Jaipur (PTI): Ra-
jasthan Art and Culture
Min Dr BD Kalla on Sat-
urday urged the Central
govt to implement the
recommendations of
Sanskrit Commission
set up by United Pro-
gressive Alliance gov-
ernment.
He was addressing a
programme at Ra-
jasthan Sanskrit Acad-
emy here.
“Vedas are science,
not books and the world
can be benefited by the
use of the knowledge
contained in it,” the
minister said.
He described the Ve-
das as an invaluable
heritage of world litera-
ture, adding, “The wel-
fare of the world can be
achieved by using the
knowledge contained in
it. The Veda is not a
book, it is a science.”
Kalla said Sanskrit,
the language of Vedas,
presents one of the
greatest examples of
secularism. “The San-
skrit language is the
lifeblood,” he added.
Jaipur: To know of
its real standing on
the grassroots, Con-
gress has got a secret
survey done. Accord-
ing to sources, AICC
and State Cong got
their survey done at
their own level. How-
ever, along with this,
a survey was also
done at an independ-
ent level also. There
is talk of changing at
least 50 tickets in the
survey
, some of them
can be changed due to
age limit. Besides,
three secret surveys
in Raj in past were
conducted after Old
Pension Scheme
(OPS) was imple-
mented. When the
internal rebellion
was flourishing in
Cong, then strategy
of survey was made
to find as to what
would be the strategy
if the situation of re-
bellion persists. —FIB

deteriorating health. A
division bench of Jus-
tices Ajay Rastogi and

a response from the

petition, Asaram has
referred to a case filed

Govt school students are yet to receive the promised milk
powder as part of their mid-day meal. As part of the notifica-

benefit from the scheme. The state government had also
entered into an agreement with the Dairy Federation which
was to provide the milk powder for the scheme at the rate of
Rs 400 a kg. However, it seems the scheme is restricted to
bureaucratic files as nothing has happened on the ground.

