The Supreme Court on Wednesday made it clear that it will conclude today the day-to-day hearing in the politically sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi–Babri Masjid land dispute case at Ayodhya, saying “enough is enough”.
A 5-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that it is hearing the Ayodhya land dispute case for the last 39 days and no more time beyond today will be granted to parties to conclude the hearing in the case.
“This matter is going to be finished today by 5 PM. Enough is enough,” the bench, which also comprises justices S A Bobde, D Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S A Nazeer, said at the start of the proceedings on the 40th day.
The apex court had earlier said the hearing would be concluded on October 17. Now deadline has been advanced by one more day. The CJI is demitting office on November 17.
The bench also rejected a plea of a party seeking to intervene in the ongoing hearing and said no such interventions will be allowed now at this stage of proceedings.
Senior advocate C S Vaidyanathan, appearing for a Hindu party, has commenced his submission in response to a lawsuit filed by Sunni Waqf board in 1961 seeking title claim over the 2.77 acre disputed land at Ayodhya.
Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among three parties the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
Obesity is on the rise in the society due to sedentary lifestyle followed by people. Nowadays people are glued to their television or mobile phones and they seldom walk. Lack of exercise and following unhealthy food is another reason responsible for rise in obesity. Once considered as a problem only in high income countries, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low and middle income countries particularly in urban settings.
When our correspondent Nikhil Sagare spoke to Dr Ramesh Bharmal, Nair Hospital Dean he said, “People’s lifestyle has changed. Obesity has become a lifestyle disease. People’s eating habits have changed due to fast food culture. Children are served food containing fat instead of nutritious food. Due to obesity blood pressure increases, diabetes, heart attack and kidney disease occurs. For overcoming obesity people will have to stop fast food culture and perform regular exercise.”
Obesity in India has reached epidemic proportions in the 21st century. More than 135 million individuals were affected by obesity in India. The prevalence of obesity in India varies due to age, socio economic status, gender and geographical environment. Several studies have shown the prevalence of obesity in women were significantly higher as compared to men. India is following a trend of other developing countries that are steadily becoming more obese.
Dr Shujat Ali Rizvi said, “Junk, food and lifestyle is responsible for obesity. Moreover, people sit at their home and don’t go out which is further affecting their health.”
A report on fitness levels of Corporate India by HealthifyMe health and fitness app revealed that 63 per cent of executives are overweight. The report has been compiled by reviewing the diet and activity levels of close to 60,000 working professionals across 20 plus companies over a period of 12 months. These professionals range from factory workers, sales professionals, IT professionals, bankers, and others in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and remote locations like Jhagadiya, Khandala, and Vapi.
Dr Niranjan Shirsagar said, “Obesity is rising due to sedentary lifestyle. A person’s weight is calculated as per his age. A BMI of 25 is considered normal. A person with a BMI of more than 25 is asked to reduce weight. Genetic factors, junk food, lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle, lack of outdoor activity, playing games on mobile and laptop are responsible for rise in obesity. Due to obesity people are prone to blood pressure, diabetes, paralysis. People should do exercise, walking and jogging. They should have natural food, plenty of water, avoid junk food.”
The professionals were in the 21 to 60 years age group. When it comes to the number of steps taken in a day, an important indicator of activity levels, consumer goods sector has taken the pole position with a count of 5,988 when it comes to average steps taken in a day. The least active are executives from the financial sector who have an average count of just 4,969 steps. While, executives from other sectors like retail, manufacturing, marketing and IT take upwards of 5,000 steps. Lack of sleep, huge stress and food irregularities and lifestyle are the reasons.
Unhealthy, processed food has become much more accessible following India’s continued integration in global food markets. This, combined with rising middle class incomes, is increasing the average caloric intake per individual among middle class and high income households. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, NGOs such as the Indian Heart Association have been raising awareness about this issue
Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic concern. It results from the accumulation of excess fat on the body. It is a medical problem that increases the risk of other diseases and health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. The BMI is a calculation that takes a person’s weight and height into account. Weight gain occurs when a person eats more calories than his body uses up.
