CHENNAI -- Apologizing for supporting demonetisation, actor Kamal Hassan said he will again salute Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he also accepts that the note ban was a mistake.

In an article in the Tamil magazine Anandavikatan, the actor said accepting and correcting mistakes is a marker for great leaders which Mahatma Gandhi was able to do.

Hassan said Modi should not be stubborn in arguing that the rabbit he had caught has three legs.

On his initial support for the demonetisation of 1,000 and 500 rupee notes, Hassan said he had welcomed the move and tweeted that it should be supported regardless of party affiliation.

"I thought people should bear with minor irritants in the goal to eradicate black money," he wrote.

The actor said his friends and those who know economics had called him and criticised his support for demonetisation.

Hassan said he later thought that demonetisation was good but the manner in which it was implemented was wrong.

He said now there were voices saying demonetisation was a deception and the weak response from the government raises serious doubts about the scheme.

Calling the United States and India "two bookends of stability on either side of the globe," the Donald J Trump administration has proposed that Washington DC and New Delhi work together in the Indo-Pacific region to counter the disruptive force that China has become.

Seeking to deflect opposition criticism, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday that no politics should be seen behind his government's efforts to develop the temple town of Ayodhya which gave the idea of Ram Rajya — where there is no poverty or discrimination.

The Supreme Court has made it mandatory for the railways to keep oxygen cylinders in all trains to ensure that the life-saving gas could be provided to travellers suffering from respiratory problems in case of any emergency.

In Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath made sure that the "gods" literally descended from the heavens in his attempt to celebrate a grand Diwali in his first year as the chief minister.

The lead actors of Ramlila, Ram, Sita and Lakshman, in full costume, arrived in a government chopper and landed on the banks of the river Saryu. Another chopper followed, that showered flowers. This was to replicate the victorious journey of the trio by the Pushpak Vimana, a mythical flying chariot, as detailed in the Ramayana.

Once on land, the chief minister welcomed them and carried out a symbolic coronation of Ram, dressed in traditional attire with a glittering headgear. Adityanath was accompanied by tourism Minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi and state Governor Ram Naik.

The chief minister later led the actors in a small procession to a nearby stage set up not far from the site where the Babri mosque was razed in December 1992.

In his speech, Yogi Adityanath brought Ayodhya to the forefront with a grand, eyeball-grabbing spectacle without mentioning the controversial issue of Ram temple construction. "For 70 years, many have been deprived of food, power connections and (are) without a roof above their heads. The Centre and state governments' efforts at providing them all this is Ram Rajya for them," said the chief minister.

He said that in his "Ram Rajya", there is no discrimination on the basis of "caste and religion".

"Ayodhya gave India and the world, the concept of Ram Rajya...where there is no pain or grief... The real meaning of Ram Rajya is a home for all...electricity and cooking gas for every home. Ayodhya's glory should be restored," he said.

Meanwhile, 1.75 lakh diyas (earthen lamps) dazzled during the evening aarti on the river banks. This was an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.

At least 380 artistes had come from different corners of India and abroad (Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia) to perform in the 3-km-long Shobha Yatra.

Even as the chief minister steered clear of the Ram Mandir issue, opposition party members felt that the political sub-text was not to be missed. Samajwadi Party MP Naresh Agarwal said that every time BJP finds itself in a corner on the issue of governance, the party takes refuge in the name of Lord Ram. "Jab inko kuchh nahin milta ... yeh Bhagwan Ram ki god mein baith jaate hain" (Whenever they don't have anything to rest upon, they start talking about Lord Ram)," he said.

Meanwhile, Twitter was left quite amused with Ram-Sita arriving on a chopper and questioned if the state government was justified in spending so much money on the festivity while ignoring the lack of civic facilities.

A major cluster of our cherished childhood memories hover lovingly around festivals. And it was our parents, their extra efforts that made these celebrations so special for us. Add to it the innocence that didn't count calories, fret about the logistics and then complain about the stress, these occasions were the most looked-forward-to. Festivals for most of us were not just limited to the day of celebration. Like any well scripted story, it built up over time, kept us on tenterhooks, made us impatient with excitement before reaching its crescendo.

It would start with anticipation of goodies which would give an extra spring to the steps we took. Unlike the hedonism of the present that eats out twice a week and shops till it drops, our past had few excesses. Our parents belonged to an era that believed in rationing material pleasures. So eating-out, a new dress and shoes would wait for special occasions. If we had just watched a movie, stopping for ice-cream on our way back was a sure shot way of corrupting our souls beyond repair.

It was during festive occasions that our parents loosened up a bit. We were allowed second and third helpings of sweet treats, and a few more when mom was not looking. Almost all of them were homemade by her. She'd spend long hours in the kitchen while we danced around her like excited puppies. Is there anything in this world that tastes better than fresh off the griddle malpua dunked in a degchi of sticky sugar syrup?

We were allowed second and third helpings of sweet treats, and a few more when mom was not looking.