am eighteen years older
than Independent India. I re-
member vividly keeping
awake till midnight of 14/15
August 1947 to listen to Jawa-
harlal Nehru’s never to be
forgotten speech.
“Long years ago we made
tryst with destiny, and now
the times comes when we
shall redeem our pledge, not
wholly or in full measure,
but very substantially
. At the
stroke of the midnight hour,
when the World sleeps, India
will awake to life and free-
dom. A moment comes,
which comes but rarely in
history, when we step out
from the old to the new, when
an age ends and when the
soul of a nation long sup-
pressed finds utterance. It is
fitting that at this solemn
moment we take the pledge
of dedication to the service
of India and her people and
to the larger cause of hu-
manity…”
This was great and mov-
ing English, but 80% Indians
did not understand it. Nehru
also disregarded the fact
that half of the world was
wide awake. A majority of
the members of the Constit-
uent Assembly present in
the Central Hall of Parlia-
ment understood English.
The applause was thunder-
ous. That speech of Nehru
lives in our hearts and
minds.
India of 2022 is spectacu-
larly different from the India
of 1947. There is one vital ele-
ment that has remained ac-
tive, unchanged- Democracy
.
That miracle has been en-
dowed to the nation by the
people of India, not by its
elite. The Indian Freedom
Movement under the unique
leadership of Mahatma Gan-
dhi was one among the his-
torical and unforgettable
events of the 20th century.
India’s freedom movement
inspired other countries un-
der British, French, Dutch,
Portuguese and Spain’s im-
perial/colonial rule.
In 1947 Africa had three
independent countries,
South of Sahara, Ethiopia,
South Africa- dedicated to
perpetual white rule, even
though three fourth of the
population was non-white.
The third was Liberia. Sev-
eral African leaders admired
Gandhiji, Kenneth Kaunda
of Zambia, Kwame Nkrumah
of Ghana, Chief Lithuli of
South Africa. Ahmed Kath-
rada, a colleague of Mandela,
all mention Gandhiji in their
memoirs. Kathrada spent 27
years in jail with Mandela.
He writes, “My own views on
multiculturalism are best
summed up in a passage by
Gandhiji: I want the culture
of all lands to be blown about
my house as freely as possi-
ble. But I refuse to blown off
my feet by any
.”
Kwame Nkrumah of Gha-
na led the freedom struggle
in his colonised country by
following Gandhian meth-
ods, “I described Positive Ac-
tion as the legitimate and
constitutional means….
Non-cooperation based on
the principle of absolute
non-violence as used by Gan-
dhi in India.” Lech Walesa,
the Polish leader of the
movement called, “Solidari-
ty” and future President
mentions Gandhiji several
times in his Autobiography;
“The Struggle and the Tri-
umph”. I met him in Warsaw
and in New Delhi, when he
paid a state visit to India.
How do I see the future of
India. Unlike the chronic
pessimists and congenital
grumblers, I am confident of
a brighter future for our
country. India will become a
world power, working in a
balanced way for the estab-
lishment of World peace and
goodwill. Poverty will be-
come a memory and so will
joblessness. It goes to the
credit of the Modi Govern-
ment that not a single seri-
ous communal riot has oc-
curred in the past decade.
I do not have time for
those of our country men
and women who rush to the
United States. After com-
pleting their education a
majority accept the status
of second class citizens.
One or two make it to State
Legislatures or House of
Representatives. Some suc-
ceed in business, but moth-
er India is no longer a prior-
ity. They encounter not so
subtle racism and put up
with it. Some even acquire
various kinds of accents,
which sound phoney and
grating. They have made
their choice. Good luck, but
no respect from this corner.
Indian I was born and Indi-
an I shall die.
CLIMATE CHANGE
The world has ignored cli-
mate change at its peril.
Look what havoc climate
change is playing in Europe,
UK, USA. Things are going
to get worse. Glaciers will
melt, on the other hand
draught could become chro-
mic, sea levels will rise with
devastating results. The
wakeup call can no longer be
ignored.
RUSHDIE WOUNDED
Salman Rushdie is among
the greatest novelists of the
20th century. “Midnight’s
Children” is a classic. He
was grievously wounded by
a fanatic Muslim youth and
is fighting for his life. I wish
him an early recovery.

DHARMA SANSAD
PRESSES AHEAD
WITH HINDU
RASHTRA AGENDA
he Dharma Sansad is
back with a contro-
versial agenda once
again. A draft pre-
pared by a group of
seers who met recently men-
tions two important points
which propose Varanasi as the
capital of Hindu Rashtra. The
other is the magnanimity to-
wards Muslims and Christians
by allowing them to stay like
commoners but without the
right to franchise! Hindus,
Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists will
have the right to franchise. The
Dharma Sansad’s draft will be
taken up for approval at its
meeting in the Sangam City,
Prayagraj, during the Magh
Mela. A new constitution is also
being proposed for the Hindu
Rashtra, the idea of which was
mooted last year, which will
have a parliament of religions.
The draft proposals make the
future of politicians and the
idea of India look bleak. The
proposals may end up hurting
the sentiments of minorities but
that’s not relevant for the group
bent on changing the nation’s
profile. One should not expect
the proposals to be amended.
TOP TWEETS
T
cclaimed author
Salman Rushdie
is on a ventilator
and could lose an
eye following a
shocking incident of multiple
stabbing 33-years after the
publicationof SatanicVerses.
He also suffered a wound to
his liver. Poor security at the
literary event in New York
State was to be blamed for the
assailant getting easy access
to the target, Rushdie. After
attack on Rushdie and mur-
der of two Hindus in India for
sharing Nupur Sharma’s ob-
jectionable statement on
Twitter, there’s every reason
for Taslima Nasreen, another
author who has taken on the
hardliner mullahs, to be wor-
ried. As for Nupur Sharma,
the security around her needs
to be vigilant 24x7. These in-
cidents show the extent of
extremism to which an indoc-
trinated Muslim can go and
there’s a need for saner ele-
ments to step forward.
Salman Rushdie went into
hiding in 1989 after a fatwa
calling for his death was is-
sued by Ayatollah Khomeini,
the late leader of Iran who
found his book blasphemous.
Because the edict was issued
by the Ayatollah, nobody
could rescind it as per the Ira-
nian law. The book was
banned in several countries,
including India, for its anti-
Prophet contents. Besides the
edict, the India-born author
carried a reward of $3.3 mil-
lion on his head.
When the Rajiv Gandhi
government banned Satanic
Verses he faced strong criti-
cism from the Left liberals
who viewed it as an attack on
freedom of expression. The
right wingers called it ap-
peasement of minorities.
Now the BJP finds itself in
an almost similar situation
with Nupur Sharma. Free-
dom of expression is indeed
contentious.

