<p>Decades after inspiring a best-selling novel that brought readers into slums near Kolkata, 86-year-old ascetic Gaston Dayanand is still working for India's poorest.</p>

<p>His life helping people in the mega-slums of Pilkhana formed the plot of Dominique Lapierre's 1985 book "The City of Joy", which was later turned into a Patrick Swayze movie.</p>

<p>Born in 1937 to a Swiss working-class family in Geneva, Brother Gaston said he remembered deciding at six years of age to dedicate his life "to Christ and the poor".</p>

<p>"I never wanted to be a priest," the brother of the Prado congregation told AFP at the Inter-Religious Centre of Development (ICOD), an NGO he co-founded in Gohalopata, a village 75 kilometres (45 miles) southwest of Kolkata.</p>

<p>"The church would never have let me live in a slum with the poor, but my life was about sharing with the poorest."</p>

<p>A trained nurse, Brother Gaston arrived in India in 1972 to work with a French priest in a small self-help centre in Pilkhana.</p>

<p>"It was the biggest slum in India at the time, they said in the world!"</p>

<p>Having arrived on a tuk-tuk, he surprised the local residents by entering on foot.</p>

<p>"I didn't want to enter a place where there are so many poor people, on a rickshaw, like a rich person," he said.</p>

<p>"I went to places where there were no doctors, no non-governmental organisations, no Christians. That is to say, places that were completely abandoned."</p>

<h2><strong>'Chicago on the Ganges'</strong></h2>

<p>One day in 1981, Brother Gaston said he received a visit from Dominique Lapierre, who was "sent by Mother Teresa".</p>

<p>The well-known French author, who wanted to write a novel "about the poor", convinced the ascetic of his sincerity.</p>

<p>The two men became friends.</p>

<p>Lapierre, who died last December, described Brother Gaston as "one of the 'Lights of the World' whose epic of love and sharing I had the honour of recounting in my book 'The City of Joy'."</p>

<p>Translated throughout the world, Lapierre's novel, published in 1985, sold several million copies.</p>

<p>"He financed all my organisations at a rate of $3 million a year, almost all his royalties, for almost 30 years," Brother Gaston said.</p>

<p>But the film adaptation of the novel, in which Swayze plays a fictional doctor, displeased him: "I frankly hated this film. 'The City of Joy' has become 'Chicago on the Ganges'."</p>

<h2><strong>Surrounded by leprosy</strong></h2>

<p>At the time of Lapierre's visit, Mother Teresa was receiving medicine from all over the world.</p>

<p>She donated large quantities to the self-help centre, which Brother Gaston was able to use.</p>

<p>He trained nurses and established a dispensary.</p>

<p>"I had the medicine, I didn't need anything else," he said.</p>

<p>"We quickly had more than 60,000 patients the first year, 100,000 the second. Three years later, we had a small hospital."</p>

<p>As soon as he arrived in India, he decided to adopt the nationality.</p>

<p>"It took 20 years, of course," he said.</p>

<p>Brother Gaston was born with the surname Grandjean.</p>

<p>In India, he chose the surname "Dayanand", meaning "blessed (ananda) of mercy (daya)".</p>

<p>He worked for a long time with Mother Teresa's brothers caring for people suffering from leprosy in Pilkhana.</p>

<p>"I stayed for 18 years, surrounded by 500 lepers, in a very small room," he said.</p>

<p>Abdul Wohab, a 74-year-old social worker, said: "Gaston is a saint."</p>

<h2><strong>'A board to sleep on'</strong></h2>

<p>Now white-haired and confined to a wheelchair, Brother Gaston is still trying to help those in need in the northeastern province of West Bengal.</p>

<p>Of the 12 NGOs he founded since moving to India, six are still active, including the ICOD, which has taken in 81 people of all faiths, including orphans and the elderly, as well as those suffering from disabilities and mental health problems.</p>

<p>Brother Gaston said he spends "three-quarters of (his) days meditating" on his bed, facing Christ.</p>

<p>"I had never had anything else but a board to sleep on. Now I live like a bourgeois in a big bed," he said.</p>

<p>"But it's not me who wanted it," he added with a laugh.</p>

<p>"The worst part is that I accept it."</p>

<p>The ICOD's co-founder and director, Mamata Gosh, nicknamed "Gopa", watches over the man who taught her to be a nurse 25 years ago.</p>

<p>"Before him, I didn't know anything," the 43-year-old told AFP.</p>

<p>"He is my spiritual father."</p>

<p>Brother Gaston's day begins at 5:00 am with three hours of prayer, in front of a reproduction of the Shroud of Turin overhanging an Aum, the symbol of Hinduism, in his tiny oratory adjoining his room.</p>

