Mayawati Saturday RIGHTLY Boycotted PRICE Rise Meeting! As Centre to set up CMs panel to deal with rising food prices!
CPI-M warns against raising cooking gas prices! As the Centre on Saturday decided to set up a committee of chief ministers and union ministers to suggest steps, including toning up of the public distribution system, to bring down prices of food items. The decision to set up the high-level committee was taken at the conclusion of the meeting of Chief Ministers convened by the Centre to deal with the rising food inflation.
Posco among 100 companies to survive the next 100 years!The world''s fourth largest steel maker, Posco, has been included in a global list of 100 companies that will last the next 100 years, a company release said today. The list includes companies from 15 countries from all sectors of the economy.The list is released annually, since 2005 and compiled by the Canada-based Corporate Knights magazine and Innovest Strategic Value Advisors. The 2010 list was released by Corporate Knights on 28 January in the World Economic Forum meet at Davos, Switzerland.
STOP Cooking to Address Kitchen Crisis! Just stop cooking! Mind you,most of us may not afford anymore basic commodities for Sustenance as food happens to be our Biological NEED. It is Reminiscent of the Vanished species who could not sustain themselves in Food Insecurity. Home Accessories are also not so cheap as Services like Education, Electricity, Fuel and Health are Privatised and Economic Ethnic Cleansing deprived Indigenous aboriginal India of Food, Home, Land,jungle, Water, Space, Livelihood and Job! India's food price index rose an annual 17.56 percent in late January, just ahead of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) setting the stage for rate hikes by raising banks' cash reserve requirements more than what markets had been expecting.As persistently high food prices spill over into broader inflation and stoke public anger, government officials and the RBI are walking a fine line between controlling prices and nurturing the recovering economy.
Presiding over the meeting, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "while we did well to protect incomes of poor, we have been less successful on the food prices front."
Driven by rising prices of essential items like sugar, pulses and vegetables, food inflation touched a decade's high of nearly 20 per cent in December, though it moderated a little bit in January.
Mayawati skips PM's meet over price rise while My wife Sabita is quite Reluctant to defend her kitchen and pleads we have to maintain it as we are not Animals and have to eat Cooked Meal. We have been practicing Fruit eating which is not only Costly but also dangerous for Diabetic patients as it turned out to us. Sabita is Insulin dependent and her PP report showed 317 point. My PP points hightened to 386 last week. I had no way to have affordable meal in Jaipur, the shopping mall city where I stayed for a fortnight since 23rd December last. I Opted for fruits and continued the habit at home while I returned. As I belong to Peasantry, uncooked vegetable eating is nothing new for me which is Instant food and very suitable for diabetic patients. But the problem is vegetables are scarce.Bitter Gourds in Kolkata are rated at SIXTY Rs per KG. I have low Pressure and have to be alert to use NEEM, Chiraita and Methi.Vegetables are not so cheap. We have to opt for some Non veg options as Sea fishes which are cheaper and you have to cook them. But we may not get rid of Cereals and Pulses we happen to be habitual as Veg or Non Veg and it consumes Edible Oil and energy and fuel which creates the Kitchen Crisis in fact!
Besides Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, Punjab, Gujarat, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the committee will include Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia.
I have been discussing this topic with my Colleagues and the Hawkers and daily commuters in Down Princep ghat Local for last few days as all of us find it very hard to meet the ends in daily routine as Price Rise handicapped us and JOB Loss is the prevailing Scenario with Taxation load on the Common Man bailing out the Capitalists, continuing the Stimulus. Budget is all set to Perform the Last Rites of Indian Economy and we have no option but to skip Fuel, Electricity, Health and Education. It would Resolve the Much Hyped global warming problem as Himalayan Glaciers had been Showcased as melting and DESPITE the Scientific ERROR, Zionist Hindu world Leaders stand UNITED with CORPORATE Rajendra Pachauri and India MIC in Agriculture, the Best marketing Agent of the India Incs and LPG Mafia continue to Play a WEATHER Man as far as Price rise is concerned. Meanwhile, just a day after Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh expressed solidarity with Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) saying India maintains full confidence in IPCC, the European Union has also come forward with its support for the UN climate body which is under fire for erroneous prediction on melting of glaciers by 2035.Addressing media persons in New Delhi on Saturday, the European Union Secretary of State for Climate Change, Tersesa Ribera, said that EU has full respect for the IPCC and a small factual slip up will not affect the credibility of the institutions.
Meanwhile,Groundnut oil prices rose moderately at the oils and oilseeds market here today due to fresh buying from stockists and retailers amid reduced arrivals from producing regions. Refined palmolein also firmed up on increased off-take by traders coupled with higher Malaysian advices
Farm output in 2009/10 will be higher than initial estimates, raising prospects that food inflation, which has soared in recent months, will soon be controlled, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Saturday.Singh also said India was likely to grow at 7.5 percent for the fiscal year ending March, at a faster clip than the 6.7 percent economic expansion recorded for the previous year.On the other hand,Opposition ruled state governments on Saturday blamed the centre for the spiralling prices of essential commodities.Their dissatisfaction came after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met the chiefs of various states in New Delhi and discussed measures to check inflation.
Meanwhile Political Economic WWF continues Full Swing as IPL waits in the Wing and Test CRICKET Champinship Overwhelms Budget, Price Rise, Starvation, Displacement, Genocide Culture, Slaughter of Democracy, Constitution and the Republic. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's ride on a suburban train during his visit Mumbai to connect with the commuters came in for praise from local politicians, who hailed the gesture as "bold and practical". Funny enough, A VIP politician buying his own ticket after withdrawing money from an ATM and travelling in a commuter train touched a chord, the Crown Prince has won the Heart and Mind right from the Commerce capital.The Incarnation is only a matter of Time and Every problem would be solved as we Expect so in CHANGE Environment in West Bengal. A Brahmin Kanya in Kolkata Replicates the Gandhis, Nehru, Karl Marx and even Mao Tse Tung!
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Saturday RIGHTLY boycotted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with state chief ministers in New Delhi to discuss the price rise in the country.The state was represented by Finance Minister Lalji Verma, who read out a statement on Mayawati's behalf.While quite blatantly giving her government a clean chit, Mayawati did not mince words in passing the buck to the central government for the 'unprecedented rise in prices of essential goods'.
Meanwhile, in Kolkata, The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Saturday warned the central government not to implement recommendations to raise cooking gas prices by Rs.100 a cylinder and demanded a food security legislation to ensure the right to food.
Both Corporate Knights and Innovest track the performance of global companies on the basis of sustainability and innovation. The list selects the 100 companies likely to last the next 100 years on the basis of the strength of their relationship with stakeholders, value of their innovations, governance, transparency and capacity to handle environment-related issues and probity of their financial actions, it said.
Commenting on Posco''s inclusion in the list, C K Kwon, Managing Director of Posco (India), said "that Posco must count as among the world''s biggest corporate success stories." Set up in 1968, Posco was a relatively young company, yet it now operated the world''s two biggest steel plants at Gwangyang and Pohang in South Korea, along with many steel processing facilities globally.
The company is in the process of setting up the world''s third largest steel plant of 12mtpa capacity at Jagatsinghpur in Orissa.
Opposing suggestions to decontrol petrol and diesel prices, CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat called them 'anti-people' measures.
He also slammed recommendations to hike the price of cooking gas cylinders by Rs.100.
'Such a step will have a cascading impact on raising prices of essential commodities which are already at an all time high and will lead to a further burden on the people,' he said.
Karat said that it was 'most shocking' that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government was 'not seriously addressing the problem of rising prices' and was blaming it all on state governments.
Pointing out that food inflation in India, now at nearly 18 percent, was the highest in the world, the CPI-M leader said: 'We feel the primary reason for the failure of check price rise primarily rests on the centre.
A major reason for price rise is the severe weakening of the public distribution system.'
He demanded restoration of the allocations at least at the Above Poverty Line (APL) prices and attacked the UPA government for refusing to maintain a buffer stock of sugar when there was high sugarcane production. He also sought a ban on futures trading in essentials.
Briefing the media after a three-day meeting of the central committee here, Karat said: 'The government should bring a food security legislation which ensures a universal right to food, with a 35 kg family allocation of foodgrains at Rs.2 a kilo.'
The party also demanded that more essential commodities at subsidised prices should be included in the Public Distribution System (PDS) through central government subsidies.
Maywati expressed Jan 14 her intention to boycott the meeting.
