslim community. The cause behind this antagonism – and opposition – of the Muslim politicians and organisations towards the formation of a new state is their deep-rooted fear of ‘oppression’, the fear that history will repeat itself and the minorities may lose their stack in the ‘Saffron’ Telangana. “Muslim opposition to a separate Telangana is not new. We opposed Telangana state during the violent agitation in 1969 too. And this opposition has continued till date,” Asaduddin Owaisi, the new boss of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) told TSI.

So what are the reasons for Muslim reluctance, when a large majority of the region’s populace as well as political parties are demanding a Telangana state? A fear of sharp communal polarisation, which will jeopardise the interests of the minorities, say leaders of Muslim United Forum (MUF), of which MIM is a member group. The forum leaders feel that the psyche of the average Telangana Hindu and the psyche of the political outfits, irrespective of their affiliations, have been distorted with anti-Muslim ferment, with the bitter memories of atrocious Razakars in Telangana armed struggle. “Razakars, the brutal Muslim private army during the Nizam’s regime, had persecuted innocent masses in connivance with Deshmuks and other feudal Lords. Though more than 50 per cent of them were non-Muslims, the Telangana armed struggle was basically portrayed to be anti-Muslim,” says Sk Yusuf Baba, an analyist of the MUF.

In the aftermath of the police action against the armed struggle, several thousand Muslim men were killed by hoodlums, their women raped or forced to commit suicide by jumping into wells to save their honour. Muslim properties were burnt and their agricultural lands were grabbed, resulting in large-scale migration from the rural area and towns in the affected districts to Hyderabad. However, due to the prevalence of communal enmity towards the Muslim masses, these cases of heinous atrocities on this community living in several outlying districts in Marathwada and Hyderabad-Karnatak region of erstwhile Hyderabad state were buried on the sly, he averred.

The MUF leaders say that besides ‘communal’ parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party, even the ‘so-called secular parties’ like Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), which claims to be the cultural spearhead of Telangana, are dominated by leaders with the background of rightwing Hindu groups like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The MUF leaders point out the absolute absence of Muslim leaders in TRS as inference to their argument. After being transformed from the ruling class to the ruled overnight, following the police action against the Nizam’s Hyderabad state in 1948, the Muslims were brought to an acute sense of insecurity with the Hyderabad trifurcation, which divided them into three political and geographical entities. With the change in official language in government offices, thousands of Muslim employees, who only knew Urdu, remained jobless and obviously were necked out. Thus, socio-economic deprivation of the Muslims, which began in the early 1950s, got accentuated with systematic exploitation of Telangana.

While Obama has mesmerised the world, his equation with India is still to be seen

Indo-US ties: the NPT spectre that’s obama

India’s nuclear status underwent a radical change after the Nuclear Suppliers Group waiver in September 2008 and the signing of 123 Agreement with the US in October. With this, India becomes a de-facto member of the nuke club and will have to harmonise its positions accordingly.

Another immediate exigency is, what priority and weight Obama will give to nuclear non-proliferation. US policies under Bush were more India-friendly and this was evident in the early months of the Bush tenure in 2001 – when he rejected the CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty) and the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) as treaties – since he believed that they were not in the interest of US national security. Obama, on the other hand, has a more predictable Democratic position, a kind of nuclear non-proliferation zealotry. If Obama’s top advisers decide to make this an immediate and determined foreign/security policy, CTBT is likely to come back into focus. This will amount to pressure on India to sign the treaty, and then New Delhi would have to arrive at a quick decision. And, as India will have a new government before May 2009, this decision requires national consensus. My own long held view is that after the voluntary testing moratorium accepted by the Vajpayee-led NDA government in May 1998; this position can be converted into a legal obligation without any serious setback to national strategic security. Similarly, the FMCT (Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty) will also start though China may take more time to decide.

Obama’s support to global disarmament is congruent with the Indian position since the Nehru years. If Obama is serious about this goal, the India and US will have an area for truly historic and tectonic co-operation. On the other hand, if Obama advisers seek to interpret the July 2005 civilian nuclear co-operation agreement in an anti-Indian manner, that adversely impacts Indian sensitivities, then the relationship would be strained. But it must be added that there is nothing as of now to suggest that this potential exigency will become a reality.