New Delhi (ANI):
Thousands of Indian
students who had come
back from China after
the outbreak of COV-
ID-19 may now soon get
a chance to resume
their education as the
first batch comprising
many such youngsters
could soon leave for
the neighbouring
country, Chinese Am-
bassador Sun Weidong
said Saturday.
The governments of
both countries are
working in tandem to
ensure that the stu-
dents can complete
their education.
“China welcomes In-
dian students. The first
batch of Indian stu-
dents to resume studies
in China in the near
future. Concerned de-
partments of both
countries are working
together,” said Wei-
dong, Chinese Ambas-
sador to India.
Indian medical stu-
dents, stuck back home
due to the COVID-19
visa restrictions, have
been awaiting a return
to China.
China in July said the
country has made pro-
gress on facilitating
the return of Indian
students.

Asked about jobs
promise, Tejashwi
Yadav targets BJP
Patna: Repeatedly re-
minded of his promise
of delivering 10 lakh
jobs if he came to power
in the 2020 Bihar elec-
tions, Deputy Chief
Minister Tejashwi Ya-
dav on Saturday posted
a clip of him answering
the question with a shot
at the BJP.
“It is a success that
instead of Hindu-Mus-
lim topics, you are ask-
ing us about employ-
ment. I thank you, the
people who were sleep-
ing and never asked
about jobs, that media
is also awake now. Isn’t
this a success?” he said.
“The BJP never ful-
fils its promise. We will
fulfil our promises. And
these questions that
you are asking impishly
that ‘when will you give
10 lakhs’, hasn’t the CM
spoken about this in
front of you today?” Ya-
dav said.
“But do ask them
(BJP) what happened to
the 2 crore [jobs that PM
Narendra Modi prom-
ised each year in 2014].
And they were in power
for almost two years,
did BJP give even 19 of
the 19 lakh jobs they
promised?” he added.
Asked about Yadav’s
promise of 10 lakh jobs,
the CM had said on Fri-
day
, “We will definitely
try to fulfil that promise
tothebestof ourability”.
BJP SLAMS
NITISH AND
TEJASHWI
Patna: The BJP has hit
out at the newly formed
Mahagathbandhan
government in Bihar,
accusing it of indulging in
appeasement politics of
Muslims. Union Minister
Giriraj Singh and former
Deputy CM Renu Devi
have tweeted a letter
written by the director
of Primary Education
Department Ravi Prakash
to all the district educa-
tion officers dated August
10, the day when Nitish
Kumar was sworn in as
CM for the eighth time,
asking for the vacan-
cies of Urdu teachers in
the state. “How many
general teachers’ posts
are sanctioned and how
many posts teachers are
working on? How many
posts are vacant? How
many posts have been
appointed? What is the
number and percentage
of minority communities
out of the total teach-
ers appointed?” the
letter read. In the letter,
Prakash also sought to
know about the number
of posts sanctioned for
Urdu and Bangla teach-
ers. Renu Devi tweeted,
“In the new government
no decision has come on
Sanskrit, but it came on
Urdu. Appeasement shop
has opened.”

