A vulnerable Gujarat Police has sought and been granted 
permission to post guards outside all state police stations. A Police Bhavan notice says armed guards will protect all security personnel and police establishments round the clock.
There were moves to station them sixth months back, but for some reason the proposal was then shelved.
The recently implemented order has raised question whether law enforcers should be given protection. The common refrain is what kind of cop is he who can’t protect himself?
Local newspapers are full of reports of murder, rape, kidnapping and robbery. And how bad the state of affairs is has been acknowledged by state home minister Amit Shah himself. Shah startled all in the Lower House when he read out the gruesome details: 191 cases of murder, rape, robbery and loot in Ahmedabad alone in the past two years.
It is shameful that Ahmedabad police have failed to nab a single culprit in 41 cases of murder, 11 of robbery and 735 of loot. Between June 2006 and May 2009 the city witnessed 267 cases of murder, 59 of robbery and 1,254 of loot.
Rape cases too have shot up steeply. The 2009 crime statistics show that at least one woman in the state is raped every day. This has made the case for guarding policemen all the more untenable.
While there is indeed a comic element in it, women activists do not find the police department’s move in the least funny. An activist who did not wish to be identified said the state’s cops were a lethargic and corrupt lot, and thus had no business to squander taxpayers’ money to pay for their own protection.
What the police should be doing, say crime watchers, is to institute the long needed reforms that have so far remained in office files. Like some other states, Gujarat too faces severe shortage of security personnel. These same guards could be used to bolster police manpower in the crime-hit areas.
But the police will have none of this. Argues RJ Sawani, commandant of the SRP group at the ONGC camp, Mehsana: “It is nothing new for the police department to have guards protecting their establishments. As a matter of fact it has all along been a tradition, and there is a provision for granting such a facility in the Police Manual. All security norms have a place for it. In Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa and Jharkhand police stations are easy targets for Maoists, and hence the need for security.” According to him people are as safe as their protectors are.
But this is what the officer says; among the people the move has created deep and widespread resentment. And this anger mounts as steadily as the crime graph climbs. This is one more problem that the cops in this violence-ridden state are having to cope with.

on high science and technology. One should not therefore create a picture of a world where the functions of the heart or blood will all be replaced by something nano. I think that we will have technologies similar to what we have today except that they will be miniaturised. We would have transistors which are extremely small and computers which are very tiny. The main thing is that we will be using very tiny materials and tiny devices to accomplish the same objective. We will probably use nanotechnology in nanomedicine, medical imaging and such applications.
For example, in delivery of drugs we can use nano delivery systems, which will give slow release in small quantities as required medicine. In addition, gene delivery would be possible. More importantly, tissue engineering which will help in building new types of organs (which are lost or damaged) would have great applications. For example, if we can grow a new spinal cord or artificial skin, it would be wonderful. There are already applications of nanoparticles of silver and other materials in purification of water and also in creating bandages for burn victims.
the shenanigans of the YS Jaganmohan Reddy camp. Jagan acolytes, scared that their power centres might crumble if the dynastic principle were not upheld, had first threatened to resign en masse. Some even went so far as to tear off Sonia Gandhi’s posters amidst rallies and hunger-strikes – but the Congress called their bluff. On the other hand many others in Andhra Pradesh kept wondering why none from YSR’s own family figured in the 600 “shock deaths” after his helicopter crashed on September 2. Though of course right now what everybody wants to know is not whether these figures were manipulated, but what might lie in store for Jagan. He and his followers minted crores, while the common man was bought off with poorly funded welfare schemes.
The Egyptions, Greeks, the Chaldeans and the Chinese have their own methods. Vedic Astrology, which originated in India 6000 years back, is one of the stronger forms of Astrology. It forms an integral part of the Vedangas. Vedic astrology dazzles modern scientists till date as with correctly given date, time and place of birth of an individual or Jataka, it can describe in details not only what the future holds but also the entire characteristics of an individual. It also gives ample information about people associated with the Jataka. It accurately predicts everything about an individual - his parents, siblings, married life, service life, his boss, his karma and even his death. Astrology is today being used extensively for election analysis, predicting world affairs and global events, finding solution for medical problems, criminology, prediction of weather and match-making
matted locks, finds its source in the Himalayas and so do the Indus, Sutlej and Brahmaputra. In the Hindu pantheon the Himalayas are Giriraj, the king of mountains, holding within his folds three of their holiest shrines: Kedarnath, Badrinath and Amarnath. “The Himalayas are the connection between the seven heavens and seven worlds,” says Sonaram Sarma Burhabhakat, a preacher from the Kamalabari Satra set up by Sri Sri Xankardeb in Assam’s Majuli island.
President Ayub Khan in the 1958 Tokyo Asian Games. He was the star of the 1960 Rome Olympics. After clocking a world record 45.8 seconds in the 400 metres preliminaries, Milkha finished fourth in a photo-finish in the final. This was to haunt him all his life. When shooter Abhinav Bindra won Gold in Beijing last year, the Flying Sikh exclaimed “He has won the gold I had lost.”
money from the stock market. But what he will perhaps be most remembered for is the manner in which he manipulated the tools of power to further his business interests. In the 1970s and 1980s, when entrepreneurship was in serious crisis, thanks to the crippling red tape and bureaucracy, Dhirubhai indeed showed a new way of doing things.
subcontinent. It should be treated as such and not as any religion or faith. In fact, it is a loosely bound unit of mutually opposite and contrasting people. Some believe in God, some don’t. There are no laid down rules and strictures. It is a mixture of several ideologies and philosophies and constantly evolve over time. It was not started by the proclamation of one prophet, one messenger of God or a great soul. It has been nurtured by the mixture of scientific approaches, superstitions, progressive philosophies, irrelevant and relevant discussions and the soul of the Indian society.
itself speaks. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is a child prodigy, a quick learner, a risk taker, a cool-headed human being, a galvanised run machine and no doubt the greatest cricket icon of the world today. “But still he is a student of game,” says his former colleague and present Indian bowling coach B K Venkatesh Prasad. The God of cricket wants to cross the 15,000-runs mark in test cricket and if you look at his past, sure he can and sure he will.
who like to be on their own and go and see places by themselves, Goa has some of the best churches in the world. They are really old, but are strongly built and the architecture is such that one would be amazed to see them. The beaches in Goa are the best in the world and that is something that goes without saying. There are so many virgin beaches, which haven't been discovered and are not known to most, and things like this make the trips even more exciting. So if you love the sand, beach and water, then you'll never really want to return from Goa.
presented as comic strips in Chandamama magazine. As time passed, it increased its ambit. Political and social satire also took the help of cartoons. Abid Surti gave this art its initial push. But the first hit was Dabbuji in the weekly Dharm Yug. Then the Indrajal comics came. Bahadur was the desi version of western superheroes. Until then, Phantom and Mandrake ruled the market. In the 60s Srimati Ji, Pinki, Babloo, Chacha Chaudhary and my characters stormed in. But the tallest tradition of them all was India Book House’s Amar Chitra Katha, Anant Pai's brainchild.
political analyst quipped that an arrogant Congress has had a reality check and the Assembly elections in Maharashtra and Haryana will put the UPA in its place. As far as Maharashtra is concerned, where elections will be held on October 13, there are primarily three issues that will determine the fate of the elections. First and foremost is the way people perceive the decade-old rule of NCP-Congress coalition. Second is the continuing incidents of suicide among farmers in spite of the Centre's relief measures. The third factor is price rise. And, of course there is the factor of delimitation. The other factors are not state-specific. Independent candidates and rebels in the fray can always play spoilsports.
