26/11 can occur in London
Global cooperation needed to fight terrorism

The warning by Scotland Yard that Mumbai-style massacre of innocent persons at the hands of Pakistani terrorists can occur in London anytime cannot be taken lightly. A senior detective of the counter-terrorism command in London has been quoted by the media as saying, “Mumbai is coming to London”. Security analysts believe that the communications captured through electronic eavesdropping indicate a definite plot by terrorist masterminds to kill a large number of civilians as it happened in India’s commercial capital last November. It is feared that a terrorist cell is already functioning in London to enact another 26/11 at the time of its choosing. Earlier it was reported that the Danish newspaper that carried cartoons of Prophet Mohammed could be targeted by jihadi terrorists. They are believed to have changed their target obviously for gaining maximum publicity.

London has been targeted by international terrorists in the past too, but that was quite different from the audacious attack in Mumbai, leading to the cold-blooded killing of 166 persons within a few hours. Britain is scared more because its capacity to effectively handle a commando raid by terrorists is doubtful. This lack of British confidence is based on a security drill carried out recently in south-east England which exposed the weaknesses in the security system. The weaknesses might have been removed, yet there are always chances of the system failing to save people’s lives.

The best remedy for handling global terrorism lies in international cooperation. But this should happen in the real sense, not in the manner the US has been “cooperating” with India in the fight against terrorism. Had the US shared all the information it had about the activities of arrested terrorist David Headley, 26/11 could have been prevented. What happened in Mumbai can happen anywhere, not only in London, if the world community does not realise the necessity of launching a united drive against the scourge. As it is well known, Al-Qaida functions through its affiliates like the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba and the Taliban factions in the Af-Pak region. There are reports of Somalian terrorist group Al-Shabaab, too, developing closer links with Al-Qaida. The picture that emerges is horrifying,and needs serious attention of the world.

Race against time
C’wealth Games leave India nervous

When the 19th Commonwealth Games open in Delhi on October 3 next year, there will be palpable tension as to how the players of the host country will fare. But right now, the worry is about how well India is going to organise the Games. Preparation on various fronts, whether it is the construction of stadiums or roads, is way behind schedule and quite a few people are chewing their nails. Some like Sports Minister M S Gill and Indian Olympic Association chief Suresh Kalmadi exude confidence in public, while others like Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dixit do not hide their nervousness. The anxiety is fully justified considering that most of the works are only half complete and many deadlines have been missed during the run-up.

The organising committee had sufficient time to complete the task, but like a mediocre student preparing for the examination who leaves everything for the last minute, they started rather late and then fumbled over many bottlenecks. The end result is that instead of having had dry runs before the hosting of the main event, they would be lucky if the work is even completed in time. The biggest worry is the stadia which just have to be complete, even if some of the roads and bridges are not — although even the latter eventuality would be a disgrace.

In the past, there have also been ego clashes among the Sports Ministry, the IOA and the Delhi Government. These will have to be gotten rid of at all levels if the speed that has been gathered recently in completing the work is to be maintained. There are still nine months to go. What is at stake is the country’s prestige. If each and every person involved in the ambitious project puts his shoulder to the wheel faithfully, we can still do it. Even the Commonwealth Games Federation President Michael Fennell has exuded this optimism of late.

Legalising prostitution?
Think of its implications
by Rami Chhabra

On December 9, a news agency reported a Supreme Court Bench, comprising Justice Dalveer Bhandari and Justice A. K. Patnaik, observing to Solictor-General Gopal Subramaniam during a PIL-hearing on large-scale child-trafficking in the country: “When you say it is the world’s oldest profession and when you are not able to curb it by laws, why don’t you legalise it? You can then monitor the trade, rehabilitate and provide medical aid to those involved in the trade.”

Trade? Unable to curb by laws? So legalise? With due respect to the Justices, aren’t there shades of Marie Antoinette in those remarks? By the same benchmark, murder — the world’s oldest crime, never eliminated, is a candidate for legalisation; also, bribery, corruption, money-laundering, black-money, for existing laws on each have hopelessly failed to remedy.

