The BJP Joined Mr Manjhi In Bihar, Raged A Section Of The Party

The BJP government seems to have introduced outstanding developments in the state of Bihar, as is evident from the distribution of "mithai" among each other. On account of successfully completing the major milestone in terms of their alliance in Bihar they celebrate by feeding sweets to each other.

However, Chirag Paswan of LIP has said about the shock that he was in following the way the government has divided up the seats for election that is going to commence from the next month. "Our cadres expressed their surprise, we were not given what we had been told," replied Mr Paswan, when asked about his reaction about this. As a matter of fact his father, Ram Vilas Paswan, is already a union minister. According to the Chirag Paswan, his party will always remain "united", in every situation, no matter what happens. In this scenario, if his party decides to allocate seats to another partner, Jitan Ram Manjhi, they might have some reason. In addition, he is reportedly being assured by other leading BJP leaders that any concerns regarding this issue will be addressed.

History reveals that the BJP has always won the unwavering support of the upper caste voters in Bihar. For this upcoming election, where the party is all set to relocate Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister their immediate support goes to Mr Paswan and Mr Manjhi, as they are the ones with enough influence as the Dalit leaders and at the same time have competing claims of popularity.

Yesterday, when Mr Manjhi was 20 seats after he rejected a smaller portion, Mr Paswan was alloted 40 seats considering his popularity in the region. In earlier negotiations, as sourced from the BJP interiors, Mr Manjhi had reportedly said that Mr Paswan is being over-compensated. Manjhi has added that he did not win a single seat in the last Bihar election and that's the reason why party is doing all these in his favour. On the BJP Party's front, it's being said that BJP government is doing that in favour of the party. Quite obviously, the BJP has kept 160 seats for itself, while allocating 23 to Upendra Kushwaha, a leader of the Koeri backward caste.

Such an act on BJP's part is seriously commendable as they are putting up a formidable competition by taking on the trio of Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar, the current CM of Bihar is all set to serve the state for three terms consecutively. However, BJP is trying to put up a tough competition to him.

As for the BJP's latest trump card, Mr. Manjhi, hails from one of the most backward caste of Dalits or Mahadalits. Later, he became the leader of Mr Kumar's party and promoted as the Chief Minister, while Mr Kumar took responsibility for his party's catastrophic result in the parliamentary elections in Bihar. Mr Manjhi was excluded then who then set out to found his own party.

However, after all turmoil, the BJP has joined hands with Mr. Manjhi and his party in Bihar for some productive results in the upcoming election.

In addition, he also had given his reassurance commenting about his wish to give a strong push to the new potential businesses with whatever they require.

Till date, the brand  TATA has  encompassed a  wide range of sectors from salt to software conglomerate, from health to women empowerment to technology. When asked to comment on his investment rationale, Mr. Tata said, "What I look at while investing in startups is the quality and intelligence of the entrepreneurs” Probably that's a reason for  joining Kalaari Capital, a venture capital fund, as an advisor.

Following his acceptance speech at the Rockefeller Foundation where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award, Tata revealed that any businesses, irrespective of its size should try to make a difference in places where they operate and make sure that their effort helps in making the community prosper. In addition, he has also said that a  startup must echo the qualities that he stands for. It involves a  a sense of responsibility, passion, commitment and persistence.

And  perhaps that's  the  reason,  why Tata's  14th  investment if  for a  young food tech start-up  Holachef.

The Modi Government Is Resorting To Sports To Curb Radical Politics In Kashmir

In spite of being such a scenic beauty, the paradise of the Earth Kashmir is infested by terrorist attack
and the repeated display of extremist attacks in order to be a separate Islamic state. However, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has adopted wonderful measure to deal with the growing threats. The NaMo government is now turning to sports to keep radical elements at bay.

Modi's take on curbing the radical politics on the demand of separate Islamic state in Kashmir indeed demands appreciation, but, it's difficult to say how far it will reap positive results. The main objective to incorporate sports for dealing with the extreme situation is to keep young men away from getting into radical politics and spoil their life.

In order to implement this measure at the earliest the Home Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a meeting ten days ago with the Sports Minister. Sources said, during the meeting the former has strongly emphasized the part of involving the young folks of Kashmir in sports. And for this purpose, they have almost created a plan to prepare a comprehensive strategy, so that the youngsters in Kashmir can take active part in the same. Cricket and football have been identified as the two most popular sports to be included in the plan.

In an interview, Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said, "Sports would be a good way to positively motivate the youth... In our first budget, under the leadership of PM Modi, Rs. 200 crore was allocated to Jammu and Kashmir. This shows the Centre's special interest in Kashmir."

As per the decision, the NaMo Government has already walked an extra mile to improve the conditions of different stadia across the state.Several measures have also been adopted to deal with the training facilities in the state with utmost efficiency. And the best of all is the proposal for putting up talent hunts and competitions across the length and breadth of the state, so that the local talent can be extensively involved.

According to the Sports ministry, such a revolutionary step on the government's part is indeed the need of the hour. Sports not only will keep them away from getting into radical politics, but can also imbibe the spirit of brotherhood among the youngsters. It's a way to make them think that they are not separate and that they are the indispensable part of the United nation called India. 

It's been decided in the meeting that sports and similar activities in the state will give them a good exposure and at the same time they will be able to participate at national sporting events.

