QUOTE OF THE

DAYDominant castes resent reservations, backward

groups haven’t fully benefitedMarathas, Patels, Jats, Kapus and others are asking for reservations today, preferably through their rec-ognition as Other Backward Classes. This demand reflects the challenges they are facing on the job market. Not only is the Indian economy not creat-ing as many jobs as before (the number has declined from 7 lakh to 1.55 lakh from 2011-12 to 2014-15 in the eight sectors reviewed by the Labour Bureau), but wages in the private sector are much lower than in the public sector. On average, in 2011-12 daily earnings were almost 2.5 times higher in the public sector at Rs 945 against Rs 388 in the private sec-tor. The gap will increase after the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are implemented. Cer-tainly, this assessment needs to be qualified because salaries of government jobs are mostly attractive at entry-level. But they are also perceived as less de-manding, more stable and as providing many social benefits. However, one may wonder whether the in-clusion of dominant castes in the OBC list is such a panacea. The first problem is that the public sec-tor is shrinking: Government jobs which were 19.5 million in 1996-97 are about 17.6 million today. Certainly, the percentage of public jobs is higher in some states than in others — 16 per cent in Kerala to 1.2 per cent in Gujarat — but the national aver-age is rather low at 4.5 per cent. It is also true that among government workers, groups A and B have continued to grow (24.1 and 27 per cent respectively between 2001-02 and 2011-12), but groups C and D have declined by 8.4 per cent over the same period, and these are the most numerous. According to the 7th pay commission, only slightly more than 1 lakh jobs were added every year in departments and min-istries of the central government between 2006 and 2014. The stock of jobs of the state governments be-ing 1.6 times that of the Centre in 2006, if they have recruited at the same rate, by and large, the public sector has been hiring 3 lakh people a year in 2006-14 — when about 8 lakh young Indians were enter-ing the job market annually. Secondly, government jobs may not be the right solution for the dominant castes listed above because an increasingly large percentage of these jobs are occupied by contract workers who earn at least twice less than the direct-ly employed ones. In 2014, a report prepared by the Indian Staffing Federation showed that at least 44 per cent of the government employees are now temporary — and their number is on the rise. Not only are their wages almost as low as those of the contract workers of the private sector, but they are deprived of social security benefits. If we return to the Patels, Marathas, Jats and Kapus, this state of things is particularly re-sented by such caste groups which used to enjoy a prestigious status in the village and whose expecta-tions are still high. In fact, some studies show that their job problem has much to do with the hiatus be-tween their expectations and their skills: They want good jobs but are not very qualified. In a way, their problem is one of employability — which explains that joblessness is particularly pervasive among those who have degrees, but no real skill.

“We understand that despite procedural hurdles persistently raised by one country, a three-hour-long discussion took place last night on the issue of future participation in the NSG,” - External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup

also asserted that India’s participation in the NSG would have further strengthened nuclear non-proliferation regime and made global nuclear commerce more secure.

Be it Aamir Khan’s re-marks on intolerance in the country, or Ranveer Singh and Arjun Ka-poor’s jokes during the AIB roast last year - there have been instances when Bollywood celebrities have come under the scanner for their words or actions.

“she’s a feminist”. “I don’t say things just be-cause I’m a feminist and I believe in woman power. That word (feminist) has been bastardized; there’s no respect to it anymore. I’m not berating men,” she says. Recently, in an interview, she stated that she would “beat the shit out of her man” if he ever cheats on her.

The much-awaited of-ficial trailer of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film Mirzya is out, and with fantastical locations, beautiful cinematography and soul-searing music, it leaves viewers mesmer-ised. The film launches two star kids – Anil Ka-poor’s son Harshvardhan Kapoor and Tanvi Azmi’s niece Saiyami Kher – in the lead, and the official trailer gives a glimpse

of the intense chemistry that viewers can expect between the two actors. Inspired by the folk tale of “the legend of Mirza – Sahiban”, Mirzya is an epic action-romance set in contemporary times. The film unfolds filled with heightened drama and ac-tion-packed sequences in the visually rich terrain of Rajasthan, contrasted with flashes of the fantastical universe of the folklore set in the awe-inspiring land-

It’s a dramatic begin-ning to the interview. Asked what fuels the choices of his roles, “ Junooniyat [passion] towards work,” says Pulkit Samrat, rather grandly. He chortles at Yami Gautam’s longer response, but the two genially carry the dis-cussion from the film to Gautam’s tag as ‘The Fair & Lovely girl’, and to Mumbai becom-ing their second home. Both actors debuted in Bollywood separate-ly in 2012 with Vicky Donor and Bittoo Boss respectively, and star together for the second time, after Sanam Re . “For me it’s the zeal to surpass what you’ve already done before,” says Gautam about her roles in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Punjabi films. “I

Priyanka says, “It was a joke. Obviously, I’m not going to be violent. But the way it was written, it made it seem like I was serious and that I’ll ac-tually whip the person. It was an analogy of the passion that I would feel [if a man cheats on me], not physical violence.” In one of her past inter-views, the actor had said that celebrities often be-come “soft targets” for the public and the media. Yet, she doesn’t refrain from speaking her mind whenever required. “I know I should be diplo-matic, but I’m a girl with an opinion. I’m not afraid of having one,” says Pri-yanka, adding, “I’m told all the time by my team and my family to shut up and not always say what’s on the tip of my tongue.” The actor has been spend-ing most of her time in the US, where she is shooting for her ongoing television series.

