From India Pacer to Minister: Ashok Dinda Begins New Innings as Bengal Sports Minister
The political change in West Bengal has a cricket connection also. Former India pacer Ashok Dinda emerged victorious in the Assembly elections again in Moyna, his birthplace (by 16,241 votes) after his maiden victory in 2021 (by 1260 votes). He donned the India cap in 13 ODIs and 9 T20Is with 12 and 17 wickets, respectively. He took at least one wicket in each of nine T20Is he played, with a career-best 4 for 19 coming in a handsome victory against Sri Lanka in Kandy in 2012. Ashok Dinda is yet to forget all his detractors, who had ridiculed him following an unceremonious ouster from the Bengal team just before the start of the 2019-20 Kanji Trophy. In recent times, he also served as one of the coaches in the Cricket Association of Bengals Vision Project but now has some added responsibility in the states sporting arena, as he has been appointed as the new sports minister of West Bengal. Ashok Dinda had joined politics after ending his playing career in 2021, ahead of the Assembly elections. Incidentally, on the same day, India cricketer Manoj Tiwary joined Trinamool Congress (TMC) and, after his win, was appointed West Bengal's New Sports Minister, although an active cricketer and captained Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. Now Ashok Dinda holds the same portfolio. West Bengal will have another cricketer as their Sports Minister as Manojs predecessor in the ministry was Laxmi Ratan Shukla, another familiar name in Indian cricket. In cricket, Ashok Dinda shall always be remembered as a forgotten star who deserved a Test cap. He was part of KKR in 2008 and played 78 IPL games for five different franchises, claiming 69 wickets at an expensive bowling average of 30+ and higher economy rates. After being with KKR between 2008 and 2010, he got a one-year stint at Delhi Daredevils in 2011 before switching to Pune Warriors India in 2012. Ashok Dinda stayed with that franchise until their dissolution in 2013. In 2014, he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for a two-year stint and ended with the final two-year stretch with Rising Pune SuperGiant in 2016 and 2017. He remains one of the most successful fast bowlers in domestic red-ball cricket as he picked up 420 wickets in just 196 innings. In the Ranji Trophy, he was a stalwart for Bengal, grabbing 339 wickets. Among pacers, only R Vinay Kumar, Pankaj Singh, Basant Mohanty, Madan Lal and Ashish Winston Zaidi had more wickets than Dinda in the Ranji Trophy. His domestic show opened the door for white-ball internationals between 2009 and 2013, but Test cricket opportunity eluded him. Born on March 25, 1984 in Kolkata, Dinda had a powerful and complex bowling action and made his first-class debut in 2005. The right-arm speedster made his India debut in December 2009 in a T20I against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. He continued to play first-class cricket until 2019, featuring 116 of them with the last fixture in 2021. He also took 151 wickets in 98 List A games at an average of 28.50. In 2020, Ashok Dinda left Bengal for Goa but played only one season for his new team before retiring in February 2021. Incidentally, most of the cricketers joining politics recently have some Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) connection. Gautam Gambhir is the leader of the pack and is joined by Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Manoj Tiwary, Ashok Dinda and Yusuf Pathan. A very popular story related to Ashok Dinda is his encounter with Sachin Tendulkar in the Ranji Trophy final between Bengal and Mumbai in 2007. The bowlers in domestic cricket never thought of sledding the Master Blaster but the young Ashoke Dinda glared at Tendulkar after hitting him on the elbow. Deep Dasgupta, the captain of Bengal at the time, had already advised him, 'With Sachin, you just come and bowl' but Dinda had the habit that whenever he would beat the batter, he would just take 2-3 extra steps in his follow-throw and glare at him. Deep categorically told him again, 'Don't say anything to Sachin but Dinda didnt listen to his captain. He stared at Sachin after a few deliveries, and Sachin eventually scored a hundred (105). Mumbai won the match by 132 runs. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Now Ashok Dinda has a new challenge in front of him. I come from a sports background, not politics. Representing India was a matter of pride. But politics is also about serving people, living among them, and helping them. Its a blessing, a gift from God. Not everyone gets this opportunity. Many people have wealth, but they dont get the chance to serve. Helping someone get hospital care, supporting families who cant afford medicine, that is something truly meaningful, he says.
