First India Bureau
Jaipur: Aam Aadmi
Party’s Rajya Sabha
MP Sandeep Pathak al-
leged that the main ob-
jective of the arrest of
Delhi Deputy CM Man-
ish Sisodia is to prevent
the Delhi CM Arvind
Kejriwal from moving
ahead in politics.
He said that AAP is a
national party and the
manner in which Man-
ish Sisodia has been
arrested, it is clear
from that the aim of
the Center is to some-
how stop Kejriwal from
moving forward.
Pathak said that BJP’s
objective is to spoil the
governance of Delhi.
“Various tactics are
being adopted to
achieve this,” he said.
Pathak said that ear-
ly Satyendar Jain was
arrested and now it is
Sisodia. “Sisodia’s case
will be dismissed in the
court,” he added.
Meanwhile, AAP on
Monday also held a
protest against the
Centre over the arrest
of Delhi Dy CM Man-
ish Sisodia by CBI in
liquor row. The protest
march started from
Narayan Singh Tirtha
and moved towards the
BJP office.
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: The politics in
the Bharatiya Janata
Party is showing differ-
ent colours in the
month of March. On
March 4, Vasundhara
Raje camp has decided
to celebrate her birth-
day with a bash at Sala-
sar while BJYM has
decided to hold a pro-
test and gherao of As-
sembly on the same day
.
BJP workers and
leaders are also in a
state of confusion due
to 32 big events on a sin-
gle day in view of the
upcoming assembly
elections. Raje’s birth-
day falls on March 8,
but in view of Holi and
Dhulandi, it has been
decided to celebrate her
birthday at the famous
pilgrimage Salasar
Dham under Dev Dar-
shan program like eve-
ry time. In this series,
the leaders of Raje
camp including Ashok
Parnami, Rajpal Singh
Shekhawat, Kalicharan
Saraf, Pratap Singh
Singhvi, Yunus Khan,
Prahlad Gunjal and
others are busy in prep-
arations for the birth-
day and a series of
meetings are going on
by the pro-Raje leaders
in every district and the
preparations are in the
final stage.
This is also impor-
tant because in the dis-
trict where Raje is dem-
onstratingherstrength,
Deputy Leader of Op-
position Rajendra
Rathore is MLA from
Churu, as well as BJP
state president Satish
Poonia is also original-

Jaipur: After a break of

But in the midst of
all this, a big
question re-
mains about
the appoint-
ment of the
Leader of the
Opposition, the
Chief Whip and the
Dy Speaker of the Legis-
lative Assembly
.
LoP Gulab Chand Ka-
taria resigned after he
became Governor of As-
sam while Chief Whip
Mahesh Joshi resigned
from the post. The post
of Dy Speaker is con-
tinuously lying vacant
since the formation of
the govt. Now the exer-
cise to fill all these three
posts is going on. It has
been discussed that the
BJP may give the re-
sponsibility of LoP to
Dy LoP Rajendra
Rathore. However, in
this list, there is some
possibility of some oth-
er senior MLA getting a
chance. For Chief Whip,
there is a strong possi-
bility that Dy Chief
Whip Mahendra Choud-
hary will be promoted.
For Dy Speaker of the
Assembly names of Ra-
jendra Pareek and Dr
Jitendra Singh are do-
ing the rounds.

