The fast bowler is delighted to be part of the tournament and is looking forward to representing the Lions in what promises to be an exciting season. Speaking about the tournament and his preparations, Arshdeep said, It feels great to be part of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League. There is a lot of excitement around the tournament, and I am really looking forward to being part of the Ludhiana Lions and this journey. The preparations have been very good so far. We have spent a lot of time working on our skills, understanding our roles and preparing for different match situations. Now, the main focus is to take that confidence from the training ground into the matches, he said.

There are no easy games in T20 cricket, so we will have to be at our best from the first match. We don't want to look too far ahead. The focus will be on taking one game at a time, executing our plans and continuing to improve as the tournament progresses. If we can stay consistent and play according to our plans, hopefully we can have a good campaign, Arshdeep said.

There is so much they can learn just by watching how senior players train, how they prepare before a match, and how they handle pressure when the situation is not going their way. These small things can make a big difference in a young player's development, he said.

Researchers at the Fish Resource Management Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K), have standardised breeding and larval-rearing protocols for Schizothoraxplagiostomus, one of several snow trout species found in Kashmir. Though its origins can be traced to Central Asia, Schizothorax species are considered indigenous to Kashmir's freshwater ecosystems. They are adapted to cold, clear, and oxygen-rich waters. It is certainly an important development amidst the increasing threats of pollution, mining activities, construction and climate change, said DrFarooz Ahmad Bhat, Dean, Faculty of Fisheries, SKUAST-K. DrBhat, who leads the project at the University's Rangil campus in Ganderbal, said the team bred Schizothoraxplagiostomusbroodstock under controlled conditions using a hormonal protocol. The snow trout or snow barbel breeds in clean glacial waters. Human interference has had a negative impact on their production, he said. The team has produced about 10,000 eggs. The fry will be reared to advanced stages before being released into natural streams. By successful ranching into the streams of the Valley, it is expected that in the near future, encouraging results will be seen regarding the production and reproduction of this particular fish, DrBhat said. The work comes amid concern over the decline of native fish and deteriorating freshwater habitats. Recent fish mortality - mainly of Schizothorax species - has been reported from Panzath springs in Qazigund, Martand springs in Mattan, Sherbagh and Andernag springs in Anantnag, Verinag springs, Beehama springs in Ganderbal and parts of Shopian springs. DrBhat said Schizothoraxplagiostomus is mainly associated with cold, flowing waters. Schizothoraxniger, or Elegant Snow Trout locally known as Ael Gad, was once widespread in Dal Lake, stagnant wetlands, the Jhelum and freshwater springs. Clean springs such as Mattan can also support Schizothoraxplagiostomus if stocked there. Four decades back, Dal Lake teemed with this fish species. The peripheries of Dal Lake were full of pebbles, so this species of fish flourished, DrBhat said. Snow trout was also found in the Vaishaw, Sandran, Brengi, Lidder, Madhumati, and several other mountain streams. DrBhat said its range has since contracted, with populations now largely confined to upper reaches. Their numbers in the middle and lower reaches have come down due to human interference, he said. The fish scrapes algae from stones and pebbles and requires clean, rocky beds and sand for feeding and spawning. There should be no turbidity or muck in the water which is commonly seen in the water-bodies now, DrBhat said. DrAadilHussainMagloo, a member of the research team, said scientists studied water conditions in the Jhelum and its tributaries where snow trout still survives and maintained optimum water-quality parameters in broodstock ponds and hatchery facilities. Keeping the importance of water quality parameters and the protocol of induced breeding in mind, we have set the breeding standards for this rare fish, which will help us in increasing the production of Kashmiri fish in the future in natural water bodies, DrMagloo said. DrBhat said the objective was conservation, not commercial production. This species isn't culturable but is meant to be conserved in its natural range of distribution, he said. Snow trout grows much more slowly than Rainbow and Brown trout. It reaches only about 60-80 grams in three years, or a maximum of around 90 grams, by the time it attains sexual maturity. However, despite its slow early growth, snow trout can eventually grow to 2-3 Kg or more over its lifespan under natural conditions. The decline of native 'Kashmiri' fish has also coincided with the spread of common carp, locally known as Punjabi fish, which reproduces more readily and has become dominant in many waters. The captive-breeding breakthrough offers a way to replenish depleted snow trout stocks. Its success, however, will depend on restoring suitable streams and protecting the habitats where the indigenous fish breeds and survives. The Department of Fisheries in Jammu and Kashmir can adopt the breeding protocol to support the restoration and conservation of this vanishing, rare indigenous species, an official said.

