"The Ranvir Sena is today a spent force and there does not seem any other private sena coming up which is willing to take its place. This does not however mean that that the movement of Bihar's poor for their legitimate rights does not face any opposition. The task of protecting and advancing the interests of the feudal forces, earlier performed by the private landlord armies, is now being directly undertaken by the state forces. Central forces like the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and CRPF have been moved in along with the Special Task Force (STF) of the Bihar Police. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to do what the private armies were unable to do." - by Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves

Friends, As Israel's brutal occupation of Palestinian territory and its genocidal campaign continues, justice-loving people all over the world are coming forward to express their solidarity with the courageous resistance of the Palestinian people and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction campaign against Israeli Zionists is gaining increasing popularity. It is against this backdrop that the 'Indian People in Solidarity with Palestine' is organising its next programme in Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.

জানিনা,কথা হয়নি নবারুণদার সনে কি তিনি কি আদৌ জানতেন আমরা উদ্বাস্তুরাও আসলে ফ্যাতাড়ুদের দলে? সবিতাবাবুর চাই সেই হারানো ডুরে সাড়ি ডুরে বাঘ তবু আছে মহানগরে ডুবে আছি হারিয়ে গেছে ভালোবাসার সেই আঁচল সেই ডুরে সাড়ির বন্যা পলাশ বিশ্বাস
জানিনা,কথা হয়নি নবারুণদার সনে কি তিনি কি আদৌ জানতেন
আমরা উদ্বাস্তুরাও আসলে ফ্যাতাড়ুদের দলে?
সবিতাবাবুর চাই সেই হারানো ডুরে সাড়ি
ডুরে বাঘ তবু আছে
মহানগরে ডুবে আছি
হারিয়ে গেছে ভালোবাসার সেই আঁচল
সেই ডুরে সাড়ির বন্যা
পলাশ বিশ্বাস
প্রসঙ্গঃএই সময়ে প্রকাশিত লেখা-এরাও উদ্বাস্তু,যাদের নোবেল পুরস্কার বিজয়িনী সু চি পর্যন্ত মানুষ মনে করেননি,সেই রোহিঙ্গা জনগোষ্ঠির উদ্বাস্তু কাহিনী
১৯৯১-৯২ সালে আড়াই লক্ষাধিক মুসলিমরোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থীবার্মার (বর্তমান: মায়ানমার) সামরিক জান্তার নির্যাতন-নিপীড়ন থেকে মুক্তি পেতে বাংলাদেশে আশ্রয় নেয়। তাদের অনেকেই বিশ বছর যাবৎ বাংলাদেশে অবস্থান করছে।সেই উদ্বাস্তু ঢল বয়েই চলেছে।সারা পৃথীবী তোলপাড়।ভারতবর্ষের তা নিয়ে মাথাব্যথা নেই।বাংলায় বাঙালি উদ্বাস্তুরা ব্রাত্য,অন্ত্যজ,অছুত,তাঁদের তাড়ানোর সবরকম অভিযান ব্যর্থ,পশ্চিম বঙ্গের বাঙাল যন্ত্রণা অসহনীয়।
দন্ডকারণ্যে,আন্দামানে,নৈনীতালে,অসমে ত্রিপুরাতে, রাজস্থানে, ইউপিতে,বিহারে ,ঝাড়খন্ডে- ভারতবর্ষের রাজ্যে রাজ্যে তাংরা রক্তবীজের মত ছড়িয়ে,ছিটিয়ে।
