Salim Khan mentioned the Rs 20-25 crore number offhand to emphasise that Salman Khan had not got away easily.

December 2, 2015, NewsCrunch

The acquittal of Salman Khan in the 2002 hit and run case has been criticised as proof that justice can be bought in India.

So, how much did he spend on his legal defence? His father Salim Khan says Rs 20 to 25 crore.

The money has been spent over 13 years on the most expensive lawyers of the country. Harish Salve, the legal star, who got him bail after conviction at Mumbai lower court is known to charge up to Rs 30 lakh a hearing.

Salim Khan mentioned the Rs 20-25 crore number offhand to emphasise that Salman Khan had not got away easily.

He told PTI that Salman Khan has been in jail for a few days, paid a hefty legal fee and undergone a lot of tension, along with the family.

The UP police arrested Kamlesh Tiwari last Friday for making remarks against minority community

December 12, 2015, NewsCrunch

Over a lakh Muslims went on protest at Muzzafarnagar on Friday demanding death sentence to Meerut-based self proclaimed Hindu Mahasabha leader, Kamlesh Tiwari.

They were protesting against a blasphemous statement made by Kamlesh Tiwari against the Prophet.

The same day thousands of Muslims went on protest against Kamlesh Tiwari in Bangalore throwing traffic out of gear in may parts of the city.

Over last 10 days similar protests have broken out in Deoband, Meerurt, Ludhiana, Bhopal, Bhatkal, Bhopal, Srinagar and other places.

The UP police arrested Kamlesh Tiwari last Friday for making remarks and circulating pamphlets against the minority community. But the protests continue to spread to different cities.

Shaken up the protests Hindu Mahasabha denied that Kamlesh Tiwari was its member. Ashok Sharma, national vice-president, Hindu Mahasabha, blamed BJP, RSS and other saffron groups for spreading the rumour that Kamlesh Tiwari was a Mahasabha member.

Kamlesh Tiwari has made controversial statements earlier as well. He had allegedly offered a reward to get Muslim MP Asaduddin Owaisi killed.

The burly bearded guy from the terribly named comedy channel STFU 18 is on prowl again.

If you care to remember, his brand of humour involves pulling pranks on random strangers, which almost get him beaten up.

This time he accosts people asking for their ATM card and pin. Because, you see it is Monday afternoon, and he wants to have a drink.

Don’t worry, he assures, he has no plan of returning the money.

People are baffled and as he persists, even the good natured of them turn abusive and threaten to beat him up.

Sundar Pichai’s full statement on tolerance, open-mindedness and diversity below

December 12, 2015, NewsCrunch

In a blog post made on Friday night, Google CEO Sundar Pichai called for support to Muslims and other minority communities in the US and around the world.

He made the post in response to Republican candidate Donald Trump’s suggestion that Muslims be banned from entering the United States.

Pichai says he hesitated to go public with his thoughts as “… Criticism of intolerance just gives more oxygen to this debate.”

He gave his own example to show how America had given him a chance to build his life, career and family with its open-mindedness and tolerance.

Arguing that hearing different voices was the strength of both USA and Google, he said, he was working to make his company more diverse.

Pichai grew up in India and came to the US22 years ago. He was named CEO of Google in August.

Full text of Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s statement on tolerance, open-mindedness and diversity

I came to the USfrom India22 years ago. I was fortunate enough to gain entry to a university here, and time after time, I saw that hard work opened other doors. I have built a career and a family and a life here. And I've felt as much a part of this country, as I felt growing up in India.

My experience is obviously not unique. It's been said a million times that America is the "land of opportunity" --- for millions of immigrants, it's not an abstract notion, but a concrete description of what we find here. Americaprovided access to opportunities that simply didn't exist for many of us before we arrived.

And it's not just about opportunity. The open-mindedness, tolerance, and acceptance of new Americans is one of the country's greatest strengths and most defining characteristics. And that is no coincidence -- America, after all, was and is a country of immigrants.

That is why it's so disheartening to see the intolerant discourse playing out in the news these days --- statements that our country would be a better place without the voices, ideas and the contributions of certain groups of people, based solely on where they come from, or their religion.

I walk around the campus where I work and see a vibrant mix of races and cultures. Every one of those people has a different voice... a different perspective... a different story to tell. All of that makes our company an exciting and special place to be, and allows us to do great things together. We are urgently working to become much more diverse, because it's so important to our future success. I firmly believe that whether you're building a company or leading a country, a diverse mix of voices and backgrounds and experiences leads to better discussions, better decisions, and better outcomes for everyone.

