Cricket administration's over-reaction to Hardik Pandya's and KL Rahul's comments on chat show on Koffee with Karan, were likely the result of the on-going battle between Cricket India's two competing authorities; BCCI and supreme court appointed CoA. Both have different ideas on how to run the game and the cricketers have been their victims, though not entirely innocent. Bisbo explores these divisions and also questions whether the allegations against the duo are justified. Watch till the end and enjoy the limerick.

Though the harm their infighting can cause cricket, can be immense

There are already sufficient laws in place to ensure that India's internet is not misused. So why is the government wanting to read our every message and know our every conversation? Where is the trust the government should have for its citizens? This interestingly made video explores the proposed changes to the Intermediary Rules 2011 and how they can affect our right to free speech. Have a look and decide for yourself; make sure to watch the end limerick.

Lovestruck and desperate to find his online love in Pakistan's tribal district, Mumbai's Hamid Ansari was caught with fake papers and arrested as a spy. Jailed, tortured and beaten, he spent 6 years in Pakistani jails before efforts by advocates and well-wishers on both sides of the border and pressure from the Indian government and Pakistani courts forced his release. A real life Veer-Zaara. Enjoy.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 02 of 12 January 2017. What do we know of India? How do we speak of India? What is the politics of naming? What is the difference between nation, nation-state, state, and civilization? What would be different in speaking about India as a nation-state as opposed to India as a civilization? What is the politics of the national anthem and the national song? What are the essences by which India is known? Then we move to a discussion of the 'representation' of India? What do we mean by representation and what is its politics? What is the apparatus of interpretation by which India has been understood? How are the ideas that shape our understanding of India Orientalist? What is Orientalism? Orientalism is not just about prejudices. What are the Orientalist ways in which the British thought about India? How are hierarchies established, especially between opposites? How is one colonized? What do social scientists do? How do facts get established as facts? What is Ronald Inden arguing? What is the difference between a textbook view of India and a view of India from the ground?

This lecture concludes my remarks on Orientalism, which is not just (or even much) about the "prejudices" of individuals. What is the place of the late 18th century in generating Orientalism? How did some ideas about the 'Orient' attain an explanatory power? How does Ronald Inden understand Orientalism in relation to India? What were the contradictions and anxieties in classic liberalism's exposition of human freedom? What is the politics of representation? Who speaks for whom? What was the view of India held by James Mill, the father of J S Mill? What is the Orientalist discourse of India? What is the nature of colonization? I then move (at 28:00) to the history of the European presence in India and offer some brief remarks on the Portuguese, the French, the Mughal Empire, and the Gujaratis as traders. How did the Portuguese violate the rules of the Indian Ocean trading world? How does one describe the European phase of Indian history? How did it also eviscerate South-South links? How does knowledge do the work of conquest? Some possible differences between the Spanish conquest of the Americas and the European colonization of Asia (and Africa). How were the British different from the Mughals as rulers of India? The British assumption that their own history could serve as a template for understanding the history of India, especially with respect to religious conflict. Some reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire. The East India Company was the beginning of the modern corporation in some ways, yet there is no memorial to the Company in London. There isn't even a plaque really to the original site of the Company in a city where 'heritage' is celebrated.

This lecture is on the beginnings of the East India Company; we attempt to understand how the British were transformed from traders to rulers. The population of India c. 1700 was around 100 million. Whom did the British encounter -- for example, what does it mean to describe them as encountering 'Hindus'? What led the British to India? What kind of diversity did the British find in India? How did England homogenize itself? The view that the British were sucked into India receives a critical consideration. The East India Company was a profit-making enterprise. But what did the Company have to offer to India? Bullion was sent from England to India in return for indigo, cotton textiles, etc. How did the Company establish itself in India? Where did they build "factories"? What kind of corruption existed in the Company? What was happening in Britain? Growth of the company in Britain and India. What were charter rights? Company takes on Aurangzeb in 1688 and suffers a devastating defeat. Death of Aurangzeb in 1707 ushers in a new chapter. Defeat of the French in India, mid-18th century. How did the British and the French insert themselves into the Indian political space?

