Abhijit Bhattacharyya | Currency Stability Basis Of A Nation’s Economy

India’s first woman PM got deep into an all-round mess of two wars (the 1962 treachery by the Chinese and the aggression of Pakistani dictator Ayub Khan in 1965). A combination of drought, an adverse trade balance, a mounting current account deficit and acute foreign exchange crisis led to India facing potential economic collapse.

Hundreds don cockroach masks as mock party stages protest in India

Hundreds of supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party, an online joke that drew millions across India, gathered for the first time in New Delhi on Saturday (6 June), taking the social media movement off screens and into its biggest real-world test yet. The protest at Jantar Mantar in India’s capital marks the movement’s first foray into street politics after weeks of dominating social media feeds and news headlines, attracting millions of online followers and widespread support among young Indians. Many gathered in the heart of New Delhi’s Jantar Mantra, some with placards and cockroach masks. The party’s founder Abhijeet Dipke, 30, arrived in New Delhi on Saturday to lead the protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Since launching in mid-May, the CJP has tapped into the concerns of the under-30s and become the largest online expression of dissent against the Hindu nationalist Modi's 12-year-old rule, fuelled by persistently high youth unemployment and recurring leaks of examination papers that threaten to derail the careers of millions of students.

Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel Car Launch Live: India's First E100 Car - Price, Mileage, Engine And More

Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel Car Launch Live: Maruti Suzuki is set to take a major step in India's alternative-fuel journey with the unveiling of the country's first mass-market E100-compatible flex-fuel passenger vehicle today. The unveil, scheduled ahead of World Environment Day, will showcase a production-ready model capable of running on petrol as well as ethanol blends up to E100. The event at Taj Palace, New Delhi, will be attended by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, both of whom have been strong advocates of ethanol-based mobility in India.Maruti Fronx Or Wagon R?While Maruti Suzuki has not officially revealed the model name, industry reports suggest the vehicle could be based on either the Wagon R Flex Fuel prototype previously showcased in India or the Fronx Flex Fuel concept displayed globally. Both vehicles have already demonstrated compatibility with high-ethanol fuel blends, making them strong contenders for today's unveiling.DesignFrom a design standpoint, major styling changes are not expected. Instead, the focus is likely to remain on the flex-fuel technology itself, with subtle exterior graphics or badging differentiating the model from its conventional petrol counterpart. Inside, buyers can expect the familiar Maruti Suzuki cabin layout along with features already offered on the donor vehicle, including a touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, automatic climate control and multiple safety features depending on the variant.Flex Fuel EngineThe biggest talking point will be the powertrain. The flex-fuel engine is expected to operate on fuel blends ranging from standard petrol to 100 per cent ethanol, supporting the government's push to reduce crude oil imports and increase ethanol adoption. While ethanol fuel is generally cheaper than petrol, vehicles running on higher ethanol blends typically record lower fuel efficiency than equivalent petrol-powered versions.PricePricing remains under wraps, but industry estimates suggest a modest premium over the standard petrol model due to additional fuel-system modifications required for E100 compatibility. Stay tuned as we bring you live updates on the official launch, price announcement, specifications, mileage claims and everything else revealed from the event floor., Car News News, Times Now

Former MI6 chief on Russia, Trump and the future of the West

On the news of the death of Sir Alex Younger The Independent is re-publishing its World of Trouble podcast with the former head of MI6, recorded in April 2025. Join us as world affairs editor Sam Kiley sits down with former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger and Dr Rachel Ellehuus, director-general of The Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) and former Pentagon official, to explore the shifting global security landscape. In this episode of World of Trouble, The Independent’s new expert-led discussion series, our panel unpacks the fast-changing global security landscape in a discussion entitled Shifting Alliances. They delve into the strategic importance of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Nato’s future, and whether Europe has the strength and resolve to face the Russian challenge. During the panel, former MI6 chief Sir Alex warned Britain must rearm and rebuild its reserves – potentially through national service – to face the growing threat from Russia and the destabilising influence of leaders like Putin and Trump. Alongside Dr Ellehuus, he highlighted how Trump’s shift in US strategic priorities has shaken European security, emboldened Putin, and increased unconventional Russian attacks across Europe.

US-Iran War Live: Iran says US talks still alive, rules out any deal that ignores Lebanon

US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: Gulf tensions escalated sharply on Wednesday as Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Kuwait, damaging facilities at Kuwait International Airport, killing one person and injuring more than 60 others, while the United States carried out military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. The latest violence has put further strain on a fragile ceasefire reached earlier this year and raised fresh concerns about the stability of one of the world's most important energy corridors. Bahrain said it intercepted several missiles and drones after Iran claimed to have targeted US military assets in the region. The US military reported that some Iranian missiles failed to reach their targets and said it had struck positions near Hormuz after attempted attacks on American forces and commercial shipping. Oil prices climbed more than 2% as uncertainty grew over the future of the strait, which previously handled about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain stalled despite repeated claims by US President Donald Trump that a deal is close. Iran continues to seek sanctions relief, access to oil revenues and guarantees over regional issues, while Washington insists Tehran must abandon any path to nuclear weapons. The conflict has also spilled deeper into Lebanon, where Israeli drone strikes killed several people and targeted areas near southern region. With Iran, the US, Israel and Hezbollah still locked in confrontation, fears are growing that renewed fighting could further disrupt global energy supplies, increase pressure on oil markets and complicate already fragile negotiations aimed at ending months of war across the Middle East.
