A former hedge fund manager, Rishi Sunak is a big crypto bull. He wants the UK to become the crypto hub of the world. He is of Indian origin and most Indians are happy at Sunak becoming the Prime Minister of a country that ruled India for over 200 years. One of the key messages that Sunak brings to the table is his support for cryptocurrencies. Is India listening to Sunak? Will it at all?

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal has increasingly been becoming blind to the communal politics in India since 2014 when he could see the evils of both corruption and communalism, but now he does not see any of those quagmires. Many AAP leaders are now neck deep in corruption, and Kejriwal himself is competing with the BJP by resorting to competitive Hindutva fuelling communalism.

Since November last year, the UK’s ruling Conservative Party has been gripped by rebellion, chaos, and a collapse in popular support. Be it revelations that Boris Johnson partied in Downing Street while the nation groaned under the weight of COVID restrictions or Liz Truss’s tax cuts for the rich during a sharp rise in inflation, this ten-month period has been the most painful in the Tories’ recent history. And with the appointment of Rishi Sunak as the new prime minister by a cabal of MPs, the agonies are not about to abate.

To think that the Congress-led UPA was ruling India till just eight years ago is unbelievable. Looks like eight years were a lifetime for the Congress. An exodus of sorts has emptied the Congress of known faces. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had to reestablish the clout of the Gandhi family all over again with a presidential election. The last Congress Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, is wheelchair-bound, a frail picture of his former self. Several electoral losses have marred the party’s reputation. Being out of power never suited the Congress. To say it differently, after eight years of Modi rule, things aren’t looking up.

We haven’t had any ‘pearls of wisdom’ from finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman for quite some time. But her latest one on rupee that the Indian currency’s problems are basically because the dollar is strengthening rather than the rupee weakening makes up for the longer than normal interval between her out of the box one-liners.

Oil is the second biggest energy for India. It accounts for 29 percent of total energy in the country. Although coal is the biggest energy, oil is more sensitive to inflation as it impacts directly on the common people. Nearly 65 percent of oil is used in .the major daily consumer goods that are moved by road transport, due to inadequate rail transport. During April –October 2022, price of basket of oil increased by 29 percent. This triggered inflation to 7.4 percent, lending an unbearable impact on the middle and lower income group people in India.

Chonburi (Bangkok): Delhi teenagers Shat Mishra, and Shaurya Bhattacharya, will lead seven-man Indian amateur squad's challenge at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

New Delhi: Ace drag flicker Harmanpreet Singh was on Tuesday named captain of the 22-member Indian for the double header matches against Spain and New Zealand in the season opener of FIH Pro League to be played in Bhubaneswar.

The security failure that led to the January 6 Capitol Hill riot in 2021 was always deeply weird. How was it that the vastest, most penetrating surveillance state in human history Unites States of America was taken by surprise? Why was law enforcement ― which responds to just about any gathering at the Capitol as if it were an invading army, and had spent the previous year brutally putting down unarmed protesters ― so undermanned and under-resourced on the day it maybe mattered most? As ,ore disclosures about the riot are coming out, it is only getting weirder.

Certain official decisions announcing better pay/allowances for their employees in the neighbouring states have caused major embarrassment to the West Bengal Government. As it is, the ruling Trinamool Congress(TMC) has for some years been facing the charge of being unsympathetic to state Government employees, because of its stubborn refusal to pay their Dearness Allowance (DA) in recent years.
