Nasruddin Shah needs meditation-lesson from recently freed Hamid Nihal Ansari from Pakistani jails

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It has become a fashion of some celebrities from Muslim community and their supporting pseudo-secularists like most recent case of famous film-actor Nasruddin Shah who was awarded Padma Bhushan by BJP-led Atal Bihari Vajpayee government at the Centre in the year 2003 to defame the country as if Muslims are living in the country in a fear. If it would have been so, rate of population-growth of Muslims would not have been higher than majority Hindus. Interestingly comments from Nasruddin Shah came at a time when recently freed Hamid Nihal Ansari from Pakistani jails and her mother were in full praise for Indian government and Union Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj in extending fullest help the Muslim youth freed from Pakistani jail. Nasruddin Shah who married a Hindu girl after ...

रामानुजन की कोहनी की कहानी

addtop, TOP STORIES, साहित्य संवाद
कैम्ब्रिज के ट्रिनिटी कॉलेज की लाइब्रेरी के किसी कोने में लगभग 50 वर्षों तक पड़े रहने वाले रहस्यमय गणितीय समीकरणों के कुछ पन्ने 'धूल जम जाने' के मुहावरे को सही अर्थों में चरितार्थ कर रहे थे। काली स्याही से हड़बड़ी में लिखे गए रहस्यमय गणितीय समीकरणों वाले उन लगभग 130 पन्नों को पहली नजर में देखने पर निरर्थक समझा जाता था। वर्ष 1976 में पेंसिल्वेनिया स्टेट यूनिवर्सिटी के गणितज्ञ डॉ जॉर्ज एंड्रयूज की नजर एक दिन उन पन्नों पर अचानक पड़ गई और जब उनमें लिखे हुए गणितीय रहस्यों का खुलासा हुआ तो दुनिया चमत्कृत हो गई। इन पन्नों के बारे में ही भौतिक विज्ञानी फ्रीमैन डायसन ने कहा था कि "फूल, जो रामानुजन के बगीचे में पके हुए बीजों से उगे हैं।" इन पन्नों में ही वे गणितीय समीकरण छिपे थे, जिन्हें मशहूर भारतीय गणितज्ञ श्रीनिवास रामानुजन ने मॉक थीटा नाम दिया था। वर्ष 1920 में रामानुजन ने इन समीकरणों को अपनी...

भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों की नयी खोज : शरीर में कैसे तेजी से फैलता है डेंगू वायरस

भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों की नयी खोज : शरीर में कैसे तेजी से फैलता है डेंगू वायरस

addtop, TOP STORIES, विश्लेषण
डेंगू वायरस शरीर को संक्रमित करता है, तो सफेद रक्त कोशिकाएं इससे लड़ने के लिए सक्रिय हो जाती हैं। लेकिन, वायरस सफेद रक्त कोशिकाओं पर आक्रमण करके उन्हें भी संक्रमित कर देता है और वे वायरस को नष्ट नहीं कर पातीं। इस तरह वायरस मनुष्य के प्रतिरक्षा तंत्र को भ्रमित करके दूसरी कोशिकाओं को भी संक्रमित करने लगता है। सफेद रक्त कोशिकाएं लिम्फैटिक प्रणाली के जरिये प्रवाहित होती हैं, इसलिए वायरस पूरे शरीर में तेजी से फैलने लगता है। भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों की एक टीम के नेतृत्व में संयुक्त रूप से किए गए नये अध्ययन में एक खास प्रोटीन की पहचान की गई है, जो एंटी-वायरल साइटोकिन्स को अवरुद्ध करके मानव शरीर में डेंगू और जापानी एन्सेफलाइटिस वायरस को बढ़ने में मदद करता है। डेंगू और जापानी एन्सेफलाइटिस के उपचार के लिए प्रभावी एजेंट विकसित करने में यह खोज उपयोगी हो सकती है। आमतौर पर पूर्ण एंडोथीलियम परत वाली रक्...

Indo-Pak study reveals extensive arsenic problem in Punjab groundwater

Indo-Pak study reveals extensive arsenic problem in Punjab groundwater

TOP STORIES, राज्य
A new survey has shown that there is a major problem of arsenic contamination of groundwater in flood plains of Ravi river on both sides of the India-Pakistan border. The study covered 30,567 wells in 383 villages dotting along both sides of the border and it found that as much as 23 per cent of them had arsenic content higher than the limit set by the World Health Organisation. The problem appeared to be more severe on the Indian side. The researchers tested water samples from 13,000 wells from 199 villages on the Indian side and 17,567 wells from 184 villages on the Pakistan side. But the proportion of wells with higher level of arsenic was more in the Indian villages at 25 per cent. Water samples were tested using a portable field kit. Later a set of sub-samples was also tested in...