HONOURING THE SPIRIT
PM Modi hosts India’s CWG contingent
New Delhi (PTI): The
golden period of Indian
sports is knocking on
the doors, said Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi on Saturday as he
hailed the gutsy show
of the Indian contin-
gent which returned
with 61 medals from the
CommonwealthGames.
Modi on Saturday
hosted the Indian con-
tingent at his residence
to felicitate the players
here. The Indian ath-
letes produced a sensa-
tional show in Birming-
ham, claiming 61 med-
als, including 22 gold,
16 silver and 23 bronze.
“The real assessment
of this performance
can’t be made with just
number of medals, our
athletes competed neck-
to-neck. There may
have been a difference
of 1s or 1cm but we will
make that up I am con-
fident of that,” Modi
said during his speech.
“It is just a start and
we are not going to just
sit quietly, golden pe-
riod of Indian sports is
knocking on the
doors.” “We have the
responsibility of mak-
ing a sporting system
which is the best in the
world, inclusive, di-
verse and dynamic. No
talent should be left
out as they are all as-
sets.”
While India pro-
duced a dominating
show in badminton,
wrestling and weight-
lifting, the athletes
also did well in athlet-
ics, judo and lawn
bowl, where they won
India’s first-ever medal
in the Games.
“Not only are we
strengthening the
sports that we have
been strong in but have
also left a mark in new
sports. In hockey we
trying to get our legacy
back,” Modi said.
“Since last time, we
have won medals in
four new sports, from
lawn bowls to athletics,
out performance has
been spectacular. This
performance will help
increase youth’s inter-
est in new sports. We
have to improve our
performance in new
sports.”
The Indian team also
won a silver in women’s
T20 cricket which was
introduced for the first
time at the CWG.
The felicitation pro-
gram was attended most
of the CWG-returned
athletes, including the
wrestlers, weightlifters,
boxers, shuttlers and
table-tennis players.
Modi also congratu-
lated the chess players
who competed and won
medals at the Olympiad
which was hosted in
Chennai.

Bill against forced
conversion passed
Shimla (PTI): The
Himachal Pradesh As-
sembly passed a bill on
Saturday amending an
existing law against a
change of religion
through force or allure-
ment to forbid any
“mass conversion” and
enhance the maximum
punishment for the
crime to 10 years im-
prisonment.
The Himachal
Pradesh Freedom of Re-
ligion (Amendment)
Bill, 2022, was passed
unanimously with a
voice vote. The bill in-
serts the reference to
“mass conversion”,
which is described as
two or more people con-
verting at the same
time, in the 2019 law.
The Jai Ram Thakur-
led government had in-
troduced the bill on Fri-
day. It is a more strin-
gent version of The
Himachal Pradesh
Freedom of Religion
Act, 2019, which came
into force barely 18
months ago.
The 2019 Act was no-
tified on December 21,
2020, 15 months after it
was passed in the state
assembly. The 2019 ver-
sion had in turn re-
placed a 2006 law, which
prescribed lesser pun-
ishments. The amend-
ment bill proposes to
increase the punish-
ment for forced conver-
sions to a maximum of
10 years from a maxi-
mum of seven years.
It stipulates that the
complaints made under
the Act will be investi-
gated by a police officer
not below the rank of a
sub-inspector.

ists in Rajouri of J K.

bers. Investigation is
underway,” a senior po-
lice officer said.
A DMK official says
the place meant for pay-
ing tributes was packed
with party workers.
BJP state president K
Annamalai too wanted
to pay respects. The
minister pointed out
that this would be a vio-
lation of protocol as
only designated mem-
ber, including the Col-
lector, ought to be part
of this. As police at-
tempted to regulate the
crowd, word spread that
the Minister wanted the
party workers to be
moved.

