Net damage: On the fisheries dispute, India and Sri Lanka
​India’s fisherfolk must be weaned away from bottom trawling

The resumption of fishing off India’s eastern coast including the Palk Bay, after the annual 61-day ban on fishing, has led to the death of a sailor from the Sri Lanka Navy. The Sri Lankan Navy had carried out an operation on June 25 morning to “chase away a cluster of Indian poaching trawlers” in Sri Lankan waters off Kankesanthurai, near Jaffna. A trawler-vessel was impounded and 10 fishermen apprehended, of whom eight were from Tamil Nadu and the rest from Andhra Pradesh. There have also been several cases of Indian (Tamil Nadu) fishermen dying too. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, sought the intervention of the External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, in releasing the vessel and the men. In his reply sent to the Chief Minister on Thursday, Mr. Jaishankar said the Indian High Commission had been seeking the early release of 34 fishermen in judicial remand and six others who were serving sentences.

This is an opportunity for the two countries to revive the negotiation process, exclusively to deal with the fisheries dispute, which became aggravated in the wake of the 1974 and 1976 bilateral agreements to demarcate their maritime boundary lines. Mr. Stalin has done well to remind Mr. Jaishankar to convene a meeting of the Joint Working Group, last held (virtually) over two years ago. The acts of Indian fishermen crossing the international maritime boundary line are clearly illegal; factors relating to protection of livelihood opportunities cannot be delinked from the importance of the preservation of the marine ecosystem. A gradual replacement of bottom trawlers being used by the Tamil Nadu fishermen is a must, but the fisherfolk require time to prepare for diversification — deep sea fishing, marine cage farming, seaweed cultivation and processing, and sea ranching. The experiences of the deep sea fishing project, being executed by the Union and Tamil Nadu governments, are clear enough to conclude that it is a failure. After nearly seven years of implementation, only 61 deep sea fishing vessels have been handed over to beneficiaries, with 19 more under construction. It would be thoughtful if the Union government clubs the project with an all-India programme, where the unit cost of a deep sea fishing vessel is ₹40 lakh higher, at least to get a better response even at this stage. The unit cost of a deep sea fishing vessel under the Central-State project is ₹80 lakh. New Delhi and Colombo can devise additional schemes to help the Northern Province’s fishermen even more. But what is more important is that the two countries, representatives of the fishing community and officials from Tamil Nadu and the Northern Province should meet soon to find a way out of the dispute.

Lip service: On the Emergency and government’s actions
The ruling party cannot critique the Emergency while promoting authoritarianism

The Emergency, imposed on June 25, 1975 by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and which lasted 21 months till March 21, 1977, remains a blot on the history of democratic India. The rule by decree, the suspension of civil liberties and free speech, the arbitrariness of government actions, and the indiscriminate arrests of dissenters and Opposition figures using draconian preventive detention laws, among other measures, continue to haunt Indians who experienced it in all its vicious forms. The traumatic episode is a reminder of the responsibility of democratic institutions in always safeguarding the freedoms and rights of citizens. When freshly elected and returning Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla read out a resolution, on Wednesday, “condemning the imposition of Emergency” and termed it as an attack on the Constitution, one could have considered this as a note of caution about the perils of suspending civil liberties, and as a pledge that this would never be allowed to happen again. But seen in the light of Mr. Birla’s actions, when, as Speaker in the 17th Lok Sabha, he indiscriminately used his powers to suspend several Opposition MPs, and the executive’s use of draconian laws to stifle dissent from civil society, the polity and the media, the resolution seems not much more than lip service against the Emergency. It seems more a political ploy to target the Congress party. Indeed, the ruling BJP in the recent past resorted to similar excesses without even the fig leaf of a declaration of Emergency.

If the government of the day is truly committed to undo the damages of the Emergency and not repeat its grave errors, it would have not taken recourse to the same measures in the recent past, seen in the attack on the free press, the use of enforcement and investigative agencies to selectively target Opposition representatives, and draconian preventive detention laws to keep political prisoners, activists and journalists in jail without trial, including by the foisting of charges against them. The BJP’s authoritarian actions are one reason why its electoral representation in the 18th Lok Sabha has been trimmed to below the majority mark. The 2024 general election verdict might not have been a decisive rejection of the ruling party — as it was in 1977 — but it is no less significant as it empowers those in responsible positions in Indian democratic institutions to resist authoritarianism. A more thoroughgoing Opposition in Parliament that questions ruling party high-handedness; a vigilant judiciary that ensures justice to the many unjustly held dissidents; and a civil society that pushes for the withdrawal of draconian preventive detention laws and a ruling party that coheres with these — only such substantive steps will enable India to decisively move on from the dark period of the Emergency.

