NEW DELHI: The SupremeCourt on Monday granted fourweeks time to states and UnionTerritories to respond on a pleaalleging death by starvation ofpersons due to denial of rationover problems in Aadhaar linkagewith ration cards.

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2020

If there was a prize for judicial triteness, the contributions ofthe Indian judiciary’s cream at the opening of the Internation-al Judicial Conference 2020, hosted by the Supreme Court, on

Saturday would be a clear winner. Cringe-worthy as that was, itpales into insignificance seen against the sycophancy towardsPrime Minster Narendra Modi, and the out-of context deferenceshown to exactly the sort of things said routinely by the currentpolitical establishment.

Their lordships simply failed to inspire confidence in the ideaof the independence of the judiciary as they delivered sermons onthe subject of “Judiciary in a Changing World” before a gather-ing from 20 nations. What impression of India’s democracy theyleft on visitors is moot.

Justice Arun Kumar Mishra, the third senior most judge of theSupreme Court, eulogised the PM as “an internationally ac-claimed visionary” and a “versatile genius who thinks globallyand acts locally” as he thanked Mr Modi for his “inspiring speechwhich would act as a catalyst in initiating the deliberations andsetting the agenda for the conference”.

The PM, in his speech, thanked India’s judiciary for strikinga balance between the needs of the environment and imperativesof development, and for delivering verdicts that were accepted byall Indians. These evidently struck Justice Mishra as being foraysinto genius territory. For other Indians, the question is apt to arise:In a tricky case, can ordinary citizens expect to be shown the samesolicitude as the government if hosannas are publicly sung to thePM by a Supreme Court judge? In the annals of India’s judiciary,the Supreme Court has keeled before the executive in the past (asduring the Emergency) and is perceived to be doing so to this day.The Ayodhya case, the Judge Loya case, silence on habeas cor-pus matters pertaining to Kashmir, and the manner of handlingthe Rafale issue, have left much to be desired, and raised ques-tions. However, it is hard to recall words that parallel JusticeMishra’s in praise of the PM. Indeed, rectitude and reticence of ahigh order were not so long ago deemed worthy attributes evenof sub-district judges, leave alone luminaries of the higher judi-ciary, as judicial officers routinely declined social and sometimeseven family invitations to underline the neutrality and impartial-ity of their office. Once when then PM Rajiv Gandhi sought tovisit the Chief Justice of India who had taken ill, the CJI quiterightly advised him not to, lest the harmless gesture be misun-derstood. The present CJI could have been more circumspect tooat Saturday’s conference. Instead, Justice S.A. Bobde stressed“fundamental duties”, exactly as Mr Modi does. He spoke ofcourts functioning courts in India 2,000 years ago (Manu Smriti),which seemed like pandering to the gods of present-day politics,forgetting that legal institutions of ancient Egypt go back 5,000years, and those of ancient Babylon (Hamurabi), ancient Rome— from which a good deal of modern laws derive — and ancientGreece pre-date the ancient Hindu system by many centuries.

India, US can work closely, but there are limitsWhen then US President

Richard Nixon landedin New Delhi at the

height of a boiling Indian sum-mer in 1969, Prime Minister In-dira Gandhi received him withthe far from welcoming re-mark: “You came at the wrongtime of day and the wrong timeof the year.” That commentcould be made on Monday toPresident Donald Trump, notbecause the mercury is bub-bling or Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi is an ungracious host,but because of the political andeconomic pressures behind thecurrent unrest.

India is at sixes and sevens.Which makes it all the moregratifying that Mr Trump’s isthe first standalone visit in 75years of diplomatic relations

even if it is a hard-sell sales-man’s 36-hour whistlestop trip.India needs the United Statesfor trade, investment, securityand sophisticated dual-purposetechnology.

However, althoughweapons are important, theycannot be the main prop of apartnership that goes far be-yond defence problems withtwo of India’s neighbours. Norcan H-1B visas and GreenCards, although for many Indi-ans the US is their escape to thegood life. That is a measure ofthe poverty that characterisesthis country far more than asmall coterie of billionaireswaxing rich under official pa-tronage. Whether or not theebullient US President ac-knowledges it, far from being

another Asian hegemon, Indiais not only poor but backwardand lagging far behind devel-oped nations in all the globallyrecognised indices of growth.