Would the honourable judges have spoken so if they had first enquired fully into the sordid facts of the sex-industry in this country? Have they noted its phenomenal growth in recent years as an “enabling environment”, deliberately created with large-scale international funds under the HIV/AIDs control programme, further emboldens those practising high-risk-sex-behaviour? What hearing has been given to understand the severe consequences of commercial-sex-exploitation to millions of women/children dehumanised in the nefarious sex-trade and millions more sucked-in as those used are tossed aside, the “market demand” seeking younger, voluptuous bodies to satiate voracious, jaded sexual appetites? Do we “monitor” such “trade” or endeavour to eradicate it? Can it be monitored? Should not the apex justice body have taken the government to task on what concrete efforts — and with what funding scale — it has applied to dent the problem rather than make ad-hoc suggestions for legalisation?

The Supreme Court would do well to note the ground realities in the very few countries — notably the Netherlands and Australia — that have legalised prostitution. In 2000, the Dutch legalised prostitution to “protect women by giving them work permits”. By 2009 the authorities have found the “business out of control”. No less than Amsterdam’s Mayor Job Cohen is on record: ”We’ve realised this is no longer about small-scale entrepreneurs, but that big crime organisations are involved here in trafficking women, drugs, killings and other criminal activities.” Responding to the situation, the Dutch Justice Ministry has appointed a special public prosecutor to close down prostitution windows and drug-selling coffee shops connected to organised crime syndicates. If organized crime and drug syndicates loom large in pocket-size, well-monitored Netherlands, imagine what is likely in India.

On Australia — which spearheaded legalisation in certain states from mid-eighties onwards — eminent Australian sociologist Shiela Jeffreys reports: “The social experiment of legalising brothel-prostitution has failed in all its objectives: i. e. stopping the illegal industry and police corruption, reducing the harm to women, stopping street prostitution. In fact, these harms have increased and significant new harms have joined them such as the traffic in women.” Beyond Jeffries, sizable documentation evidences growth of a still larger illegal industry and trafficking growth while legality coexists. Jeffries notes:

“Legalisation creates a culture of prostitution. Men’s prostitution behaviour is normalised. Prostitution takes an ordinary and everyday place in the culture and girls and boys, women and men are educated that the behaviour of buyers is acceptable…in Melbourne there are brothels on many streets, including a sadomasochist brothel and an ordinary brothel on the street where I live. Children walk past brothels on their way to school and buy their summer swimsuits in a shop opposite a brothel. Brothel owners are in the Rotary Club and are profiled as role models in respectable newspapers. Brothels are listed on the Stock Exchange.”

Not a joke but a sad fact are new “Vocational Training” schools in these “prostitution-legalised” countries; women social service-carers for older/invalid men obliged to escort charges to brothels for “services-entitlement” and much more. A scenario we wish to bring to India? Will NREGA then list prostitution as one employment-avenue to provide minimum 100 working days to the huge mass under the poverty line?

Strangely, while the prospect of changing country-wide negative mindsets towards prostitution is not daunting to today’s policy-makers, there is unquestioning acceptance that the behaviour pattern of some men to purchase sex cannot be altered. However, even as the Netherlands/Australia provide models of failed social experimentation, a sterling example of prostitution significantly curbed by targeting demand exists: Sweden’s 1999 law prohibiting the purchase of sexual services while decriminalising the prostitute — recognising that she (or he) is the victim and prostitution is violence against women. Sweden’s decade-long experience has demonstrated dramatic reduction in both prostitution and trafficking into Sweden. Proof of Sweden’s success is the adoption of its strategic response to prostitution/trafficking by neighbouring Norway, Iceland, Finland, Russia and several other countries.

