Arduous (Difficult to accomplish) road to exoneration (defending against criticism)
The acquittal of railway minister Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi in the disproportionate assets case is another reminder of the value of the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. For years Mr. Prasad was demonized (Make into a demon) by his political detractors as an epitome (A standard or typical example) Of corruption and of everything that was wrong in backward Bihar. Although he faces six cases in fodder scam, he can with justification now claim that he was from the beginning a victim of the politics of allegations and insinuations(The act of gaining acceptance e.g. She refused to use insinuation in order to gain favor ). With the special central bureau of investigation court pronouncing him innocent, the fodder scam cases too are likely to be weakened. The “disproportionate assets” of rs.46 lakh where to have been linked to the “ill-gotten gains” from the fodder scam. In the name of cleaning up political system, leaders of most political parties have tend to not only discredit their rivals the moment a corruption charge emerges but also call for laws to disqualifying them from contesting elections to the legislatures. Mr. Prasad himself had to resign as the chief minister of Bihar in 1997 in the wake of allegations in the fodder scam. The dangers of such politics are self-evident. In a system where, in practice, both the investigating and the prosecuting agencies follow the dictates of those in political office, those in power are only too likely to resort to filing charges and framing cases against their political opponents. It is imperative of sound political practice that a person against whom a credible case of wrongdoing is made out and charges are framed should not cling to office. That belongs to the realm of political morality that all parties would do well to follow. Yet any law that forces persons facing charges out of office before a fair trial lays itself open to the risk of manipulation. In a multi-party system as India, where different parties are in power in the center and in the states, such a law is even more vulnerable to misuse.
Editorial - An article giving opinions or perspectives
Nuclear power key to meeting energy needs: US Washington, Dec. 21 (PTI): Noting that India, China and the US are facing similar challenges on the energy front, a senior Bush administration official has said nuclear power is a "very key component" in meeting the growing energy needs of the developing nations and the world of the future.
"We strongly believe that in order to meet the growing appetite of the world, particularly the developing world, nuclear power is a very key component to meeting the needs of the developing world and the world of the future," Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs at the Department of Energy Karen Harbert told reporters.
She said $ 20 trillions will be needed in investments in the field between now and 2030. "Of this $ 4 trillion will be heading the way of China and an estimated $ 1 trillion to India".
She was giving a presentation on the recent trip to China of the Energy Secretary Sam Bodman for the Strategic Dialogue and pariticpation in an Energy Ministerial consisting of the United States, China, India, Japan and South Korea.
"We have improved greatly the technology that is available. It is increasingly proliferation resistant, certainly emissions free technology which is important to an economy like India which has been blessed like coal just like China and the US but it has environmental concerns," she said.
"And so China, India and the US have also agreed to collaborate on a project like FutureGen which is, if successful, the first emissions free coal fired power plant.
"It will be built here in the US but the governments of India and China have said they would join. It would completely revolutionise the way that electricity is generated in countries by coal," Harbert said.
Observing that India, China and the US are all facing very similar challenges, the senior official said "we are in different stages of development, have different resource bases...we all seek similar solutions which is access to clean coal technology and improved access to proliferation resistant nuclear power technology".
"The countries also seek better use of energy and also of course we are all looking at the future of the different types of transportation fuel--ethanol, hydrogen--and we are all partnering in different research effort to find that long term solution that we know is out there," she said.
Harbert was asked to comment on the fact that even in terms of the United States-India civilian nuclear deal the argument had been made in some quarters that the output is going to be no more than a fraction of what India needed.
"There is not a single silver bullet here.You cannot say that the world can have nuclear power and so we do not need solar, we do not need wind, hydrocarbons. We need it all and all of it will have a contribution and there is no singular solution.
"It may only be a fraction but all of the fractions are adding up and that is the important thing to keep in mind. And over time our energy center is going to shift. There is going to be less hydrocarbons and more renewables. But it is not going to happen overnight.But we have to make these investments now. Energy projects are long term, very complex and they take time to bring on line," she said.
Though it is a small fraction, the official said it will grow over time and it is important that we look at those resources that are emissions free and nuclear of course is emissions free and environmentally friendly.
"It has a big appeal.And if we are able to find ways to re-cycle or re-process nuclear fuel... the growth of nuclear over the long long term would be much more significant than the small percentage we anticipate now," the senior official said.
Harbert pointed out that of the US$ 20 Trillions in investments needed between now and 2030, the breakdown is about 60 per cent for electricity and rest for oil and gas.
Mr. Ram, Chief Editor of The Hindu, the following message has told in editorial section of yesterday's newspaper.
Please Read this message friends with dictionary. Because, we will get meaning for new words which will improve our vocabulary.
I hope, Everyone will do this one.
The message was,
The Indian press is two centuries old, 223 years old to be exact (if we take the launch of James Augustus Hickey's Bengal Gazette on January 29, 1780 as the founding date). Its strengths have largely been shaped by its historical experience and, in particular, by its association with the freedom struggle as well as movements for social emancipation, reform and amelioration. The long struggle for independence; controversies and battles over social reform, radical and revolutionary aspirations and movements; compromising as well as fighting tendencies; and the long-term competition between self-serving and public service visions of journalism - all these have found reflection in the character and performance of the Indian press over the long term.
No issues of the newspaper from the first three years have survived as far as we know. Fortunately, we have the text of the first editorial titled "Ourselves". Not surprisingly for the times, no radical vision of freedom for India informed this leader. Indeed the founders of The Hindu identified for themselves a middle ground between "altogether [ignoring] the superiority of Western rule" and "cry[ing] down everything native... and [advocating] as a rule the preferability of Western institutions to those of our country." But the remarkable thing about the editorial was not the identification of such a middle ground. It was the clear-sighted and bold formulation of a role for a weekly starting with a print run of 80 copies - as the creator, regulator and moulder of public opinion. Attributing the absence of public opinion to "the want of a well conducted native press to which the public may look to regulate their opinion," the first editorial proclaimed that "the Press does not only give expression to public opinion but also modify and mould it according to circumstances. It is this want that we have made bold to attempt to supply
Today the news media have become fairly big business. Journalism has become a high profile profession that draws its share from the national talent pool, even if it is not among the professions offering the highest monetary rewards. The reach of newspapers in society has grown impressively. Daily newspaper circulation is approaching the 60 million mark (if we accept the somewhat inflated circulation figures reported, under the law, to the Registrar of Newspapers in India). According to the latest National Readership Survey, there were 156 million readers of daily newspapers in India in 2002. While the absolute number is gigantic, it must be seen in social context, against the 500 million Indian adults who do not read any daily newspaper, among them 248 million literates or neo-literates. There is also uneven dispersion of newspapers between men and women, urban and rural readers, and among social classes.
