Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on Sunday made a
strong pitch for expan-
sion of the UN Security
Council and reforms in
all global institutions, as-
serting that they should
reflect the world’s “new
realities” as it is nature’s
law that those who don’t
change with times, lose
relevance.
Curtains came down
on the G20 Summit on
Sunday which was slated
for September 9-10 at
Bharat Mandapam, in
New Delhi’s Pragati
Maidan. At the conclud-
ing session, Modi handed
over the gavel and of-
fered best wishes to Bra-
zil for the next presiden-
cy and extended full sup-
port to Brazil.
Speaking at the ‘One
Future’ session, Modi
made a fresh push for re-
forms in global institu-
tions, including the Unit-
ed Nations. Noting that
world is witnessing un-
imaginable scale and
speed in new-generation
technology, he cited AI
as an example and said
G20 countries need to go
beyond the “Principles
on AI” adopted by the
bloc in 2019.
PM Narendra Modi hands over gavel of the G20 Presidency to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula

who don’t
change with
times lose their
relevance.

“Both the accused of

of kidnapping was found
to be false, the woman
had gone with her ac-

Land allotment
rush before Model
Code of Conduct
First India Bureau
Jaipur
The government is focus-
ing on allotting land to
various societies to mo-
bilize communities for
votes in the upcoming
assembly elections. The
government is planning
to allot lands before the
model code of conduct
comes into force.
Preparations are un-
derway for land alloca-
tion scheduled for next
week. Government of-
fices, including the Ur-
ban Development and
Housing department,
JDA, Rajasthan Housing
Board and others were
open on Sunday as per
government’s instruc-
tions.
The pending cases of
land allotment to socie-
ties are currently under
scrutiny by the JDA,
Housing Board, and ur-
ban improvement trusts.
These bodies are tasked
with sending the list of
the cases to the UDH to-
day.
One major hurdle in
land allocation is deter-
mining the rate. Many
societies are demanding
land at the lowest possi-
ble rate. UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal has the
authority to allocate land
at rates up to 50 percent,
while the cabinet em-
powered committee can
decide rates up to 30 per-
cent. Any allocation at a
lower rate requires cabi-
net approval.
A meeting of the cab-
inet empowered com-
mittee is likely to be held
next week to on this
issue.

4. ndia has
c h a i r e d
G-20 Sum-
mit of the
world’s top
leadership, with aplomb.
While the world leaders
enjoyed the Indian ‘hospi-
tality par excellence’ at
New Delhi, they were sub-
tly given the message that
India has arrived at the
world stage. The world’s
who who were present
in India, for this mega
event. India’s pivotal role
in global geopolitics got
further enhanced by suc-
cessful presidency of G20,
after many success stories
scripted by India, in this
century. The oldest living
civilization and the largest
democracy in the world
rightfully deserves a per-
manent seat in the top
world forum (UNSC).
GENESIS OF UNSC
United Nations was
formed in the aftermath of
World war II , in 1945 as
the world was in ruins af-
ter thousands of deaths
and destruction. The Se-
curity Council (United
Nations’ principal crisis-
management body) is em-
powered to impose bind-
ing obligations and force
to maintain peace. The
victorious countries of the
WWII were given perma-
nent seat in UNSC with
VETO powers in all world
affairs. These five power-
ful countries were USA,
USSR, UK, France and
China.
NEED FOR REFORMS
UNO and UNSC also
have to change with times,
to honour the changing
dynamics of the emerging
world order. Structurally,
the UN and UNSC re-
mains largely un-
changed since its found-
ing in 1945, stirring de-
bate amongst members
about the need for re-
forms. 75 years is a long
time in the changing ka-
leidoscope of the world.
The world has changed
from Bipolar to Unipolar
and now Multipolar with
decline of so called super
powers and emergence of
new power blocks.
The following aspects
merit consideration for re-
forms in UN and UNSC:
l Undemocratic Repre-
sentation.
l Diminishing Power of
P-5.
l Emerging new world
order.
l Lack of Global Govern-
ance.
l Misuse of the VETO
Power.

