Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asserted that Jammu and Kashmir was an inseparable part of India and both Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin were very much a part of the whole entity. Answering clarifications sought by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary in the Lok Sabha, Shah said that BJP leaders will give up their lives to secure PoK and added that whenever he mentions Jammu and Kashmir, it includes the areas held by Pakistan and China.

“Whenever I talk about Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Aksai Chin comes under it and can die for it,” Shah snapped back at Leader of Congress party Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary.

Shah, who presented in the Lok Sabha the resolution scrapping the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution and legislation for reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir, said Parliament was well within its rights to take up the matter. The Rajya Sabha on Monday gave its approval to the government’s major plan to restructure the state, with the support of most parties barring a part of the opposition led by the Congress.

With speculation rife that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -led central government could abolish or try to amend Article 35A and article 370, which give a special status to Jammu & Kashmir, there is a lot of confusion as to what these two statutes entail. Political parties on either side of the debate have voiced their opinion, with some calling tinkering with Article 35A “like setting powder keg on fire”, while others have supported the idea calling it a move to unify of the country.

What is Article 35A?

This provision of the Constitution allows the Jammu & Kashmir state Assembly to define who is and is not a “permanent resident” of the state. To further break it down, this provision of the Constitution gives the legislators from Jammu & Kashmir the exclusive power to determine as to which people in or outside the state will have special rights and privileges granted by the state.

The provision, inserted through a special Presidential order in 1954, also gives the state Assembly powers to determine the recipients of state grants, the right to purchase land and property in the state, as well as settling permanently in the region. Other than this, the legislative Assembly of Jammu & Kashmir can use the provision to restrict rights of any person not classified under “permanent resident” of the state. Read Complete Article

Italian motorcycle maker Benelli had earlier introduced the Benelli TRK 502 and 502X bikes in February 2019. The company revamped its Indian operations in partnership with the Mahavir Group. The Benelli TRK 502 range of motorcycles was the first to come from their stable.

The Leoncino 500 is powered by the same engine as thoat in the TRK 502 and 502X bikes. The Benelli Leoncino 500 is powered by a 499.6cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, twin-cylinder motor that develops 47.6hp at 8,500rpm and 45Nm of torque at 5,000rpm.

While the Leoncino has been shown in three variants – the standard, Trail and Sport – India is initially only expected to get the standard variant. However, Benelli India has said that it will consider bringing the Trail variant to the country based on the feedback from the market. Read Complete Article

It was caged and only hovered for about a minute, but it flew: a new flying car.

Made by NEC Corp, the vehicle is essentially a large drone with four propellers that’s capable of carrying people. The Japanese electronics maker demonstrated the machine, flying without a passenger, at a Tokyo suburb on Monday. Powered by a battery, it rose briefly to about 3 meters (10 ft) above the ground before settling down again.

Behind the somewhat underwhelming, drama-free demonstration lies a bigger ambition: Japan’s government wants the country to become a leader in flying cars after missing out on advancements in technology such as electric cars and ride-hailing services. The country’s technological roadmap calls for shipping goods by flying cars by around 2023 and letting people ride in flying cars in cities by the 2030s.

“Japan is a densely populated country and that means flying cars could greatly alleviate the burden on road traffic,” said Kouji Okada, a leader of the project at NEC. “We are positioning ourselves as an enabler for air mobility, providing location data and building communications infrastructure for flying cars.” Read Complete Article

Amazfit Bip Lite (Rs 3,999)

This Amazfit Bip Lite is an Apple Watch doppelgänger. The similarities, however, begin and end at looks. In terms of display, features and user interface, the watch has nothing on the masterpiece from Apple. But the Amazfit has an incomparable 45-day battery life.

Who it’s for: If you are reluctant to move more than absolutely necessary, have spare real estate on your wrist most days and would prefer a smartwatch that is lightweight and comfortable, start here. The Bip Lite has a 1.28-inch rectangular dial and an animated touchscreen display with a negligible brightness that stays on 24/7. The watch weighs a meagre 32 gm.

What it does: In addition to time, calendar, alarm and reminders, the watch can count your steps and constantly monitor your heart rate. This also helps the watch estimate the calories you burn in a day or during a particular workout — it has five workout modes (cycling, weight training etc) that you have to manually select before starting your exercise. Just don’t go swimming with it; 30 metre water-resistance is barely enough for a shower.
