Sonia Gandhi named by Italian court in

Augustawestland Chopper scam

In its 225-page judgment, the Italian Court of Appeals addresses several conversations which took place among the three middlemen involved in the Augustawestland Chopper deal with India, Carlos Gerosa, Christian Michel and Guildo Haschke.

These conversations have mentions of “Mrs Gandhi” being the “driving force behind the VIP”, and she and her “closest advisers” Ahmed Patel has to be “the aim of the British high commissioner” to target to materialise the deal.

In February 2010, the Congress-led UPA government had signed a contract with the UK-based helicopter manufacturing company AgustaWestland to purchase 12 AW101 helicopters for the Indian Air Force for Rs 3,600 crore. These choppers were supposed to be used for flying the President of India, the Prime Minister, and other such VVIPs. In February 2013, Italian police arrested Agusta Westland CEO Bruno Spagnolini and Guiseppe Orsi, chairman of AgustaWestland’s parent company Finmeccanica, on charges of paying bribes to win the VVIP chopper deal with the Indian Air Force. This led to the UPA government putting a hold on the deal. The then Defence Minister AK Antony ordered a CBI probe into the matter.

In 2014, the UPA government cancelled the deal with AgustaWestland on

WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

grounds of the integrity pact being violated. Most of the money paid for the deal is said to have been recovered.

Air Chief Marshal SP Tyagi, the former Indian Air Force chief, is being accused of having tweaked with the altitude requirements in favour of AgustaWestland winning the VVIP chopper deal. Prior to Tyagi becoming the Air Force chief, the IAF is said to have opposed purchasing

AgustaWestland’s AW101 as they were not capable of flying in high-altitude areas like Siachen and Tiger Hill.

Tyagi “conceded to reduce” the altitude requirements and brought AgustaWestland back into the race for the chopper deal.

The gloves were off inside and outside the Parliament with the BJP and Congress trading charges over alleged payoffs in the supply of 12 AgustaWestland helicopters

Sonia Gandhi reacted to BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy’s allegations and said, “I am not afraid of anyone cornering me as there is no basis to that.

All accusations they are throwing at us are false. to India after an Italian appeals court handed prison terms to former chiefs of Finmeccanica and AgustaWestland on corruption charges. The BJP asked the then Defence Minister A K Antony to name Congress leaders allegedly involved in the scandal.

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in the Rajya Sabha that “the bribegiver has been convicted and now the bribe-taker

has to be identified”. He said the written admission by the alleged middleman (James Christian Michel) has to be examined and an “investigation is underway”.

Sonia Gandhi reacted to BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy’s allegations and said, “I am not afraid of anyone cornering me as there is no basis to that.

Barack Obama to call for

Nuclear weapons free planet

Obama the first American president to visit Hiroshima -– the site of the first nuclear attack by the US on Japan -– later this month will give a call for nuclear weapons-free planet. He will be the first sitting US president to tour the site where America first dropped an atomic bomb in 1945, killing an estimated 140,000 people.

“If you would have imagined that one of our closest partners and allies in Asia was Japan just 70 years ago, it would have been very difficult to imagine, given the hostilities between our two countries. But yet that’s exactly what has occurred, based on a commitment of the leaders of our two countries to forge closer bonds. We’ve also seen deeper ties between our peoples. And even as we speak, there are thousands of US military service members who are stationed in Japan,” Earnest said.

“All of this is a testament to the way that the US-Japan relationship has dramatically changed over the last 70 years and the president is certainly interested in further marking the progression of that relationship by visiting Hiroshima,” he said.

“The President will have an opportunity to visit the Peace Park, and offer up

“President Obama has been a tireless leader in the global effort to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and I commend him and the Administration for their strong focus on this vital challenge for global peace and security,” Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said.

“I commend President Obama’s decision to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial which serves as a poignant reminder of the

devastating cost of nuclear warfare, especially on civilian communities,” Senator Mazie K Hirono said.

