NRI fights for voting rights

BAHRAIN resident Sihas Babu is hoping to rewrite Indian law by winning the right for millions of people to vote.
The 35-year-old has already filed a landmark case in India against an act in the Indian Constitution, which does not allow Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to take part in national or state elections.
Although he is effectively waging a one-man campaign, any victory would be celebrated by Indian expatriates around the globe.
He filed a case in the Kerala High Court against India's Election Comm-ission, the Kerala State Government and Indian Central Government last Monday.
The Indian public can only vote in an election if they live in a constituency in India, while government employees posted abroad are the only expats who can vote.
Mr Babu, a manager at a building materials company, told the GDN he decided to file the case after flying home to vote in recent parliamentary elections, only to find his name had been taken off the electoral roll.
"The clauses in Section 19 and 20 of the Indian Constitution's R P (Representation of the People) Act, 1950, does not allow us NRIs any voting rights if we have been away from India for more than six months," he said.
"I went to Kerala on April 9 to take part in the parliamentary elections but was told that my name had been removed from the list of voters.
"The Election Commission's presiding officer will check with all constituencies if the person is a resident of that particular constituency - this is how my name was removed.
"However, I know of many NRIs whose names are still on the list just because they have the influence with different political parties.
"NRIs play such an important role in developing India and there is so much money coming into the country from Indians working abroad.
"But when it comes to choosing leaders and a government who will be responsible for making decisions affecting NRIs as well, we are nowhere in the picture.
"This is not at all acceptable and it's about time things changed.
"We should also have the right to choose our leaders.
"The government may argue that NRIs are not being allowed to vote to avoid malpractices of voting with a fake identity and double voting.
"But technology is so advanced these days that such practices can be caught or avoided."
Mr Babu claims to be the first person to file a case against the Indian government with a view to overhauling its domestic law.
The court has now given the state and central governments, as well as the Election Commission, a month to respond to the case.
"This law was drafted in 1950 and with changing times, necessary amendments should be made," said Mr Babu.
"I contacted leading Kerala High Court lawyer Kaleeswaran Raj and filed a case on May 25.
"If the concerned parties reject the petition, it is up to the court to pass the verdict of whether to change the clause or not.
"However, if the court rules against me, I will take the case to the Supreme Court of India."
Mr Babu has lived in Bahrain for around 15 years and is now hoping to drum up support for his case among Indian associations and clubs here.

If you feel NRIs should have voting rights and support his move, please generate necessary momentum to this move. Mark your opinion (vote Yes/No) in the poll at the left side of this page.
I believe that all great achievements and success in life, and all changes for the better, have one powerful characteristic in common: The First Step. Take the first step, and the journey has a way of taking care of itself.”

ഉന്നത വിജയത്തിന്റെ സന്തോഷത്തില് സത്യവാഗീശ്വര്
ഉന്നത വിജയത്തിന്റെ സന്തോഷത്തില് സത്യവാഗീശ്വര്
കൊച്ചി: സി.ബി.എസ്.ഇ. പത്താംക്ലാസ് പരീക്ഷാഫലം വന്നപ്പോള് പനമ്പള്ളി നഗറിലെ 'ഗുരുകൃപ'യില് സന്തോഷം നിറഞ്ഞു. ഇവിടത്തെ കൊച്ചുമിടുക്കന് സത്യവാഗീശ്വര് സി.ബി.എസ്.ഇ. ചെന്നൈ റീജണില് ഒന്നാംസ്ഥാനത്തെത്തി. 492 മാര്ക്ക് (98.4 ശതമാനം) നേടിയ സത്യവാഗീശ്വര് ഗിരിനഗര് ഭവന്സ് വിദ്യാമന്ദിറിലെ വിദ്യാര്ത്ഥിയാണ്.
ചെന്നൈ റീജണില് ഉന്നത വിജയം നേടി എന്നറിഞ്ഞപ്പോള് വിശ്വസിക്കാനായില്ലെന്ന് സത്യവാഗീശ്വര് പറഞ്ഞു. 490 മാര്ക്ക് പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. ഇപ്പോള് മനംനിറയെ സന്തോഷവും അധ്യാപകരോടും മാതാപിതാക്കളോടുമുള്ള കടപ്പാടുമാണ് - സത്യ പറയുന്നു. സയന്സാണ് ഇഷ്ടവിഷയം. ആസ്ട്രോ സയന്സില് റിസര്ച്ച് ചെയ്യണമെന്നാണ് ആഗ്രഹം.
സയന്സിനും സോഷ്യലിനും 97ഉം കണക്കിനും ഇംഗ്ലീഷിനും 99ഉം സംസ്കൃതത്തിന് 100 മാര്ക്കും വാങ്ങി എല്ലാ വിഷയത്തിനും 'എ-1' കരസ്ഥമാക്കി. നല്ലൊരു വയലിന് പ്രതിഭകൂടിയാണ് സത്യ. ഭവന്സ് യുവജനോത്സവത്തില് നിരവധി പുരസ്കാരങ്ങള് ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. 2007ലെ എന്.സി.ഇ.ആര്.ടി.യുടെ നാഷണല് ടാലന്റ് സെര്ച്ച് പരീക്ഷയിലൂടെ സത്യക്ക് പിഎച്ച്ഡിവരെയുള്ള സ്കോളര്ഷിപ്പ് ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.

