Repulsion: Quiet Perfection
I'm not even 3 minutes into Repulsion and I already know that I'm going to love it. I know this because it takes its time and lately I feel like I need to take mine. I feel like I've been pushed into this fast paced, high adrenaline type of movie watching lately. I feel like I just keep watching and watching movies---and barely take them in. When was the last time I felt true meaning coming from the TV screen? In those quiet and strangely tense opening moments, I suddenly felt like being silent. Repulsion forces you into this bubble of deep focus almost immediately--- and it does it literally, by focusing on Carole's eye.
I don't usually get so embarrassingly poetic when I talk about movies but here I can't seem to help it. I just can't get past that opening moment.
Carole sits calmly, rigidly and peacefully holding a woman's hand. Everything about it screams sadness. Is the woman dying? Is she already dead? It's filmed in such a beautiful way. And then suddenly....we are pulled into reality. Carole is a beautician who has fallen asleep while performing a manicure. It's the kind of scene that makes me wish I had thought of it first. So simple, so surprising, so oddly remarkable. The scene was attacked with slowness. It takes its time establishing its beauty instead of forcing it on us in a miraculous instance. Even my favorite film--Suspiria rushes into the beauty by splaying it across our eyes while here, it's like waiting for the dust to settle.
Repulsion is the first film in Roman Polanski's "Apartment Trilogy", where Rosemary's Baby and The Tenant follow respectively. It follows Carole--an oddly quiet and distant young woman who falls down a winding and confusing path to madness--one very small step at a time. After her sister goes away on holiday, Carole's psyche takes a turn for the worst and we become trapped in the apartment with her, unsure of what is real and what isn't.
There is so much good happening in Repulsion, that I'm finding it very difficult to know where to begin. The entire film for me could be a study in perfection. With every shot, I find myself getting more and more excited about how much I love it. For a film that has a rather simple plot---there is so much complexity involved.
I'll start with the quiet. The film is so unbelievably quiet. This nature of the film seems to identify clearly with Carole--who barely seems to say more than 20 words in the film. What makes me so interested about the often silent nature of the film is that there are noises and even some instances of music. These however are intrusions and annoyances that seem to occur.
Throughout the film there are these repeated sounds and noises that start to affect us. These repetitions of sound almost start becoming characters of their own. Each with this weird sense of depth. We have the ringing of the school bell that clangs relentlessly. The sound of dripping water, the ticking clock, the unusual sound of the elevator, the nuns laughing, the person that plays the piano, the footsteps and the sound of the buzzing flies. Each of these sounds becomes so aggravating for some reason. I felt like the real reason Carole was going mad was because of all these intrusive noises.
Then we have the closeness of the film. Repulsion takes us to the extreme in terms of how close we get to Carole. I mean this literally as some of the close ups to her face feel like the camera must have been hitting her.
I viewed this as another importance trait of the film. The closer we get to Carole, the closer we get to her madness. It's like for that hour and 40 minutes or so, we are put front and center into that apartment with her. It's like we start becoming Carole---that's how close it gets.
I noticed the film was pushing this closeness when I kept seeing a lot of this.
Do you see it?
There are all these shots of the back of Carole's head that kind of align with us. Because we can't see her face, and because the other people interacting are staring straight at her, it's kind of like they are looking at us....like we become Carole--or we at least become part of Carole's vantage point.
Then there are of course the more obvious things, like the symbolism of the cracking of the apartment's walls,
the cutting of things like the telephone cord, the potatoes growing more and more mutant looking,
and the very repulsive rotting corpse of the rabbit.
All these things in some way symbolize the degradation of Carole's mind. Cracking away, being cut off from reality, and rotting away.
Good god I love this film, and I've barely gotten to know it. It's whore-ish of me, I know but I can't help it. I just want to keep watching it. I love just becoming lost in that world of Carole's, where sexual gratification is repulsive and sickening. I want to vanish in those soft walls and get sucked into one of Carole's silent rape nightmares....wow, I never thought I would say that.
There's just so much to get sucked into. I love how we aren't ever told outright what is wrong with Carole. Sure, we can make connections about past traumas and perhaps the possibility of her being molested as a child, but are we ever really sure? It's like the judging of the old family photo that we see. Some say Carole's eyes are fixated on the man to her right, looking terrified. Is this the man that caused her trauma?