Carrying the Guru's Word: The Story of Sikhism in Jammu and Kashmir
COMMODORE DS SODHI, NM (Retd) Sikhism, the fifth largest Religion of the world, is a monotheistic faith emphasising the equality, selfless service and meditation on divine. The three pillars of Sikhism are Naam Japo( meditate on Divine) Kirat Karo ( earn honest living through hard work) Vand Chhako(share blessings and wealth with the needy) Sikhism developed from the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the nine Other Sikh Gurus who succeeded him. The core belief and practices of Sikhism include faith and meditation in the name of one creator (Aik Onkar), divine unity, equality and engagement in selfless service (Sewa), striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all (Sarbat Da Bala). Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Jammu and Kashmir during his third Udaasi and Pandit Braham Das was the first one to embrace the Sikh faith and later preach it also. The subsequent Gurus took on the responsibility of preaching Sikhism in the region. The preachings of Bhai Gadiya, Bhai Madhodas, Mata Bhag Bhari, Bhai Bano and Bhai Pheroo influenced the Hindus of the hilly areas as well as cities and brought them closer to Guru Nanak's Faith. The preachers also took care of the places of historical importance from where Guru Nanak and Guru Hargobind Sahib had preached as well as carried out discussions with learned people of other faiths. After Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Hargobind Sahib had Guru Har Rai Sahib also visited Jammu and Kashmir and preached Nanak's Faith. It was in the year 1699 AD that Guru Gobind Singh Ji baptised Baba Pheroo with Amrit and named him Bhai Pheroo Singh. Guru Gobind Singh honoured him with the titles Sachi Dari (True Beard) and Sangat Sahib for his pure devotion and honest maintenance of accounts. Guruji assigned him the task of propagating the philosophy of Sikhism in the north-west mountainous region, including Poonch and Kashmir. Bhai Pheroo had set up his Dera ( headquarters) in Rajoieay (Hazara). In order to accomplish his mission, he travelled extensively in Peshawar, Kandhar, Balkh, Chach, Hazara, Pakhli, Attack, Poonch, Muzzafarabad and Kashmir. Bhai Pheroo Singh handed over his duties and seat (Gadi) to Bhai Punjab Singh Ji in the year 1711 AD. Bhai Punjab Singh shifted the headquarters from Rajoieay to Chattar Class in Muzzafarabad. Preaching in the hill areas, he brought many Hindus closer to Sikh faith, educating them to get rid of casteism and other Superstitions. Bhai Punjab Singh visited Mattan in Kashmir when the Mughals were carrying out atrocities on Kashmiri Pandits. Towards the later part of his life, he handed over the duty and the seat to Bhai Rocha Singh Ji in the year 1736 AD. Bhai Rocha Singh had also been baptized with Amrit by Guru Gobind Singh Ji at Sabo Talwandi (now called Damdama Sahib). Bhai Rocha Singh was found of weapons and he always moved with armed men around him. Bhai Rocha Singh shifted his headquarters from Chattar Klass to Rawalakote. During this time the Afghan took control of Kashmir. It was during this period, that Sukhjivanmal got Sikhs and Brahmans from places like Pakhli, Hazara, Frontier, and Pothohar ( their castes Rism , Dutta, Sudan , Sasan, Lau, Kala, Reen, Mehta , Bali etc) to Kashmir. Bhai Rocha Singh had fought with Afghan Forces at Jambazpura on way to Kamraz. He carried out Penance in the jungle of village Shialkot for a long time and presently a Beautiful Gurdwara Sahib commemorating his visit stands tall there. In the year 1803 AD at the age of 115 years, he handed over the duty and seat to Bhai Mela Singh who shifted the headquarters from Rawalakote to Nangali Sahib Poonch. He travelled widely to Shailkot, Muzzafarabad, Mendhar, Kashmir etc. During the Sikh Rule, the movement of preaching Sikhism gathered momentum in Kashmir. Many Hindus who had come to Kashmir for trade embraced Sikhism as also many Kashmiri Pandits (Bhai Almat, MadhoDhar, Tarloknath Raina, Giani Raina) adopted the Sikh faith. After Bhai Mela Singh, Bhai Manna Singh, Bhai Mangal Singh, Bhai Ratan Singh, Bhai Avtar Singh, Bhai Rattan Singh Modi, Bhai Mohar Singh, Bhai Mangal Singh, Mahant Bachatar Singh , Mahant Manjit Singh (at present) carried out the duty from time to time. Mahant Manjit Singh who is presently on the seat at Nangali Sahib in addition to the duty of preaching Sikhism has also embarked on the duty of giving education to the people. He has opened schools and an Engineering college in Jammu. He travels within the country and abroad to spread the message of Sikh faith of living. Sewadars Bhai Punjab Singh, Bhai Phantoo Singh , Bhai Tara Singh carried out the duty from a hill top Saantpura Daney in Muzzafarabad. Bhai Khushal Singh, Bhai Gurdit Singh and Sant Gurbakh Singh also carried out this duty there. Sewadars Sant Bhai Joga Singh, Bhai Diya Singh, Bhai Narain Singh, and Bhai Gurdit Singh were appointed heads of Gufa Waley Santan De Deray . Sant Gurbaksh Singh of village Dana Muzzafarabad also carried out the duty of preaching Sikh Religion in the Jammu Region. Presently Sant Tejwant Singh (alumni of Baba Jhujhar Singh Gurmat Missionary Kendra Ropar Punjab) is carrying out the duty in Jammu. In the year 1931, Sant Gurdit Singh had opened a school in Village Danna Muzzafarabad. Presently, the locals there have upgraded the school to College still maintaining the name. Sant Tejwant Singh is also running a higher secondary school by the name of Sant Gurbaksh Singh Danna International School. Also, a school for underprivileged children named Sant Bhai Kushal Singh Gurmat Vidyalaye Kendra Madbagh is also run by him. He has travelled internationally spreading the message of Sikhism.