Lumpy disease: Over
2K cattle died in Pun
Chandigarh, (PTI):
More than 2,100 cattle
have died while over
60,000 have been affect-
ed by lumpy skin dis-
ease so far in Punjab, an
official said on Satur-
day
. The Punjab govern-
ment has intensified
efforts to check the
spread of the disease
and has administered
goat pox vaccine to
more than 1.45 lakh cat-
tle, the official said.
Chief Minister Bhag-
want Mann has formed
a three-member group
of ministers to monitor
and control the spread
of the disease.
Lumpy skin disease
infects cows and buffa-
loes mainly through
vectors like blood-feed-
ing insects. It leads to
the formation of nodes
on the animal’s skin or
hide that look like
lumps, fever, runny
nose, reduced milk
yield and difficulty in
eating. Punjab, Ra-
jasthan, Uttarakhand,
Gujarat and Andaman
and Nicobar Islands
have been hit by the out-
break of the disease.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: Retired IAS
Madhukar Gupta has
been appointed as the
new Chief Election
Commissioner of Raj.
He will remain on the
post till 16 Sept 2025, till
the time he turns 65
years of age. 1985 batch
IAS Madhukar Gupta
retired with the senior-
ity of ACS on 30 Sept
2020 and post retire-
ment, he was leading a
retired life.
But when on Satur-
day the order for his ap-
pointment was issued,
the entire state bureau-
cracy became sur-
prised, because several
names were in the con-
tention for the post af-
ter Prem Singh Mehra
reitred as CEC in 2 July
2022. No one had any in-
clination of Madhukar
being appointed to this
important position.
Had any of the offi-
cials whose name was
in the contention being
appointed to the post,
they would have served
for five years, but mad-
hukar's term, as men-
tioned before, will be a
little over three years.
According to highly
placed sources, Madhu-
kar has been appointed
on the recommendation
of a senior Cong leader
from Punjab who is
close to 10, Janpath.
Soni and his wife — Ra-
jasthan cadre IAS Kiran
Soni Gupta — are na-
tives of Punjab and this
connection is the main
factor of this appoint-
ment. Notably, Madhu-
kar, throughout his ser-
vice period, has never
been in the 'main
stream'.
Similarly
, his wife too
did not get 'patronage'
from any govt. Prior to
her retirement in June
2020, she served as the
DG of JKK in Jaipur
and at that time too she
had used this 'Punjab
connection' to get an ex-
tension, although the
effort did not bear fruit.
However, this time
around, the husband
has been successful.

Gupta, who has
served on important
posts in the state and

pointed for a term of
five years or till the age
of 65 years, whichever
is earlier. It may be not-
ed that PS Mehra re-
cently completed ten-
ure as the state election
commissioner.
Talking about his pri-
orities, Gupta said that
conducting pending
panchayat, local body
elections peacefully
will be his priorities.
The commission is lag-
ging behind in innova-
tion and there is a need
to develop a system like
the election depart-
ment. Gupta may join
on Monday