In other two areas of concern to India – global terror and Pakistan (which are interlinked) – Obama’s statements need to be carefully monitored. Pakistan and Afghanistan are of high concern to him and he might reduce US military in Iraq and shift them to the Pak-Afghan theatre. Reportedly, Obama wants quick resolution of the Kashmir issue so that Pakistan troops can focus on its western borders. In this regard, Bill Clinton’s name has been mooted for special envoy. India has made it clear that Kashmir is a bilateral issue with Pakistan and an unwanted third party activism should be avoided. However, discreet facilitation that will lead to an abiding and consensual resolution of the Indo-Pak problem need not be rejected in a prickly manner by New Delhi. Hence, on Pakistan and the related terrorism issue, India ought to display the pragmatic flexibility and creative diplomacy that led to the success of July 2005.

Letter to thackeray

Your cover story 'Will Mumbai Burn’ was an eye-opener for those who are still sleeping. If Raj Thackeray has any conscience then he should regret his act. Targeting poor youth is no solution. No doubt, many prominent politicians of Maharashtra have supported the cause, which Thackeray espoused with his own brand of vandalism. If Raj is a human then why did his heart not melt seeing the plight of fellow Indians? If a Marathi and a Bihari go to his home seeking help, then he has to choose. But will he kill the Bihari who has come to seek his help for no reason? He knows the importance of North Indian labour force and if they return to their states then the forward march of Mahararstra’s economy would come to a halt. Raj should organise 'Chhath Puja' himself and extend friendship towards them. He will be surprised with the warm response.

'Descent'ralisation?

IIPM ranked ahead of IIMs

Decentralisation has done more harm than good to India….

The fight for decentralisation and hence, more power in the hands of the state governments, has been a pertinent case for long. For decades, several Indian states have blamed the partisan politics and the bias of the Indian central government for the lack (or stalling) of development in their respective territories. Therefore, over the years there has been significant devolution of central power in favour of the states. For ministries like panchayati raj, education, agriculture and rural development, while the money has been sanctioned by the respective Central ministries, the onus was definitely lying with the state governments as to how the money given is to be spent in the said financial year. Yet, with the passage of time, it is highly evident that anything controlled and monitored by the Central government has been rightly tackled, thereby, yielding better results. For example, consider the national highways constructed and maintained by the nodal agency called National Highway Authority of India. The quality and smoothness of these national highways stand in stark contrast to the piteous conditions of the state-owned ones. Also, the conditions of the municipality-managed-city-roads are far from "better". Most of India’s blue chip PSUs like NTPC, ONGC, IOCL BHEL, Nuclear Power Corporation and SAIL, or banks like SBI, Bank of Baroda and Allahabad Bank, or research organisations like DRDO, ISRO, BARC and CSIR are centrally owned. Now, opposing these centrally branded varients are the many inefficiently run state government corporations (barring most Gujarat PSUs) that barely witnessing any profit inflow.

Likewise, even though law and order remains a state subject, wherein the states continue to fight against the formation of a central law enforcement agency, these very state bodies literally seem to destroy policing in their respective regions. They have not only kept the force subservient to the polity’s dictums, but have also created lack of amenities, training, low remuneration and defunct intelligence machineries, contributing to create a demotivated force that repeatedly fail to perform duties proficiently. Be it hooliganism in Mumbai, riots in Orissa and Karnataka or relentless terror attacks across India, the states seem to remain clueless of any appropriate actions. Its only when things go absolutely out of control that they seek help from the Center. Similarly, agriculture, being a state subject, remains shackled till date. The sector not only faces complete lack of capital investments but also sees relentless suicides of debt-ridden farmers.

Today's identity politics (and the resultant violence) is a residue of the aspirations of regional political parties, trying to consolidate their regional vote banks with utter disregard to national integrity. A strong central government, with more discretionary powers, would have perhaps created a far better India than what it is today. Nothing can be worse than witnessing terror rattling India when foreigners are mistreated in s Goa, or when non-Marathas are beaten up in Maharashtra. The Union Government, knowing that law and order is but a state subjects, chooses to remain a mute spectator; and it seems it shall remain so that even if this fallacy someday destroys the very concept of India, disintegrating it altogether.