There is little question,therefore, of India pressuring anassertive and expansionist Chi-na either to do business onAmerican terms or adjust itstraditional geopolitical thinkingto a new concert of Asia. Yet,this is what the US seeks. It isthe ultimate objective of moveslike reviving the QuadrilateralSecurity Dialogue which theChinese view with deep suspi-cion, and renaming the oldestand largest US command“which includes 36 nations aswell as both the Pacific and In-dian Oceans” the Indo-PacificCommand.

Efforts are currently on in theBharatiya Janata Party to insu-late Prime Minister Narendra

Modi from the party’s humiliating de-feat in the recent Delhi Assemblypolls. Party insiders talk in hushedtones about serious differences be-tween Mr Modi and his confidantUnion home minister, Amit Shah. It isbeing said that Mr Modi was not infavour of rushing ahead with the en-actment of the amended citizenshiplaw at this juncture and wanted to takeit up at a later date. But Mr Shah ap-parently brought this matter to the no-tice of the Rashtriya SwayamsevakSangh that is said to have pressed MrModi to defer to his home minister’swishes, leaving him no choice but toback Mr Shah. This, BJP leaders said,explains why Mr Modi was not presentin the Lok Sabha during the debate onthe amended citizenship law. In fact,he did not even vote for the bill thoughthe party had issued a three-line whipto all its MPs. However, sceptics arenot convinced with this explanation, asthe Modi-Shah duo is known as theoriginal jodi no. one.

There is no end to the rumblings inthe Congress as an increasing numberof frustrated party leaders are publiclydemanding that the leadership crisis beresolved at the earliest. The subtext ofthese statements is that Rahul Gandhishould make it clear that he is notready to helm the Congress and anelection is called giving another leader,preferably a non-Gandhi, an opportu-nity to bid for this job. There is talkthat all those (and it is a sizeable num-ber) wanting greater clarity on theleadership front, are planning to writea letter to Congress president SoniaGandhi in this regard. But, the ques-tion is who will bell the cat, as

Sandeep Dikshit said recently. Anoth-er leader put it aptly: The Congress, hesaid, is like the Mughal harem wherethe concubines are constantly snipingbut hardly ever revolt.

Former cricketer Kirti Azad whocrossed over from the Bharatiya Jana-ta Party to the Congress on the eve oflast year’s Lok Sabha election appar-ently is keen on going back to his oldparty. Mr Azad is feeling restless afterhis wife Poonam Azad, a Congresscandidate from the Sangam Vihar seat,suffered a humiliating defeat in the re-cent Delhi Assembly election. He wasalso hoping to be named Delhi Con-gress president but had to make do asthe party’s campaign committee chief.According to capital’s politicalgrapevine, Mr Azad is sending outfeelers to his old BJP colleagues withthe explanation that he had differenceswith the late Arun Jaitley but had nev-er criticised Prime Minister NarendraModi. Azad is keen on rejoining theBJP before this year’s Bihar Assembly

election but his ghar wapsi couldprove difficult as his detractors arewaiting to point out that the cricketer-turned-politician had lost no time inslamming Mr Modi when he joined theCongress. They may be battling eachother publicly but former Uttarakhandchief minister Harish Rawat was quickto come to the rescue of his successorTrivendra Singh Rawat when he re-cently faced a fresh rebellion from hisparty colleagues. State minister SatpalMaharaj and Union minister for hu-man resource development RameshPokhriyal are both eyeing the chiefminister’s gaddi and have been lobby-ing hard for a leadership change. In themidst of this churning, Harish Rawatissued a statement accusing the BJP’scentral leadership of creating politicalinstability in Uttarakhand. The Con-gress leader pointed out that the BJPhad changed as many as nine chiefministers when it was in power andalso gone out of its way to ousting himwhen he was occupying the top post.

He also underlined that no BJP legisla-tor was in touch with him. Last heard,Trivendra Rawat was heaving a sigh ofrelief as his political opponent’s time-ly statement helped him survive thelatest threat to his kursi.

Punjab Congress leaders are se-cretly celebrating the party’s dismalperformance and the Aam Aadmi Par-ty’s victory in the Delhi polls. Dis-gruntled Congress leaders in the state,who have been on the look-out for oth-er options, are now inning their hopeson the AAP which has a base in thestate and has the potential togrow, es-pecially after its spectacular victory inDelhi. So far their choices were limit-ed. The Bharatiya Janata Party doesn’tcount for much in Punjab and the Shi-romani Akali Dal is facing a serious in-ternal crisis. It is no coincidence thenthat within days of the Delhi electionresult, several Congress leaders, in-cluding ministers, raised a banner ofrevolt against Punjab chief ministerAmarinder Singh.

