After row over Union minister's remarks, CM Fadnavis says he'll urge PM to change name of IIT Bombay

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday that he will write to the Prime Minister requesting him to replace Bombay with Mumbai in the name of the city's Indian Institute of Technology. This comes after a row over Union Minister for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh's remarks during his speech at IIT Bombay on Monday. Singh had remarked on a lighter note, As far as IIT Bombay is concerned, thank god it still has this name. You have not changed it to Mumbai. So that's another compliment to you. And also true for Madras. It remains IIT Madras. Singh also lauded IIT Bombay, which was set up in 1958, saying the institute had been a very consistent partner of the Department of Science and Technology. Opposition parties, particularly the Raj Thackeray-led MNS, subsequently raked up a controversy, saying that BJP leaders never let go of any opportunity to insult Marathi, Mumbai and Maharashtra. In response, CM Fadnavis said that BJP leader Rambhau Naik was instrumental in getting Bombay renamed as Mumbai. We are working to remove the remaining references to Bombay in Mumbai. I personally will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Human Resource Ministry to replace the name of IIT Bombay with IIT Mumbai. Some people raise the issue for the sake of controversy and forget their children's school names. They never make a complaint and write to change the name of their children's schools, Fadnavis said. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's children studied in Bombay Scottish and Don Bosco English medium schools in Mumbai. Raj Thackeray alleged that the BJP-led Union government planned to bring Mumbai under the control of the Centre like they planned with Chandigarh. With the Mumbai Metropolitan region expansion plan, they are connecting it to Gujarat so that projects can be taken away easily from Maharashtra to Gujarat. Singh's statement has brought out a hidden truth about what the BJP and its leaders think about Mumbai and Maharashtra. Singh is from Jammu, but still he stirred this controversy just to get pats from two Gujarati leaders, the MNS leader said. Bombay was officially renamed Mumbai in 1995 by the state government to honour the local goddess Mumbadevi after whom the city is named, and to shed the remnants of British colonial rule.

Amore and More: a candid chat with the new Italian Consul General in B'luru Giandomenico Milano

With two post-graduate degrees under his belt, the newly appointed Consul General of Italy in Bengaluru is no stranger to exam stress, but something recently took him right back to those times: wine sommelier exams. I graduated in July after writing three different exams, it was kind of scary to back and feel that anxiety, laughs Giandomenico Milano, as a spread of Italian snacks, including tiny amaretti, cannoli and pieces of focaccia beckon the reporters gathered for an informal chat with him. He adds, Ive always had an interest in wine and the culture behind it. This programme was two years of studying the chemistry, geography and the history of it. It was fascinating. Its been a busy three months for Milano, with getting settled into a new city with his wife and two kids and planning one of his first major events as the Consul General The Week of Italian Cuisine in the World. He notes that the initiative is far more than a culinary celebration and describes it as an expression of Italian culture, identity and values. Bengalurus dynamic dining landscape, he observes, makes it an ideal setting for such a cultural exchange. Welcoming chef Italo Bassi, he adds, enhances the programmes significance, with his Michelin recognition, deep grounding in Italian tradition and contemporary creative flair. Sharing his first impressions of the city, Milano says, Id say theres no better place than Bengaluru, even though Im a bit biased. I think we Italians and Bengalureans have a lot of energy and the same values rooted in tradition and innovation. Its this mix he wants his tenure in Bengaluru to embody. He says, When people think of Italy, they think of food, fashion, art and history which we are happy about but more than that, Italy is also always reinventing itself in areas like robotics, aerospace and design innovation. We recently had a strong Italian presence at Bangalore Tech Summit too. Even though there are just roughly 100 Italians in the city, many of whom Milano has met, he reveals, Surprisingly, there are also 100 Italian companies in the city involved in a mix of IT, innovation, food and hospitality. Milano, who grew up in the Molise region in Southern Italy nestled between Rome and Naples, describes it as a not very well-known but an authentic place rooted in tradition. He adds, I had a very free upbringing in the countryside and a happy childhood but I wanted to see the world. Perhaps thats been one of the drivers to have this career to connect and discover. That desire to discover led him to jobs at embassies in Ethiopia, Indonesia and Sri Lanka before bringing him to Bengaluru, but this is not his first brush with India. When I was in Sri Lanka, India was close so I travelled to Delhi, Rajasthan, Mumbai, Aurangabad, Kerala and saw the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Ajanta Ellora caves in Maharashtra. Travelling gives you flexibility and opens your mind to face any counterpart, he says. However, his favourite has been a recent trip to Mysuru, as he says, I went during Vijayadashami the palace was stunning and the parade impressive. Milano also has plans for events across music, art, and technology. A multilingual speaker of Spanish, Italian, English, and French, one area of interest is language, as he explains, There are not many Italian speakers in Bengaluru and the South compared to North India so wed really like to encourage that. Were looking into organising opportunities to meet and have conversations with an Italian speaker. Has he picked up any Indian languages? Milano says, I try to include a few Kannada phrases in speeches with the help of my colleagues, but I need to improve! So far, my biggest problem has been with learning the alphabet. With that, it was time to say ciao (and namaskara) to the Consul General, the sweetness of amaretti lingering on the tongue with the promise to return for more tastes of Italy that he hopes to bring to ooru.

Eknath Shinde says friction between BJP and Shiv Sena a media creation, denies complaining to Amit Shah

Breaking the silence over his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said he is not the sort of person who goes to Delhi to complain against state BJP leaders. He said that any issues within the Mahayuti alliance will be sorted at the state level. Shinde's clarification came after reports that he was unhappy at being sidelined in the decision-making of the BJP-led Mahayuti government and had hence rushed to Delhi to express his grievances to Shah. The meeting between the two leaders lasted for 50 minutes. Shinde said the friction between the Shiv Sena and BJP was a media creation. He clarified that there are no issues between the two alliance partners who both follow the Hindutva ideology. He said that he had a meeting with CM Devendra Fadnavis, where they decided that neither of them would poach each other's party leaders and workers. I also conveyed to my party leaders in the state that they should not induct anyone from the BJP, and the same promise has been given by the BJP as well. We have decided not to do anything that will create trouble in the alliance. We are very much clear since the beginning that state-level issues will be sorted at the state level by sitting together, said Shinde. I am a very positive person who always keeps a positive approach. As an NDA alliance partner, I was invited in Bihar for the oath-taking ceremony of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, so before going to Bihar, I went to Delhi to meet Union Minister Amit Shah to congratulate him on the NDA victory in Bihar, he said. Shinde also added that in the local body elections, most of the candidates from the Mahayuti are contesting against each other, but they decided that they will not use any low-level language in the campaign that will hurt the alliance and strain the relationship.
