Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the report. |
P: India seemed to have a player just when he was needed, and it was rather dramatically apparent in the last Test where the soft spoken and oft-forgotten Cheteshwar Pujara played an innings of great skill and application. Pujara seems to approach life with the seriousness of an economist and in the first innings on a wonderfully seamer- friendly track at the Sinhalese Sports Club, it was a quality to savour. |
Q: Ashwin took many giant strides forward as a bowler and a disappointing step back as a batsman. Like his tall, long-haired friend, he surpassed himself. But we must say that the Sri Lankans produced excellent pitches and the players delivered memorable cricket. If India's curators can do that, we have a thrilling season of Test cricket ahead. |
R: But having three bowlers in great form is a gift few teams have. That one of them is a fast bowler is, if anything, a luxury even if he is someone who has caused people to tear their hair in frustration. We saw that great spell young Ishant produced against Ponting in 2008. Over the next seven years, it remained a solitary jewel in his crown. After Sri Lanka, Ishant has a second jewel. |
S: An away win has been a long time coming. |
Like controlling inflation and preventing food wastage, it was considered unattainable in recent times. But as with the other two problems, intent and belief is often the key in sport and we saw a lot of that in Sri Lanka; even though letting the first Test slip was something only an inept policeman in a movie would have allowed. |

At a time when shrill propaganda by ideologues seems to have become the norm, Mr. Ansari's speech sounded remarkably reasonable.

Manipur has often been the setting for violent agitations with those behind them demanding the implementation of an Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in order to define an protect "insiders" from buying up land on the one hand and from the unregulated entry of "outsiders" on the other. All this can be traced to the core ? in the agitations of 1920, 1935, and 1965, when sections targeted the "outsider" monopoly in trade. The agitations, in 1980, 1994, and from 2006 onwards, have been primarily against unregulated immigrants who bought up land and immovable properties. |
The agitations have been motivated by the situation that has set alarm bells ringing following unrestrained demographic pressure by "outsiders" and the need for an ILP as it exists in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and |
Nagaland. The ILP is required for 'other' Indian citizens to enter Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram. The objective has been to prevent outsiders from buying up land and owning natural resources in Manipur. But these stirs have been confined to the Manipur valley, which is about 9 per cent of the geographical area and where 61.54 per cent of the enumerated population (Census 2001) comprises the majority community Meitei, tribals and others living together. Interpretations of the campaign have been along communal lines, probably because it was concentrated in the valley and led by Meitei-based organisations. |