"This will help these youngsters from Kashmir explore the rest of their country and will help in integrating," said a senior government official.

Considering the present socio-political condition of Kashmir, it's been deemed that sports is certainly a good way to connect with and engage the young people. And the Modi government is all set to adopt this approach with a positive note.

Sangakkara Bids Adieu To The International Cricket

It seems, Sri Lanka's batting hero Kumar Sangakkara has no qualms about his approaching
retirement, says reports. Sangakkara, The veteran cricketer of the Sri Lankan squad is turning 38 in October and is going to end his international career soon.  And he is left with simply two Test matches of the three-match series signed against India that's going to start on Galle on Wednesday.

Kumar Sangakkara, the left-hander, is one of the most revered cricketer in the history of test cricket. He is also the leading run-getter among those still playing.in an  interview  38 year old Sangakkara said "37-year-old Rangana Herath in the Sri Lankan team and Surrey team-mate Gareth Batty, also 37, were the only ones who matched me in age.  The rest are mostly 26," he said. "I feel like a dinosaur in their company. It convinced me this was the right time to go."
Sangakkara, who has so far been the most dependable member of the Sri Lankan squad is still holding the fifth position in the all-time scorers list headed by India's Sachin Tendulkar.

Needless to say, 12,305 runs and 38 centuries by the cricketer is far exceeding the second-placed Alastair Cook of England, who has only 9,223 runs and 27 hundreds to his credit. Defying his age, Sangakkara has proved himself best with his excellent feats over the past year. His recent hits include 203 against New Zealand in January, after scoring a sweeping double century against Pakistan and 319 against Bangladesh last year.

And what's more! Sangakkara became the first batsman to hit four consecutive one-day centuries in the World Cup in Australia in February-March, following which Sri Lanka entered into the quarter-finals.

In an interview Sangakkara said, "The reason for the two and two split, even though it is not ideal, was the agreement I had with the previous selection committee when I was discussing my future." He also added, "I had plans to retire immediately after the World Cup, but they wanted me to try and play a bit more Test cricket. Four Tests was all I could offer them and they were okay with that."

He has also said that delaying his retirement plans would be nothing but delaying the future of some other potential players. Though, it will be quite a tough time for the Sri Lankans team to carry out without such a cricketer, but they have full respect for the Sangakkara's  decision.

Such a step on Google's part is also the need of the hour. And according to the authorities, such a step on Google's part will help it continue with its diverse business in a more streamlined manner.

It's Just A First Day Out And Windows Has 14 Million Fans

Getting fans to scream its amazing features is nothing new to Microsoft, especially when it' linked with Windows. One of the most popular offering from Microsoft, Windows comes out all new every time it has got a new update. And there's no difference with Windows 10, the latest and most novel innovation from the house of Microsoft.  As they have declared in their blog http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/07/30/windows-10-the-first-24-hours/, Windows 10, immediately after it's launched scored 14 million users. 

From Sydney to Nairobi to London to New York City, Microsoft celebrated with fans in every nook and corners. The leading officials from Microsoft say, "We have seen unprecedented demand for Windows 10, with reviews and customer feedback overwhelmingly positive around the globe. We are doing everything we can to upgrade the world to Windows 10 as quickly as possible over the coming days and weeks ahead".

According to the sources, migration to Windows 10 seems to show acceleration as the expansion campaign of Microsoft is including a lot of things in the OS beyond its Windows Insider program. Though, the news of the deployment of Windows 10 within insiders was making rounds for quite some time, it gradually rolled out to widespread availability.


Windows for the Insiders


According to the Microsoft, Windows 10  will be initially made available to roughly 5 million-strong Windows Insider group before offering the OS to home users who had already preorded it. Apparently, they have  started with the  deployment campaign  beyond the  OS to an additional 9 million users.

Yusuf Mehdi, the corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Windows and Devices Group, said that "The  company is working round the clock to drive the upgrade process. However, Microsoft is prioritizing quality over quickness."We are grateful for your excitement and enthusiasm and we appreciate your patience over the days and weeks ahead as we carefully roll out Windows 10 in phases to all of you that have reserved."

The Story Behind the Curtains


However,  there's  also another behind a successful  post-launch 24-hours and the flood of positive reviews. Many people still have some adverse reviews regarding Microsoft's latest OS. The folks at Mozilla aren't too happy about the way Microsoft is doing the upgrade, especially the migration of user settings.

In an open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella , Mozilla CEO Chris Beard stated about  "a very disturbing aspect of Windows 10." Upgrading to Windows 10 effectively supersedes user preferences for web browsers, replacing a Chrome or a Firefox with Microsoft's brand new Edge browser. And this is  interpreted as quite "unprofessional" by the Mozilla folks.  In the letter, Beard has also said , " It now takes more than twice the number of mouse clicks, scrolling through content and some technical sophistication for people to reassert the choices they had previously made in earlier versions of Windows. It's confusing, hard to navigate and easy to get lost."

Mozilla is a non-profit but is  constantly making serious  endeavours to  elevate the Internet experience beyond improving its own products. And such an  attempt from Microsoft is quite disappointing for them.  


And Finally….
However,  as  of now, the  makers of Windows 10 are quite upbeat with the  incredible response and popularity of Windows 10. They have expressed their gratitude to the users too.