তাঁদের নাগরিকত্ব আছে আবার নাগরিকত্ভ নেই।
তাঁদের পরিচয় আছে।আবার পরিচয় নেই।
তাঁদের পুনর্বাসন হয়েছে যতটা,উত্খাত বেদখলী হয়েছে অনেক গুণ বেশি।আদৌ পুনর্বাসন হয়নি,তার চেয়ে শতগুণ বেশি।
তারাও যাদের পুনর্বাসন হয়নি,ছড়িয়ে ছিটিয়ে বাংলাদেশি পরিচয়ে অবান্ছিত বেনাগরিক।উদ্বাস্তু বা শরণার্থী বা মানুষ,তাদের পরিচয় কোনোটাই নয়।তারা আবার এই পশ্চিম বাংলায় রেলে লাইন ,খালধার, বিল ধার,শ্মশান ঘাট,ফুটপথ,ব্রিজের তলা,অরণ্যভূমি,খাস জমি দখল করে বাংলার জলজমি জঙ্গলে আগাছার মত বেঁচে আছে।অবান্ছিত।
ভিনরাজ্য থেকে দলে দলে তারা কখনো কখনো বর্গিদের মত হানা দেয় কখনো কখনো।বুঝেও বোঝে না,সেই মরিচঝাঁপির রক্তলেখা,আগুনের উত্সব,নৌকাডুবি,পুলিশ ফাযরিং,নিস্পাপ শিশুদের দরিয়ায় ভাসান,নারী মাংসের কুটির শিল্প ও অবিরাম ধর্ষণেও তারা বাঙালি।
তাঁদের ইতিহাসে নাম লেখা হয়নি।
তাঁরা আজও বাস্তুহারা।
তাঁরা আজও ছিন্নমূল।
তাঁরা আজও অস্পৃশ্য,ব্রাত্যজন।
তাঁরা অবান্ছিত।
তাঁরা দেশ ভাগের সত্তর বছর পরও শুধু ইস্ট বেঙ্গল।
তাঁরা আগা থেকে গোড়া আজও বাঙাল।
ভদ্রলোক সাজলেও বাদাবন,নদী নালার গন্ধ তাঁদের রয়ে গেছে।
এসচি,বসলুম বললেও বাঙাল টান ঘোচে নি,বাঙাল টান মোছে নি।
শুধু হারিয়ে গেছে হিন্দু মুসলিম নিরপেক্ষ সেই ভালোবাসার আঁচল,সেই ডুরে সাড়ি,যা গাঁয়ে গ্রামে টিকে থাকলেও থাকতে পারে,শহরান্চলে এবং শিল্পান্চলে ডুরে সাড়ির ঠাঁই নাই নাই।
গ্রাম বাংলা কতটা বেঁচে আছে,জসিম কবির লেখার মত সেই গ্রামবাংলা,জীবনানন্দের সেই আলক্ষেত,ডিএল রায়ের সেই সকল দেশের রানি বেঁচে আছে কি নেই,সাবআলটার্ণ বিজ্ঞানীদির কি মতামত,মহানগরের জীবন জীবিকায় নিমগ্ন আমার জানার কথা নয়।
তবু সবিতাবাবুর চাই সেই হারানো ডুরে সাড়ি!
ডুরে বাঘ তবু আছে!
মহানগরে ডুবে আছি!
হারিয়ে গেছে ভালোবাসার সেই আঁচল!
সেই ডুরে সাড়ির বন্যা!
তবু মন পড়ে থাকে সেই পিছনে ফেলে আসা নৈনিতালের উদ্বাস্তু উপনিবেশে।দিনেশপুরে।আমার গ্রম বাসন্তীপুরে।
যেখানে জনম ইস্তক সেই ডুরে সাড়ির বন্যা দেখেছি।
লালপেড়ে সাড়ি।
ডূরে সাড়ি।
বিধবার সাদা থান।
উদ্বাস্তু জীবনের সাড়ি কাহিনীর ইতিকথা ইহা ব্যাতিরেক দেখিনি পন্চাশ ষাটের এমনকি সত্তর দশকেও।
বাংলায় বাবার হাত ধরে এসেছিলাম হাইস্কূল পেরিয়ে যখন,তখনো সত্তর দশকের রমরমা।তখনও নক্সাল বেঁচে ছিল।
তখনো বঙ্গশ্রী,সুলেখা,জেসপের রমরমা ছিল।
ছাপান্ন হাজার কল কারখানা তখনো বন্ধ হয়নি।
লে আফ,লকআউট আমদানি হয়নি।
ভিআরআরএস,ডিসিনভেস্টমেন্ট অনেক পরের গল্প।
তখনো চাবাগানের খুশবু ছিল বাংলা থেকে তমাম ভারত মুলুকে।তখনো চাবাগানে মৃত্যুমিছিল শুরু হয়নি।
তখনো ব জুটমিল শ্মশান হয়ে যায়নি।
তখনো সমস্ত ট্রেন যাত্রার অভিমুখ কোলকাতা ছিল।
বাবা আমায় কোলকাতা দেখাতে নিয়ে গিযে সবার আগে হেঁটে কেওড়াতলা মহাশ্মশানে নিয়ে গিয়ে ছিলেন।
দেখে ছিলাম সেই শাশ্বত স্মৃতি ফলক জীবনে প্রথমবারঃ
তিষ্ঠ ক্ষণকাল!
সেই কেওড়াতলার মহাশ্মশানে ঘুমিয়ে আছে আমাদের বরাত্যজনের,অন্তজদের ফ্যাতাড়ুদের গোরিলা মহানায়ক
নবারুণ ভট্টাচার্য!
