KERALA JUDGE’S
OBSERVATIONS ON
WOMAN’S DRESS A
MISTAKE, RULES HC
he case of Principal
District and Sessions
Judge of Kozhikode S
Krishnakumar, who
granted anticipatory
bails to writer activist Civic
Chandra accused of sexual har-
assment on the ground that the
complainant was wearing pro-
vocative dresses, is getting curi-
ouser. After his observation that
“theoffenceundersexualharass-
ment is not prima facie attracted
in one case as the woman “wears
a sexually provocative dress”
raised a big controversy, Judge
Krishnakumar was transferred
to the labour court in Kollam.
The judge challenged his
transfer in the Kerala High
Court which allowed his petition
and set aside the order. The
Bench found that the judge’s ob-
servations “were indeed deroga-
tory to women and, in our view,
wholly uncalled for”. The Bench
was of the view that the observa-
tions “could not be construed as
misconduct, but rather, amounts
to a mistake committed by
Krishnakumar while discharg-
ing his judicial function”.
The“mistake”committedbythe
Kozhikode judge is indeed symp-
tomaticof apatriarchalmindset.
T
s emissions con-
tinue to rise, the
annual global
emissions are
close to an equiva-
lent of 50 billion tonnes of
carbon dioxide but the
growth in this decade (2010-
19) has been a lot slower at 1
percent than the 2.6 percent
in the previous decade. That,
however, is no consolation as
it will take decades for the ef-
fectof carbondioxidealready
in the atmosphere to wane.
Global warming, therefore, is
here to be contended with.
As Sharm el-Shaikh gets
ready to host the annual UN
Climate Change Conference
in Egypt on Sunday, energy
security in the light of global
tension over the Ukraine con-
flict may get pushed to the
background as countries
may focus away from climate
change to more pressing eco-
nomic and energy issues.
The main concern is about
restricting global tempera-
tures within 1.5 degree Cel-
sius. According to Adair
Turner, Chairman of Energy
Transitions Commission,
“…we must keep focused on
the global crises presented
by climate change. Each 0.1
degree Celsius rise above 1.5
degrees Celsius will have a
hugely significant impact…
Both full implementation of
COP26 commitments and
further progress at COP27
are therefore essential if the
world is to have a 50-50
chance of limiting global
warming”. For that to look
plausible, annual emissions
have to be brought down to 33
billion tonnes by 2030.
The question is will COP27
give climate action a push to
achieve the ambitious goal?
With the war in Ukraine still
on and supply lines getting
disrupted, countries will find
it to do anything beyond what
they pledged in COP26. Yet,
the goal must be pursued.
LEARN TO LIVE WITH
GLOBAL WARMING
As emissions continue to rise,
the annual global emissions
are close to an equivalent of
50 billion tonnes of carbon
dioxide but the growth in this
decade (2010-19) has been a
lot slower at 1 percent than
the 2.6 percent in the

