PRIVATE INTERESTS OR
THE LARGER GOOD?
The closure of the existing airports in Hyderabad and Bengaluru would be a further loss to users, airlines, staff and the numerous people engaged in transport, catering and other services at a busy metropolitan airport. The Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Civil Aviation has strongly recommended that these existing airports be kept open but the minister and other authorities have rejected this amply justified demand.
We have seen that due to gross underestimation of growth and poor planning, the new airports would not be able to cope with estimated traffic. BIAL CEO Albert Brunner argues that demands to keep the old airports functioning are usual in such cases but that a city the size of Bengaluru does not require two airports. Numerous cities around the world testify to just the opposite, dividing the airports between domestic or regional short-haul flights and longer domestic and international ones. Captain Gopinath of Deccan Aviation has argued that, with the opening up of civil aviation in India, if passengers could be allowed to choose airlines, why not allow them to choose airports? In Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the existing airports could similarly be kept open for low-cost carriers, regional flights, courier services, executive jets and so on. All categories of users and service providers would gain. The new private operators may lose some revenue in the short term but not in the longer term when expanding traffic would more than make up.
Both the government and the private operators have cited contract provisions supposedly calling for existing airports to shut down. Closer reading of the official aviation policy governing these contracts suggests that this is not as water-tight as it is made out to be. The policy actually states that no new or greenfield airport would “normally” be allowed within 150 km unless special circumstances warrant it. Well, the government has just given approval for a Greenfield airport in Greater Noida outside Delhi which is much nearer to the Delhi airport than in these cases, and the capacity issues and costs to budget carriers and their users are special enough circumstances. It remains to be seen what will come of the recent ruling of the High Court in Bengaluru that the old airport in the city be kept open!
Question is, will the government take the necessary action and correct an obvious wrong in favour of the common good or simply allow short-term commercial interests of a few parties to prevail?
Further, modernisation of 35 non-metro airports has been initiated under the aegis of the AAI but involving private players in different ways. Will the government learn the right lessons for this further bout of privatisation, under whatever disguised form, of these airports and of other regional airports?

Bravo Villagers
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
Ambala (Haryana): Upset with the state government's failure to supply regular electricity, at least 25 panchayats or village bodies in Haryana's Ambala district have issued an order to villagers not to pay power bills.
The decision to ban payment of electricity bills by residents in 25 villages was taken Monday at a meeting held at Barada village, 20 km from this district headquarter town.
The Ambala district administration has taken a serious view of the diktat of the village panchayats and asked concerned officials at the local level to identify village leaders who were behind the order not to pay power bills.
"We will initiate strict action against those instigating innocent villagers. Those not paying bills will face legal action," Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Shayin said here Tuesday.
The 25 panchayats said any villager violating the ban order would have to pay a penalty of Rs.1,100 and also sponsor meals for 100 people. They also threatened social boycott of the errant villager and his family if any power bills were paid.
"We had to resort to this action as the government was unable to supply power beyond four hours everyday. We are facing a lot of hardship," one village leader, requesting anonymity, said.
Village elder Dharamvir defended the panchayat decision saying that when the government had failed to provide a service, where was the need to pay power bills.
Haryana government sources said in Chandigarh that the state was viewing the incident seriously as the move could spread to other parts of the state, putting the government in an embarrassing situation.
The Bhupinder Singh Hooda government had waived power arrears of Rs.16 billion ($400 million) for power bill defaulters of 10 years in May 2005. The bill waiver scheme was given as a one-time concession to make defaulters pay future bills.

Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
Fatehabad (Haryana): To uphold the 'honour' of his family, a man in Haryana's Fatehabad district strangulated his daughter on suspicion that she was having an extra-marital affair, the police said Wednesday.
The woman, Reshma, was sleeping in her father Bhawana Ram's house in Laloda village in Fatehabad when he killed her. Her two brothers encouraged their father as he strangulated the helpless woman.
The family suspected that Reshma, who was married for over a decade, was having an illicit relationship with her brother-in-law (sister's husband).
The incident comes within a week of a young couple in Haryana's Karnal district being killed by the girl's parents for having married against their wishes.
In the latest incident, the Fatehabad police have registered a case of murder and conspiracy against Bhawana Ram and his sons.