I debated whether to post this, because lately it seems that criticism of intolerance just gives more oxygen to this debate. But I feel we must speak out --- particularly those of us who are not under attack. Everyone has the right to their views, but it's also important that those who are less represented know that those are not the views of all.

Let's not let fear defeat our values. We must support Muslim and other minority communities in the USand around the world.

It’s a very real thing. I’ve experienced it first hand – Ranveer Singh on casting couch (video below)

December 14, 2015, NewsCrunch

A-list actor Ranveer Singh has come out in public to vouch for the existence of casting couch in Bollywood.

What’s more, he even says, he himself had been subjected to an indecent proposal by a gay Bollywood personality, whom he did not identify.

Ranveer Singh made the revelation during an interview with Shekar Gupta for NDTV.

He said he had carefully got his portfolio done and went to the Andheri house of a Bollywood stalwart to hand it over.

The man was not interested in seeing the portfolio but in getting physically intimate. When Ranveer Singh did not allow it, he broke down and acted like a jilted lover.

B K S Iyengar strike perfect postures in demo video

December 14, 2015, NewCrunch

Google Doodle is celebrating what would have been the 97th birthday of B K S Iyengar, the guru who took yoga to the West.

Iyengar Yoga, a simplified sequence of Patanjali Yoga, which is named after him, is today taught in more than 70 countries.

Not a small feat for a man, who started his life’s journey as poor and sickly child, at a remote part of Karnataka.

He was taught yoga by a relative to help him overcome his health problems. Along the way, B K S Iyengar realised that he was a gifted communicator, who could teach intricacies of Patanjali Yoga to rank newbies.

During his long career he developed an illustrious band of followers, which could boast of names like Aldous Huxley, Yehudi Menuhin and Quen Elizabeth of Bekgium.

His personal commitment to Yoga, which made him practice daily with all the zeal of a rookie, remained till he passed away last year.

The video below was shot in 1977, when B K S Iyengar was 59. It shows him striking posture after posture with the physical flexibility of  a teenager.

In a speech made on February 16, DIG B K Loshali had claimed that he had issued the order blow the boat off. (Video below)

December 14, 2015, NewsCrunch

Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali has been sacked for contradicting the official stand on the sinking of a Pakistanfishing boat last year.

On December 31, 2014, a Pakistani fishing boat was intercepted by the Indian Coast Guard off the coast of Gujarat. The vessel caught fire and sunk along with four occupants.

The Government officials led by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said the occupants of the board were "possible terrorists" who had committed suicide by blowing up their own boat.

But in a speech made on February 16, DIG B K Loshali had claimed that he had issued the order blow the boat off. “We don't want to serve them biryani," he had said.

After media accessed the video footage, the government had removed Loshali as the Chief of Staff, North West, and ordered a Board of Inquiry to court martial him.

A Congress protest went badly wrong in Shimla on Monday when a few of them got injured while burning an effigy of PM Modi.

The Congress workers were protesting the alleged hounding of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. They were also reportedly not happy with CBI and ED pursuing the corruption case against former CM Virbhadra Singh.

A video accessed by ABP News shows Congress workers pouring oil to Modi’s effigy and setting a match to it. As the effigy suddenly bursts into flames, many of them in the vicinity catch fire.

Though others rushed to douse the fire, two Congress workers are said to be in serious condition.

ISIS terrorists have been driven out of Kobani and Al-Houl by Kurdish militia, which has many women in its ranks.

Kurds started fighting ISIS way before the international powers could see the danger and get their act in place.

A lot of Kurds’ success is due to their tough all-women unit, which has 7,000 women - 20% of total Kurdish fighters.

While Indiaand other countries hesitate to put women in battle roles, Kurds have shown what women can do.

ISIS terrorists are said to be afraid of fighting Kurdish women as they believe that they would not go to heaven if killed by them.

The cartoon, which shows Indians eating solar panels, has been widely criticised

December 15, 2015, NewsCrunch

Australia’s most famous cartoonist Bill Leak drew a racist cartoon on Monday showing Indians in bad light.

Bill Leak, who is a cartoonist for The Australian, owned by Rupert Murdoch, was trying to criticise India’s stand in Paris Climate meet.

The cartoon shows thin Indians wearing turbans, who are so starving they are trying to eat solar panels.

India took a tough stand at Paris meet asking rich nations to change their lifestyle. It said it will continue with its coal power plants while committing to embrace greener energy technologies such as solar.