Teenage student dies, 3 others injured in Anantnag seminary blaze
Anantnag, May 12: A teenage student dies while three others were injured after a fire broke out at a seminary in the Old MattanAdda area of Anantnag town on Monday night, officials said. The fire erupted around 1:30 am at Faizan Baba Hyder Reshi Darul Uloom, triggering panic among students residing in the building. Fire and Emergency Services personnel, assisted by locals, rushed to the spot and launched a rescue and firefighting operation. Several students were evacuated from the premises, preventing a larger tragedy, officials said. Four students sustained burn injuries and were shifted to Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag for treatment. One of the injured students, identified as Bilal Ahmad, 15, son of Muhammad Akbar of Choidraman village of Warwan Valley in Kishtwar district, later succumbed to his injuries, officials said. The injured were identified as SabitFayaz and Sahil Ahmad, both residents of Sangaldan, Ramban, and Irfan Ahmad of Pahalgam. Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the injured students was stable. Deputy Commissioner (DC) Anantnag Bilal Mohi-ud-Din Bhat and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) AnantnagAmod Ashok Nagpure visited the site of the incident and later met the injured students at the hospital. Leaders of various political parties and religious scholars, including Maulana Abdul Rashid Dawoodi also visited to express solidarity with the families of the deceased and injured. Police registered a case and started an investigation to ascertain the cause of the fire. Officials suspect the blaze may have been caused by a short circuit and spread rapidly due to cooking gas cylinders inside the building. Eyewitnesses said the fire appeared to start from the rooftop portion of the structure and quickly engulfed the upper floor because the building was largely made of wood. The students ran out in panic, but some got trapped in the flames and sustained burn injuries, an eyewitness said. The incident triggered grief and panic among students, residents and the seminary administration. Locals gathered at the site through the night as rescue teams battled the flames. Officials said more than 40 students, most from remote areas, were staying at the seminary hostel facility. Meanwhile, in the wake of the incident, the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Anantnag sought a safety audit of all DarulUlooms and other residential facilities housing children in the district. In an order issued by the committee's Chairperson to the Deputy Commissioner Anantnag, the CWC stated it observed that from last year fire and other incidents are frequently occurring in such facilities which need immediate and concrete intervention to safeguard the lives of children. Referring to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the committee said, All measures shall be taken to ensure that the child is safe and is not subjected to any harm. Keeping in view the present circumstances and provisions of JJ Act 2015, it is requested that a committee may be framed to conduct the safety audit of such facilities in the best interest of children and directions may be passed to take necessary steps and measures to ensure the safety of children, the order reads. The order, issued under No 720-23/CWC/Ang/2026 dated May 12, was also forwarded to the Mission Director, Mission Vatsalya J&K (UT), and the District Child Protection Officer (DCPO) Anantnag.

The figures were shared during a press conference addressed by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anantnag Amod Ashok Nagpure, who was accompanied by senior police officers, including the Superintendent of Police (SP) and Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP). Nagpure said more than 300 kilograms of contraband substances were seized during multiple operations conducted across the district over the past month. Properties worth around Rs 10 crore were attached in 14 cases under legal provisions related to assets allegedly acquired through drug trafficking, he said. In a separate action, police demolished two properties valued at nearly Rs 3.5 crore, allegedly linked to proceeds from the narcotics trade, the SSP said. He said police also destroyed illegal narcotic cultivation spread over nearly 300 marlas of land during the drive as part of efforts to dismantle drug networks at the grassroots level.

During the crackdown, police arrested one female drug peddler and two women accused of cultivating narcotic crops. Two government employees were also found involved in drug-related cases, and legal action has been initiated against them, he said. The SSP said police cancelled 13 driving licences and nine vehicle registration certificates in coordination with the concerned authorities in connection with narcotics-related offences. To prevent repeat offences and curb the activities of habitual offenders, police invoked preventive detention laws against 119 alleged drug peddlers during the month, he said. Nagpure said police conducted 80 narcotics-related cordon and search operations across the district. Joint inspection teams comprising police and officials from concerned departments inspected 45 medical shops across Anantnag district and detected 15 violations, following which legal action was initiated against the violators, he added.