INTERPOL
IT’S TIME TO BREAK THE GEO-POLITICAL SHIELD
OF CRIMINALS, INITIATE ACTION ON THE GROUND
he four-day grand event (18-21
October) of 90th meeting of
the INTERPOL General As-
sembly was successfully held
at Pragati Maidan, New Del-
hi. On the occasion of Amrit
Mahotsav of India’s Inde-
pendence, Interpol had ac-
cepted the special request of
the GOI to organize meeting
in India. Earlier in 1997 India
also got the opportunity to
host. Delegates from 164 out
of 195 member countries, In-
terpol’s President Ahmed
Naser Al-Raisi and Secretary-
General Jürgen Stock partici-
pated in this annual meeting.
In the 90th session of the
INTERPOLGA total 14 differ-
ent resolutions were passed,
including strengthening co-
operative response to combat
financial crime & corruption,
prevention of online child
sexual exploitation and
abuse; implementation of
concrete strategies to identify
offendersandresolutionsalso
were passed to identify miss-
ing persons using Interpol’s
‘I-Familia’ database. Annual
crime statistics and other re-
ports also presented in the
meeting. Interpol’s Secretary-
General Jürgen Stöck
launched ‘Metaverse’- the
first ever specially designed
for global police organization.
This is joint venture of the
WEF, META and Microsoft. In
‘Metaverse’ member country
around the globe can interact
witheachother.Thiswillhelp
to control the top trending
cyber-crime.
Addressing the inaugural
session the PM Shri Naren-
dra Modi said- “A safe and
secure world is our shares
responsibility; when the forc-
es of good cooperate, the forc-
es of crime cannot operate. It
is high time that the world
comes together to defeat Ter-
rorism, corruption, drug traf-
ficking, poaching and organ-
ised crime. When threats are
global, response can’t be lo-
cal.” He called upon Interpol
to work out a new strategy
with technology of new level.
Undoubted it has been 99
years since the establish-
ment of Interpol, but the
achievements so far have
been insufficient. The rela-
tions between nations are
weighing heavily on crimes
and effective action against
criminals; as a result, the un-
friendly nations have become
the safe havens of the fugi-
tives and criminals of hu-
manity
. In Indian context 750
notices issued by Interpol,
out of which 200 notices are
of fugitive criminals, have
been un-served till date. In
which fugitive terrorists like
Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota
Shakeel and Hafiz Saeed are
taking shelter in safe places.
Such controversial deci-
sions have not only caused a
deep blow to the image of In-
terpol at the global level, but
created a sense of lack of ac-
ceptance among the general
public about the commenda-
ble work being done by this
global organization. Whereas
India’s contribution in all the
activities of this institution
remarkable. Recently, the
largest consignment of hero-
in was seized at Mundra port
under Operation Lionfish,
which is being run by Inter-
poltargetingdrugsmuggling.
Similarly, under Operation
Garuda the CBI, NCB sharing
intelligence with Interpol
have carried out the biggest
ever action against an inter-
nationally spread drug cartel.
India conveyed its policy
of zero tolerance towards ter-
ror and criminals and its
firm intentions. Addressing
the concluding session of IN-
TERPOLGA on 21st October,
the Union Minister for Home,
Shri Amit Shah said- “Ter-
rorism is the biggest human
rights violator. We should en-
sure that the fight against
terrorism sustained, compre-
hensive and continuous, for
which India is committed to
working with the Interpol.”
Narrativesof “good”&“bad”,
“small” & “big” terrorism
would weaken fight against
the threat which was high on
Interpol’s priority list.
However, Interpol’s Presi-
dent Al-Raisi has urged mem-
ber states to strengthen unity
with neutrality and transpar-
ency, while avoiding politici-
zation of the organization.
But this would not have been
possible without a change in
the organizational structure
of Interpol & radical change
in traditional methodology
.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
T
All the member countries of
the organization should take
concrete steps towards
making arrest of wanted
and make it mandatory on
priority basis, ignoring
the geopolitical equations
towards terrorists-
separatists-extremists. As
well as the institution
should also work on
consensus among member
countries to extradition the
criminals in accordance
of the type/colour of notices,
so that the relevance and
universal acceptance of
this global organization is
maintained, otherwise in
the rapidly changing global
environment the concept of
the Interpol’s — “A SAFER
WORLD” will prove far cry

‘CONGRESS IS PARTY OF RAJA-RANIS’ PM Modi: New
India focusing
on bold reforms
Bengaluru (PTI): New
India is focusing on bold
reforms, big infrastruc-
ture and best talent,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi said on
Wednesday
. Delivering
the inaugural address at
the three-day Global In-
vestors’ Meet, ‘Invest
Karnataka 2022’, via
video-conferencing, he
said at this time of glob-
aleconomicuncertainty
,
the whole world is confi-
dent that the Indian
economy’s fundamen-
tals are strong.
“Despiteglobaluncer-
tainties, India is grow-
ing rapidly
,” he said.
The Prime Minister
said Karnataka has the
power of “double en-
gine”, with the same
party in the government
at both the state and
Centre. “When we speak
abouttalentandtechnol-
ogy, the first name that
comestomindis“Brand
Bengaluru”, Modi said.
Besides Governor Tha-
waarchand Gehlot and
Chief Minister Basa-
varaj Bommai, those
who were present at the
inaugural function here
included Union Minis-
ters Nirmala Sithara-
man, Piyush Goyal,
Pralhad Joshi and Ra-
jeev Chandrasekhar.
This edition of the
GIM is being held under
the theme ‘Build for the
World’ reflecting on the
role Karnataka aims to
play in the global supply
chain, officials said.
The key topics to be
addressed during the
event will revolve
around the sub-themes
of innovation, sustaina-
bility, equity, and resil-
ience, they said.

