A new book chronicles how the world's 12 greatest diamonds that emanated from Golconda and Kollur mines in Andhra Pradesh were whisked away by Mughals, Persians, Brits, French, Turks and Russians after centuries of bloody wars, conspiracies and million-dollar deals, and now ensconced in their national treasures. Sanjay Dharwadker's "Diamond In My Palm" goes on to say that ancient India was not only like a golden sparrow but as much a mine of invaluable glittering solitaires. Although, it is <keyword id="165620" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Koh-i-Noor">Koh-i-Noor</keyword> that sits in the Tower of London and has constantly remained in the eye of storm, this historical fiction also provides intriguing details of some of other famous diamonds like the pink Darya-i-Noor (now in Tehran); the pale, flat-shaped <keyword id="8490179" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Diamond">Shah Diamond</keyword> and the half egg eye shaped, blue-green <keyword id="8490178" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Orlov-diamond">Orlov Diamond</keyword> (nestling in Kremlin); and the fabled Blue Diamond that Jean Baptiste Tavernier first set his eyes on in 1638, when he got an audience with Emperor <keyword id="74797" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Jahan">Shah Jahan</keyword>, and is now the <keyword id="257944" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hope-Diamond">Hope Diamond</keyword> in the Smithsonian. "There is monumental cache of diamonds that originated in India, and after centuries of bloody wars, conspiracies, amorous affairs and million-dollar deals, were ensconced in the national treasures of various countries across the world," the author says. An alumnus of BITS Pilani, Dharwadker worked for India's technology missions in the 1990s, and towards the end of the millennium, he moved to specialise in solutions for identity and identification as applied to national populations. Currently based in Utrecht, Netherlands, he's a consultant with the United Nations working closely with governments on identity law, policy and practices. It was Dharwadker's decade-long stay in Johannesburg in South Africa that triggered this tome. Unlike anywhere else in the world, diamonds in India are known to be thousands of years old, hence, linked not only to history but also mythology. Mined first and foremost in India, circa 800 BC, diamonds were discovered in South Africa 2500 years later, in 1866 CE, while deposits were also found in Brazil by 1726. South Africa's famous diamond mines in Kimberley and Cullinan and other scintillating historical nuggets come alive in the book, brought out by Stellar Publishers. Another interesting fact that the book tells is about the coinage of the catchphrase "A Diamond is forever". The strident propagator of apartheid, Cecil John Rhodes was the first secretary of De Beers Mining when it was formed in 1880. And "A Diamond is forever" was voted the 'advertising slogan of the twentieth century'. Coined for a campaign of De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd in 1947 by Mary Frances Gerety, copywriter at America's oldest advertising agency NW Ayers &amp; Son in Philadelphia, the catchphrase remains in perpetuity. Not only did these luminescent stones bring together India and South Africa, but they were also connected by their colonial past. The book also tells how Ambaji Shinde of JJ School of Art in Mumbai went on to become the most celebrated diamond jewellery designer of the twentieth century, while working for the famed Harry Winston in New York. And that the 34.65-carat shining pink <keyword id="1633785" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Princie-Diamond">Princie Diamond</keyword> of Indian origin was auctioned in April 2013 for a whopping USD 39 million by Christie's, the most expensive diamond ever auctioned in America. Once owned by the <keyword id="797909" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nizam-of-Hyderabad">Nizam of Hyderabad</keyword> and auctioned at the Sotheby's in 1960, it was bought by the French luxury jewellery Van Cleef &amp; Arpels for 46,000 pounds. In Paris, it was christened after Sayajirao Gaekwad, nicknamed Princie, since his mother Sita Devi, second wife of the Maharaja of Baroda, loved Paris and maintained an apartment in this 'City of Light'. All these musings and enticing chronicles turn into a gripping narrative through the fortuitous meeting of a Gandhian scholar from Hyderabad and a mining engineer from Johannesburg at a Middle Eastern international airport, and romance brews. In this trajectory of the immensely enigmatic and lucrative business of magnificent diamonds, a sinister web of desire, deceit and power entangles characters who inhabit the richly evoked social worlds of global cities, from Johannesburg, Antwerp, New York to Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. Dharwadker says his novel is about India, its journey in time and its unparalleled spiritual past.