'I will not attend the prime minister's meeting unless he removes union Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar from his cabinet because Pawar's policies alone were largely responsible for the price rise,' Mayawati had said at a press conference.
The whole tenor of the seven-page statement read out in the meeting was against the policies of the central government.
'We have always been taking all necessary steps to keep the prices in check, but the desired support from the centre was never forthcoming,' the statement said.
'Take for instance, our (state government's) ban on import of raw sugar until the end of the sugarcane crushing season, which was in sharp contrast to the union government's decision to continue importing sugar,' it said.
Claiming that the state government had also taken stern measures against hoarders and black-marketeers, Mayawati alleged that the central government had failed to take any steps to curb undue profiteering by big industrial houses.
The chief minister gave out a detailed account of what her government had done to ensure proper procurement of paddy and wheat besides ensuring remunerative price to the farmer.
'We have also taken care to regulate the sale and distribution of essential goods at regulated rates and have been selling 'pea dal' at a rate of Rs. 15 a kilo,' she claimed.
Mayawati went on to add that her government had done its bit to keep the price of sugar under check..
However,Prime Ministerdr Manmohan Singh told a conference of chief ministers of states that provincial governments should improve data collection as gloomy forecasts after 2010 saw the worst monsoon in 37 years had raised inflationary expectations.
Meanwhile, castorseeds bold and castoroil commercial declined owing to reduced demand from industrial users. Castorseeds futures dropped further on fall in demand from exporters.
Linseed oil prices remained flat in the absence of necessary buying support. In the edible oil section, groundnut oil and refined palmolein moved up by Rs 5 each to Rs 675 and Rs 390, respectively against Rs 670 and Rs 385 yesterday.
Turning to non-edible section, castorseeds bold fell by Rs 15 to Rs 2,935 from previous closing level of Rs 2,950 and castoroil commercial edged down by Rs 3 to Rs 617 against Rs 620 previously. Linseed oil held steady at Rs 560.
Moving to castorseeds futures section, castorseeds April contract resumed lower at Rs 2,882 and drifted further to close at Rs 2,854 from Rs 2,889 previously, showing a fall of Rs 35.
"This year the initial data made available by states showed much less production than what the states' latest estimates show," Singh said.
The government is expected to issue the latest crop estimates next week.
In November, the government said the country's summer-sown rice output would fall 18 percent, while cane production would drop 9 percent -- a forecast that raised the spectre of higher food prices and large imports of sugar and rice.
"As expectations play a very big role in determining food prices, the initial low expectation, therefore, also contributed to the price increase," Singh said.
Prospects of large imports by India, the world's top sugar consumer, catapulted New York raw sugar futures to a 29-year high this week, although on Friday, fears over the global economy helped futures fall to a six-week low.
Singh said the prospects of winter-sown crops were also bright, further improving the supply situation.
"Post-monsoon rains have been good. All this augurs well for our ability to stabilise food prices at a reasonable level," he said.
Rising food prices have given opposition parties ammunition against the federal coalition, which was voted back to power last year on the back of strong support in rural areas, where farmers have gained from higher grain prices.
"We are all very concerned about the distress that the sharp rise in food prices has caused to the common man," Singh said.
Uttarakhand CM Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said that instead of blaming the state governments for rise in food prices, the government should take more serious measures to curb these.
"I made an appeal to the Prime Minister to tackle more seriously price rise issue and instead of blaming the state governments, the issue of price rise is the federal government's responsibility. Whatever the federal government instructs the state government to do, we will not step back. We said that all the state governments would stand by your decision," said Nishank.
Terming inflation a 'macro problem', Orissa CM Naveen Patnaik, demanded the federal government to deal with the issue very firmly and efficiently.
"This is a macro problem, so it has to be dealt with very firmly and efficiently by the central government. We are doing everything we can to check the prices but the federal government is largely responsible," said Patnaik.
In the meeting, Dr Singh asked state governments to ensure that the food articles released by the Centre quickly reach the intended beneficiaries.
He also asked the state governments to focus attention to developing market intervention mechanisms that can act as a supplement to the Public Distribution System.
The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the essential commodities act to check hoarding of food items.
"I fully respect what the IPCC has been doing and the sound information it has been providing in the last years. So, it may be that there are some factual data that are wrong and that's something we don't like. But that's not the basis to challenge general content or the general document," Ribera said.
The embattled IPCC, the UN's climate science body, has also admitted last month that it had made a mistake in asserting that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035, a date it included in its 2007 assessment of climate impacts.
European Union Secretary of State, Ribera, who is also the President of EU council of Environmental Ministers, believes that the growing size of IPCC in areas of research makes it vulnerable for mistakes and there should be a permanent mechanism for constant checks.
"In such a big work, we always need to have a permanent way to improve and to update the methodological solution to avoid this to happen," she stated.
Ribera has personally written a letter to IPCC chief Suresh Pachauri.
Extending her help, she said I am sure rest of the members of the bureau and rest of the researchers, not the governments that take part in this exercise to help, to update and to improve these type of controls."
IPCC is in the eye of storm over its wrong prediction, as a section of climate scientists believes that other than false assessment on meting glaciers, IPCC report has more errors.
However, such concerns or skepticism has not been able to deter Prime Minister and even European Union to lose faith in the IPCC, which is presently engaged in preparing its next report.
The IPCC assesses the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change.
SRK arrives in Mumbai amidst tight security as the WWF ECONOMIC continues LIVE onscreen offscreen! Shah Rukh Khan returned to Mumbai Saturday afternoon from London amidst tight security to ensure that the Shiv Sena don't try to obstruct him or create problems for his family. Security has been heightened at the airport and at his residence in Bandra.
"I have only said what every Indian should say. I have met Balasaheb many times. What I said has been misconstrued. Mumbai is dear to me, why would I say something against it. I don't want to hurt anyone. I am what I am because of Mumbai," he said to the media at the airport.
Many Bollywood stars and politicians have stepped in to support SRK on his comment that Pakistani players should be a part of the IPL. Shiv Sena came down strongly on that comment, stating that he should leave India and stay in Pakistan.
Survival of the fittest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Survival of the fittest (disambiguation).
"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase which is commonly used in contexts other than intended by its first two proponents: British polymath philosopher Herbert Spencer (who coined the term) and Charles Darwin.
Herbert Spencer first used the phrase - after reading Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species - in his Principles of Biology (1864), in which he drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin's biological ones, writing "This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection', or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."[1]
Darwin first used Spencer's new phrase "survival of the fittest" as a synonym for "natural selection" in the fifth edition of On the Origin of Species, published in 1869.[2][3] Darwin meant it is a metaphor for "better adapted for immediate, local environment", not the common inference of "in the best physical shape" [4]. Hence, it is not a scientific description,[5] and is both incomplete and misleading.
The phrase "survival of the fittest" is not generally used by modern biologists as it does not convey the complex nature of natural selection, so they prefer and almost exclusively use the latter term (natural selection). Survival is only one component of selection. For example, where a number of males survive to reproductive age, yet only a few ever mate, the difference in reproductive success would stem from factors other than the ability to survive, such as an ability to successfully attract mates. In an evolutionary reproductive sense, fitness is the average reproductive output of a class of genetic variants in a gene pool, and should not be confused with meaning physically fit - biggest, fastest or strongest - and which does not necessarily lead to reproductive success [6].
An interpretation of the phrase "survival of the fittest" to mean "only the fittest organisms will prevail" (a view sometimes derided as "Social Darwinism") is not consistent with the actual theory of evolution. Any individual organism which succeeds in reproducing itself is "fit" and will contribute to survival of its species, not just the "physically fittest" ones, though some of the population will be better adapted to the circumstances than others. A more accurate characterization of evolution would be "survival of the fit enough".[7]
Moreover, to misunderstand or misapply the phrase to simply mean "survival of those who are better equipped for surviving" is rhetorical tautology. What Darwin meant was "better adapted for immediate, local environment" by differential preservation of organisms that are better adapted to live in changing environments. The concept is not tautological as it contains an independent criterion of fitness.[4]

