National supports practical initiatives that

INTERNET PARTY
1. Name that one policy of your party that
will swing the elections in your favour?
Free tertiary education and universal
allowances is fundamental to a future where
our economic growth is achieved through
innovation, not the limited natural resources
of New Zealand. Students should not have to
borrow to live, this betrays the social contract
which the previous generation of New
Zealanders took for granted. We should also
progressively write-off existing student loan
debt, and increase apprenticeships.
2. The Herald DigiPoll shows that New
Zealanders feel an increased fear of
unavailability of employment as well as
getting burgled. What does your party
intend to do to assure people of safety and
security? What do you have to offer to the
migrant community?
Internet MANA sets a national goal of full
employment New Zealand unemployment
has doubled since National came to power
and even the current rate of 5.6% is nothing
to be proud of.

The youth of Chinmaya Mission NZ, in
association with Kaysons and Relianz

Grand Trivia Night. It is an annual charity
fundraiser to ensure the continuation
of the learning process, put together
by enigmatic quiz masters. This event
will comprise a fun-filled night with six
exciting rounds of quizzing, a delicious
three-course meal, and a chance to win
great prizes.
The youth wing of Chinmaya Mission
NZ, CHYK, is given the opportunity
to organize, execute, participate and
showcase their skills via this event. The
proceeds will be dedicated to assist the
development of the Missions work in
Auckland. You can join the Mission
in supporting the next generation and

to ensure the passing of wisdom of Vedic
culture to the younger minds. Arrive in

The two countries signed a partnership

cooperation. Japan agreed to extend technical
and financial support to the proposed bullet

A 3,300-word Tokyo Declaration summed
up the new warmth in India-Japan ties, with
references to their convergent global interests,
a new era of cooperation in military equipment
and technology, shared interests in the security
of maritime and cyber domains, as well as
closer and stronger strategic partnership.
Modi said Japan was among Indias closest
and most reliable partners. He promised
a fast-track channel for Japanese investors.
We have to fundamentally improve our ties
in every field to elevate our relationship into a
special strategic partnership.
Modi said Japan will play an increasingly
important role in Indias economic
transformation. The Indian prime minister
also said that the two countries intended to
give a new thrust to their defence cooperation
given our shared interest in peace and
stability and maritime security.

Editorial
omplement rather than compete, said Prabha Govindasamy, one of the directors at Giles Brooker Education, as I spoke to her with regard to the hugely successful collaborative project between New Zealand and India that earned a group
of 15 Kiwi students the Prime Ministers Scholarship for Asia, worth a whopping
sum of $86,000. (Turn to page 28 for details).
Ever since I heard these words, they have been resonating in my ears. Really,
what a novel approach to life - quite contrarian to our face-paced living style. In
fact, these words made me pause and ponder awhile. Yes, 45 students participated
in this educational project and only 15 were ultimately selected. But, it can still
be categorised as collaborative learning experience.
These 15 lucky students will have an opportunity to share notes and discuss the
outcomes before any decisive action is taken. That can be so reassuring. Team
work is about cooperation; it is about giving each member a chance to have a say.
It is these individual contributions that bring out the richness of a collective. In
the same vein, a political party is also a collective, comprised of representatives
of a specific demography.
Arent the poll pundits predicting that a coalition government will come to power
at the 2014 general election? If there is some truth in their prediction, NZ is truly
headed towards an inclusive governance system that would have representation
of a varied demography.
What would perhaps add value to their collective decision-making process is
the fact that every political party in recent times has ensured adequate ethnic
community representation. There are Kiwi-Indian candidates in every party list,
often at a reasonably higher rank which projects their possibility of becoming
members of Parliament. The dynamics of such collaboration promise interesting
unfolding of events, culminating in the announcement of our next Prime Minister
elect. However, the fact remains that inclusivity forms the guiding light of each
of these collectives. And we live in hope.
-Paula Ray
Letters to the ed
Dear editor,
I have been in New Zealand for one year now
and I have observed Indian Weekender as the
best community newspaper in Auckland. As
compared to other community newspapers I
have seen, Indian Weekender is much more
educational and has a good presentation. The
way your newspaper covers different festivals
and community events, make it more lively
and vibrant. There is a lot of stuff published
keeping in mind the community and migrants.
Ankur Lakahnpal

Dear editor,
It gives me immense pleasure to write about
your esteemed newspaper, Indian Weekender.
I have been a regular reader of your newspaper
and I must congratulate you and your team
for the effort to come up with so much
information. Im indeed very thankful to you
for publishing my article on Ganesh Chaturthi.
The page was very colourful and looked
beautiful. The festivity of the season was well
portrayed. Wishing you and your team the
very best of luck.

Rahane shines
as India seals
ODI series
Ajinkya Rahanes maiden century and his
century-run stand with Shikhar Dhawan powered
India to a comprehensive nine-wicket win over
England in the fourth ODI in Birmingham,
England this week and also sealed the series 3-0
with still a match to go.
The win will help India ease the pains of the
humiliating 1-3 loss in the Test series.
The last time India played a one-day
international at Birmingham, they lifted the ICC
Champions Trophy 2013.
Little over a year later, they once again made
Edgbaston their happy hunting ground beating
England comprehensively - the same opposition
they faced in the CT final, by nine wickets for
their first bilateral series win in the country in
over two decades.
In what turned out to be a completely onesided affair, England were outplayed hands
down. Their batting was a repeat of the sorry tale
from the previous two ODIs as yet again they
were bowled out cheaply.
India, on the other hand, were as clinical as as
they could have been. Not only did they restrict
their opposition to a below-par total, but also
achieved it with more than 19 overs to spare.
Ajinkya Rahanes maiden ODI ton, followed
by Shikhar Dhawans return to form with an
unbeaten 97 (11x4, 4x6), ensured India lived
up to their reputation as the worlds number
one side.

brief. Armed with their Resene test pot and sari,
they were asked (hypothetically) to dress Cate

Technical excellence was paramount, the timeline
was tight, and the stakes were high: Who would
show at Fashion Week? Who would catch the eye
of editors? And ultimately: Who would travel to

The Lakme India Fashion Week, one of the biggest fashion events in India, showcased the festive winter collection with all glitz and glamour. The show dazzled
with collections of many a well-known designer. Several celebrities from B-Town walked the ramp, displaying creations of different designers. These include Manish Malhotra, Masaba Gupta, Shantanu and Nikhil, among others.
With an array of futuristic and creative looks swaying down the ramp, Lakme Fashion Week lived up to its much-celebrated glory.

The Malayali community of Auckland got together at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre
to usher in the harvest festival
Onavillu, Kazhchakkula. Onapottan, Atthachamayam and the likes add flavour to the festivity.
The Auckland Malayali community celebrated
Onam with a lot of enthusiasm and devotion, bringing out the essence of the festival by following the
traditions and customs just as they are in Kerala. The
event started with Sadhya, the Onam feast, which
comprised of a variety of traditional sweets and savouries along with the meal. The evening proceeded
with a variety of cultural programmes, each bringing
out the spirit of Kerala that emotionally transported
most of the audience present at the venue back to
their home country.
Close to the tradition do try and celebrate the festival
keeping the traditional and rituals alive.