Other notable dignitaries who attended the book launch included Sripad BV Vishnu Daivata Maharaja, Senior Sanyasi from Gaudiya Math; Nirmala Samant, Social Activist and Former Mayor of Mumbai; and Radhika Radia, Media Professional and Mythologist, Umesh Rathod, Innovation Manager for AICTE, Ministry of Education, GOI. Aditya Chatterjee: Ad Factors PR, Writer & Author Evolution of Gods. Pratap Menon, Director at Marshalls Wallcoverings. Secrets of the Universe Revealed through Hindu Gods, Symbols, Signs & Sounds explores the deeper meaning and astro-scientific insights behind the symbolic depictions of Hindu deities and traditions. Through thoughtful interpretation and research, the book suggests that ancient seers used gods, sounds, and symbols as a sophisticated language to communicate universal laws and cosmic principles. The book examines the symbolism of deities such as Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Gayatri, and Durga, connecting their attributes and forms with ideas from cosmology, astronomy, philosophy, and humanitys evolving relationship with the universe. Written especially for Gen Z readers and parents of Gen Alpha, the book encourages young audiences to engage with traditional knowledge systems through both curiosity and rational inquiry, presenting ancient wisdom in a fresh and accessible manner. Sharing his views on the book launch, Chief Guest Dr. SS Mantha, Chancellor, Nagpur University , said, " This book is my attempt to decode the secrets of the universe through simple signs, symbols, and sounds, rooted in a philosophical framework that has evolved over millions of years. It brings together science, spirituality, and cosmology into one unified vision, where the universe is not random, but a conscious, vibrating reality. From the resonance of Om to the rhythms that govern both the Earth and the human body, the idea is simple yet profound, that the universe exists within us as much as we exist within it. Through awareness, reflection, and deeper understanding, these truths are not distant, they are present in every moment, waiting to be discovered . Speaking at the launch, Actress Madhoo Shah said, " I came for the book launch because something within me said I needed to. My journey has always been about understanding life beyond rituals, about discovering the meaning behind the mantras and the science within our traditions. When you begin to understand what youre truly praying for, it transforms the experience completely. This book feels like a step closer to that clarity, and for me, being here today has been deeply personal and enriching . Further adding to this, Mickey Mehta, Wellness Expert said, This book beautifully bridges spirituality and science by decoding symbols as expressions of energy and consciousness. As someone who practices yoga, I resonate deeply with the idea that symbols, geometry, and forms are powerful tools that communicate subtle energies and influence the subconscious mind. It is fascinating how ancient wisdom from Vastu to yogic philosophy has always used symbols to create balance and harmony. This work will play an important role in helping the next generation understand and connect with our traditions in a more scientific and meaningful way . Speaking at the launch Social influencer & Blogger, Social Work & Brand Strategist Nisha JamVwal said, " For me, Hinduism is not just a religion, but a deeply layered philosophy of life that has stood the test of time. It is a journey that continues to offer meaning, resilience, and perspective through every phase of life. Books like this are important because they encourage us to question, learn, and engage more deeply with our roots, so we can understand, preserve, and share the richness of our civilization with the world ." Speaking at the launch AP Jayaram Nuclear Scientist, BARC, President STEAM Academy, Principal Scientific Advisor, Nehru Group of Institutions & Director CIIA said," We often move through life without fully understanding where we come from or what it all truly means for us. The universe, however, is constantly communicating through signs and symbols, if only we choose to be aware. When we begin to notice and interpret these, life becomes far more meaningful and simple. I look forward to sharing this book with our student community, so together we can explore these ideas and deepen our understanding . Sharing his thoughts, Baldevkrishan Sharma said, " This book comes from a place of deep curiosity and responsibility. Ive always felt that our gods and symbols were never meant to be taken only as stories, but as powerful ways to explain the universe and our place within it. Through this work, Ive tried to simplify those complex cosmic ideas so that especially the younger generation can connect with them logically, without losing the sense of faith and wonder. For me, this is not just a book, its a journey to rediscover meaning in what we have always believed ." The event brought together an engaged audience, sparking conversations around the relevance of ancient knowledge in todays scientific and evolving world. About the Author Baldevkrishan Sharma is a researcher in cosmology and an award-winning innovator who has spent decades exploring the relationship between ancient knowledge systems and modern scientific thought. A recipient of the Rashtrapati Award for innovation, Sharma has dedicated his work to interpreting the symbolic wisdom embedded in Indian traditions and presenting it in ways that resonate with contemporary audiences.