I personally just see a girl in that picture who has always been distant and strange. To me it seems as though she isn't looking at anyone, she's looking into nothingness. It's not hard to tell which one she is, since she possesses that same exact trauma filled look now. But if she's been that way for so long, why wouldn't anyone notice sooner?
My descent into Repulsion marks a landmark in my movie watching career because for the first time, I have not rushed off to IMDB to get some clarity on things I didn't understand. This isn't because I don't have questions however--it's more because I'd rather just keep my views and thoughts to myself. It's a film that can stand on its own without being 100% explained. It's a movie that I will probably think about for a very long time and it's a movie that I'll probably end up comparing to others in terms of its greatness factor. "Yeah it's good but is it, Repulsion good?"
I think what I need to do is just sit in a dark room somewhere and think about it. Remember how perfect our time was together and how great things will be when we meet again. I don't buy a lot of DVDs (Read: any) but I would seriously consider purchasing this immediately. Repulsion is a truly beautiful film, filled with the most amazing sense of quietness I've ever witnessed. It makes me wonder if the world we are presented with is so quiet---what is going on inside of Carole's mind? I imagine, screaming.

I can totally understand your whorish love of this film. It really does show Polanski's amazing skills. Deneuve is amazing, and that sound design---ah!
Eddie said...
I liked when the walls started to crack...for some reason that part made me a little jumpy.
Andre, Off topic. did you see Battle Royale? I watched it last night because of all the good ratings and reviews and I wasn't impressed. I would like to hear your or others thoughts.
Nope, haven't seen it Eddie, but have heard a lot about it. Maybe in the future..!
DrunkethWizerd said...
I too gave Repulsion a perfect score. I loved the entire film and let it get inside me.
Genruk said...
Good god I loved this movie! I still get chills when I recall the walls cracking, almost as if my own existence has come to be threatened. I think you nailed it with this film's mystery being part of its lure. I only wished that I had your sense of restraint in regards to IMDB. But alas...
CashBailey said...
Amazing film.
In many ways I think Roman Polanski is the equal of Hitchcock. But where Hitch concentrated on a stately, distant, external thrillers Polanski revolutionised internal, psychological horror.
As for BATTLE ROYALE; I think anyone claiming that there is some deep meaning behind it is fooling themselves. It's a fun, nasty flick about kids killing each other. Nothing more.
The Mike said...
I just watched this for the first time in like 6-7 years (and the first time with a good transfer), and was re-blown away by it. I was obsessed with the shot of her and the dude with the old lady watching and was like "Wait, Andre loves this movie....I wonder if she capped that." AND YOU DID.
Great review, and I'm most in agreement about the sound. And that fucking jazz music is like the coolest thing to sell her madness. It's so out of control and random yet perfect. Good stuff.
Haha I'm a crazy capper!! That's funny because I just re-read this review the other night for some reason................that I can't remember and I was reminded of how I said I would probably purchase it. But I haven't yet! UGH,. Gotta get moving on that one......

The existing contracts of girl workers should be made null and void and those workers already working in the mills be made legal workers according to law. Overtime wages and minimum wages should be regularized. Workers committee should be established with adequate representation from all sections of employees.
Proper recruitment and employment policy should be framed and enforced by the industries. Monitoring committees should be set up. These committees should include representation from Trade Unions, PRI members and women activists to oversee the performance and inspect the facilities provided in Hostels.
Preference should be given to workers from the local community where the mills are located. These local workers should be given all statuary provisions stipulated by the law.
The complaint mechanism should be simplified with easy access to Complaints Committee, special counselor or other support services. Confidentiality should be maintained. The Complaints Committee should be headed by a woman and to prevent the possibility of any undue pressure or influence from senior levels, such Complaints Committee should involve a third party, either NGO or any other independent body familiar and knowledgeable with the issue.

The installation is a space where, through physical play, participants momentarily escape from the pressures of daily life, while their subconscious delights in memory and imagination. For some, the performance game and art workshop elicit intercession from the spirits of the ancestors.
Some play while others create art.
Many hands toiling together make the labor light and swift.
Some come to the event already familiar with Afro-Caribbean folklore and religion and impart knowledge to others.

Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for an Academy Award today for his performance in The Wolf of Wall Street.
Clearly, there is no justice in the world.
And the internet feels his pain.
In fact, there's a whole meme devoted to the fact that he tragically hasn't won an Oscar.
Nobody understands why it hasn't happened yet.
And people are beginning to get a little bit concerned about it.
Every awards season, this horrible oversight is highlighted once again.