When not busy in the kitchen, she was engrossed in making alpona on the floor with ground rice paste, while I'd squat beside her and watch her in mesmerised silence. Each festival we celebrated had her distinctive stamp, from the 14 diyas she lit on chhoti Diwali, to the bhog she made during Lakshmi Puja, to the paste of turmeric and mustard oil she'd keep for us in the bathroom to slather ourselves with in honour of the beauteous and talented Saraswati. Durga Puja meant weeks of preparation for the many competitions that were held at the pandal during the Pujas.

When you are ten, all you want to do is make your maa happy. So you recite poetry with emotions you don't comprehend, participate in dance-dramas with your face caked with ghastly make-up, play musical chairs even though you hate it, all in an attempt dazzle her friends and relatives with your unimaginable talent. My dad's role was mostly restricted outside the house: purchasing crackers, teaching us how to fly kites, take us shopping for new clothes, and be the supportive husband to his turbocharged wife.

Despite her long hours at work, I don't think she resented the extra hours she had to put in at home to make these days special for us. I certainly didn't hear her denouncing rituals and fasting meant to be observed only by women as some patriarchal conspiracy against womankind.

Each tradition we follow has history, an interesting background story and a smattering of scientific backing. It makes us value our heritage.

Now when I think back I realise it was she who made festivals festive. Without her enthusiasm they would have been just another soulless day with us as passive observers. So excuse me while I choke on my coffee while I try to comprehend the outrage on social media surrounding the ban on crackers in Delhi and NCR during Diwali. It was baffling to see social media crusaders lament on behalf of kids who'll be deprived of the joy of bursting crackers.

They should know, SC was delivering a verdict in a petition filed to reinstate the ban ordered in November last year. The symbolism of three infants (Arjun, Aarav and Zoya) filing the petition should not be lost on us. I felt like an ignorant fool for not realising that coughing all night on Diwali and waking up to smoke laden air in the morning was a much cherished Hindu tradition. And foolish me was under the impression that it was women and not crackers that make Diwali so special.

Agree that unlike our moms, most of us may not be a stickler for rituals and have shortened them to suit our I-have-better-things-to-do lifestyle. But as a self-assigned teacher of spiritual values to our offspring, we do make the extra effort to be a gold medal worthy Mom. Festivals are a good way to familiarise children with our cultural traditions. Each tradition we follow has history, an interesting background story and a smattering of scientific backing. It makes us value our heritage.

Bursting noisy crackers and fouling up the air, disregarding the discomfort we cause to those with medical conditions, is certainly not part of our heritage.

Bursting noisy crackers and fouling up the air, disregarding the discomfort we cause to those with medical conditions, is certainly not part of our heritage. And landing up on Diwali night in the emergency section of the hospital because the fancy bomb you bought for 3k burst on your face is certainly not a much cherished custom.

Diwali, like any other festival, is an occasion to bond with family, make joyful memories and feel thankful for what we have. Soon these instants will become memories and proceed to pin themselves on the roll of honour in the hallowed corridors of nostalgia. Take out the woman of the house from festivities and it becomes like a cold, empty house waiting to be filled with happy laughter, warm moments and frenzied conversations around the dining table. But take out crackers from Diwali and by god it'll be like ghar-wapsi of a glorious Diwali!

Go out, admire how beautiful your building, neighbourhood and city is looking all decked up in lights. Make intricate rangolis, tuck in an extra kaju barfi and feel thankful that you can breathe a little more freely and hear each other talk.Let's not forget that Deepavali is a festival of lights and not noise. And if you're still craving noisy crackers, here's a smoke-free and yummy version for you.

Enjoy Diwali and let others enjoy it in peace as well.

In my home, Diwali is a festival that is celebrated with gusto. I am not a very 'festival person', and generally I like to witness the festivities and associated toil from a distance, but not for Diwali. From cleaning, cooking, decorating, diyas, buying new ethnic wear, to a proper Lakshmi pooja, Diwali signifies lights, happiness, community and family to me, as I am sure it does to many people. Diwali is also the time when it is important to be with loved ones. As the world celebrates, this is no time to be on your own.

Many of my childhood Diwalis were spent in my maternal grandmother's home. With cousins and extended family, this was truly a time to cherish. Later when we move to Bombay, it was not possible to make our trips back to Uttar Pradesh every year. Dad was a high-ranking bureaucrat and we threw parties and invited a lot of people around Diwali. Family was slowly replaced with friends, and the dimension of the festival shifted from close family to friends.

Then mum fell sick. She had a couple of fractures, a long drawn out recuperation period, depression and was bedridden for a few years. Those were some of the most painful times for my family, along with her illness came a sort of social exclusion, rather ostracisation. Bombay is a wonderful city, but it is also a city where one does not know who lives next door, very unlike the gated community I live in Bangalore now. Hence, visitors and friends greatly dwindled over the months. Then there was this one Diwali when just the five of us were at home with nothing much to do.

A festival is much more than eating or making merry, it is about spreading joy.

Festivals are the times when the women in the family do a lot of planning, organising and shopping. Since mum was the center of all festivity, running around cooking up a storm, arranging for things for the pooja, getting the house in order, her illness took a toll on the house. Where is the gaiety when our lifeline was on the bed, ailing and depressed? Our moods were grim, and we did a very half-hearted pooja.

