G20 Tamasha Failed to Change US Outlook on J&K: Omar Abdullah
Srinagar: Former chief minister and opposition National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah said on Thursday that the G-20 tourism working group meeting and related events held in Srinagar in May last year have failed to change the outside worlds outlook on Jammu and Kashmir. For all the talk of normalcy, peace, tourism & the G-20 tamasha in Srinagar, J&K continues to be the target of US State Department travel advisories. The Modi government has been able to change nothing, he wrote on X. Mr. Abdullah was reacting to the US Department of States urging the American nationals to avoid altogether travelling to certain parts of India including J&K in its updated travel advisory. In asking US citizens to not visit Jammu and Kashmir, the advisory points to terrorist attacks' and violent civil unrest, as well as sporadic violence between the Indian and Pakistani forces along the Line of Control (LoC) So much for naya J&K, the former chief minister said. The Centre as well as the J&K administration headed by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has been claiming that the G-20 events held in Srinagar changed the outside worlds outlook on J&K and there has been a significant increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting the scenic region since. Mr. Sinha recently said, The successful G-20 summit helped give J&K a global push. The participants of 27 countries in the G-20 tourism working group meeting held in Srinagar, sent out a positive message about this place. Endorsing him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told a public meeting in Jammu on February 20 this year, During my visits abroad I found there is positivity about the development taking place here in J&K post-Article 370 abrogation. The G20 events held in the region stirred a lot of enthusiasm in the whole world and everyone wants to visit this place. However, the updated US travel advisory, released on July 23, asks American nationals to avoid altogether J&K, the India-Pakistan border, portions of central and East India, and Manipur. Regarding J&K, the advisory points to terrorist attacks' and violent civil unrest, as well as sporadic violence between the Indian and Pakistani forces along the LoC. However, it says that visiting the Union Territory of Ladakh is safe. It says, Do not travel to: The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict; portions of Central and East India due to terrorism and Manipur due to violence and crime. Overall, India has been placed at Level 2 in the updated US travel advisory. But several parts of the country including J&K, India-Pakistan border, Manipur and parts of Central and East India have been placed on Level 4. The J&K authorities and also tourism stakeholders have been lobbying with foreign countries including the US and Britain to get the travel advisories issued during the heyday of insurgency in the erstwhile state and updated from time to time to caution their respective nationals against visiting Kashmir lifted. Germany withdrew such adverse travel advisory in 2011 in view of the situation calming down considerably and foreigners generally not being direct targets of clashes. Since Germany has been officially recommending its citizens to travel to Kashmir and its government had several years ago offered to work towards changing the negative perception created about the safety of tourists while visiting the Valley.

'MP detained under NSA an emergency': Channi's reference to Amritpal Singh triggers row in LS
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi said Thursday that the detention of an elected MP under the NSA was part of an undeclared emergency by the Centre, drawing a sharp response from the BJP who said he was referring to jailed radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh. During a debate in Lok Sabha, the former Punjab chief minister referred to the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections and said, This is also an emergency that a Member of Parliament elected by 20 lakh people in Punjab has been detained under the NSA (National Security Act) ...He is unable to speak about his constituency here (in Parliament).This is also an emergency. While Channi did not name anyone, BJP leaders said he was speaking about Amritpal Singh. Singh won the Khadoor Sahib constituency by a margin of around 2 lakh votes in this year's Lok Sabha polls. Radical preacher Amritpal Singh and son of Indira Gandhi's assassin win LS polls as Independents In a post