Kashmir, like the Inter-net, has been mostly insilent mode since Au-

gust 5. The quietude could bedeceptive. It is never easy todecipher the Kashmiri mind.Kashmiri duality has beenboth a liability and an asset.After August 5, it has kepteverybody befuddled. Some-times nothing needs to bedone; you just live through it,wait it out. The winter in anyevent is a period of hiberna-tion and this has been a par-ticularly severe winter withan extended chillai kalan.

At this stage we couldclaim that the security para-digm has succeeded but itshelf life has run out. If theKashmiri is tired of mourningthe demise of Article 370,Delhi too seems to be back tothe mid-1990s. Militancy hasnot ended. Radicalisation isgrowing apace with hopeless-ness but the Islamic State,which is often talked about, isstill alien to Kashmir.

The J&K police, whichknows best about the goings-on in the Valley, is no longerwholly trusted. Boys laugh atthe constable, yet he is theonly one who knows whatthey are up to. There is talk ofinfiltration of foreigners inthe last six months, yet thosekilled in recent encountershave mostly been home-grown. What is the Jaish, thedeadliest of foreign terroristgroups, up to? The security

forces, as always, have donemore than their job in Kash-mir. Now it is up to the politi-cians, as our generals have re-peatedly said. The Kashmiriis undoubtedly tired, castrat-ed, beaten, desperately seek-ing normalcy. Much as he de-spises defeat, he is looking fora way out. In the hopeless-ness, he needs hope most ofall. It is time to listen and toengage with the Kashmiri.

Since the lockdown, animpression has gained curren-cy that Delhi was set to de-molish the Abdullah family.That would be easier saidthan done – trying to wish

away the National Confer-ence as deeply etched inKashmiri consciousness asCharar-e-Sharif, Shah-e-Hamdaan, Sahab and Hazrat-bal. As M.J. Akbar writes inKashmir: Behind the Vale,Sheikh Abdullah was thegreatest leader in modernKashmir, “without the forceof whose personality and ded-ication to secularism, Kash-mir would not have remainedin India”. On the Sheikh’spassing, on September 8,1982, a sea of Kashmirischoked the streets of Srinagarto catch a last glimpse of theSher-e-Kashmir. Indira Gand-

hi and the director of the In-telligence Bureau, who hadflown to Srinagar, had to trav-el by boat from the CentaurHotel to Naseem Bagh nearthe Hazratbal mosque,Sheikh’s final resting place.When the Sheikh’s widow,Begum Akbar Jahan, ormadre meharban, the “benev-olent mother”, as she wascalled in Kashmir, passedaway on July 11, 2000, her fu-neral was attended, amongothers, by Atal Behari Vaj-payee, L.K. Advani andGeorge Fernandes, a personalfriend of Dr Farooq Abdullah.Where in the Valley will we

find the “Mahatma” to re-place Dr Farooq Abdullahand how would Atalji have re-acted to the incarceration ofhis favourite Omar Abdullah,whom he desperately wantedto see chief minister in 2002?History cannot be distorted bycutting a couple of holidays.What history will record isthat three generations of theAbdullah family that stood byIndia were in prison becauseof our prejudices. Nor willVajpayee be easily forgottenin Kashmir. Like Banquo’sghost, Vajpayee will haunt thepolicymakers of Kashmir fora long time.

As the former, renownedMossad chief, Efraim Halevy,said of the Hamas, the Kash-miri can neither be destroyednor permanently contained.Engagement is the only wayforward. Without politics anddemocracy, radicalism, theoffshoot of frustration, willeat into Kashmir, particularlyits youth. P.V. Narasimha Raounderstood this when, withterrorism not fully subdued,he promised the sky to theKashmiris to facilitate elec-tions in J&K in 1996. Thentoo, Farooq Abdullah came toDelhi’s rescue. Mufti Mo-hammed Sayeed never tiredof saying that there was nosolution to Kashmir exceptFarooq. The Mufti’s refrainbefore he became chief minis-ter in 2002 was that politics inKashmir needed a level play-

ing field. The playing fieldnow is as bare as MotherHubbard’s cupboard. Thethree former chief ministerswho could possibly fill thevoid are all under detentionand yet there appears to be arush to the mainstream. In avacuum everyone is a chiefminister, or so they think. TheKashmiris are always ready tolisten and engage.