Let's face it, jolly old St. Nick sure looks like he could use increased energy, improved skin appearance, better digestion, reduced risk of heart disease, and yeah...weight loss. And, well, these are some of the benefits of a raw food diet. Why raw? "It's a diet that consists of uncooked and unprocessed organic raw foods and usually includes fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds," explains Kara DiCamillo of TreeHugger. "When raw fruits and vegetables are cooked, they tend to lose the enzymes, minerals, and vitamins, which is why raw foodists find this diet so important to their health."
The raw food lifestyle, as discussed by Stephen Walsh in The Vegan magazine, also has "particular environmental advantages in that it often comes from trees (avoiding soil loss from tilling) and requires little packaging and no cooking. These characteristics benefit the health of the planet and all who share it." However, warns Walsh, since many raw foods require long-distance transportation, the focus should always be on seasonally available local fruits and nuts. A least one raw advocate--Raw Model--is tackling the food mile issue head on with a permaculture project in Minnesota.

Karna blames Agriculture Ministry for price rise
Karnataka today squarely blamed the Union Agriculture Ministry for the rise in prices of essential commodities and said the increase was due to factors outside the control of the state government. "Besides the decline in production and natural disasters, the reason for the price rise was also the statements made by senior officials of the ministry at New Delhi," Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa said at the conference on price rise.
The statements by the officials have led to "unnecessary panic and artificial escalation of the prices by the traders and speculators," said the Chief Minister whose speech was read out by state Food and Civil Supplies Minister H Halappa. Citing the example of rise of prices of tur dal, he said the production and consumption of superior quality tur were 3.14 lakh million tonnes and 2.90 lakh million tonnes in 2008-09 and 2009-10 respectively.
Although the production was partially lower, "suddenly for no apparent reason, the prices showed a dramatic upswing during the last four months." "This was mainly triggered by the statements of the senior officials at New Delhi," he charged.
Besides pointing out some lacunae in the control orders of Essential Commodities Act 1955, the Chief Minister said the free movement of essential commodities also led to traders storing pulses in Maharashtra where the stock limits were higher than in Karnataka.
''Bullying'' not to be tolerated, says Maharashtra CM
Maharashtra government today said it will ensure security for screening of movies of actor Shah Rukh Khan, under Shiv Sena threat for favouring inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in IPL, and asserted that it will act against anyone trying to "bully" others. Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan said violation of law and order by anybody will be dealt with strictly.
"All movies, be it of Shah Rukh''s or anybody else''s, if it is approved by Censor Board, it will run and the government will protect it," Chavan told reporters at the sidelines of the Chief Ministers'' conference on price rise here. "Even I will go and watch those movies," he said.
"We will make sure that not only Shiv Sena, but any person or any organisation trying to create disturbance is dealt with strictly as per the law of the land," he said. The Chief Minister was replying to a question related to controversy surrounding the movie star who is under attack by Shiv Sena for his remark on Pakistani cricketers.
The Sena has threatened not to allow the release of Khan''s upcoming film ''My Name is Khan'' on February 12. Against the backdrop of Rahul Gandhi''s visit to Mumbai remaining free of any untoward incident despite Sena''s call to show him black flags, he said, "I do not want to take credit.
I am happy about one thing that they (Sena) understood it. "I have said that the state will function as per constitution.
The government will take action against anybody who tries to bully someone," Chavan said.
Uddhav after Rahul visit: Mumbai under Mussolini raj
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit exemplifed the 'Mussolini' rule in Maharashtra that prevented Shiv Sena workers from exercising their democratic right of protest, the saffron party's leader Uddhav Thackeray said here Friday.
Referring to the tight security blanket thrown for Rahul Gandhi's four-hour trip, Thackeray said Shiv Sainiks all over the city were prevented from their democratic right of protesting by waving black flags.
'This shows what kind of a 'Mussolini' raj is prevalent in Maharashtra,' Thackeray said, referring to the Italian dictator and Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi's Italian origins.
He described Chief Minister Ashok Chavan of the Congress as 'a watchman' for waiting nearly an hour-and-a-half under a tree in Ghatkopar to receive Rahul Gandhi. In an unexpected change of plan, the Congress general secretary decided to take local trains instead of the helicopter to commute about the city.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi withdrawing cash from a bank ATM near Andheri railway station to buy a second class suburban train ticket, Uddhav Thackeray said it was expected.
'Mumbai means Delhi's ATM,' Uddhav said, implying that the city was allegedly being exploited by the rulers in Delhi for its wealth.
BT Brinjal issue: Ramesh loses his cool
2010-02-06 15:50:00
Last Updated: 2010-02-06 16:55:38
Bangalore: Minister of State for Environment and Forests (Independent Charge) Jairam Ramesh on Saturday had a heated exchange on the controversial BT Brinjal issue with opponents of the proposal here, and at the end of the nearly four-hour-long meeting, said all shades of public opinion had been given a chance to express their views, and it was now for his ministry to take a final decision.
Interacting with media here after the meeting, Ramesh said there was need to maintain a balance between genetic engineering of food products and ensuring food safety and security. He said the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, had also projected this view during the Science Congress in Kerala last month.
No decision on Bt Brinjal: Jairam Ramesh
Reacting to the aggressive opposition to a planned government move on Bt Brinjal, Ramesh said: "I am not an extremist. I am trying to take the middle path. All public consultation is now over. My ministry will now take a decision."
He clearly stated the decision over Bt Brinjal will be entirely his.
"The decision over the implementation of the Bt Brinjal will be by my ministry. Agriculture ministry's stand will not weight upon my decision," he said.
"I don't wnat to play to the scientific gallery. I don't want to play to any gallery," he added.
Punjab CPI (M) opposes introduction of BT brinjal
Earlier, Ramesh sparred with an anti-Bt Brinjal protester asking him to seek "mental help". The protester, an ayurvedic doctor, returned the jibe.
Outside the venue of the meeting, hundreds of angry protesters, some wearing brinjal garlands, raised slogans and waved placards.
Saturday's interaction was the last in the series, on the controversial move to introduce Bt Brinjal.Other meetings have been held in cities like Kolkata and Hyderabad.
Farmers, NGO's and members of various organisations have unanimously condemned the move to introduce Bt Brinjal, carrying placards with slogans like "we don't need Bt Brinjal."
They argued that its introduction would be unsafe, as research conducted in the field was still insufficient. Seed owners would not end up being farmers, but multinationals, they added.
Security was tight at the venue while the debate was on.
"Scientists should not display arrogance while discussing the issue. I am trying to find a middle path, which means (between) anti-democratic nature of NGOs and arrogance of scientists," Ramesh said, when a scientist asked him why farmers were resisting Bt Brinjal while they were open to accepting technologies like mobile phone.
Some farmers, however, favour the cultivation of Bt Brinjal, on grounds that a high yield would spell better economic stability and mitigate the financial problems of farmers.
Scientists stated that Bt Brinjal is still not ready for mass consumption. They said technology and research has to be fine-tuned. (ANI)
BJP aligns with SRK in tussle with Sena
Hindustan Times
The BJP seems to be re-branding itself by defending Shah Rukh Khan against the Shiv Sena's verbal assault on the actor for favouring Pakistani players' inclusion in the Indian Premier League. After strongly disagreeing with the Sena on its "Mumbai for Marathis only" campaign, the party rejected its description of Khan as a "traitor" or "enemy of India", saying he had done India proud with his work. The BJP will hold a special screening of My Name is Khan for senior leaders on Friday even as Sena workers warned Mumbai halls to boycott the film that releases on February 12. The screening film is being organized by Shaina N.C., the BJP's young face from Maharashtra. "I am doing it because SRK is my friend. Everyone has a right to say what he wants. Nobody should be targeted for his views," Shaina told HT. Khan had never been favourite of the BJP. He was seen as a close friend of the young Gandhis and opposed to the BJP. Therefore, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad's praise of Khan on Thursday appeared to signal a change. Insiders see politics in the BJP's change of tactics. Soon after last year's Lok Sabha election defeat, many leaders had sought a review of the BJP's hardline approach. Critics inside the party silenced them, claiming the support of the RSS.
Khan already has immense support from the youth, which the BJP could tap. "This could be a beginning," said a BJP leader, "for us to show ourselves a more reasonable party that supports moderation and not fanaticism of any kind."