stands at the door of
UNSC knocking for a
rightly deserved place on
the P-5 table. The follow-
ing points merit India’s
claim to UNSC permanent
membership-
l Largest Population. In-
dia is having the largest
population with 19 %
of world population
share.
l Mature Democracy. In-
dia is the oldest and
largest functional de-
mocracy with stable
credentials in the
world.
l Economic Power. India
is the Fifth largest
(GDP) economy and
fastest growing large
economy. It will soon
be third largest econo-
my with $ 05 trillion
GDP.
l Military Might. India is
a peace loving country
with fourth most power-
ful armed forces as a
‘Force of Deterrence’.
We are also a mature
Nuclear Power with
second strike capability.
l Friendly Soft Power.
India has been at the
forefront in all humani-
tarian aids across the
globe. India has also
contributed significant-
ly towards saving the
planet Earth, social em-
powerment and well-
ness of body, mind and
soul.
Contribution
Towards UN
India is a founder member
of UNO and it has active-
ly participated and posi-
tively contributed to all
UN lead activities for the
last 75 years. The follow-
ing points are noteworthy:
l It is the largest contrib-
utor towards UN Peace
Keeping, contributing
over 2,00,000 troops
l It is also large financial
contributor to UN ac-
tivities giving over $
40 Million / year.
l It’s always the first re-
sponder in case of natu-
ral calamities in the
world.
l India has been elected
member of UNSC for
08 terms.
l India has been a leading
voice on environmental
and social issues.
l India dons the leader-
ship of developing
countries by being
members of large no of
regional groups.
l Interests of Indian dias-
pora and business foot-
prints across the globe
have to be protected.
CHALLENGES
The permanent seat for In-
dia at P-5 table of UNSC
has to come through re-
forms in UN Charter. Pro-
cedure for UN reforms
resolution is that it has to
be adopted by 2/3 mem-
bers of UN General As-
sembly. Thereafter, it has
to be approved by UNSC,
without VETO. When it
comes to UNSC, four out
of Five permanent mem-
bers have endorsed India’s
claims to Permanent mem-
bership with exception of
China. China is likely to
veto the proposal, notwith-
standing the fact that India
had declined this seat, in
favour of China, when of-
fered by USA and USSR
in 1950s.
CONCLUSION
India’s meteoric rise in
world forum in 21st Cen-
tury and it’s friendly con-
tributions towards aim
and charter of UNO,
makes it a deserving case
for permanent member-
ship of UNSC. Vested in-
terests of the existing
members may sabotage
the justified claim of In-
dia, as of now but will not
be able to do it for long.
Certainly, this century be-
longs to India and the
world may ignore this fact
for some time, albeit at its
own peril.

SEAT FOR INDIA
AT UNSC
The permanent seat for
India at P-5 table of UNSC
has to come through
reforms in UN Charter.
Procedure for UN reforms
resolution is that it
has to be adopted by
2/3 members of UN
General Assembly.
Thereafter, it has to be ap-
proved by UNSC, without

clined this seat, in favour
of China, when offered by
USA and USSR in 1950s.

India’s pivotal role in global geopolitics got further

A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR

ormer Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, who
was once credited with Hyderabad’s trans-

cians who have been jailed on corruption charges.
AamAadmi Party’s Satyender Jain and Manish Siso-
dia and Trinamool Congress’ Partha Chatterjee con-
tinue to languish in jail after their arrest by the En-
forcement Directorate. In Maharashtra, former min-
istersAnil Parab and Nawab Malik were arrested but
later released on bail. Tamil Nadu government’s
minister V. Senthilbalaji is also in jail for graft. There
are several others, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul
Gandhi and Telangana Chief Minister K Chan-
drashekar Rao’s daughter K. Kavitha, who have been
interrogated by the ED.
The arrest of Chandrababu in a 3 am swoop by the
state CID in connection with the skill development
scam may not be the last. It, however, leaves the po-
litical field open for YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSR
Congress, BJP and the Congress for the 2024 Lok

