Religious Intolerance in India

By THE EDITORIAL BOARDDEC. 25, 2014

Hope is in danger of crumbling that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would rein in the divisive agenda of his militant Hindunationalist supporters and allow India to concentrate on the important work of economic reform, and the blame lies squarely with Mr. Modi.

During the last days of its winter session ending on Tuesday, Parliament was unable to deal with important legislative business because of repeated adjournments and uproar over attempts by Hindu groups to convert Christians and Muslims. The issue has come to a head following a “homecoming” campaign by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad — groups dedicated to transforming India’s secular democracy into a Hindu state — to “reconvert” Christians and Muslims to Hinduism.

In recent weeks, Hindu militants have engineered conversions of Muslims and Christians in Agra and in the states of Gujarat and Kerala. Police are investigating accusations that people have been induced to participate in mass conversion meetings by a combination of intimidation and bribery, including the promise of food ration cards. Attacks on Christians and their places of worship have intensified in recent weeks. One of New Delhi’s biggest churches burned down on Dec. 1 — arson is being blamed — and Christmas carolers were attacked on their way home in the city of Hyderabad on Dec. 12.

More than 80 percent of Indians are Hindus, but Muslims, Christians and Sikhs form important religious minorities with centuries of history in India. Religious pluralism and freedom are protected by India’s Constitution. The issue of religious conversion is contentious in India. Many Dalits, known formerly as untouchables, and other low-caste Hindus and Tribals admit they convert to Islam or Christianity primarily to escape crushing caste prejudice and oppression. The main architect of the Constitution, Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, born a Dalit, famously converted to Buddhism to escape caste-oppression under Hinduism.

A version of this editorial appears in print on December 26, 2014, in The International New York Times.

The X-Files is an American science fiction horror drama television series created by Chris Carter. The program originally aired from September 10, 1993 to May 19, 2002 on Fox, spanning nine seasons and 202 episodes. The series revolves around FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating X-Files: marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of aliens and the paranormal while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder’s discoveries to debunk his work and thus return him to mainstream cases. Early in the series, both agents become pawns in a larger conflict 6 IBFC_60 and come to trust only each other. They develop a close relationship, which begins as a platonic friendship, but becomes a romance by series end. In 2002 a movie was released with the following plot. When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest’s questionable visions send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women’s disappearance. It’s a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere...and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it! This television 90´s series follows the adventures and lives of FBI agents investigating those cases that involve the paranormal or previously unsolved (especially by conventional means). FBI Special Agents Mulder, Scully, Doggett and Reyes work to uncover forces within the United States of America government that would violate people’s rights, alien creatures and monsters alike that attack and other mysteries.

Solar System’s Water is Older Than the Sun

Next time you’re swimming in the ocean, consider this: part of the water is older than the sun.

So concludes a team of scientists who ran computer models comparing the ratios of hydrogen isotopes over time. Taking into account new insights that the solar nebula had less ionizing radiation than previously thought, the models show that at least some of the water found in the ocean, as well as in comets, meteorites and on the moon, predate the sun’s birth.

The only other option, the scientists conclude, is that it formed in the cold, intersteller cloud from which the sun itself originated.

The discovery, reported in this week’s Science, stems from the insight of lead author Lauren Ilsedore Cleeves, a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, who realized that planetforming disks around young stars should be shielded from galactic rays by the strong solar winds, dramatically altering the chemistry occurring inside the disks, said Conel Alexander, with the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

“The finding _____ makes it quite hard for these regions in the disk to synthesize any new molecules. This was an ‘aha’ moment for us – without any new water creation the only place these ices could have come from was the chemically rich interstellar gas out of which the solar system formed originally,” Cleeves wrote in an email to Discovery News.

“It’s remarkable that these ices survived the entire process of stellar birth,” she added.

The finding has implications for the search for life beyond Earth, as water is believed to be necessary for life.

“If the sun’s formation was typical, interstellar ices – including water – are likely common ingredients present during the formation of all planetary systems, which puts a wonderful outlook on the possibility of other life in the universe,” Cleeves said.

In addition, it’s not just water that likely survived the solar system’s birth.

“The same must be true for the organic matter that we know is present in molecular cloud ices. So I think this strengthens the case that we have interstellar organic matter in meteorites and comets too,” Alexander wrote in an email to Discovery News.

Gravity, review: “heartachingly tender”

Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts adrift in space, Alfonso Cuarón’s astonishing thriller is one of the films of the year, says Robbie Collin

Watch an astronaut drifting through space for long enough and eventually you notice how much they look like a newborn baby. The oxygen helmet makes their head bigger, rounder and cuter; their hands grasp eagerly at whatever happens to be passing; their limbs are made fat and their movements simple by the spacesuit’s cuddly bulk. They tumble head-over-heels like tripping toddlers or simply bob there in amniotic suspension. Even the lifeline that keeps them tethered to their ship has a pulsing, umbilical aspect.

