A Passage to India's Future
Tourism in India is at record levels, and getting around is generally a lot easier for novice travelers than it used to be. The country's transformation is changing the list of must-see places.

Bihar will be a developed State by 2015, says Nitish Kumar
Navin Upadhyay | Patna

Three years may not be enough for writing the final word on achievements of any Government, more so if it is battling the dubious legacies of the sorts inherited by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

But Bihar of 2008 has a come a long way from the 'Laluland' (1990-2004), which epitomised crime, corruption, anarchy, and heart-rending poverty. It is no more the city often compared to the setting of George Orwell's Animal farm.

The State capital today looks like an earthquake-hit city covered with mounds of cement, sand, bricks and stone chips. The city's pockmarked roads, a nightmare for motorists, are now being given an unprecedented facelift. A cyber park has come up in Patna, and a major Buddha park is planned in the heart of the city. Roads are being widened and repaired and the non-existent sewage system is being put in place. City's abandoned land, where poor children squat in the wee hours and garbage dumped at night, are being fenced and turned into children's parks. Government buildings wear a new look; town's landmarks like the Udyog Bhavan and the Patna Medical College Hospital have changed so much that it is difficult to make out them after a year's absence from the city.

There is hope in the air and even cynics have begun to admit the future looks rosy. In a State, where caste still remained the most important yardstick to decide the political preference, the divisive boundaries are breaking, down and the man who presides over this change is confident that he would change the face of the much-discredited State in the next six-seven years.


"Bihar will be a major developed State by 2015," Nitish said, sounding equally confident about his own future as Chief Minister till then.

Going by the way his Government is performing, he may be right on both the counts. Talk to anyone, and he would admit the Chief Minister means business and deserves a second term to complete the task he had undertaken.

What is your biggest challenge? The question brings out a long explanatory reply presenting the enormity of the task Nitish is faced with today.

"Everything was in shambles when I took over. There was no administration, no policing, no civic work culture. Governance remained my first and foremost challenge in such situation. It took a while to set right the system of governance. Thankfully, it has begun to work," he said.

Nitish is happy that international organisations and multilateral agencies are changing their perception towards Bihar. "We are getting generous offers for financial aid for the development schemes undertaken by the State Government. People have begun to realise Bihar is changing, and changing fast," he said.

Nitish pointed out the Plan size of Bihar has gone up nearly three fold during the last three years. "When I became Chief Minister, Bihar's Plan size stood at around Rs 5,000 crore, whereas for next year it was Rs 13,500 crore. You can imagine with three fold increase in expenditure, the State is bound to progress," he said.

At the same time, Nitish is not happy with the attitude of the Centre towards the State. He blamed the Centre for tardy progress of road projects under NHDP phase-III, and blocking a proposal to allow setting up of plant to produce ethanol. He is also bitter about that fact that despite his long fight, the Centre has not agreed to revise the list of people below the poverty line in Bihar.

"Some people ruined the State and are now playing politics with its future. But we will not give up," he said, adding," he will mobilise MPs cutting across party lines to raise the issue of Bihar effectively at the Centre in the coming days.

Mixing good governance with good politics, Nitish has made right moves to break Lalu Prasad's caste arithmetic, wooed a major chunk of the backward castes by introducing women reservation at panchayat level and ordering fencing of all Muslim graveyards. At the same time, to woo dalits he formed a Mahadalit Ayog, and decided to provide incentives to backwards among the dalits.

On the day this correspondent met the Chief Minister, he had inaugurated children's park in Patna's Kankaerbag colony. The park was done in just 21 days. " I hope some day to develop Patna as a city of children's parks," Nitish said, adding, " every piece of abandoned land will be beautified, and the city will look so different when we are through with it."

Janata Dal (United) is a political party in India with political presence mainly in Bihar and Karnataka. It is led by Nitish Kumar. The current party was formed by the merger of the erstwhile Janata Dal (United) with the Samata Party on October 30, 2003. The uniting force is believed to be common opposition to Rashtriya Janata Dal in Bihar especially after the RJD welcomed Samata Party rebels like Raghunath Jha and Brahmananad Mandal into the party. Janata Dal (United) is a constituent of the National Democratic Alliance.

You guys are missing the point. It does not matter which party Nitish Kumar is from.

The point is that if somehow Bihar can come off the list of 'Backward' states, as measured by GOI's socio-economic parameters, it would be a massive boost to India's national averages.

If somehow the indicators in a few large 'backward' states such as Bihar, UP, and Orissa can move up to match the current national average, India would become a 'middle income country'.

Golden Quadrilateral meets midway death

Nidhi Sharma | New Delhi



Image
The Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways has decided to give up on the much-delayed Golden Quadrilateral (GQ), the ambitious project of connecting all four metros with four-lane highways. Four years after its original deadline of December 2003, the Government has decided to complete as much of it as possible till June and then terminate all pending contracts.

As per the latest statistics of the Ministry, 196 km of the 5,946 km GQ is still incomplete. According to sources, the Ministry has now decided to terminate all the contracts if they spill over beyond June this year. Sources said that the unfinished stretches would then be taken up as part of National Highway Development Programme (NHDP) Phase V.