“We applaud President Obama’s decision to visit Hiroshima, in part to recognise the innocent victims of war and in particular the experience and work of atomic bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — the hibakusha — who have worked tirelessly to remind the world why nuclear weapons must never be used again,” said Daryl G Kimball, executive director of the independent, non-partisan Arms Control Association.

“It’s time for a US President to visit Hiroshima’s Peace Park in Japan to honour those who died during the atomic bombing and to affirm the goal of a nuclear weapons free world. At this point, it’s not enough to repeat the words Obama has said several times since his historic Prague speech calling for the abolishment of nuclear weapons. Obama

must announce actions he will take in his remaining months as President that will actually bring the world closer to being free of nuclear weapons,” it said.

“In a complex world of unsolved old problems and mounting new challenges, we have the vision and the ability to solve this one so that future generations might be spared from a nuclear attack. The President’s commemoration at Hiroshima will put this aspiration in stark relief,” Senator Ben Cardin said.

The US continues to be the only country to have used nuclear weapons. It means our country bears a special responsibility to lead the world in an effort to eliminate them. This goal of a nuclear weapons free world has been sought by both Democratic and Republican presidents. It is a goal that would make our country and our planet safer,” Earnest said.

The average European citizen is currently worth around $86,000. This compares poorly to the other developed markets as the average wealth of a person in Australia has increased by over 100 per cent and in Canada by over 50 per cent in the same period.

The study says that one of the major issues that has deterred the wealth creation in Europe is the migration of wealthy people out of Europe, mainly to countries such as USA, Canada, New Zealand, the Caribbean and Australia.

Rising income tax rates deterred the new business formation and loss of jobs to Asia, particularly in the manufacturing sector and inability of certain countries to handle large pension obligations (like Greece). Europe is expected to continue to lose the primary sector jobs to Asia, particularly to emerging countries such as, China, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Vietnam.

In terms of wealth growth, certain Eastern European countries such as Poland is likely to perform well, the report said. The report refers ‘Wealth’ as net assets of a person. It includes all their assets (property, cash, equity, business interests) less any liabilities.

The United States’ “revenue raising” move to double the fees for short-term H-1B and L-1visas will be countered during two-day consultations beginning in Washington on Wednesday.

“If they are using it as a revenue resource raising measure, then it opens the Pandora’s box for us also to generate money whenever a difference exists between the WTO’s applied and bound rates,” a commerce department official said.

“There is a general feeling that when everyone is talking of trade liberalisation, the US’ measure is trade restrictive.

Industry feels that this has hit

The increase in H-1B and L-1 visa fee issue has been raised with the US at various levels including by the Prime Minister with the US President and recently by the Finance Minister with the US Trade Representative, Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and Deputy National Security Advisor Caroline Atkinson, the Commerce and Industry Ministry had said, “it was requested not to incorporate such discriminatory and punitive

measures into legislations without due process of notice and comment, as it would seriously impede the on going efforts to take the India-US bilateral trade and investment relationship forward”.

“India has also taken up the matter on US visa fee hike in the dispute settlement body of the WTO,” she said.

With this legislation in place, 50:50 companies would now need to pay an enhanced fee of $4500 for each L-1 visa and $4000 for each H-1B visa as compared to $2250 and $2000 previously.

Kondalampatti Hamlet of handloom silks

WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

The process of manufacturing a Kondalampatti handloom Saree starts with dyeing the silk yarn.

Dyeing is the coloring process of the yarn by dipping the yarn in the boiling colour water in very high temperature.

The durability of colour will be high, when it is done in high temperature. Dyeing of the yarn is done by making sure that the color is spread uniformly throughout the yarn and it does not affect the quality of the yarn. The coloring process is a very crucial step in getting a good colourful saree.

The colours are applied as per the specifications of the designers.

Some times customers who orders for a designer Saree also used to give their preferences. After coloring the silk yarn is dried in shade. Drying yarn in sun can be harmful.

