Much Needed Words Of Assurance From The Center

Students at the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar have been assured by many political figures that their safety is of prime concern. The center has taken steps to ensure that the college continues to work normally. The ministers are trying to make students feel safe on campus.

Cricket Leads To Crisis

It all started on the 31st of March when India lost the semi-finals of the World T20 Cup. The defeat in the match against West Indies saddened Indians.

At such a time, a handful of locally residing students of NIT Srinagar celebrated India’s loss with a few crackers.

Other students were infuriated by this. They reacted with protests. This led to a clash between students, now divided into two groups.

Authorities Shut College Down

The protests continued. Students tried to hoist the Indian flag at the administrative block of the college. Both groups of students shouted serious slogans.

The campus no longer felt safe. The administrative authorities of the college had to close the campus down.

It remained closed from Saturday, 1st of March till the following Monday.
With tight security both from the local police and from paramilitary forces, the college reopened on Monday.

Further Protests

Despite the presence of security forces, fresh protests were carried out by students.

Students from the non-resident group expressed their desire to leave the college and head back home.

Clash With The Local Police

Attempts by the police to calm the angered students resulted in more chaos.

A few students who were protesting pushed a senior police officer. Police then had to use the force of lathi-charge. A few students were injured.

The Center Steps In

To ease the tension at the campus, the Central and State Ministry are trying to make the campus safe for students. There have been assurances by a few ministers that the campus will be safe again.

Can Students Feel Safe

Some of the steps taken by the HRD Ministry with proper employment of security forces can help students feel safe again. The following are some reasons to feel safe:

• Assurance from Home Minister Rajnath Singh
• Assurance from Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti
• Assurance from HRD Minister Smriti Irani
• Visit by a team of director-level officers from the ministry.

The Home Minister has spoken to the J&K Chief Minister, who has also assured that the college will be back to normal soon. HRD Minister Smriti Irani has also spoken to the Chief Minister regarding the same.

The team of officers from the HRD ministry has spoken to students and tried for reconciliation. They are trying to bring back the students’ confidence in the safety of their premises.

Inquiry Into The Incident

The Chief Minister has also assured to conduct an inquiry to know more about how it all happened. Those responsible could then be addressed to.

All the above and ongoing attempts to restore safety should make the students feel safe again. Life at the college on the banks of picturesque Dal Lake should come back to normal.

Fast Food Chains – Bustling Hubs Of Modern Indian Cities

Whether you want to grab a quick meal or hang out at a party with friends, you are sure to think of fast food chains. They are convenient, quick, happening, and friendly on the pocket as well.

Every minute rushes past in today’s life. ‘Fast’ is the new mantra of life. And chains of fast food have come as a blessing to aid us in whizzing through busy days.

Good At Providing Fast Service

Fast food joints may not have extensive table service like big restaurants. But they specialize in serving quick meals. And thus, they are rightly called quick service restaurants.

Rapidly Spreading Fast Food Chains

Recent years have witnessed the mushrooming of fast food restaurants throughout India, especially in big cities.

They have been quickly spreading across smaller cities and towns. Even narrow little streets of India are today home to fast food joints, both Indian and international, always ready to satisfy food-lovers.

Why Quick Service Restaurants Are So Popular

• They provide an easy means to grab a quick meal on the way to work or during travel.
• They provide convenient takeaway and home delivery options.
• They are economical.
• With more and more people traveling abroad and embracing worldwide food, there has been an expansion of the taste palate. These restaurants provide a diverse choice of quick food.
• A growing economy thanks to a greater number of young working men and women has also led to citizens being more ready to spend on food.

Bringing Together A Wide Palate

Indian fast food restaurant chains are diverse, coming from different states of the country.

If you want to have a taste of North Indian street food with their tangy and sweet flavors, look no further than Haldiram’s, Bikanerwala or Nirula’s down the corner of a street. You can drop in for a quick meal and also satisfy your sweet tooth. They are a vegetarian’s paradise.

You can get a very good taste of the south at restaurants like Saravana Bhavan and Darshini.

Goli vada pav brings to you the famous dish of the streets of Mumbai along with its modern modifications like cheese vada pav.

Please your taste buds at Wow! Momo with bites of Darjeeling’s famous street food.

From Across The Borders

Early global entrants like McDonald’s faced many challenges in the beginning. Gradually, with modifications to their menu and policies, they have made their place in the Indian market. Today more and more International culinary chains are happily thriving in Indian streets.