That year, we did not go around to any homes to wish and greet people for Diwali, and no one came home to wish us. When someone in the house is sick, all happiness is sucked out from any happy occasion, and you are very acutely aware of this on a festive day. All the happy advertisements on TV seem to mock you. People were enjoying and celebrating all around us, I felt a little sorry for myself, and was upset.

Then the doorbell rang, and in walked an old friend of dad's, he and his wife had known us for years. They were there to meet us and also enquire after mum's health. Things looked up. Mum who was propped up on bed also smiled and engaged in some chatter. As they stayed for some time that evening, we all felt our Diwali brightening up. A festival is much more than eating or making merry, it is about spreading joy. Most of us don't pause a moment to think about those around us who may be down, and need a little support. We are caught up in our circles, in our families, in our little cocoons.

When things are not going well for you, it is the time when you need the support of your friends, and family the most.

When things are not going well for you, it is the time when you need the support of your friends, and family the most. This Diwali, as I prepare with joy, planning a lot of details, thinking about what gifts to buy, I remembered them with gratitude. They would never know how much their visit on that Diwali night meant to our family, and to mum.

This Diwali, let us seek out those who have not been able to go home. Those missing their families, those sick and unwell and call them home or visit them. They don't need much, just an acknowledgment that they matter and that you thought of them. You don't know how far your little gesture will go in brightening up someone's unhappy festival.

A new day, a new literary controversy in India.

Another writer being hounded for causing "offence" to a group of people, the police stepping in to arbitrate in a matter that should ideally be settled by scholars and literary critics, a witch-hunt conducted on social media, courts being asked to ban a book. The script may be well-worn by now, and yet, its potential seems inexhaustible.

Earlier this month, a collection of poems by Vishnu Surya Wagh, written in the colloquial version of the Konkani language and published nearly four years ago, ignited the embers of a cultural war in Goa — a conflict that has escalated to interventions by the police and the government now.

It all started in August, when Sudirsukta (Hymns of a Shudra) was selected by the Goa Konkani Academy Award in the poetry category. The volume, which had sold out its print run of 500 copies on publication, found a new lease of life soon after — though for reasons that have little to do with its literary merit.

Passages from the poems in it were lifted, allegedly out of context, and posted on social media. The lines quoted were meant to decry Wagh's "abusive and and explicit language" and to also insinuate that his aim was to pit the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin community in the state against the Bahujan Goans, thus leading to a battle between the castes, nothing else.

Within days, the police registered an FIR against the 52-year-old poet, who is presently incapacitated by a stroke, under sections 293 and 292 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act 1986, based on a complaint filed by a women's rights activist.

"We have read the poems that were brought to us and we think they are not in good taste," the police official in charge of the case told The Indian Express. "The complaint was only registered after we were convinced it did, and can, offend someone."

The government of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar seems to have no quarrel with this Orwellian situation in which the police are acting as the influencer of public taste. For, as the Express added, the government soon after "cancelled all the 32 undeclared literature and culture awards, including one for Wagh".

But the problem, in this case, is hard to wish away with a blanket ban. As it happens, Parrikar was present on the occasion of the official launch of the disputed book at the Kala Academy in Goa all those years ago.

Apart from being a writer, Wagh is also a former member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that currently is in power in Goa. In an essay in Vantage, Kaustubh Naik, Wagh's nephew, writes about his uncle's lifelong anti-caste and anti-rightwing politics — which didn't square with his foray into politics by joining the BJP in 2011, a party drunk on Hindutva. Most interestingly, though, Naik paints a portrait of a socially committed and intrepid artist, who didn't shirk from taking risks with language, idiom and ideologies.

Poets like Wagh, or the late Namdeo Dhasal, who founded the famous Dalit Panthers, may not be the most palatable to many readers for their problematic politics, but their personal ideologies cannot diminish the gift of their literary prowess.

Elected as an MLA in 2012, Wagh continued to criticise his party's politics in the state, for which, Naik says, he was berated by Parrikar. Stripped of his role as the chief of the Kala Academy in 2014 by the CM, Wagh was reportedly reinstated in 2015. But, as is now evident, his reputation among his erstwhile colleagues is far from restored.

Readers and scholars of Konkani may rightly debate the merit of Wagh's writing, but to penalise him simply for "obscenity" is to invoke standards that were last applied to literature of the so-called Victorian England. If the BJP and Goa police wants to purge sexually-charged language because it offends sensibilities, both of them have have their work cut out: look no further than cleaning up abusive trolls from social media where offensive speech amplifies far faster than it ever would from a book of poems, especially one that is out of print at the moment.

But sexualised imagery is only a part of the discomfort that Wagh's poetry has provoked. A strident voice against the persistence of caste, he also pours outrage against a system that keeps the sudirs — or low-caste shudras, according to the hierarchy of Hinduism — away from the Brahminical control over 'god'.

Smita Nair quotes in her article in the Express a handful of lines from one of the strongest poems in Wagh's anthology.