Recently, there was a report on an illegal fertility clinic in Telangana discovered 47 surrogate mothers – who had been lured to rent their wombs for money – living in “terrible conditions”. Following a tip-off, Telangana state police raided the fertility clinic in the city of Hyderabad and discovered the women, nearly all from northeastern states. The women were all huddled in one large room and had access to just one bathroom. They were mostly migrants from northeastern states who had been brought here through agents and promised up to Rs 400,000. They were staying here as part of an agreement between the (adoptive) parent and the surrogate.
The surrogacy industry has come under attack from women’s rights groups who say such clinics are “baby factories” for the rich, and lack of regulation results in poor and uneducated women signing contracts they do not fully understand. These days, poor woman are adopting to such trade, they give birth to as good as ten children in ten years, yearly they earn 4 to 5 lakhs of rupees for their family, actually nothing doing much. The food, medication and living are provided by hospitals and in most of the cases, rich families personally take care of health hygiene of surrogated mothers. These mothers find this earning much more largely than the earnings they get out of doing domestic labour or field labour. They manage to make a small home, they manage some savings and some small work for themselves, an average one woman in five to ten years earns minimum 25 lakhs.
Such earnings are blessing for poverty stricken villagers. Moreover they feel this is a good karma job, as they become reason for someone’s happiness. Where as earlier many of these women were pushed to flesh trade, which was horrific life.
There has been a surge in demand for surrogates after the government drafted a bill to outlaw commercial surrogacy – a multi-billion dollar industry.
Right now, the surrogacy industry is anything goes, which is really scary. There was legislation proposed in India in 2010, it just hasn’t been passed. At the same time, there’s no limit to how many embryos can be implanted. Doctors have been known to insert more than one or two embryos to increase the chances that the woman will get pregnant without losing time or money. The commissioning couple may only want one baby, so sometimes, when more than one baby is born, the couple isn’t told, even though it’s their genetic offspring. Then these babies are offered from the black market. There are many foreign couples that adopt such children in whichever sum you ask for.
Until the ban on surrogacy passes, India continues to be among a handful of countries where women can be paid to carry another’s child through in-vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer. The demand is very high right now and the involvement of migrant workers coming down from the northeast to take up surrogacy is new.
For pro-nationalist countries, like India where children are highly desired, parenthood is culturally compulsory and childlessness is socially unacceptable, the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) are rapidly globalising. Factors such as growth of infertility in modern society coupled with the rising demand for having one’s own child, adoption restrictions, the development of surrogacy contract and commercial surrogacy agencies has resulted in the increasing publicity and public interest in the formation of such agreements between infertile couples and surrogate mothers. A womb for rent is growing in India. There is no record for tracking the number of such pregnancies but doctors work with surrogates in almost all major cities. India has been regarded as the surrogacy capital of the world. Surrogacy business in India is estimated to be worth over Rs 2000 crore. Commercial surrogacy became legal in India since 2002. Here the total cost of having a baby through surrogacy is one-third of what it is in USA and other western countries. Moreover, the lack of regulation, Indian women being less prone to having smoking and drinking habits, the provision of enjoying the biological parent’s name in the birth certificate of the baby born, and the younger age of the surrogate mother holding a better chance of getting a successful pregnancy makes India a favoured destination for the intended parents. Surrogacy has risen from a position of shame to acceptance, need and means to survive. Commissioning couples from the U.S. and Europe use Indian surrogacy agencies because they’re as much as six times cheaper than Western alternatives.
Surrogacy companies claim to offer opportunities for women to escape poverty, promoting international surrogacy as a win-win for everyone involved. There are cases where American couples feel a little strange about what is happening, and the ethics of it, but turn a blind eye because they don’t want to pay the higher rates in the states. Many couples don’t want to know what’s behind the scenes, they want their baby fast, and they want it done cheaply. At the same time, there are couples that have an ongoing relationship with the surrogate and are very involved in making sure she’s making a choice and not simply being exploited. In spite of this industry having very dark side, it’s been bigger business in India and mother’s are restlessly milling babies.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had once said, “You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women”. 15th October was celebrated as International day of Rural women. The crucial role that women and girls play in ensuring the sustainability of rural households and communities, improving rural livelihoods and overall wellbeing, has been increasingly recognized. Women account for a substantial proportion of the agricultural labour force, including informal work, and perform the bulk of unpaid care and domestic work within families and households in rural areas.