It doesn't matter that he wasn't nominated because he SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
And imagines ways to help him obtain the golden statue he so richly deserves.
As a tribute to Leonardo's unwavering suffering, someone even created a portrait of him made entirely of pictures of Oscar winners.
The internet grows angrier (and stranger) with each year he is overlooked.
Now that he's been nominated for The Wolf of Wall Street, there's once again hope that the cycle may be defeated.

Trubisky spoke with the media after the playoff loss (Reinhold Matay - USA Today Sports)
The Chicago Cubs suffered an embarrassing 21-9 playoff loss to the hands of the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky might have played in his last game for the 'Monsters of the Midway' as he talked to reporters after the loss.
"I think I can definitely see myself back here next year," Trubisky said during his media availability. "Obviously, a lot of that is out of my control, but it feels like home, and it feels like we have unfinished business. Right now, I'm just bummed about this season being over and how the game went, so a lot of emotions going on right now, but I can see that. We'll see.
"There are a lot of things that have to happen and a lot of decisions that have to be made, and that's out of my control, and I can see that."
It could be the end of the road for Trubisky as the organization will have to make some difficult decisions this offseason.
"I know there are decisions that are going to be made this offseason," he said. "I feel like I've gotten better over these four years and really this season. It's been tough. There have been some ups and downs. But I'm proud of where I'm at and where we battled, and how we got better over the year."
For the season, Trubisky threw for 2,055 yards with 16 touchdowns and 8 interceptions for a QBR of 61.8 (20th in NFL).

In 2006, The Sedona Conference (TSC), a research organization on the forefront of eDiscovery and often cited by the courts, set forth The Sedona Principles: Best Practices Recommendations & Principles for Addressing Electronic Document Production (2d. ed. 2007). In particular, Sedona Principle 6 states: "Responding parties are best situated to evaluate the procedures, methodologies, and technologies appropriate for preserving and producing their own electronically stored information." DiscoverReady, Predictive Coding and Freedom of Choice: Sedona Principle 6 in Action. This particular principle has been used by producing parties, along with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRE) 26(b)(1) to defend its chosen method for identifying and producing documents. Even if one party demonstrates that its chosen method is "better" than the other party's method, the courts will not force the other party to use that method. So, what makes an eDiscovery process defensible and under what circumstances have the courts ruled for, or against, a party's particular use of a process?
Defensibility In Practice
In Peter Kiewit Sons, Inc. v. Wall Street Equity Group, Inc. 8:10CV365 (D. Neb. May 18, 2012), United States Magistrate Judge Cheryl Zwart set forth requirements that create a defensible eDiscovery process:
Suspend routine document destruction policy
Put a legal hold in place
Legal teams become fully aware of company's retention policy and data infrastructure
Communicate/interview "key players" to determine how data is stored
Monitor legal hold compliance to ensure that all sources
Retain all relevant case information
Produce all information that is responsive to opposing party's production request
Judge Zwart's list was the product of discovery abuses committed by the defendants in the case. The requirements and their increasing complexity seem designed to prevent fraud and negligence. The list is important because as the use of eDiscovery methods grows exponentially, parties have tried to force opposing parties to use the methods they deem best in a particular case. The court, however, has remained steady in focusing on the ability of producing party to demonstrate diligence and reasonableness.
For example, In re: Biomet M2a Magnum Hip Implant Products Liability (MDL), No. 3:12-MD-2391 (N.D. Ind. Apr. 18, 2013), the defendant Biomet produced documents in compliance with several concurrent cases before MDL consolidation. Biomet then sought to produce the same documents in the MDL as the discovery requests were identical. Specifically, Biomet culled 19.5 million documents and attachments down to 3.9 million by using keyword searches. Once Biomet had reduced the document count, it employed "a predictive coding tool on the culled (and de-duplicated) data set, identifying almost 2 million documents for production. According to Biomet, it had already spent $1 million on discovery, and expected to spend up to $2.25 million more." DiscoverReady, supra. Plaintiffs objected and argued that Biomet should have used predictive coding exclusively as this method is more accurate than keyword searches.