The real issues of people - men and women are poverty, illiteracy, ill health etc., cannot be resolved within the framework of the present society as per totay. As we know there is no equality, nor can there be, of oppressed and oppressor, exploited and exploiter. There is no real freedom, nor can there be, so long as women are handicapped by men's legal privileges, so long as there is no freedom for the worker from the yoke of capital, no freedom for the labouring peasant from the yoke of the capitalist, land owner and merchant. Real emancipation of women will only be possible in a society where the basis of exploitation is removed.For basic changes in the present social order a social reform movement is on and this is called Naya NAVJAGRAN. We should Join it and work to reform the society at large.

WORKING WOMEN --ERA OF GLOBALISATION
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
In the era of globalisation, successive governments at the centre have been adopting policies, which promoted amassing of profits by the employers at the expense of the workers and their basic rights. Workingwomen bear the brunt of these policies. Despite the hype generated on the increasing job opportunities for women, the fact remains that the maximum increase in women?s employment in the urban areas has been as domestic workers. Women constitute 90 per cent of the total marginal workers; despite the existence of the equal remuneration act since the last more than 30 years, they get 30 per cent lower wages than men; according to a survey, 85 per cent women earn only 50 per cent of the official poverty level income. The government itself directly exploits women by calling hundreds of thousands women appointed under its Integrated Child Development Services, National Rural Health Mission etc., as ?social workers?, ?community workers?, ?accredited activists? etc., and denies them minimum wages and social security.

CRIME AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
Rape is the fastest growing crime in the country; a rape is being reported every 30 minutes, an alarming increase of nearly 700 per cent since 1971; every hour, 18 women become victims of crime directed specifically at them -- rape, kidnapping and abduction, dowry-related crimes, molestation, sexual harassment, eve-teasing, etc. 40 per cent of married women are victims of domestic violence. The increasing violence against women shown in television and films, and their vulgar portrayal as objectives of sex are important contributing factors in the escalating violence against women. But no serious efforts are made to rectify the weaknesses in dealing with the crimes against women and the conviction rate remains abysmally low.

PROCESS OF COMODIFICATION
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
IN a capitalist society, not only goods and services, but everything and anything including ideas, art, culture, sports and sportspersons, love, god and religion, and human beings and their organs are converted into commodities to be traded. Profit is the driving force and nothing is sacred, to be spared from the clutches of the market if it can yield profits. Occasions are created, promoted and utilised to mint money. This tendency inherent in the capitalist system has multiplied in the era of globalisation. Even historical occasions to commemorate working class struggles like May Day and International Working Women?s Day are sought to be ripped off their class content and trivialised and vulgarised.

WHAT SORTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
What short of development?
Given that India is a very poor country with enormous diversity in terms of religion, language, and ethnicity, the gradual maturing of Indian democracy has been remarkable achievement, almost unparalleled in political history. But this remarkable achievement has also been fatally flawed by our unforgivable failure to deal in an effective manner with mass poverty and illiteracy and various forms of religious, social and gender discrimination and irreparable environmental degradation. Any vision of development is not worth accepting unless it shows how to eliminate rapidly mass poverty and illiteracy, and overcome simultaneously various social barriers arising from caste, religion and gender prejudices .Two experiences are with us: One is market oriented high growth in a globalised world and the other is bureaucratic state intervention with centralized planning. But these models have not stood the test of time. How we can have sustainable development with dignity and without threatening the environment and the planet earth itself.