Rahul Gandhi ends Mumbai visit, cocks a snook at Shiv Sena, MNS
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi completed an eventful four-hour-long visit to Mumbai on Friday afternoon, ignoring warnings of caution from the right-wing Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) about statements related to the city and other parts of Maharashtra.
Gandhi left by helicopter for Puducherry, but not before indirectly cocking a snook at both the Shiv Sena and the MNS.
During his four-hour-long stay, Gandhi swept aside security norms set for him to stop at an ATM in Santa Cruz for cash, boarded a local train from Andheri to Dadar, interacted with people in the streets and in the train and signed autographs. Besides this, he also interacted with and addressed Youth Congress activists in colleges in the city's Vile Parle and Ghatkopar areas.
Vile Parle, Dadar and Ghatkopar are Shiv Sena bastions politically, and Gandhi, it seems, appeared to be sending a pointed message to the right-wing outfit that he meant what he said that Mumbai is for all Indians, and not just for the "Marathi Manoos", Maharastrians and Mumbaikars.
The visit to Mumbai was already scheduled, and led to Gandhi missing out on an all important Congress meeting on the price rise in Delhi.
Soon after his arrival in India's business capital, Gandhi was greeted by sloganeering Shiv Sainiks waving black flags in protest against his remark in Bihar that the Shiv Sena and MNS needed to remember that north Indian security personnel had played a significant role in neutralising the 26/11 terrorists, and that Mumbai was for all Indians.
The SS and the MNS leaderships took umbrage at the statement, saying Gandhi was interfering with the internal affairs of Maharashtrians and not giving credit to people like Hemant Karkare, former chief of Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Force (ATS), police inspector Tukaram Omble, encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar and Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte, all Maharashtrians, who had also lost their lives in that tragic event.
Friday's visit saw the imposition of unprecedented security across Mumbai by the city's police. Movement was restricted in all areas that Gandhi visited. Traffic also came to a grinding halt.
No stone was left unturned to prevent the Shiv Sainiks from causing disturbances. Over 40 of them were arrested on charges of violating Section 144 of the IPC.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan can claim credit for ensuring an incident-free visit for Rahul Gandhi. His words that he would not let anyone lay an hand on Rahul Gandhi carried weight at the end of the day. (ANI)
I don't mind meeting Bal Thackeray, says Shah Rukh
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, under fire from the Shiv Sena for favouring Pakistani players in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said Saturday he had been misunderstood and he had nothing against meeting Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.
After being defiant for days, Shah Rukh made the conciliatory remarks -- 'If he (Bal Thackeray) wants me to meet him, I will do that' -- when he returned from London and was mobbed at the airport by the media seeking his reaction to the Shiv Sena's tirade against him.
The Shiv Sena has threatened to ban his upcoming release, 'My Name Is Khan', in Mumbai theatres for his remarks and sought an apology from him. Posters and banners of the movie have been torn.
'I have been misunderstood. Let's talk it out. I haven't said anything wrong. I have said what every Indian would have. Today what I am is because of Mumbai. Mumbai has given me everything, my nation has given me everything,' Shah Rukh said at the airport.
'How can I belong to any other nation?,' he added.
Asked if he would go and meet Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray over the issue, Shah Rukh said: 'I enjoy Bala Saheb-ji's company. He is a senior leader. I have been at his place many times, and if he wants me to meet him, I will do that.'
Earlier, Shah Rukh and Kajol came out of the airport separately. Shah Rukh was accompanied by a posse of police personnel and his own private guards, an airport official said.
The duo had gone to the US and Britain for the pre-release promotion of Karan Johar's 'My Name Is Khan'.
Some 500 security personnel, besides nearly 50 of Shah Rukh's private guards, were at the airport. Director Johar left the airport separately.
Shah Rukh's vehicle was accompanied by two police vehicles from the airport to his bungalow 'Mannat,' facing the Arabian Sea in Bandra West - a distance of around 12 km.
The Maharashtra government and the Mumbai Police have promised to provide full security to theatres and multiplexes where 'My Name Is Khan' would be screened.
Shah Rukh owns the Kolkata Knight Riders team of IPL.