The court denied Plaintiffs' request and reasoned that defendant's use of keyword searches and subsequent use of predictive coding satisfied the "reasonable" requirement of FRE Rule 26 and 34. Further, the court reasoned that making Biomet start its discovery process over by using predictive coding would go against FRE Rule 26(b)(2)(c)'s proportionality standard, which allows a court to limit discovery if the discovery request sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative. Biomet was the first case in which the court ruled a party can use a keyword search and then employ predictive coding as opposed to having to use one over the other. Moreover, because Biomet was able to detail and explain its methodology and showed that relevant documents were not withheld from Plaintiffs, it reflected the reasonableness discussed in the Sedona Principle.
In a similar contemporary case, Fosomax/Alendronate Sodium Drug cases, No. JCCP 4644 (Orange Co. Cal. Sup. Ct.)(Apr. 18, 2013), the defendants also used keyword searches instead of predictive coding. Likewise, Plaintiffs wanted Defendant Merck to start over using predicative coding. The court denied this request reasoning Defendant's process showed a "reasonable search" and "diligent inquiry." DiscoverReady, supra. Notably, the court decided the "Plaintiffs had not shown any material deficiency in the search term process used by Merck to produce documents in other cases. Nor could the plaintiffs show that the additional benefit from a new production would outweigh the significant burden to Merck of re-collecting and re-searching using predictive coding, especially considering the already available responsive documents." Id.
In the cases above, the court sided with the producing party in stating keyword searches were acceptable over more accurate predicative coding. The court's focus in both cases centered on what was reasonable and showed due diligence on the part of the producing party.
The TSC and FRE 26(b)(1) have been updated to narrow their scope in regards to proportionality due to the increased cost of discovery under ESI. The result of such seemed that the court would necessarily begin overturning, or modifying, previous decisions that allowed for broad interpretation of discovery. On the contrary, however, the courts have remained focused on reasonableness of discovery and the producing party's ability to defend its methodology, even if less accurate, and show diligence and good faith. Previous case law still remains good law and also shows the flexibility of methodology courts will allow in this rapidly expanding area of ESI and discovery.

After Naga Shaurya, Now Sharwanad And Sundeep Kishan Suffer Injuries
Big B Starts Shooting For 'Gulabo Sitabo' In Lucknow
SRK, Aryan To Dub For Mufasa And Simba In 'The Lion King' Hindi Version
Written by : Entertainment Team
Much to the delight of audiences, Bollywood's favourite father-son duo Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan will lend their voices for the Hind version of Disney's 'The Lion King'. While Shah Rukh will lend his voice to the king of the Jungle, Lion Mufasa, Aryan will dub for Mufasa's son Simba. SRK tweeted the big news today.
Glad to be a part of this journey... a timeless film. Voicing it in Hindi with my own Simba. The last time we did a film was around 15 years ago and it was 'Incredible' and this time around its even more fun. Hope everyone enjoys it 19th July onwards. #TheLionKing https://t.co/rJEfxevA9k
— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) June 17, 2019
The trailer of the film features our favourite characters in new avatars while keeping the essence of the classic alive. The trailer opens with a young Simba and Nala exploring the elephant graveyard, where they encounter a band of hyenas. In the next scene, Mufasa can be seen advising Simba on how he can become a better King in the future. The trailer ends with Timon and Pumbaa merrily singing the classic 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'. From the trailer, it seems like the upcoming film is a shot-by-shot remake of the 1994 animated film. With the screenplay written by Jeff Nathanson and songs by legends like Elton John and Time Rice, the movie is helmed by Jon Favreau.
The film will hit the theatres on July 19 and will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Coffee Break: These community organizers believe #10outof10 students can have access to a high-quality school—with parents leading the way
by Chyrise Harris on March 22, 2018 in Equity, Parents, School Choice, School Quality • 0 Comments
Even before the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2018, the voices of those who have been ignored, drowned out and silenced by the powerful and elite have steadily increased their volume. From #BlackLivesMatter to #MeToo and #Enough, underrepresented groups are shaping a new narrative and demanding a space to be heard. If the founders of Transform Education Now (TEN) have their way, the parents of Colorado's school kids will be the newest force to be reckoned with in 2018 and beyond.
Rooted in the belief that access to a high quality education is a fundamental right of all children, Ariel Smith and Nicholas Martinez created TEN to build power within communities—especially parents—and demand innovation, improvement and replication of high-quality schools in all neighborhoods. In partnership with parents and communities, they're demanding that #10outof10 children have access to the educational opportunities they deserve. I caught up with the former DSST Public Schools community organizers to learn more about where they came from, where they're headed and who they believe will be leading the way toward better schools for all kids.
What kind of coffee do you rely on to transform your day?