We have no swamis
And we have no mathas
The sanctum of the temple is closed to us
God lies in your fist
With all your differences you are all one
Whether horizontal or vertical
The caste marks on your foreheads
That indicate your Mahajanship suit you well
You lean against the temple pillars
While the rath is carried on our shoulders...

The message is clear as daylight, the sentiment cuts with the sharpness of a razor. No wonder the Saraswat Brahmins are piqued to the core by such modes of speech. Just as the Aryan Baniyas are furious with Dalit scholar Kancha Illaiah Shepherd calling out their historical regressiveness. Or Hindus are furious with Tamil writer Perumal Murugan for writing about an ancient casteist festival.

Recently, Shepherd faced a right tirade, which extended to physical assault, ranging from footwear being thrown at him to death threats, for writing about the economic dominance of the Arya Vysyas over lower castes. His article, which was part of his book called Post-Hindu India,published almost a decade ago, had been reprinted in Telugu recently, sparking the ire of his detractors, who have even taken their case to the Supreme Court, only to be told by the honourable court that banning a book is none of its business.

Apart from highlighting the injustices perpetrated by the Banias, Shepherd called the community "social smugglers", a term that had led to the explosion of hate towards him. Over the last two weeks, not only has he been at the receiving end of casteist bile but also, as he wrote eloquently in The Indian Express, radio silence from the government and, more shockingly, from the left liberals.

It's the last that should worry us the most, as it probably brings out the way class undercuts even the best textbook theories of liberalism. The BJP, as already known, is desperate to capitalise on the caste card for the 2019 general elections through means such as the sub-categorisation of the other backward classes. To call out that sham, the left liberals have to speak out, especially for any regional voices that are at the risk of being muzzled.

October is everyone's favourite month, there are back-to-back festivals being celebrated all over the country. With those come long weekends, and holidays away from work. This is the time we plan to go home and visit the family, fly our parents down to visit us, or head out on a vacation. This is also the time when every brand worth its salt comes out with shopping festivals and 'limited time festival offers', that make us jump with glee and whip out our wallets because, hey, the deals seem too good to be missed.

What all of this means is that the festival season is also a season of plenty, plenty of expenses! Which is why, if you are not in the pink of financial health, you might dread October. Whether it is to travel home, buy gifts for everyone, take a vacation, or indulge in a little retail therapy yourself, everything costs money. Here are some easy tips, to help you celebrate the festival season without breaking the bank.

Cut costs, not corners

Not all the good stuff in life has to come at a big price. Think D-I-Y gifts for your family: handcraft a lamp (a string of fairy lights dropped into a clean, dry, label-free beer bottle makes for a beautiful present), you can grow herbs in pretty pots/mugs, or try your hand at paper crafts. There's plenty of inspiration and tons of tutorials online. Your family will be delighted because you got them something that has more meaning than a mass-produce something bought off a sale.

There's no festivity without partying, is there? But partying and dining out can be really expensive, especially when you're going in a large group. The real fun, though, is not in where you go, but in what you do and who you do it with, so why not move the party home? Host a potluck or BYOB (bring your own booze) party, where everyone brings something. All you'll spend is on snacks and nibbles, and it will be just as much fun as always.

Be smart with your money

Now, we did ask you to steer clear of consumerist temptations such as sales and discounts that can result in indiscriminate, impulsive shopping. However, if there is something you actually need to buy, there's no better time to do so than the festival season. A lot of brands offer exchange programs that let you get rid of your old appliances and furniture, and get new ones at a heavy discount.

This is also true for other essential services like house cleaning and medical checkups. If there's a good offer on something you will have to do anyway, better grab the opportunity and do it now. Also keep an eye out for offers on entertainment: movies released during festivals, music shows, plays... many online ticketing sites offer discounts at this time.

This is also a good time to get rid of all the old stuff lying around at home: the treadmill you got in 2012 when fitness was a life goal, the DSLR with four lenses from when you thought photography was your true calling, the cycle you bought to ride to work until they started the flyover construction. Sell it all off in return for cold, hard cash that you can put to better use.

Festivals are traditionally a time for new beginnings, unfortunately we treat them as a time to buy new stuff. But this festival season, begin afresh and take the first step towards a financially healthy future, so that next year, you are not in the same boat. Here are some things you can do:

• Learn the basics of investing: different investment options, how mutual funds work, risk versus return, etc.

• Set investment goals: be it buying the new iPhone X next year, or a home of your own in 10 years from now. As they say, if you don't know where you are going, how will you get there?

• Explore the best investment options: compare, and decide where, when and how much to invest.

Or just find a good Financial Advisor to help you through your financial planning for the year ahead! May this festive season be a time of new beginnings for you!

When two women in isolated yet similar incidents of sexual harassment in two Bundelkhand districts came forward to lodge complaints with the police, we knew what it meant for them, we knew what it took. But does the system play a role of coercion, or cooperation?

If you happenstance take a taxi ride across the badlands of Bundelkhand, you will no doubt be listening to a choice selection of Bhojpuri hits, from 'Engine kare puk puk', to 'Mood kare garam, ab chhodo saram' or the much-preferred 'Palang kare choy choy' – a feast of bed-creaking, breast-thrusting, brain-turning hits that will bring you up-close with the real issue of consent, full frontal. Buxom women ask skinny men to shed their propriety and just get down to business. Let the furniture join in the chorus of this mad, licentious item number in which all sexual norms are seemingly let loose. It's the stuff that fantasies are made of.