TOP TWEETS
FOR THE CONGRESS
ONE ‘UNIFYING’
YATRA IS CLEARLY
NOT ENOUGH
he electoral divi-
dends of Bharat Jodo
Yatra are still await-
ed but that hasn’t
stopped the Congress
from planning another march---
from Arunachal to Gujarat. Con-
gress leader Jairam Ramesh
said that the party was consider-
ing the East to West yatra from
Arunachal Pradesh to Por-
bandar. The timing of the yatra
is not yet confirmed as it could
happen before June or Novem-
ber this year. The yatra would be
multi-modal. The hope is that
this second yatra would further
invigorate the party before the
2024 Lok Sabha elections.
At the plenary, Rahul Gandhi
described the Bharat Jodo Yatra
asa“four-monthtapasya”which
brought the party alive and re-
quested party president Mall-
ikarjun Kharge to plan a “ta-
pasya ka programme”. Despite
its previous attempts to target
Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
it continues to attack him in the
hope of making political gains.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra’s version
of inclusive politics may still be
unacceptable to most elector-
ates who are strong adherents of
Modi’s ideology
.
T
upreme Court’s
order dismissing
lawyer Ashwini
Upadhyay’s PIL
on constituting a
renaming commission to re-
store the original names of
historical and religious plac-
es should put a stop to the
renaming culture. But will
it? The petition sought a re-
naming commission which
was not granted. State gov-
ernments may still have the
freedom to rename “cultural
and religious places” and cit-
ies after Hindu gods, kings
and luminaries. There are
several proposals in the pipe-
line to remove the name of
invaders and it will have to
be seen if the Supreme
Court’s order will prevent
governments and religious
fundamentalists from imple-
menting their plans.
Justices KM Joseph and
BV Nagarathna found the
petition to be against the
secular principles enshrined
in the Constitution. “You are
relooking at the past selec-
tively. India is today a secu-
lar country. Your fingers be-
ing pointed at a particular
community, termed barbar-
ic. Do you want to keep the
country under boil,” Justice
Joseph asked.
Importantly, the court said
that Hinduism has no place
for bigotry as it is a great re-
ligion. “Perhaps Hinduism is
(the) greatest in terms of
metaphysics. Please do not
belittle it,” Justice Joseph
said as he asked the petition-
er not to use it for a particu-
lar purpose. Indeed, the Su-
preme Court has said in sev-
eral of its previous judg-
ments also that Hinduism is
a way of life which does not
allow bigotry. It is a fact
which some forces need to be
reminded of repeatedly. If
only a better sense prevails
and the forces for name
change give up attempts at
creating schism in society!