Ariel: As community organizers, our days consist of many, many cups of coffee. A cup of coffee and conversation is how almost every relationship we make starts, because in order to build collective power, you have to get real clear about individual interest and understand where people are coming from and that normally happens over a cup of coffee (or a juice, or a beer!). My favorite coffee shop in Denver is Prodigy Coffee off of 40th and Colorado, which also functions as an apprentice program for some really rad young people.
Nicholas: I take my coffee as strong as I can get it, and always black. Like Ariel said, a lot of our work happens over coffee so I get a few cups in a day, probably more than I need, but I love it. I really enjoy trying different types, but I also love the ritual of sharing a cup of coffee because it's a step toward building a relationship and learning about folks. Offering a fresh cup of coffee was something I remember my grandparents doing for anyone who came to visit and it was a sign of their hospitality. When I have coffee with someone there is definitely a thread of that hospitality in there.
For both of you, your first impact on education started in the classroom as teachers. What motivated you to serve in the education space?
Ariel: The first school I worked at was in Washington D.C. It was my work study job while in school, but the school didn't have enough teachers so they had me teach kindergarten from 1-5 p.m. every day. The school only had one working bathroom, so the boys and girls had to take turns using it and the pipes had lead in them so the kids could not drink out of the water fountains. The school had a perfect view of the United States Capitol from the playground. That visual of kids being failed by a system they could see from their own school playground still lives in my head and serves as a reminder for why I do this work.
Nicholas: My family and my community have always had a deep respect for education and school always came first for us. As a first-generation college student, I gravitated toward work that would create access for kids coming from a background similar to mine. Through that I got an opportunity to teach summer school and I loved it. Working with kids was so much fun; it was a natural fit once I left school. While it may sound cliche, education really is the way to help the next generation change our world for the better.
A year ago when you realized that only 5 out of 10 students in Denver attended a school that was rated Blue or Green on the district's School Performance Framework, what went through your mind?*
Nicholas: The first thing that went through my mind was that it's a problem, but its not a new problem. Communities of color and low-income communities have always been underserved by institutions. I do think that there is a lot of great work happening in classrooms around the district, but when only 50 percent of kids in schools are meeting or exceeding expectations, it's not good enough. There is a lot of work to do among all of us, collectively. This can't be something that only our teachers are fixing, we all have to be involved and work together to make sure that every single kid, in every school, in every neighborhood is learning.
Ariel, how, if at all, has your perspective on school quality changed since becoming a parent yourself?
Ariel: I have a two-year-old son, and ever since becoming a mom, I have found this fierce, protective part of me. I think about how how quickly parents get left out as our children become school aged, and it's so strange to me. We know how to raise our kids and parents deserve a seat at the decision-making table, especially when we are talking about our kids. We deserve to know whether or not kids are learning to read at the schools we are choosing for them. We deserve to know a school's vision and mission, their values and their orientation to a community. We deserve to know it all. It's TEN's mission to help parents do that.
Why do you believe parents are the key to increasing the level of accountability for schools in Denver?
Ariel: Parents are more than the dance chaperones and bake sale hosts and when they are actually given real power in schools and feel ownership over community education, that is when we can really get some cool things accomplished. We know how to raise our kids. Any parent who has chased their toddler around knows that large class sizes are difficult for even the best teacher. Any parent who sees that their neighborhood school has less than 1 in 5 kids reading on grade level deserves to both know that and be given the power to do something about it.
How do you help parents understand the ins and outs of school quality and more importantly, the power they have in making sure their child is constantly learning and growing at the highest levels?
Nicholas: As part of our work, we host Parent Education and Choice Counseling sessions for parents to help them identify what they value in their child's education and what best practices to look for when choosing a school for their student. We get really excited to work with parents to engage in conversations around quality and the growth that the schools in their neighborhood are making. This is about helping parents utilize their expertise in their own child; it's about parents owning their agency.
TEN believes that access to a high quality education is a fundamental right of all people and many would argue it's the civil rights issue of our time. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. What opportunity do you see for communities to honor his legacy and make sure that all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, gain access to a quality education?
Nicholas: I think the greatest way we can honor Dr. King's legacy is by speaking up and standing with our neighbors. The task at hand is bigger than one kid, or one school or one community. This is about all of our kids. While there is great work being done across the city, and there are amazing schools getting kids ready for a life of opportunity, that's not happening for all kids. We need everyone to recognize that injustice. Dr. King said, "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." We need to recognize the glaring percentage of our students who have been marginalized by our education system and that there is a very real cost in tolerating that. We are losing out on the amazing things that our kids could accomplish if we can't give them the tools they need and we are absolutely paying a moral price if we are ok with not doing our best.