Forget and forgive Jayaram's comments, says Karunanidhi
amil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi Saturday said people should 'forget and forgive' Malayalam actor Jayaram's alleged derogatory remarks about Tamil women.
In a statement issued here, Karunanidhi said: 'If Jayaram has spoken in a derogatory manner about Tamil women, then it is condemnable. Since he had sought an open and unconditional apology, one can leave this issue, following the principle of Anna (DMK founder C.N. Annadurai) and forget and forgive.'
The actor, who has acted in scores of Malayalam and Tamil films, lives here with his former actor-wife Parvati.
On Friday, Jayaram's house was attacked by a group of people belonging to Naam Thamizhar outfit for his alleged derogatory comments about Tamil women in an interview to a Malayalam channel.
Karunanidhi, in his statement, warned that police will not be mute spectators if people take law into their own hands.
At the time of attack, the actor's wife, mother, daughter and domestic helps were in the house. They had to lock themselves in a room to escape the mob's fury.
Twelve people have been arrested for the attack.
Jayaram, who returned to the city Saturday from a shooting schedule, again apologised for his comments which, he said, were made unintentionally.

China likely to replace India in Iran-Pak gas pipeline project
Tehran, Feb.6 (ANI): Iran Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said that China is keen to join the Pakistan-Iran Gas Pipeline Project.
Mottaki said the work on the gas pipeline project, which initially included India, and was known as the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline, would start soon, and Beijing is likely to join the project.
Talking to a Pakistani media delegation here, Mottaki blamed the US for sabotaging the pipeline and said that India's growing relations between America should not affect its relations with other countries of the region.
He said Islamabad should not hesitate to start the project despite the US pressure.
"We must not allow any third country to interfere in the bilateral relations of Iran and Pakistan," The News quoted Mottaki, as saying.
India had not proceeded with the 2,775 km trilateral pipeline on issues pertaining to security and hefty transit fee asked by Pakistan.
While some Indian officials also cited 'security' and 'non viability' of the proposed pipeline as the main reason for parting away from the project, it is believed that New Delhi pulled out from the project under Washington's pressure.
The IPI project was conceived in 1995 and after almost 13 years India finally decided to quit the project in 2008. (ANI)
Qaeda sets deadline and demands for European hostages
Al Qaeda's north African wing has confirmed it has extended its deadline for the life of a French hostage and given Italy 25 days to meet its demands for an Italian captive, according to an Internet statement.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said in comments broadcast on Monday that Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) had extended the deadline for the French hostage.
AQIM said in a statement later posted on Islamist websites: "After the end of the first period given to France and Mali by the mujahideen regarding the French hostage, the mujahideen have decided ... to extend the deadline to Feb. 20."
"France and Mali will be fully responsible for the life of the captive if demands are not met."
Frenchman Pierre Camatte was kidnapped in Mali in November, and AQIM has demanded the release of several prisoners held by Mali in return for his life.
The group has also claimed responsibility for the abduction of three Spaniards and an Italian couple.
"The mujahideen decided to demand the release of our prisoners whose names have been given to the Italian negotiator in return for the release of the Italian Sergio Cicala. We give the Italian government 25 days starting from the date of issue of this statement," the group said.
"We ask this government, involved in a war against Islam and Muslims, to be well aware that it has to be serious in dealing with our legitimate demands to protect the life of its citizen," said the statement, dated Feb. 4.
The group made no reference to Cicala's wife, who was kidnapped with him in December in Mauritania.
AQIM emerged in 2007 from the Salafist GSPC movement which battled Algerian security forces during the 1990s.
Last year it killed a British hostage. Analysts say the group is interested as much in securing multi-million dollar ransom payments as political goals.
AQIM has waged a campaign of suicide bombings and ambushes in Algeria but in recent years has shifted a large part of its activities south to neighbouring Saharan countries.

Varun wants BJP focus on the Ganga, cows and temples
Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh), Feb 6 (IANS) Contrary to new party chief Nitin Gadkari's campaign for development, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Varun Gandhi Saturday said the party should focus on the Ganga, safety of cows and care of temples.
'Price rise is an issue alright, but we should not forget what our party was formed for. We should not compromise on our self-respect,' he said while addressing a rally at Shikarpur here.
'If we don't fight for our self-respect, the Ganga (river), Gau mata (cows), our temples and the youth, then everything else will fall apart,' he added.
He said he has constructed around 200 temples in his parliamentary constituency of Pilibhit with his own money.
'While I was coming here. I saw many minars on the way. But I don't have any problem with that. What I feel bad about is the poor condition of our temples today. They are the signs of our faith and we should do everything to take care of them,' Gandhi said.

Gandhi said the country wants strong leadership today.
'People want a completely new kind of politics. They don't want leaders to sit in their bungalows and not visit their constituency. Unlike others, even after I won the elections, I regularly keep visiting my constituency,' he said.
Gandhi also spoke about issues of land acquisition and the plight of farmers.

Bhopal, Feb 6 (PTI) Foreign currencies worth around Rs seven lakh have been recovered from the residence of the senior IAS couple who have been placed after suspension after IT officials found cash amounting to over Rs three crore, official sources said today.