সেই কেওড়াতলার মহাশ্মশানে বাবা একদিন পূর্ব বাংলার বাস্তুহারা ছিন্নমূলদের পুনর্বাসনের দাবিতে মাইকেলের সমাধিস্থলে আমরণ অনশনে বসেছিলেন এবং তার কমরেড,তার নেতা তাঁকে এবং তাঁর সঙ্গী সাথিদের বাংলা ছাড়া করেছিলেন!
সেই তাঁরা সেইদিন ফ্যালানির মত কাঁটাতারে বিদ্ধ হয়ে থাকল সারা জীবন এবং আমি তাঁদের হৃদপিন্ডের অবিরাম রক্তপাতের মধ্যে ঔ ডুরে সাড়ির ভালোবাসার বন্যায় মানুষ হয়েছি তাঁদের গড়া উপনিবেশে!
তাঁরা ঔ নেনীতালে গড়ে তুলেছিল তাঁদের সকল দেশে রানি বাংলাদেশ!
তাঁরা মরিচঝাঁপিতেও ফিরে আসেনি!
তবু আমি এসেছি!
ফিরে আসিনি আদৌ!
আমি ত আদৌ ছিলাম না!
না পুবে ছিলাম,না পশ্চিমে!
পুব পশ্চিম ত সুনীল গাঙ্গুলির ছিল!
আমি ত উত্তর এবং উত্তরকালের মানুষ!
জীবিকার প্রয়োজনে হাওড়া ইস্টিশানটা দেখা হল!
দেখা হল শেযালদা!
ওয়ারনা আমি সেই রোহিঙ্গা মুসলমান উদ্বাস্তু.যারা আছে,আবার নেই!
বাংলার বালডা ছেঁড়া যায়না!
উদ্বাস্তুরা আছে না না আছে,কেমনে আছে.তাঁদের মন আছে কি দেহটই সার,পশ্চিম বাংলার বালডাও ছেঁড়া যায় না!
ভিন রাজ্যের বাঙালিরা আছে কি নেই,তাঁরা মানুষ হয়ে আছে না,অমানুষ হয়ে আছে,ভদ্রলোক বর্ণহিন্দু পশ্চিম বাংলার বালডাও ছেঁড়া যায় না!
তবু কলকাতা তখনো কোলকাতা ছিল।
তবু কোলকাতায় কোমলগান্ধারের ,নবান্নের গন্ধ ছিল।
মিছিলের মহানগর তখনো মিছিলের মহানগর ছিলো।
তখনো যখন বাবার হাত ধরে মাইকেলের সমাধিস্থলে দাঁড়িয়েছিলাম সেখানেই,যেখানে আমাদের নবারুণদা বিশ্রামে আছেন আগামী যুদ্ধের প্রস্তুতি।নবারুণদাও তে বিজন ভট্টাচার্যের ছেলে।
জানিনা,কথা হয়নি নবারুণদার সনে কি তিনি কি আদৌ জানতেন
আমরা উদ্বাস্তুরাও আসলে ফ্যাতাড়ুদের দলে?

ndependent People’s Tribunal of 4 Judges visits Sardar Sarovar Project Areas
PRESS RELEASE
Independent People's Tribunal of 4 Judges visits
Sardar Sarovar Project Areas
Receives applications from hundreds of oustees complaining of
gross violations and unlawful submergence
Badwani | 11th Sep, 2015: A Panel of three retired and well-known Justices of various High Courts including Jst. P.C Jain (Rajasthan High Court), Jst. Nag Mohan Das (Karnataka High Court) and Jst. V.D. Gyanai (Madhya Pradesh High Court) visited numerous villages in the Dharampuri, Manavar, Kukshi and Badwani Tehsils of the Sardar Sarovar Project affected areas today and received a large number of complaints / representations of violations of law and policy in the rehabilitation process, corruption and submergence of properties as well as atrocities on the poor, dalits and adivasis by the State.
The Panel of Judges was invited by a team of distinguished citizens including Jst (Retd.) Rajinder Sacher [Retd. Chief Justice, Delhi High Court].; Syeda Hameed [Former Member, Planning Commission of India and National Commission for Women]; Sagar Sarhadi, Senior film maker, short story and play writer, writer, director and producer; Prof. Anil Sadgopal,Eminent Educationalist and Founder, All India Forum on Right to Education.;Ramdas Bhatkal, Founder, Popular Prakashan, Mumbai and Senior Litterateurand Anand Patwardhan, Internationally Acclaimed Film Maker on Developmental and Human Rights Issues, to hear the oustees and also invite the State agencies for a hearing and give its findings on the legality of the decisions of the Government of India to pursue the dam work in the light of large number of complaints of denial of R&R from the oustees as well as official evidence from the orders of the GRAs, Jst. Jha Commission, High Court and Supreme Court as well as other authorities.