Weaving The yarn is converted to thread by a charka and is loaded as warp which is called pavvu. It is then loaded into the loom for actual weaving. It is rolled over small sticks to use for weaving weft.

One pavvu can make 6 sarees. It will take approximately 2 months to complete the weaving of one pavvu. Kondalampatti handloom sarees are traditionally woven in the interlocked-weft technique.

an integral part of the lifestyle of

BAIGAS

Baiga is a tribe found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand states of India. The largest number of Baigas are found in Baiga-chuk in Mandla district and Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh. Their sub-castes are Bijhwar, Narotia, Bharotiya, Nahar, Rai Bhaina, and Kadh Bhaina.

The Baiga tribes practice shifting cultivation in forest areas. They say that they never plough the Earth, because it would be akin to scratching the breast of their Mother and they could never ask their Mother to produce food from the same patch of earth time and time again.

Baigas used to live a semi-nomadic life and practiced Bewar, or ‘dahiya’ cultivation, out of respect, not aggression.

These techniques, rather than being a cause of deforestation, have been shown to be effective

conservation devices, employed for centuries by tribal peoples. Courageous woodsman and hunters, the Baigas of Central India were reluctant to do work for others. They saw themselves as people of the forest, who could only live on the produce of the forest.

It was below the dignity of a Baiga to become a labourer.

Baigas do not interact, even with other tribals like the Gonds, as interaction with any other tribe is a crime for them. After a death in the family, the Baigas leave the house and build another one. Tattooing is an integral JUNE 2016 | WWW.AZWISHESH.COM

It is believed that this tribe is an offshoot of the Bhuiya tribe of Chhota Nagpur. A distinguishing feature of the Baiga tribe is that their women are famous for sporting tattoos of various kinds on almost all parts of their body. The women who work as tattooing artists belong to the Ojha, Badni and Dewar tribes of M.P., and are called Godharins.

They are extremely knowledgeable about the different types of tattoos preferred by various tribes.

Their mothers traditionally pass on this knowledge to them. Tattooing amongst the tribals commences with the approach of winter and continues until summer.

The ancestors of the Baigas spoke an Austroasiatic language, however no trace of it is left now. Some Baigas have mentioned “Baigani� as their mother tongue. Baigani is now

recognized as a variety of Chhattisgarhi influenced by Gondi and Western Hindi.

Most Baigas communicate with outsiders in Hindi and some of them also knows a few local languages like Gondi or Marathi depending on the region they live in.

Baigas eat coarse grain, kodo and kutki, drink pej, eat little flour. One of the prime foods is pej that can be made from grounding macca or from the water left from boiling rice. This food is much better and healthier than many other food that they eat. They eat several items from the forest that includes primarily Chirota Bhaji, Gular leaves such as Chirota, chinch, chakora, sarroota, peepal etc.

They also eat BirarKand, Kadukand and other rhizomes. Mushroom is also a delicacy. Numerous fruits such as mango, char, jamun, tendu are also eaten. They hunt as well, primarily fish and small mammals.

Physiologically, your abs are like any other muscle in your body.

2. Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth when you do crunches. It will help align your head properly, which helps reduce neck strain.

5. Situps increase your range of motion, which makes your abdominals work harder and longer.

6. When doing lat pulldowns, don’t wrap your thumb around the bar. Instead, place it on top, alongside your index finger.

7. If you hurt your right arm, don’t stop exercising your left arm.

8. Do standing and seated calf raises. You’ll get better results.

9. Roll a golf ball across the carpet to improve your putting. The distance doesn’t matter.

11. Bend your wrists to work your biceps harder. That is, extend them backward slightly—and hold them that way—while you do arm curls.

12. Increase the speed of your running strides—not their length—to get faster.

13. Regular training in a weight belt actually weakens your abdominal and lowerback muscles.

14. Practice cycling one-legged to ride more efficiently. This forces you to concentrate on pulling up at the bottom of the stroke, which better distributes the work among the major leg muscles.

WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

Creating food habits for your toddler Breast milk or infant formula meets all of your baby’s nutritional needs, until around six months of age. Breast milk or infant formula is still an important source of nutrition, even after your baby has started on solid foods.

Starting solid foods too early is not good for the baby as her swallowing skills may not be ready. Her digestive system may also not be ready to cope with foods. It is also important not to leave it too late to start solid foods as this can lead to nutrient deficiencies (such as iron deficiency) and feeding problems.

Most babies push the food out of their mouth for a little while, when they start learning to take food from the spoon. This is normal and does not mean they don’t like the food. It may take many tastes before a new food is accepted.

Offer a breastfeed (or infant formula) first, then try small amounts of solid food. You may have to wait an hour after a feed to give your baby solid foods. Begin with a smooth consistency and progress to thicker and lumpier textures as soon as your baby is eating a range of smooth foods.

Start by offering once a day and then two to three times a day as your baby gets used to solid foods. Babies need extra iron in their diet at around six months, so it is important to include at least one iron-rich food regularly in your baby’s first foods to prevent iron deficiency.

Other than the use of ironrich first foods in your baby’s diet, there are no strict rules on the order in which foods should be introduced or the number of new foods that can be introduced at a time.

A good first food to start with is iron-fortified baby rice cereal (made up with cow’s milk, breast milk or infant formula).

Stick

to Lip-locks Identified as the lip-lock hero of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi found tough to come out of that image. At a point of time, when he even tried to come out of that image, the makers refused his request and made him taste the lips of many new entrants and also the star heroines.

That is the impact he made with the lip lock scenes on screen. But it is his Azhar movie, which came out of such episodes and concentrated mostly on the real life story of the star cricketer Azharuddin.

Emraan’s selfishness in Azhar

78

When the roles in a biopic are supposed to remind the real life characters, Emraan is so passionate of himself that, he could only show himself in Azhar’s character.

Why does Azhar film failed to suit Emraan and what is the impact his earlier films did damage to his character in Azhar. Let’s get it into detail, digging his film career.

A bang with Murder Emraan’s first movie Footpath failed to do well at the box office, but his performance as the firing guy, impressed the top film makers. That is why, Emraan was offered the antagonist role in Murder. It was then he got the bang, he was waiting.

The film did extremely well.

More of all, it is Emraan and Mallika Sherawat’s erotic love WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

making scenes, that shocked the Bollywood. The film was well received by the youth and has even garnered good revenue. Starting from there, Emraan’s erotic journey went on exceeding the expectations with every new film.

Zeher, Ashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar etc are few of his films that concreted his image in the Bollywood.

Gangster gave a

different image But unlike the romantic star, he got a different image with Gangster film. His performance was applauded by many and that even made the filmfare awards presenters to nominate Emraan. In that sense, not just filmfare, Emraan was even nominated by the prestigious IIFA for his performance in ‘Gangster’ movie.

His acting skills in this film are on the next level and that made him get nominated in several popular awards like Filmfare, IIFA, Screen, Stardust etc.

“Once Upon a Time in Mumbai” after long gap After Gangster, Emraan found it tough to get a right film and it was after 4 years of Gangster, in 2011, the liplock hero got ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ movie offer, sharing the screen with the senior star Ajay Devgan.

His acting skills in this film are on the next level and that made him get nominated

in several popular awards like Filmfare, IIFA, Screen, Stardust etc.

First award with Murder 2 Murder 2 added to his films list, making him bang the first award of his film career from Stardust.

In most of such films, Emraan was identified as romantic hero with a reserved kind of acting. But Azhar on the

contrast need to hide all such qualities and adopt the star cricketer into him. In the process of adopting, Emraan really did struggled a lot, and finally all such struggles could not fetch him much.

Tigers and Raaz Reboot are Emraan’s upcoming films of the year, hope he would get back into his identity again, scoring good hits with those films.