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 05 of 24 January 2017 (course at UCLA, Winter Quarter). I talk about the economic history of the East India Company in the first half of the 1700s; the triangular trade between India, China, and Britain; growing demand for tea; opium trade; silver bullion; Nadir Shah's invasion of India, 1739; Marathas--plunder and pillage. My attention then shifts to Bengal, to Murshidabad and Calcutta. Murshidabad was an ecumenical place, highly diverse. I introduce Robert Clive, Siraj-ud-Daulah, and the circumstances that led to Plassey and what is called the "Conquest of Bengal". What is the significance of the "Black Hole of Calcutta"? What is iteration in history mean? How are truth effects generated? How did a certain discourse come into shape? What is Macaulay's comparison of Clive and Napolean? I offer some brief remarks on Clive's trial on charges of extortion, bribery, etc. There is a transfer of the revenue of the 24 Parganas to Clive and the Company. I end with the Battle of Buxar, 1764.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 06 of 26 January 2017 (Winter quarter, UCLA). The focus of this lecture is on the 2-3 decades after the Battle of Buxar, 1764. Company soldiers who refused to follow orders were tied to cannon and their bodies were blown into the air. There was increase in private trading and immense private fortunes were amassed. We look at the painting, 'The East Offering Its Wealth to Britannia', by Spiridione Roma, 1777. Where do I agree with William Dalrymple, and where do I disagree? Did the British Indianize themselves at all? What can we say about the Bengal famine of 1769-71? How did cash crops (opium and indigo dye) contribute to the famine? Did the rite of sati increase with the famine? The Company acquires the right to Diwani, the revenues; and as the Company grows, Parliament will seek to exercise control over it. Administrative structure of the Company, Office of the Examiner of Correspondence, and the assumption of the Governor-Generalship of India by Warren Hastings. I end with a discussion of relations between the British and the court of Awadh and the justification of the annexation much later of Awadh--as an illustration of British policy-making in India.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lec 07 of 31 January 2017 (UCLA). I begin with the East India Company's affairs in India following the conquest; it is a state within a state. The British claim to be bringing a regime of law and order to India. What were the schools of governance that informed British rule in India? The 4four schools were Utilitarianism, Burkeanism, Platonism, Evangelicalism. What were the theories of guardianship and trusteeship? What arguments did Sir William Jones, who is a member of the Supreme Court of Bengal, advance about Sanskrit and Indo-European languages? Why and how were laws pertaining to Hindus and Muhammadans framed differently? Is this the beginning of the deployment of 'religious identity' in India? And how did the British determine which Indian texts were authoritative? and which variant of a text was correct? How did German Biblical criticism become important in assessing the history of Indian texts? I then discuss British conceptions of private property in India and the Permanent Settlement. British rule transferred India from a society based on status to a system based on contract. British rule also led to the collapse of the moral economy.

History of British India (New 2017 Version) Lecture 08 of 2 February 2017 (Spring term, UCLA). I have a detailed discussion of British views on the governance of India in the first half of the 19th century, and in particular the views of John Malcolm, who wrote a note of instructions to officers on how the British ought to govern India and conduct themselves. British tolerance and the rule of law are contrasted with Oriental Despotism. I turn also to John Gilchrist. What should be the relation between the British and Indian servants? What is the place of manners in governance? what were the pillars of British rule in India? What were the relations between the British and native states? What were the military conquests of the British in the 19th century? The Anglo-Afghan Wars did not fully lead to British triumph; indeed, Afghanistan was, and is, the graveyard of empires. Then I turn to the question of education in colonial India; and weigh in on Macaulay's minute on Indian Education of 2 Feb 1835.

19 February, 2019: In a televised address on 19 February, 2019, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan denied his country's involvement in the Pulwama terror attack. Imran Khan's statement comes 5 days after Pak based Jaish-e-Mohammad carried out a suicide attack in which 40 Jawans of CRPF were martyred .

Imran Khan also said that Pakistan will act if evidence is found against anyone in Pakistan but did not utter a word about Pakistan based internationally recognised terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammad which has claimed the responsibility for the dastardly terror attack in Pulwama.

After the Pulwama terror attack India had once again urged the UN to brand Pak based Jaish chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist . India has also to withdraw the Most Favoured Nation , MFN status to Pakistan and sought immediate and verifiable action from Islamabad against Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Date- 18 February, 2019: In the wake of the dastradly terror attack in Pulwama last week carried out by Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad , India has upped the ante against Pakistan on the issue of terror funding by pushing to blacklist the neighbouring country at the plenary meeting of the anti terror finance watchdog Financial Action Task Force , FATF being held in Paris .

Pakistan was placed on the FATF grey list in June , 2018 and put on notice to be blacklisted by October this year if it did not curb money laundering and terror financing . Pakistan was then given a 27 point action plan that was to be implemented by September this year and the same is being monitored by FATF Asia Pacific sub group .

Date- 15 February, 2019: In today's world of manufacturing raw materials are taken from the environment , turned in to new products which are then disposed after use. This is a linear process with a being and an end and in this process limited raw materials will eventually run out. Also waste accumulated in this process incurs additional expenses related to its disposal and pollution .

In a circular economy however products are designed for durability, reuse and recyclability. In this process almost everything is reused, remanufactured, recycled back in to a raw material or used as a source of energy.