Global Biofuel Alliance led by India but it couldn’t
stop a 100 percent consensus on all developmental and
geo-political issues for the New Delhi Leaders’Sum-

an emphatic diplomatic victory for India as it an-
nounced its arrival at the global stage as the leader of
the global South with its diplomatic finesse. Such was
the astuteness that
even the tricky issue
of Russia-Ukraine
war was hammered
out without any dis-
sent.
India also achieved
a significant victory
by getting a consen-
sus on a permanent

Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi on Sunday said
that the BJP and RSS
have nothing to do with
Hinduism and they will
do anything to get power.
The Congress leader
who represents the Way-
anad parliamentary con-
stituency from Kerala,
said, “I have not read
anywhere in any Hindu
book, heard from any
learned Hindu person
that you should terrorise
or harm people who are
weaker than you.
“The BJP and RSS
have nothing to do with
Hinduism. They are out
to get power at any cost
and they will do anything
to get power.”
“What the BJP and
RSS are trying to do, I
think it needs to be coun-
tered. It requires a politi-
cal imagination. It is very
important that it is done.
The BJP and the RSS is
trying to stop the expres-
sion and participation of
lower castes, other back-
wards OBCs, tribals and
minority communities.
For me, in India where a
Dalit or a Muslim, or
anybody is being mis-
treated or attacked, is not
the India I want, Gandhi
said.
Taking a swipe at the
ruling dispensation,
Gandhi said, “I don’t
think the type of political
imagination that is re-
quired is currently there.
We need to reconstruct
the political imagination
that will solve the prob-
lem.”
The Congress MPsaid
for him this is the central
problem in India which
is bigger than any other
problem. “The word
Hindu nationalists, this is
a wrong word, they are
not Hindu nationalists,
they have nothing to do
with Hinduism,” he said.

Even now there is no fi-

Yediyurappa on Friday
said the BJP will have an
understanding with JD(S)
for the Lok Sabha elec-

US President Joe Biden
on Sunday emphasised
that he does not aim to
“contain” China, even
as the two global pow-
ers grapple with in-
creasing divides.
While addressing the
press in Vietnam’s Ha-
noi, Biden disclosed
that he had an unan-
nounced meeting with
Chinese Premier Li
Qiang during the G20
summit in New Delhi,
where the discussions
centered around the
need for “stability”.
Biden is in Vietnam
to seal deals that will
further strengthen ties
between the two na-
tions. The move is part
of Washington’s broad-
er strategy to reinforce
its network of allies
across Asia and the Pa-
cific to counterbalance
China’s growing influ-
ence in the Indo Pacific.
Tensions have been
escalating between
Washington and Beijing
on various international
issues. Biden accused
China of attempting to
reshape the global order
to suit its own interests,
particularly in the realm
of trade.
The United States has
been investing heavily
in forging alliances as
part of its Indo-Pacific
strategy. This includes
initiatives like the Quad
security dialogue in-
volving India, Australia,
and Japan, as well as the
AUKUS pact with the
UK and Australia.
Nothing to do with containing
China, says US Prez Joe Biden
‘GOALTOESTABLISHCLEARTRANSPARENTRULES’
However, Biden reiterated that the US is not seeking
to encircle or contain China. Instead, the goal is to
establish clear and transparent rules for their relation-
ship. “I don’t want to contain China. I just want to ensure
that we have a relationship with China that is transparent,
well-defined, and based on mutual understanding,” he stated.
Biden said that during the G20 summit in India, a ground-
breaking new partnership was forged that will connect India,
Europe and the Middle East with transportation by rail and by
shipment, through energy supplies and digital connections.
“The link will increase the Global South’s capacity to grow, we
are going to have a new railroad from India all the way across
to the Mediterranean. Shipping lanes and pipelines across the
Mediterranean through Europe, up into Great Britain and be-
yond. That’s all about economic growth. There is nothing to do
with hurting China or helping China. It has to do with dealing
with everything from climate change to making sure that these
countries can succeed economically and grow,” said Biden.
He acknowledged that China was “beginning to change some
of the rules of the game in terms of trade and other issues”, “I
just want to make sure we have a relationship with China that
is on the up and up, squared away,” said Biden.

