History of Indian Cricket

History of Indian cricket - Before 1930s
Zee Cric The game of cricket was introduced in India in the middle of the 18th century. On 3rd March 1845 the ‘Sporting Intelligence’ magazine carried a reasonably lengthy match report between ‘Sepoy’ cricketers and the European ones. The article clearly proved that Indian cricket was underway in a city called Sylhet, in modern day Bangladesh.Zee Cric An impressed reporter proudly stated “the most enthusiastic European Cricketers could not have played with more energy and cheerfulness than the Sepoys did”.
However, chroniclers of cricket unanimously suggest that the formation of ‘Parsi Oriental Cricket Club’ in Bombay in the year 1848 led to the start of organized cricket by the Indians.
Parsi cricket
The first Indians to take to the game were the Parsis of Bombay, an educated, well-to-do and progressive community. In 1848, the Parsi boys established the ‘Oriental Cricket Club’.
The emerging Parsi middle class supported cricket as a means of strengthening ties with the overlords, while intellectuals welcomed it as a renewal of physical energy for the race. Around thirty Parsi clubs were formed in the within two decades of the formation of the first club. They were named for British viceroys and statesmen and for Roman gods.
Hindu cricket
The Hindu’s took up the game of cricket with the primary reason that they did not want to fall behind the Parsis in any manner. The first Hindu club ‘Bombay Union’ was formed in 1866. Hindus started playing cricket due to social and business rivalry with the Parsis. Hindu cricketers sorted themselves on the lines of caste and region of origin.

One of the primary Hindu cricketer was Ramchandra Vishnu Navlekar.Some of the main clubs were Gowd Saraswat Cricket Club, Kshatriya Cricket Club, Gujrati Union Cricket Club, Maratha Cricket Club, Teluu Youn Cricketrs etc.
“There is no more agreeable sight to me,” remarked the Mayor of Bombay in 1886, “than of the whole Maidan overspread by a lot of enthusiastic Parsi and Hindu cricketers, keenly and eagerly engaged in this manly game.”
Gymkhanas
The all-white Bombay Gymkhana, which even refused admission to Ranji, was established in 1875. The Europeans invited the Parsis to paly with them for the first time in 1877. This more or less became a regular feature though it was a decade before the Parsis’ eventually managed to win. Beginning from 1886, the Hindus also began playing an annual match with the Europeans.
With the efforts of Luxmani and Tyebjee families, also famous for their social work such as establishing schools and good work at the law courts, the Muslims had also set up their own cricket club in 1883. This was known as the Muslim Cricket Club.
Cricket in India got a huge impetus by the formation of Parsi, Hindu and Muslim Gymkhanas in the 1890s. The British alloted one plot each to the three major religious communities in the city, for their exclusive use ending their conflict with the colonizers.
Ranjit Singhji
A notable mention in this era is the vital contribution of the Black Prince, Prince Ranjit Singhji who had moved to England to study at Cambridge University and was given a cricket “blue” in his final year by the college.
He then went on to play county cricket for Sussex. He made his Test debut for England in 1896. This made him the first Indian to play Test cricket.Zee Cric Ranjit Singhji was Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1897. He scored a century in the second innings on his Test debut, making his only the second batsman for England to achieve this feat. Duing the year 1899 he amassed 2,780 runs during a season which was the highest aggregate ever made!
India’s most prestigious first-class cricket tournament – Ranji Trophy was named after him in order to honour this great cricketer.
The Bombay Quadrangular
It started as a contest between the Parsis and the Europeans and evolved thereafter. The Hindus joined in 1886. These matches came to be called the Presidency matches due to their ever-rising popularity. In 1907 a triangular tournament was started which involved the Parsis, Europeans and the Hindus.
It was in 1912 that the Muslims joined the league of the famous Bombay tournaments turning it into a Quadrangular. Neutral umpires were introduced for the first time in 1917. Uptil now, umpires were mainly appointed from the Bombay Gymkhana. However, all this changed and umpires began to be appointed from the non-competing teams.
In the 1920’s, the quadrangular tournament gained immense popularity. Players were being selected from all over the sub-continent region. This gave a huge boost to cricket in India and led to the start of several other tournaments all over the country.
In the year 1937, a new team called the Rests was also added to the already four teams turning it into a Pentangular tournament. However, in 1946 due to communal disturbances this Pentangular tournament was done away with, and a zonal competition came into existence.
The Nayudus from Nagpur
The Nayudu family spent thousands on the promotion of cricket. They formed a club in Nagpur that coached many underprivelaged boys and took care of their education provided they fulfilled the only condition, that is, to play cricket.Zee Cric Such was the family’s fascination with the sport that C K Nayudu’s birth was celebrated by his granddad by organising a cricket match.
The family’s contribution proved fruitful as C.K Nayudu, the family’s illustrious son, went on to become one of the finest batsmen that India has ever produced.
One of Nayudu’s most memorable innings was his 153 in Bombay in 1926. Coming in an hour and thirteen minutes against six English top line bowlers spoke volumes of the progress made by Indian cricket. CK Nayudu was Wisden’s Cricketer of the Year in 1933 and was also nicknamed as the ‘Hindu Bradman’.
Formation of BCCI
A.E.R Gilligan’s MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) toured India in 1926 and took on Bombay in a match that proved to be a turning point in the history of Indian cricket. As C K Naidu smashed 153, with elevan sixes and thirteen fours, for the Hindus, India began dreaming big. It eventually led to the formation of BCCI in 1928. Records prove that the first meeting was held on 4 December 1928 and was funded by the Maharaja of Patiala.
The first President of the Board was RE Grant Govan and the founding Secretary was AS De Mello. De Mello later went on to become Board President and was also involved in the creation of the Cricket Club of India. He also helped in establishing Brabourne Stadium which was India’s first permanent cricket venue in 1937.Zee CricZee Cric