The Judges patiently held hearings in different villages including Khalghat, Dharampuri Township as well as Vill. Semalda (Teh. Manavar) and VillagesChhota Barda, Pipri and Chikalda, Kadmal, Khaparkheda and Nisarpur(Tehsil Kukshi); heard out the oustees, especially elderly persons and women who poured out their grievances of denial of R&R, poor quality amenities at the resettlement sites, massive corruption, unlawful submergence in 2012-13 etc.
The Judges were brief about the irregularities in the back water level surveys by the oustees of Gazipura and denial of livelihood based rehabilitation to the landless. Fish workers of Semalda demanded right to fisheries in the reservoir and alleged no response from the state despite umpteen representations. Farmers from Chhota Barda and Pipri claimed that since they have become owners of their acquired lands / houses, as per the new Land Acquisition Act, the ongoing dam work and attempts to submerge their properties is a gross legal violation. Farmers, workers, adivasis, fisher families from Chikalda, Nisarpur and other villages demanded that the Govt. must first come clean on the true state of land and livelihood based R&R and conduct oustee-wise, village wise fresh surveys before undertaking any further work on the dam.
"In a four hour long visit, I found people still living in the orginal villages and have not rehabilitated. It is unfortunate that the government promise but backtrack when it comes to their rehabilitation. Displacing people without rehabilitation is a violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India", said Justice V.D. Gyani.
"I am shocked to see the scenario here. It is wrong and illegal to displace people without rehabilitation", commented Justice Jain. "The pain of the people here is deeper than the depth of the Sardar Sarovar Dam", added Justice Jain after hearing the complaints of the oustees in the villages he visited.
Justice Das who visited the valley for the first time said, "I have read in books about the struggle by the people in the Narmada valley over 30 years". "Gradually the practice of agriculture of is being declined. The policies results are such that the farmers are discouraged go ahead with agriculture. Agriculture must be respected and encouraged", he added.
On this occasion social activist Ms. Medha Patkar informed that there are 16,000 families who were earlier declared under submergence at the 122 m height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam but now when the height of the dam is being increased to 17 meters these same families are excluded from the list.
The Judges are to conclude their visit late evening and undertake a detailed hearing called "Jan Adalat" at Rajghat, Badwani tomorrowfrom 11 a.m. onwards in the presence of thousands of oustees and are likely to announce their interim Opinion / Findings, based on their observations and assessment of the legal and field situation. The Panel shall be joined by Jst. (Retd.) N.K. Modi (M.P. High Court) tomorrow.

BOUDH DALIT GIRL'S BODY FOUND HANGING FROM TREE
http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Pioneer/400x60/0
A 15-year-old Dalit girl's body was on Thursday found hanging from a tree in Boudh district. The girl was a class-IX student at Gogendradeb upgraded school at Jaitapur village in the district.
The body, which bore several injury marks, was sent for post-mortem, the police said, adding that the victim's mother in her FIR alleged that it was a case of rape and murder.
The girl had left her house in the evening of Tuesday and did not return till her body was found. As the leg of the body was touching the ground, the family members suspected it to be a case of rape and murder.
The police have picked up two persons for questioning.
In another incident, the body of a female worker (45) was recovered on Wednesday in a pool of blood at a hotel near ITI on the outskirt of Phulbani town, police said. The victim hailed from Kunjanpada village under Komna Police Station in Nuapada district.

Dalit woman gang-raped, seven arrested within hours
http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Times_of_India/400x60/0
Amravati: Chandur Bazar police nabbed seven people, including two juveniles, who gang-raped a 25-year-old woman in a farm on Jalnapur-Riddhapur roadWednesday night. Police identified the accused as Sandeep Thakare, Shiva Jamthe, Santosh Lakhan Sanskar, Prafulla Waghade and Shivam Wankhade, all residents of Riddhapur. The names of the minors have been withheld.
Police said that the rape survivor is a married woman and mother of a 7-year-old daughter but stays away from her husband, who resides in Warud.