S
awaharlal Nehru’s secular
India was largely derived
from our colonial masters
and only took root in larger
cities. It was incompatible
with a Hindu-majority popu-
lation that had been ruled by
foreigners—Islamic invad-
ers, and the British—for 1200
years. Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi refers to this as
“the slave mentality of 1,200
years.” Hence, secularism
must recognize the legiti-
mate and unmet needs of its
majority Hindu population.
Contrary to what The New
York Times consistently ar-
gues, Narendra Modi’s BJP is
correcting Nehruvian ex-
cesses instead of imposing
majoritarianism.
How to Make India’s Sec-
ularism Work: The idea of
secularism enshrined in the
Indian constitution is admi-
rable. It means that all reli-
gions are treated equally un-
der the eyes of the law. Secu-
larism does not, however, im-
ply that all philosophies are
equal. Jihadism obviously
cannot be accepted as it poses
serious threats to the way of
life of the Hindus, the Sufi
Muslims, and all other non-
Muslims. Legally it falls un-
der “hate speech”, “sedition”
and likely even “treason”.
It needs to be monitored
and nipped in the bud wher-
ever it rears its ugly head,
particularly in mosques and
madrassas. In this regard, AI-
based monitoring technology
should be utilized, including
online tools. Wahhabism/
Salafism has nearly eradicat-
ed Sufism from the Kashmir
valley
. This needs immediate
attention as well. Select Indi-
an Sufi saints should be rec-
ognized as ‘Cultural Icons’
and Sufism should be recog-
nized as “India’s Islam”. You-
Tube videos on Indian Su-
fism, incorporating Rumi and
Imam Ali’s teachings, should
be disseminated freely
.
Also, the Supreme Court
has ruled that politicians can-
not use religion or caste to
seek votes. This is secularism
in practice. Similarly, the ex-
change of confidential mat-
ters of the state (if at all) be-
tween the unelected RSS and
the elected BJP, would be le-
gally incorrect. Compliance
can only be achieved if it is
self-enforced by both parties.
The Tricky Issue of Con-
version and Freedom of
Religion: Religious conver-
sion has always been a sensi-
tive topic in caste-ridden
Hindu rural India. Accord-
ing to Article 25 of the Indian
constitution, “all persons are
equally entitled to freedom
of conscience and the right
freely to profess, practice and
propagate religion.” In 1977,
the Indian Supreme Court
ruled that the “right to propa-
gate” refers to a right to
transmit or spread one’s reli-
gion but not a “right to con-
vert.” This has been the
standard since.
In 1999, Graham Stuart
Staines with his two young
sons were gruesomely mur-
dered in Odisha. According
to right-wing activists,
Staines and his family were
allegedly converting Adiva-
sis to Christianity under the
guise of his missionary ac-
tivities. He had been working
in India since 1965.
Muslims in Secular In-
dia Need to Change: For
secularism to be effective, it
needs two hands to clap. Mus-
lims in India must come for-
ward, embrace the Sufi be-
liefs of the subcontinent, re-
ject ghettos and divisive ide-
as, come down firmly on Ji-
hadism, adopt modern educa-
tion, and compete openly for
the top positions in India’s
corporations. Currently, the
Muslim community, 75% of
whom are Dalits, lags on eve-
ry socio-economic develop-
ment indicator, especially in
the Hindi heartland. It is true
that with partition the politi-
cal and intellectual elite class
of Muslims mostly migrated
to Pakistan and there is a real
scarcity of leadership. As a
result, Madrassa-educated
clerics with a limited world-
view have ruled the roost.
K Rahman Khan, a mem-
ber of the Indian National
Congress, says in his book,
Indian Muslims: The Way
Forward, that Indian Mus-
lims have “an emotional,
rather than a rational,” ap-
proach to issues. Many suffer
from “superficial religiosity”
and have an “uncompromis-
ing attitude and lack of an
accommodative approach”.
“Religious superiority” is a
feature among some. Certain
sections uphold “exclusivist
and narrow thinking” that is
completely unacceptable, es-
pecially in a plural society
.
Khan comes down heavily
on Muslim clerics for wasting
two decades defending Triple
Talaq. He makes the point
that “Muslims cannot pro-
gress if they remain wedded
to some centuries-old inter-
pretations, notions, and prac-
tices that are not in accord-
ance with the spirit of Islam
and that impede their crea-
tive presence in the contem-
porary world.” He asks Mus-
lims to adopt genuine spiritu-
ality with a focus on human-
ity and human values. He
asks Muslims to learn about
democracy and duties as a
citizen in a plural society and
to set up interfaith dialogues.
Muslims should ask them-
selves what makes small mi-
norities like the Sikhs and
Parsis so successful in India.
Sikhism is also a very con-
servative religion. Yet Sikhs
are openly felicitated for
their contribution to nation-
building. The Parsis sur-
vived for over 1000 years and
built modern India. These
are extraordinary stories
worthy to study and emulate.
At the core of both these sto-
ries is the message of service
to society irrespective of re-
ligion. Islam has always had
that tradition. It’s time that
Muslims adopted it.

challenges.
The Minister, howev-
er, said that amid the
global gloomy econom-

ugram, more than 90
delegates from 20 mem-

New Delhi: The BJP
will easily gain major-
ity in Tripura and its
alliance government
will come to power in
Nagaland, exit polls
have predicted. The
race for Meghalaya
will be tight, with Con-
rad Sangma’s NPP like-
ly to emerge as the sin-
gle largest party
.
An aggregate of two
exit polls indicate that
theBJPmayget35seats
—ashadeabovethema-
jority of 31 in 60-seat as-
sembly
. The Left, which
ruled the state for more
than 30 years, is likely
to get only 12 seats —
the Congress, its unex-
pected ally for this elec-
tion, unlikely to add
anything to the tally
.
TipraMotha,thenew
party floated by erst-
while royal Pradyot

is likely to bag 12 seats.
Exit polls, though,
can often get it wrong.
The BJP, according
to India Today, will win
between 36 to 45 seats
in Tripura. Zee News-
Matrize predicts the
BJP would get 29-36
seats, and a slightly
better scenario for the
Left Front -- 13-21 seats.
Zee News-Matrize
has also predicted the
BJP-NDPP (National-
ist Democratic Pro-