Ironically, the Supreme Court, in a judgment delivered by Justice Ramaswamy on July 9, 1997, had explicitly described prostitution as “a crime against humanity, violation of human rights and obnoxious to the Constitution and Human Rights Act.” The judgment said: “All forms of discrimination on grounds of gender is violative of fundamental freedoms and human rights. It would, therefore, be imperative to take all steps to prohibit prostitution. Eradication of prostitution in any form is integral to social weal and glory of womanhood. The right of the child to development hinges upon the elimination of prostitution. Success lies upon effective measures to eradicate the root and branch of prostitution”.

Further clarifying: “Women found in the flesh trade should be viewed more as victims of adverse socio-economic circumstances rather than as offenders in our society”, Justice Ramaswamy had ordered. The directions given in the Order aim not only at giving benefits to the children but also to root out the very source of the problem as has been pointed out in the first part of the Order. It is for the government to evolve suitable programme for action.”

A decade later Justices Bhandari and Patnaik should have asked Subramaniam about this programme of action. Why did it not take adequate shape and size despite the very detailed orders passed by the Supreme Court a decade ago? Further, why have not the proposed amendments to give more teeth to the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act (ITPA) remained un-enacted, even though reviewed and recommended by a Parliamentary Standing Committee? The amendments include penalisation of the buyer alongside decriminalisation of the victim — the twin-path that must be taken if those trapped in dehumanising prostitution are to be retrieved/prevented entry and the macho-male-perspective of purchased-sex-as-alright is to be broken. Tiger Woods is finding to his cost, it is not.

The International Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) has amply documented: legalisation/decriminalisation of prostitution is a gift to pimps, traffickers and the sex industry. It promotes sex trafficking, expands sex industry; increases hidden prostitution, including child prostitution; remains inadequate in protecting women/their health while “normalising” predatory male sexual behaviour to the detriment of general society.

As this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner said so memorably in Stockholm, albeit in another context: “I refuse to accept the idea that the ‘isness’ of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal ‘oughtness’ that forever confronts him….So let us reach for the world that ought to be.”

The battle of inflation
by Punam Khaira Sidhu

Economics for most macho teenagers like my son Sehajbir is “for the girls”. But of late economics is what’s hitting their weekly allowance and sexual stereotyping and is thus “also for the boys”. So inflation, purchasing power and currency depreciation, are not just terms the girls love to mug up, but the hard reality impacting their weekly spend and junk food intake.

The confectionary stores have upped the price of pizza by almost 20 per cent, tandoori chicken and Chinese takeaway prices are up 40 per cent. Now most teenagers have a junk food habit and most parents are in denial about it. The first emotional appeal for higher allowances to combat inflation is usually to the parents. But when the parental response is an unequivocal “NO” the macho-men turn economic analysts and consumer-activists.

“How’re the global MNC chains holding their prices?” they query and plan a rally outside their favorite bakery to protest the price hike of their beloved blueberry tart and pizza. That’s when I step in with a lesson in the economics of inflation. I take the little men to the mandi where we do a six- month survey of the prices of wheat, sugar, oil, and vegetables — which are pizza staples, also milk, eggs, and chocolate for cakes, only to be confronted by the doubling of prices.

We talk of margins, futures and derivatives and forward-contracts for foodgrains, sugar et all that can help multinationals hold prices, where the homegrown Mom & Pop bakeries with JIT (Just in Time) inventories cannot.

The way to a young man’s heart is through his junk food. So these macho-men with severe cases of ADD (attention deficit disorder), actually, listen to the suddenly empowered parent. But abruptly, there’s a sniper: “what’s the government doing about it?” asks one bright thing. So I extol, about fair price shop distribution networks for the poor and, of course, DA (Dearness Allowance) linked to a basket of essentials for “babus” like us — so that when prices go up so does our DA.

The bleakness in my son’s eyes is suddenly replaced with a blinding light. “Eureka, we have it” he says, with all the aplomb of an Archimedes. “The solution is simple — its allowances linked with DA”. My little balloon of empowerment bursts even as I realise that his demand is both reasonable and rational. After all, if our salaries are DA indexed why shouldn’t allowances be too?