<p>Dressed all in white and barefoot, he sits in his electric wheelchair and visits each of the residents of the thatched hamlet, then returns to his room in the late morning.</p>

<p>On his bedside table sits a Bible, a crucifix, his glasses and an old laptop that he uses to keep in touch with his NGO's donors.</p>

<p>"I will earn my bread until the last day of my life," he said.</p>

<p>Since his re-election in 2022, President Macron of France has been facing severe protests. The primary reason for these continued protests is the change he has brought in the French Pension System that require people to work for two more years, before they can start earning their state pension. While there is an economic argument for these reforms, it seems to have disturbed an inherent social contract across the generations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Current social security frameworks in many of the developed nations are built on a social contract where those of working age pay their dues so that retired people can receive their retirement benefits (including pension and healthcare). This system seems to have been working till now, but not more. With development, life expectancy has increased across the world, and so have the costs of social security.</p>

<p>Coupled with an aging population, this has created a giant mismatch in the pension fund and its future liabilities. Two obvious options include either increase in funds for pension, and the other being cut in benefits. Without a significant rise in productivity and real incomes, taxing more for pension pots is extremely difficult. And thus, governments across the developing world are contemplating real cuts to the benefits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Like many other countries, France has attempted to approach this issue by primarily cutting the benefits by making people work for more years, and hence reduction in actual pension benefits. The issue of inadequacy of pension has played out even earlier in Japan, where most people are forced to work till their late sixties or early seventies, or look for alternative/part-time employment after retirement, as the pension payments are simply inadequate to survive.</p>

<p>However, perceived lower productivity and thus lesser acceptance of older people into the workforce further the struggle of retirees. On the other side, Spain plans to reduce its pension shortfall by raising additional funds, rather than cutting benefits. And, it plans to fund this by making younger people pay more, along with companies. This solution has also the potential to create tension in an intergenerational contract.</p>

<p>This is an important cautionary tale for India and points to the need for more responsible and prudent financial decisions. This is despite the fact that most Indians don’t have any or enough social security provisions from the government. The Indian government, quite prudently, shifted away from a defined benefit pension for public sector workers, to a defined contribution framework in 2004. However, we have seen recent instances where many of the state governments have started going back to a defined benefit structure, and that raises alarm bells regarding a potential pension crisis later.</p>

<p>This month, Himachal Pradesh is going back to the defined contribution scheme, while Punjab, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand have already reverted to it. While, unlike OECD countries, India has a relatively younger population along with a growing economy, these pension commitments still put a very large burden on our economy, and more importantly on future generations.</p>

<p>While governments across the world continue to struggle with various ways of ensuring stable and reasonable social security provisions, there is also a note of caution for individuals. For centuries, families have remained the strongest unit in terms of individual social security. However, with rising incomes along with welfare states, increasingly more and more people started relying on governments for their education, healthcare, and post-retirement incomes. This is particularly the case in much of the developed world. However, global uncertainties and market volatilities have once again revealed the cost of such dependence, let alone the intergenerational tensions, as we see in much of the Western world.</p>

<p>Traditional responsibilities of families have been gradually taken over by ‘excessive’ welfare states. However, the challenges in doing so are monumental as many of those states now realise. For instance, last year, the Confederation of German Employers’ Association warned the government about the dire state of the country’s pension system and argued it to be “on the verge of collapse” without bold reforms. The case is not very much different in far richer Switzerland, where even after reforms, the pension shortfall was estimated at USD 734 Billion in 2022, which is around 90% of Switzerland’s GDP.</p>

<p>For India, the government’s ability to raise additional funds is often limited by its continued fiscal deficit as well as current account deficits and thus committing the money in the future, without prudent management, could become a monumental mistake. While a vocal and powerful, but very small section, primarily public sector employees, might be seeking to turn the state towards defined contribution pensions, governments across the board must resist.<br />

