Businessman Bhat has spent Rs 30 lakh from his pocket to plant 1,45,000 trees; he aims to plant 20,000 trees every year.
Abdul Hameed Bhat digging pits and planting conifer saplings.
Srinagar:
About nine years ago, he single-handedly began planting trees on barren hillocks which, till a couple of decades ago, used to be full of beautiful clusters of deodar or Himalayan cedar and conifer trees.
Abdul Hameed Bhat, 51, a businessman, has himself planted or helped volunteers in planting as many as 1,45,000 trees, mostly pine, in different parts of the Kashmir valley spending Rs 30 lakh from his own pocket.
“I don’t get any financial help from government or any other source nor do I run any NGO. It is an effort made at personal level,” he said, calling it a “heart mission” rooted in his love for environment.
Mr Bhat’s passion began in 2009 when he started taking care of dozens of pine trees planted by the social forestry department on the pavements outside his office in Srinagar’s Barzulla area but were left unattended.
As a promotion activity in his auto business, he started gifting saplings to clients in place of calendars, diaries and other stationery items.
Last Sunday, Mr Bhat, a school dropout who has made it big in business, was joined by a large group of volunteers, including journalists and members of a football club, to plant over 1,000 pine trees on a knoll at Sutaharan in central district of Budgam. Sitting in the lap of Pirpanjal Range, Sutaharan like many other Valley areas has witnessed large-scale deforestation mainly during the three-decade old armed conflict in Kashmir.
“There are many things we can do to preserve and protect our environment if we want to preserve and protect life on Earth and leave behind something good for our coming generations,” he told this correspondent after digging about 100 holes and planting saplings in them.
Mr Bhat said that it pains him to see deforestation across Kashmir and he took a “conscious decision” to do his bit to rectify the wrong.
“I know the damage done to our woods over the years is huge and no single effort is likely to have a great impact of reparation. But I thought whatever I can, I must do,” he said.
Relentlessly dedicated to restoring nature, Mr Bhat who is now known to many people in Kashmir as “Green Warrior” has not only won appreciation from all but is also enthusiastically joined by volunteers from almost every walk of life in planting trees.
Rahim Greens, a subsidiary of Rahim Motors owned by Mr Bhat, in collaboration with various organisations and the state’s forest department sometime ago launched a plantation drive in Srinagar city and Rajouri district in the Jammu region and involved educational institutions. An initiative named as “The Tree of Life” was organised by it jointly with Help Voluntary Trust earlier.
“No doubt, Hameed Sahib took the initiative and continues to be at the forefront of the campaign but it now appears to be a story of Mein akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar; loag saath aatey gaye aur karvan banta gaya (I set out alone for the destination but people kept joining me and it turned into a caravan),” said a volunteer.
One of the prominent faces which have ardently joined the crusade is Rifat Abdullah, a TV journalist. Apart from distributing saplings in schools and colleges, he has adopted a barren hill in Rathsun area of Budgam and taken a pledge to convert it into what he calls “First Oxygen Zone” of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Thousands of deodar trees have been planted voluntarily on the hill, so far, under ‘Mission One Crore Plants’ launched by ‘Save Environment, Save Kashmir’, a public movement,” he wrote on Facebook.
Volunteers in Sutaharan area of the Valley.
The Kashmir valley bounded on the southwest by the Pir Panjal Range and on the northeast by the main Himalayas range is blessed with exotic natural beauty of landscape and water bodies. But over the years, its water bodies, mountains and particularly forests have been vandalised and the ecological assets are fast disappearing. As per official statistics, more than 14,000 hectares of forestland, including 9,496 hectares in the Jammu region and 4,877 hectares in Kashmir, has been encroached upon by people.
The state has a total forest area of 20,230 square km, largely distributed in the Valley (8,128 sq.km) and the Jammu region (12,066 sq. km). The twin district of Leh and Kargil in Ladakh are mostly devoid of forest vegetation with only 36 sq. km forest area together.
Forest minister Choudhary Lal Singh claimed that the government retrieved from encroachers around 135,000 kanals (16,875 acres) of forestland in 2016-17 for restoration.
“I have asked divisional forest officers to gear up their men and machinery for demarcation of retrieved forests land to avoid further encroachment,” he said.
Officials claim that a slew of measures have been initiated to regenerate the degraded forests. These include planting over two crore saplings across the state — 250,000 of these along the highways.
Mr Singh, while speaking in the state Assembly recently, admitted that out of 20,230 sq km forest area, about 9,000 sq km area is degraded due to “unabated human intervention”.