The separatists too, atleast “the Advani Hurriyat”,so labelled in Kashmir be-cause of their engagementwith the former deputy primeminister in early 2004, needto seriously contemplate, ifgiven another, last, chance,whether they would grab it orcontinue to look over theirshoulder and be consigned tothe dustbin of history.

The magic of democracyis that hardliners get moderat-ed and mainstreamed. Kash-mir cannot be changed with-out compassion. It needs asense of belonging and digni-ty. That is why we should alsoengage with Pakistan. Sud-heendra Kulkarni, who visit-ed Pakistan in December,wrote on his return that Pak-istan was ready, more readythan ever before, for engage-ment with India. Imran Khanobviously wants peace but ifpeople who visit Delhi via Is-lamabad and Rawalpindi areto be believed, then the gener-als too now want peace withIndia.

Compassion only door to hope in the ValleyAt this stage we could claim that the security paradigm

has succeeded but it shelf life has run out

Bid to ‘shield’ Modi over CAA;rank and file for new Cong prezA prayer is a ‘thank you’ to existence

AMRIT SADHANA

All over the world,down the ages, reli-gions were centred

around prayers and worship.In fact, prayer is one of themost ancient expressions ofreligion. The practices andrites of contemporary tribalpeoples might offer a glimpse

into rem-nants ofe a r l i e rforms ofr e l i g i o u sbehaviour.We can sayit is an ad-v a n c e dform of

asking for help from the idolyou believe in. No doubt, itstrengthens your faith, but italso means throwing your re-sponsibility on someone.Someone else must do some-thing for you. And you are apassive receiver.

The allure of prayer is sostrong that people are notwilling to get over it. There iscertainly a bio-energetic rea-son why humans resort topraying in the hour of crisis.“Prayer and meditation arehighly effective in loweringour reactivity to traumaticand negative events,” says DrPaul Hokemeyer, a marriage,family and addictions thera-pist. “They are powerful be-cause they focus our thoughts

on something outside our-selves. During times of stress,our limbic system, more com-monly known as our centralnervous system, becomes hy-per-activated, which does twothings: it thrusts us into sur-vival mode, where we freeze,fight or flee the situation.

This also shuts down ourexecutive functioning [and]prevents us from thinkingclearly. Therefore, whenwe’re stressed out, we makepoor decisions and act inself-destructive ways…When we sit down and en-gage in prayer or meditation,we can shift away from thisfrightened and stressed sur-vival mode into an intention-al state and re-engage ourprefrontal cortex, the part ofthe brain that enables us tomake intelligent, mindful de-cisions.” However, it is goodto remember that prayer andmeditation are not synony-

mous. Meditation is doingsomething internally toachieve something, taking inyour own responsibility. Forthe modern man, the prereq-uisite of prayer, the belief orfaith is hard to come by. Wemust remember that this isthe scientific age, which isfounded on doubt, not belief.Therefore, Osho has changedthe whole connotation ofprayer.

He says that prayer is thelast stage, the culmination ofmeditation. For: “Prayer islove. Prayer is gratitude.Prayer is thankfulness — tothe sunrise or to the sunset,or to the sky full of stars, orto the earth, to the moun-tains, to the rivers. It is not abelief; we are part of it.Prayer can be possible onlyif your life has become sobeautiful, so blissful, thatyou feel gratitude, a thank-fulness towards existence.

Former cricketer KirtiAzad who crossedover from theBharatiya Janata Partyto the Congress on theeve of last year’s LokSabha electionapparently is keen ongoing back to his old party.

Speaking during occasion, Dr Ajay Goyal, head of the department of nephrology and renal transplant at Ojas said that kidneys are susceptible to various problems due to vital functions and toxins it encounter.The key to prevention or delay of severe kidney disease is early detection and

a g g r e s s i v e intervention. Medical ca re wi th ea r ly intervention can change the course of c h r o n i c k i d n e y disease and help to prevent the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant, he said. Since diabetes and high blood pressure put you at risk of

kidney disease, know where you stand with these risks. Poor eating habits, smoking and obesity are associated with increased risk for kidney disease, Dr Ajay opined. He said further that researchers have found that people with poor quality diet are more likely to develop kidney disease. Obese people are too likely to develop kidney disease. Those who smoked were about 60% more likely to develop kidney disease. Unlike family history of kidney failure, diet, smoking, and obesity are modifiable lifestyle factors that we can all control. By eating well, quitting smoking, and maintaining a normal weight, people can protect their kidneys and prevent future damage, maintained Dr Ajay.