I am not as rich as Shah Rukh: Big B

Bollywood megastar Amitbah Bachchan says he couldn't bid for an Indian Premier League (IPL) team because he doesn't have "as much money as (Kolkata Knight Riders owner) Shah Rukh Khan".
"I don't have as much money as Shah Rukh. He has money and so he owns a team," Amitabh said poula TV channel.
Amitabh sent a congratulatory SMS to skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his Padma Shri and didn't get a response. But he says he holds no grudge against the cricket star.
"He must have been busy, there's no need to make an issue out of this."
The sexagenarian otherwise makes for an avid viewer of the IPL and says he watches "almost all the matches

English movie Spiderman 3 actress commits suicide

British actress Lucy Gordon, who portrayed reporter Jennifer Dugan in Spiderman 3, has committed suicide in her Paris apartment, reports said on Thursday.
Gordon took her own life on Wednesday, just two days before her 29th birthday. No other details were provided.
Since her debut in the 2001 moviePerfume, Gordon appeared in about a dozen films, including French director Cedric Klapisch's The Russian Dolls, American filmmaker John Krasinski's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Spiderman 3.
She had just finished making a bio-pic about the late French singer Serge Gainsbourg in which she portrayed Gainsbourg's ex-companion Jane Birkin. The film is due to be released next year.

Slumdog Millionare Director "Danny Boyle" cast Aamir for next film

Rumours are rife that Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle has approached Bollywood superstar Aamir Khanfor his next venture.
Boyle first expressed a desire to work with Aamir during the premiere of Slumdog Millionaire in India and now he has approached him to work in his prospective film, reports said.
While Aamir was out of the country for a break with his kids, his chance return to Mumbai resulted in Boyle calling on the Lagaan actor to discuss a new project before hosting a party for his Slumdog team there.
The Trainspotting director was in Mumbai to help rescue Azharuddin Ismail Shaikh and Rubina Ali, the child stars of his movie Slumdog Millionaire, after authorities razed their shanties rendering them homeless.