While you get a sense of the modern Rajputana Rajasthan in the current timeline, the legend por-tays a very clannish, Do-thraki-looking (Game of Thrones fans will relate to this) Harshvardhan Ka-poor set against the stark, but gorgeous Ladakh landscape.

He’s a gentle-man, incapable of crass behaviour.” Adding to this, Kushan said, “Those who know me will know I never use filthy words like she has accused me of using. I don’t know people who use language like that. This is character assassination.” For the

uninitiated, Chitrangada walked out of the movie set claiming the director persuaded her to do an unbecoming love-making scene with Nawaz, urg-ing her on with language that was objectionable. Chitrangada added that Kushan’s crass behaviour made her feel even more awkward as she was wearing only a petticoat.

Assured of an Olympic berth, Indian boxer Vikas Krishan (75kg) on Friday settled for a bronze medal in the International Box-ing Association’s (AIBA) World Qualifying Tour-nament after he was ruled out of the semifinal clash owing to a cut on his fore-head. He sustained the cut last night during his quar-terfinal contest against Korea’s Lee Dongyun. The Indian triumphed 3-0 to make the semifi-nal and assure himself of an Olympic quota berth. However, the injury he sustained required stitch-es on his forehead, which forced him out of today’s semifinal clash against Turkmenistan’s Achilov Arslanbek, who got past Italian Cavallaro Salva-tore in his quarterfinal

England’s batsmen should continue to be aggressive and play even more shots, wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has said even as the team’s top-order crumbled against Sri Lan-ka in the tied first one-day international on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 287, England were reduced to 30 for four and then 82 for six before Buttler made 93 and Chris Woakes 95 not out to give the hosts a chance of winning at Trent Bridge. Liam Plun-kett then smashed the last ball of the match for six to earn his team a dra-matic tie against the tour-ing side. “If anything we should come out and play

Manoj will be up against European champion Pat

Also in action today in the evening session would be Com-monwealth Games sil-ver-medallist L Deven-dro Singh (49kg), who will have to beat Span-iard Carmona Heredia Samuel in the semifinal to be assured of a berth in the Olympics as only two quota places are up for grabs in his weight category.

Nobody has forgotten how Anil Kumble sol-diered on with a broken jaw in the Antigua Test in 2002. Less than a month from now, he begins a different innings at the same place. What hasn’t changed between then and now is Kumble’s character – polite yet ag-gressive with leadership qualities that stand out in trying times. The Indian team, brimming with tal-

ent and the potential to become No.1 across all formats, needs this very character to steer them. Much has been written about Kumble’s lack of coaching experience and credentials. Kapil Dev was the last high profile former captain who was appointed In-dia coach and the world knows how that ended. But things have changed. Indian cricket is far more professional than it was

Of all the unimportant things, football is the most important. This is a common saying in Brazil and was heard often in the aftermath of their 1-7 loss to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semi-final. In the light of Brexit, would it also echo through Brit-ain, especially in the co-cooned-with-cash bubble that the Premier League is? Reports in the Brit-ish media have said that the Premiership, by its estimates, is broadcast to 730 million homes in 185 countries. That

is obviously because of the quality of the play-ers involved and reve-nues could be hit should that be compromised. A BBC report on March 31, 2016, said 332 players in England and Scotland would be threatened by Brexit. More than 100 of them would be in the Pre-miership, the report said. Of the 180 non-British EU footballers in Brit-ain, only 23 would have been eligible for the work permit. A report in The Guardian said Brexit would lead to Sunderland losing all goalkeepers,

Thakur said the modal-ities, including whether the current IPL broad-casters Sony will telecast the matches or the rights will be given to a fresh bidder, were to be decid-ed. According to BCCI sources, they didn’t want

to delay the announce-ment because the window was very short and they did not want any other tournament to be slotted in. Thakur said: “We have to speak to the franchises, broadcasters and look at the revenue model. Many countries are willing to host. We have to look at the various time zone (and decide) where we can take it. It will be an annual affair.”

The 2002 riots are a re-pressed memory for many of today’s Ahmedabad youngsters. They say they want to look to the future. Some are pursu-ing careers in law, others in education. A harmony of sorts has been restored between the Hindus and the Muslims, they add. Wedding invites are once again being extended and neither side wants a re-peat of 2002. But in un-spoken ways, the ghosts of the bloodshed remain. It’s been 14 years since a railway coach full of Hindu pilgrims erupted

in flames, sparking three days of rioting in cities across Gujarat. And in the two worst-affected areas -- the Ahmedabad suburb of Naroda Patiya and the Muslim-majority Gulberg housing society -- the scars are still visi-ble.