‘Musical extravaganza violates Copyrights Act’
National conference on Copyright Act concludes
Move to make law friendly to developing nations
KOCHI: Should performance by hired disc jockeys or highly-paid popular singers at wedding receptions, common among the well-off classes, be exempted from the copyright law?
No, feels G.R. Raghavender, deputy secretary and registrar of copyrights in the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD). While singing of songs and other music performances during wedding ceremonies is a cultural tradition in India and have been exempted from the law under Section 52(1) (za) of the Act, the musical extravaganza at wedding receptions needs to be brought under the copyright law, he says.

“There is a need for making a distinction between normal music performance during a wedding reception and the performance by disc jockeys or video jockeys or film actors and popular singers engaged through event managers by paying substantial amounts of remuneration,” Mr. Raghavender argued at a national conference on copyright law’s limitations and exceptions. “The latter is in conflict with normal exploitation of the work by the author or right holder.”
Section 52 (1) (za) (which exempts “the performance of a literary, dramatic or musical work or the communication to the public of such work or of a sound recording in the course of any bona fide religious ceremony or an official ceremony held by the Central Government or the State Government or any local authority”) also keeps wedding procession and other social festivities, which are defined as part of religious ceremony, out of the ambit of the Copyright Act.
(The Copyright Act protects literary and dramatic works, musical works, artistic works, including maps and technical drawings, photographs and audiovisual works, among other things. The rights recognised by copyright include the right to copy or otherwise reproduce a work; the right to perform it; the right to make a film or sound recording of the work; the right to communicate it to the public by broadcasting it or other means; the right to translate it and the right to make adaptations of it.)
Mr. Raghavender pointed out that the 1994 amendment to the Indian Copyright Act 1957 permitting wedding processions and other social festivities associated with marriage under the cover of religious ceremonies was criticised by some people. They had argued that marriage was a social institution, not a religious one. To them, since marriage itself was not associated with religion, the inclusion of wedding procession and other social festivities as part of religious ceremony was fallacious. They had also argued that ostentation and heavy spending on music performance at wedding receptions were undesirable and hence it was okay that the copyright owners were paid their due for the performance of music or sound recordings.
Mr. Raghavender, however, felt that while wedding and related festivities were essentially religious in nature, the expensive music and other lavish entertainment should be covered by the copyright law.
The two-day national conference, organised by the Cochin University of Science and Technology and sponsored by the Union Human Resource Development Ministry, ended here recently with recommendations to make the law friendly to the needs of the developing countries.

‘Musical extravaganza violates Copyrights Act’
National conference on Copyright Act concludes
Move to make law friendly to developing nations
KOCHI: Should performance by hired disc jockeys or highly-paid popular singers at wedding receptions, common among the well-off classes, be exempted from the copyright law?
No, feels G.R. Raghavender, deputy secretary and registrar of copyrights in the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD). While singing of songs and other music performances during wedding ceremonies is a cultural tradition in India and have been exempted from the law under Section 52(1) (za) of the Act, the musical extravaganza at wedding receptions needs to be brought under the copyright law, he says.

DUBAI — Girls have once again outshone boys in the India’s Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Grade 12 examinations, bagging top positions in all three streams of Science, Humanities and Commerce.

Gulf Students Outshine their Indian Peers in School Examinations
Afshan Ahmed, KHALEEJ TIMES
DUBAI — Students in the Gulf have outperformed their Indian counterparts with a record of 93.23 pass percentage in the Grade XII examinations of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The CBSE announced the results for the Gulf region on Friday.
According to Indian media reports, the overall pass percentage in the region recorded a marginal increase of 0.63 per cent from last year. The overall pass percentage in India stands at 81 per cent with an increase of 0.09 per cent from last year.
Around 3,480 students from 40 schools appeared for their Grade XII examinations that commenced on March 2 from the UAE. Toppers in the country have recorded 96 per cent marks in Science, 95.6 per cent in Commerce and 91.4 per cent in Humanities.
“Students in the Gulf are getting much better. Schools here set high standards and benchmarks for students to achieve. There is always a conscious responsibility to drive performance with our teachers committing themselves to student enrichment,” said Dr Farooq Wasil, principal of Our Own English High School, Sharjah whose Cutee Bhalla became UAE topper in the Commerce stream.
“We have surpassed our previous results with girls emerging as top scorers,” said Ashok Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, Indian High School (IHS) Dubai. — afshan@khaleejtimes.com