Women used to command acute power and importance in our ancient culture. The proof of this fact can be found in all the scriptures and even our mythological stories. We worship Goddess Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati and many others. That shows how Indian civilisation had revered the female form.
Climate change affects women’s and men’s assets and well-being differently in terms of agricultural production, food security, health, water and energy resources, climate-induced migration and conflict, and climate-related natural disasters.
Women are powerful change agents to address climate change at scale. They are key actors in building community resilience and responding to climate-related disasters. Women tend to make decisions about resource use and investments in the interest and welfare of their children, families, and communities.
Empowerment of women involves many things – economic opportunity, social equality, and personal rights. Women are deprived of these human rights, often as a matter of tradition. In rural areas, women are generally not perceived to have any meaningful income generation capacity, and hence, they are relegated mainly to household duties and cheap labour.
At the same time, we cannot just brush aside women empowerment as a policy provided it is aimed at arming the poor and the uninitiated. In India, most of the action takes place in the rural areas because India is predominantly rural. Women are simply male appendages mainly because of the feudal characteristic of life there. The laws remain only in the statute book. They are seldom invoked.
The social legislation can be effective only when there is corresponding awareness among women.
There are signs of women pursuing things after their heart. But, they need catalysts. But the question of whether the catalysts should be in the nature of public spirited men or legal fiats or both depends upon the peculiar circumstances obtaining in each pocket.

South Africa was easy meat for the Indians as they succumbed to an innings and 137 runs loss in the Pune Test to lose the series 2-0 with one Test remaining. It has been a dream run for Virat Kohli under whose leadership our country has won 30 games in 50 test matches he has captained. The star performer surprisingly in the Pune Test was wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha who was brilliant behind the stumps and some of the catches were out of the blue. Wriddhiman is perhaps the best keeper in the world at the moment and Team India should pursue with him in all formats of the game.
Kohli and his boys have been performing consistently except for our World Cup ODI loss in England and our next goal should be to win the T-20 World Cup next year. India should give youngsters a chance in the 3rd Test now that we have won the series. South Africa will face a white wash and they will have to put a respectable show to avoid that humiliation

A big salute to Pranjal Patil
The true life story of Pranjal Patil, the country’s first visually challenged woman IAS officer, is something that gives everyone the young and the old a very big lesson -nothing is impossible if one has the will power, perseverance, steadfastness and a focussed determination to overcome all odds. This
young woman battled great odds in her life to achieve what she truly aspired for, to write the civil service examination, pass the civil service and become an IAS officer. She has now become the Sub-Collector of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala .
The loss of vision at the age of six did not deter the young girl from Ulhasnagar, Maharashtra, from pursuing her civil service dream. In 2016, she cracked the Union Public Services Examination on her very first attempt with a rank of 773. Though she was refused a job in the Indian Railway Accounts Service on the grounds that she was visually challenged Pranjal didn’t bow down and instead pursued to have her big dream come true. In her second attempt the very next year the youngster improved her ranking. Securing the 124th rank in the 2017 Civil Services Exams, she was posted as Assistant Collector in Ernakulam, Kerala, in 2018 and now has been appointed as the sub collector thus becoming the first visually challenged woman in the country to attain such a high post. The adage “where there is a will there is a way ” comes cent per cent true in the case of this young IAS officer. A big salute to her.

Negligence caused fire mishap
It is most unfortunate that Mumbai city is facing a series of fire accidents causing death of human life and property as well. In a latest fire in the Grant Road, a 22 year old died and six others including two fire fighters suffered breathing problem in the blaze that broke out in a ground plus four storey commercial building on a Sunday morning. This is one more case of negligence causing a fire mishap in the heart of city. The fire audit is not done on many building causing such serious fire accidents. Weekend workload on electrical gadgets operated continuously without being switched off on Friday is the cause for fire accidents. Carefree attitude of authorities before closing the office is the major reason. It is time to exercise caution and make sure that the electrical gadgets are put off before pulling down the shutters so that mishaps of such nature can be avoided. Fire fear in high rise building is a cause of worry these days.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused bail to civil liberties activists Sudha Bharadwaj, Arun Ferriera and Vernon Gonsalves, arrested for allegedly inciting caste-based violence at Koregaon Bhima in Pune and having links with Maoists.