many in the twin tourist
towns of Dharamshala and

more pressing concerns
— how to end traffic jams,
bad roads and poor con-
nectivity that are hindrance
to locals and also visitors.
The buzz is missing with
travel and hospitality
industry players more
interested in attending to
visitors during the last
leg of the tourist season
rather than giving an ear
to claims of development
or promises offered by po-
litical leaders. Bipin Rana,
a travel and tour operator,
says more tourist attrac-
tions like theme parks and
luxury hotels should be set
up in and around the city
to give a rich experience to
visitors.

are social media activ-
ists who work as a per-
sonal assistant to Rahul
Gandhi and Priyanka
Gandhi Vadra. There is
a group of leaders who
work in the Congress

There is talk of many
of these leaders would
now come into main-
stream politics. It is be-
ing told that many lead-
ers who work with Ra-
hul and Priyanka can
get a big position in
theseaffiliatedorganiza-
tions. Among such peo-
ple, the names of Sand-
eep Singh who worked
with PGV
, Kanishk Sin-
gh who worked with Ra-
hul Gandhi, Sachin Rao
and Kaushal Vidyarthi
are discussed. There is
talk of Alankar Sawai
also joining active poli-
tics who is currently co-
ordinating the Bharat
Jodo Yatra with Rahul.
Recently, in view of
the elections of two
states, media in-charge
Pawan Khera was called
back to Delhi from the
Yatra along with Sand-
eep Singh. He will be
permanently placed in
the media team. Gur-
deep Sappal, who is
working to give intellec-
tual input, is being dis-
cussed to get a bigger
responsibility
. He has
been the CEO of RS-TV
and he gives the most
logical answers to the
propagandas of BJP
. He
can be included in Mal-
likarjun Kharge’s team.
A few more people
who are active for the
Congress in social me-
dia can be included as
television speakers or
spokespersons.
Hyderabad (ANI): The

silent revolution that

Mallikarjun Kharge
said on Wednesday
.
Ahead of the start of
Wednesday’s Yatra,
Kharge interacted with
Bharat Yatris, who are
walking entire distance
from Kanyakumari to
Kashmir, at Bowenpally
,
in Hyderabad.
“Interacted with the
Bharat Yatris at Bowen-
pally, in Hyderabad.
They too are walking
3500 kms withRahul
Gandhi and are a source
of great inspiration to

tweeted. “Bharat Jodo

Later, the Yatra re-
sumed from MGB Bajaj
showroom, Balanagar
Main Road, with Rahul
Gandhialongwithother
Bharat Yatris continu-
ing their walk on the
56th day of the Yatra.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra

Hyderabad (ANI): Ra-
hul Gandhi does not like
backseat driving or as-
serting his authority
and his greatest value
going forward will be to
play the role of an “ideo-
logical compass” for the
Congress, senior leader
Jairam Ramesh said on
Wednesday. A week af-
ter Mallikarjun Kharge,
the first non-Gandhi
president in over 24
years, took charge of
the party, Ramesh said
some people are calling
Gandhi the elephant in
the room but the former
party chief is actually a
“tiger on the road”. The
Bharat Jodo Yatra has
been a “real booster
dose” for public relation
of the party
.