What do you think it will take to make sure that 10 out of 10 children in Denver have access to the educational opportunities they deserve?
Ariel: I think it starts with honest conversations and continues with community co-design. We have to be honest about where we are. With only 6 out of 10 students in Denver Public Schools (DPS) attending a Green or Blue school today, there are still 35,000 students who are attending a school that is not at the level of quality they deserve. We can do better than that. There are some brilliant people doing brilliant things in our city and we need to do a better job collaborating with stakeholders to figure out how to replicate those best practices in all our schools. Our parents need to speak up at the Capitol and ask voters to approve more funding from our schools. They need to be at the table demanding our teachers have access to more resources, mentoring and coaching. We can't solve problems when we are missing key stakeholders at the table. Those most affected by a problem must have the space to lead in solving the problem.
Ten years from now, what do you hope families feel when they think about TEN?
Ariel: I hope they feel the power that they have built. I don't even think they will look back and see TEN. I hope they see their own power, not ours.
*Editor's Note: According to the DPS 2016 School Performance Framework, 50 percent of students attended a school that was rated Blue or Green. According to the 2017 DPS School Performance Framework, nearly 62 percent of students attend a school rated Blue or Green.

Bitcoin and the crypto ecosystem has been branded wild west by the prominent MP's in the UK. Also calling for the FCA to begin regulation of the current crypto markets, a report released by the parliament outlined the possible benefits which could result from responsible application of regulation.
A report released by the Parliament of the country outlined the many risks associated with crypto which were perceived the state. Both financial and political implications such as money laundering and terrorism were discussed as current warnings provide little to no impact on guiding trading practice. The less well known problem of market manipulation was also discussed in the report. Alluding to the concepts of pump and dump practices, the report highlighted how due to the volatile nature of crypto, investors can easily misinterpret markets movements as a sign of a trend reversal etc.
Calls were also made for a scenario management to be held responsible for accounts of malicious activity. With the occurrence of malicious insider trading and volume manipulation rife among crypto trading communities, regulations would not only allow for the protection of existing investors but also provide opportunities for institutional investors to enter the expanding crypto market.
To conclude. British MP's have urged the FCA among committees to begin crypto regulation. TO consolidate current moves to employ regulation including input from the UK's Treasury Select Committee and a combined taskforce made up of the Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority and Her Majesty's Treasury to expedite regulatory measures for financial crypto activity.

A Utah county passed a resolution this month asserting that the authority of federal agents, specifically those of the Bureau of Land Management, to enforce state or local laws — even on federal land — would not be recognized within its borders.
The Carbon County Commission approved the resolution unanimously on June 4.
The move follows the standoff in Nevada earlier this year between the BLM and a militia supporting rancher Cliven Bundy. The resolution, however, did not mention Bundy or the standoff.

Onus on Pakistan to create conducive atmosphere for dialogue with India: FS Shringla
Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla-file photo
India will be a force for good in the neighbourhood, the Foreign Secretary said
India desires good neighbourly relations with Pakistan and is committed to addressing issues, if any, bilaterally and peacefully, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said.
"However, any meaningful dialogue can only be held in a conducive atmosphere and the onus is on Pakistan to create such an atmosphere," Shringla said while speaking at Ananta Aspen Centre on 'What Next for Neighbourhood First,' on Monday.
He said India continues to follow the developments relating to the Afghan peace process with the External Affairs Minister participating virtually at the opening of the Intra-Afghan negotiations in September 2020 in Doha.
The Foreign Secretary expressed his deep concern over the recent development in Myanmar.
"We remain concerned that the gains made by Myanmar over the last decades on the path towards democracy, should not be undermined. We have always been steadfast in our support to the process of democratic transition in Myanmar for it to emerge as a stable democratic federal union. Our developmental and humanitarian efforts in Myanmar have been aimed at the socio-economic development of the country," Shringla said.
"We feel that people on the ground should not suffer. India will continue to closely monitor the situation and remain engaged with like-minded countries to meet the hopes and aspirations of the people of the country. The international community must work together and lend its meaningful support at this critical juncture, so that the people of Myanmar do not suffer. We are working in the UN Security Council in a constructive manner to facilitate balanced outcomes that could assist in resolving the situation," he added.