Justice Sarang Kotwal rejected the bail pleas filed by the three activists. The accused were initially placed under house arrest in August last year by the Pune Police in Maharashtra and were later taken into custody on October 26, after a sessions court in Pune rejected their bail pleas. The activists, who have been in jail since then, approached the high court last year.
The police have booked the three accused and several other activists under provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Indian Penal Code.
The case was lodged against them in January 2018 after the Elgar Parishad, held on December 31, 2017, that allegedly triggered violence at Koregaon-Bhima village in Pune the next day.
The police alleged that the accused had links with Maoists and were working towards overthrowing the government.
The three accused, however, claimed there was no evidence to support the police case that they and other activists were creating a ‘war-like’ situation against the government.
As date of voting approaching near, election campaign reaches its peak across Maharashtra. The campaign will come to stand still on October 19. Thus, only five days are left for political leaders to put their points to voters of the state. Therefore, leaders of ruling and opposition parties are trying to leave no stone unturned in this election to connect with voters. The schedule of every leader is very busy. They have no time for proper food and sleep. Maharashtra will go to polls on October 21. Counting of votes will be held on October 24 and results will be declared the same day.
When our correspondent Nikhil Sagare spoke to Former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan he said, “Congress candidates are campaigning in their respective constituency. Central level leaders too are expected to join campaigning. Rahul Gandhi has started campaigning in Maharashtra and Congress will derive benefit out of it.”
Prime Minister, Chief Minister, ministers, former chief ministers and senior leaders from all the political parties are holding and addressing meetings and rallies to lure the voters. Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states are also campaigning in Maharashtra. On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi addressed election rallies. PM Modi addressed rallies in Jalgaon and Sakoli. On October 16, PM will address three rallies at Akola, Partur (Jalna district) and Panvel (Navi Mumbai). He will hold election meetings in Satara, Pune and Parli on October 17. PM Modi will address a grand public meeting in Mumbai on October 18. Rahul Gandhi addressed his first rally in the state. He addressed two rallies in Mumbai in Dharavi and Chandivali. Congress leader also addressed a rally at Ausa in Latur district.
Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi said, “Samajwadi party is working for the upliftment of downtrodden. Those who are creating a rift between Hindus and Muslims are a threat to the nation’s security. The economy of the country is witnessing a slump, unemployment has increased.”
On Monday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis held meetings in Amravati, Washim and Yavatmal districts, while Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray held seven meetings in Osmanabad and Solapur districts. MNS President Raj Thackeray held meetings in Yavatmal and Pune districts. President of NCP Sharad Pawar held meetings in Kannada and Vaijapur in Aurangabad and Shegaon and Kopargaon in Ahmednagar district. Prakash Ambedkar addressed four meetings in Parbhani, Jalna and Aurangabad districts. Asaduddin Owaisi also addressed a meeting in Bhiwandi.
Shiv Sena spokesperson Dr Manisha Kayande said, “The manifesto of Shiv Sena is publicised by us. Candidates who are contesting for the first time are meeting people by doing door to door campaigning. Shiv Sena is focused on this. Uddhav and Aditya Thackeray are holding 3 to 4 political rallies in a day. Aditya Thackeray while campaigning in Worli is touring all over Maharashtra too. Shiv Sena is expected to win more than 100 seats.”
It is worth mentioning that the BJP and the Sena alliance is seeking second term in the assembly elections, while the opposition Congress-NCP are contesting polls to make a comeback to power. The BJP-Shiv Sena alliance and the Congress-NCP coalition are locked in tough fights. Many small parties are also fighting elections for the spoils. The MNS of Raj Thackeray, AIMIM, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatna are prominent in this list.
NCP Mumbai president and spokesperson Nawab Malik said, “Candidates are having door to door conversation with people. Sitting MLAs have not performed their job well. Inflation, farmer suicides, unemployment has increased. Sharad Pawar’s rallies are getting good response from public. This time there will be a change in governance.”