This phase would involve six-laning of GQ and is likely to be completed by December 2012. A senior NHAI official said, "Since it has been decided to six-lane the entire length of GQ, it would not make too much of difference to leave the incomplete stretches. They would be taken up for six-laning in one go."

According to the Ministry's own estimates, only 40 km of the incomplete length of 196 km would be completed by June. The remaining would spill over and the contracts would be terminated. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the prime implementing agency for highway development, is also mulling over the possibility of action against errant contractors. High-level sources said that the decision has already been conveyed to the Committee on Infrastructure and the Parliamentary Standing Committee on transport, tourism and culture.

The NHAI has divided 196 km into 25 contracts. Of this 10, spread over 156 km, are likely to overshoot the revised deadline of June 2008. The stretches that will be given up and contracts terminated include 77-km Harihar-Chitradurga in Karnataka, 56-km Haveri-Harihar in Karnataka and 62.64-km Balasore-Bhadrak stretch in Orissa. Similarly, Orissa's 55.173-km-long Sunakhala-Ganjam stretch is not even 50 per cent complete. Though the original deadline for completion was April 2004, the present pace of work indicates that the project will only been completed by December 2009 -- over five years after the target.

The original deadline of completion for GQ was December 2003, which was revised to December 2004 and then to December 2005. Last year, the Ministry had expected to wrap up all work on GQ by end of 2007 or maximum by June 2008. However, now it seems the curtains will fall on the GQ.
So the majority of the incomplete highway (77km+56 km is in Karnataka and the rest in Orissa). So whatis the problem in these two states?

Awesome story. Very inspiring that he got his PhD while working as a chowkidar!
Armed with PhD, this chowkidar teaches post-grads

Durgesh Nandan Jha | New Delhi

He takes post-graduate classes during daytime and keeps guard of the library building at Arts Faculty of Delhi University in the night. Fifty-two-year-old Rajkishore Pandey, who has taken PhD on A comparative study on Adhyatma and Ananda Ramayana in the Valmiki Ramayana from the Delhi University and teaches Sanskrit to post-graduate students, is a permanent chowkidar in the Delhi University.


Despite being on the wrong side of the age now, Rajkishore still appears for interviews for the selection of university teachers and devotes most of his time in the library he guards. His son is also a PhD in Hindi from the same university.

"I teach Valmiki Ramayana to post-graduate students at South Campus. I take three classes in a week. All classes are held in the morning. From 5 pm onwards, I am on duty at Arts Faculty," says Rajkishore.

Rajkishore, who got married when he was 10, has spent more than 22 years guarding the campus. He came to the Capital from Tiwaripur in Uttar Pradesh in 1980 armed with an intermediate certificate from his village school and started as a daily-wage worker at the DU. He later became a security guard.

Rajkishore did his graduation from Shivaji College, MA from Hansraj College and PhD in the year 2000 from DU. He took special permission from the then Vice-Chancellor for taking PhD degree. "I regularly apply for teacher's or lecturer's post in different universities. On several occasions, I was about to be appointed. But all of them fizzled out in the last moment. It seems the fact that I am a chowkidar had worked against me. I could never convince the interviewers that I could be as good or bad a lecturer as any other qualified person is," he said.

Rajkishore was even offered a clerk's job by DU but he refused it saying that he would either become a lecturer or remain a chowkidar. "Now, I really wish that my son doesn't face a similar problem and becomes a good teacher," he added.

When Rajkishore arrives for duty, he is an epitome of a chowkidar. His colleagues, teachers of various departments and students are all praises for him.

Some say his academic success is an example of hardwork while others hold the anti-poor mindset of administrators as the reason for his professional failure.


Curriculum vitae
Name: Rajkishore Pandey

Graduation from Shivaji College

MA from Hansraj College

PhD from DU

Topic of study: A comparative study on Adhyatma and Ananda Ramayana in the Valmiki Ramayana

Aim in life: Either become a lecturer or remain a chowkidar

India is shining, globally: BBC Survey


India's image abroad is increasingly being seen in positive light, with most favorable views of the country coming from North America, Asia and Africa, a survey has shown.

The positive image of India among the countries tracked by a BBC World Service survey has risen from 38 per cent to 41 per cent whereas the negative views have gone up by a point to 28 per cent.

The poll shows that 14 countries have mostly positive views of India, with Australia leading the pack with 71 per cent, followed by Canada at 59 per cent, United States 57 per cent and Indonesia at 54 per cent.

What is also being pointed out is that among the new countries polled, the image of India tended to be positive -- in Ghana there was a 46 per cent positive feeling as opposed to a 19 per cent negative rating; in Japan it is 34 per cent positive and 11 per cent negative.

The World Service survey, released on Wednesday, also shows that the views about India are divided in Spain-- 35 per cent positive and 31 per cent negative; and on the whole lean towards being negative in Central America with 33 per cent negative, 21 per cent positive.