in his right eye, hand,

after being allegedly
pushed by the police
during the 55th day of
the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Hyderabad: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi
attacked the TRS govt
in Telangana saying
that it supports the
BJP on legislations in
Parliament and that CM
K Chandrashekar Rao
“does drama” before
the polls but is “in direct
line” with PM Modi. Ad-
dressing a rally, Gandhi
said that “BJP and TRS
work together” and the
Prime Minister “gives
orders to your CM on
phone”. “Whenever
there’s any bill in Parlia-
ment, TRS supports BJP
and diverts attention.
KHARGE’s CREDIT TO
BHARAT YATRIS FOR
TRANSFORMING CHANGE
While Congress ‘Bharat
Jodo Yatra’ was in Hy-
derabad , the party president,
Mallikarjun Kharge, inter-
acted with Bharat Yatris at
Bowenpally and said that the
Bharat Yatris are also walking
3500 km with Rahul Gandhi.
They bring positive energy to
our Bharat Jodo Yatra. While
tweeting from its Twitter han-
dle Congress said that every
day a new chapter of history
is being added. Every day
the count of people is taking
a jump who wants love and
peace in their country.
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Now that
the time to forge a new
team is before Con-
gress Party National
President Mallikarjun
Kharge, word is that
priority will be given to
the tried and tested old
faces. However, under
Kharge’s command,
the party will give
chance to new second
line leaders as well. But
it is said that instead of
leaders working in re-
gions, priority will be
given to leaders work-
ing in Delhi. Such
youth or new leaders,
who are working in
some cell with some
subsidiary organiza-
tion of the party and
are associated with the
war room, can get a big
responsibility in the
central committee.
Some youth MPs of
the party will get place
in the central commit-
tee. Apart from Man-
ickam Tagore, leaders
like Dipendra Hooda,
JB Mather, Hiby Eden,
Gaurav Gogoi or
Ravneet Singh Bittu
may get a chance to
work in the Central
Committee. Congress
Rajya Sabha MP from
Karnataka Nasir Hus-
sain may get a big re-
sponsibility. Along
with the top leaders of
the Congress, Kharge
too has complete trust
in him. These MPs of
Lok Sabha and Rajya
Sabha can be made
joint in-charges in the
states. There will also
be some changes in the
team of Congress
spokespersons and new
spokespersons may be
created and the list of
televised speakers may
be expanded.
Apart from these
leaders, who are not
MPs but are working
for Congress, many
leaders are likely to get
a big responsibility.
Kanhaiya Kumar, who
is across India with Ra-
hul Gandhi; Nikhil
Alva, who is handling
Rahul’s social media;
Srinivasa BV
, National
President of Youth
Congress and Krishna
Alavru, who is in
charge of Youth Con-
gress, etc. are told to be
those second line lead-
er who can get a big po-
sition in Kharge’s team.
Nikhil Alva handles
Rahul Gandhi’s social
media. Earlier it was
being said that he could
be in charge of the me-
dia of the Congress and
that the responsibility
of social media could
be given to him. But it
didn’t happen. Now he
can have a place in the
central team. He hails
from Karnataka and is
the son of Margaret
Alva, who was nomi-
nated by the Congress
for the post of Vice
President. Krishna Ala-
vuru holds an LLM
from Georgetown Uni-
versity and has worked
extensively as an in-
charge of the Youth
Congress. He played a
major role in promot-
ing leaders in Youth
Congress in many
states. Similarly, be-
cause of Srinivasa BV,
Youth Congress is yet
again being discussed
in the country
. The way
he worked to help peo-
ple during the Corona
epidemic is also praised
by his opponents.

BJP’S BEST FOOT FORWARD IN HIMACHAL
Nadaun: Union Home
Minister Amit Shah on
Wednesday took a
swipe at the Congress
saying it is a party of
‘rajas and ranis’ and
even though many
chief ministerial as-
pirants might be in the
fray in Himachal
Pradesh, no one will
actually get a chance.
Addressing a poll
rally in Nadaun, he
launched an all-out at-
tack on the Congress
for practising nepo-
tism and for not doing
anything in the name
of development. The
home minister also
highlighted surgical
air strikes against Pa-
kistan, construction of
Ram temple at Ayod-
hya, implementation
of ‘one rank, one pen-
sion’ and abrogation of
Article 370 in Kashmir
to woo the electorate.
Shah urged voters to
break the tradition by
electing the BJP once
again to ensure that it
becomes the number
one state in the coun-
try. He also assured to
make the state drugs-
free in the next five
years.