Scores of Indian Ameri-
cans held a peaceful pro-
test rally in the State
Capital of Sacramento
urging California Gover-
nor Gavin Newsom to
veto the anti-caste dis-
crimination bill, recently
passed by the State As-
sembly, which they as-
serted is discriminatory
and targets the Indians in
general and Hindus in
particular.
If signed into law by
Governor Newsom, Cal-
ifornia would become
the first State in the
United States and the
first jurisdiction outside
India to outlaw discrim-
ination based on caste.
The legislation revis-
es California’s Unruh
Civil Rights Act by add-
ing caste as a protected
category under “ances-
try”.
“We ask Governor
Newsom to Veto SB403
so history remembers
that you said no to dis-
crimination against In-
dian Americans and
said no to racially pro-
filing our community!”
Samir Kalra of the Hin-
du American Founda-
tion told the gathering
of Indian Americans in
front of the State Capi-
tol in Sacramento on
Saturday.
Indian-Americans urge California to
Veto Anti-Caste Discrimination Bill
Displaying posters and banners, the protestors, most
of whom had gathered from various parts of the
State, urged the Governor not to sign the bill into law
as this would end up in discrimination against the Hin-
du community. Much worse is that the bill amounts to
racial profiling of the Hindu community, they argued.
Hindu American Foundation has said that it is explor-
ing every option to protect the rights of Hindu Califor-
nians and is planning to file a lawsuit against this.
The bill was introduced by Senator Aisha Wahab, the
first Muslim and Afghan-American woman elected to
the state legislature, in February. The California Sen-
ate overwhelmingly passed SB403 “Discrimination on
the basis of ancestry” with 31-5 votes last week.

9. ‘Quick decisions help accomplish projects before time’
Abhishek Shrivastava
and Shweta Mishra Awasthi
Jaipur
big project like
Chambal River
Front in Kota,
that could take 5 to 8
years to complete, has
been completed in less
than 3 years. There have
been many ups and
downs and challenges
but the project will be
inaugurated on Septem-
ber 12 by CMAshok Ge-
hlot. Project Architect
Anoop Bartaria shares
experiences of working
on the project with First
India:
zWhere did the idea of
Chambal River Front
Project come from?
Anoop Bartaria: I had
earlierdesignedtheSeven
Wonders project in Kota.
I discussed with UDH
Minister Shanti Dhariwal
that we should do some-
thing that will change the
entire city as a ‘world
class’ city. I believe that
no city should be devel-
oped 360 degrees unless
it is developed complete-
ly. Every little thing is
executed beautifully in
European nations. But in
our country, instead of en-
tire nation, one or two
projects are thought of.
zA big project like
Chambal River Front
could take 5 to 8 years.
How did you accomplish
it in less than 3 years?
Any project is possible
before time only when
quick decisions are taken.
I used to visit the site reg-
ularly take quick deci-
sions to resolve problems.
Minister Shanti Dhariwal
used to regularly monitor
the project. If there is a
right combination of fi-
nancial capability, politi-
cal and architectural vi-
sion, the projects can be
completed before time.
CM Gehlot supported in
this side.
zWhat arrangements
have been made for the
security of this project?
An American firm is
looking after the project’s
operation maintenance.
There are three gates for
entry. No one can enter
without security check.
zWhat safety measures
have been taken in this
project if floods like
2019 occur again?
All major construction
of the project has been
done above the level of
250 meters. Only stairs
ramps are built below.
zWhat are your future
plans after this project?
I believe that other cit-
ies of the country will
also follow Kota’s ‘urban
transformation’ model.
The work of beautifica-
tion of Govind Devji tem-
ple of Jaipur will be start-
ed. The second phase of
the Chambal River Front
Project will also start.
This will be a completely
green field project. This
project will be 12 kilo-
metres long.