After years of taking the low road in the years of the Bush administration, positive perception of the United States has gone up by four points--from 31 per cent to 35 per cent with negative views of Washington's influence dropping five percentage points to 47 per cent.

In the world opinion poll, more than 17,000 people in 34 countries were interviewed with the survey period being three months up to the end of January 2008.

^^ The common thing between all these countries is catholicism. The catholic church has ingrained the hatred and negative attitude towards pagans that their viewpoints towards indians will be always be negative, until there is large contact between these people and indians to know each other's culture.

India's image would be much more positive if India was not so closely associated with terrorism. In Canada, Sikh Khlaistan terrorists blew up AI jet, so the word 'India' is associated with turban wearing people who blow up planes! In UK and Australia too, with these Muslim Indian doctors being implicated in terrorist plots, India's image takes a beating.

I have spoken to people in States who think India is a Muslim nation, they dont even know it is majority Hindu!

And recently, i have observed articles on Xtian church sites about fundamentalist hindoos on killing spree. Murdering and prosecuting innocent xtian citizens of india. So gentlemen seeds have been sowen either for justifying future adventure on evil yindoo land or simply to bring back the local population into the church's hold by creating fear and insecurity. I am talking from Scandanavian point of view where people are not that attached to the church.

I can only move my post not others'.

Would you please be kind enough to move all the relevant posts to the appropriate thread, so that we can discuss why these countries, that have minimum contact with India, have such negative opinions of India?

And Australians show 71% positive feeling towards India, despite the recent kirkait spat, and despite their Government leaders openly showing fealty towards China. :-?

They heard about India through mother Teresa. When they hear that India is no longer that, and may be better than them, they are most likely to have heartburn.

Hold it boys, please read the report again...
In the world opinion poll, more than 17,000 people in 34 countries were interviewed with the survey period being three months up to the end of January 2008.
So on an average they polled 500 people per country or may be more/less. And the way these polls are conducted, I assume, is by thrusting a sheet of paper with hazar countries listed in it as follows

Check on of the following:
Italy - Good Bad
India - Good Bad
Iran - Good Bad
Iraq - Good Bad
Amrika - Good Bad
Chini - Good Bad

So I wont put too much weight on these opinion polls... no one cares what 500 people in a country of millions think about another country that is a million miles away.

Indian government doesn't act for the majority of the Hindu people, it is only interested in appeasing minorities and getting votes from them and ruling the majority. It is shame that the founders of the Indian constitution have ignored the interests of the majority of the Indians who are Hindus. Plans are also underway by the radical Islamic groups to convert India to a Muslim Majority Country soon. India's Hindu culture and identity is being replaced by Islamic fundamentalism. This is clearly demonstrated in the case of handling Tasleema Nasreen's case. Development without respect to the respect of Majority of Hindus is waste and useless. No wonder why most of the americans think that India is a Muslim country.

You're correct. Actually I have seen projected rates of growth and influx from Bangladesh that indicate that within 50 years India will be majority Muslim.

If that happens, all our nuclear weapons and technology will fall into the hands of Muslims, and I dpont think America wants that!

I think maybe that is the real reason the West wants to 'contain' India and strip us of nuclear weapons. They look and see a weak state which will soon become another Pakistan.

John, rachel first posted her "truths" on India forum and was promptly kicked out by the moderators and her posts deleted.

The moderators on bharat-rakshak are a bit soft. rachel has done all that you have said an more. Called Russians, canadians and aussies names but still she/he is allowed to post here. I hope BR moderators take a lesson from IF moderators and deal with her/him in the same manner.

I dont want to derail this thread but just that everyone knows the truth about rachel i posted it. My last post on this matter.

Screw off. Why dont you find some of my positive threads/posts for balance? Everything I have stated I have backed up, unlike you. And I dont appreciate you telling the admins how to do their job: you're like the annoying tattletale kid who screams in class 'I'm telling the teacher on you'.

Nice try..but the momentum has been set. Your days here are numbered and it aint going to be pleasant either.

I thought it was posted on BRF that pukes are third in line among the top negative guys. May be it was another survey.

John, rachel first posted her "truths" on India forum and was promptly kicked out by the moderators and her posts deleted.

The moderators on bharat-rakshak are a bit soft. rachel has done all that you have said an more. Called Russians, canadians and aussies names but still she/he is allowed to post here. I hope BR moderators take a lesson from IF moderators and deal with her/him in the same manner.

I dont want to derail this thread but just that everyone knows the truth about rachel i posted it. My last post on this matter.
You're an %$^and YOU will be kicked out of this forum until you can prove these allegations. I have never in my life heard of india-forum and you can go to hell too...because if you LIE about me again, I will ensure that you are expelled. Get the IP address from the mods at that forum and compare it!

And if you dont want to derail the thread, then dont post!

Dhoot confident of Motorola handset unit takeover.

"I have thrown my hat in the ring. And they will say it is a good hat as it is an Indian hat," Dhoot said in his usual euphemism on the sidelines of a conference here Saturday. He refused to divulge any financial details.