International Culinary Chains

Delight yourself with a spicier version of McDonald’s burger, even if you are a vegetarian. There are options tailor-made for the Indian palate. Also, McDonald’s does not use beef in India.

Try Nando’s, KFC, Dunkin’ Donuts and many other fast food chains for a diverse taste from around the world.

Entertainment For All Occasions

If you are a part of the 360 billion youth of India and are hungry for more variety than ever before, any of these joints can satisfy you.

They can also please the traditional foodie with many of them including the most loved traditional flavors.

Many of these chains have a child-friendly atmosphere making them great for the entire family and also for organizing kids’ birthday parties.

Though these foods aren’t very friendly to the health conscious, many fast food chains are providing healthy alternatives to their dishes. They are definitely a great alternative to expensive dine-in restaurants when you want a little break from cooking at home.

Bangalore Loses ‘Safe’ Status After Brutality Against The Tanzanian Girl

While reports of atrocities against women were pouring out of other metropolitan cities of India, Bangalore was still the one nearly safe enough.

After what happened to the Tanzanian girl, it is time, even Bangalore had hung its head down in shame.

The barbaric incident has laid bare the low morale of the public towards foreigners. Whatever became of “Atithi Devo bhava”?

Height of Misunderstanding

A case of sheer misunderstanding it was, when the girl was allegedly violated by an angry yet clueless mob, in response to a hit-and-run case.

• The mob mistook the Tanzanian girl’s car to be that of the culprit.
• The perpetrators allegedly dragged her out of the car, stripped her, and beat her up. They did not even spare her friends who were inside the car.
• As if this was not enough, the passengers of the bus passing by pushed her out of it when she tried to escape by getting on it.
• All this transpired for one small mistake – she had parked her car near the accident spot.

She and her three friends paid a hefty price for a crime they did not commit.

Repercussions Against The Crime

This incident has the High Commission of Tanzania involved.

A Note Verbal sent to the External Affairs Ministry clearly indicates measures required against those guilty of the crime. Fortunately, the Ministry has intervened in the matter, booking four accused. They are likely to face criminal charges.

Calling the event ‘shameful’, Sushma Swaraj, the External Affairs Minister, has stressed on ensuring safety of the Tanzanian students overall.

Bengaluru Cut A Sorry Figure

A majority of men shows an incomprehensible aggression on women to date. Surprisingly, this never happened in Bengaluru – a city so advanced in erudition and open-mindedness. Will there be no city left where women can feel safe?

Budget Brings Bad News for Smokers

The announcement of the hike on excise duty on cigarettes spread like wildfire and saw some action with tobacco vendors witnessing a busy afternoon on a hot day in July.

The 11-72 per cent hike on cigarettes is sure to burn a hole in the pockets of smokers.

Precursors of the Hike

In the past, there have been a lot of awareness missions on the ills of smoking organised by the government and social groups.

Moreover, this hike in excise duty was expected since the tweet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about cutting tobacco consumption in India.

Pros of the Hike

This decision was appreciated by some anti-tobacco lobbies which believe that,

• The rise in price will induce smokers to quit smoking.

• Youngsters who are drawn towards smoking due to peer pressure will be discouraged to do so.

• The hike in price will burn a hole in the pockets of smokers and many will quit smoking.

• There will be a decrease in cases of lung cancer and other diseases caused by smoking.

The Other Side of the Coin

But one wonders if this decision even takes into consideration the psyche of smokers.

Observing the hikes earlier, the tobacco companies presaged that hikes only persuade smokers to vouch for cheaper options, which if considered, are more noxious.

Hiking of excise duty in the past has also led to illegal trade smuggling. This illegal trade smuggling according to The Tobacco Institute of India today reports to 19% in comparison to 17% two years back.

Also, it brought an excise loss of Rs. 6000 crores to the government.

Furthermore, cigarette smokers constitute just 3% of the total smokers as most people smoke Beedies or route to cheaper options.

Keeping this in perspective, the tobacco companies previously raised their focus on sub-65mm cheaper cigarettes.

But these companies hoped that the government was unlikely to come down like a ton of bricks on poor workers who constitute the market for these cigarettes.

What Can Be Done?

The policymakers have to have a systematic view of things and must take into account all the factors that can subvert and undermine the policies.

The need is to take non-conformal actions to curb the consumption instead of coming out with such decisions without giving them a thought.