CM Gehlot cornered the
BJP for raising fingers at
the Gandhi family and
said nobody from the
family has been the PM
or a minister in 30 years
and that they have given
everything for nation’s
sake. Referring to the as-
sassination of former
PMs Indira Gandhi and
Rajiv Gandhi, he said
they have made supreme
sacrifices for the country.
Gehlot also said the
kind of atmosphere that
prevails in the country
today is dangerous. “De-
mocracy is in danger and
the Constitution has been
shattered,” he added.
The Chief Minister
said people are con-
cerned as the judiciary is
under pressure and agen-
cies, such as the income-
tax department, ED and
CBI are being misused.
He said the Rajasthan
government has received
acclaim from across the
country for its work. He
said PM had made a false
promise to Rajasthan of
giving a national status to
the ERCP. Gehlot exuded
confidence that the Con-
gress govt would repeat
in the assembly elections.

efit the rich not the

er, we get to know that he
made deals for his indus-
trialist friends,” she said.
The Cong Gen Secy
alleged that BJP’s only
focus is to remain in
power, whereas the poor
and middle class are be-
ing neglected.
Referring to “water-
logging” at venue of

she took a swipe at PM
saying, “Perhaps, the
God has said what the
people of nation aren’t
able to say out of fear re-
duce your ego, this coun-
try has made you a lead-
er, put country first, make

Gandhi highlighted
schemes of Gehlot-govt
said people should
choose a govt that works
for them not those
who seek votes in name
of castes religion. She
met people and clicked
selfies with women.
Rajasthan is the land of chivalry and affinity. Father
of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi dedicated his entire
life to public service. His principles inspired nation’s
politics. The State govt is also treading on the path of
public service to benefit every section of the society.
Spending the revenue earned from public on them is
the duty of a democratic nation. Government policies
should not be power-centric but people-centric.

LAUNCH BEFORE OFFICIAL EVENT, RAISES DOUBTS
Tonk: Former deputy CM Sachin Pilot on Sunday
highlighted the immense affection and enthusiasm
among the people of Rajasthan for Priyanka Gandhi
and urged her to visit the state frequently as people like
her. He recalled Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to the state and
expressed confidence that with support of both Priyanka
and Rahul, Congress would retain power in the upcoming
state assembly polls.Pilot also asked people to judge which
leader, ideology or people are working in the interest of the
state.“After three months there are elections in Rajasthan
and other states, we all have to see which leader, ideology
or the people are working in the interest of state, and who
are those people who work just to garner votes,” he said.
Hanumangarh: Zila Pramukh Kavita Meghwal inau-
gurated Indira Rasoi Yojana (Rural) in Hanuman-
garh even before the official state- level launch of
the scheme from Niwai. Questions have been raised about
what was the hurry to inaugurate the scheme? Shortly after
the inauguration, people left and chairs were vacant.
ABOUT 40,000 TO 45,000 PEOPLE
ATTEND PRIYANKA’s MEET: CONGRESS
PICKPOCKETS HAVE A FIELD
DAY AT PUBLIC MEETING!
There is tremendous enthusiasm in
the Congress camp due to Priyanka
Gandhi’s meeting in Niwai, Tonk. About
25,000 to 30,000 people gathered in the pres-
ence of Gehlot-Randhawa-Pilot. However, the
Congress camp is claiming a crowd of 40,000 to
45,000. This was the third big meeting after the
meetings of PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
According to sources, excited by the crowd,
Gehlot can organize a dozen such meetings
of Priyanka during the election campaign. If
Priyanka got similar response in those meetings
also, this will be a matter of concern for BJP
strategists.
The various pickpockets
became active during
Priyanka Gandhi’s public
meeting in Niwai. The pickpock-
ets stole mobile phone worth Rs
1 lakh and Rs 18,000 in cash
from the pocket of Abhishek
Bhardwaj, the brother of Sangan-
er Congress leader, Pushpendra
Bharadwaj. The cops deputed at
the venue, caught one pickpock-
et after the public meet ended
and he is being interrogated by
Niwai Police.

