Defence Minister Mano-har Parrikar formally commissioned India’s first three women fight-er pilots - Bhawana Kanth, Avani Chatuve-di and Mohana Singh - along with flight cadets of various branches of the Indian Air Force at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal on Satur-day. Flight cadets Avani Chaturvedi of Madhya Pradesh, Mohana Singh of Rajasthan and Bhawa-na Kanth of Bihar, all in their early-20s, bring in a new era for the Indian defence forces, which have for long opposed the induction of women in combat roles. The three women have cleared the first stage of training and have about 150 hours

of flying. After getting their wings as flying of-ficers, they will train for six months on the Ad-vanced Jet Fighter - the British-built Hawk - they will be assigned fight-ers and their squadrons. “We are lucky to have been the first three wom-en fighter pilots. It could have been anyone else,” the three jubilant women said while addressing the media after being com-missioned. After being

commissioned, they will be posted to either the Bidar or Kalaikunda air-base to undertake “tran-sitional” fighter training on the Hawks, which in-cludes learning intensive combat manoeuvres and armament firing spread over a year to ensure the rookie pilots can handle old fighters like MiG-21s or relatively new multi-role ones like Sukhoi-30MKIs and Mi-rage-2000s.

ity wanted by enforce-ment agencies in India was also present. While Suhel Seth contended that it was an open event at the LSE, where anyone could come because of the open invitation, Mal-lya was not invited to the high commission recep-tion nor was he present. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also got into the act when it issued a statement, saying Sar-na left the event without waiting for the interactive session after he spotted Mallya.

ular vote,” he said, react-ing to Rajan’s decision not to take a second term. “Let him (Raghuram Ra-jan) pretend that he is giving up and going. As long as he is going, it is good,” added Swamy. In a series of letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Swamy had demanded sacking of Rajan, argu-ing that he is not “fully

mentally Indian” and had been sending confidential and sensitive financial information around the world. Rajan, in a letter to RBI employees on Sat-urday said that he would go back to Chicago to continue his academic career after completion of his three-year term as central bank chief on September 4. Speculation

has been rife over wheth-er Rajan, an acclaimed IMF economist known to have predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, would get a second term after BJP leader Subra-manian Swamy launched a no-holds barred attack on him recently accusing him of destroying econ-omy with his hawkish stance on interest rates. While Finance Minister Arun Jaitley called for re-straint in public criticism in the wake of Swamy’s attacks, BJP President Amit Shah said the new-ly-nominated MP’s re-marks were his personal opinion. In his letter to colleagues, 53-year-old Rajan, appointed by the previous UPA Govern-ment in September 2013, said he “will, of course, always be available to serve my country when needed”.

Swamy had also questioned wheth-er Rajan was “mental-ly, fully Indian” as he holds a US Green Card, among other allegations. 53-year-old Rajan, who took charge as RBI Gov-ernor in September 2013 with a three-year term, had also ruffled feathers

in the saffron camp with his outspoken views on issues like intolerance and his remarks about India being ‘one-eyed king in the land of blind’. While Finance Minister Arun Jaitley called for restraint in public criticism in the wake of Swamy’s attacks, BJP President Amit Shah said the newly-nominat-ed MP’s remarks were his personal opinion. Answering questions on another term for Rajan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that this “administrative subject” should not be an issue of

interest to the media and it “will come up only in September”. In his letter to colleagues, 53-year-old Rajan, appointed by the previous UPA Gov-ernment in September 2013, said he “will, of course, always be avail-able to serve my country when needed”. Deci-sion of Rajan, who was called a rockstar central banker, immediately set off speculation about his successor and the impact it could have on stock and bond markets when they open on Monday morning.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWhat role are state parties likely to play in shaping national politics?