CONG, BJP BRACE FOR REBEL IMPACT
IN HIMACHAL PRADESH POLLS
Shimla: With only a
few days to go for the
Himachal Pradesh
Assembly polls, the
rebel factor is wearing
down both the ruling
BJP and the opposition
Congress, with top
leaders of both camps
working overtime to
blunt the impact of dis-
sent. Though both the
parties have managed
to quell the rebellion
in some of the State’s
68 seats, they had to
crack the whip against
certain unhappy former
lawmakers and min-
isters who refused to
toe party line on official

ers. The way IAS offic-
ers are working, isn’t
correct. I have written

were responsible for

called up the CMO. I
have written a letter to
the CM that you do not
write the ACR (Annual
Confidential Report) of
IAS officers. Let us
write the ACR,” he said.
“When you give the

fill the ACR, then the

prove. Otherwise, they
will not listen,” he said.
Khachariyawas said
despite repeated orders
of the government,
there were many distur-
bances. The officer who
made the mistake was
sent on prime posting

“I have written a letter

Jaipur: Ever since the
first all-out war between
Gehlot-Pilot camps be-
came a public spectacle
over two years back, a
‘tug-of-war’ type situa-
tion has prevailed with-
in the camps. However,
once the high command
stepped in, both Gehlot
and Pilot called its quits
to the clash and project-
ed that the differences
have been ironed out. In
fact, after this, Pilot at
times highlighted the
good works undertaken
by the Gehlot govern-
ment and stressed that
everyone will have to
work together to repeat
the government.
The former Deputy
CM, on his part, dis-
played immense pa-
tience in handling the
political crisis, a point
which was even praised
by former Congress
President Rahul Gan-
dhi, who publicly admit-
ted that Pilot’s time
would come as he has
waited for it.
But perhaps the inac-
tion of the high com-
mand and the discipli-
narycommitteeoverthe
political crisis before
Congress in September
this year; when Gehlot
camp MLAs rebelled on
removingtheirleaderas
Chief Minister ulti-
mately making KC
Venugopal to stress that
action would be taken
on those responsible
and notices being issued
to Shanti Dhariwal, Ma-
hesh Joshi and Dhar-
mendra Rathore; and
along with this the wait
of the past two years,
seems to have made Pi-
lot end his long standing
‘cease-fire’!
On Wednesday, Pilot
fired salvos on Gehlot
breaking his two year
long silence, suggested
that party will soon
takeactionagainstthose
who were given notices
byAICCforindiscipline.
Pilot also said PM Modi
praised Rajasthan CM
Gehlot at a programme
on Tuesday
. “This is an
interesting develop-
ment. PM Modi had
praised Ghulam Nabi
Azad ji in Parliament,
what happened after
that? Everyone had seen
thatyesterday’sdevelop-
ment was interesting.
Modi ji himself has
praised CM. This is in-
teresting and shouldn’t
betakenlightly
,”hesaid.
He said only 13
months were left for the
assembly polls in Ra-
jasthan whatever de-
cisions are to be taken,
like CLP meet the AICC
would take them soon.
Pilot further said par-
ty’s rules discipline
apply to all, adding that
he hoped Congress Pres-
ident Mallikarjun
Kharge would take a de-
cision in matter soon.
Interestingly, after
this, when CM Gehlot
was questioned about
the Pilot’s comment,
he said that Pilot
should not have said
so. “Politicians should
not pass such com-
ments. KC Venugopal
had issued guidelines
advised to not pass
such remarks. Rahul
Gandhi is toiling hard
so that pressure is cre-