Despite all this, he said India will be a force for good in the neighbourhood and it is committed to improving the well-being of the region. He said India's Lines of Credit to its neighbours have jumped from US $ 3.27 billion in 2014 to US $ 14.7 billion in 2020.
"We undertake a large number of quick gestation and high impact projects aimed at benefiting communities directly. We trade more. We invest more in each other. Total trade with Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka has increased from US $ 19.44 billion to US $ 26.455 billion in the last six years," the Foreign Secretary said.
"These increases have both contributed to and have benefitted from significantly enhanced connectivity and improved border infrastructure," he added.

Chimanbhai Jagabhai Patel Vs. State Of Gujarat & Anr. on 16 March, 2009
Author: . A Pasayat
Bench: Arijit Pasayat, Mukundakam Sharma
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 469 OF 2009 (Arising out of S.L.P (Crl.) No.352 of 2008)
Chimanbhai Jagabhai Patel Appellant versus
State of Gujarat & Anr. Respondents JUDGMENT
Dr. ARIJIT PASAYAT, J.
1. Leave granted.
2. Challenge in this appeal by accused no.2 is to the judgment of a learned Single Judge of the Gujarat High Court upholding the conviction of the appellant for offences punishable under Section 307 read with Section 34 and Section 120 B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short the `IPC'). Learned Additional Sessions Judge, Valsad, had recorded the judgment of conviction and had imposed sentence of five years for the first offence and no separate sentence was imposed for latter offence. Fine of Rs.500/- with default stipulation was also imposed.
3. Background facts in a nutshell are as follows: On 26.11.1987 around 07:30 p.m. in village Kaanjan Ranchhod, Tal in Dist. Valsad, the appellant-accused no.1 called the complainant Kalaben Jagabhai Patel at Khadi to take money and also told her that he had some work with her. The accused no.2 also reached at the same place from where both the accused took the complainant in Vadi of Chamarbhai Revlabhai, where for about half an hour, they were talking and thereafter with an intention to kill the complainant they, forcibly made the complainant drink an insecticide used in Chilly Crop named as `Eka Laxys EC.25′. The accused no. 2 caught hold of the complainant and thus, committed offence of an attempt to murder the complainant. 2
The complainant was residing at Village `Kaanjan Ranchhod' of Taluka Valsad along with her mother and brothers. The father of the complainant had expired about 6-7 years ago. She had studied upto 8th Standard. On 26.11.1987, the complainant had gone to Khadi for washing the clothes at about 12 noon. At that time, her aunt had also come to wash the clothes and after completing the work of washing clothes, she (the aunt) went away. Thereafter, around 2 noon, Satishbhai Nichhabhai and Ishwarbhai Khusalbhai, residents of the same Faliya as that of the complainant, had come to wash their clothes. The complainant, after getting her clothes dried around 3 O'clock, started to go to her house. On the way, the accused no.1 Jayantibhai Gulabbhai met her near his field and asked the complainant to come at Khadi in the evening to collect money. He (accused no.1) also told that he has some personal work with her. The complainant told him (accused no.1) that she will come in the evening and went to her home. Thereafter around 7:00 p.m., the complainant went to `Khadi' where the accused no.1 was present. While she was talking with the accused no.1, the appellant-accused no.2 Chimanbhai Jagabhai reached there. Thereafter, both the accused took the complainant to Vadi of Chamarbhai. There they talked for about an hour. Thereafter, all of a sudden accused No.2 Chimanbhai Jagabhai caught hold of the complainant and accused No.1 3
Jayantibhai took out a bottle of poisonous medicine used as insecticide in chilly crop forcibly poured the same in the mouth of the complainant. As the complainant was caught hold of by the accused no.2 Chimanbhai Jagabhai, she could not shout. On medicine being administered to the complainant, she fainted and the accused ran away from the place. After sometime the complainant regained consciousness and she shouted for help. On hearing shouts of the complainant, her brother Nahhubhai, Ishwarbhai and Ukadbhai came running there and they brought the complainant to the house of Ishwar. There she was administered juice of Neem tree, where after the complainant vomited. The complainant was then admitted, in the hospital at Valsad. On the next day, Mamlatdar, Valsad, recorded the statement of the complainant. The real cause of the incident was the love affair between the complainant Kalaben and accused no.1 Jayantibhai as a result of which the complainant became pregnant. The accused Jayanatibhai advised the complainant and also gave some tablets to her to get the child aborted, but as it was not possible, the complainant asked the accused Jayantibhai to marry her. Initially, he agreed for the same, but then he turned around and did not marry the complainant. The brother of the complainant Nabhubhai then talked to Hirkabhai and meeting of `Caste Panch' was called. There it was agreed that Jayantibhai and complainant be married. But as the accused 4
Jayantibhai was not willing to marry the complainant, he tried to kill the complainant by administering the poison forcibly. The investigation was undertaken and charge sheet was filed. The trial court placed reliance on the evidence of the witnesses and found the appellant guilty. Emphasis was laid on the evidence of the complainant (PW 5), Nabhubhai Jagabhai (PW8), Balubhai Maganbhai (PW5) and Dr. Ram Ratan (PW2).
