The next polls is to bring trifurcation of the state on to the political agenda
It is a sign of the stakes in Uttar Pradesh that all political parties already seem to be in election mode. But UP politics will be particularly intense, because like the state itself, the character of politics has very little organic identity left. At one level, there is considerable evidence that voting patterns in UP are a lot more fluid than standard analysis that tries to correlate social identity with voting patterns allows for. For instance, part of Mayawati’s Dalit base has on occasion deserted her, particularly during the 2014 elections, and there is growing evidence of fluidity in the Muslim vote as well. This is also a state where the distinction between national and local elections is often quite clear. In 2009, Congress did well in the national elections, but failed to convert it into a state victory. In 2014, the BJP did spectacularly well. How much of those gains can endure? The state is characterised by deep genuine multi-party competition, with little likelihood of it congealing into a competition of two blocks. Each of the four major parties — the SP, BJP, BSP and Congress — aspires to form a government on their own. In UP, almost all parties have conspired to put a lid on the politics of inequality within the state. There is considerable variation in the development experience of eastern, central and western UP. But most unconscionably, whole regions like Bundelkhand that have suffered immensely have been sidelined by all political parties. One measure of that marginalisation is the fact that all demands for the trifurcation of UP have been taken off the political agenda. Small states are not a panacea. But the case for breaking up UP is quite compelling. Any party half-serious about UP’s development would at least try and make trifurcation a political issue; Mayawati had once proposed it but has backed off. The Congress lost considerable political credibility by raising concerns over Bundelkhand, only to avoid the issue of statehood. The deep question of regional inequality within the state cannot be addressed within the existing state framework. The suppression of the trifurcation argument is a suppression of the debate over UP’s development itself, and the character of its politics will not change unless the state is itself broken up. But in this election in UP, the politics of memory will probably dominate the politics of hope. All the four political parties carry too much of the weight of the past. The debate will not be over which party can bring about a decisive transformation; it will be over which party’s baggage weighs the least. Mayawati, to her credit, did stabilise law and order in UP. But even her core constituents felt a sharp sense that the promised transformation in the state did not come. In retrospect, though, Mayawati should gain from grudging acknowledgment of her achievement. Akhilesh Yadav was elected with considerable hope; he seemed to exacerbate all the vices of the Samajawadi Party rather than accentuate its virtues. The Congress is still struggling with its betrayal of the minorities during the ’80s. It has no achievement to point to, no ground on which it can stand. It is struggling in other ways too: It does not have credibility, identity, leader or organisation. In some ways, a Congress-Mayawati political accommodation would make a lot of political sense.

Kareena on working with Saif: Don’t think that’s happening anytime soon
As I type this, I have nothing at hand except a blank Word doc and a blank mind. Friends suggest kindly that a topic has been handed to me on a platter as it were — the comment about “feeling like a raped woman” that Salman Khan made so tactlessly at a press conference. I try to dredge up some emotion to write an indignant piece condemning the Salman comment. I come up with nothing. Ennui, that’s what I feel. And nullity. And a dreary sense of déjà vu. What do you say? In what words? How do you explain concepts so totally alien to so many of us? Where is ground zero? Salman’s phrase is one I have grown up hearing and I still hear it. It’s used by macho men, by boys wanting to sound macho, by men who are feminists, and by women who
want to sound cool. ‘The CEO raped the marketing team at the meeting today.’ ‘Team X raped Team Y in the second innings.’ ‘If I am late to class again, the Prof. will rape me.’ So it goes. And always, the tone is grudging admiration. ‘Rape’ used as a synonym for overpower, crush, rout, annihilate, lay waste -words associated with power, not just ordinary power but overwhelming power. ‘Rape’ used as an analogy for a conquest so definitive that there’s no
coming back from it. And the use of the phrase, the tone the implication, one more time, one more celebrity has left me utterly voided. How do you feel anger with a Salman Khan, a tough talking, muscled bhai who plays out his roles in real life, when the founding editor of Manushi, one of India’s pioneering feminist journals, calls it a ‘harmless statement’? We need not pillory Salman but for an aware feminist to call the phrase ‘harmless’ shows how deep the rot goes.
ing to me. I thought Anurag sir would be strict and I had certain kind of perception about him, but he was warm and interactive. “He nurtures his actors to perfection. He has taught me a lot. Anurag sir is someone every actor would want to work with. I feel really fortunate to have this opportunity so early,” Sobhita said. The newbie is playing the role of Simmy in the film and she describes her character as a domesticated wolf. “My character is
like a domesticated wolf. She plays Raghav’s love interest. As a person she has very strong sense of self. She is mysterious, intriguing, but at the same time very enduringly vulnerable. The relationship between her and Raghav is romantic but in a very twisted way.” Inspired by the real-life story of serial killer Raman Raghav, the film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles of a psycho killer and a police officer.
So recently, when a cancer patient came along with her daughter to visit the sets of her favourite comedian’s show, Kapil was touched. He not only halted his shooting to meet his fan but also