Two-rupee coin should be discontinued rather than one-rupee coin

Two-rupee coin should be discontinued rather than one-rupee coin

addtop, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
It refers to media-reports that central government is going to discontinue minting of one-rupee coin because of high minting-cost of rupees 1.11. Any such decision is anti-consumer, and will tend to raise prices of many such commodities which are presently priced at rupee one. Minting-cost is one-time spent on a coin with extra long life. It is ridiculous that central government despite adverse opinion of Reserve Bank of India RBI re-introduced one-rupee note on 06.03.2015 which has high printing cost of much more than rupee one and a very short life only for bureaucratic-craze of having signature on the note which is signed by an officer of Secretary rank while notes of all other dominations bear signature of RBI governor. Central government and RBI should produce coins only in denomin...

Subsidy to encourage e-cars and levy on new cars to discourage: Other measures necessary

Subsidy to encourage e-cars and levy on new cars to discourage: Other measures necessary

addtop, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
It refers to media-reports that central government is planning a heavy subsidy of rupees 50000 on purchase of e-cars while levying levy of rupees 12000 on purchase of new cars to discourage their sale. Both the steps are grossly inadequate to practically discourage sale of traditional cars driven by petrol and diesel. With procurement price of both petrol and diesel being almost same, diesel is priced cheaper because it is used in commercial vehicles. Production of diesel-driven cars is gross misuse of having price of diesel less than that of petrol. There must be a complete ban on production of diesel-cars. All cars must have engines capable of being driven by petrol and CNG both. To discourage production of bigger cars occupying more space in road and parking, GST, road-tax, insura...

99-percent items to be under 18-percent or lower GST-slabs: What about service-sector

99-percent items to be under 18-percent or lower GST-slabs: What about service-sector

TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
It refers to media-reports about lowering GST on many more items so that 99-percent items will be under 18-percent or lower GST-slab as yet other unneeded financial gimmick. It is not proper to reduce GST-slab on items of long-term use like air-conditioners, refrigerators etc because it is one-time payment. Lower GST-slabs are beneficial on items of day-to-day use. But government has never thought of lowering GST-slab on invisible service-sector where it needs urgent lowering from existing 18-percent slab to 12-percent. Such a high rate of GST-slab hurts badly those honest tax-payers where professional service-providers have to pay from their pocket heavy dose of 18-percent GST when those having availed service do not pay GST. For examples even government-departments and TV channels do ...

Malpractices of Banks in respect of credit-cards

Malpractices of Banks in respect of credit-cards

TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
Union government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should take note of malpractices of Banks in respect of credit-cards. Arguments put by Banks to have extra-ordinary interest-rate to overcome heavy cost in credit-card operation is in itself confessional for giving banks permission to levy ‘hidden charges’ to befool customers. Banks can instead levy charges on issuing and transactions made through credit-cards. Even credit-card statements are designed in a manner like ‘Minimum Amount Due’ to befool customers that they put themselves in heavy dose of interest-rate. Banks also resort to malpractice by deliberately not sending credit-cards statements to make customers defaulters forcing them to pay heavy interest-dose apart from penalty. Any shortfall in payment attracts penalty and interest...

Loan-waivers, subsidies and promises directly affecting economy must not be allowed as part of poll-manifestoes

Former Governor of Reserve Bank of India RBI Raghuram Rajan has very rightly raised concern of vote-catching gimmicks like loan-waivers for farmers which very adversely affect the economy and mute middle-class tax-payers, with farmers ultimately at loss by one-time advantage of availing gimmick loan-waiver. There must be a complete ban on such promises like subsidies, loan-waivers etc to be part of poll-manifestoes of political parties. Ultimate sufferer of such loan-waivers is mute category of middle-class tax-payer who has to bear burnt of additional taxes or cost-inflation due to deficit economy caused due to loan-waivers, subsidies or other schemes directly affecting public-exchequers. Even subsidy-system should be fast abolished in a gradual manner. Agricultural income over certain...