Chandur Bazar Police Inspector SR Rajput told TOI that the woman is a native of Riddhapur but had shifted to Chandur Bazar about a month ago after she lost her job at a private clinic. Rajput said that around 7.30pm on Wednesday, her acquaintance in Riddhapur, a minor, called her on her cell phone. While talking to him, she told him that she was jobless and requested him to suggest patients in need of medicare so that she could earn her living. She also asked for a help of Rs 1,500 till she landed another job.
The youth, Prakash (name changed) asked her to come to Riddhapur with his friend Santosh Sanskar, who, he said, would fetch her on his bike. Santosh reached the woman's place and took the woman with him on his bike. But instead of taking her to Riddhapur, he drove her towards Sonori-Nanori village on Jalnapur-Riddhapur road. Then leaving the main road, he took a narrow lane that led to a farm, about 1km away. There he took her in a hut and they waited there for Prakash.
Prakash reached there with his five friends Sandeep Thakare, Shiva jamthe, Prafulla Waghade, Shivam Wankhade and another minor Hitesh (name changed) around 9.00pm. For the next two hours, they raped the woman and then fled from the spot, leaving the victim behind.
PI Rajput told TOI that the victim walked back to Riddhapur and reached Chandur Bazar police station in a vehicle around 12.30am and narrated her tale. He said that police swung into action and arrested all seven accused from different places in Riddhapur before dawn. He said that the victim's medical examination was conducted and an offence under sections 120, 376(d) of IPC and relevant sections of Atrocity Act was registered around 1.25 am.
SDPO Paunikar is now investigating into the case.

Parallel protests in UoH by teachers, students
http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Times_of_India/400x60/0
HYDERABAD: Anarchy ruled the roost at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) on Thursday. Two simultaneous protests rocked the campus - one against the 'gender and racial discrimination' faced by Gracious Temsen, an associate professor from the Northeast, and the other against the suspension of five dalit students over a recent altercation.
Members of the University of Hyderabad Teachers' Association (UHTA) began an indefinite relay hunger strike in front of the DST Auditorium, with K Laxminarayana, president of UHTA, and Abani Vhuyan, professor at the chemistry department, taking the lead. They were protesting the raid on Temsen's house by on-campus security guards in her absence on May 31.
"Despite raising our voices for more than a week, nobody from the administration came forward to discuss the issue," said Laxminarayana. The teachers have threatened that if the authorities fail to meet their demands, the final step would be to boycott classes.
The UHTA has asked the authorities to issue show cause notices to the deputy registrar, estate and security, for conducting the search.They have also demanded a public apology to Temsen and inclusion of faculty members from the Northeast in the probe committee.
While the strike was on at the auditorium, hundreds of students shut down the administrative building protesting against the suspension of five dalit students by a proctorial board for allegedly beating up Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) president Susheel Kumar. The students demanded that the proctorial board immediately revoke the decision.
"The report by the proctorial board clearly states that they couldn't find any hard evidence on whether the five dalit students hit the ABVP president Susheel or not. Then on what basis did they take the decision?" questioned Daniel B, general secretary of the students' union.
During the day , vice-chancellor RP Sharma reportedly held a meeting with the heads of departments, chief warden and members of the proctorial board to decide the further course of action. After several deliberations, the administration decided to review the students' issue.
However, the students' union was not enthused and continued the protest. "If the same committee reviews the issue, there are very few chances that they would revoke the decision," said Daniel, demanding that a new board look into the matter to reach a just conclusion.

'Funds still hard for dalits, govt must do more'
http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Times_of_India/400x60/0
Tamil Nadu may have more dalit entrepre neurs in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) category than any other state, but most of them face problems in getting credit because of their caste, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chairman Milind Kamble (pic) said on Thursday .
"Many dalit MSME entrepreneurs in the state are not able to secure financing once they disclose their caste," Kamble told TOI on the sidelines of the Global Investors Meet. "Most of them are first generation entrepreneurs and don't have any credit worth mentioning to support them."
"My father was a small businessman in Maharashtra," he said. "When I wanted to start a company , the first hurdle I faced to secure funds was my caste. This situation is still the same in TN."
As access to funding is a major impediment for dalit entrepreneurs, the government should relax credit norms for dalits, Kamble said.
"The government should devise schemes to give loans to dalit entrepreneurs without any collateral," he said. "That will help more people from the scheduled castes and tribes start businesses." He said the 1991 economic reforms not only opened the economy to foreign investors, they also created business avenues for dalits.