on X, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the Congress must answer whether the party was in support of the idea of Khalistan that led to the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984. Batting for separatist who wants tukde tukde of India? Rahul ji must answer - the idea of Khalistan that caused the assassination of PM Indira ji is being hailed !! Why does Congress always bat for separatists and terrorists? Yakub, Afzal, 26/11 jihadis, now K terrorists? he said. Union minister Giriraj Singh said Congress MP Channi's remarks made inside Parliament were unfortunate. The Khalistani who assassinated Indira Gandhi has received open support from Channi today, which means the Congress is siding with the Khalistanis. This is an attack on the integrity of India...what can I say, I will say action should be taken, he told PTI videos. BJP MP Dinesh Sharma demanded the expulsion of Channi by Congress. Today, Channi, who doesn't even have the status of a 'chavanni' (a quarter-rupee coin), is speaking in support of terrorists and glorifying them. He is working at the behest of anti-national elements from Canada, he told PTI Videos. The Congress should expel him, and if Congress doesn't take action against him, it means that somewhere Congress is in cahoots with these anti-social and anti-national elements, he said. Channi blamed the central government for an undeclared emergency in the country even as a heated exchange with BJP's Ravneet Singh Bittu during a debate in the Lok Sabha led to a brief adjournment in the proceedings. During a debate on the Union Budget in the Lower House, Channi also held the BJP government responsible for farmers being termed Khalistanis. He added that his home state Punjab was ignored in this year's budget. Channi said, It's not a budget to save the country, it's just to save their government.They haven't addressed the floods in Punjab, haven't raised wages, and have ignored Punjab in this budget.Jalandhar was declared a smart city, but it still has dirty water and a significant drug problem. The Lok Sabha was adjourned for 30 minutes amid a verbal spat between the former Punjab chief minister and the Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries Ravneet Singh Bittu over certain personal remarks till 2 pm. Channi referred to the assassination of Bittu's grandfather, former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. This led to a war of words between Bittu, who recently quit the Congress to join the BJP, and Channi. Bittu countered by making certain personal remarks against Channi and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, triggering an uproar. In a heated exchange, Channi told Bittu, Your grandfather became a martyr, the day you left Congress. To which, the BJP leader retorted, My grandfather sacrificed for the country, not for Congress. He also called Channi he most corrupt person in Punjab. During his address to the Lok Sabha, Channi accused the government of creating conditions similar to an emergency. He listed the lack of progress in the Sidhu Moosewala case, action against opposition leaders by central agencies, and alleged mistreatment of farmers, women athletes, and journalists as evidence of this. The Congress leader also pointed to the long-standing unrest in Manipur and the Hathras gang rape case, in which he said the victim's cremation was rushed. The country is facing an undeclared emergency and the BJP is responsible, Channi said. Farmers are called Khalistani when they make demands, which aren't fulfilled.This is also an emergency, he added. The central government, he said, has exhausted its ideas and sincerity after ten years in power, pointing to the absence of the prime minister and the finance minister during such an important discussion. Their seats are empty. They need to explain the budget, but no one is here. This is your sincerity? he asked. Channi said, I come from a poor family and got my education thanks to the Congress government. The BJP's worst move in 2014 was cutting scholarships for minorities and Dalit children. Slamming the depreciation of the rupee, Channi claimed, The dollar's value increased by Rs 25 in ten years, whereas during (ex-PM) Manmohan Singh's time, it only increased by Rs 13 in ten years. Sometimes, it feels like there's a competition between the rupee and the government to see which falls faster. The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice in the post-lunch period as a war of words broke out between the treasury and opposition benches, triggered by Channi's spat with Bittu.

