Hitler, Goebbels, Lalu Prasad, Nitish Kumar - who's who?
Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels may be pardoned for suffering an identity crisis in his grave. Bihar's chief minister Nitish Kumar called his political bete noire Lalu Prasad Goebbels the other day. Now Lalu Prasad - railway minister in the central government - has called Nitish Kumar Goebbels, and Hitler to boot.
It all began Wednesday when Nitish Kumar compared Lalu to Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
"Lalu has outsmarted even Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in telling lies," Nitish Kumar said, referring to Lalu Prasad's allegation that the state government was making it difficult for the railway ministry to acquire land to set up a rail wheel factory at Bela in Chapra, his parliamentary constituency.
"Lalu is the biggest liar I have ever known," the chief minister added.
On Thursday, Lalu Prasad returned the compliment in good measure, comparing Nitish Kumar to both Hitler and Goebbels.
"Nitish Kumar has the qualities of both Hitler and Goebbels," the railway minister said.
Lalu Prasad claimed that Nitish Kumar's own party men call him Hitler for his dictatorial attitude.
While Lalu Prasad blames the chief minister for delaying the implementation of railway projects in the state, Nitish Kumar says the railway minister does not want to develop railways in Bihar.(IANS)

Is Patna University Going Back To 'dark Days'?

Three new IITs coming, but where's the infrastructutre, buildings or faculty?
Here's another example of the clumsy manner in which the HRD ministry handles India's most prestigious institutions of higher education. Three new IITs are opening next month, but no buildings, infrastructure or faculty befitting the global brand is in place yet.
Three existing IITs -- Guwahati, Madras and Delhi -- have been made `mentor institutions' for the new institutes at Patna, Medak and Rajasthan.
Faculty from the Guwahati and Madras IITs will be deployed to teach at makeshift campuses at Patna and Medak. IIT Rajasthan doesn't even have a `makeshift campus', and will debut from its mentor's campus at IIT Delhi.
Besides inconveniencing faculty assigned to the new IITs, the arrangement is bound to affect the quality of instruction. Taking into account the new OBC quota, the teacher student ratio will increase to 1:18 from the existing 1:12. Ideally, it should be no more than 1:9.
In April, Higher Education Secretary R.P. Aggarwal announced that IIT Rajasthan would have a makeshift campus at IIT Delhi. Ministry officials also said IIT-D had begun work on the campus.
But on Monday, authorities at IIT-D betrayed ignorance: "There is a lot of talk about it but I don't know whether it would happen or not," DN Jain, Deputy Director (Faculty) at IIT-D, said.

Where 'backward' Bihar leads India
For many years, Bihar in northern India has earned notoriety for being one of the poorest and most lawless states in the country.
Nobel-prize winning author VS Naipaul once described it as the place where "civilisation ends".
But all is not lost, perhaps. We discover five areas where Bihar might consider itself to be ahead of other Indian states.
WOMEN POWER
Bihar is the only state in India to have 50% of places in local municipal bodies reserved for women.
Babita Devi, a thirty-something mother of two children, is one of the beneficiaries of this positive discrimination in a male-dominated society where women have traditionally lived and worked on the margins.
The wife of a small farmer, Mrs Devi defeated 19 contestants to win the civic election in her area and become a municipal commissioner.
Now she works to keep her neighbourhood clean and improve its sanitation.
"For the first time in my life I have got respect and attention from my family and society. It feels good," she says.
The present government in Bihar, run by the Janata Dal (United) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), began the policy of reserving half of local municipal body seats for women.
Today half of the 262,000 elected councillors to local municipalities in the state are women.
"The 50% reservation for women in civic bodies is not only empowering women but educating them to a great extent," says social scientist Dr Shaibal Gupta.