So when we reported not once, but twice, over the past few weeks, on instances of lewd songs being forcibly played to women by men in various situations of coercion, we couldn't help but think of how the flagrant disregard of women's consent or sense of self shifts the terrain – from fantasy right back to the real world, where women are trying to manage businesses and get to school. Make something of their lives, their ambitions.

Like Anjana Singh, a grown woman brought to tears, narrating the harrowing experience of months of harassment from a group of men who work in an iron mongering shack in the plot of land next to where her husband's general store is. She wo-mans the shop, often for upto seven or eight hours at a time, when her husband is away or busy. The men, she says, have an eye on her real estate and so routinely walk by and torment her publicly. And how do they do this? 'Come and stand under my umbrella', they sing. 'Drink some tea, get a little warmed up'. 'I can warm you up'. Harmless songs, she's told.

Anjana went to the local administration and tried to file numerous complaints. Her case is now being followed up by social worker Pushpa Goswami of the Belan Army. The Banda SP, the sturdy Shalini Singh, says the case is more complex than it seems. Anjana's husband is accused by women who run the beauty parlour next door, of harassing them, similarly with lewd songs and abuses. They in turn have complained to the police, and so the two complaints are being investigated in parallel. Caught in the hot and heavy crossfire, is Anjana, who feels the eyes and pity of even the young girls who overhear her being harassed as layer upon layer of insult and humiliation.

More recently, constable Shivsharan of Mahobkant police station has been slapped with a FIR he never ever imagined, we'll warrant, he would be confronted with. In the third week of September, a young girl, on the way back from college, caught a tempo home. She said she didn't catch it from the stand, but from about a kilometer away, and she recognized the driver. Soon enough, he started blaring 'dirty songs' on his 'deck'. When the girl asked him to turn it off, he gave her the 'my tempo, my deck, my prerogative' argument. "When I continued to argue with him, he told me to get out of the tempo. So I walked the rest of the five kilometers home," the girl said, unwavering.

The story gets better, and more uniquely Bundelkhandi. The girl filed a complaint, and when the police came home for the verification, they assaulted her father – 'he has lost some of his hearing after that day'. She was called to the police station, where the constable on duty, Shivsharan, began to play his own deck, and asked her to identify which song was played in the tempo and what the problem was with these harmless songs. "What kind of law and order or corruption is the Modi government talking about rectifying when this is the kind of treatment you get from the police? This reign of bullies isn't going anywhere," said he girl.

We're in a world where women are a part of the public sphere, as a result of righteous anger and protest, legislative reform, and overfunded international development campaigns. We recently celebrated the International Day of the Girl Child. Something in all of it rings hollow (if not entirely ludicrous), when women cannot expect to access respect and an understanding of bodily autonomy and the necessity of consent. For men to cross boundaries, whether in public transport, or in the space of the police station, or in a posh Delhi drawing room, is entirely legitimate, safeguarded by an impunity that no amount of iron-fisted sexual assault laws can damage, seemingly.

Just as the roar of the BHU protests makes way for the rage over the firecrackers ban, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data tells us that there has been a a 33% rise rise in sexual harassment across U.P.. No amount of naming and shaming seems to be making any dents in all the incessant stalking, playing of lewd songs, flashing and gesturing women are subjected to – all of which is still clubbed under the (bloodcurdling) 'boys will be boys' refrain.

What will it take to make crystal clear, at a conscious and subconscious level, that the woman who urges you to turn her on, exists in the same world as the one who says, turn the damn radio off, I do not like this?

Because until that is clear as can be, the Beti Bachaos and Anti-Romeo Squads of the world are pure bunkum.

By Basudev Mahapatra

As news of rampant female feticide in the Nayagarh district of Odisha broke in July 2017, it shocked Usha Patnaik, a social activist and president of Gania Unnayan Committee, a non-profit organization, as it did the rest of India.

Working for more than two decades on issues such as trafficking of girls and women, child marriage and gender-based discrimination, the news made her wonder about the very existence of females in society. "Being a female, I was scared," she told VillageSquare.in. "How can a society imagine its future by eliminating a sex selectively at the fetal stage?"

However, 10 community radio stations are working in Odisha on changing the mindset of the people, to enable a better environment for the safety of girl children and women.

Endangered sex

Indicating decline in the sex ratio, female population in Nayagarh district has come down from 938 per 1,000 males in 2001 to 915 in 2011, as per the 2011 census report. More worrying is the sex ratio at birth during the last five years — the population of girl babies is 725 for every 1,000 male babies born, as per the National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS4). As per the 2001 and 2011 censuses, the sex ratio of children below six years in Nayagarh dropped from 904 to 855.

Apart from declining sex ratio, Nayagarh district has remained the epicenter of trafficking of girls under the guise of marriage since the 1990s. According to NFHS4, it is the sixth district of Odisha with high prevalence of child marriage. In the district, 31.3 % of women between 20 and 24 years of age got married before the age of 18.