Before the High Court the primary stand in appeal was that offence under Section 307 is not made out. It was also submitted that Section 34 has no application. The High Court did not accept this plea and found the appellant, who was A2 before the trial court, guilty. The High Court held that the present appellant rightly been convicted by application of Section 34 IPC.
4. The stand taken before the High Court was reiterated by learned counsel for the appellant. Additionally, it was submitted that out of the sentence of five years imposed, the appellant had already undergone sentence of more than 40 months and is entitled to certain remissions. 5
5. Learned counsel for the respondent-State on the other hand supported the judgment of the trial court as affirmed by the High Court.
6. The essential ingredients required to be proved in the case of an offence under Section 307 are:
(i) that the death of a human being was attempted; (ii) that such death was attempted to be caused by, or in consequence of the act of the accused; and
(iii) that such act was done with the intention of causing death; or that it was done with the intention of causing such bodily injury as: (a) the accused knew to be likely to cause death; or (b) was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, or that the accused attempted to cause death by doing an act known to him to be so imminently dangerous that it must in all probability cause (a) death, or (b) such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, the accused having no excuse for incurring the risk of causing such death or injury.
7. Section 34 has been enacted on the principle of joint liability in the commission of a criminal act. The Section is only a rule of evidence and does not create a substantive offence. The distinctive feature of the Section is the element of participation in action. The liability of one person for an offence committed by another in the course of criminal act perpetrated by several persons arises under Section 34 if such criminal act is done in furtherance of a common intention of the persons who join in committing the crime. Direct proof of common intention is seldom available and, therefore, such intention can only be inferred from the circumstances appearing from the proved facts of the case and the proved circumstances. In order to bring home the charge of common intention, the prosecution has to establish by evidence, whether direct or circumstantial, that there was plan or meeting of mind of all the accused persons to commit the offence for which they are charged with the aid of Section 34, be it pre-arranged or on the spur of moment; but it must necessarily be before the commission of the crime. The true contents of the Section are that if two or more persons intentionally do an act jointly, the position in law is just the same as if each of them has done it individually by himself. As observed in Ashok Kumar v. State of Punjab (AIR 1977 SC 109), the existence of a common intention amongst the participants in a crime is the essential element for application 7
of this Section. It is not necessary that the acts of the several persons charged with commission of an offence jointly must be the same or identically similar. The acts may be different in character, but must have been actuated by one and the same common intention in order to attract the provision.
8. The Section does not say "the common intention of all", nor does it say "and intention common to all". Under the provisions of Section 34 the essence of the liability is to be found in the existence of a common intention animating the accused leading to the commission of a criminal act in furtherance of such intention. As a result of the application of principles enunciated in Section 34, when an accused is convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34, in law it means that the accused is liable for the act which caused death of the deceased in the same manner as if it was done by him alone. The provision is intended to meet a case in which it may be difficult to distinguish between acts of individual members of a party who act in furtherance of the common intention of all or to prove exactly what part was taken by each of them. As was observed in Ch. Pulla Reddy and Ors. v. State of Andhra Pradesh (AIR 1993 SC 1899), Section 34 is applicable even if no injury has been caused by the particular accused 8
himself. For applying Section 34 it is not necessary to show some overt act on the part of the accused.
9. In the background of the aforesaid provisions the trial court and the High Court was justified in holding that the appellant was guilty of offence punishable under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC.
10. Coming to the question of sentence considering the nature of the accusations, the role played by the appellant and the period of custodial sentence already undergone without remission, the same is restricted to the period already undergone. The appellant shall be released from custody forthwith unless required to be in custody in any other case.
11. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