Natural Beauty Tips for Skin

WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

Getting clear glowing skin is a dream for all, especially the women. We try every new face wash, sunscreen, anti-ageing cream that hits the market.

If dry skin and dead skin, oily skin and patchy skin weren’t enough - you now have combination skin! And we are ever so willing to try anything under the sun to get beautiful skin. But it is not an overnight miracle.

Dos and Don’ts for Beautiful Skin Make sure you always remove your makeup before hitting the bed. The skin needs to breathe overnight. Makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt.

At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin. This will leave you with a more healthy glow and brighter skin.

Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, whenever you

go out. Make sure the label reads ‘noncomedogenic’ or ‘nonacnegenic’ so that the product does not tend to block pores.

Eat fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Consider a low-sugar diet, which can keep insulin levels down.

Don’t eat spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food.

Instead favour blander foods such as rice, oatmeal and applesauce.

Running, jogging and yoga will give your body the necessary blood circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process of your entire body. You will notice a glow on your face after working out.

Apply a toner to help minimize oil production before heading out.

Exfoliate after, and then apply shea butter or olive oil to moisturize the skin.

Long term

Relationship are healthy

Every successful relationship is successful in it’s own unique way. A successful long-term relationship include everything from personality traits such as your emotional temperament, social style, values and even your beliefs, to one of the more commonly sought after qualities - a sense of humour.

Remember the old adage “nobody’s perfect”. When you fall for someone, your initial attraction can stop you noticing your new partner’s flaws or at least override them. But as things progress, you learn more about each other both the good and the bad.

There are various stages to a relationship. As you look to make someone a part of your life for long-term, you may question whether the relationship is right for you. Going slow diminishes the risk of that.

Being true to yourself is crucial to making a relationship last. Being honest with yourself about what you want out of life and out of your relationship is a must. Be mindful to tell the truth when asked and do your best to be upfront. You may need to make room for your

partner in your life, but not at the expense of everything else.

No need to compromise your independence. Quality time in any form is important in making a relationship last. Don’t be afraid to let your guard down. If you’re hiding your feelings, don’t expect your other half to be a mind reader. Spend time together just talking.

Everyday courtesies are easy to maintain and provide a low key, but effective way of letting your other half know that you are valued and cared for. The same goes for those little things, touches, kisses, hand-holding, small, inexpensive gifts, that longterm couples can sometimes take for granted to the point where they stop doing them.

INDIAN HISTORY

Nightmare of

Arab rulers Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty The Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty, also known as the Pratihara Empire, was an Indian imperial power that ruled much of Northern India from the mid-7th to the 11th century. The rulers were members of the Gurjara who were followers of Hinduism. Some of their clans later came to be known as Rajputs. They ruled first at Ujjain and later at Kannauj.

INDIAN HISTORY

The Gurjara-Pratiharas were instrumental in containing Arab armies from moving east of the Indus River.

Nagabhata I defeated the Arab army under Junaid and Tamin in the Battle of Rajasthan. Under Nagabhata II, the Gurjara-Pratiharas became the most powerful dynasty in northern India.

Nagabhata II was succeeded by his son Ramabhadra, who ruled briefly, and was succeeded by his son Mihira Bhoja I. Under Bhoja and his successor Mahendrapala I, the Pratihara Empire reached its peak of prosperity and power.

The extent the empire reached west to the border of Sindh, east to Bengal, north to the Himalayas, and south past the Narmada.

The expansion once again triggered the power struggle for the control of the Indian Subcontinent, known as the Tripartite Struggle, with the Rashtrakuta Empire and Pala Empire. During this period, Imperial Pratihara took the title Maharajadhiraja of Aryavarta (Great King of Kings of Northern India).