As I sit despairing over my budget deficit, I realise I have just lost the battle of inflation and economics. On the flip side I’m now updated about my DA instalment before anyone else. But at last call the little men were discussing how the DA instalment wasn’t neutralising price inflation adequately. The Finance Ministry mandarins had better watch out.

West has failed at Copenhagen
Now people should take up the cause
by Johann Hari

Buried deep in our subconscious, there still lays the belief that our political leaders are collective Daddies and Mummies who will – in the last instance – guarantee our safety. Sure, they might screw us over when it comes to hospital waiting lists, or public transport, or taxing the rich, but when it comes to resisting a raw existential threat, they will keep us from harm. Last week in Copenhagen, the conviction was disproved. Every leader there had been told by their scientists – plainly, bluntly, and for years – that there is a bare minimum we must all do now if we are going to prevent a catastrophe. And they all refused to do it.

To understand the gravity of what just happened, you need to know a few facts about global warming that, at first, sound odd. The world's climate scientists have shown that man-made global warming must not exceed 2C. When you hear this, a natural reaction is – that's not much; how bad can it be if we overshoot? If I go out for a picnic and the temperature rises or falls by 2C, I don't much notice. But this is the wrong analogy. If your body temperature rises by 2C, you become feverish and feeble. If it doesn't go back down again, you die. The climate isn't like a picnic; it's more like your body.

Two degrees is bad: 2C means we lose much of the world's low-lying land, from the island-states of the South Pacific to much of Bangladesh to swathes of Florida. But at every step up to and including 2C, if we reduce our emissions, we can stabilise the climate at this new higher level.

If we go beyond 2C, though, the situation changes. The earth's natural processes begin to break down – and cause more warming. There are massive amounts of warming gases stored in the Siberian permafrost; at 2C, they melt and are released into the atmosphere. The world's humid rainforests store huge amounts of warming gases in their trees. Beyond C, they lose their humidity and begin to burn down – releasing them too into the atmosphere.

These are called "tipping points". Because of them, the world gets warmer and warmer beyond 2C. They stand at the climate's Point of No Return, beyond which there lies only warming. We are only 6C away from the last ice age; we are setting ourselves on course to go that far in the opposite direction.

So what do we need to do to stay this side of 2C? There is a very broad, rock-solid scientific consensus that we need a cut of 40 per cent in the most polluting countries' emissions by 2020 if we are going to have even a 50-50 chance of doing so. Then, by 2050 we need an 80 per cent cut from everyone.

The fact we are only aiming for a 50 per cent goal of avoiding calamity is a sign of how far we have already made a terrible compromise with fossil fuels – but our leaders are refusing to aim even for those odds.

There was plenty of disgrace to go around in Copenhagen. The world's worst per capita warmer is the US, yet its President turned up offering a pathetic 4 per cent cut by 2020 – and once you factor in all the loopholes his negotiators demanded, he was actually demanding the right to a significant increase in US emissions. He caved to the oil and gas lobbies who virtually own the Senate.

It was – apart from anything else – a terrible betrayal of his own country's national security. In 2004, a leaked Pentagon report warned that unchecked global warming would ensure "disruption and conflict will be endemic ... [and] once again, warfare would define human life."

Similarly, the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao behaved appallingly. His country is the single largest overall emitter of gases, albeit with a far larger population, and much more need for development. Yet he vetoed the 80 per cent target by 2050, and refused to allow other countries to carry out basic checks to ensure China was carrying out the smaller cuts they were committed to. Again, he is betraying his own people: most of China's population depend on rivers that flow down from the Himalayan glaciers, yet they are rapidly disappearing. His name will be cursed in the Chinese history books.

The European Union was hardly better. They sat inert, refusing to make any larger offer to get the ball rolling. Only President Lula da Silva of Brazil came out boldly with an ahead-of-the-curve offer – but his heroism was met with awkward silence and avoided glances from the other leaders.