Economic development influences social relation and dynamics including inter caste relations. But mere economic development without addressing caste hierarchical social order and varna mind set ,social discrimination continues to exist keeping some communities lag behind others in the process of empowerment and overall development. In terms of social development and social justice there are road blocks. The SC’s in Haryana are moving away from their traditional occupations. 47 % in urban areas and 40% in rural areas were employed in non agricultural sector. Migrant labour has been substantial in agriculture in recent years. New occupations have given S C’s better life and income but not the social equality as yet. The real question is how to develop a more humane Haryana where marginalized sections like SC’s, other marginalized sections, women and youth have a respectable place.

A scientist in the field------
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
A Scientist in the Field:
It is here that Bernal’s role as a humanist, a scientist (as much a practical one as a theorist) and a catalyst come to the fore. The threat of German aerial bombing had created panic in London (those were the pre radar days) and even trained scientists (including his friend J.B.S. Haldane) could not predict the damage potential of bombs of different sizes. It was clear that the working class would be the most vulnerable section in the event of bombings. Bernal considered it his duty to educate the citizens about the possible damages, and in constructing damage proof shelters. He sought the help of his friend Solly Zuckerman - a doctor, turned anatomist, turned curator of zoo - to conduct practical experiments. Some abandoned shelters were selected in the countryside . Zuckermann and Bernal brought apes and pigeons and left them in these shelters. They contacted the police department for incendiary bombs of different sizes. With the official sanction the bombs were exploded at different distances from these shelters and then they examined the damages to these captive animals. In a later experiment the two friends acted as their own “guinea pigs”, sitting in the shelters while the bombs were exploded nearby! These simple experiments showed that the believed damage potentials of most of the bombs were highly exaggerated. Their results proved invaluable for civil defence, particularly in working class areas and also generated more confidence amongst the citizens.
This involvement helped Bernal and his friends in gaining acceptance from the governmental defence establishments, even though Bernal was not in good books , i.e. “as red as the fire of hell”. His one time enemy Lord Mountbatten now became his supporter, for the most committed anti fascists were the Reds. Bernal was one of the pioneers in applying operations research ideas in these war years and was directly involved in the D-Day landing of the Allied forces in Normandy. His special attention was in devising aerial photography methods to photograph the shapes of waves on the Normandy beaches under different conditions of wind. From the patterns of these waves he devised methods to determine the inclinations of the beaches and conclude whether they could withstand the landing of tanks and armoured vehicles.

Myth and realities regarding Population In India:--------
Saksar Sawasth Aur secular Haryana
Myth and realities regarding Population In India:--------
Since India’s independence has population growth overtaken food production?
No
Since India’s independence, its population has grown slightly less than 3 times, while food production has grown over 4 times.
Does higher population density leads to lower economic progress.
No
Orissa has a low population density (236 compared to 324 India) but the proportion of people living below the poverty line is the highest ( 47%).
Kerala on the other hand has a much higher population density ( 819) but is economically better off.
Netherlands and Japan have higher population densities than ours, but they are rich developed countries.
Is India’s population growing rapidly
No
India’s current population growth rate is the lowest in the last in fifty years
Large proportion of the population is young and in reproductive age group leading to momentum effect.
High fertility in some places because of unmet needs (there is a desire without services being available) for contraception
High fertility due to high infant mortality rate in some places
Over 50% girls are married before the age of 18- leading to “too early, too frequent, too many”. 33% births occur before 24 months of the earlier birth
Do we need a targeted population control program to help women?
No
Women are easy target of the Family Planning programme bypassing men
Operations are done hurriedly and with no care leading to death, complications and failure.
All other health services are unavailable

Iraqi Refugees Turn To prostitution
No reliable figures of Iraqi prostitutes exist, but an increase in the number of Iraqi women seen in recent months in clubs and on the streets of Damascus, Amman and other cities suggests the problem is growing as more Iraqis flee their country's violence
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that around 2 million Iraqis have fled to neighboring countries since 2003.
But At'outa is just one of an estimated 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Syria alone.
"I ask myself every day, what did I get out of this life? No family, no home and no honor," she said. "The guilt is ripping my body to shreds."