He also said that 382,000 kanals (47,750 arces) of forest area was under encroachment as on April 1, 2016. “I need around Rs 10,000 crore for treating 9,00,000 hectares of degraded forest area of the state and at the rate of present funding, it will take more than 350 years to rehabilitate the degraded forest area,” he said.
As per the forest policy of the country, 33 per cent of the total area of every region in plains and 60 per cent in the Himalayan region must be under forest cover but the ground reality is that India does not have more than 22 per cent total forest area.
In Jammu and Kashmir, despite it falling in the Himalayan region, the total forest area is about 20 per cent of the total area. The Valley has been experiencing erratic snowfall and hotter summers for the last decade or so and environmentalists say that the main reason for it has been the large-scale deforestation.
Ecologists and other experts insist that restoring the state’s green cover needs the involvement of people and more importantly the spirit shown by Mr Bhat and his partners.
Mr Bhat is hopeful of a greener future. “Our younger generation is aware of the consequences (of deforestation). I have found young boys and girls more than willing to work with me and others in our humble effort to see our surroundings turn green again.

A new photo exhibition in Chandigarh is a boost to women on both sides of the camera
Work from Delhi-based photographer Uzma Mohsin’s series ‘Love & Other Hurts’.
Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at—this John Berger aphorism sums up a majority of the writings by the brilliant English art critic, who based his observations on visual history ranging from Renaissance paintings to contemporary advertisements.
The politics of representation of women in art and photography has been fraught with all manner of problems long before #FearlessGirl and #MeToo became global hashtags. I’ve been a big fan of The Guerrilla Girls, a group of anonymous feminist activist artists who show up wearing gorilla masks in public and use data, humour and outrageous imagery to expose gender bias in politics, art and pop culture. One of their posters about female representation at the MET asks, “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” Illustrated with a visual of the classic 19th century nude La Grande Odalisque (with a gorilla head, of course), it states: Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art section are women, but 85% of the nudes are female.
Certain industries—advertising, pornography, fashion—bear a greater burden of guilt than others. Which is why it is interesting that a new exhibition celebrating the female gaze is curated by a former Vogue and Maxim photo editor, Iona Fergusson, who has spent close to a decade commissioning portraits, fashion and beauty editorials.
Opening this weekend at the Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi in Chandigarh, before it travels to Delhi and London, Girl Gaze: Journeys Through The Punjab & The Black Country, UK is categorically a project “about women by women”, says Fergusson. It is a photographic exploration drawing parallels between women from Punjab and the UK’s “Black Country” area, which has one of the largest Punjabi diasporas.
A striking work from Delhi-based photographer Uzma Mohsin’s series Love & Other Hurts is a portrait of a second-generation immigrant—a tattooed woman sporting an edgy hairdo with mermaid-blue hair swept to one side, with the other half dyed in a leopard pattern. “Birmingham, where she’s from, has a thriving metal scene,” says Mohsin over the phone from Chandigarh. The woman’s personal style is a canny metaphor for acquired taste marrying an inherited aesthetic. Mohsin plans to exhibit her 60 photographs with interwoven threads symbolizing the Phulkari embroidery work synonymous with Punjabi women. Another photographer, the UK’s Jennifer Pattison, is interested in magical worlds that find expression in the traditions of the Punjabi folk festival Lohri. Her fine art photographs, titled Rice Pudding Moon & The River Of Dreams, are inspired by songs that tell of a mother’s love and a land of dreams.
“We were interested in exploring the impact that immigration had on the women…the restrictions on freedom, agency and their own bodies,” says Fergusson.
She admires the work of South African photographer Zanele Muholi, for daring to increase the visibility of the black LGBTQ+ community in a country where women are killed for their homosexuality.
While it was on Fergusson’s agenda to commission women photographers who would explore diverse themes regarding gender, identity, patriarchy, tradition, culture and memory, she was also keen to highlight relatively lesser-known names. Her curatorial mission was to present photographs in which the subjects had agency and participated actively in image production. “It was important to prevent the phenomenon of Other-ing,” she says.
Mohsin’s series does this very literally: A bulk of her photographs are multiple exposure works. She first handed over film cameras to her subjects in the UK (mostly older Punjabi immigrant women) and asked them to photograph objects and scenes that represented them. Simultaneously, she recorded their oral narratives and memories of the places they had left behind. Then, following their stories, she made her own photographs in Punjab, using the same film rolls. “With multiple exposure on film, it’s always a bit of serendipity. Some worked and some didn’t… but it was great to have the subjects so intimately involved with the process,” she says.