Hrithik and Ash to play passionate lovers

Sajnay Leela Bhansali has dedicated his next film, Guzaarish to the living music legend, Lata Mangeshkar. He has also turned a full fledged composer with this film. Earlier he had done a track in Saawariya.
The movie has been in constant limelight for its lead cast, apart from Bhansali's musical skills. After romancing together in Dhoom 2 and Jodha Akbar, the smouldering hot pair of Hirthik and Aishwarya has been recast in Bhansali's film.
Commenting on the choice for the lead actors, Bhansali cited their beauty as the compelling reason.
Accordingh to reports, Hrithik and Aishwarya have been chosen to play the passionate lovers in Guzaarish because, for Bhansali, they epitomize the physical and spiritual beauty of Lataji's voice.
Now for some, the connection between the two stars and Lataji's voice may sound too farfetched, but, well, the physical beauty of the two stars and their on screen chemistry will always be a delight to watch.

A software to change sex!

It's virtually a face off! Scientists have developed a software which they claim can change the sex of a person on a computer by taking a live video feed of a person talking.
The software has been developed by computer scientist Barry-John Theobald at the University of East Anglia in the UK and Iain Matthews, formerly at Carnegie Mellon University and now at Weta Digital in Wellington, New Zealand.
In fact, according to the scientists, the software can take a live video feed of a person talking and make them look and sound like somebody else could actually change that, the 'New Scientist' reported.
In their research, the scientists recorded video of volunteers performing 30 different facial expressions such as frowning, smiling and looking surprised. For each expression, the positions of key facial features, such as the eyes, nose and corners of the lips, were manually labelled.
That annotated footage was used to "train" software to recognise the face of each individual featured in the set.
Once trained on a person in this way, it can closely track every move of their face in video footage.
Those movements can then be transferred onto the face of another "known" person by calculating how the recipient's features need to change to take on each new expression.
Doing that and displaying the transformed face takes just 150 milliseconds, fast enough to allow a conversation over video link to continue in real time. To complete effect, a person's voice can be manipulated to match their new face.
Volunteers were asked to chat to one another in a video conference, but did not know if the face they saw was really that of the person they were talking with – or indeed if the other volunteer was seeing their own true face.
"The results suggest that our body language during conversation is more reactive to that of others than it is to their physical appearance. We've shown you can present a female as herself or as a male, and the other participant's behaviour doesn't change," Theobald said.

MS making human body a videogame controller

Microsofthas revealed that is has been secretly developing technology that lets people play videogames using natural body movements instead of handheld controllers.
The US software giant behind Xbox 360 videogame consoles revealed yesterday a prototype of a project codenamed "Natal," a system that combines cameras and voice and face recognition software to recognise people and their actions.
"The gamer in me went out of my mind when I got to be interactive with this," famed film director Steven Spielberg during a Microsoft press conference on the eve of a major E3 videogame industry show in Los Angeles.
"I got a feeling I was in a historic moment. What Microsoft is doing isn't re-inventing the wheel; this is about no wheel at all."
Natal lets people play driving games by simply moving hands as if turning a car steering wheel. In-game characters in boxing, skateboard, soccer and other sports titles mimic the body movements of real-world players.
The system scans faces and voices to determine who is playing, a demonstration showed.
Xbox 360 consoles equipped with Natal will be able to respond to spoken commands for actions such as playing movies or connecting online with friends for video chats.
An expected completion date for Natal was not disclosed, but Microsoft yesterday released a software kit for videogame makers interested in designing titles to take advantage of Natal's capabilities.

memory chips that could bend and twist

The day is not far when electronic memory chips would gain the ability to be bended and twisted, for engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have found a way to build a flexible memory component out of inexpensive, readily available materials.
Although the new device is not ready to debut in the market, but it holds promise not only because of its potential applications in medicine and other fields, but also because it has the characteristics of a memristor.
A memristor is a fundamentally new component for electronic circuits that industry scientists developed in 2008.
Scientists seek electronic components that can flex without breaking for many reasons-for example they could be worn on the skin to monitor heart rate or blood sugar
Although there exist some flexible components, the NIST researchers think that creating flexible memory is a technical barrier.
Thus, while hunting for a solution, the researchers took polymer sheets-the sort that transparencies for overhead projectors are made from-and experimented with depositing a thin film of titanium dioxide, an ingredient in sunscreen, on their surfaces.
They deposited the material by a sol gel process, which consists of spinning the material in liquid form and letting it set, like making gelatin.
They added electrical contacts and created a flexible memory switch that operates on less than 10 volts, maintains its memory when power is lost, and still functions after being flexed more than 4,000 times.
In fact, the switch's performance strongly resembles to that of a memristor-a component theorised in 1971 as a fourth fundamental circuit element (along with the capacitor, resistor and inductor).
A memristor is essentially a resistor that changes its resistance depending on the amount of current that is sent through it-and retains this resistance even after the power is turned off.
The NIST component demonstrates similar electrical behaviour like a memristor, and is also flexible.
And, thus, they can begin to explore the metrology that may be necessary to study the device's unique electrical behaviour.
"We wanted to make a flexible memory component that would advance the development and metrology of flexible electronics, while being economical enough for widespread use. Because the active component of our device can be fabricated from a liquid, there is the potential that in the future we can print the entire memory device as simply and inexpensively as we now print a slide on an overhead transparency," said NIST researcher Nadine Gergel-Hackett.
The findings of the study appear in an upcoming issue of IEEE Electron Device Letters.

