19 June : This title might be confusing to many as what I am trying to say. Is it about what the ex-president of India, Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam said about India that it will become a developed country in 2020? No. It has nothing to do with politics. This is about the World Champions India in cricket's newest and shortest format, Twenty20. India will start the World Cup Twenty20 as title favorites and defending champions. They are the best team on the paper. But games are not won on paper. It had to be won on the field. On given day, team that plays well can beat any other team.
Conditions in England will help fast bowlers and seamers; hence we can witness a fair contest between bat and ball. Going by the current form, every member of the Indian team is capable of winning matches on their own. But one should not count out the mental fatigue of the players. They have been playing round the year without any break. However they should get their act together in order to repeat the magic of last world cup. Their bowling looks like an area of concern as Zaheer Khan is injured and Ishant Sharma is not at his best. Onus will be on R.P.Singh to deliver following his super bowling in IPL. Men in Blue must blend together and should play as a team in order in defend their title as world champions.The Chief Minister, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has described the International Tribal Film Festival as unique and said that it will be held regularly in the coming years as well. Shri Chouhan said that this film festival will showcase tribal culture before the international community. He hoped that this will become a medium of exchange of cultural specialties of tribal communities of the world. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan was addressing the inaugural function of International Film Festival here today at Ravindra Bhawan. The film festival has been organised by Tribal Welfare Department and its creative cell 'Vanya'. As many as 40 countries including Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Egypt etc are taking part in it.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that since time immemorial tribals have been paying the price of the so-called civilised society's requirements. Shri Chouhan said now the time has come to give tribals their rights. Shri Chouhan said that Madhya Pradesh is leading in the implementation of Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition to Forest Rights) Act 2006.