"Nayagarh has a conservative patriarchal society where girls are still the ignored population. The indications of it are that many are killed selectively at the fetal stage, many are given in marriage at an early age and many are being trafficked to other states in the name of marriage," Patnaik told VillageSquare.in.

Change through official machinery

With statistics indicative of the status of the female population, Nayagarh is included in the list of 100 districts covered nationwide under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save a Girl Child, Educate a Girl Child) program. The Government of Odisha in association with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and other agencies has taken steps to strengthen implementation of the PCPNDT (Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques) Act, 1994 to check pre-natal sex determination and female feticide in the state.

In accordance with the state policy for girls and women and the state policy for youth, several other programs have been implemented to address gender-based issues and to create an enabling environment for girls.

As a result of the programs, administrative dynamism has improved. Sex ratio at birth in Nayagarh has increased to 883 by September 2016, as per the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) reports. Through various campaigns, girls are encouraged to enroll in schools.

"The situation is changing. But to address the issues related to gender inequality, what still remains a challenge is, changing the behavior of people, despite the proactiveness of the administration and government machinery," Pritikant Panda, District Child Protection Officer (DCPO) at Nayagarh, told VillageSquare.in.

Communicating achievements and awareness

Making its contribution to address the issues facing the female population of the district, the Daspalla-based Radio Surabhi, the only community radio station in Nayagarh, has started a program named Suna Jhia — the golden girl.

"The objective of the program is to tell positive stories highlighting small as well as big achievements of girls in the district through radio so that the parents feel proud of their daughter," Sisir Kumar Das of Indian Institute of Education and Care, a non-profit organization that promotes Radio Surabhi, informed VillageSquare.in.

Prompted by the poor status of the girl child in the district, Suna Jhia program aims to bring awareness and build scientific temper in the communities while sensitizing the local administration on the ground realities, Das added.

"Now I realize that the two abortions I suffered and the several illnesses I suffer from are the results of my marriage at an early age. Now that I have learnt from the Suna Jhia program, I will advise girls not to marry early and have an ill fate like mine," 55-year-old Kainta Gadatia of Adakata village in Daspalla administrative block told VillageSquare.in

Appreciating its objective and reach, though within a radius of about 15 km, "The DCPU is supporting the program from the beginning," said Panda, the Nayagarh DCPO, adding that Suna Jhia has tremendous impact at the community level.

"In many cases, young boys are consulting officials and deferring their marriage when they find their bride-to-be younger than 18 years," Sanjukta Dasgupta, a Daspalla-based social activist, informed VillageSquare.in.

Change through community radio

With 10 Community Radio Stations (CRS) operating in Odisha at present, issues related to social justice, gender equality and community development have got a stronger voice in their respective areas of coverage.

The Balianta-based Radio Kishan has successfully changed the mindset of betel leaf farmers who restricted women from working in the betel vine farms because of the women's natural monthly menstruation. Women are now allowed to work in the betel leaf farms.

"Initially we faced resistance from the community. But things changed in favor of the women as our campaign was based on scientific facts and evidences," Pradeepta Dutta of Radio Kishan told VillageSquare.in.

In Nuapada district, the Khariar-based Radio Swayamshakti has its focus on issues reflecting gender inequality and health problems in the community. Talking to VillageSquare.in, Biswajit Padhi, chief functionary of the CRS said, "We strive to make the radio an open forum, facilitating free convergence between communities and the Nuapada district administration."

Way ahead

CRSs in Odisha have done tremendously well in keeping people as well as the administration informed during natural disasters, besides highlighting issues encountered by the grassroots communities. But there are several challenges to be overcome to keep the CRSs running and acting as an effective medium for community level convergence and development.

According to CRS managers, the primary issues include sustainability of the non-commercial radio serving the communities and its limited reach within a 10 km radius. Limited reach makes it difficult to achieve desired goals because geographically, communities do not live as a concentrated population. As the habitations are scattered even beyond the coverage area, community-focused radio programs do not reach all the intended audience.

Highlighting that government support is limited, Padhi in a note of dissent said, "UNICEF, which could support CRSs offers to broadcast content produced by it in association with BBC Media Actionfree of cost. If reputed global institutions start such practice, how can the CRSs sustain?" However, no comment on this could be obtained from UNICEF, despite attempts.

"Some international NGOs (iNGO) have started networking with local CRSs with their own agenda. If they push issues of their interest into the radio content, some of the issues concerning communities would be ignored by the local CRSs," Sisir Das told VillageSquare.in, referring to a recently held national level consultation on community radios, organized by an Odisha-based CRS in partnership with an iNGO in Bhubaneswar.

"Such networking with iNGOs can help develop new models of sustainable community radio stations. This would be possible if the iNGOs support capacity building in the sector to identify and present issues that concern the community instead of interfering with the content," according to him.

Padhi highlighted that minimum support for sustainability and capacity building would encourage more CRSs to be established in the state and energize them to be catalysts of change at the community level.

Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai has been trolled online for wearing a pair of jeans and heeled boots to university.