Match against Pak was one of the best: Dhoni

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has described India`s warm up clash against Pakistan ahead of T20 World Cup as one of the best matches they have played but reckons that doing an encore in future would be difficult.
"It was one of the best games but difficult to replicate it in future," said Dhoni after his side thrashed Pakistan by nine-wickets in front of a sold-out crowd at the Oval on Wednesday night.
Openers Rohit Sharma (80) and Gautam Gambhir (52) nearly knocked off the required 159 runs between them alone, a performance which would send shudders down the spine of other teams.
Dhoni was unwilling to confirm if Sharma has booked his place in the squad even if Sehwag recovers from his shoulder injury in coming days.
"It`s difficult to say, injuries being injuries...I don`t want to speculate about it now."
There was no ambiguity about Zaheer Khan though as Dhoni said the left-arm paceman is definitely out of the opening game against Bangladesh on Friday and could also be out of the final league game against Ireland on June 10.
"Zaheer has started bowling and signs are encouraging but we don`t want to take any risks," he explained. Outlining his reasons for promoting the Mumbai batsman to opener`s slot, Dhoni said Sharma was an automatic choice.
"I discussed with him in a practice session and he responded with enthusiasm. With Viru injured, he was the best option available. In the first game (against New Zealand), I thought I would open. But then Yuvi was unfit so I thought I would bat at number three and down the order.”
"Rohit seemed an appropriate talent who could really open the innings. He has the time when he plays the quickest of bowlers. That really helped me take the decision. Now he has made a big impact. Hopefully, he would get those runs throughout the tournament," he said.
Gangly pacer Ishant Sharma also did his bit by bowling a miserly spell and Dhoni is keen to use him in the middle overs.
"I still feel Ishant should bowl in the middle overs. May be an over to start or end with but he is best served in the middle overs.”
"It is a stage when batsmen are not looking to go after the bowlers and Ishant isn`t perforced to bowl his yorkers. In these conditions, he gets a bit of bounce. He hits the deck hard and middle overs are ideal for him," he said.
On a brilliant day for them, Dhoni still found fault with his team`s performance in the field.
"I don`t think we bowled well in the final two overs. We were not experimenting, we were trying to bowl yorkers and that`s not good," he said.