Bill Leak, who admits that he has become rabid right-winger over the years, says the shift has nothing to do with an accident that broke his head in 2008 and made him go through a brain surgery.

The Guardian described the cartoon as “unequivocally racist” and said it would not have been published in UK, the US or Canada.

It is not clear if odd and even traffic days will cure Delhi’s pollution.

But it will sure make life difficult for its people.

A video from Broken Cameras Films shows a Delhiman, whose life is devastated by the odd and even traffic days.

The traffic rule pops up as a spoil sport when he wants to meet his friends, attend parties and pay electricity bill.

It gets pretty cruel when his hot girlfriend leaves him for another guy, who has odd and even numbered vehicles.

A painful reality, but good fun to watch.

The findings are in line with several other studies, which claim women are inherently bisexual.

December 14, 2015, NewsCrunch

There seems to be some truth to the popular notion that even women, who identify themselves as heterosexual, have bisexual inclinations.

Researcher Gerulf Rieger from the University of Essex, England, has published a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology covering 345 women, making the claim.

He had earlier established that there was a 100% link between pupil dilation and sexual arousal.  That is, when you watch porn, as to be expected, your pupils dilate.

The new study used eye-tracking devices to find that videos of naked men and women equally caused straight women's pupils to dilate, signalling sexual arousal.

"Even though the majority of women identify as straight, our research clearly demonstrates that when it comes to what turns them on, they are either bisexual or gay, but never straight," said Rieger.

In contrast, women who identified themselves as lesbians had no response for naked males.

The findings are in line with several other studies, which claim women are inherently bisexual.

In 2011, a study from Boise State University stated that 60 percent of heterosexual women admitted to being attracted to other women, while 45 percent had kissed another woman.

Sunny Leone is not pregnant and has no plans to go that way anytime soon

December 15, 2015, NewsCrunch

Indian media is running reports that adult star Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber are all set to welcome their baby. 

If you read this headline, you will think that Sunny Leone is pregnant and a baby is on the way sometime next year.

You will also be a little jolted as Bollywood actresses do not like to have babies in the prime of their career and Sunny Leone is just taking off here.  

But if you read on, the reports will tell you that Sunny Leone is not expecting. She only said her mother-in-law wants grand kids and is not happy that the couple is taking way  too long.

So, what is Sunny Leone's response. Of course, she wants to have babies, but only when her busy schedule permits.

Sangita Singh quits Wipro - here's what made her so special

December 15, 2015, NewsCrunch

Sangita Singh, the head of Wipro's healthcare and life sciences division, has quit the company.

She was one of the best known employees of Wipro, having been recognised as a Young Global Leader of 2010 by the World Economic Forum.

The most inspiring story about Sangita Singh is how she got the biggest break of her life. It did not come to her, she had to make a go for it.

When Vivek Paul was the CEO of Wipro, she was a product sales executive in Portland, USA.

Wipro was looking for a Chief Marketing Officer, a job Sangita Singh wanted badly.

She landed in Vivek Paul's office in California without knowing him or even where he sat, but managed to speak to him.

Vivek Paul, who was known for his impatience and quick temper, told her that he did not have time to speak to her and also did not know anything about her. But she persisted and got an appointment with him to make a presentation.

Sangita Singh did that a few days later and impressed him with her vision, bluntness and honesty. He liked that there was no empty rhetoric in the slides.

The job was hers, where she stayed for nearly five years, before moving on to head Wipro's enterprise IT business.

Not just Sangita Singh, even Vivek Paul counts the incident as one of the most memorable of his career.

Richard Neave created the “Black Jesus” portrait for a BBC series more than a decade ago.

December 15, 2015, NewsCrunch

Ever wondered how Jesus Christ actually looked?  He was definitely not a Caucasian, who came with white skin, blue eyes and flowing blonde hair.  

A former professor at Manchester University, Richard Neave, has provided the closest representation of how Jesus Christ may have looked using forensic techniques.

He worked with three skulls found at Israeli archaeological sites and used computerized tomography to evaluate their thickness and possible skin and muscles patterns on the face.

He also drew inputs from other sources –ancient drawings to determine the colour of Christ’s hair and Bible passages that mention their length.

The image, he developed, depicts a “Black Jesus” with short hair, muscular build, broad nose and tan skin.

While we may never get to know how Jesus actually looked, Richard Neave’s depiction is probably closer to truth than the White Jesus we are used to.

Richard Neave created the “Black Jesus” portrait for a BBC series more than a decade ago. For some reason social media took fancy and started trending it again.