An unverified image of her was posted to Facebook by the Pakistani news outlet Siasat, where Yousafzai is seen wearing a bomber jacket and head scarf, as well as the jeans and heels. The post has attracted more than 2,000 comments.

The photo has attracted the attention of trolls on both Facebook and Twitter, who deem her choice of dress unacceptable.

My tweet in @DailyMailUK Now tell me what's more defaming Pakistan. Her jeans or the entire world reading how we all mocked her attire? pic.twitter.com/pZq6ucxI6B

— Junaid Akram (@junaidakram83) October 17, 2017

Malala wearing jeans and a shirt in Oxford has started another debate. Pious pakistanis were expecting burqah from her.

— Ibrar (@IbrarIbrahim) October 14, 2017

Many others however, have hit back at the criticism, posting their support for the 20-year-old, thanking her for her courage in campaigning for girls' education.

Malala can wear whatever she wants she is an inspiration to everyone. Her courage inspires us all to keep fighting for girls everywhere to get the education they deserve. #LetGirlsLearn#MalalaYousafzai#oxforduniversitypic.twitter.com/me0jfJhiFc

Trolling #Malala is the lowest of lows. She is free to be the woman she wants to be! https://t.co/DlFyYvOLJn

— MD (@elephantcaravan) October 17, 2017

Purchased your book today for my granddaughter. You are an inspiration to females of every age around the world. Thank you.

Yousafzai began her studies in philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford University in early October. Malala and her family moved to the UK after she was shot by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating for girls' education. In 2014, when she was just 16, Yousafzai became the youngest person to be named a Nobel Prize recipient.

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh on Friday said ex-president Pranab Mukherjee had every reason for grievance at being ignored for prime ministership despite being more qualified but knew "I had no choice" in the matter, and that smoothened their relationship.

Singh's comments at the launch of Mukherjee's book--'The coalition years--in the presence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her deputy Rahul Gandhi left the audience in splits.

"In 2004 when Soniaji chose me to become the prime minister, Pranabji was one of the most distinguished colleagues that I had.

"He had every reason to feel a grievance that he was better qualified than I was to become the prime minister, but he also knew that I have no choice in the matter," the former prime minister said as the audience, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, burst into guffaw.

Mukherjee wrote in his book that after the 2004 election victory there was intense speculation in the party about who would be the prime minister, but the consensus within the Congress was that the incumbent should be a political leader with experience in party affairs and administration.

"The prevalent expectation was that I would be the next choice for prime minister after Sonia Gandhi declined. This expectation was possibly based on the fact that I had extensive experience in government," he wrote.

Mukherjee also said that when he declined to join the government headed by Manmohan Singh, Sonia insisted on his being a part of it as he would be "vital to its functioning and also be of support of Singh".

Mukherjee, in his speech at the book release function, decribed the Congress as a coalition in itself, as it brings all ideas on one platform.

"It was difficult to have one coalition within and another outside. But that was done," he said.

Mukherjee said in the book he has described the coalition years and tried not to bring in any personal matters. He said running the coalition government seemed difficult but everything worked out smoothly.

Mukherjee said in writing the book about the coalition years of 1996 to 2012, he did not claim the objectivity of a historian, which he is not, but put down things while viewing them as a political activist.

Singh said with their relation smoothened, they ran the government as a cohesive team. He said history would record Mukherjee's great contribution to the management of Indian polity.

The former prime minister described Mukherjee as the "most distinguished living parliamentarian and Congressman", whom everyone in the party looked up to for discussing and resolving ticklish and difficult issues.

"He is a politician by choice. He is the greatest politician living in the country. I became a politician by accident when P V Narasimha Rao asked me to become the finance minister," he said.

Singh described Mukherjee and NCP chief Sharad Pawar as respected senior members of his government both of whom were of great calibre. He said if the UPA government ran smoothly, a large measure of credit would go to Pranab Mukherjee.

While Sonia Gandhi and Rahul did not speak nor sit on the dais, a number of leaders including CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury, CPI Secretary Sudhakar Reddy, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav and DMK leader Kanimozhi spoke.

Akhilesh Yadav, in his brief speech, said Mukherjee's book would come in handy for young politicians like him when elections are due just like good notes ahead of exams.

He also said people look forward to another coalition as elections draw closer. Akhilesh, who was recently re- elected the SP president, said people earlier dealt with his father Mulayam Singh Yadav but would now deal with him.

Yechury said Pranab Mukherjee has an "elephant-like memory", remark that prompted Sonia Gandhi to quip he had the memory of "two elephants".

This is PART II of a two-part series. Check out the first part here.

As the air worsens for the winter, you may find yourself wanting to protect your family with air purifiers, masks, or a pollution sensor, but are uncertain how to select and use them. Here are some tips on to get the best:

Air purifiers:

• HEPA filters are essential to remove PM2.5. Jeff Smith, a founding member of Help Delhi Breathe, advises looking for models with HEPA filters rated H13 or H14.

• Many purifiers use carbon to remove odours and some harmful gases. Smith recommends those models that feature several kilos of activated carbon (or alumina).