On the other side, Spain plans to reduce its pension shortfall by raising additional funds, rather than cutting benefits. And, it plans to fund this by making younger people pay more, along with companies. This solution has also the potential to create tension in an intergenerational contract. Watch | Who was behind the 2022 clashes in Leicester? × This is an important cautionary tale for India and points to the need for more responsible and prudent financial decisions. This is despite the fact that most Indians don’t have any or enough social security provisions from the government. The Indian government, quite prudently, shifted away from a defined benefit pension for public sector workers, to a defined contribution framework in 2004. However, we have seen recent instances where many of the state governments have started going back to a defined benefit structure, and that raises alarm bells regarding a potential pension crisis later. This month, Himachal Pradesh is going back to the defined contribution scheme, while Punjab, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand have already reverted to it. While, unlike OECD countries, India has a relatively younger population along with a growing economy, these pension commitments still put a very large burden on our economy, and more importantly on future generations. While governments across the world continue to struggle with various ways of ensuring stable and reasonable social security provisions, there is also a note of caution for individuals. For centuries, families have remained the strongest unit in terms of individual social security. However, with rising incomes along with welfare states, increasingly more and more people started relying on governments for their education, healthcare, and post-retirement incomes. This is particularly the case in much of the developed world. However, global uncertainties and market volatilities have once again revealed the cost of such dependence, let alone the intergenerational tensions, as we see in much of the Western world. Traditional responsibilities of families have been gradually taken over by ‘excessive’ welfare states. However, the challenges in doing so are monumental as many of those states now realise. For instance, last year, the Confederation of German Employers’ Association warned the government about the dire state of the country’s pension system and argued it to be “on the verge of collapse” without bold reforms. The case is not very much different in far richer Switzerland, where even after reforms, the pension shortfall was estimated at USD 734 Billion in 2022, which is around 90% of Switzerland’s GDP. For India, the government’s ability to raise additional funds is often limited by its continued fiscal deficit as well as current account deficits and thus committing the money in the future, without prudent management, could become a monumental mistake. While a vocal and powerful, but very small section, primarily public sector employees, might be seeking to turn the state towards defined contribution pensions, governments across the board must resist.

Ticking crisis of pension: India needs to show extreme caution

The monsoon season in India is expected to generate 96% of average rainfall, according to the weather department's forecast. This is encouraging for the agrarian economy, which is experiencing a hot summer and the potential advent of El Nino weather conditions.

<p>In another major setback to&nbsp;the ambitious&nbsp;Project Cheetah, two more cubs lost their lives&nbsp;inside&nbsp;Kuno National Park&nbsp;in the Sheopur district of Madhya Pradesh in central India. The cubs died just two days after another cub had lost his life.</p>

<p>The increasing deaths of cheetahs in the Kuno National Park have escalated worries over Project Cheetah's future in India. The cubs were found to be weak, underweight and poorly hydrated, said officials.<br />
<br />
Speaking about their deaths, South African wildlife expert Vincent van der Merwe said that there will be an increase in the mortality rate of these cheetahs in the coming months amid their reintroduction, PTI reported.<br />
<br />
The expert added that there are chances of cheetahs' mortality rate increasing by 50 per cent in the first year. “We anticipate a 50 per cent mortality in the first year, we know that only 10 are going to survive the initial release period. There's going to be more than enough prey for them,” he added.</p>

<p>According to the expert, there will be more deaths as the big cats will make attempts to establish territories and in these efforts, they will encounter tigers and leopards inside the national park.<br />
<br />
He further added that the recent deaths of cheetahs have occurred within the acceptable range. However, he added that the killing of female cheetahs by males during mating was uncalled for.</p>

<h2><strong>What can India do to save cheetahs?</strong></h2>

<p>The wildlife expert stated that the habitats should be fenced so that access to resources by other animals can be controlled and the overall threat to these cheetahs can be reduced.<br />
<br />
He added that the reintroduction of cheetahs has never been successful in an unfenced reserve. Merwe further said that at least two to three cheetahs should be brought to Mukundra Hills where they can breed.<br />
<br />
"Mukundra Hills is fully fenced. We know that cheetahs will do very well there. The only problem is that it's not fully stocked at the moment. So you'll have to bring in some black buck and chinkara. And when the fencing is completed at Nauradehi and Gandhisagar, we will have three fenced reserves and then we are absolutely winning," he added.</p>

"That's where you can expect mortality due to hunting injury.

US Defence Secretary Austin and German Defence Minister Pistorius to visit India

<p>India's Supreme Court on Friday quashed a plea that sought directions from the top court that the inauguration of the new Indian Parliament building should be done by the President of India Draupadi Murmu instead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bench consisting of Justices JK Maheshwari and PS Narasimha declined to entertain the Public Interest Litigation which was filed by petitioner Advocate CR Jaya Sukin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Giving argument to the petitioner, Justice Narasimha said "We don't understand why you come with such petitions...we're not interested in entertaining it under Article 32".</p>

<p>"How is Article 79 related to the inauguration?", Justice Maheshwari raised question. "President is the head of the parliament, he should open the building. Executive head is the only head who should open....", the petitioner submitted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The bench was not convinced by the arguments put forth by the petitioner and just as it was about to decline the pleas, the petitioner requested permission to withdraw it.</p>

<p>However, Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta said that the pleas must not be allowed to withdraw as doing that will lead to the petitioner filing the same petition in the High Court.</p>
