◆National security challenges that face the new Modi team
【New Delhi】Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley, and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj—the troika who will implement Mr. Modi’s strategic vision — will be seeing lots of the world during the rest of this year, but it is unlikely to be fun.
 East Asian states like Japan and Vietnam, alarmed by the rise of China and an apparent decline in United States' power, want to lock India into closer military partnership. Islamist insurgencies and Saudi Arabia-Iran tensions have made West Asia, the source of the fuel India’s economy lives on, dangerously fragile. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is buffeted by civil-military tensions, and, in some areas, collapsing central authority.
○Modi's ministers vow to work for development, welfare of poor
【New Delhi】Ministers in the Narendra Modi government today vowed to work for the country's development and welfare of the poor.
 "The government will work for development and welfare of the poor, and under Modi's leadership it will take the country's GDP above 8 per cent," Cabinet minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping and former BJP president Nitin Jairam Gadkari said.
○Seven women, including one from model, in Team Modi
【New Delhi】There are seven women ministers including six with Cabinet rank in the 45-member Council of Ministers headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
 Smriti Zubin Irani, the youngest member in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Council of Ministers, witnessed a meteoric rise in her career on Monday since she began searching her future in showbiz starting as a model in mid-90s and later joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2003. Najma Heptulla, the lone Muslim face, has also been given Cabinet rank. Meanwhile, when the UPA government was sworn in, there were 80 ministers including nine women.