An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - Anil Pakale
An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - Anil Pakale
My Motto(s) in life : My aim would be to help everyone around me, to stay calm, spread the message of brotherhood.
Remember, Mother Teresa. Treat everyone, be it rich or poor, at par.
When you do good, it brings in precious great feeling that is in fact pure happiness. When you do for yourself, it does bring in some happiness of fulfilment. However, it is far too less when it is done for others.
Respect every individual that comes across you and show that you care for his values and opinions. This will make them feel comfortable in interacting with us.
Environment comes next. We have to inculcate habits and practise what is best for the environment. We have to hand over the world to our kids in a better shape than it is today. There is a lot that needs to happen on that front. Each one of us must make cohesive efforts in that direction. There is no option. Or else, we will see survival war amongst human beings. It is possible to change the direction of the world. We must all play our part.
Now that I have achieved what I wanted for myself, I am now going to devote all my life for serving the community keeping in mind the above values and try to reach it to many whom I come in contact with my day to day life through my own simple possible ways and means. We are all guests in this material world and there is no reason why we should be getting into conflicts. We do not need much for living. Yet, we strive to get more and more. This must stop once for all. We must try to be content with what the almighty has given us and live a life that is full of Peace and Happiness. It is not difficult. I will be devoting all my time in spreading the message to all my friends. And when everyone who reads this, does the same to their friends, we will all be in for a beautiful world.
Good feelings will bring in great values in life free of any stress and nervousness. Health will automatically be at it’s best when we all are sound in our minds.
Mr. Anil Pakale, a BE (Mech) from VJTI Mumbai (1986 batch) and studied MFM ( from JBIMS) before opting to move to UAE. Currently working as Sales Manager – Large tonnage chillers at Johnson Controls (ranked 58 in fortune 500 list). Anil is an active member (past secretary / president / treasurer/ committee member) of Maharashtra Mandal and also an active member of IDEA. He played lead role in organising UAE Open Quiz contest. Primarily a sports person, he love to play Cricket, Table Tennis, Carrom, Swimming, Gym, Bridge. Professionally, he has won many prizes including Presidents Merit (Johnson Controls) Award in 2006 and Master of Sales Excellence Award in 2007.
Anil lives in Abu Dhabi with his wife Priya Pakale, and daughter Jaai Pakale. Priya is a banker working for National Bank of Bahrain in Credit dept. She is a choreographer for all the Maharashtra Mandal cultural programmes in Abu Dhabi and has been conducting Bharatnatyam, Cinematic dance and Folk Dance classes for past 15 years. Jaai is a Grade 8th student of Abu Dhabi Indian School. She is an excellent swimmer and have won 2 bronze medals at all India CBSE swimming championships held at Baroda - India in November 2008.

Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Jen Gerson, THE NATIONAL Last Updated: May 20. 2009
Education officials announced an online questionnaire yesterday allowing parents to comment on their children’s schools.
“This is the first step towards the instillation of the culture of transparency between the school, the home and Abu Dhabi Education Council,” said Mughair Khamees al Khabeeli, the general director of Adec, which is conducting the survey.
“The questionnaire covers all the aspects of the education paradigm in Abu Dhabi schools.”
The site asks parents whether the questionnaire should be offered permanently and what makes them satisfied with their school’s performance.
“Based on optional answers, the questionnaire covers such aspects as the school environment, curricula, administrative and teaching staff performance, communication between parents and schools, equipment and amenities,” Mr al Khabeeli said. The results of a similar survey were released this month.
Adec said 70 per cent of parents were satisfied with the schools. That survey queried almost 5,000 parents, who were asked to grade a variety of factors.
The results of a similar survey of Dubai parents were recently released by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
The questionnaire can be found at www.adec.ac.ae, according to the state news agency WAM.
http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090521/NATIONAL/705209803/1010
To participate in the survey, visit: http://www.adec.ac.ae/en/default/survey.html
Comments: The survey is very detailed and there are options to include the name of school and your own telephone number and email to get the result of this survey. It is therefore advisable to participate in this TQM opportunity provided by Abu Dhabi Education Council.

Adec said 70 per cent of parents were satisfied with the schools. That survey queried almost 5,000 parents, who were asked to grade a variety of factors.
The results of a similar survey of Dubai parents were recently released by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
The questionnaire can be found at www.adec.ac.ae, according to the state news agency WAM.

