An Indian minister has pledged to wear only slip-on shoes after a young man was shown tying his laces in public.

Gauri Shankar Bisen, a minister in Madhya Pradesh state, admitted he had made a mistake and apologised.

Mr Bisen, who was attending an event at Chhindwara, said doctors had advised him not to bend forwards and the son of a family friend had tied his laces.

Mr Bisen accused rival politicians of playing the caste card by wrongly saying the boy was of a local tribe.

Hernia

After television channels showed footage of the shoe-tying, Mr Bisen said two sons of a friend had accompanied him to the function.

"I was sitting on the dais with my shoelaces untied. The boys noticed it and one of them rushed to me and tied the laces.

"The boy knew that I have had a bypass surgery recently and another hernia operation. Doctors have advised me not to bend down too much."

He added: "I admit it was my mistake and I am sorry for it. I swear that from now onwards, I will not wear any shoes with laces.

"I have specially brought from Pune six pairs of shoes without laces."

He accused the state opposition Congress party of politicising the issue and "lying" that the boy belonged to a tribal community.

"He doesn't, he is... from the same caste as me. We have family relations," Mr Bisen said.

Congress minister Kamal Nath, who was at the event, said the shoe-tying was "the most obnoxious episode" he had seen in 31 years of representing his constituency.

There are fears the number of casualties could rise At least 16 people have been killed in a stampede in the northern Indian holy town of Haridwar, officials say.

About 50 others were injured as devotees gathered to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the founder of a Hindu sect.

Thousands have been attending the ceremony for Sri Ram Sharma, who founded the Gayatri Parivar sect.

Reports said the number of casualties could rise. Television footage showed injured people being taken to hospital.

"More worshippers turned up than the place could accommodate and so the stampede occurred," a senior local official, D Santhel Pandiyan, told the AFP news agency.

Many women and children are reported to be among the dead and injured.

Hemant Sahu, who works for the event organisers, told AFP: "When the big ritual was going on, too many people rushed forward to make their offerings to the holy fire and the crowd got out of control."

Reports said a number of people fell but other pilgrims continued to push.

Haridwar, 173km (107 miles) north of Delhi, is a temple-filled town where the Ganges emerges from the Himalayan mountains and is considered sacred by Hindus.

The huge numbers attending religious festivals in India make stampedes a frequent risk.

A stampede at a festival in the southern state of Kerala in January killed more than 100 people.

Manufacturing output is of paramount importance for India's economic welfare India's cabinet has approved a major new policy to develop national manufacturing.

The policy aims to create a 100 million jobs in the next 10 years and allows for a series of special new zones to support manufacturing growth.

At the moment, that sector only accounts for about 16% of the country's gross domestic product.

That has barely changed in the last three decades and is seen as well below India's potential.

It is also far lower than other Asian countries at a similar level of development.

India has done an impressive job in developing hi-tech and service sector industries - which have given new opportunities to its well-educated middle class.

But that is little comfort to a growing number of rural unemployed who have at best a basic education and few opportunities for work beyond agriculture.

Now India is trying to learn from China - with an ambitious plan which aims to boost manufacturing and deliver factory jobs.

Cutting red tape

The target is for manufacturing to account for a quarter of GDP by 2022 - creating 100 million new jobs.

The government also plans to train the young rural generation so they can take advantage of these jobs.

Special economic zones will be set up - again, following China's model. Seven sites have already been identified.

Their development will be led by the private sector. They are described as self-governing townships.

Companies using the sites will be offered tax incentives.

One of the obstacles for manufacturers in the past has been endless government bureaucracy and red tape. This too will be streamlined.

There is no doubt that India desperately needs a more vibrant manufacturing sector to even out its growth and absorb future workers.

The test will be how successfully this plan translates from paper to the real world.

Scene of the bridge collapse in Bijonbari, Darjeeling, West Bengal, on 23 October 2011

The bridge is thought to have been weakened by an earthquake that shook the region in September At least 32 people have died and 132 injured after a bridge collapsed at a political event in India's tea-producing region of Darjeeling.

More than 150 villagers were standing on the bridge for talks by local separatist leaders on Saturday night when it collapsed.

Officials say the victims fell at least 70ft (21m) into the fast-flowing Rangeet Khola river.

The army, fire brigade and police helped residents in the rescue effort.

Up to 60 people were rescued on Saturday night, but the search on Sunday was mainly focused on areas down river, reports say.

Government help

People had gathered in the village of Bijonbari, 30km (20miles) from Darjeeling, to listen to speeches by leaders of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) party.

The GJM is fighting for a separate state for the tea-producing Darjeeling hills.

"A cultural programme was being held on one side of the bridge, while a meeting was being held on the other," GJM General Secretary Roshan Giri said.

"Too many people were standing on it when it collapsed and they fell into the river below."

Darjeeling District Magistrate Soumitra Mohan said on Sunday that the death toll had reached 32, with 132 wounded.

At least six children are among the casualties.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said her government would do "everything it can" to help the victims and their families.

The bridge was reportedly built in 1942, and is thought to have been weakened by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that shook north-eastern India, Nepal and Tibet in September.

Bid to save India magician's home

PC Sorcar was known for his trademark plumed turban Magicians in Bangladesh are up in arms against a decision to demolish the ancestral home of legendary Indian magician PC Sorcar.

They have been holding protests demanding that the government protect the house, turn it into a museum and establish a school of magic there.

They say this would be a fitting tribute to one of the greatest magicians of all time.

PC Sorcar died of heart attack while performing in Japan in 1971.

His ancestral home used to be known as Jadu Bhaban in Bengali, meaning a magic house. That magic house is about to disappear - not by any trick, but because developers want to build a block of flats in its place.

PC Sorcar was born there about 100 years ago, in what was then British India.

When the sub-continent was divided into India, Pakistan and East Pakistan - which was later to become Bangladesh - Sorcar's family left for India.

Family tradition

It is a part of the country's cultural heritage, says prominent magician Moinul Khan.

"We are proud of this man, he had a vision to make an institute of conjury," he said. "So we want to protect this house so we can make an institute over there and we can promote the magic."

Magicians have also been gathering support for their campaign by holding magic shows around Bangladesh.

Sorcar, considered the father of modern Indian magic, was a seventh-generation magician.

He was known for his spectacular stage sets and costumes, particularly his "Maharaja robe" and plumed turban.

Some of his specialities included the famous Indian rope trick and the flying carpet.

His son PC Sorcar Jr is continuing the family tradition.

NEW DELHI | Wed Oct 5, 2011 4:50am EDT

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai sought on Wednesday to ease concern in Pakistan about a key agreement with India, saying it will not affect relations with Islamabad.

Pakistan, its ties with powerful ally the United States heavily strained, is looking increasingly isolated after rival India signed a wide-ranging agreement with neighboring Afghanistan.

"Pakistan is our twin brother, India is a great friend. The agreement we signed with our friend will not affect our brother," Karzai said in a speech in New Delhi.

"This strategic partnership ... is not directed against any country ... this strategic partnership is to support Afghanistan."

On a two-day visit to New Delhi, Karzai and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sealed an agreement on Tuesday that spanned closer political ties to fighting terrorism.

It signals a formal tightening of links that may spark Pakistani concerns India is increasingly competing for leverage in Afghanistan.

The agreement with India is one of several being negotiated by Kabul, including one with the United States, that are part of an Afghan bid for greater security as NATO troops head home.