How Antarctica became the world’s biggest chunk of ice

Scientists have come up with the first detailed view of how the Antarctic ice sheet, the world’s biggest chunk of ice, was born.
According to a report in New Scientist, radar images suggest that Antarctica “grew” its ice cap in three stages, carving out the rock below in distinct ways as glaciers expanded, retracted, and flowed downstream.
The images were collected between 2004 and 2008 by researchers who drove huge trains of caterpillar tractors in tight lines over Dome A, a plateau of ice at the heart of Antarctica.
The tractors carried radars that pinged down through the ice and sent back profiles of the frozen rock landscape below.
Dome A, the highest point on the continent, is also one of the coldest places on Earth, with temperatures as low as -90 degrees Celsius.
Far beneath its frozen surface lie the Gamburtsev mountains, where glaciologists believe the Antarctic ice sheet was born.
Its distance to the ocean and high altitude would have made it the coolest spot on the continent 34 million years ago, when the ice began to grow.
Because Dome A is so remote and so cold, and because kilometers of ice separate the surface from the mountain tops, we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the Gamburtsev.
Until recently, only a single radar flight some 30 years ago had probed the chain.
In the past few years, glaciologists have used planes and tractors to map out the iced mountains more fully. Earlier this year, the British Antarctic Survey revealed images of the mountains’ profile.
Now, a Chinese, Japanese and UK team has published results detailing the 900-square-kilometre area beneath Dome A.
By studying the images, the researchers have determined how the ice cap formed. First, some 34 million years ago, small mountain-top glaciers developed.
They froze and thawed with variations in Earth’s orbit, sometimes filling the range’s main valley and its tributaries, sometimes disappearing entirely.
These variations would have created distinct, high-altitude cirques, hanging valleys and deepened the main valley.
Isotope records from the deep ocean show that global temperatures dropped by up to 8 degrees C about 14 million years ago. This froze the ice to the rock, and it will have moved very little since then, preserving the landscape below.
According to Martin Siegert of the University of Edinburgh, UK, “It would have looked much like Patagonia today, with quite lush forests and small valley glaciers cutting into the alpine topography.”

Obama's speech: Palestinians, Israelis react differently

President Barack Obama's historic speech to the Muslim world evoked mixed response in the Middle- East with the Palestinian Authority describing it as a "good start" but right-wing Israelis slammed it and asked Tel Aviv's leadership to stay defiant amid calls to halt settlements.
In his speech aimed at healing rifts between the US and the Muslim world, Obama said: "Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's."
The US president also issued a scathing criticism of Israel's settlement activities in the West Bank, saying "the US does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements... It is time for these settlements to stop."
"His call for stopping settlement and for the establishment of a Palestinian state, and his reference to the suffering of Palestinians... is a clear message to Israel that a just peace is built on the foundations of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital," an aide to PA President Mahmoud Abbas said.
"President Obama's speech is a good start and an important step towards a new American policy," said Nabil Abu Rdeineh, who normally views Abbas' opinion to the public.
The Israeli right wings, however, condemned Obama's warming up to the Islamic world and asked the Jewish state's leadership to stay defiant on the issue of settlements.

The reason their parting ways is because Salman is suspicious of Katrina having an affair with co-star, John Abraham. Apparently, when he checked Kat's phone bill his suspicion grew stronger as he found that both of them not only exchanged text messages but also spoke on the phone for long hours over the phone! Hmmm Sallu found the solution to the problem by breaking up with Kat but wonder what Bipasha has to say to her boyfriend's philandering

Dubai's first low-cost airline, flydubai, takes off on Monday

Dubai's first low-cost airline, flydubai, takes off on Monday from Terminal 2 and marks a step-up in the emirate's aviation history.
The first flight to Beirut on Monday will be followed by others to Damascus, Alexandria and Amman.
The airline will be flying Boeing 737s-800. It has placed orders for 50, valued at $4 billion (Dh14.7 billion).
flydubai has already taken delivery of two aircraft; it will receive four more by 2010.
The airline currently employs 125 people, including cabin crew, and will continue to expand its human resource as more aircraft are received.
flydubai will be adding 14 to 16 more destinations by the year-end, with a focus on the subcontinent and Gulf countries.

The hottest, highest-paid models in the world

Business magazine Forbes magazine has released it's international list of this year's top-earning models. Which sexy ladies have the deepest pockets? Find out right here!
'The world's top earning model' is based on estimated earnings of models from June 2008 to June 2009. Four Brazilian models have found a place in the rankings.
"(The) modelling industry has been hard-hit by the economic crisis, but the value of the beauties at the top is as strong as ever," the magazine noted.
At Number One: Gisele Bundchen
Brazilian beauty Bundchen has topped the list of top-earning models. At 28, she has earnings to the tune of USD 25 million from numerous campaigns, including those for brands like Versace, True Religion jeans and Dior.