52 lactation management centres in India, most in Tamil Nadu
NEW DELHI: India currently has 52 comprehensive lactation management centres (CLMC) equipped to provide safe and pasteurized donor human milk to preterm, premature, low birth weight, and sick babies, the Rajya Sabha was informed. According to Union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi, 19 of the 52 lactation management units (CLMC) in India are located in Tamil Nadu. Additionally, Tamil Nadu houses 20 of the 49 lactation management units (LMUs) in the country, the minister said in a written reply in response to a question by Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday. Devi said the central government had established CLMC to ensure the availability of safe, pasteurized donor human milk and LMU to facilitate the expression of mothers own milk for feeding of sick, preterm and low birth weight babies admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Special Newborn Care Units. These comprehensive lactation management centres (CLMCs) are not just facilities, but lifelines for our most vulnerable infants. They play a crucial role in addressing these infants nutritional and developmental needs, ensuring they receive the essential nourishment required for healthy growth and development. The minister underscored the governments commitment to supporting working mothers. To facilitate their ability to give due care and protection to their children, the ministry has introduced the Palna sub-scheme under Mission Shakti for all states and UTs from April 1, 2022. This scheme provides daycare facilities and protection to children, thereby enabling mothers to participate more fully in the workforce. Palna is a centrally sponsored scheme that ensures the state governments participation in its day-to-day monitoring and proper implementation. Under the Palna sub-scheme, the ministry has extended free services of childcare through Anganwadi cum Crche (AWCC). The minister said this initiative is a testament to the governments commitment to providing whole-day childcare support, ensuring childrens well-being in a safe and secure environment. The ministry has approved 5,631 AWCCs in the country. A total of 1428 government-aided standalone creches and 735 Anganwadi-cum-Creches are operational in the country, the minister added. Kerala, at 266, has the highest number of standalone creches in the country. It is followed by Manipur (214), Karnataka (170), Haryana (165), Punjab (143), Tamil Nadu (141), and Tripura (114). Mizoram has the highest number of AWCC at 176, followed by Karnataka at 164. They are followed by Nagaland (94), Chandigarh (89), Delhi (57), and Meghalaya (48). The initiative aims to increase womens workforce participation in the economy. The objective of Palna component is to provide quality creche facility in a safe and secure environment for children (from ages six months - 6 years), nutritional support, health and cognitive development of children, growth monitoring, immunization and pre-primary education, she said.
US revises travel advisory for India: Avoid Manipur, J&K, India-Pak border, and Central & East India
WASHINGTON: The US has asked its nationals not to travel to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir, the India-Pakistan border, and parts of central and eastern parts of the country where Naxalites are active. In a revised travel advisory for India, the State Department said it has updated to reflect information on the northeastern states. Exercise increased caution in India due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk, it said. Overall India has been placed at Level 2. But several parts of the country have been placed on Level 4: Jammu and Kashmir, India-Pak border, Manipur and parts of Central and East India. Do not travel to: The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict; portions of Central and East India due to terrorism and Manipur due to violence and crime, said the State Department. In addition, it recommended Americans to reconsider travel to the northeastern states due to terrorism and violence. Indian authorities report that rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India. Violent crime, such as sexual assault, has happened at tourist sites and other locations. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning. They target tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and government facilities, the travel advisory said. The US government has limited ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in rural areas. These areas stretch from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal. The US government employees must get special authorization to travel to these areas, it said. Placing Manipur at Level 4: Do Not Travel, the State Department said: Do not travel to Manipur due to the threat of violence and crime. Ongoing ethnic-based civil conflict has resulted in reports of extensive violence and community displacement. Attacks against Indian government targets occur on a regular basis. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting Manipur. Similarly, terrorist attacks and violent civil unrest are possible in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Do not travel to this state (with the exception of visits to the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh). Violence happens sporadically in this area and is common along the Line of Control (LOC) between India and Pakistan. It also occurs in tourist spots in the Kashmir Valley: Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam. The Indian government does not allow foreign tourists to visit certain areas along the LOC, it said. India and Pakistan have a strong military presence on both sides of the border. The only official border crossing for non-citizens of India or Pakistan is in Punjab. It is between Attari, India, and Wagah, Pakistan. The border crossing is usually open, but check its current status before you travel. To enter Pakistan, you need a Pakistani visa. Only US citizens residing in India may apply for a Pakistani visa in India. Otherwise, apply for a Pakistani visa in your home country before traveling to India, it said. Maoist extremist groups, or Naxalites, are active in a large area of India that spans from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal, the advisory said. Attacks against officers of the Indian government continue to occur sporadically in the rural parts of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand that border Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha. Southwest areas of Odisha are also affected. The Naxalites have carried out many terrorist attacks, targeting local police, paramilitary forces, and government officials, it said. Due to the fluid nature of the threat, US government employees are required to obtain permission prior to traveling to most areas in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and Odisha. Permission is not required if employees are traveling only to the capital cities of these states. US government employees also need approval to travel to the eastern region of Maharashtra and the eastern region of Madhya Pradesh, the advisory said. In addition, Northeastern States has been given - Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Ethnic insurgent groups occasionally commit acts of violence in parts of the northeast. These incidents include bombings of buses, trains, rail lines, and markets. There have been no recent reports of violence in Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Sikkim, or Tripura, it said. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting the states of Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as when visiting any areas outside of the capital cities of Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Tripura, it said.

