In military parlance, it's during the 'Roll Call' that a headcount is taken of a group to ascertain that everybody is in and accounted for at the start and the end of every exercise that's undertaken.
Such a roll call is taking place in Assam today when the Registrar General of India publishes the "part draft" of the National Register of Citizens to identify migrants who have illegally entered Assam from Bangladesh after 25 Mar '71. It's a very delicate matter that has to be dealt with sensitively and quick, remedial measures taken to ensure that those who do not figure in the roll are provided with security and safe passage to their motherland. The correct handling will enhance the prestige of the country among the other nations which are grappling with similar issues.
I hope that the 'vote bank politics' will be brought under check in due course!
2. Padmavati is now Padmavat.
A panel has sat through the movie and suggested a change in the name, 5 modifications and an initial notice that the movie doesn't claim historical accuracy and doesn't glorify the practice of 'Sati'. The fringe group 'Karni Sena' is yet to announce its stand, subsequent to the new developments.
It's a sad thing that a film maker's artistic freedom has been diluted! But thankfully, we'd be able to view the much awaited film soon.
3. Yet Another Judge Retires.
The special court looking into the Naroda Patya case of Gujarat's infamous riots of '02 is left without a judge because of the retirement of Justice PB Desai. Before him, the first judge to take on the case was Justice SH Vohra who'd handed over to Ms. Jyotsna Yagnik in May '08 on being appointed a judge in the Gujarat High Court. She'd retired in '13 which saw the ascension of Justice Desai.
Tailpiece.
A day that taught me many lessons. It was hard and painful but I realise that it was good that it happened because such churning makes one mature and responsive to others' feelings. What I liked best was that both the young and the old fired from their hips without frills - the only way that it's done.