Hyderabad, Apr 29 (): A day after two men wereallegedly hit by policemen here while enforcing lockdown, thecity police has advised its personnel not to wield the lathis,saying such acts will spoil the hard work being done by the10,000-strong constabulary in assisting the government incontaining the spread of coronavirus. Referring to the incidents, Hyderabad Commissionerof Police Anjani Kumar on Wednesday said the two incidents atGolconda and Mirchowk areas have brought bad name to theHyderabad city police and in this regard a constable andahome guard were placed under suspension for their"unprofessional" conduct. Facing flak over use of force against people whileenforcing lockdown by the police, the Hyderabad Police chiefsaid any action regarding violation of lockdown should be donelegally and added "You can book a case.But do not use lathifor such purpose". In separate incidents, the two men sufferedbleeding injuries and one of them told media persons that onepolice man hit him on his head while he was on his way to buyvegetables. Meanwhile, the Telangana State Human RightsCommission (TSHRC) on Wednesday called for a report byJune 2 from Hyderabad Police Commissioner after an advocateapproached the Commission over the Golconda incident seekingdirections for an inquiry into the matter and necessary actionagainst the police personnel responsible for the act. Kumar said in both the cases police have used lathito hit civilians and added "such unprofessional conduct of twopolice officers spoils the image ofhard work of more than10,000 police officers in the city who are working so hardround- the-clock." He further said it appears the SHOs and AssistantCommissioners of Police are not briefing the police officersbefore the (duty) shift and the DeputyCommissioners ofPolicemust visit two Police Stations every day and brief themen.

Lockdown violation: book case instead of using 'lathi', Hyd Police chief to cops

By Amit Kumar Das New Delhi, Apr 22 () Ace Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh on Wednesday said that the COVID-19 pandemic-forced lockdown and suspension of tournaments will be "tough" on the young players whose careers are still at nascent stage. The coronavirus outbreak, which has killed over 1.5 lakh people and infected more than 2.5 million globally, has brought all sports, including golf, to a halt. In India, nearly 600 people have died so far and over 19,000 infected, forcing the suspension of the Professional Tour of India. "It will be toughest for the players who are starting off because they are waiting to prove themselves, they want to win tournaments, they want to make a livelihood," Jeev, a four-time European Tour champion, told . "These young golfers who have just turned professionals want to make money, want to be on tours but they don't have an opportunity to do that. We have already played for many years and even now going to the senior tour but for players who are in their 20s, they are not able to train." Rahul Bajaj, who won a team silver in golf at the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010, believes players after the 30th position in order of merit of PGTI will face difficult times if things don't return to normal soon. "If it goes on for too long then the pro tour will suffer. If things becomes normal and the virus is under control even then it will be difficult to organise tournaments and arrange sponsors because corporates are suffering right now," said Bajaj, who had won a silver at 2010 SAF Games. "We are in difficult times and I don't think it will be easy for players to make ends meet in these times. There are some players who are better off, have good career earning which will help them to sail through this time." He said it will be particularly tough for a huge number of aspiring players who are in the middle or lower rung. "They might not have a lot of money in their bank account and might suffer. If you go past the 30th position in order of merit in PGTI, they might not have the saving to see through this time." Patna-based golfer Aman Raj, who had finished second at Golconda Masters Golf championship in February, said it will get tough for some players if the pandemic is not brought under control soon and tournaments don't resume."We are all jobless at the moment for a few months but it is same for everyone, few have played well and earned some money to sustain themselves but someone who has just started and depending on golf, it will affect them," said the 24-year-old, who qualified to play in the PGTI tournaments in 2016. "If this thing doesn't come under control and tournaments doesn't start beyond August then it will be a problem," added Raj, who is placed fourth in the PGTI Order of Merit. The Asian Tour had suspended tournaments until the end of May in line with the US PGA and European Tours, in which the last completed event was the Qatar Masters. Among the top events, the Masters was postponed from April to November, while the PGA Championship was deferred from May until August, and the US Open moved from June to September. ATK PDSPDS