INDIA alliance leaders back Jagans protest
VIJAYAWADA / NEW DELHI: In a move that triggered speculation that the INDI Alliance partners are trying to take the YSRC into their fold, a host of INDI Alliance parties, barring the Congress extended their support to the protest organised by the YSRC against the TDP-led Andhra Pradesh government in New Delhi on Tuesday. However, YSRC chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy did not make any announcement in this regard. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav was the first to attend the protest and strongly condemned the ongoing violence against YSRC workers perpetrated by TDP supporters. Shiv Sena (UBT), AIADMK and Trinamool Congress leaders also extended their support to Jagan. Condemning the violence, Akhilesh Yadav expressed his gratitude to Jagan for inviting him to the protest. Without the invitation, I would not have been aware of the severe state of violence occurring in Andhra Pradesh. The TDPs actions are an attempt to instill fear among the people of Andhra Pradesh by targeting YSRC workers, he alleged. Former CM and YSRC president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy leads a protest of the party against the AP government in New Delhi on Wednesday. Jagan lashes out at Red Book regime in State Akhilesh Yadav urged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to take stern measures to halt the violence and ensure the safety and security of all political workers and people in the State. Speaking at the protest, Jagan said Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a series of unprecedented atrocities under the TDP government in the last 45 days. The rule of law has been blatantly disregarded, and the administration has indulged in acts that can be described as nothing short of tyrannical, he alleged. Leaders and workers of the ruling party, with their barbarism, are causing widespread fear among the people of the State. The targeted violence and harassment faced by YSRC sympathisers is not just an attack on a political party but an attack on democracy itself, he said. Jagan said, The self-styled Red Book governance has been unleashed by the TDP, and policing has been made ineffective. Worse still is the registering of false cases against the victims, thus plunging the State into lawlessness. I call upon every citizen of the country to raise their voice against these atrocities and demand accountability from those in power. We must ensure that justice prevails and that the TDP government and Naidu are held accountable for their actions, he said. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticised the TDP government for the continuous violence against YSRC workers, and called for a detailed investigation by the Centre. Another MP of the party Arvind Sawant said, If the violence continues, AP will soon become the next Manipur. Rajya Sabha MP and AIADMK leader M Thambidurai lashed out at the TDP-led NDA government, and urged Naidu to take serious measures against TDP goons and put an end to the atrocities. TMC MP Nadimul Haque expressed his anger against the Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh government over the continuous violence in the State.

