ARVIND KEJRIWAL
Arvind Kejriwal, Anna Hazare's close aide in his campaign against corruption and
also winner of the NDTV Indian of the Year 2011 award, was emphatic when he
said, "I can speak for myself, I will never stand for elections."
Both Anna and Mr Kejriwal said they were not "anti-Congress". "We don't oppose
or support any party, we just want the Lokpal Bill to come. The Congress is in
power, so the responsibility for getting the Lokpal Bill rests with them," Mr Kejriwal
said.
BAICHUNG BHUTIA
After giving stellar performances in an illustrious 16-year-long career, India's ace
soccer player, Baichung Bhutia, formally announced his retirement from
international football on 24th August, sending shockwaves among his fans.
Baichung Bhutia, whose on-field skills bedazzled and enthralled football buffs for
more than a decade, finally called it a day after being stung by a spate of recurring
injuries in the past few months, a period which he acidly called 'frustrating'.
Meanwhile, stressing that he did not have any regrets in his career, Baichung
Bhutia expressed gratitude to all his coaches and co-players.
MUAMMAR GADAFFI
The capture and killing of the world's longest-serving dictator, Libya's Muammar
Gaddafi, is like the Arab Spring itself - a thrilling moment of possibility, full of
troubling portents and looming problems.
The removal of the dreadful Gaddafi after an astonishing 42 years in power gives
Libyans an opportunity to build something better. The man Ronald Reagan

2. dubbed "the mad dog of the Middle East" treated his people as if they were a social
science experiment.
"As part of his 'cultural revolution' he banned all private enterprise and unsound
books were burned" in the 1980s, recalls the BBC's Tarik Kafala. "He also had
dissidents based abroad murdered. Freedom of speech and association were
absolutely squashed and acts of violent repression were numerous."
ARUNA ROY
Noted social worker and member of the National Advisory Committee Aruna Roy
has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking a high-level
probe into the recent raid on the house of Kavita Srivastava, general-secretary of
People Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) here, by a joint team of Rajasthan and
Chhattisgarh police.
Drawing a parallel to the arrest of the human rights activists Binayak Sen, Roy has
urged the PM to look into the policies in relation to human rights workers and
institutions, and added that a failure to do so may damage the relationship
between the people and the state. Copies of the letter have been sent to Union
home minister, CM Gehlot, MoS Home GoI and chief secretary, Rajasthan.
HOSNI MUBARAK
Sources in Egypt say that the ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who was
being tried for alleged ordering to kill civilians and corruption in Cairo, has suffered
a heart attack and may even have died in custody, RT’s Paula Slier reports.
-If true, Mubarak becomes the second head of state to become a victim of the
so-called Arab Spring and not be properly tried for the crimes the opposition
charged him with. Earlier, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi died under suspicious
circumstances after being captured by rebel forces.
Mubarak, whose health had deteriorated to the point where he had to attend his
trial while lying in bed, on Sunday night saw TV reports about Gaddafi’s death,
which worsened his condition, the sources claim. The former Egyptian leader
suffered a massive heart attack after seeing his long-time friend’s body bloodied
and still.

3. JWALA GUTTA
Curtains were drawn on India's campaign at the Denmark Open Super Series after
mixed doubles pair of V Diju and Jwala Gutta suffered a humiliating straight-game
defeat in the quarterfinals at Odense on Friday.The unseeded Indian pair lost 5-21,
7-21 to third seeded English combination of Joachim Fischer Nielsen and
Christinna Pedersen in a match that lasted for just 26 minutes.
PRASHANT BUSHAN
A leading apex court lawyer, Prashant Bushan is a well respect social activist who
is also member of the Anna Hazare team. Though he had his own views on
Kashmir but these would rarely get attention but after he became part of the Anna
team, the society in the plains has started taking him seriously. In fact, part of the
society has turned restive and started resorting to violence.
In the largest democracy of the world the freedom of expression is under siege.
The fascist forces have beaten to pulp Prashant Bhushan for airing his views on
Kashmir. From a law and order perspective it's alarming that right wing extremists
could publically assault a leading lawyer and civil rights activist, in the Supreme
Court.
The violent and ugly behaviour lauded by the likes of Shiv Sena Chief Bal
Thackeray was on expected lines. Nothing else can be expected from the prophets
of doom. However, what will embolden the self assumed conscience keepers - the
fringe groups ready to unleash violence at the drop of a hat- is the qualified
condemnation of the ghastly act by otherwise well meaning sections of the society.
It is not only on Kashmir, having been made an emotive issue, that a free
intellectual debate is almost impossible
OMAR AL BASHIR
The ICC has issued an international arrest warrant for Mr Bashir on charges of
genocide and war crimes during the Darfur conflict.
Malawi is a signatory to the treaty establishing the ICC but said it was not its
"business" to arrest Mr Bashir.

4. Mr Bashir denies the charges, saying they are politically motivated.
The African Union has lobbied for the arrest warrant to be deferred, accusing the
ICC of only investigating alleged war crimes in Africa and arguing that arresting
Sudan's president would hamper the search for peace in Darfur.Mr Bashir was
welcomed by a military guard of honour when he arrived in the capital, Lilongwe,
for a trade summit last weekend.The European Union and human rights groups
had all urged Malawi to arrest Mr Bashir.But Information Minister Patricia Kaliati
told the BBC's Network Africa programme that Malawi could not detain Mr Bashir
as he was attending a heads of state summit of the Common Market for Eastern
and Southern Africa (Comesa), a regional trade bloc."He's coming for business
and we don't have any business to do with the arrest of President Omar," she said.

KIRAN BEDI

5. Anna Hazare tonight defended his key associate Kiran Bedi from the allegations of
air travel corruption, pointing fingers at a 'gang of four' in the ruling party being
behind the campaign against his team.Observing that to accuse and humiliate
seemed to be the mantra of the few, the anti-corruption crusader said they were
afraid of a Jan Lokpal taking shape fearing that the legislation would strip them of
power.With his team members facing allegations of financial malfeasance, Hazare
expressed these views in his latest blog posting 'Rise and Fight' against 'Gang of
Four'.
JAGJIT SINGH
The King of Ghazal is no more but his legacy will live on. Jagjit Singh, 70, passed
away on Monday morning at Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital. The singer was admitted
there on September 23 following brain haemorrhage and was on life support
since.
As the news became public, condolence messages began pouring in from fans
and close friends in the industry. “Today, I feel that not only has the world of ghazal
music lost its voice in India, we’ve lost a great friend. He was a great
composer-singer. I’ve known him for over 31 years and we’ve been associated not
just for songs but he was also an active campaigner in our fight for copyrights,”
says lyricist Javed Akhtar, who composed two albums with Singh — Silsilay (1998)
and Soz (2002). “Yeh ek bahut bada loss hua hai. Bahut afsos hua sun ke,” says
Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali, who sang with Jagjit Singh in a concert
organised by HT in Delhi on September 3.