Free man: On the release of Julian Assange
Assange deserves his freedom, but his conviction is a setback for free speech

Julian Assange did what journalists do in free societies. He published troves of secret documents exposing the conduct of America’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and of its diplomacy. And for that, he was denied his freedom for more than 14 years. The hounding of Mr. Assange is a rare modern story of western democracies across the Atlantic, which take pride in their freedoms, working hand in hand to punish a journalist, publisher and whistle-blower. The WikiLeaks founder was first arrested in Britain in 2010 on a European warrant over sex crime allegations reported in Sweden — those charges were later dropped. While on bail, he took asylum in the Ecuador embassy in London, where he was holed up until 2019. He was kicked out of the embassy, and Britain rearrested him and put him in the high-security Belmarsh prison. After five years of life in jail, where he was largely confined to a solitary cell, the U.S. entered into a plea deal with Mr. Assange, that would set him free. The 52-year-old will plead guilty in the espionage case before a U.S. federal judge in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. Commonwealth territory in the western Pacific. According to U.S. and British media, Mr. Assange is expected to be sentenced for about five years, the time he has already served in Britain. He will then go to Australia, his native country.

While Mr. Assange’s release, which brings his years-long ordeal to an end and is a reprieve for those who have been fighting for him, is welcome news, the road towards this day was not smooth. The way he is being released still raises concerns. The classified documents WikiLeaks published were handed to Mr. Assange by Chelsea Manning, a U.S. military analyst. Ms. Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted of violating the Espionage Act. U.S. President Barack Obama commuted her sentence, allowing her to go free in 2017, but Mr. Assange remained unfree. The Trump Justice Department indicted him in 2019 on 18 counts. And the Biden administration continued to push for his extradition, which he fought doggedly. Last year, Australia’s Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese urged the U.S. to conclude the case, while lawmakers there passed a resolution this year calling for Mr. Assange to be allowed to return home. In recent years, the case has also become a public relations disaster for Joe Biden’s Democratic administration. So when Mr. Assange agreed to plead guilty, all sides found a deal to conclude the case that would get the U.S. a conviction which it had been seeking and Mr. Assange his freedom. Yet, the fact that Mr. Assange would be convicted for publishing state secrets is a setback for free speech. And the pursuit of a whistle-blower for over 14 years would remain a blot on western democracies, especially the U.K. and the U.S., forever.

“Good morning, Sir.”

“Good morning.”

“Sir, what’s the difference between shall and will?”

“Well, let’s take up shall first. In the first person singular and plural shall expresses future time. ‘I’ is the singular and ‘we’ the plural of the first person. Clear?”

“Yes. Sir.”

“I shall leave for Madras next week.

We shall meet him tomorrow.

We shall go there next Monday.

In all these shall is used to express future time. In the second and third persons, you use shall to express a command or promise. Examples:

You shall not steal.

She shall get a promotion.

You shall not go.

You shall obey him.

They shall come here.

He shall go.

The context will determine whether it is a command or a promise. Will indicates the future in the second and third persons.

He’ll come back.

They will do the work.

She will leave at 7 p.m.

In the first person, will expresses willingness or promise.

I’ll meet him.

We’ll do all that we can.

I’ll try.

“The distinction between shall and will in the first person is observed by very few writers and speakers these days. The contracted form of will, that is ‘ll’, is more frequently used. I’m talking only about affirmative and negative sentences. We’ll discuss later the use of shall and will in interrogative sentences.”

“Sir, we collect things. Do we collect people also? The other day you said, I could come and collect you around twelve.”

“It’s a good question. It’s true we collect things. Collect is also used colloquially in the sense of ‘call for’ ‘fetch’. It is not restricted to things and when you use collect with people, no disrespect is meant!”

“Thank you. Sir. What is the difference between estimate and estimation?”

Estimate is an approximate calculation. You prepare an estimate of a project. Estimation means ‘judgment or opinion.’

In my estimation, it is of no use.

He has fallen in my estimation.”

“What’s the meaning of zizz Sir?”

“It means ‘a short sleep.’ It’s used in informal contexts. You take a zizz or have a zizz. No, not now. I’m telling you how to use the word. Don’t start snoring now. You can almost hear the snore in the very word zizz. Cant you?”

“Yizz, Sir.”

“Well, you are ready for a zizz, goodbye.”

“Thank you, Sir. Goodbye.”

“Good morning, sir.”

“Good morning.”

“Sir, I shall like to know the difference between ‘talk to, and ‘talk back’.

“Well, before I go on to ‘talk to’, I’d like to say something about ‘shall like to’. You must say I’d like’ and not ‘I shall like’. ‘I shall like’ and ‘I will like’ are wrong. (I’d) stands for the contracted form of ‘would’ and it is ‘I’d like’ that is used in conversation and informal writing. ‘I should like’ is used generally on formal occasions.