The power of the Pratiharas was weakened by dynastic strife. It was further diminished as a result of a great raid from the Deccan, WWW.AZWISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

led by the Rashtrakuta ruler Indra III, who at about 916 sacked Kannauj. Under a succession of rather obscure rulers, the Pratiharas never regained their former influence. Their feudatories became more and more powerful, one by one throwing off their allegiance until by the end of the 10th century the Pratiharas controlled little more than the

Gangetic Doab.

Harichandra is said to have laid the foundation of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty in the 6th century. He created a small kingdom at Bhinmal around 550 A.D. after the fall of the Gupta Empire. The Harichandra line of GurjaraPratiharas established the state of Marwar, based at Mandore near modern

Jodhpur, which grew to dominate Rajasthan. The Pratihara rulers of Marwar also built the temple-city of Osian.

Gurjara-Pratihara are known for their sculptures, carved panels and open pavilion style temples. The greatest development of Gurjara-Pratihara style of temple building took place at

Khajuraho.

Historians of India, have wondered at the slow progress of Muslim invaders in India, as compared with their rapid advance in other parts of the world. The Arabs possibly only stationed small invasions independent of the Caliph. It is believed that it was the power of the Gurjara-Pratihara army

that effectively barred the progress of the Muslims beyond the confines of Sindh, their first conquest for nearly three hundred years.

In the light of later events this might be regarded as the “Chief contribution of the Gurjara Pratiharas to the history of India�.

That sounds the quirky nature of RGV, which has actually made him favorite to the people of his mindset. While one side of the audience, treat him as a mentally retarded filmmaker, several others treat him as someone, who do not mind to speak heart-out, with the least concern of the consequences.

His comments on Pawan Kalyan, Rajinikanth has led to severe controversy, where the fans of the both super stars declared war on the director.

Coming back to his films, RGV is well known for bringing the biopics onto the screens. Most of his films based on biopics like Raktha Charitra, Killing Veerappan etc, have witnessed success at the box office. screens. Most of his films based on biopics like Raktha Charitra, Killing Veerappan etc, have witnessed success at the box office.

Awards kept on knocking his door National awards, Nandi awards, Filmfare awards, IIFA awards and several other prestigious awards used to knock his door regularly, with the films like Siva, Shool, Sarkaar, Satya, Rangeela etc.

Record in the disasters too But he is even the director, who probably faced the highest number of disasters.

But the fear of failure never put his foot back, and moved forward experimenting on several story lines.

King of biopics

Layed new paths in film making

Coming back to his films, RGV is well known for bringing the biopics onto the

He has a record of completing a film in 5 days with the least budget (Dongala Mutha) and it is he, who used flow cam

technology for ice cream movie, which boosted new thoughts to the small film makers and this is even appreciated by the producers, as the cost of making the film, would drastically go down.

Veerappan and Rai would make him bounce back bigger After Killing Veerappan, which only dealt with the police sketching to kill the criminal, RGV is now dealing with the life story of him, titling the film as Veerappan. The recently released trailer was appreciated nationwide, and so the film has acquired good craze and hype, even before the release.

Not just Veerappan, RGV is even making the biopic of Muthappa Rai, former gangster, titling the film as ‘Rai’.

As both are biopics in which RGV is the master in dealing, these projects are expected to set the stature of the controversial king in a new level and let us hope it turns true, by exposing an Indian film maker talent worldwide.

A brilliant birthday month for you, as everything you want will manifest.

In fact, be careful for what you ask for. New opportunities will keep you busy till the 8th, post which work will be slow due to travels and pick up after June 24.

You might work with new people this month.

Delegate more, or you will burn yourself out.

Health will need attention due to exhaustion round June 16-28. Family life will be stable throughout the month.

TAURUS Too much to do, since May was not your favourite month. All your ideas and plans will move forward post the 7th and you can expect people to acknowledge or understand them post the 15th. Clarity about an ongoing project will come through after 12th. You might even go through a role or job change post June 17.

This month, new associations or tie ups are on the cards. Work will be slow from 24th to 29th.
