Supreme Cort slapped government, Supreme Court rejects Centre's plea for 4.5% sub-quota for Muslims

In a setback for the Union government, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay Andhra Pradesh high court order quashing 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities in central educational institutions, including in IITs this year.

The SC said the government's decision to implement 4.5% sub quota from January this year did not prima facie appear to be supported by constitutional provisions.

"We are not inclined to grant stay," a bench comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 percent sub-quota for minorities.

It further said that the December 22, 2011 office memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.

The apex court said, unlike the 27% reservation to OBCs in central educational institutions, the carving of 4.5% sub-quota is not supported by even a law.

The SC said it appears that the carving out of 4.5% sub-quota was purely based on religious considerations.

With today's apex court decision, the OBC students will get an additional 443 seats in IITs, which were kept aside for Muslims under 4.5% sub-quota.

Wednesday is the last of counselling for IIT admissions and the government ended up disappointed being not able to push through the sub-quota in IITs.

wat u think is congress is playing with muslims? Is congress playion religion based politics?

Salman Khan to play a superhero with magical locks

 
From being the actor who had to get hair weaving done to counter a receding hairline, to playing a Samson-like character with special powers in his tresses, Salman Khan has surely come a long way.

In his upcoming project Sher Khan, to be directed by brother Sohail Khan, he will play a superhero with special powers in his shoulder length hair. What's more, in keeping with theBollywood legacy of Sher Khan being a Pathan(a la Pran in Prakash Mehra's 1973 blockbusterZanjeer), Salman's character too, will have similar roots.

Interestingly, last time Salman played a Pathan was in Sawan Kumar's 1991 film Sanam Bewafa. But Salman Khan's Sher Khan will not be the stereotypical gendermixing (hum bolegi, tum sunegi) Pathan. In the words of writer Rumi Jaffery, Sohail's home production will "feature Salman in a look he has never tried before." Needless to say, this superhero will be quite different from Superman, Spider Man or the indigenous Krrish or G.One.

In an earlier version of the script, Sher Khan was meant to be a South Indian action star a laDabangg or Rowdy Rathore. "Kona Venkatesh who wrote Salman's Ready was summoned to do the screenplay for the film. Now, Sohail and Salman have changed their mind. They roped in Rumi Jaffery to write an action film for the kids instead," a source told us.

"Though he has had a massive fan following among kids, none of Salman bhai's films have been specially targeted at children. Dilip Shukla (who's also writing Dabangg 2) and I are designingbhai's first film aimed at the young viewers," added Rumi.

And the superhero Salman won't be flying in the air wearing a cape. "He will be a hero that kids can identify with. The action scenes won't have him beating up a dozen goons single-handedly. He has done these things many times before," said Rumi. We learnt that Salman's action scenes will be inspired by the ancient forms of martial arts from Kerala.

But the leading lady opposite superhero Salman is yet to be finalised. "It has to be someone who can perform well. Since Salman bhai is changing in Sher Khan, the leading lady can't be familiar either. We're looking. We have time. We start in October."

Critics Rowdy Rathore....... Rowdy Rathore has old Khiladi, no new tricks

Critics Rowdy Rathore....... Rowdy Rathore has old Khiladi, no new tricks

Prabhudheva's 'Rowdy Rathore' is a typical masala film, packed with romance, drama, melodrama and lots of action. The film is loaded with Tamil-style punch lines, slow motion action sequences where blood quietly trickles on to dusty ground and menacing-looking villains who live in a Ramgarh-styled (remember, Sholay) haunt.

The protagonist is a smart small time conman who is ready to mend his ways when he falls in love. Just when he is ready to turn over a new leaf, he runs into a small girl who thinks he is her father and some goons who are people vying for his blood. A few chases and some confusion later, we realize that Shiva (our conman) has been mistaken for Vikram Singh Rathore, an upright and courageous police officer.

Prabhudheva manages to blend the many ingredients that can spice-up this potpourri. However, too much time is spent on the back story. We would much rather see more of Rowdy Rathore than a long tragic flashback.

Akshay Kumar in a double role returns to the action genre after quite a while. He is definitely much better in this film than the over-the-top comic roles that he has been doing lately. There is ample display of the very voluptuous Sonakshi Sinha's curves. While she has little more to do than look good and gyrate to strong pelvic thrusts, she does justice to her role.

If you have a high threshold for mindless nonsense then you must go and watch this movie. Its Akshay Kumar's 'Dabangg', may be not as much fun but good time pass.

we are giving *** (3/5)