I’ll give examples:

I’d like to meet him.

We’d like to go to a movie.

I should like to present the annual report now.

‘Would like’ and ‘should like’ are polite ways of making a statement. People who consider Fowler’s Modern English Usage as their Bible may disapprove of ‘I’d like’ and ‘we’d like’. Fowler felt that ‘I should like’ and ‘we should like’ must be treated as proper forms. However he himself added: But here ‘would’ has long been encroaching.... It is now more frequent, as common as should if not commoner. Fowler wrote this several years ago. Now would like has almost displaced should like.

“Let’s move on to ‘talk to’ and ‘talk back’. You talk to others when you want to tell them your views and find out their views. ‘To talk back’ is to reply discourteously or rudely.

When the boss asked the clerk to apologise, the clerk talked back to the astonishment of everyone.

I hope I am not talking over your head. Do you know what ‘talking over one’s head’ means?”

“Yes sir. I use it when I can’t follow what somebody says. But you aren’t talking over my head.”

‘I’m happy to hear that. By the way do you look so tired today? Anything wrong?’

“Sir, I came by walk today.”

“Did you? No wonder you are tired. You generally come by bus, don’t you? You travel by bus, by train, by car, by bicycle and so on. But when you walk the distance, you don’t say ‘I came by walk’. You can say ‘I came on foot’ or ‘I walked the distance’. Don’t say ‘I came on feet.’ It is ‘I came on foot‘. Also notice that in these contexts, there is no ‘a’ or ‘the’ before ‘train’ ‘car’ and so on.”

“What is gobbledegook, sir?”

“It is ‘writing, especially of officialdom that is pompous, wordy, involved and full of long latinised words’. The word is of American origin, but is used in Britain too. I’ll discuss this off and on.

I will give an example now:

“To reduce the risk of war and establish conditions of lasting peace requires the closer coordination in the employment of their joint resources to underpin these countries’ economics in such a manner as to permit the full maintenance of their social and material standards as well as to adequate development of the necessary measures“.

Do you understand this?”

“No, sir.”

“It is high-sounding with little sense in it. That’s gobbledegook. More about this later.”

“Thank you, sir. Goodbye.”

“Good morning, Sir.”

“Good morning”

“Sir, what’s the difference between ‘I can come tomorrow’ and ‘I could come tomorrow”?”

“Well, ‘I can come tomorrow’ is a definite statement. It means I will be able to come tomorrow. There is no vagueness or doubt about this. ‘I could come tomorrow’ means I would be able to come tomorrow if it’s okay by you. There is a tentativeness about this. ‘Could’ here is not used as the past of ‘can’. There is a notion of condition in this ‘could’. ‘I could do it’ means I would be able to do it if I am asked.

I could go there if necessary.

I could help him.

Sometimes the condition is made plain and sometimes it is implicit.

Let’s not discuss the use of ‘could’ as the past tense of can. Well take it up later.”

“Is it correct to use ‘the word ‘prepone’, sir?”

“No, there’s no such word. The opposite of ‘postpone’ is ‘advance’, The date of the meeting was advanced from the 25th of January to the 4th of January. A lot of people in our country use this word. We must have created it. Let’s leave this and go back to ‘can’ and ‘could’. I have written the following dialogue hoping that you will be able to find out the precise meaning of ‘can’ and ‘could’ from the context”

“May I come in?”

“Please do.”

“Could I use your phone?”

“By all means. Go ahead.”

“Hullo, Hullo. I am afraid there is something wrong with your phone.”

“Could be. It goes out of order from time to time. Could you complain to the Exchange from a shop? Ah, it’s ringing. Why don’t you try again?”

“Hullo, hullo! Could I speak to Mr. Hussain, please? Hullo Mr. Hussain! I am Krishnan speaking. You wanted to meet Dr. Anand, you remember? Well, we could meet him this afternoon. He lives in Saboornagar. I couid come and collect you around twelve. I cant hear you. There is a lot of disturbance........oh yes, that’s okay. We can have lunch at my place, Bye — Thank you for letting me use the phone.”

“You are welcome.”

“If you read the dialogue carefully, you will understand the different uses of ‘can’ and ‘could’. We’ll discuss later whatever isn’t clear to you.”

“Sir, how do you spell “immovable?”

“It is spelt ‘IMMOVABLE’. There is no e in it after v. Also let me tell you that both ‘unperturbable’ and ‘imperturbable’ are correct. ‘Unperturbable’ is recorded in recent American dictionaries. It is yet to be recorded in British dictionaries.”

“Sir, what is the meaning of the sentence “He’s battling the breeze”?

“Well, it’s American slang. ‘To bat (or shoot) the breeze’ means to converse idly about trivial matters’. It’s a vivid expression.”

“Thank you, sir. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”