The visuals of the body being carried in the three-wheeler in total violation of the guidelines for transporting the bodies of COVID-19 victims, went viral on social media on Saturday. The body was seen protruding from both sides of the vehicle as it was kept at the bottom of the rear seat. Neither the autorickshaw driver, said to be a relative of the deceased nor the local municipal employee sitting with him was wearing Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kits. Hyderabad MP urges people to undergo COVID-19 test AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday underwent a COVID-19 test to create public awareness in his constituency about the need to undergo the test. He visited the Government Nizamia General Hospital near the historic Charminar to give his samples for testing. "Got my antigen &amp; RT PCR tests done for COVID-19 today. My antigen test results were negative, Alhamdulilah. There are 30 odd centres in the South of Hyderabad where antigen testing is being conducted, I encourage all of you to not hesitate &amp; get tested," he later tweeted. Charminar, Golconda Fort shut after brief re-opening The Charminar and the Golconda Fort, two of Hyderabad's most famous monuments, were re-opened for visitors on Monday, only to be shut again as authorities took a U-turn. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which is responsible for the upkeep of the centrally protected monuments, went back on its decision after the Telangana government opposed their re-opening as both were located close to areas witnessing a spike in Covid-19 cases. Few people had booked their tickets online and were allowed entry but sale of tickets was stopped after local authorities expressed the apprehension that re-opening of the monuments could lead to violation of social distancing and other Covid-19 norms. 2 Hyderabad jewellers' corona deaths create panic among party guests The death of two city jewellers due to coronavirus within five days has led to panic among around 150 people from various walks of life who attended a birthday party thrown by one of them in Hyderabad a few days. A 63-year-old diamond jeweller who had organised the party for his relatives and friends two weeks ago succumbed on Friday. One of his guests, another city jeweller, had died earlier. A leading politician from the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and 11 others who attended the party have since tested positive and are undergoing treatment at different hospitals.As many as 150 people had attended the birthday bash hosted by the jeweller who owns a shop in Himayatnagar area. Many leading jewellers, politicians and prominent people from various walks of life were among the attendees. As new lockdown looms over Hyderabad, migrants head for Andhra With another lockdown looming over Hyderabad, hundreds of people were heading to their native places in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Fearing that they may be stuck in the city if the lockdown was re-imposed, workers and businessmen were returning to be with their near and dear ones. Using whatever mode of transport available to them, the migrants were leaving Hyderabad, which is witnessing a big spike in Covid-19 cases. Majority of those returning home were daily wagers, construction labourers, domestic help and traders. Most of them had returned to Hyderabad after easing of lockdown in May. Biggest single-day jump takes Telangana Covid tally to 18,570 In the biggest surge since the outbreak of Covid-19, Telangana on Thursday registered 1,213 cases, taking the tally to 18,570 cases. With this, Telangana overtook Rajasthan and climbed to the seventh spot in the list of states with most cases. Under fire from different quarters for low testing, the state authorities ramped up the testing. According to the director of public health and family welfare, 5,356 tests were conducted. Covid fight in Telangana gets mired in political slugfest The fight against Covid-19 in Telangana has become mired in a political slugfest between the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government and the opposition parties. With the daily jump in new infections almost touching 1,000 and the state touching a new high with each passing day, the criticism of the government's response to the crisis is also mounting. Public Interest Litigations (PILs) filed by activists and the reprimands received by the government from the High Court has given ammunition to the opposition to attack the government, which claims to be handling the situation effectively and sees a conspiracy by "vested interests" to malign the government and state-run hospitals. The Centre's assessment is that between June 10 and 23, Telangana had the highest positivity rate in India at 27.7 per cent (ratio of people testing positive to number of people tested) and the latest data that Telangana is doing lowest number of tests per 10 lakh population at just 2,356 has also come handy to the opposition. HC asks Telangana govt to spell out stand on online classes The Telangana High Court on Wednesday directed the state government to spell out its stand on the ongoing online classes by private schools and inform it by Friday if any policy on online classes had been framed or not. The court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Hyderabad School Students Parents Association, seeking directions to ban online classes. The petitioner argued that conducting online classes before the beginning of an academic year is "illegal". The court was told that the government had not yet issued orders with regard to the beginning of the new academic year. Telangana postpones all common entrance examinations The Telangana government on Tuesday decided to postpone all the Common Entrance Examinations (CETs) for admission to various professional courses in the state, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. The CETs, including the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (TS EAMCET) 2020 were scheduled to begin from Wednesday. The government conveyed its decision to the Telangana High Court during hearing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking direction to postpone the examinations. Telangana pauses mass testing in hotspot Hyderabad The health authorities in Telangana on June 25 decided to pause the ongoing mass testing for Covid-19 in Hyderabad and surrounding districts in view of the piling-up of samples in testing laboratories. With 8,235 samples still pending in the labs for testing, the authorities said collection of more samples without testing the pending ones will create problems. Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao had announced on June 14 that 50,000 Covid-19 tests will be done in 30 Assembly constituencies in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. Till June 16, the health authorities collected 36,000 samples. With inputs from IANS.

Telangana Coronavirus cases rise to 50,826 – 447 dead and 39,327 cured till July 23

Be it the picturesque Valley of Flowers or North-East, whether it is breathtaking waterfalls in Goa and Chhattisgarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, or sunsets at beaches of Kerala and Visakhaptanam, India has always been an attraction for the world. The massive forts in Hyderabad and Rajasthan and holy cities like Bodh Gaya, Mathura, Madurai, Mount Abu, etc. have also mesmerised tourists across the globe. 
 
And off lately, since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the #IncredibleIndia call during his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ address, did you notice that both Facebook and Twitter are flooded with photographs from across India. 
 
It has become an instant hit among everyone and to one’s surprise Modi himself is re-tweeting all photos. While getting their tweets retweeted by the PM is one of the reasons why people are enthusiastically posting their travel pics on social media, what else is encouraging them is the pride they have for their country. 
 
Or in Divya Jain’s words, a twitter account holder, “This way we can promote tourism in our country and show the entire world that India is incredible and magnificent.” 
 
We picked up 10 best photos from Twitterati on #IncredibleIndia. Take a look!