Already, the BJP is in partnership with at least four major state parties — PDP, Akali Dal, AGP and Shiv Sena — besides having the support of the TDP. In the run-up to the next parliamentary election, it could further intensify its bid to ally with more state parties. On the other hand, anti-BJP forces would draw succour from the fact that Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress, like Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), could become the centre of the new anti-BJP (“sec-ular”) alliance in the near future. This tendency to superimpose discursive categories on the politics of regional forces is somewhat self-defeating and misleading. In the ideological haste to imagine a non-communal political alternative, the historical trajectory and the state-specific context for the rise and continued predominance of the state parties are always ignored. The absence of an all-India al-ternative and inability of the Congress to federal-ly incorporate regional aspirations contributed to the rise of the so-called regional parties and they thrived once the local power structures belonging to the Congress began to crumble. It is well-known that the limitations of state parties in tackling the Congress and their all-India aspirations facilitated their alliances with the BJP in the ‘90s. The BJP was then a junior player in most of the states, mak-ing the regional parties secure. Whenever the am-bitions of the state party and the BJP clashed, their coalitions came under pressure. The earliest in-stance of this was the BJP-BSP alliance intended to keep the SP away. This alliance never worked be-cause both partners were impatient to emerge as the main player in the state. Similarly, the JD(S)-BJP alliance in Karnataka was ill-fated because each party perceived itself to be the main challenger to the Congress and wanted to use the other only as a temporary prop. Over time, Odisha, West Bengal, and more recently Bihar and Maharashtra, have exemplified the limitations of the BJP’s regional game plan. In these states, once the BJP began to expand and become a major player, the state-level partner developed problems with the BJP and dis-covered that it was, after all, a communal force. The lessons to be drawn from this historical con-text are two-fold. First, the state parties are neither naturally anti-communal nor are they natural allies of the BJP. It is true that the Trinamool Congress or the JD(U) had to take into consideration the wari-ness of the Muslim voter vis-à-vis the BJP. Howev-er, that was not deterrent enough to their overtures to the BJP. It is the state-level context which will decide their stance towards the BJP. Take the case of Tamil Nadu. If the Congress has chosen to con-tinue its alliance with the DMK, it makes sense for the AIADMK to build bridges with the BJP. The case of West Bengal is even more instructive. Here is a ruling party that was for the past two years en-gaged in an anti-BJP slanging match, has a large contingent in the Lok Sabha, and yet was isolated in the assembly elections. This isolation can easily force the TMC to rethink its strategy regarding the BJP. The second lesson is that state parties would align with the so-called all-India parties only when the latter do not have much strength to unsettle state-level political equations.

Flora who was last seen in Nagesh’s Lakshmi said, “It’s a dream come true to be working with him in Dhanak after Lakshmi. He is a fantastic direc-tor.

Sushant Singh Rajput remains in news more for his personal life than professional. There were rumours about his linkup with his Raabta co-star Kriti Sanon soon after he broke up with long-time girlfriend Ankita Lokha-nde. However, Sushant and Kriti remained mum about their relationship status. But now pictures from the film sets in Bu-dapest have created spec-ulation about their possi-ble relationship. The PK actor has shared a selfie with Kriti on Instagram. Notably, the actor had deleted his Instagram his account after his split with Ankita. And now, he has made a comeback

Fast food giant McDonald’s may be planning to outsource jobs to India as part of a $500 million cost reduction plan it announced last November, a media report said. A report in the New York Post said McDonald’s is shedding jobs as part of a $500 million cost reduction spearheaded by Chief Ex-ecutive Steve Easterbrook. “McDonald’s is also moving some functions to India in what could be a larger controversial push toward outsourcing,” it quoted sources familiar with the company’s plans as saying. A regional office in Columbus, Ohio is among the first casualties of the cost-cutting. Mc-Donald’s described the facility’s closing as part of “plans to permanently restructure its operations and eliminate a number of roles,” in a May 13 letter the company sent to city officials. The layoffs will begin in July and end by December, it said. The 70 workers at that facility provide support services to restaurants, including accounting functions, which may be moving to an Indian firm, say the sources.

Your weight as a teenager can be a good measure of how well your heart will be doing in middle age, according to a recent study. The research found that in men with a BMI of 20 and over, the risk of heart failure increased by 16% with every BMI unit, after adjustments for factors that could affect the find-ings, such as age, year of enlistment into the Swed-ish armed forces, other diseases, parental education, blood pressure, IQ, muscle strength and fitness. An-nika Rosengren of the University of Gothenburg, who led the research, said, “Although most studies define a normal weight as having a BMI between 18.5 and 25, this is probably not an appropriate defi-nition in the young, most of whom are naturally thin. This may be why we see an increase in the risk of heart failure starting at a fairly low BMI level. How-ever, it was surprising to see the very steep increase in risk with increasing body weight above a BMI of 20.” Rosengren noted, “Given the global trend for growing numbers of teenagers to be overweight and obese, our findings suggest that heart failure, which in this study occurred at the relatively early average age of about 47 may well become a major threat to

The hearing will take place on Mon-day. The Croatia game in St Etienne was held up for several minutes after its fans threw flares on to the pitch and began fight-ing among themselves.

The tournament has 39 qualifying spots up for grabs — two in the 49kg category, five each in 52kg, 56kg, 60kg, 64kg, 69kg, 75kg and 81kg, and one each in 91kg and +91kg. Over 400 boxers from more than 100 coun-tries are vying for these slots in the final qualify-ing tournament for am-ateur boxers. India have not sent any entry in the 56kg category as Shiva Thapa has already qual-ified for the Rio Games during the Asian qualifi-ers in March.

About a week ago, Apurva Patel, an young Ahmedabad entrepreneur opened a cafeteria in the Gujarat International Fi-nance Tec-City (GIFT City) at Gandhinagar. His franchise unit employing two local boys is located in the amenities section of the campus behind the GIFT-one tower — one of the 110 towers envisioned to be built on a 886 acre campus — and serves just 40-50 customers of the 1,700 workforce that the country’s first green-field smart city project employs. “We are still experimenting.
