166. Mankind's first mission to 'touch' the Sun may have panned out differently had it not been for Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, whose intervention made it possible for a research paper proposing the existence of solar wind to get published 60 years ago.The unprecedented sun-skimming probe that lifted off today from the US is set to study the 'solar winds' proposed in the paper by Dr Eugene Newman Parker, who has now become the first living scientist to have mission named after him.NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which will fly closer to the Sun that any other spacecraft has attempted before is set to explore the corona, a region of the Sun only seen from Earth when the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright face during total solar eclipses.Back in 1958, when the 31-year-old Parker suggested that the charged particles streamed continuously from the Sun and fill up the space, the scientific community refused to believe him. The prevailing opinion at the time was that the space was total vacuum."When he submitted his paper detailing his theory to the Astrophysical Journal, the most prominent research journal of the field, it was rejected twice by two different reviewers who were asked to provide opinions," Dibyendu Nandi, an associate professor at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, told PTI."The Senior Editor of the Astrophysical Journal intervened and overruled the reviewers and allowed the idea to be published. That Editor was the Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar," said Nandi, who is also the chairman of the Working Group on Solar-Stellar Environments of the International Astronomical Union (IAU)."Chandra, as he was popularly known, is another astrophysicist with his name tagged to a space mission, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory," Nandi said.Chandrasekhar was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics with William A Fowler for studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars.Perhaps the incident shaped how Parker perceived the research work of budding Indian scientists."My PhD research supported an alternate theory for the Sun's magnetic cycle, different from a theory that had been proposed earlier by Parker," Nandi recalls."Eugene Parker had the vision to recognise the possibilities discussed in my thesis, and the magnanimity to write a glowing review of a thesis for an unknown student from a far away country - a PhD thesis that contradicted one of his own theories," he said."I have learnt a very important lesson of my professional scientific career from him: to be generous to the ideas of others, as long as they are not obviously wrong, and even if they contradict my own personal views," he said.A mission like Parker Solar Probe has been a dream of scientists for decades, but only recently has the required technology - like the heat shield, solar array cooling system, and fault management system - been available to make such a mission a reality.The car-sized spacecraft will travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere, about four million miles from its surface - and more than seven times closer than any spacecraft has come before, thanks to its innovative Thermal Protection System.The USD 1.5 billion mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona.It will make 24 passes through the corona during its seven-year mission. The mission will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionise our understanding of the corona and how processes there ultimately affect near-Earth space.
167. What is to be done about the four million people in Assam who failed to get into the draft list of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) that aims to determine who are legal citizens? The NRC will hold another round of counting, giving those missing from the draft list a second chance to prove their citizenship. But even if the NRC blacklist halves to only two million people, what next?Bangladesh will refuse to accept them. Keeping them permanently in refugee camps would be a monumental tragedy and probably impractical. The best solution is to resettle them in other Indian states that are short of farm labour, and hence willing to receive workers.As a libertarian, I instinctively favour the free movement of people. I share the fear of critics that the NRC process will throw out many genuine Indians who happen to be Bengali-speaking or Muslims. In a semi-literate country, lack of documentary evidence is common.The law says that anybody from Bangladesh who entered until 1971 will be deemed Indian, but later arrivals will be deemed foreigners. So, millions who came after 1971 will be thrown out, even if they have worked and lived in India for decades. That would be a humanitarian debacle. A large country like India should be willing to absorb an inflow from neighbours that is a negligible proportion of the Indian population of 1,300 million.Problem: the inflow is far from negligible as a proportion of Assam’s population of 32 million. Muslims constituted over 34% of Assam’s population in 2011, up from 30% in 2001, and have become a majority in some border districts. One cannot ignore communities fearful of being overwhelmed and converted into a minority by newcomers.Tripura historically had a tribal majority, but now has a Bengali majority thanks to migration. In Sikkim, Nepali migrants overwhelmed the local tribal population and became the political masters. These examples have made the rest of the northeast paranoid about being overwhelmed by newcomers.Bhutan, supposedly the land of Gross National Happiness, has thrown out lakhs of Nepali settlers for fear of being overwhelmed. Meghalaya seeks to expel Nepalis too. Nagaland is determined to keep out outsiders.In theory, people should be free to travel, own land and vote in any part of their nation. Yet nationbuilding is still a work in progress in India. In 1947 Churchill declared that India was just a geographical entity and was no more a country than the equator. Since 1947, India has proved Churchill almost entirely wrong by creating a unity across territories that was never guaranteed. But this required delicate political handling, and the creation of exceptions in sensitive areas.That sensitivity is required for any peaceful humanitarian settlement of issues in the northeast. Absorbing Bangladeshi migrants should not be a problem for a large country like India, but is a problem for small regions in the northeast fearful of being overwhelmed.One answer is to resettle immigrants in other states. Although unemployment is a problem, especially for the educated, farmers everywhere complain of an acute labour shortage. Once, Biharis migrated to labour-scarce states as farm workers, but today agricultural labour is scarce even in Bihar, so harvester combines have entered the state. Construction companies also complain of scarce labour.Traditionally, a lot of agricultural and construction work was done by women. But since 2004, more than 40 million women have withdrawn from the workforce. Some are studying in school or college, but most stay at home because their family incomes have risen, and withdrawal from manual work improves their social status. Families whose women work in the fields are looked down upon, and do not attract desirable husbands for their girls. This has induced mass withdrawal of women from manual occupations like agriculture and construction.This creates a favourable climate to resettle illegal immigrants in areas with scarce farm labour. The BJP will oppose this tooth and nail: it sees the immigrants as undesirable Muslim intruders to be expelled wherever they are found. Non-BJP parties will, hopefully, band together to change that policy.Many village communities in the rest of India will be suspicious of immigrants. Yet migrants from Odisha and Bihar have long been able to find jobs in south India and Punjab. Bangladeshi migrants will more easily move to areas where they have brethren. Clusters of immigrants can be created in other states, but the BJP will oppose them.These are formidable practical difficulties. But they are perhaps no more formidable than corralling millions of immigrants into refugee camps and keeping them there.
168. By Julian LeeThe first U.S. sanctions have been reimposed on Iran with little sign of either side softening its position. Curbs on oil exports will follow in early November and the effect will be bigger and swifter than last time around. Oil forecasters don't seem to have grasped that yet.There’s no doubt that President Donald Trump will be tougher on Iran than Barack Obama was, with no gradual ratcheting-up of pressure. Importers are expected to have tapered off oil purchases by Nov. 5, when the curbs come into effect.Any waivers granted to buyers will still require much bigger cuts than they did last time, when a 20 percent reduction every six months was enough to win exemption from retaliation. And this time, Iran's exports of condensates, a light form of crude extracted from gas fields, will be covered by the sanctions.It doesn't matter that European governments oppose Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Politicians and bureaucrats may work on "the continuation of Iran’s exports of oil and gas," but it’s companies, not governments, that buy Iran’s oil. The threat of exclusion from the U.S. market and banking system is enough to stop them buying it, international shipping companies from moving it and insurers from covering that trade.