Gravity, the new Alfonso Cuarón picture, is a heartachingly tender film about the miracle of motherhood, and the billion-to-one odds against any of us being here, astronauts or not. It’s also a totally absorbing, often overpowering spectacle – a $100 million 3D action movie in which Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play two Hollywood-handsome spacefarers, fighting for their lives 375 miles above the Earth’s crust.

A series of captions over the opening titles reminds us that this is a dead zone: no oxygen or air pressure, and nothing to carry sound. “Life in space is impossible,” the final message tells us, as the cinema shakes with Steven Price’s resonant score, and then suddenly falls quiet.

For Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock), a mission specialist in orbit for the first time, the lack of noise is welcome. She’s a medical engineer called up by NASA to install new software on to the Hubble Telescope, but also a mother in mourning for her fouryear-old daughter, whom she lost in a senseless accident, and the silence enfolds her like a comfort blanket.

Gravity, review: “heartachingly tender”

Gravidade, revisão: “dolorosamente terna”

Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts adrift in space, Alfonso Cuarón’s astonishing thriller is one of the films of the year, says Robbie Collin Estrelado por Sandra Bullock e George Clooney como astronautas à deriva no espaço, o surpreendente thriller de Alfonso Cuarón é um dos filmes do ano, diz Robbie Collin

Watch an astronaut drifting through space for long enough and eventually you notice how much they look like a newborn baby. Observe um astronauta vagando pelo espaço por tempo suficiente e no final você perceberá o quanto ele se parece com um bebê recém-nascido.

The oxygen helmet makes their head bigger, rounder and cuter; their hands grasp eagerly at whatever happens to be passing; their limbs are made fat and their movements simple by the spacesuit’s cuddly bulk. O capacete de oxigênio deixa a cabeça maior, mais redonda e mais fofa; suas mãos agarram ansiosamente o que quer que esteja passando; seus membros ficam gordos e seus movimentos são simplificados pelo volume fofinho do traje espacial.

They tumble head-over-heels like tripping toddlers or simply bob there in amniotic suspension. Eles caem de cabeça para baixo como crianças tropeçando ou simplesmente balançam em suspensão amniótica.

Even the lifeline that keeps them tethered to their ship has a pulsing, umbilical aspect. Até a corda salva-vidas que os mantém amarrados à nave tem um aspecto umbilical e pulsante.

Gravity, the new Alfonso Cuarón picture, is a heartachingly tender film about the miracle of motherhood, and the billion-to-one odds against any of us being here, astronauts or not. Gravidade, o novo filme de Alfonso Cuarón, é um filme dolorosamente terno sobre o milagre da maternidade e as probabilidades de um bilhão para um de qualquer um de nós estar aqui, astronauta ou não.

It’s also a totally absorbing, often overpowering spectacle – a $100 million 3D action movie in which Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play two Hollywood-handsome spacefarers, fighting for their lives 375 miles above the Earth’s crust. É também um espetáculo totalmente absorvente, muitas vezes avassalador – um filme de ação 3D de US$ 100 milhões em que Sandra Bullock e George Clooney interpretam dois belos viajantes espaciais de Hollywood, lutando por suas vidas a 600 quilômetros acima da crosta terrestre.

A series of captions over the opening titles reminds us that this is a dead zone: no oxygen or air pressure, and nothing to carry sound. Uma série de legendas nos títulos de abertura nos lembra que esta é uma zona morta: sem oxigênio ou pressão de ar e nada para transportar som.

“Life in space is impossible,” the final message tells us, as the cinema shakes with Steven Price’s resonant score, and then suddenly falls quiet. “A vida no espaço é impossível”, diz-nos a mensagem final, enquanto o cinema treme com a banda sonora ressonante de Steven Price e, de repente, silencia.

For Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock), a mission specialist in orbit for the first time, the lack of noise is welcome. Para o Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock), especialista em missões em órbita pela primeira vez, a falta de ruído é bem-vinda.

She’s a medical engineer called up by NASA to install new software on to the Hubble Telescope, but also a mother in mourning for her fouryear-old daughter, whom she lost in a senseless accident, and the silence enfolds her like a comfort blanket. Ela é uma engenheira médica chamada pela NASA para instalar um novo software no Telescópio Hubble, mas também uma mãe de luto pela filha de quatro anos, que perdeu num acidente sem sentido, e o silêncio envolve-a como um cobertor reconfortante.