Jaipur (Agencies): Minister Rajen-
dra Gudha and a known supporter
of Sachin Pilot, has opened a front
against CM Gehlot by
demanding the conven-
ing of CLP meet to
discuss the leadership
change. Gudha has
demanded that Con-
gress High Command
convene a CLP meeting
soon to decide on changing the CM in
State. He also demanded sacking of
2 ministers, namely Shanti Dhariwal,
Mahesh Joshi also RTDC President
Dharmendra Rathore from their posts
for being responsible for political
mess. “All I have to say is that it is
a question of High Command’s cred-
ibility. The CLP should call a meeting
and decide on the CM soon. Take a
decision on the three leaders soon”.
Jaipur: Hitting back on Sachin Pilot’s
comment on PM Modi praising CM
Ashok Gehlot, Dy LoP Rajendra
Rathore said “PM made
his point according to
country’s political cul-
ture. When a PM visits
a state there is a CM
of another party, who is
a senior leader, the PM
speaks about senior-
ity.” Rathore also said that Gehlot is a
simple person who tries to maintain
cordial relations with Opposition.
However, he insisted that he didn’t
mean that he was a follower of Gehlot.
“Whatever CM said, we did that in
Covid. This is our culture. Thus, he
talks about ‘Ragdai. He sometimes
talks about us too in Assembly that
we are the students of Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat school of politics,” he said.
Jaipur: CM’s trusted lieuten-
ant Mahesh Joshi targeted
Pilot’s comments and said,
“It is the culture of Rajasthan
that we honour everyone
who comes here. We don’t
indulge in unnecessary en-
counters like Uttar Pradesh.”
Joshi recounted the saying,
“Idols term us infidels, It is
the will of Allah.” He further
said, “I dont think CM did
anything wrong. He has only
carried forward Congress’
culture. Ashok Gehlot does
not need any certificate to
prove his loyalty and creden-
tials. A person should look
at their own history and not
point fingers. I dont wan’t
to go beyond the party’s
guidelines.”
Gudha demands to

FORWARD CONGRESS’ CULTURE
Office of Mr. Anurag
Thakur@Anurag_Office
Both the leaders including
Sachin Pilot ji and Ashok
Gehlot ji have completely
ruined Rajasthan in their
personal fight and are now
disseminating their knowledge
in Himachal. I strongly believe
that the people will support in
helping the ‘Lotus’ bloom and
the Bharatiya Janata Party will
form the government.

He said that the lack of
finance would not be al-
lowed by the state gov-
ernment to provide its
servicesto the last per-
son. It is our endeavor
to increase the per cap-
ita income and happi-
ness index in the state,
Gehlot said and also ap-
pealed to the people of
the state to live in har-
mony, love and harmo-
ny. He said that he
would not tolerate vio-
lence in the state.
Decisions taken in
education,
employment and
employee interests
Gehlot said that the
State Government has
provided strength to the
students and parents by
launching several
schemes including ‘Ma-
hatma Gandhi English
Medium School’,
‘Mukhyamantri Anu-
priti Coaching Scheme’
and ‘Rajiv Gandhi
Scholarship for Aca-
demic Excellence’. “So
far 1.30 lakh govern-
ment jobs have been
given. Around 1 lakh
posts are under recruit-
ment process. One lakh
jobs have been an-
nounced in the budget
2022-23. In such a situa-
tion, Rajasthan has also
become a leading state
in providing govern-
ment jobs in the coun-
try. The future of the
state employees has
been secured by re-in-
troducing the old pen-
sion scheme from a hu-
man point of view,” he
said.
ERCP should get
national project
status
The Chief Minister said
that there is a continu-
ous demand from the
Central Government to
give the status of Na-
tional Project to the
Eastern Rajasthan Ca-
nal Project (ERCP)
which is important for
ensuring irrigation and
drinking water supply
in 13 districts. He as-
sured the people of the
state that even if the
central government
does not declare a na-
tional project, the state
government will take it
forward with its own
resources.