ance will win 35-43 of
Nagaland’s 60 seats.
In Meghalaya, Con-
rad Sangma’s NPP is
likely to emerge as the
single largest party
with 21-26 seats, pre-
dicted Zee News-

which won only two
seats in the state in
2018, will expand its

Bhilwara: Targeting
political parties with-
out naming anyone, for-
mer Assembly Speaker
and 89-year-old BJP
MLA Kailash Meghwal
has stated that the par-
ties treat Scheduled
Caste (SC) people like
slaves and they do not
have the freedom to
speak freely
.
The statement is be-
ing seen as politically
significant in the back-
drop of BJP’s formula
of no ticket to leaders
above 70 years.
“If someone speaks
openly
, his ticket is cut,”
Meghwal said while
speaking at a pro-
gramme in Bhilwara’s
Shahpura.
A six-time MLA,
Meghwal, who repre-
sents Shahpura constit-
uency, is one of the big
faces of SC in Ra-
jasthan BJP. “This is
my constituency. This
constituency was back-
ward, and it was back-
ward because since
1952 it was reserved for
SC,” he said. “...and I
have no hesitation in
saying in today’s poli-
tics that political par-
ties keep people of
scheduled caste like
slaves. They don’t have
the freedom to speak
freely, if they do so
then their ticket gets
cut,” he said. He was
the Assembly Speaker
during the previous
BJP govt rule. On the
other hand, many
meanings of the re-
mark are being fetched.

DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF TURQUOISE FASHION WITH CITY FIRST
he stone of
the same
name in-
spired the
colour tur-
quoise. Tur-
quoise radi-
ates the serenity of
blue, the growth of
green, and the vi-
brancy of yellow. It is
a calming, amiable,
and happy hue. More-
over, turquoise can
encourage calm and
clear thinking. In ad-
dition to being a gem-
stone, turquoise also
serves as a vernacu-
lar name for the Car-
ibbean seas.
Every lady may be
decorated with a
stunning, distinctive,
and slightly enigmat-
ic hue of turquoise.
Based on the other
colours in a design,
turquoise can have a
warming or cooling
impact. Turquoise
comesoutasastrong,
bright accent when
used with greys, sub-
dued yellows, and
pinks. For a striking
combo, it can also be
used with dark or-
ange, which will
make you stand out
from the crowd, be
more noticeable, and
draw interests. The
colour turquoise is
stunning in all of its
manifestations and
comes in a variety of
tints,fromdeepazure
to delicate aquama-
rine.
There are a few
combinations you
can try to make your-
self the centre of at-
tention at any event.
Each colour mixes
well with white, and
when combined with
turquoise, the result
is breathtaking.
For every colour,
pairing with black is
regarded as tradi-
tional. This also ap-
plies to our situation.
A traditional combi-
nation is grey and
white. This choice
works well for busi-
ness meetings. At a
party, consider tur-
quoise in a pair with
a silvery tint; it will
add elegance and
emphasise a cool
blue-green colour.
Beige is a warm
tone made by
blending brown
and white; as a
result, it will
go well with
our colour. In
every com-
bination,
soft beige
and viv-
id, vi-
b r a n t
tur-
quoise look great to-
gether. White and
brown are two other
hues that you can
choose. All the la-
dies out there who
want to look fresh

izing combinations.

