In yet another civic apathy, a 22-year-old man in Maharashtra’s Thane district was run over by a truck after his bike lost balance because of potholes on Sunday. Occurring on the Diva-Agasan road, the shocking incident was caught on a security camera.

Srinagar: The framed photo of a Hindu Goddess hung on a wall. On large trays, sweets meant for sale in the market remained neatly arranged. In a shop, cooked chickpeas were served to people.

All these routine activities of daily life involving nonlocals went on away from the media glare on the all-parties meeting which was convened by the former chief minister and NC president, Farooq Abdullah, at his Gupkar residence on 22 August after the authorities said that those settled here from rest of India can vote in the elections in Jammu and Kashmir.

A few days ago, I was listening to External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar talk about India’s path in a volatile world where nothing is certain anymore as he launched a volume of essays about the country’s soft power called Connecting through Culture , where I co-wrote the first piece with Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on Indian soft power in material and spirit. The minister gave a particularly nuanced speech (and in many ways not at all the usual spiel that one is accustomed to hearing from politicians on occasions like the one I was attending). He said that the book he was releasing was in a sense a ‘good cop’ product. It spoke about all the positive reasons. But soft power operates, said Jaishankar, in a spectrum. At one end was the gentle storytelling, in the middle was influence peddling, and on the other end was dominance and projection of dominance. India, said the minister, mostly played in the gentle storytelling part of the spectrum but it was important, in

New Delhi: A new public awareness campaign on Aadhaar is being planned with a special focus on the Below Poverty Line (BPL) segments as a tool for empowerment and to dissipate negative perceptions being spread by “motivated” parties about Aadhaar number, says the latest document of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). News18 has reviewed the document that speaks of the new awareness campaign, “subtly countering misdirected criticism” of UIDAI on account of security, privacy, the cost to the exchequer, perceived benefits and doubts about the robustness of the biometric technology. It also says that the achievement of “enrolment of over 130 crore residents under Aadhaar in 11 years with no time or cost overrun” is to be highlighted in the new public campaign. The new communication strategy will have the corporate sector as a key target group with the focus being on the capability of Aadhaar number to drive business efficiency and customer satisfaction. “In particular