To participate in the survey, visit: http://www.adec.ac.ae/en/default/survey.html
Comments: The survey is very detailed and there are options to include the name of school and your own telephone number and email to get the result of this survey. It is therefore advisable to participate in this TQM opportunity provided by Abu Dhabi Education Council.

Safety in the Heat Plan Launched
‘Safety in the Heat’ Plan Launched
Olivia Olarte 21 May 2009 KHALEEJ TIMES
ABU DHABI — A comprehensive safety regime programme aimed at creating awareness and enhancing health and safety of workers who are exposed to high temperatures and humidity during the summer months was launched in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The ‘Safety in the Heat’ programme, launched by the Heath Authority-Abu Dhabi (HAAD) in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour (MoL) for the first time in the UAE, targets those who work in the construction, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing and heavy industry sectors.
“HAAD and MoL are strongly supporting this programme and want to see this rollout and implemented to as many companies in Abu Dhabi as possible. Companies and organisations from other emirates and countries in the region are welcome to participate in the programme,” Dr Jens Thomsen, Section Head, Occupational and Environmental Health at HAAD, told company representatives at the launch.
The programme will support employers through offering a comprehensive package of educational and awareness materials in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam. It focuses on the prevention of heat-related illnesses such as rash, cramps, exhaustion and heat stroke caused by exposure to the hot environment.
The ‘Safety in the Heat’ recommendations are validated by HAAD and are applicable to workers in Abu Dhabi and the GCC region.
The programme has been developed following a two-year scientific research by the UAE University and Curtin University of Technology in Australia, sponsored by HAAD and participated by select companies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
A few hundred workers were engaged in these studies which include monitoring the workers’ heart rate for three continuous days, measuring their hydration status, recording of workers’ core temperature throughout the work shift and documenting environmental conditions.
“We found that the hydration status of the workers when they come to work is generally poor, and they tend to stay that way during the day... there is a lack of general awareness among employers and workers on how to prevent heat illness,” said Dr Graham Bates, Medical Physiologist from Curtin University of Technology.
The heat management programme also introduces a new heat stress index called Thermal Work Limit (TWL), which was developed by Dr Bates. TWL monitors all environmental factors such as the dry bulb, radiant heat, wind speed and humidity to assess working conditions and determine the thermal risk to the employee.
In addition to the protection of workers, the programme is also aimed at improving productivity of companies and reduce the time loss due to injuries by workers, said Dr Bates.

My Letters - THE NATIONAL - Lifts to carry pedestrians to safety
Dear Sirs,
This is an interesting topic which I have vehemently followed since the time this new innovation was installed. I read with interest the progressive measures planned by the authorities. My concern is how many incidents will have to be watched or heard till the time it is implemented. In fact even this morning, I witnessed with utmost shock the passage of an employee to one of the offices in Abu Dhabi Mall, talking on the mobile ignoring the ongoing truck traffic. The driver and luckily other drivers had enough time to respond and a fatality was avoided. I strongly feel that the delay to ongoing truck traffic by reducing the flow duration will be minimal as the traffic flow is not that heavy when compared to other areas. In addition, the longer the duration of the signal in front of the mall for traffic, the higher the tendency to speed up for cars and many times the stretch from Beach Rotana to Le Meridien Hotel looks like a racing track for some. Several attempts to highlight this danger has been responded lightly despite of clear conviction by every one that there is danger waiting out there. Some emergency measures should be taken as this is one of the busiest and most heavily used pedestrian crossing in the city, and that too in front of the most frequented mall by the youth. I hope we are pro-active to a danger rather than reactive to one, after it happens.
In reference to Mr. Bowler's comments on this dangerous crossing, as regular viewer of things happening out there, I feel it will be impossible to post police or specially trained guards on 24 hrs duty. Because, many times, I have seen police warden fining those who cross carelessly and the moment they move from there, the process repeats. However, countdown time is an option, which could be tested, as it will give them a definite time to wait.
Best regards,
Ramesh Menon

SAARC UAE Exchange Xpress Money Cup 2009 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium Abu Dhabi
SAARC UAE Exchange Xpress Money Cup 2009 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium Abu Dhabi .
In the exciting finals, in which Pakistan Ambassador's XI batted first, they scored 166 runs in the alloted 15 overs. Kashif Butt, who was consistant throughout this tournament scored 39 runs and Razik Khan scored 55 in quick time. For India XI, Jayaprakash was the pick of the bowlers and returned with match figures of 2-24. It was Naeemuddin's turn then for Indian Ambassador's XI with some hard hits over the fence for his 61 not out. His overall performance with bat and ball earned him the Man of the Match award and India XI reached the target easily with 3 balls remaining.A few interesting moments from the evening.