So here's the situation. There is no deal. The world's leaders refused to agree to limit our emissions of warming gases. The most they could agree was to officially "note" the scientific evidence about 2C – with no roadmap to keep us this side of it. You get a sense of how valuable this "noting" is when you look at the things the conference also "noted": the hard work of the airport security staff, and the quality of the catering in the Bella Centre.

I am normally somebody who supports incremental change. Most progress happens by inches. But with this problem, we can't wait patiently knowing we'll prevail in the next generation. The tipping points will make that too late. You can't defuse a ticking bomb slowly year after year. You either defuse it fast, or it blows up in your face.

Where does this leave us all? At least we know now: scientific evidence and rationality are not going to be enough to persuade our leaders. The Good Daddy isn't in charge. Nobody is going to sort this out – unless we, the populations of the warming-gas countries, make them. Politicians respond to the pressure put on them, and every single politician at Copenhagen knew they would get more flak at home – from their corporate paymasters and their petrol-hungry populations – for signing a deal than for walking away.

There is only one way to change that dynamic: a mass movement of ordinary democratic citizens. They have made the impossible happen before. Our economies used to be built on slave labour, just as surely as they are built on fossil fuels today. It seemed permanent and unchangeable, and its critics were regarded as deranged – until ordinary citizens refused to tolerate it any more, and they organised to demand its abolition.

The time for changing your light-bulbs and hoping for the best is over. It is time to take collective action. For some people, that will mean joining Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth or the Campaign Against Climate Change and helping them pile on the pressure. Every coal train should be ringed with people refusing to let it pass. Every new runway should be blockaded. The cost of trashing the climate needs to be raised.

There need to be parallel movements to this in every country on earth. Copenhagen had one value, and one value alone. It has shown us that if we don't act in our own self-defence now, nobody else will.

King’s visit to cement India-Bhutan ties
by Rup Narayan Das

Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Nangyul Wangchuck’s visit to India from Monday is yet another milestone in the relations between the two countries. This is the first visit of the Bhutanaese King to a foreign country after his coronation. Earlier, Bhutanese Prime Minister Jigme Yoser Thinley visited India from June 29 to July 4 this year close on the heels of External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna’s visit to Bhutan. During the Bhutanese Prime Minister’s visit, India announced Rs 10 crore relief for Bhutan, which was affected by floods.

The importance that India attaches to the land-locked country can be gauged from the fact that President Pratibha Patil and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi visited the Himalayan Kingdom in November last year to grace the coronation ceremony of Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wanchuk, who was sworn in as the fifth King of Bhutan.

Considering China’s increasing influence in Nepal, perhaps India can ill-afford to ignore its relationship with Bhutan. The fact that India occupies a unique position in Bhutan’s external relations is evident from the fact that India was the only country which was extended the privileged invitation to witness the gala pageantry.

Soon after his appointment as the Prime Minister of the first elected government in Bhutan, Mr. Lyonchen Lyonchen Jigme Y. Thinley visited India with a high-powered delegation in July last year. The high point of the visit was that India enhanced its standby credit facility for the Himalayan nation to Rs. 400 crore and exempted it from the ban on the export of essential commodities.

New Delhi has committed to double its 10th Plan assistance over the revised outlay in the 9th Plan period and to develop 10,000 MW of hydropower in Bhutan for export to India by the year 2020. This would be done through direct assistance and in collaboration with Indian public sector undertakings.

India has also agreed to positively consider Bhutan’s request for the removal of the export duty on the supply of industrial raw materials, including coal and steel billets, to the Himalayan nation.

During the visit of the Bhutanese King in September 2003, a memorandum of understanding for the Punatsangchhu Hydroelectric Power Project, to be built at a cost of Rs. 3,500 crore, was signed by the Foreign Ministers of the two countries. The 1095 MW Punatsangchhu project is expected to be completed in eight years.

The Punatsangchhu project is the latest to be built with Indian assistance after the Chukha, Kuricha and Dhala projects for which India has invested a total of Rs. 5,000 crore. The three-hydel power plants together produce 1400 MW of power. India draws power from the Bhutanese hydel plants. Besides, these projects are examples of India’s contribution to Bhutan’s development.