that Lalu said that ‘Now
the time has come for
RJD and JDU to merge
and that Nitish should
do politics of Delhi
while Tejashwi should
handle the front at Pat-
na.” He
stressed that
if BJP has
to be given a
challenge,
the old Ja-
nata Dal has
to be
re-
vived. Furthermore,
Lalu asked Nitish to
speak to Akhilesh Ya-
dav, Naveen Patnaik,
Deve Gowda and Chan-
drashekhar Rao, stress-
ing that if they all come
together, Delhi will be
far away for the BJP in
2024. Nitish’s recent
statements also testify
to this that he wants to
come out as the new
champion of the oppo-
sition unit.
WILL JJP AND BJP
PART WAYS?
Areview meeting of
the BJP was held
in Haryana last week
which was attended by
Chief Minister Mano-
har Lal Khattar, apart
from several prominent
leaders of the Sangh,
some senior party lead-
ers and organization
ministers. Actually,
this meeting was
convened to brain-
storm the results of
the recent civic
elections of Hary-
ana. In total of 46
bodies, BJP
won 22,
J J P
just
3
and Independents won
19. The three candidates
who won from ‘Jannay-
ak Janata Party’ i.e. JJP
are also the same who
were earlier seeking
tickets from BJP, that is
why BJP is not giving
any special attention to
JJP’s 3 winners. So, in
this brainstorming
meeting it was thought
that why not talk to the
Chautala family and
ask JJP to merge with
the BJP, because the
Jats themselves have
distanced themselves
from the JJP, which is
considered to be the
party of the Jats. JJP
has started demanding
BJP to let it contest its
own candidate from
two seats of Hisar and
Sirsa, but BJP is hard-
ly ready for it.
THE GRAPEVINE
AROUND SUNIL
BANSAL’S ELEVATION
EXPLAINED!
The UP unit of BJP
was in buzz till
sometime back that the
‘road’ BJP general sec-
retary organization
Sunil Bansal took was
fast becoming ‘steep’ as
the politico was facing
several ‘difficulties’. In
fact there was a time
when the grapevine
was that Bansal would
be removed from UP
and it was also claimed
that even the RSS had
stopped backing him.
But just before
his tenure
was about
to end,
B a n s a l
came to
Delhi last
week and
stayed for
three
consecutive days. After
much effort, on the
third day, he met Amit
Shah. Bansal pleaded
with Shah and present-
ed his side of the story
and after deep thought
and consideration, it is
said that Shah talked to
party’s organization
general secretary BL
Santosh about Bansal.
However, Santosh pro-
posed that Bansal be
made the party’s vice-
president. But on this
Bansal did not agree
and said, ‘Vice Presi-
dency is given to a poli-
tician who is on the
threshold of retire-
ment. I have to contest
the assembly elections
from Rajasthan, also
become a minister in
the state.’ After this
Shah used his veto
to give Bansal a
position in the
party as national
general secretary
of the party while
also handing him
the charge of Telan-
gana, West Bengal
and Odisha. In-
terestingly,
this move has also sent
a message to his loyal-
ists as well.
MAMTA’S ‘OLIVE
BRANCH’ TO MODI?
In recent days, when
Bengal Chief Minis-
ter Mamata Banerjee
returned to Kolkata af-
ter meeting the Prime
Minister in Delhi, she
gave an ‘off-beat’ inter-
view to another Bengali
newspaper. If sources
are to be believed, in
this interview, Didi tied
the bridge of praise for
the PM. Didi told that
Modi ji loves ‘Pistachio
Flavoured Misty Doi’,
and that ‘Peacock’ is his
favourite colour. So this
time she went to
Delhi with
a special
peacock
c o l o u r
shawl of
Digha in
addition
to Misty
Doi for the
PM. The
PM ac-
cepted her gift whole-
heartedly
. Mamata also
told in this interview
that she regularly sends
Bengal’s special Malda
Him Sagar and Laxman
Bhog mangoes to the
PM every summer. But
the next day this inter-
viewwasnotpublished.
Mamata came to know
that her nephew Ab-
hishek Banerjee had
stopped this interview
from getting published.
Mamata then sum-
moned Abhishek and
expressed her displeas-
ure, on which Ab-
hishek said that ‘After
reading this interview,
it did not seem that it
was an interview of
Bengal tigress, rather
it seemed that we were
reading the interview
of some state president
of BJP.’ Mamta re-
mained silent.
MAMTA’S BET ON
PARTHA WRONG
Recently, when Tri-
namool leader
Mamata Banerjee was
in Delhi, she called an
important meeting
of her special core
group at the house
of her party’s Rajya
Sabha MP Sudhan-
shu Shekhar Rai.
Trinamool MPs
like Sau-
gata
Roy,
Sudhanshu Shekhar
Rai and Abhishek Ba-
nerjee attended this tea
meeting. Sharing her
pain with her party
MPs, Mamata said that
‘whenever she thinks
about the expansion of
the party, no one can
take this idea off the
ground.’ Mamata called
Goa the biggest exam-
ple of this. Taking a dig
at Abhishek, Mamata
said that ‘when Par-
tha’s ‘note scandal’
came to the fore, you im-
mediately dismissed
him from the party
without thinking. To-
day the situation is that
he is playing in the
hands of central agen-
cies and that he is even
ready to become an ‘ap-
prover’. In fact, Mamata
is worried that if Par-
tha, who was so close to
her, starts playing in
the hands of the central
government, then the
heat of this investiga-
tion will affect her per-
sonally too.

