On July 28h, 2011, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) initiated action against University of Northern Virginia ( www.unva.edu ) and served with a Notice of Intent to withdraw (NOWI) ability to enroll or maintain International students admitted under Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVIS). The majority of International population at the University consists of students from India reportedly from Andhra Pradesh. The Situation is vastly different from the “Trivalley Situation” where in the investigation was on the students and their SEVIS status was changed from ACTIVE to TERMINATED. However, in the case of UNVA, the focus is on the University and its inability to follow rules set forth by SEVIS for International Students. There have been no arrests or detentions or electronic monitoring and the SEVIS status of students is unchanged and continues to be ACTIVE for their approved duration of study. The University would not be immediately shut down but would be given a one mo...

I once used to say that I am from the land of the Nizams and Nawabs. There was an air of flamboyance and royalty when I said that I belonged to Hyderabad. In no time, my city became the hottest destinations for many people from different parts of the country and that made me twirl my moustache in pride. While those were the good old day, cut to now, things have gone completely haywire. Forget those who come from outside, me being a pure Hyderabadi, I have begun to feel suffocated. I have a good job in one of the blue chip IT companies, have a nice home, perfect group of friends and the ‘Chillax’ Hyderabadi lifestyle but the last one year or so has made this heaven into hell. Thanks to the Telangana bomb triggered by Mr KCR, life has not been the same for me and many like me. Our industry has taken a big hit and what’s with these bandhs? In less than an year, I have seen the 11th bandh at an average of one per month. Where is the city heading? It is disgusting to see even ministers ...

“We believe in Telangana statehood. We feel its need. We joined our leaders in every movement sacrificing our studies and lives. But many of the leaders are just using this movement for their self growth as leaders but not for statehood. My father also says that the sincerity is lacking in leaders today unlike in 1969. But still I don’t step back. I see separate Telangana before I die”, said Yadagiri Goud, a PG scholar in Osmania University. When probed into the reason for their dissatisfaction on leaders, Ashok Kumar, another student said, “Telangana leaders are simply playing with us. They instigate us and make us wilder during movements. And the fun is we used to support only TRS initially. But eventually Congress leaders have also joined the movement from their end. TDP also joined with their Telangana Forum. They brought split among us ‘Congress supporting Osmaniates’, ‘Telangana forum of TDP supporting Osmaniates’ and ‘TRS supporting Osmaniates’. Well, we have started our sacri...

Sachin Tendulkar batted with a running fever during India's first innings on Saturday and left for the team hotel soon after he was out in the first Test, it has been learnt. Tendulkar, who was just one ton short of his 100th international century, was down with fever when he came into the middle with the team's score reading 77 for two. He did well to survive till lunch break and on resumption struck six sumptuous fours while rattling up a quick 34 from 58 balls and batting for close to an hour and a half. After he was out, caught at second slip off Stuart Broad, the little master left the ground for team hotel and it's learnt he took antibiotics and preferred a good sleep for himself. He was thus understandably missing on the field when England began their second innings at the fag end of the day's play. He would be required to be fit when India bat again in an attempt to draw the first Test and not concede a 0-1 advantage to England in the four-Test series....

It’s official now — Indians hold about USD 2.5 billion (over Rs 11,000 crore) in Swiss banks, but this figure of Switzerland’s central bank may be a gross understatement of the total wealth directly and indirectly held there by entities from India. The ever-growing judicial scrutiny and political outcry over alleged stashing ofblack money in Swiss banks also seems to be forcing Indian entities to move their monies to other safe havens like the Middle East,Singapore and Mauritius. Some half a billion dollars have been moved out in the last three years, according to the central bank’s figures. In the first-ever disclosure of money held in various Swiss banks by Indians, Swiss National Bank (SNB) has said the quantum of such deposits stood at 1.945 billion Swiss francs (about USD 2.5 billion) at the end of 2010. Giving a break-up of this amount, Walter Meier, the spokesperson for theSNB President, said this included about USD 2.1 billion dollars in the form of savings and deposits...