The India-Bhutan cooperation, however, is comprehensive and the gamut of cooperation touches many aspects of the economic development of Bhutan ever since Bhutan embarked upon its planned development in the 1960s. Some of the major projects in Bhutan carried out with Indian assistance are Paro airport, the Bhutan Broadcasting Station, major highways, electricity distribution systems and exploration of mineral resources.

In the field of education development in Bhutan, India has also been playing a very important role. India provides technical expertise and services of specialists to Bhutan in various fields. India offers scholarships to about 50 Bhutanese students every year in Indian institutes of higher learning.

In the evolution of democracy and a parliamentary polity, India has also been playing the role of a catalyst over the years. Ever since 1988, Bhutan has followed the policy of devolution of powers by taking steps to introduce a written constitution for the Kingdom of Bhutan.

By entering a new treaty of friendship and cooperation, signed on February 8, 2007, India and Bhutan moved a step towards restructuring their relations. It marked a historic moment in India’s relations with Bhutan.

India’s rich experience in democracy, particularly in electoral politics, which India extended to Bhutan, further consolidates the trust and goodwill between the two countries. Indian constitutional and legal experts and Election Commission officials have guided and trained their Bhutanese counterparts in the democratic process and electioneering.

Bhutan earned India’s gratitude a few years ago when Indian insurgents were flushed out of their hideouts in the jungles and hills of the country by the Royal Army. The regularity of exchanges of visits at various levels between the two countries is suggestive of trust and confidence between the two countries.

Delhi Durbar
Change of guard in BJP

The New Year may spell happy times for the BJP, at least for the post seekers in the parliamentary party. Suddenly with L.K. Advani and Rajnath Singh quitting their respective posts, there is a spurt of vacancies to be filled.

The party created one more post -- that of chairman of the parliamentary board -- for accommodating Advani. In the process five additional posts have fallen vacant. The post of president has already gone to Nitin Gadkari, while that of the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha has been immediately occupied by Sushma Swaraj.

With Jaswant Singh quitting as the PAC chairman four months ahead of the expiry of his term, Gopinath Munde is likely to replace him. The post of Deputy Leader of the party in the Lok Sabha is also vacant, and if the grapevine is to be believed, it is going to Ananth Kumar.

The chairmanship of the Committee on External Affairs, so far occupied by Sushma, is likely to go to Yashwant Sinha. His sins against the BJP gods seem to have been forgotten after he actively participated in the parliamentary party meeting and heaped praises on Advani.

Winter session blues

On the last day of the winter session of the Lok Sabha, the atmosphere in the House was so vitiated by repeated disruptions on the Telengana issue that all opposition leaders boycotted the valedictory function except L.K. Advani. It was, after all, his last valedictory as the Leader of Opposition in the Lower House -- a mantle he has passed on to his deputy, Sushma Swaraj. Not that Advani did not walk out of the House to protest the disruptions; he came back just before the "Vande Mataram" melody filled the air.

So soon as they turned up, a disturbed Advani asked Sushma where she had been. And she did have some explaining to do. Later, it turned out the BJP members were held up at the gate of the House when the concluding event began. So they stood there till the Vande Mataram recital was over -- in honour of the national song -- which ultimately brought the dissenting members together again.

Judiciary can’t keep secrets

In India nothing remains secret for more than a day, rues the Chief Justice of India, Mr KG Balakrishnan. From the second day onwards even confidential information starts appearing in the media and within a few days there is nothing that is not reported.

And surprisingly, the media reports are invariably correct, the CJI said in praise of the Fourth Estate, which was furious about the selective media leakage of the Supreme Court collegium’s decision to keep on hold the proposed elevation of Karnataka High Court Chief Justice PD Dinakaran in view of the impeachment proceedings initiated in Parliament.

When reporters pointed out that whoever was responsible for the leak had played with their careers, the CJI said he understood their plight as the media had become highly competitive. Legal correspondents had sought an appointment with him for an interaction in view of the two-week winter recess. n