Rather than pretty pictures and domestic scenes, the exhibits in Girl Gazecreate layered images that go beyond the purely personal to comment on the impact of migration and cultural cross-pollination. It is a reminder that when girls look at girls, they paint big pictures.
Girl Gaze: Journeys Through The Punjab & The Black Country, UK will premiere in Chandigarh (10-18 March), then travel to Jalandhar (23-27 March), and, later in the year, to Delhi, London and Wolverhampton.

Abdullah, a recepient of the Sutrakar Samman Award, on how self help groups are giving weavers a new lease of life
“If you weave good pieces, you will get good returns, this is what I feel,” says Abdullah, whose words belie his 37 years. He is the recepient of the Sutrakar Samman Award 2017, which is presented annually by the Delhi Craft Council to a weaver for his innovation and skill
Abdullah is from Mubarakpur, a small town about 13 km from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. Mubarakpur has been the bastion of Benares sari weaving. Over the years, it seemed to be losing its significance, but timely interventions have led to renewed interest among the weavers and consumers.
Passion for the loom
Abdullah has been weaving for over 25 years. What marks him out is his unceasing love for the loom and the willingness to learn. “Thankfully there have never been any complaints about my work. I have had long stints with master weavers who used to love my creations, I have worked independently and now I work with a SHG. I believe in my work.” His specialty is the khadua or weaving the brocaded borders and motifs for which Benarasis are known. “Khadna or khadai on the loom which is done using small attachments or tillis give that brocaded look. We have to see if the threads are uniformly drawn; they should not criss cross.”
Abdullah started weaving when he was 11; he learnt the technique from his father. His sisters would work on the brocaded pieces and he learnt from them. In a year or so, he was proficient enough to weave a sari on his own. When he was 20, he installed two hand looms in his house. “I used to buy the yarn and do my own designs. My saris had many takers.” However, when market conditions deteriorated it hit the weavers hard. Master weavers make saris for traders from Benares. Their earnings depend on what the buyer fixes. Wages for weavers are not high. “Gradually I learnt what works and what doesn’t in the market. I also mastered the technique with the help of the master weavers with whom I worked. Today I can make any pattern, if you show me the design I can replicate it,” says Abdullah, who takes immense pride in his work.
In a world, where handloom products are on the wane, meeting a weaver like Abdullah fills you with hope. Abdullah adds, “Nearly 80 per cent of the people living in Mubarakpur are dependent on weaving. So there are more weavers than there is work.”
His association with Mubarakpur Weavers, a self help group of young weavers, gave a new lease of life to his work. The group procures orders and gives it to its members. There is a system of fair wages, the group knows at what price the final product is sold. There is no arbitrary profiteering by middle men. They participate in exhibitions and directly supply to stores also. This interaction with buyers also helps them understand design trends and prices. Abdullah’s brother and his other family members also assist him in the weaving.
I ask the inevitable question, will his sons also take up this profession? He smiles, “my experience with the SHG has been good. So if this continues, there will be no regret if my sons also take it up.” As a parting shot he adds, “it is not the money that I make which is important. The buyer who wears my creation should be happy. That is my reward.”

He was 66 and on the verge of retiring from his post as senior VP and strategy consultant at JWT Mindset
source: Twitter
Veteran adman Anvar Alikhan passed away yesterday after a lung infection. He was 66 and on the verge of retiring from his post as senior VP and strategy consultant at JWT Mindset.
In a tragic coincidence, many of his former colleagues and associates had been preparing video messages to bid farewell to Alikhan as he ventured out of advertising, only to hear of his untimely demise.
Alikhan’s career saw him play pivotal roles at agencies like O&M, Contract and JWT, besides ambitiously foraying into what was then considered “new media” as creative director at the fledgling rediff.com. He was an erudite author on a wide range of subjects from advertising to history to the relative merits of Roger Moore and meeting author RK Narayan.
You will find links to some of his writing at the end of this piece.
Brand Equity reached out to a few of his colleagues and former associates for their memories of Alikhan:
In 1998, we saw a real vacuum in Hyderabad: big international agencies with shell-like structure and locals with no world experience.
Anvar came up with the name Mindset in 2000, a few years after we started. He’d moved back to Hyderabad when his father had a stroke and needed him. We were fortunate to have Anvar on board and the impact was immediate. We had the contacts, and Anvar the brand value. Clients had a lot more respect for us when he came for meetings and we were invited to many more pitches. By 2004, we were Agency of the Year.