INTERVIEW - Russian doctrine does not reflect real world - NATO
NATO said on Saturday a new Russian military doctrine identifying NATO expansion as a threat did not reflect the real world and undermined efforts to improve ties between the Western military alliance and Moscow.
Russia was angered by NATO expansion to include former Warsaw Pact states after the collapse of the Soviet Union and was particularly incensed by the alliance's promise of eventual membership to Georgia and Ukraine, former Soviet republics Moscow still considers part of its sphere of influence.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev approved the new military doctrine on Friday.
"I have to say that this new doctrine does not reflect the real world ... NATO is not an enemy of Russia," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich.
"It does not reflect realities and it is in clear contradiction with all our endeavours to improve the relationship between NATO and Russia."
The doctrine identifies one of the "main external threats of war" as NATO's expansion east to Russia's borders, and sees U.S. plans to create an anti-missile shield in Europe as a concern for national security.
Rasmussen said NATO was keen to develop a strategic partnership with Russia and to expand cooperation in Afghanistan, where the two sides share security concerns.
He said he would stress these issues in a meeting in Munich with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
"I have urged Russia to step up their engagement in Afghanistan. I have presented proposals to the Russians when I visited Moscow in December as to how they could further their engagement," Rasmussen said.
"I think Russia and we share the same interests in success in Afghanistan."
LIMITS TO COOPERATION
Russia has agreed to allow land transit of non-lethal NATO supplies to Afghanistan and pledged to do all it can to help the alliance's troubled Afghan effort, short of sending troops.
However on his December visit to Moscow, Rasmussen failed to get immediate firm pledges of additional assistance for Afghanistan, including expanded transit options, helicopters and more support for training Afghan security forces.
During that trip Rasmussen rebuffed the Kremlin's call for new defence arrangements in Europe, saying he saw no need for a new security treaty proposed by Russia.
Medvedev published a draft post-Cold War security pact on Nov. 29, saying it could replace NATO and other institutions and restrict the ability of any country to use force unilaterally.
NATO countries have reacted sceptically, seeing the Russian plan as an attempt to divide the alliance and saying that the existing Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe is the right place to discuss security issues.
Rasmussen inherited an extremely strained relationship with Russia when he took over at NATO from Jaap de Hoop Scheffer last year and has made improving ties with Moscow a priority, stressing shared global security worries.
NATO froze ties with Moscow over Russia's 2008 intervention in Georgia and has only gradually resumed formal contacts.

Afghan extremism will spread to India: Mottaki
Munich, Feb 6 (DPA) Taliban-linked extremism in Afghanistan is blossoming because of the Western intervention there and is set to spread to India, Central Asia and Arab states, Iran's foreign minister warned Saturday.
Iran is deeply concerned to prevent the spread of the drugs trade and extremism from Afghanistan, but is also bitterly critical of the NATO-led and UN-sanctioned mission in the country.
'The policies imposed in recent years ... in security, fighting against extremism and drug traffic - the policies in this respect are all defeated and failed,' Mottaki told a midnight session of the prestigious Munich Security Conference.
Taliban-linked extremism 'can be divided into two (regional) branches: one is going to spread to the Arab countries, the other to India and Central Asia,' Mottaki warned.
And Iran has already had some 3,000 soldiers and police killed by drug traffickers moving from Afghanistan across Iran, he said.
After years of conflict in Afghanistan, the West is growing concerned that Islamist terrorist groups are looking to set up new bases in areas such as Yemen and Somalia.
Russia, meanwhile, warns that terrorists are launching new campaigns in the states of the North Caucasus.
The Munich Security Conference brings together top defence experts from around the world.
The weekend meeting was set to debate issues including the NATO mission in Afghanistan, in the presence of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

Channels asked not to show ''provocative'' news
Srinagar, Feb 6 (PTI) The district administration has asked local news channels to desist from airing "provocative" and "anti-government" footage in their current affairs and news programmes. The direction for "self censorship", according to Srinagar District Magistrate Mehraj Ahmad Kakroo had been given under Section 6 of the Cable TV Regulation Act, 2005, under which airing of "anti-government" content amounts to "breach of peace and tranquillity of the general public".
The local news channel operators have been asked to remain careful while airing daily news. They should not show any anti-government and provocative content.
"Any channel which fails to follow the directions under the programme code would be dealt with strictly as per the law," Kakroo said. The directions have been passed after the owners and editors of some local channels were invited for a meeting with top civil and police officers.
Sources said the government asked the cable TV channels to filter anti-government content with immediate effect and threatened to book them under Public Safety Act if they failed to comply with the orders. The directions came immediately after local cable TV channels telecast the footage of violent clashes between people and police after the death of a teenager on Sunday.
In 2008 Amarnath land row, government had banned the current affairs programmes of local cable TV channels after accusing them of airing "inflammatory" news and viewpoints.
Thousands protest in Kashmir over killing of schoolboy
Thousands of people took to streets in Srinagar on Saturday accusing government forces of killing a schoolboy, witnesses said, an incident that may escalate anti-India protests that have rocked the region this week.
The growing protests and anger, if not checked, could hurt fresh efforts to improve relations between India and Pakistan who claim the region in full but rule in parts and have fought two wars over Kashmir.
The officials of the two countries met on Friday to decide the agenda for high-level bilateral talks proposed by India over a year after the terror attacks on Mumbai.
"Blood for blood, we want freedom," the protesters shouted, as they marched with the body of 16-year-old Zahid Farooq in Nishat area of Srinagar, Kashmir's summer capital.
Witnesses said Farooq was killed on Friday evening when security forces opened fire on a group of boys without provocation.
Police said they are investigating.
Kashmir's chief minister Omar Abdullah has ordered a probe into the death, the sixth in the past month that locals have blamed on government forces.
"Incidents of unprovoked and innocent killings will not be tolerated and whosoever is involved in such killings will be brought to book," Abdullah said in a statement.
Police and paramilitary soldiers extended a curfew in most parts of Srinagar for a third straight day on Saturday and arrested dozens of activists in a bid to calm rising tension.
At least 400 people have been injured in pitched street battles between government forces and groups of rock-pelting Muslim protesters over the past three days.
The rise in tension in Kashmir is coinciding with a spike in violence by militant groups, most of them Pakistan-based.
At least six people including three militants and two security force personnel died in a gun battle and a rebel attack on Friday, police said.
Officials say more than 47,000 people have been killed since simmering discontent against Indian rule broke out in 1989.