US Revises Travel Advisory for India: Avoid Manipur, J&K, India-Pak Border and Naxalite Areas
Washington : The US has asked its nationals not to travel to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir, the India-Pakistan border, and parts of central and eastern parts of the country where Naxalites are active. In a revised travel advisory for India, the State Department said it has updated to reflect information on the northeastern states. Exercise increased caution in India due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk, it said. Overall India has been placed at Level 2. But several parts of the country have been placed on Level 4: Jammu and Kashmir, the India-Pak border, Manipur and parts of Central and East India. Do not travel to: The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict; portions of Central and East India due to terrorism and Manipur due to violence and crime, said the State Department. In addition, it recommended Americans to reconsider travel to the northeastern states due to terrorism and violence. Indian authorities report that rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India. Violent crime, such as sexual assault, has happened at tourist sites and other locations. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning. They target tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and government facilities, the travel advisory said. The US government has limited ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in rural areas. These areas stretch from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal. The US government employees must get special authorization to travel to these areas, it said. Placing Manipur at Level 4: Do Not Travel, the State Department said: Do not travel to Manipur due to the threat of violence and crime. Ongoing ethnic-based civil conflict has resulted in reports of extensive violence and community displacement. Attacks against Indian government targets occur on a regular basis. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting Manipur. Similarly, terrorist attacks and violent civil unrest are possible in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Do not travel to this state (with the exception of visits to the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh). Violence happens sporadically in this area and is common along the Line of Control (LOC) between India and Pakistan. It also occurs in tourist spots in the Kashmir Valley: Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam. The Indian government does not allow foreign tourists to visit certain areas along the LOC, it said. India and Pakistan have a strong military presence on both sides of the border. The only official border crossing for non-citizens of India or Pakistan is in Punjab. It is between Attari, India, and Wagah, Pakistan. The border crossing is usually open, but check its current status before you travel. To enter Pakistan, you need a Pakistani visa. Only US citizens residing in India may apply for a Pakistani visa in India. Otherwise, apply for a Pakistani visa in your home country before traveling to India, it said. Maoist extremist groups, or Naxalites, are active in a large area of India that spans from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal, the advisory said. Attacks against officers of the Indian government continue to occur sporadically in the rural parts of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand that border Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha. Southwest areas of Odisha are also affected. The Naxalites have carried out many terrorist attacks, targeting local police, paramilitary forces, and government officials, it said. Due to the fluid nature of the threat, US government employees are required to obtain permission prior to traveling to most areas in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and Odisha. Permission is not required if employees are traveling only to the capital cities of these states. US government employees also need approval to travel to the eastern region of Maharashtra and the eastern region of Madhya Pradesh, the advisory said. In addition, Northeastern States has been given - Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Ethnic insurgent groups occasionally commit acts of violence in parts of the northeast. These incidents include bombings of buses, trains, rail lines, and markets. There have been no recent reports of violence in Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Sikkim, or Tripura, it said. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting the states of Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as when visiting any areas outside of the capital cities of Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Tripura, it said.
The Manipur High Court directed the withdrawal of long-pending criminal cases against three former Mizo National Front (MNF) cadres. These cases, dating back to 1984, were supposed to be withdrawn under the 1986 Mizo Peace Accord. The court ruled that there was no record that limited the settlement to Mizoram, contradicting the Manipur governments argument. The Union and State Governments were instructed to withdraw the prosecution within three months. The petitioners had been arrested for a robbery in Manipur in 1984 and had been out on bail since shortly after their arrest.