According to the Election Commission of India, elections for the 288 assembly seats in the state will be held at 96,661 polling stations on October 21. Over 8.9 crore voters are the expected to cast their votes. Total 3,239 candidates are in the fray. 1,79,895 ballot units and 1,26,505 control units will be used. For the first time VVPAT (voter verifiable paper audit trail) machines will be used in Maharashtra assembly elections. 1,35,021 VVPAT machines will be used across the state.
BJP national vice-president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe said, “Every possible effort is made to reach out to voters. Campaigning is being done to attract new voters. We are not leaving any stone unturned to connect with voters. Modi and Amit Shah are senior leaders and their campaigning will definitely help us. Our party is expected to win 75 per cent seats out of 164.”
Planned Parenthood’s abortionists sometimes do a manual version to keep the baby’s head intact so it can be sold. The baby is delivered feet first and killed in the process. This is, of course, akin to an illegal partial-birth abortion. The fetal soup sold in China is nauseating to any normal human being, but are Planned Parenthood’s actions any less so? In China, the only people responsible for this human cannibalism are the paying customers themselves. But in the United States, because of the huge subsidies that Planned Parenthood receives from the American taxpayer, we are all “paying customers.”
According to Planned Parenthood’s FY 2013-2014 annual report, the supposedly non-profit organisation received a whopping $528 million. The US taxpayer is the single largest contributor to Planned Parenthood, providing some 41 per cent of its total revenue. Planned Parenthood committed 327,653 abortions in the FY 2013-2014, an estimated one-third of all abortions committed in the US that year. To put this number into perspective, Planned Parenthood abortionists are stopping a beating heart 37 times every hour, night and day, week after week, month after month. And there is another reason why we can make no claims of moral superiority over China. Unlike the People’s Republic, we are a democratic country. We elected the men to Congress who appropriated our money and gave it to abortionists like Nucatola. We elected the President—Barack Obama—who keynotes Planned Parenthood fundraising events. So we are all—collectively—responsible for doing something about Planned Parenthood’s dirty business.
Because of its trafficking in baby body parts, Planned Parenthood is already under investigation by the US House of Representatives and in several States, including Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas.
India may be little different, they may not be eating or doing any business on unborn babies but one thing is sure still the girl child is most unwanted and they are forced to get killed. There are 21 million “unwanted” girls in India due to parents favouring having sons instead of daughters, new government figures show. Released as part of India’s annual economic survey, the 2017-2018 estimate found that many couples had a “son preference” and would keep having children until they had a boy. Furthermore, the data estimated that there are 63 million women “missing” from India’s population — with 2 million more from every age group going “missing” every year — because the desire for sons has given rise to sex-selective abortions, and girls suffer disproportionately from disease, neglect, or inadequate nutrition. Economic and cultural reasons such as property passing on to sons rather than daughters, paying for a wedding dowry, and daughters moving to their husband’s house, all contribute to a preference for boys.
The situation on girl child has improved by leaps and bounds compared to even fifty years ago. Is a girl child completely accepted in the society? Not yet, but as years go by, improvement is a sure thing.
Why a girl child is not wanted? The base answer, I believe, is money. Once upon a time, parents would give a part of their assets to their married daughters as a way to help them be independent. These assets would be passed down to the daughters’ children. As years passed, this division that was wholly by ‘choice’ twisted up to be by ‘force.’ The in-laws would demand the parents to give more and more to them. What was a way to making sure your daughter’s future remained safe, became bride-price or dowry.
As poverty increased, the pressure to give dowry if one had daughters was enormous causing them to start hating/ disliking girls. Thus, birth of a girl came to be seen as an unlucky’ star. Not something to be celebrated, but something to be mourned. This was all compounded by the fact that girl were not allowed to get education, not allowed to work and not allowed to earn money. Thus, maintaining girls became an extremely expensive affair for the parents.
How to change this? Through education, equal work opportunities and banning the concept of dowry. I believe, the current generation will lead towards a better future for girl children. I can say I am seeing this myself, personally. After marriage, my mother was not allowed to work and was forced to leave her job. She was told that divorce was not a choice to be made. However, she was the first one to tell me – “Slap any man who tells you to stop working and that you should sit at home and pop out kids. Me and your father have given you such good education, forced you to study so that you can be independent and have choices if anything happens to you, the way it happened to me.”