Google launches Android in China

Google's Android mobile phone operating system is set to make its legal debut in China in June when China Mobile launches specially adapted handsets.
Taiwan-based handset manufacturer HTC said China Mobile would start selling a customised version of the HTC Magic, a handset based on Google's Android operating system, through its stores.
Analysts believe that a successful launch of a high-end handset for China Mobile subscribers could help remove hurdles to the entry of similar handsets such as Apple's iPhone into the country, the world's largest mobile market.
Apple has negotiated for months with China Unicom, China Mobile's smaller rival, to introduce the iPhone to China, but industry executives say regulators have sought to hold back an agreement until China Mobile has a device that will allow it to compete for 3G customers.
Android-based handsets and iPhones have long been available in China through "grey imports" - consumers can buy the G1, a phone custom-made for Deutsche Telekom by HTC, and the iPhone in any electronics retail chain.
But none of these sales are strictly legal as China bans WiFi handsets from its market unless they are also compatible with WAPI, a local wireless standard.
Also, consumers cannot get these handsets directly through their mobile operators, and the operators cannot subsidise them.
The Chinese government hopes to balance the big three mobile operators - China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom - against each other as they roll out 3G services following the issue of licences in January.
Although China Mobile dominates the market with its 483 million subscribers, it has lagged behind its competitors in picking up new users in recent months.
That is partly because it must use TD-SCDMA, a homegrown 3G technology, while China Unicom and China Telecom were awarded licences under WCDMA and CDMA2000, the standards used in European and US markets.

Australian police arrest 16 on child porn charges

Sixteen Australian men have been arrested on charges related to the distribution and possession of child pornography, police said Monday.
The men were arrested in five states over the past month and are believed to be part of a global child pornography network, said Neil Gaughan, Australian Federal Police high tech crime operations manager.
Each man is accused of downloading a sexually explicit video involving a young girl, Gaughan said. They did not know each other.
The operation was triggered by information received from police in the southwestern German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in December, Gaughan said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baden-Wuerttemberg police announced in April that they had broken up an international child pornography ring involving alleged users in some 91 nations, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States.
A total of 44 charges have been filed against the 16 Australians, Gaughan said. Possession of child pornography in Australia carries a potential sentence of 10 years in prison.

A teenage US-Indonesian model abused by malaysian prince

A teenage US-Indonesian model has returned to her family in Indonesia with tales of abuse, rape and torture at the hands of a Malaysian prince, after her dramatic escape with the help of Singapore police.
Manohara Odelia Pino, 17, told reporters she was treated like a sex slave after her marriage to Tengku Temenggong Mohammad Fakhry, the prince of Malaysia's Kelantan state, last year.
Her mother, Daisy Fajarina, said she would press charges against the 31-year-old prince, and blamed the Malaysian and Indonesian governments for trying to cover up the alleged abuse.
"The things I've been afraid of were revealed to be true. Manohara has suffered physical abuse. She's got several razor cuts on her chest," Fajarina said on Monday.
"No parent could be silent if their child was treated in such a barbaric way."
The Malaysian government had ignored her pleas for access to her daughter and had blocked her from entering the country, she said, while the Indonesian embassy had said that Manohara was fine with her new husband.
But the young woman — a well-known socialite in Jakarta — said her life at the royal palace involved a "daily routine" of rape, abuse, torture and occasional drug injections that made her vomit blood.
She said she was usually held under guard in her bedroom at the palace and was injected with tranquilisers whenever she complained.
"I am still traumatised by all that happened and it has left an impact on me," she told reporters in Jakarta on Sunday, after escaping the royal family during a trip to Singapore over the weekend.
"Sexual abuse and sexual harassment were like a daily routine for me, and he did that every time I did not want to have sexual intercourse," she was quoted as saying in The Jakarta Globe.
"I could never think a normal man could do such things," she said, adding: "Some parts of my body were cut by a razor."
The teenager whose fairy-tale wedding to a prince captured the imagination of Indonesia said she would be tortured if she did not appear to be happy when she attended social functions with Fakhry.
"Every time I went for events they forced me to smile and would torture me if I did not do what they said," she told the press conference.
She said she secretly called Singaporean police and pleaded for help after the royal family took her to the city state when they accompanied Fakhry's father, Sultan Ismail Petra Shah II, for medical treatment.
"The police told Fakhry that he would be held in jail if he did not let me go. No one could force me against my will in Singapore and I knew I had a chance to escape," she said.
The model once voted as being among Indonesia's "100 Precious Women" said she escaped her guards by pushing the Singapore hotel elevator's emergency button.
They were reluctant to chase her because they knew the scene would be captured on security cameras.
She blasted the Indonesian embassy in Malaysia, saying: "They made it worse by telling lies, saying that I was fine while I was suffering in Kelantan."
A spokesman for the Indonesian foreign ministry insisted the embassy had done everything it could to help Manohara and said the government would assist her if she wanted to file charges against her husband.
Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said the government would not investigate the claims.
"I think this is more of a personal matter. To date we have not been dragged into it, so we want to leave it as it is," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia's royal rulers used to enjoy immunity from criminal and civil charges but the privilege was removed in 1993.
There has been no comment from the Kelantan royal family.
Manohara's lawyer, Yuri Darmas, said she would have a medical examination to back up her allegations of abuse.
"We need one to two days to gather evidence before we file a lawsuit to the Malaysian police," he said, adding that he intended to pursue both criminal and civil lawsuits against the prince.
Manohara has already filed for divorce, her mother said.