Shahu Patole challenges food, caste norms in Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada
CHENNAI : Anna He Apoorna Brahma, declares Shahu Patole in the title of his thought-provoking book, challenging the conventional wisdom, Anna He Poorna Brahma that food is the complete truth. Food is an incomplete reality. At least in India where food habits and caste cannot be separated. Just as caste is cemented at birth, so is diet, writes Shahu. His work in Marathi was recently translated by Bhushan Korgaonkar as Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada. Published by HarperCollins Publishers India, it delves into the nuances of Dalit food culture in Maharashtra, particularly focusing on Mahar and Mang castes. Food culture has become a part of politics, and democratically elected governments are also participating in it, shares Shahu. The author confronts prevailing stereotypes surrounding vegetarianism in India, stating that dietary choices have been historically weaponised to reinforce social divisions. He says, I proudly declare that I am a pure non-vegetarian Hindu following our traditions and culture. Things that are imposed or copied often need publicity and propaganda vegetarianism. Non-vegetarian people never have to publicise the importance of being non-vegetarian, as its an integral part of our food culture. His approach is deeply personal, rooted in his upbringing and memories. Everything I have mentioned in the book is based on my lived experience, he reflects, emphasising the authenticity and firsthand nature of his accounts. The blue colour book cover, illustrated by Shrujana Niranjini Shridhar, intricately weaves together elements discussed within its pages from the essential ingredients like meat, onion, and garlic, to the scenes of women preparing meals and children savouring them. Its a visual preface that encapsulates the essence of the narrative within. Bhushan Korgaonkar About her intention behind the design, Shrujana explains, I wanted to normalise ingredients like the cogulated blood or the meat since there have been so many attempts to demonise meat-eating cultures. I knew that along with the food, the people who make and eat this food complete are the most important of the culture. The book also documents daily practices, ingredients, farming, fuels, utensils, measurements, wedding traditions and meals, specific parts of animals used for cooking, folktales, postnatal diets, food prepared for funerals, the 1972 famine and its impact on the rural food culture of Marathwada. Emphasising that preserving all this information is necessary, he writes in the book, Because of my sin of writing this book I dont know in which form I will be born in the next birth. However, may such literary sins continue to be committed relentessly. Excerpts from an interview with Shahu Patole What was the primary idea behind writing this book? I felt compelled to write this book because I couldnt find any references or direct mentions of our food culture in any old or new religious or social literature. The Bhagavad Gita, the Dnyaneshwari, and the literature of Vaishnav saints talk about three categories of diet: Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. Our food is categorised as Tamasic, but it is not described in detail anywhere. So, I decided to explore its roots. Although this is not my area of expertise, I started looking for answers to these questions. The reader will be the best judge of whether I have been successful in this endeavour. You have mentioned in the book that your siblings didnt like you writing the book in great detail. How challenging was that? It wasnt just my siblings; many of my relatives and community members didnt like what I wrote in this book. They still dont. However, my siblings have now started to understand the intention and perspective behind it, so they have begun to support it. I never faced any significant challenges because I never wrote anything untrue. Also, I am quite capable of engaging in intellectual arguments with anyone. Your book was first published in 2015 in Marathi. Why did it take so long for the translation to be published? All three publishers of my Marathi book are Brahmins. They knew it was risky but they still went ahead and published my book. This could only happen in the progressive state of Maharashtra. Everyone knows who owns or heads the top positions in the leading publishing houses of India and which castes and classes they belong to. The answer to your question lies in this data. Shrujana Niranjini Shridhar You also talk about other castes, subcastes, the disappearance of castes like Kure Mang and independent code languages. Do you think they also wanted to protect their recipes? Vedas were transmitted from one generation to another through oral tradition. The same thing happened with Dalit food culture. When the British established their control over our country, they brought the education system, industrialisation, law, order, and administration. This began to shake the centuries-old Indian village economy. The British also introduced foreign food items, but still, the non-vegetarian components and some of the main ingredients in our plates continued to exist. Over time, some of the dishes disappeared gradually and organically, and a few new ones were added due to social changes. The same thing happened with our code languages. Additionally, our languages never had a script, which may also be one of the reasons for their disappearance. What are you currently working on? I have three other books published in Marathi. One is about my memoirs of the Bharat Jodo cycle rally started by Baba Amte. Another is about my experiences living in Nagaland for work, and the last one is a collection of articles. I am currently writing a book on Manipur, and another collection of articles is on its way to being published. Excerpts from