rganisational behav-
iour(OB)isthestudy
of individual and
group behaviour in
organisational set-
tings. OB looks at
organisations as en-
tities, the forces that shape
them, and their impact on
organisational members. The
study of the OB involves the
Individual, the Group or
Team and the Organisation.
The OB is a very important
phenomenon that facilitates
the development of healthy
relationships among employ-
ees and employers in any or-
ganisation. In present times,
issues relating to organisa-
tional behaviour have influ-
enced the performance of
employees and their relation-
ship with their employers.
The issues need timely re-
dress so that organisations
enjoy success occasioned by
healthy association among
employees and the manage-
ment. The OB is about people
in organisations and it covers
a wide spectrum of human
conduct with an ultimate eye
on high productivity and ef-
ficiency in any organisation.
The individual level in-
volves organisational psy-
chology and understanding
human behaviour and incen-
tives. The groups or teams
involve social psychology and
sociological insights into hu-
man interaction and group
dynamics. The organisation-
al level undertakes systems-
level analyses and the study
of how firms engage with one
another in the marketplace.
The OB examines
attitudes, social climate, and
performance within organi-
sations by examining both
individual and group behav-
iour on a regional, national,
and global level. Researchers
examine why people (indi-
vidually or in groups) behave
the way they do and how to
manage these behaviours so
that the organisation can
achieveoptimalperformance.
The take-off point is indi-
vidual and each has a differ-
ent level of education, back-
ground, abilities and beliefs.
The individual personality
andcharactertraitsareprime
ingredients to their likely or-
ganisational behaviour. It’s
thepeoplewithinanorganisa-
tion who are primary influ-
ences on the OB. Individual
employees respond different-
ly to various methods of com-
munication and behave in
certain ways due to the
structure of the workplace
and the organisa-
tion’s culture, values, and
goals. They tend to align
better with teammates and
managers who mirror
their behavioural
strengths. As such, a
keen grasp of organi-
sational behaviour can
enable middle manage-
ment to build more ef-
fective teams and com-
municate better
with frontline
e m p l o y e e s .
These individu-
als within the
organisation
rise as leaders
and their indi-
vidual per-
sonalitiesareboundtohavean
impact on the OB and organi-
sation environment. On the
other hand, learning about
organisationalbehaviourena-
blesindividualstounderstand
their own behaviours, atti-
tudes, ethical views, and per-
formance, as well as those of
the people with whom they
will be working.
The OB has its roots in the
dynamicsof anyfamilylifein
our culture. Individual or col-
lective personality, values,
emotions and moods, motiva-
tion and communication are
all visible and active in any
Indian family
. The OB inves-
tigates the impact that indi-
viduals, groups, and struc-
ture have on behaviour with-
in organisations for the pur-
pose of applying such knowl-
edge toward improving the
organisation’s effectiveness.
It is here that the family
behaviour or environment
which also deep impact on
any individual in our soci-
ety are two major contrib-
utors to the OB and the
shape it takes to better the
organisational effective-
ness. The similarity is at
times so visible in any or-
ganisation behaviour
and family behaviour
that they may be
taken as inter-
changeable but for
the structure, pro-
ductivity, commer-
cial aims and
b o n d a g e .
Family be-
haviour in-
cludes the
impact that
p a r e n t s ,
f a m i l i e s
and struc-
ture have
on the behaviour of individu-
als within families towards
improving the family’s effec-
tiveness.
All individuals come into
the world with diversities and
their own personalities with
important similarities and
variations. Some are born
rich,diverse,interesting,frus-
trating, humorous, demand-
ing, difficult, and delightful
and the job of parents or
teachers/instructors is to ac-
cept the diversity and the per-
sonality characteristics of in-
dividuals and help them to
learn about the world, teach
themgoodvalues,andprovide
a paternal or supervisory cra-
dle in which they can develop.
The family and organisation
are almost inclusive in their
roles of shaping an individu-
al’s life and bringing out the
best in him or her. An employ-
ee'spersonalityplaysacritical
role in deciding their work-
place behaviour and interac-
tion.Italsodecidesanemploy-
ee's ability to produce high-
quality work. Using the OB,
companies can understand a
candidate's personality and
determine whether they are a
good fit for the organisation
and value the organisational
culture, value and mission.
It is not the skill or the in-
telligence of the employee
alonethatisimportantforthe
growth of the organisation.
The personal life of the em-
ployee, his emotions, feelings
etc. are equally important to
get the best out of him. The
manager cannot separate or
isolate the home life of em-
ployees from his official life.
It, therefore, goes without
saying that unless steps are
taken to satisfy the total indi-
vidual, it is not possible to
benefit fully from his poten-
tial. An organisation is a con-
glomeration of individuals
who work for a common goal.
The activity of each individu-
al affects and is affected by
the activities of others.