The lady interacted with the comedians and complimented Kapil and his gang for making her laugh, adding that TKSS was the only show she watched on TV.
Anurag Kashyap nurtures his actors: Sobhita Dhulipala Actress Sobhita
Agency | Mumbai Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have shared screen space in films in Tashan and Kurbaan. But both the films bombed at the box office. And since then the real-life couple hasn’t been seen together on screen. And Kareena thinks that filmmakers no longer want to cast Saif and her together on 70mm. Kareena, who has been lauded for her role in the latest release Udta Punjab, was last seen
sharing screen space with Saif in the 2014 film Happy Ending, in which she did a cameo. Asked when she will next be seen with Saif on screen, Kareena told IANS: “I don’t think that’s going to happen for a while. Maybe like 20 years later... I mean nobody (filmmakers) has even offered us any film. I don’t think that they ( filmmakers) see me and Saif as an onscreen pair.” The 35-year-old actor says no maker has come
up with a script where the two can star together. “I mean nobody has come up with a script and it doesn’t really matter because I see him everyday at home,” she said. On the work front, Kareena will soon be seen sharing screen space with Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar in Veera Di Wedding. Saif, on the other hand, will next be seen in Rangoon, which also stars Kangana Ranaut and Shahid Kapoor.
ie (that’s meant to make him seem inconspicuous but has the opposite effect) in a counselling session with his psychiatrist, played by Radhika Apte. Unlike the neutral environs most psychiatrists prefer to work in, Apte’s character prefers a stark white home that has some bold red artwork positioned just so. She’s also not much
of a one for following other clinical conventions — we find out that she isn’t just Sapan’s shrink, she has also been his close friend since childhood. Sapan tells his doctor that he’s met a woman, a month ago; they ‘clicked’ and she’s moved in with him. Kriti, Sapan’s girlfriend, suffers from agoraphobia (possibly Kunder’s nod to the condition Radhika Apte’s character suffers from in her previous film, Phobia) so she never goes out or meets people. She prefers to stay home and focus on her writing, just like Sapan. She also prefers to stay away from social media.