G7 mulls threat from euro debt woes for recovery
Finance chiefs from the world's rich powers opened an icy summit on Friday mulling how to prevent worry about deepening southern European debt from derailing an already fragile global recovery.
Fresh off a run on a dogsled near the remote northern capital of a Canadian territory called Nunavut, host Finance Minister Jim Flaherty acknowledged that even before all Group of Seven finance ministers and central bankers arrived Europe's debt problems were front and center.
"We already had preliminary discussions on that subject," a parka-clad Flaherty told reporters even before a formal opening dinner that featured native delicacies like caribou and Arctic char. "The European (Central) Bank, of course, is here and there are concerns about Greece."
The G7 includes three key European economies -- Germany, France and Italy -- that made it a natural forum for talks with the United States, Britain, Japan and Canada.
Stock markets tumbled over the past week on fears that a bailout might be needed and the euro currency weakened as concern about fiscal problems in Greece, Spain and Portugal shot higher on investors' shifting list of worries.
Immediately after arriving in Iqaluit, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble tried to tamp down speculation the 16-nation euro currency faced serious trouble but made clear the European Union was mindful of risks and determined to deal with them.
"The EU has imposed heavy measures on Greece, like an austerity and savings program, and it will watch closely that Greece acts according to that," Schaeuble said.
The attention to European issues came as something of a surprise, given prior indications that financial-sector reform, Asian currency values and the role of the G7 itself might be enough to consider on Friday night and Saturday.
Flaherty said Greece's problems were a reminder of the financial crisis the world is trying to put behind it, much of it blamed on risky behavior and reckless lending by banks that G7 members still cannot agree how to put under firmer control.
"I think we have to be very mindful of the potential failure of domestic economies and of the persistence of some toxic assets in some banks," Flaherty told reporters before the meeting got under way.
No communique will be issued at the conclusion of the G7 gathering on Saturday afternoon, though there will be a closing joint news conference and some ministers will hold separate briefings afterward.
Flaherty said he wants the Arctic G7 to return to a "fireside chat" model as it originally was designed to be in the mid-1970s. In fact, it has been surpassed as the key forum for global policy discussions by the larger G20 that includes China and other key emerging-market countries and this could be the last G7 session outside the ambit of G20 gatherings.
It has its purposes, including giving ministers a chance to meet on the sidelines as U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner did on Friday with Japan's Finance Minister Naoto Kan and British Exchequer of the Chancellor Alistair Darling.
Kan, who only took office in January, said the two countries "face the same kind of problems" and U.S. officials said later they agreed financial-sector reform has to be a priority.
The Obama administration has introduced new elements to that discussion, with president Barack Obama's bid to limit some bank powers and the future size of banks and not all are in agreement on the direction they are headed.
Britain's finance minister Alistair Darling questioned some aspects of Obama's plan, saying risky financial activity would shift from banks to other institutions. He stressed the world should agree quickly on areas where there is common ground.
Flaherty diplomatically conceded that the approach from different countries was "not entirely consistent," but that was all the more reason for the ministers to get together to talk.
Asian currencies are on the agenda, several ministers said ahead of the meeting, though how meaningful they could be in China's absence was up for debate.
Nonetheless, currency talks can occur in the context of ongoing concern about "global imbalances" -- the difference between high-consumption economies like the United States that borrow to meet spending needs and ones that save like China and Japan and whom the U.S. needs to buy its debt.

| ood Tour of India : Diversity of Indian Cuisine This article is published with permission of Anjana Srikanth. Most Indian cuisine are related by the similar usage of spices and the use of a greater variety of vegetables than many other cuisine. Religious and caste restrictions, weather, geography and the impact of foreigners have affected the eating habits of Indians.
In the arid areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat, a great variety of dals and preserves (achars) are used to substitute the lack of fresh vegetables and fruits. Tamilian food uses a lot of tamarind to impart sourness to a dish, whereas Andhra food can be really chili-hot. It is believed that a hot and spicy curry may be one of the best ways to combat the flu virus! From, ancient times Indian food has been on principle, divided into the Satwik and Rajsik kinds. The former was the food of the higher castes like the Brahmins and was supposed to be more inclined towards spirituality and health. It included vegetables and fruits but, not onions, garlic, root vegetables and mushrooms. The more liberal Rajsik food allowed eating just about anything under the sun, with the exception of beef. The warrior-kings like the Rajputs whose main requirements were strength and power ate this food. | |
Just as Japanese sushi relies on the freshness of the meat and Chinese food relies on the various sauces to impart the right flavor and taste, Indian food relies on the spices in which it is cooked. Spices have always been considered to be India's prime commodity. It is interesting to see an Indian cook at work, with a palette of spices, gratuitously sprinkling these powders in exact pinches into the dish in front of him/her. A foreigner can discover the many differences in the foods of various regions only after landing in India, as most of the Indian food available abroad, is the North Indian and Pakistani type. The variation in Indian food from region to region can be quite staggering. Many Indian dishes require an entire day's preparation of cutting vegetables, pounding spices on a stone or just sitting patiently by the fire for hours on end. On the other hand, there are simple dishes which are ideal for everyday eating. | |
'Paan' is served as a digestive after some meals. The dark-green leaf of the betel-pepper plant is smeared with a little bit of lime and wrapped around a combination of spices like crushed betel-nuts, cardamom, aniseed, sugar and grated coconut. It is an astringent and is believed to help in clearing the system. Mumbai is known to be a good place for connoisseurs of paan. | |
| An everyday meal of a Punjabi farmer would be centered around bread, corn bread, greens and buttermilk (lassi). Buttermilk is whipped yogurt, and can be had sweetened or with salt and is usually very thick. Wheat is the staple food here. Shredded vegetables mixed with spices and stuffed into the dough, which is then rolled and roasted to make the delicious stuffed parathas. Some Punjabis also eat meat dishes, an Indian cottage cheese called paneer, pilaus garnished with fried onions and roasted nuts like cashew and topped with silver leaf and rose petals. Another specialty from this region is 'khoya' a kind of thick cream, mainly used in the preparation of sweets. 'Tandoori' food, a favorite with many foreigners is a gift from the Punjab. Various meats are marinated with spices, ginger and garlic pastes and curd and roasted over a primitive clay-pot(tandoor) with a wood-fire burning underneath. The special wheat bread cooked over the tandoor is called 'Naan'. |
In the beautiful and rich valley of Kashmir, all dishes are built around the main course of rice. A thick-leafed green leafy vegetable called 'hak' grows in abundance here and is used to make the delicious 'saag'. The boat-dwelling people use the lotus roots as a substitute for meat. Morel mushrooms called 'gahchi' are harvested and consumed around summer time. The tea drunk in Kashmir is not orange pekoe or Twinning, but a spice-scented green tea called 'kahava', which is poured from a large metal kettle, called 'samovar'. Fresh fish found in the many lakes and streams here are also consumed with relish. Lamb and poultry are cooked in the Mughlai style. The Kashmiri equivalent of the thali is a 36-course meal called the 'waazwaan'. Bengalis eat a lot of fish and one of the delicacies called the 'hilsa' is spiced and wrapped in pumpkin leaf and cooked. Another unusual ingredient used in Bengali cooking is the bamboo shoot. Milk sweets from this region like the Roshgolla, Sandesh, Cham-cham are world famous. In the south of India, rice is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Raw rice, parboiled rice, Basmathi rice are some of the different types of rice eaten here. Parboiled rice is raw rice treated through a process wherein the ingredients and aroma of the husk are forced into the rice. Steamed rice dumplings or idlis, roasted rice pancakes or dosais are eaten along with coconut chutneys for breakfast. A dosai stuffed with spiced potatoes, vegetables or even minced lamb constitutes the famous 'masala dosai'. Coconut, either in a shredded, grated or blended form is a must in most dishes here. Tender coconut water is drunk for it's cooling effect(now available in most supermarkets in cartons) on the system. The Chettinad dishes from Tamil Nadu consist of a lot of meat and poultry cooked in tamarind and roasted spices. Most Andhra food tends to be quite hot and spicy. Eating a banana or yogurt after such a meal can quench the fires raging within the system. Hyderabad, the capital city, is the home of the Muslim Nawabs(rulers) and is famous for it's superb biriyani, simply delicious grilled kababs, kurmas and rich deserts(made with apricots). In Bombay, the food is a happy combination of north and south. Both rice and wheat are included in their diets. A lot of fish is available along the long coastline and the Bombay Prawn and Pomfret preparations are delicious. Further down south along the coast, in Goa, a Portuguese influence is evident in dishes like the sweet and sour Vindaloo, duck baffad, sorpotel and egg molie. In Kerala, lamb stew and appams, Malabar fried prawns and idlis, fish molie and dosai, rice puttu and sweetened coconut milk are the many combinations eaten at breakfast. Puttu is glutinous rice powder steamed like a pudding in a bamboo shoot. Sweets are very popular all over India and are usually cooked in a lot of fat. 'Jalebis', luscious pretzel shaped loops fried to a golden crisp and soaked in saffron syrup can be had from any street vendor in North India. 'Kheer' or 'payasam' are equivalents of the rice pudding and 'Kulfi' is an Indian ice cream made in conical moulds and frozen. Tea is drunk as a beverage in India. Tea from the hills of Darjeeling and Kalimpong are boiled in milk and water and served with a liberal dose of sugar. Filtered coffee is a favorite among South Indians and is a very sweet, milky version of coffee. Many varieties of foreign whiskies, rum, even Tequila is available in India now. Indian beers like 'Kingfisher' and 'Kalyani' are mild in comparison to the Australian ones. Indian wines have begun making a foray into the market now. 'Grover vineyards' have a good red and a decent pink. One doesn't need an alcohol permit to consume liquor here, but permits are issued on request. The 'All India Liquor Permit' is an interesting document that states the 'requirement for a person to drink for medical reasons'. Prohibition has been imposed in some states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana. Among the local spirits available here is the famous 'Feni' from Goa concocted from cashew and coconuts (an ideal beach drink). 'Toddy' is tapped from coconut palms and is best drunk in the early hours of the morning. 'Tharra' is a deadly drink made from cane, orange or pineapple. This can make you stink to glory and is famous for it's killing capabilities. Most of the spices used in Indian food have been used for their medicinal properties in addition to the flavor and taste they impart. Ginger is believed to have originated in India and was introduced to China over 3000 years ago. In India, a knob of fresh ginger added to tea is believed to relieve sore throats and head colds, not to mention it's aphrodisiacal properties! Turmeric is splendid against skin diseases and neem leaves are used to guard against small pox. It is these complexities of regional food in India that make it a so very fascinating try! | |