here are
plenty of
bags on the
m a r k e t ,
and this
season, we
want the big ones.
Gone are the days of
tiny bags, because
now, we’re bringing
all of our belonging
with us every single day.
In a world where big
trousers, big boots, and
big sunglasses are al-
ready reigning supreme,
it only makes sense that
big bags would make
their inevitable return. It
is only a matter of time
before they grace the
runway and get spotted
on the street. The style
refers to a large, slouchy,
often crescent-shaped
shoulder bag with a
long strap. Ahead,
large purses have
not only made a
comeback but
how they’re not
the bland itera-
tions of the past.
The result is a bag trend
that feels as fun as previ-
ous beloved bag trends
but is far more practical.
The best bags are ones
that are versatile, practi-
cal, and timeless. An in-
vestment purchase, they
are often classic in terms
of colour and silhouette,
but standout statement
pieces can also retain
their value long after the
season has finished.
2023 bag trends are a
standard lineup of wick-
er purses and totes. Not
only is wicker bags per-
fect for beach days, but
it’s also uniquely suited
for a wide range of out-
doorsy summer errands.
Also, structured bags are
soo in trend, while opt-
ing for one look for
sleek but not too serious
silhouettes with minimal
hardware. Keep it mini-
mal in style, the XL size
is all you need to make a
style statement. While
we are talking about
structured bags, the
crescent moon is a must
to have in your collec-
tion. The ends of the bag
round upward and in-
ward, creating the shape
of a moon. The shape
itself is so interesting
and versatile and can be
styled for an evening
out. Keep any embel-
lishments to a minimum.
In oversize fluffy and
tuffy tote bags, muted
shades will make your
bag stand out but not be
too much. Try olive
green, burgundy, or soft
green.
In a world where
fashion meets
functionality,
oversized bags
are steering the
course, cementing
their place as the
ultimate statement
pieces. City First
embraces this trend
that’s both practical
and stylish, offering
a refuge for
essentials without
compromising
on aesthetics!

Industry as trendy

dresses.After Bollywood movies
started showcasing spectacular
costumes and the latest clothes
multiple fashions garnered
popularity among the general
public. At present, the Indian
fashion industry has levelled
up and transformed into a
flourishing independent in-
dustry.
These celebrities have al-
ways been fashion icons with
fleek appearances. They get
into the public eye through
various social media plat-
forms, fashion magazines,
reality shows, advertise-
ments and fashion shows
to remain in the lime-

fascinating for youth
and hence they follow
their styles. They focus
on the unique and
funky dresses worn by
these celebrities
which act as a catalyst
for the promotion of

Bollywood celebri-
ties have an undenia-

These iconic

glamorous bodycon dresses that
showcase their impeccable
curves, Bollywood actresses
seem to effortlessly navigate the

in the world of style and fashion.
Bollywood attires consist of
numerous realistic styles that
range from classic to experi-
mental, simple to elaborate and
traditional to modern in vari-
ous colours, cuts and designs.
The latest Bollywood dresses
include revived vintage and lat-

and Anarkali
salwar kameez
have all been
embraced with
open arms.
Funky inno-
vations such as
the long top
and Patiala
combination,
halter neck
blouse, sleeve-
less choli, print-
ed saree and
stitched saree have
trickled down from
movies into our dai-
ly lives. Chiffon and
georgette are not tra-
ditional Indian fab-
rics but today are
widely used to
make gorgeous
cocktail and
casual wear
sarees and
dresses.
T
Celebs' clothing styles
rule the hearts of
youngsters as they not
only influence fashion
but are also the
trendsetters.
Therefore, City First
brings you an insight
into the realm of
Bollywood's stellar
fashion sense!