Air France jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris lost

An Air France jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris lost contact with air traffic controllers over the Atlantic Ocean, an Air France official said on Monday. Brazil immediately began a search mission off its northeastern coast.
Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330, was carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew members, company spokeswoman Brigitte Barrand said. The flight left Rio on Sunday at 1900 hours local time.
The plane disappeared about 190 miles (300 kilometers) northeast of the coastal Brazilian city of Natal, near the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, a Brazilian air force spokesman said.
The air force began a search began on Monday morning near Fernando de Noronha, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with air force policy.
The region is about 1,500 miles northeast of Rio.
An official with France's transport agency said contact with the plane was lost at 0220 GMT Monday (10:20 pm EDT on Sunday). The official was not authorised to be named according to agency policy.
Barrand said the airline installed an information centre at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport for the families of those aboard.
"Air France regrets to announce that it is without news from Air France flight 447 flying from Rio to Paris," she said. "Air France shares the emotion and worry of the families concerned."
The flight was scheduled to arrive in Paris at 0915 GMT (5:15 am EDT), according to the airport.
Airbus declined to comment until more details emerge.
France's minister in-charge of transport, Jean-Louis Borloo, said there was a "real pessimism at this hour" about the fate of the aircraft.
"We can fear the worst," he said on Europe-1 radio.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed his "extreme worry" and sent ministers to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport to monitor the situation.

Alcohol can make cars more climate-friendly

Test results on a novel ethanol-assisted engine by the Ford Motor Company have indicated that alcohol can make automobiles more climate-friendly.
According to a report in New Scientist, the unit, called a direct-injection ethanol engine, runs primarily on petrol.
When it needs to deliver maximum power, like climb a hill or overtake, the engine management computer adds a little ethanol to the fuel injected into the combustion chambers.
This arrangement allows the engine to operate at a much higher compression ratio - a measure of the amount by which the fuel-air mixture is compressed before being ignited - than normal.
“As a result, an average car engine can be “downsized” to one that should have around 23 percent better fuel efficiency,” officials at Ford said.
Normally, the downside of a high compression ratio is that it encourages premature ignition or “knocking”, which drastically cuts down the power output.
Adding ethanol to the fuel suppresses knocking.
“We’re trying to get the best of both worlds,” said Paul Whitaker of AVL Powertrain Engineering of Plymouth, Michigan, which is developing the technology with Ford. “It’s like knock suppression on demand,” he added.
Test results on a pickup truck fitted with the new engine were recently presented at the US Department of Energy’s annual vehicle technology review meeting in Arlington, Virginia.
They showed a 23 percent improvement in fuel efficiency for the same performance levels.
The ethanol from a 40-litre auxiliary tank would last about 30,000 kilometres, according to Ford.
Whitaker said that the next step is to road test the engine in a variety of vehicles and to ensure that the engine does not become unusable if the ethanol tank runs dry.
Ford said that its ethanol-assisted engine would cost 1100 to 1500 dollars more than a conventional engine.
This is just one-third of the extra cost of a hybrid petrol-electric engine over a normal petrol engine. Hybrids typically deliver 25 to 35 per cent better fuel economy than a conventional engine.