an interview with Bhushan Korgaonkar The book has a rich vocabulary of farming and cooking. How difficult was it to translate? It was challenging in many ways. Firstly, I wasnt well versed with the food culture of this region as I was born and raised in Mumbai. My parents are from Konkan and Goa, so even my vacations or other travels rarely took me to Marathwada. Secondly, I had never seen the equipment, processes, and customs described in the book. To overcome these difficulties, I spent time with Shahu and his family in his village, observed most things firsthand and then started working on the book. You mention a curated session where Shahu Patole shared his food experiences, and actor Nandita Patkar read excerpts from the book. Could you elaborate on this event? When I read the book, I realised how important and unique it is. We occasionally curate sessions at Kala Studio at Khar and Piroja Studio at Vile Parle in Mumbai, where we invite artistes from different walks of life to share their experiences. I thought that this book must be brought to our sessions and discussed. So, I curated a 90-minute session where actor Nandita Patkar read out excerpts from the book, and I interviewed Shahu Patole about his experiences. He also sang a few songs, and the session saw a full house. We were also invited by Asakta in Pune to repeat this session as part of their activities. I am happy to share that talks are ongoing with a studio in Bandra, Mumbai, and we may repeat this session soon with Nandita and Shahu in English, Hindi and Marathi. As a translator and a reader, what made the book different for you? As a translator, the part I enjoyed the most was working on the rooted Marathi proverbs, sayings, and a folk song. It was difficult to convey these elements in a different culture, but I tried my best to maintain the essence and the lyricality. I have received some positive feedback about this, so I am happy that people are admiring it. What I liked about the book was the sense of humour. Yes, it is about poverty, deprivation and social injustice. The writer also mentions how people from this community used humour in tamasha and other art forms to crack jokes about their own condition. This resilience and ability to find humour in difficult situations stood out to me and added a unique dimension to the book. Any additional thoughts? I believe more writers should come forward and start writing about their memoirs, especially those from marginalised communities. We often read and hear success stories and inspirational tales from the haves, but the experiences and perspectives of those from marginalised backgrounds are equally important and can provide valuable insights into our past, present, and the ideal way forward.

Ignored plight of Manipur amidst flood, violence in Union Budget: Congress
The opposition Congress in Manipur on Tuesday criticised the BJP-led government at the Centre, alleging that it ignored the plight of the state, which not only suffered a major flood but also bore the brunt of ethnic violence, in the Union Budget. State Congress president K Meghachandra alleged that there was a partisan approach in the Budget. There was a partiality in the budget. The entire Northeast was not taken care of. Manipur was once again neglected. While flood-hit Assam was mentioned, Manipur that witnessed a catastrophic hailstorm and two of the worst floods in more than 20 years was not, he said. Not providing any aid to more than 60,000 displaced people is also a setback. We are very much disappointed, he said. Meanwhile, the ruling BJP in the state hailed the Budget, asserting that it was dedicated to the holistic and inclusive development of all citizens.

Modi govt provides funds to all states, does not discriminate, says FM on Opposition criticism
NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday dismissed the Opposition's criticism that the budget has accorded special treatment to states run by supporting parties, saying that those whose alliance got less than 230 seats have no right to question it as the Centre has provided funds to all states. On the issue of Rs 60,000 crore projects announced for Bihar and pledge to get multilateral assistance for the state and Andhra Pradesh, she said, Rs 1. 5 lakh crore assistance has been promised for all states in the budget. The Indi alliance (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) together could not cross 230 seats while BJP alone has reached 240 and with the pre-election alliance, we have formed government comfortably under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is historic, she said in a customary post-budget media briefing. 'Kursi bachao budget': Oppn says states ruled by it ignored, slams BJP for appeasing allies Prime Minister Modi in his third term has made several announcements for growth and development, including the provision of Rs 1. 50 lakh crore to states without interest for 50 years, she said, adding, this is over and above the Finance Commission's recommendation. We get proposals for all states and try to finance their projects following due process, she said. Asked whether West Bengal is not mentioned in the Budget , she said, those who are claiming this, should read the speech carefully as the name features in paragraph giving details of Purvodaya scheme. If the name of the state is not mentioned in the Budget speech that does not mean that it is not covered, she said. States in the Eastern part of the country are rich in endowments and have strong cultural traditions. We will formulate a plan, Purvodaya, for the all-round development of the eastern region of the country covering Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, she said in her Budget speech. This will cover human resource development, infrastructure, and the generation of economic opportunities to make the region an engine to attain Viksit Bharat.