For example, Brahmins (one of the highest orders of caste) are strict vegetarians usually, but in the coastal states of West Bengal and Kerala, they consume a lot of fish. Southern Indians generally speaking, have been orthodox in their tastes, probably because eating meat when it is hot all year round can be difficult. In the North, the weather varies from a scorching heat to a nail-biting cold, with a sprinkling of showers in between. So, the food here is quite rich and heavy. Also, the Mughal influence has resulted in meat-eating habits among many North Indians. Also, a variety of flours are used to make different types of breads like chapathis, 
Eating from a 'thali'(a metal plate or banana leaf) is quite common in most parts of India. Both the North Indian and South Indian thali contain small bowls arranged inside the rim of the plate(or leaf), each filled with a different sort of spiced vegetarian food, curd and sweet. At the center of the thali you would find a heap of rice, some puris(wheat bread rolled into small circular shapes and deep-fried in hot oil) or chapathis(wheat bread rolled out into large circular shapes and shallow-fried over a hot 'tava). Indians wash their hands immediately after and before eating a meal as it is believed that food tastes better when eaten with one's hands.http://www.food-india.com/indianCuisine/1001_1050/1003_food_tour_india.htm
Eating Habits in Ancient India
What Did People Eat in Ancient India?
Rice, wheat, barley and barbecued animals flavoured with spices and fruit formed the basis of the cuisine of rich Indians of the past. What else did they eat and why?
The dietary habits of India are quite well-known: there are millions of vegetarians, owing to religious beliefs that hold life sacred, while Hindus eschew beef and Muslims find pork abhorrent. Yet were these habits followed in ancient times? What did people eat hundreds or thousands of years ago?
Then as now, it is rice which formed the basis of most meals. The type of rice determined how it was prepared. Short-grained rice was pounded into flour and then used to make the pancakes known as chapattis which are still a very important part of the Indian cuisine. Long-grained rice was generally mixed with vegetable broth to form a kind of gruel. Medium-grained rice was the most commonly used as the basis for meals. Indian households resounded to the sound of the regular beating of mortar and pestle as the rice was separated from its husks, before being sorted and then rinsed regularly. It was then cooked in water brought to the boil. This rice could be a meal in itself, and often was for the poorer people who would be grateful enough for it. Alternatively, it could be served flavoured with ghee (clarified butter) or mango juice or garam or other spices. Cinnamon, cardamom and mace were the basic spices used in combination on nearly all dishes. These spices had been brought from the South Sea islands at a very early date.

Rice was heaped up on a plate and cooled with fans so that people could eat when they were ready. The most common side dish was the kind of curds still served today in northern India and elsewhere. Beans, barley and wheat were other staples which were used to create basic dishes, flavoured with the three base spices, to accompany the rice. The presence of meat varied depending on religious belief and caste. The ksatriya caste was, in general terms, the only caste rich enough to be able to have meat on a regular basis and not to be forbidden it. Animals and fish might be prepared in various ways: those of a suitable size could be barbecued on a spit, basted with ghee and marinated with spices, while others might be boiled with fruit or bitter herbs, tamarind or sorrel. Useful or milk-giving animals were generally not killed, although exceptions were made for gazelles. The fear of lack of food remained constant and there was very little waste. Spices formed an appetizer between dishes and also provoked thirst. Desserts were exquisite from a very early age and formed a centerpiece for banquets for the wealthy.
