    US backs India’s rise as great power: senior State Department official

    Washington: The US supports India’s rise as a great power, and this will be central to ensuring American interests in the years ahead, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s high-level talks with President Joe Biden at the White House.

    Underlining that India and the US see each other as key security partners in the Indo-Pacific and partners of first resort, the official said that the bilateral relationship “is deeper and more expansive than ever.”

    “The US supports India’s rise as a great power, and this will be central to ensuring US interests in the years ahead,” said the official on condition of anonymity. The official said that some “exciting announcements” are expected on space exploration during Prime Minister Modi’s visit, besides business, education and travel cooperation.

    When asked about some of the industrial packages that might be announced after Modi-Biden talks, the official said, “I don’t want to get ahead of the announcements that will be made tomorrow, but some of the technology we’re discussing, I hope that you’ll see tomorrow, is a real vote of confidence for this relationship and India’s capacity as a defence manufacturer. What you will hear tomorrow are announcements about (co-production) of military systems.”

    On India’s reliance on Russian arms, the official said, “In 2008 we had essentially sold nothing to India; but in 2020 that was USD 20 billion, and it’s rising exponentially every year. We’re not alone – many other partners are working in India, increasingly on the same terms we are – co-production and co-development. At the same time, you see cancellations of major systems from Russia because (we know) Russia cannot provide it.”

    The official said that India is in the process of diversifying its dependence on any (single) supplier.

    When asked about the Ukraine conflict and whether India can play the role of a mediator, the official said that over the last several months there has been some shift on the Indian position on the war in Ukraine.

    “India has a long history of relations with Russia. They have interests with Russia that go back many, many decades. I think it’s a positive thing that Modi has said that this must be settled through dialogue and diplomacy. What I think you’ll also see is that, while the US and India differ on our exact policies on Russia and Ukraine, we share a belief that this must be settled through diplomacy and must end in a lasting peace according to the UN Charter and its founding principles,” the official added.

    Since the Ukraine conflict began in February last year, Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a number of times during which he insisted that the conflict should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy.

    Answering a question on India’s purchase of discounted oil from Russia, the official said that there have been many times in the past that India has bought Russian crude at half the price. “If we as a global community are looking to deprive Russia of resources to fight its war in Ukraine – somebody is going to buy that oil, I’d rather it be someone buying it at very low prices,” the official added.

    When asked if the US was on the same page with India about now not being the time for diplomacy in the conflict, the official said, “What the Indian government has said – let me just quote what I read from the Indian government – a settlement based on diplomacy and dialogue, and based on the UN Charter and its founding principles. For me, that means territorial integrity and sovereignty. Indians might characterise that in a million ways, but that’s what I hear when I hear Indians say that.”

    Responding to a question, the official confirmed that China will come up during the discussion. “Of course, for (India) and the US, part of thinking about our defence is how we prevent any country from having dominance over the international system. That has nuances for China but it’s not only China – it’s about allowing Asia to be free and open, allowing sea lanes to be free and open.”

    On the issue of human rights, the official said that the US has had at every level, including the highest levels, frank and constructive discussions about the issue.

    “As a genuine partner and friend in India, we speak (honestly) and constructively about our differences. We have raised our human rights and religious freedom concerns regularly to senior government officials. We do this in an atmosphere of mutual respect. It’s important that we support all pillars of Indian democracy – to that end, we regularly meet with civil society and journalists,” the official said.

    Children in this country know how to use the phone, do not go to the toilet!

    Relationship with public | If a child knows how to use a phone, he must also know how to use a toilet. Almost everyone accepts this. But there is a country where even at the age of 11 children are going to school wearing diapers. These children do not know how to use the toilet.

    The case is of Switzerland. School teachers here complain that many students come to class wearing diapers because they do not know how to use the toilet.

    Dagmar Rössler, head of the Swiss Federation of Teachers, told the local newspaper, “Children start going to school around the age of 4, but you will see many still using diapers,” the New York Post reported. But when 11-year-old children start coming to school wearing diapers, it is a matter of concern.

    Many children have become so used to wearing diapers that they deliberately do not use the toilet or have forgotten. Parents themselves are not teaching this thing to their children. There are training sessions for this in the country, but they do not take children there.

  • The video of the Muslim family being driven away from the ghat created a ruckus as soon as it went viral

    The video of the Muslim family being driven away from the ghat created a ruckus as soon as it went viral

    The video of Agrasen Ghat of Haridwar located in Haridwar, Uttarakhand is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this video, a Hindu youth is asking a Muslim family to leave the ghat. In the video, the young man is saying that the river Ganges belongs only to Hindus. As soon as this video went viral, its discussion became caged on social media.

    Police has now taken cognizance of this video going viral on social media. The case of evicting a Muslim family from Ganga Ghat caught fire after the video was broadcast. When the demand for action was raised on Facebook, Twitter etc. platforms, the police found the accused youth, but the victim’s family could not be traced. The accused turned out to be a contract worker of Shivalik Municipality. The police thrashed him fiercely and after counseling let him off with a warning.

    These days, along with the devotees coming on the Chardham Yatra, the local people also turn to the Ganga Ghats in large numbers to get relief from the heat. There is a lot of activity in the whole of Haridwar on the ghats of Ganga and Ganga Nahar, especially in the evening. Three to four days back a Muslim family was sitting at the Agrasen Ghat in central Haridwar. The family consisted of two men, a woman and children. Then a young man reached there and abusing them asked them to leave the ghat. The young man said that Ganga Ghat is not for you. The family also tried to convince him, but the young man did not agree and kept asking them to leave the ghat.

    Not only this, the young man also started warning not to come to the ghat again. At the same time someone made a video of the incident. This video was circulating on local WhatsApp groups for several days. In which the accused youth was clearly visible at the Ganga Ghat, abusing Muslim families and driving them away. The matter caught fire on Monday and Tuesday.

    When the police of Jwalapur and Kankhal police station investigated on the basis of the video, the accused youth turned out to be a resident of Jwalapur Gol Gurdwara area.

Kankhal Police Station President Nitesh Sharma said that at present no complaint has been received in this matter, the accused youth has been identified and warned.

    The entry of non-Hindu is prohibited only at Harki Paidi. Apart from this, there is no such system or order for any Ganga Ghat or any public place, in which there is a ban on the movement of any non-Hindu. Apart from Harki Paidi, people of all religions have always been coming and going on almost all the Ganga Ghats. Muslims also bathe at Gangnahar Ghats, especially in Jwalapur, which has a mixed population. Never before has such an incident come to the fore on any Ganga Ghat.