• Some models also feature ionisation technology. Barun Aggarwal, CEO of Breathe Easy, told us that ionisation is not essential (and can be harmful), so look for an air purifier with an option to shut this feature off, in models that use it.

• A larger number of filters does not necessarily equal better performance.

• Look for a unit that is portable. So it can be used in the bedroom at night, and in the living room in the day.

• Smith cautions against machines that take air in only at the floor level as the filters will quickly get clogged with dust and larger particles.

• To determine the required number of purifiers, Aggarwal suggests halving the square footage recommended by the manufacturer, as their numbers are based on ideal conditions and with the machine operating at high speed, which is often quite noisy.

• Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is a metric used by manufacturers. A high CADR is important as buildings in India let in a lot of unfiltered, outside air. Therefore, a purifier that cleans the air well but cannot circulate the air in a room through its filter fast enough will not be effective.

• Doors and windows must be kept closed for the purifiers to be effective. Open windows once a day for about an hour to reduce CO2 levels.

• Purifier filter maintenance:

  • Vacuum or wash pre-filters, but never wash a HEPA filter and avoid vacuuming HEPA filters as they are easily damaged.

  • Check HEPA filters regularly and replace as per the manufacturer's instructions (up to 2 times per year in the most polluted places).

• There are many products on the market, but a few that have been independently tested for the efficacy of their filters without any emission of harmful gases and their CADR include Sharp and IQAir.

• Car purifiers are now available, but may not be necessary if your car has high-quality filters. Aggarwal advises people to test their cars before investing in one.

Masks:

• Effective, inexpensive masks should be rated N95 or higher, such as Venus, 3M, and Honeywell masks. These masks cannot be gotten wet, are available only in adult sizes, and are disposable. When the mask is visibly soiled (or, in the case of a green, carbon-containing mask, when the smell of the filtered air changes), it must be replaced.

• Masks are available in different levels of resistance. Lower resistance masks are not as effective at filtering particles, but are easier to wear during aerobic activities, and have one-way exhalation vents.

• The more expensive masks, such as Vogmask and Cambridge mask, come in sizes for children. Aggarwal cautions that they can be very carefully surface cleaned, preferably after removing the valve, but not soaked nor wrung out to dry. Each manufacturer provides guidelines, but in unhealthy (red on AQI scale, PM2.5 56-150 µg/m3) conditions, one Cambridge mask can be worn for approximately 220 hours.

• A mask is only effective when it fits snugly, with a metal piece across the nose and tightened at the base of the chin, as per the manufacturer's instructions.

• Extend mask life by storing in a ziplock bag when not in use.

• Do not wear masks for long periods of time as it can lead to higher exposure to CO2 (pay attention to symptoms: dizziness, headache, fatigue).

• Nasal filters offer an exciting new type of protection against particulate pollution. They are more discreet and comfortable than masks. The self-adherent films that cover the entire nostril (versus alternatives that must be inserted into the nose) are the most effective.

Air pollution sensors:

• Check online real-time resources for monitoring stations near you (e.g. http://clonewdelhi.com/custom/AQI/missionindiaaqi.php#, and http://aqicn.org/city/delhi/ito/, https://openaq.org/#/?_k=pt2rau).

• Sensors can be purchased that measure a combination of PM2.5, PM10, carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds.

• Sensors come in three categories: A, B, and C grade sensors. The most readily available are C-grade sensors, which are good enough to tell the relative difference in air quality with or without an air purifier on (or indoor versus outdoor). However, readings from these sensors can be variable. More reliable and expensive are A- or B-grade sensors, which are reference grade (EPA approved) or commercial quality, respectively.

• Aggarwal suggests using sensors only for the length of time required to make a measurement, then shutting them off and keeping them inside to prolong the life of the sensor, which may need to be replaced every 18 months to 2 years. Ideally, look for a model that allows for the replacement of the sensor after this period. Occasionally compare measurements with the closest publicly-available monitoring stations to make sure the sensor is still functioning well.

BENGALURU, Karnataka -- The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Bengaluru Police on Friday released the sketches of the suspects in connection with the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh.

Lankesh was shot dead at her residence by few unidentified assailants on September 5.

"Based on the information we have made the sketches, now we want cooperation from the people," the Special Investigation Team (SIT) chief, B.K. Singh, said here.

Singh said they had traced out that the suspects stayed somewhere in Bengaluru for minimum seven days, adding, "it could be more than 15 days also."

Singh further stated that they also have the video of the recce done by the suspects and they would be releasing it as well.

There are two suspects and the sketches have been made by two artists based on accounts of different eyewitnesses, he said.

Singh emphasised that they couldn't ascertain the religion of the suspects by their external appearances "like 'tilak or earrings' as they can be misleading too."

The police didn't confirm if the weapons used in murder of writer M.M. Kalburgi and Lankesh were similar.

The SIT elaborated that they had investigated 200-250 people in connection with the case.

Lankesh was the editor of the Gauri Lankesh Patrike, a tabloid described as an "anti-establishment" publication.

Following her murder, several protests, across the country and especially in prominent parts of Karnataka, took place, leading to a stricter probe into the incident.