We won Coke’s regional business, a go-karting facility that was branded as Runway 9 by Anvar; Godavari Fertilisers which was looking for divestment, got us to rebrand its identity and create a mass media campaign that eventually helped them sell out to the Murugappa Group. Sagar Cement, a regional brand’s advertising with claymation characters created a lot of buzz regionally. This brand too found a foreign investor Vicat immediately after the campaign.
For a sunglass chain called Shades, which was endorsed by popular celebrities like Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty, the line Anvar wrote was a simple ‘You know who, you know where’.
Towards the latter half of the 17 years with Mindset, his focus shifted to strategy. He did painstaking research with no support whatsoever, but never missed a presentation deadline.
We owe this agency’s success to Anvar. In many ways, he was a mentor to us. He would help us with tips on presentation skills, dress code for different occasions, planning pitch process etc. He conducted workshops internally and a lot of us benefited from them.
We had several suitors for acquisition. When we didn’t like a particular agency, even the refusal was well rehearsed. The eventual acquisition by JWT had many inputs from Anvar including wooing the CEO on his maiden visit to Hyderabad.
He had a great sense of humour, and also a bit of a mean streak. When he didn’t like a particular clients’ inputs on his strategy or creative he would start packing up with loud noises, making it very obvious.
He brought wisdom, wit and worldly stature to the workplace.
One year, he also bought a whole lot of cheap and fake Mont Blanc pens and these were given out liberally. In the process, his own genuine pen got mixed up with the fakes and was lost forever! He would talk about it with his usual twinkle in his eye
In all the years we worked closely together, not once did he show irritation nor a cross word ever pass his mouth
More recently, he kept in touch with calls, mails, forwards, articles but not his physical presence. None of us even dreamt the end was so near. As recently as last week, we picked his brain regarding a thorny issue and the depth he put into it, marvels us now.
His oft-quoted statement “No other agency has this many brains under one roof” was SO true, because under our roof, was this magnificent brain
From 2000, we had a New Year wishes mailer which was created in such a way, that people often retained it on their noticeboards, giving us great mileage through the year. ‘Life is what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans’ was the first well remembered card
Colvyn Harris, founder, Harris-Mint and former CEO, JWT India
I was going to record a tribute to Anvar and send it for his farewell, but now, he’s given us an entirely different reason to say farewell.
When we merged Mindset into JWT, we acquired the agency not for revenue but to complete the geography of JWT and most importantly for the three people who ran the place, who were gems. He was a phenomenal ad guy, a fabulous professional and the finest of gentlemen. They don’t make them like him any longer.
He had a very versatile writing style, with depth and knowledge. Even recently when he had written a piece on Sir Martin Sorrell he reached out to get the nuances right.
When we went to the office around the time of the merger, he’d framed strips from Dilbert — a personal favourite of mine — all over the place. There are very few quintessential ad guys without brashness and aggression. His death is a big loss to advertising and I was fortunate to have worked with him.
Pratap Bose, founder, Social Street
When I first saw Anvar, the first thing that came to mind was that he was a really distinguished gentleman; the sort you don’t see too often, especially in our business. Ogilvy was my first agency and I had no idea what agency life was like. Over the years, I used to ask him for advice and he shepherded me through. We did not interact too many times, but he was there for me whenever I needed him. I remember meeting him a few years ago; it was his first time at Goafest and we spent an hour talking about books and movies. He was very well spoken and knowledgeable; not just about advertising but life in general. He was one of the last true gentlemen in the business.

Tourney to be held in Malaysia from April 16
The road to success for this tennisprodigy from Guntur, was not an easy one.
For 16-year-old Sk. Mubhashira Anjum, now ranked 675 in the World’s Junior tennis circuit, the journey from the clay courts in Guntur to the global circuit was filled with grit and hard work. Mubhashira (U-16) will take part in the Junior Fed Cup set to begin at Kuching in Malaysia from April 16.
She had earlier taken part in the Under-14 tennis tourney organised by All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in April 2016.
Born in 2002, Mubhashira began taking lessons in tennis on the clay courts of B.R Stadium and later under the guidance of coaches such as Sk. Ahammad. She began to show her mettle in the tennis tourneys.
Powerful strokes
Whether hitting ground strokes with ferocious power or dropping the volley at nets, she showed her class early. “She was the pick of the boys and girls and her powerful ground strokes and an ability to cover the court stood out. For a girl of her age, she had an amazing fitness level,” recalled Mr. Ahammad who now coaches boys and girls at Officers Club, Guntur.
Her father Sk. Baji is a small time trader but the family had moved to Hyderabad to enable Mubhashira to take coaching at Sania Mirza Tennis Academy.