he term
Banarasi
refers to a
saree made
in the an-
cient city
of Varana-
si, also known as
Banaras. The sa-
rees are among
the best in India and
they are renowned for
their luxurious needle-
work, exquisite silk as
well as gold and silver
brocade, or zari. The
sarees are relatively
heavy due to the de-
tailed engravings and
highly woven silk used
in their construction.
These sarees are dis-
tinguished by their in-
tricate interwoven flo-
ral and foliate motifs,
kalga and bel and a
string of erect leaves
known as jhallar at the
outer edge of the bor-
der. A saree can take
anything between fif-
teen days and a month,
and perhaps even up to
six months, to finish,
depending on how in-
tricate the motifs and
patterns are. Indian la-
dies typically wear ba-
narasi sarees to major
eventslikeweddings,
where they are sup-
posed to be com-
plimented by
their finest jew-
ellery
.
The rich Ba-
n a r a s i
weaves fea-
turevibrant
hues, rus-
t l i n g
silks, shimmering
highlights and elabo-
rate tapestry-like mo-
tifs that are anchored
inhistoryanddrenched
in regality
. The
“Khandaani” Indian
heirlooms that have
been passed down
through the centuries
and are reported to
havebeenmentionedin
the mythical Mahab-
harata writings are
known as Banarasi.
They are a revered part
of our heritage that has
evolved over time.
They have been a
mainstay of the Indian
hand looms sector be-
cause they were origi-
nally exclusively pro-
duced on handlooms
and the genuinely rare
ones are only those
that are hand-woven.
They have established
themselves as a pillar
of the Indian hand
loom industry
. Benara-
si are treasured, deli-
cate weaves thanks to
labor-intensive weav-
ing methods, the use of
premium raw materials
and unique, secret
weaving techniques. If
a buyer is ready to forgo
the modern versions for
the timeless appeal of
the hand-woven beau-
ties, today’s brocades
and Banarasis are man-
ufactured utilising a
variety of base materi-
als and newly devel-
oped methods,
such as power
looms.

PHOTOGRAPHY: AN AFFAIR WITH LIFE

n extravagant exhibi-
tion preview, 'Photog-

was organised at Bi-
kaner House on
Wednesday
. Sachin Pi-
lot, MLA Tonk, Former
Minister of IT, Telecom
Corporate Affairs,
GoI, Commissioned of-
ficer graced the occa-
sion as the chief
guest and appreci-
ated the art-
works of artists.
While interact-
ing with the me-
dia, artist
Aekam de-
scribed her art-
works including
The Banarasi Ef-
fect, Indian Jun-
gles: A Teenage
Lens and The
people of Kash-
mir.
During the ex-
hibition, Dhiraj
Srivastava, Com-
missioner Rajasthan Founda-
tion, Shubhra Singh and ACS
cum CRC were present as the
special guests.
On the occasion, while de-
scribing the Banarasi effect
Aekam said, Most of the pho-
tographs exhibited in the exhi-
bition are inspired by my real-
life experience, during my
trip to Banaras, I tried to
capture the essence and
the beauty of the coexist-
ence of life and death in re-
ligion. They also celebrate the
coexistence of Varanasi's deep
past and its present. While my
Indian Jungles photographs
are woven into India's deep his-
tory as a myth and legend. My
aim with this exhibition is to
encourage my generation to
explore Indian jungles as a
worthwhile addition to their
intellectual and emotional re-
sume and to recall for them the
thrill of early naturalists who
did not have the benefit of pho-
tography
. This is my small en-
deavour to convince people
that waking up at 4 am to go on
a jungle safari is to willingly
and gainfully intersect our
paths with those of our fellow
creatures and that jungle de-
lights are more rewarding than
likes and followers, the artist
added.
The talented artist also de-
scribed her experience in
Kashmir and her photographs
based on the People of Kash-
mir and said, There is no
complete concept of India
without Kashmir. On the
map, it sits as the proud
crown of the subcontinent,
its mighty peaks capped with
abodes of gods and rivers run-
ning along its deep, primordial
valleys. Although the picture-
perfect landscape is the domi-
nant reason for her honorific
'Heaven on earth'.
The portraits on exhibition
aim to bring more attention to
this rather unexplored part of
Kashmir, her soul and her peo-
ple. Piyali Dasgupta, Smriti