The number of dalit entrepreneurs in the country has been increasing exponentially. According to the 20152016 Union budget, there are 5.77 lakh dalit entrepreneurs, including 77,000 in TN.
"Apart from funds, acquisition and retention of talent are also a hurdle for dalit entrepreneurs," he said.
Tamil Nadu MSME minister P Mohan said of the `11 lakh crore investments the state received during the summit, around `16,000 crore was for small industries. The state was drawing up a separate industrial policy for MSMEs, he said.
Many MSMEs participating in the meet complained of delayed credit and clearances.
"I set up a unit in the Sipcot complex in Ariyalur. I have been running around for two years to get clearances and still have not got a power connection," Dhananjayan of Ariyalur said. "I will be able to get the remaining clearances in 30 days as the chief minister promised."

Former MP Balkrishna Wasnik passes away
http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Times_of_India/400x60/0
Nagpur: Veteran Congress leader and three-term member of Parliament Balkrishna Wasnik passed away on Thursday at a private hospital here following cardiac failure. His son and All India Congress Committee general secretary and ex-Union minister Mukul Wasnik was by his side when he breathed last around 2pm. He was 86.
Wasnik Sr had represented two constituencies of Vidarbha in Parliament — Bhandara and Buldhana. At a young age of 28 he was first elected in 1957 from Bhandara and from the same constituency he was elected again in 1962. Later, in 1980 he shifted to Buldhana at the western end of the region. After that term, his son Mukul inherited the seat and contested four elections before shifting in 2014 to Ramtek.
Wasnik is survived by son and two daughters, Dr Dipti and Dr Seema, and large number of family members, followers and well-wishers. The funeral procession will start from his residence near LAD Square at 10 am and the cremation will take place at Ambazari Ghat, MPCC member Nana Gawande said in a note issued on behalf of family.
All his life Wasnik fought for the poor and oppressed sections of the society. He was at the forefront in agitations to secure reservations for Dalits. A staunch supporter of separate Vidarbha, he led the movement in 1967 as president of Mahavidarbha Rajya Sangharsh Samiti. Despite advancing age, he participated in every agitation for the cause until recently.
Loyal to the core, he worked relentlessly for the Congress. However, his role along with Nashikrao Tirpude in the 1954 Lok Sabha by-election from Bhandara, became a sore point in later years. That by-poll was historic as Dalit icon Babasaheb Ambedkar, contesting as Scheduled Caste Federation candidate, lost to Congress candidate Borkar. The Congress, which always claimed to be champion of the oppressed classes, was blamed for nipping in the bud Ambedkar's electoral ambitions.
Local Congress leaders and workers gathered in large numbers at his Gandhinagar residence as the news of the veteran leader's demise broke in the afternoon.

Indian Express Reports:Barack Obama wants to admit 10,000 more refugees: White House About 17,000 Syrians have been referred over the last few years to the U.S. for resettlement by the U.N. refugee agency.
Indian Express Reports:Barack Obama wants to admit 10,000 more refugees: White House
About 17,000 Syrians have been referred over the last few years to the U.S. for resettlement by the U.N. refugee agency.
By: AP | Washington | Updated: September 11, 2015 10:52 am
Syrian refugees cross into Hungary underneath the border fence on the Hungarian – Serbian border near Roszke. (Source: AP) The United States is making plans to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees in the coming budget year, a significant increase from the 1,500 people who have been cleared to resettle in the U.S. since civil war broke out in the Middle Eastern country more than four years ago, the White House said Thursday.
The White House has been under heavy pressure to do more than just provide money to help meet the growing humanitarian crisis in Europe. Tens of thousands of people from war-torn countries in the Middle East and Africa are risking their lives and dying en masse during desperate attempts to seek safe haven on the continent.
The refugees from Syria, however, would be people who are already in the pipeline and waiting to be let into the United States, not the thousands working their way through eastern Europe after landing in Greece. It was not immediately clear how admitting a larger number of Syrian refugees who are in the processing pipeline would help alleviate the crisis that European countries are grappling with.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said about $4 billion that the administration has provided to relief agencies and others is the most effective way for the U.S. to help shoulder the crisis, but that President Barack Obama has decided that admitting more Syrian refugees in the budget year that begins Oct. 1 would also help boost the U.S. response.
About 17,000 Syrians have been referred over the last few years to the U.S. for resettlement by the U.N. refugee agency. About 1,500 are in the U.S., with another 300 scheduled to be allowed in this month. That leaves about 15,000 Syrians waiting for the clearance process to conclude, according to the State Department.
Obama would like to admit 10,000 of those, according to Earnest's announcement.