Cabinet approves Rs 10,000 crore ‘Fund of Funds for Startups’
Agency | New Delhi In a bid to extend funding support for startups, the Union cabinet on Wednesday approved the establishment of Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) at Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi) for contribution to various alternative investment funds (AIF). “The union cabinet has approved the establishment of Fund of Funds for Startups at Small Industries Development Bank of India for contribution to various alternative investment funds, registered with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), which would extend funding support to start-ups,” a statement said. The corpus of Rs 10,000 crore for FFS will be built up over the 14th and 15th Finance Commission cycles, subject to progress of the scheme and availability of funds, it said. The government provided Rs 500 crore to the corpus in 2015-16 and Rs.600 crore was earmarked in the 2016-17. Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) will monitor and review performance in line with the Start up India Action Plan while SIDBI will manage day to day operations of FFS. “The fund is expected to generate employment for 18 lakh people on full deployment, a statement said. A corpus of Rs10,000 crore could potentially be the nucleus for catalysing Rs 60,000 crore of equity investment and twice as much debt investment, it said.
Agency | San Diego If Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon and the U.S. Open to complete a Grand Slam, he’ll have a big fan in the last man to do it. Rod Laver knows what it takes to complete tennis’ ultimate achievement, having won the Grand Slam as an amateur in 1962 and again as a pro in 1969. Djokovic is halfway there heading into Wimbledon, which starts Monday. “I think he’s got a good shot at pulling it off and I’d be happy seeing it,” Laver said over lunch at La Costa, the
golf and tennis resort near his home. “You don’t own the territory. It’s a feather in his cap if he can pull off a Grand Slam. He’s got two already.” Djokovic completed a career slam by winning the French Open earlier this month. That gave him the rarity of holding all four major titles at once. Rarer still would be a true grand slam, winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open in the same season. Laver, the red-headed “Rocket” from Australia, is the last man to do it, 47 summers
ago. While Djokovic’s four straight major titles aren’t the ultimate slam, “owning the four at one time, it’s one hell of an effort,” Laver said. For perspective, when Laver won his second Grand Slam, Richard Nixon was in the White House, the Beatles were about to release “Abbey Road,” and Neil Armstrong had just taken man’s first steps on the moon. “I was thrilled it happened for me,” Laver said. “You don’t start off by thinking, ‘I’m going to win a Grand Slam.’ My thoughts were just, ‘Hey, I’m in the event. I entered. That’s what happened in ‘69. I told my wife, ‘I want to enter all the tournaments.’ “Known for his powerful left arm, Laver won Wimbledon four times, the Australian Open three times and the U.S. and French championships twice each. He added six Grand Slam titles in men’s doubles and three in mixed doubles.

The league has already unveiled Alessandro Rosa Vieira, the sport’s most renowned player fondly known as Falcao, and 19 other international futsalers earlier, including ex-Portugal star Deco who was the first marquee signing.

Kom, a household name in India and the subject of a Bollywood film in 2014, always faced an uphill battle to secure a spot. Only one wild card entry was on offer for each of the three women’s boxing categories in Rio in August. “The IOC has ruled

So it’s a call that they have taken and we have to fall in line,” said Narsi.
Time to change national holiday, jokes Jamie Vardy snub Arsenal transfer as he signs new contract with Leicester Iceland coach after win over Austria “Leicester City have Agency | Paris
Iceland co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson jokingly suggested Wednesday’s historic 2-1 win over Austria at Euro 2016 would force the Nordic island country to change its national holiday. Iceland, with a population of around 330,000, is the smallest nation to qualify for a major finals and its national team strode into the last 16 and a meeting with England after consigning Austria to a premature exit. “I would guess we will change the national holiday. It’s normally on June 17, but they will probably change it now. “That’s how much (this result) means to us,” said Hallgrimsson, refer-

Iceland, who drew their opening two Group F matches, were already on course for the knockout phase despite seeing Alessandro Schoepf cancel out Jon Dadi Bodvarsson’s early opener at the Stade de France. But substitute
Arnor Ingvi Traustason rounded off a 94th-minute counter-attack as the Austrians pressed forward in desperation to set up a “dream” tie against England in Nice on Monday. “I think everybody who was watching the game realised how much it meant to us. We were willing to sacrifice everything to win,” said Hallgrimsson.
Euro 2016: Ronaldo rescues Portugal, Iceland, Ireland into last 16 Agency | Lyon
Cristiano Ronaldo hit a double in an “insane” European Championship 3-3 thriller against Hungary that gave him a new record and secured Portugal a last-16 place. Iceland set up a last-16 clash with England as substitute Ingvi Traustason’s last-gasp winner earned the Euro debutants a famous 2-1 win over Austria. Republic of Ireland scored their own memorable 1-0 win over Italy and Belgium beat Sweden by the same score to both move into the last 16, ending the international career of Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic in defeat . “I am proud, this was my last game in the national team, I have many fantastic memories,” said the
34-year-old Ibrahimovic. The Irish, Belgians, Iceland and Portugal join hosts France, Wales, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, England, Poland, Spain, Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Hungary in the last 16. The Republic will take on hosts France in Lyon on Sunday. Ronaldo made a record 17th European Championship appearance against Hungary and twice rescued his side from an embarrassing early exit as surprise package Hungary
