‘Terrorist’ is freed in Pakistan

Founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) Hafiz Mohammed Saeed is freed by Pakistani court yesterday. Only few day ago our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that Pakistan would have to ‘walk the talk’ on controlling terrorism. Now I will wait for reaction from our government.

A Pakistani court yesterday released one of India’s most wanted terrorist suspects, casting a shadow over an announcement about peace talks between the nuclear-armed neighbours next month.

Hafiz Mohammed Saeed is the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group, which India accuses of carrying out a string of terrorist attacks, including the Bombay train bombings that killed 186 people in July. India has repeatedly asked Pakistan to extradite Mr Saeed, whose group fought Indian forces in the disputed region of Kashmir and was blamed for an attack on the Indian parliament in 2001.

Out of India, a ‘third wave of globalization’ emerges

After Mittal now its TATA turn. India’s largest private sector group with 22 billion dollars in annual sales is eyeing a far bigger prize.

 

MUMBAI, India Across much of the world, India is still known as a land of elephants and maharajahs. But one day, it might be known for Tata.

You may never have heard of the Tata Group. But there is a fair chance you have sipped a Tata drink, put on Tata shoes or slept in a Tata hotel in New York, London or Sydney. Your company’s software may be made by Tata. The ball bearings in your power drill may be from Tata. When you last checked e-mail, telephoned Beijing or used Skype, Tata’s 60,000 kilometers, or 37,000 miles, of deep-sea cables may have connected you

Skills Gap Hurts Technology Boom in India

We produced 3 million graduates every year, still our industry facing shortage of skilled graduates. If government is listening then she should start thinking now. Provide proper infrastructure for studies for poor graduates; give them skills needed for our growing economy. Quota system won’t solve the problem; government should start working on building infrastructure. Companies who are making big bucks should be allowed to build more infrastructures. This shortage will hit industries hard; outsourcing business will be much more effected. If companies can’t find skilled worker they won’t be able to deliver quality products, cost of labour will increase as market can’t find proper skilled graduates. This entire factor will lead to total downfall of our economy. Listen now, Act now or be ready for sorry state. !!

TIRUCHENGODE, India — As its technology companies soar to the outsourcing skies, India is bumping up against an improbable challenge. In a country once regarded as a bottomless well of low-cost, ready-to-work, English-speaking engineers, a shortage looms.

 

India still produces plenty of engineers, nearly 400,000 a year at last count. But their competence has become the issue.

A study commissioned by a trade group, the National Association of Software and Service Companies, or Nasscom, found only one in four engineering graduates to be employable. The rest were deficient in the required technical skills, fluency in English or ability to work in a team or deliver basic oral presentations.

Mattoo case: A chronology of events

Man convicted of student murder

 

A court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has convicted a man of the 1996 rape and murder of a Delhi student in what is being seen as a landmark ruling.

 

Santosh Kumar Singh was tried for killing Priyadarshini Mattoo in 1996, but freed for lack of evidence.

The case was taken up again by the Delhi High Court earlier this year following mounting public pressure.

Sentencing will be announced on 30 October. Singh has been told to expect a death sentence or life imprisonment.

“The [earlier] acquittal shocked the conscience of this court,” Judges RS Sodhi and PK Bhasin said in the judgement.

Outrage at ‘sleep with my wife, take my kids’ remarks on video

A spoof video of David Cameron which invited voters to sleep with the Tory leader’s wife and take away his children was posted on the internet yesterday by a Labour MP.

Conservative MPs were outraged but Mr Cameron remained relaxed, claiming the spoof had boosted interest in his genuine “WebCameron” site.

 

 

“Yo. My name’s Dave, yeah? Thing is, I’m just like you. I’ve got the same worries, the same troubles, the same cares, the same trouble and strife.

“Want to sleep with my wife? That’s cool. Come down, check it out, we’ll sort it out. Safe.

“I’ve got two kids – kid one, kid two. You like them? Take one – that’s cool.”

The video, just over a minute long, appears on the website YouTube and was filmed with the help of a fellow Labour MP, Tom Watson, who posted a more traditional attack on Mr Cameron.