U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby also said the 10,000 Syrians will come from the pool of 17,000 people referred to the U.S. by the U.N. agency.
Earnest said earlier this week that the administration has been looking at a "range of approaches" for assisting U.S. allies with 340,000 people freshly arrived from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Many are fleeing parts of Iraq that are under the Islamic State group's control. The 1,500 Syrians who are resettling in the U.S. represent a small percentage of the 11.6 million people who have been chased out of the country or uprooted from their homes due to the civil war in Syria.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told lawmakers Wednesday that the U.S. will increase its worldwide quota for resettling refugees by 5,000, from 70,000 to 75,000 next year — and the number could still rise, according to two officials and a congressional aide who requested anonymity to discuss a private meeting.
Kerry said after meeting with Senate Judiciary Committee members that the U.S. would increase the number of refugees it is willing to accept. He did not provide a specific number.
"We are looking hard at the number that we can specifically manage with respect to the crisis in Syria and Europe," he said Wednesday.
Germany is bracing for some 800,000 asylum seekers this year.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kerry's predecessor at the State Department, called for an "emergency global gathering" at the U.N. General Assembly meeting this month, where countries could pledge aid money and to accept some of the migrants.
House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that the U.S. should increase the number of refugees it resettles next year by more than the 5,000 figure to help European countries, saying the figure suggested by Kerry "is far too low." Pelosi said the U.S. accepted far more refugees after the Vietnam War and could do so again.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin said he would be surprised if Pope Francis does not raise the refugee issue when he visits separately with Obama and members of Congress in two weeks. "We should be ready to respond," Durbin said.
Rep. Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, sounded alarms about the potential for Islamic State militants to use the refugee situation to sneak operatives into the West. He also said the U.S. doesn't have the manpower to adequately investigate the background of every Syrian who wants to come to the U.S.
Earnest said the safety and security of the U.S. and its citizens would be a top consideration when deciding which refugees are let into the country.

Jhumpa Lahiri awarded National Humanities Medal by Barack Obama

President Barack Obama awards the 2014 National Humanities Medal to author Jhumpa Lahiri of New York, during a ceremony in the East Room at the White House in Washington. (Source: AP)US President Barack Obama has presented the prestigious National Humanities Medal to Pulitzer Prize winner, Jhumpa Lahiri, in recognition of her "beautifully wrought narratives of estrangement and belonging" which highlight the "Indian-American experience".
Indian-American Lahiri was presented with the medal yesterday in the East Room of the White House in the presence of luminaries from the field of arts and humanities. First Lady, Michelle Obama, was also present during the ceremony.
"The 2014 National Humanities Medal to Jhumpa Lahiri, for enlarging the human story. In her works of fiction, Dr Lahiri has illuminated the Indian-American experience in beautifully wrought narratives of estrangement and belonging," the White House citation read.
Lahiri's parents and other family members were also present on the occasion.
Obama described the annual awards ceremony as his favourite White House event when "truly extraordinary artists and innovators and thinkers" are recognised for their brilliance while the rest of us look on and feel totally inadequate.
"The men and women that we honour today, recipients of the National Medals for the Arts and the Humanities, are here not only because they've shared rare truths, often about their own experience, but because they've told rare truths about the common experiences that we have as Americans and as human beings," Obama said.
"They span mediums and methods. We have artists, actors, writers, musicians, historians, a landscape architect, and a chef. Without them there would be no Edible Schoolyard, no Jhumpa Lahiri novels, no really scary things like Carrie and Misery," the US President said amid laughter.
"They are versatile — poets and opera singers who were also master teachers at liberal arts colleges and Detroit public schools; philosophers who wrote novels. They are visual artists who work filling pages that spilled over to screens, three-dimensional gallery floors, and most of a New York City block," he added.
"And they all have one thing in common: They do what they do because of some urgent inner force, some need to express the truth that they experience, that rare truth. And as a result, they help us understand ourselves in ways that we might not otherwise recognise. They deepen and broaden our great American story and the human story," Obama said.
The first National Humanities Medal was awarded in 1996.
Since then, the medal has been bestowed upon 163 individuals and 12 organisations, including this year's recipients.