Experts say that by embarking on a circular economy transformation, India can build a more resource efficient system even as it continues to grow and scale new heights

Date- 15 February, 2019: A day after over 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed in the deadliest terror attack on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and top ministers held a security review meeting. PM Modi said those behind the terror attack would pay a "very heavy price" and added that they made a "huge mistake". Union Minister Arun Jaitley said the government has decided to take all possible diplomatic steps to ensure "complete isolation" of Pakistan. On Thursday, India had urged the international community to back the naming of Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar as a "UN designated terrorist"; the Pakistan-based terror outfit has claimed the attack. The US has also asked Pakistan to "immediately end support and safe haven to all terrorist groups".

Date- 14 February, 2019: The CAG report on the Rafale deal was tabled in the parliament on the the last day of the Budget Session .The report says that the Inter Govermental contract for the fighter aircrafts done by Modi Govt in 2016 was 2.86 percent cheaper than the one being discussed during the UPA regime .

According to the report the delivery of the aircraft would be faster by a month in the current agreement in comparison to the timelines in the old contract .

The CAG report also says that in the previous offer of 2007 , Dassault Aviation had provided performance and financial guarantees which was about 25 percent of the total value of the contract . The vendor had then embedded the coat in its bid price . But the 2016 contract does not have such guarantee or warrantee . This led to savings for Dassault Aviation which was not passed on to India.

Another report on the offset deals including the offset agreements in the Rafale deal is being prepared separately by the CAG .

Date- 13 February, 2019: 248th Session of the Upper House of Parliament came to an end on Wednesday . However during the 10 sittings of this session the productivity of Rajya Sabha was only 4.79 % with 39 hours and 51 minutes lost out of total 48 hours.

Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu once again expressed his anguish on this issue and in his valedictory address gave a summary of the work done by Rajya Sabha in 18 sessions since June 2014 . During the 328 sittings of the upper house in this period only 154 bills were passed . In terms of the time available and the time utilized for taking up legislative business and the issues of public concern , the average productivity of the upper house was 60 % during this period with 8 sessions out of 18 clocking less than the average.

On the brighter side, despite the disruptions and adjournments several important bills were also passed in the upper house during this period .

Date-12 February, 2019: A legal opinion sought by the Centre on a Law Commission report on the British era sedition law has stated that “Section 124A - sedition as interpreted by the Supreme Court is necessary”. In short, it is unlikely that the IPC section on sedition is diluted or scrapped. In September 2016, the Supreme Court had reiterated that a larger bench had already provided necessary safeguards that should be followed by all authorities, and “every magistrate is bound by what it said in the Kedar Nath case”. It was referring to the order in Kedar Nath Singh vs State of Bihar, 1962, in which a Constitution Bench had ruled in favour of the Constitutional validity of Section 124A, but had added a vital caveat: that a person could be prosecuted for sedition only if his acts caused “incitement to violence or intention or tendency to create public disorder or cause disturbance of public peace”. In August last year, the Law Commission submitted a “consultation paper” to the Centre on the need for changes in the law, pointing out that even the United Kingdom abolished sedition laws ten years ago saying the country did not want to be quoted as an example of one using such draconian laws. A report in the Indian Express said - while a final decision on whether to dilute the law or not is yet to be made public, but various stakeholders including state governments and law enforcement agencies, have expressed the need to retain the law without changes.

Date- 11 February, 2019: Rajya Sabha was adjourned 11 February till 11 AM on 12 February as Congress and TDP members trooped into the Well of the House seeking to raise various issues. Two bills were introduced before Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the House in the morning session. Several opposition members, including from TMC and Congress, protested as External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj introduced the 'The Registration of Marriage of Non-Resident Indian Bill, 2019'. The Chairman, however said the bill was just being introduced. Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram introduced 'The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Third Amendment) Bill, 2019'. Earlier, as soon as the listed papers were laid on the table of the House, members of TDP trooped into the Well demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh. Several Congress MPs too entered the Well. The issues being raised by Congress could not be heard in the din but in Lok Sabha they had raked up the issue of alleged horse-trading in Karnataka by BJP. Law makers from BSP and SP, the two parties which have entered into an alliance for the next Lok Sabha polls, were heard raising the issue of deaths in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand due to consumption of illicit liquor. The Chairman made appeals to the protesting members to return to their seats and not display posters. But his appeals went unheeded following which he adjourned the House.

Date- 8 February, 2019: The Rafale fighter jet deal issue once again acquired centre stage on Friday after a report in english newspaper The Hindu claiming that in 2015 the ministry of Defence had objected to parallel negotiations conducted by the Prime Minister's Office with France for this deal.

The main opposition party raised this matter in the parliament demanding a JPC on the matter. As a result both houses of parliament witnessed disruptions and adjournment. Responding to allegations from the opposition , Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in the lower house all the questions related to the Rafale deal have already been answered by the govt . She also pointed out that the newspaper report does not mention the reply of the then Defence Minister to the defence secretary's comment .

The then Defence Secretary G Mohan Kumar whose comment on the Ministry of Defence note has been cited by the newspaper in its report has said the note had nothing to do with pricing of the Rafale deal and was about sovereign guarantees and general terms and conditions .