JAIPUR, SUNDAY,
AUGUST 14, 2022
he world would be a rather scary
place without empaths. Without
people who can feel and under-
stand the emotions of others,
chaos and disorder might
spread quickly
. We need more
people who can feel and un-
derstand the suffering of others.
We also need people to learn the
value of putting themselves in
other people’s shoes. While empa-
thy is a gift that some are born
with, it can also be learned. City
First brings to you an Empathetic
Soul Divyun Nanda and her in-
spiring journey
.
When asked to describe herself
the diva replied, “I describe my-
self as a genuine and unpreten-
tious Empathetic Soul.”
Every skill you acquire doubles
your odds of success. Talking about
some of the vital skills required to
be in the social media industry she
said, “
According to me creativity
, pas-
sion, authenticity
, consistency and
management are the most vital
skills. Without any of these, it is
hard to survive the cutthroat compe-
tition.
A dream doesn’t become reality
through magic, it takes sweat, inspi-
rationandhardwork.Talkingabout
her journey the beauty replied,
“My journey as an influencer
started almost six to seven years
ago. People recognised my
work and I started getting of-
fers from big brands to pro-
mote their products. It
was not something I had
planned because my
studies were my first
priority
.
Success is peace of
mind which is a di-
rect result of self-
satisfaction in
knowing you did
your best to be-
come the best
you are capable
of becoming.
When you’re surround-
ed by people who share a passionate com-
mitment to a common purpose, any-
thing is possible. Describing the most
memorable moment she replied, “I
like it when my friends call me up
to praise me for the work I do and
when I become a source of inspi-
ration for them. Being called
as a judge for a renowned
show was a big achieve-
ment for me. Making my
parents proud and hav-
ing their support
throughout my jour-
ney will always be
the most rewarding
moment.”

esearchers have to
face a lot of difficul-
ties in the publica-
tion of research
works. Especially
people doing PhD or
other equivalent de-
grees have to make a lot of
effort for publication of re-
search papers. It is easy to
select research journals for
publication, but it is difficult
to find out the reality of
those journals, in such
a situation, schol-
ars get their
research
papers
published in
cloned and fake
journals, which are
later declared
invalid.
On the topics
related to the
identifica-
tion and
publication
of cloned
jour nals
across the
c o u n t r y,
Dr Sumit
Narula, Di-
rector of
the School
of Com-
munication, Amity Univer-
sity, Gwalior and Chief Edi-
tor of Journal of Content,
Community and Communi-
cation, while addressing the
researchers at the institutes
of the country and abroad,
gave information about the
identification of such
journals. Apart from me-
dia education, Narula
has also informed schol-
ars and teachers
through webinars and
seminars about research
journals on subjects such as
medical. Due to the lack of
information in them, re-
searchers get their research
papers published, due to
which research is not get-
ting encouragement.
On the other hand,
quality jour-
nals also do not get suitable
readers. He said that many
journals get the original re-
search printed in fake re-
search journals by charging
big money from the research-
ers. For which the research-
er has to bear the damages,
apart from this, such pub-
lished research is of no use
in the academic field.
The tradition of printing
research papers without
quality is increasing nowa-
days. Dr Narula has dissem-
inated information to people
through webinars in higher
educational institutions
across the country to iden-
tify ‘clone, fake and periodic
journals’ so that the re-
search work of the research-
ers can be published in bet-
ter quality research jour-
nals.
FRAUD BY FAKE
ONLINE JOURNALS
According to Dr Narula,
nowadays the trend of on-
line journals has increased a
lot. The researcher is guar-
anteed to get the publication
in these journals within a
day or two, due to which
fraud has started hap-
pening. Research-
ers waste their
money and time
by falling prey to
such fake jour-
nals. After publi-
cation, when the
researcher claims
for promotion, it is
found that the
journal was
cloned. The
most important
thing is that
nowadays peo-
ple are being
cheated by mak-
ing a clone of the
Scopus website. In
such a situation,
many times the ID
page of the clone
journal does not
open even after
searching on the Sco-
pus website. There are
people from many fake
agencies on such websites,
with whom they have noth-
ing to do.