14 Years Later: Remembering 9/11
 |
New York, USA-UNITED SIKHS observes the 14th anniversary of the terror attacks on September 11th, 2001. This day claimed 2,996 lives, left over 6,000 individuals injured, and forever changed the world we live in. For Sikhs, Muslims, Arabs, and other minority communities, the terror did not end on September 11th. 4 days after the attacks, another life was lost in the name of hate and ignorance-Sikh American Balbir Singh was shot outside of his gas station in Mesa, Arizona, his assailant telling witnesses he was going to go "kill some towelheads", shortly before the murder. This incident marked the beginning of an alarming increase in hate crimes against Sikh, Muslim, Arab, and South Asian Americans, including vandalism on places of worship, assault, and murder. As a result, UNITED SIKHS and other civil rights organizations joined the effort to ensure hate crimes against Sikhs, Arabs, and Hindus are tracked by federal agencies such as the FBI, who announced earlier this year that they will begin doing so. Although it has been 14 years since 9/11, the most recent of these hate crimes occurred only this week. 53 year old Inderjit Singh of Chicago, Illinois was driving when he was cut off by another driver who proceeded to get out of his car, approach Singh, and punch him repeatedly, referring to him as "Bin Laden", and telling him to go back to his country. |
 |
Inderjit Singh after the attack. |
In August, another Sikh man was fatally assaulted near his home. Satwinder Singh was stabbed multiple times by unidentified attackers who did not take any of his possessions after the attack. After 14 years, hate crimes continue to impact the Sikh community. On this day, the Sikh community remembers their fellow Americans who lost their lives 14 years ago, stands by all the individuals who are impacted by the bias created by 9/11, and remains in solidarity with all peace and justice loving organizations. It is up to us as individuals to stand up for our civil rights and refuse to live in fear. UNITED SIKHS continues to work towards combating ignorance and spreading awareness about the issues the Sikh community faces, through efforts such as the annual Sikh Summit, during which community members are given the opportunity to meet their Congressional representatives and discuss anti-Sikh violence and other issues. Click here to learn more about our efforts. Through projects such as these, we strive to spread awareness of the post 9/11 backlash faced by the Sikh community, and work towards creating a safer, more tolerant world. Our efforts to combat prejudice extend globally. If you are a victim of racial, ethnic, or religious-based violence, contact Law-usa@unitedsikhs.org. |

"From next Friday (September 18) the documents will be open for the public, they will be kept at the city police archive," said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee on Friday announced the declassification of 64 files on Netaji Subash Chandra Bose which were lying with the West Bengal police all these years. "The files will be put on the public domain from next Friday," she said. She also announced that the files dating back to the years from 1937 to 1947 would be digitized.
Addressing the media, the chief minister said that the files would be displayed in the Kolkata police Museum from Friday and would be open for the public. All 64 secret files those are with West Bengal government would be transferred to the Kolkata Police Archive.
"We want to maintain transparency and accountability. People must know about Netaji. He was a national icon. We know Netaji's date of birth. We have no idea about his death. People deserve to know about his last days," Mamata Banerjee said.
The sudden announcement came as a big surprise in political circles as well as in the Netaji family. Krishna Bose, the former Trinamool Congress MP and a Netaji family member said initially that she had no idea about the announcement. But later, she said: "It is a good decision. For over 70 years these files were hidden. People wanted to know about Netaji and the mystery of his disappearance.This will surely be a direction to the central government," she added. She howevere, felt that these files may not answer the real questions about Netaji's disappearance. These files are likely to be dealing with the police agents shadowing Netaji while he lived in Kolkata, Krishna Bose said.
Chandra Bose, another Netaji kin who had been demanding for long for declassification of the Netaji files said: "Mamata Banerjee has finally responded to our demands. We had written 5/6 letters to the chief ministers and many more to the prime minister. Mamata Banerjee has responded to the people's demand for information on Netaji."
He went on to add that the family demands declassification of another 135 files lying with the central government, declassification of KGB files and those with the British Intelligence. "We have filed an RTI with the British government too and they have responded saying that they are scrutinizing the files." Chandra Bose said that this move would certainly put pressure on the central government.
Debabrata Biswas – a leader of the Forward Bloc said said that the party welcomes the move of the state government but it demands the total declassification of all Netaji files. These files may not answer the mystery of Netaji's disappearance, he said.

Amarpartap DhillonReally sad. Wen will the VIP culture in India come to an end. We thought Modi will bring change but he is no different. So many man hours wasted by shutting down schools, offices. All major services hit. Even crematoriums not spared. Where is this nation heading to. Did PMO not know about these developments beforehand on what Chandigarh administration was doing and couldn't they have averted this. PM has visited so many nations by now, he should learn how politicians in other countries live and travel. Star attraction was Kirron Kher who visited her constituency after such a long time.
