-
Image
The fuel Price in India hit the record high three figures for the first time in the history of India. On Wednesday the retail price of regular petrol hiked by 26 paise in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar and reached Rs. 100.13. While the Diesel rested at Rs. 92.13 after a hike of 27 paise. The fuel prices in India vary from state to state, City to City. It is determined after implementing state and central government taxes. So why are the prices rising like never before?  After effects of the infamous Pandemic:  Due to the then on-going Pandemic, the demand of Crude Oil (pre refined petroleum) showed a significant drop in April 2020. Which then turned to a collapse in prices of crude oil.           After Pandemic, Saudi Arabia a key oil producing country voluntarily cut its supply by about one million barrels to 8.125 million barrels of crude oil to boost the prices hence to cover the loss due to Pandemic. Resulting in Price of Crude Oil hiked by about 50%. Compared to $40/Barrel

For Nirmala Sitharaman, this is the third budget as she debuted in 2019, springing a change by replacing a decades old leather briefcase with " Bahi-khata". As this years budget is paperless, Bahi khata  has been replaced by a Made in India tab.  PM Modi said ahead of the joint session of Parliament on Friday, 2020 was a year of four to five mini budgets as the finance ministry announced several stimulus packages throughout the year to cushion the blow of the pandemic. Union Budget 2021 will be an extension of those, PM Modi said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, defense minister Rajnath Singh, home minister Amit Shah and other BJP leaders praised the Budget for being holistic in approach.

  China’s economy recovered to pre-pandemic growth rates in the fourth quarter, propelling it to a stronger than expected full-year expansion of 2.3% and making it the only major one to avoid contraction.  Gross domestic product climbed 6.5% in the final quarter from a year earlier, fueled by stronger-than-expected industrial output, the statistics bureau said Monday.   Covid-19, which has ravaged the world economy, first emerged in central China in late 2019. But the world's second-largest economy also became the first to bounce back after imposing strict lockdowns and virus control measures. It is expected to be the only major world economy clocking positive 2020 growth. In the last three months of 2020, China's economic rebound continued with a better-than-expected 6.5 percent growth on-year, a sustained improvement since the second quarter. This brings it back to a pre-pandemic trajectory, although full-year 2020 growth is still its worst performance since 1976, when the ec

The farmers protests: Everything you need to know

-

If you have not been living under a rock, you may have heard of the ongoing protests in the country’s capital or fair to say well-nigh the capital of our country since the protestors have not been able to actually enter the city and protest even though it is a peaceful one. Now this issue has been sidelined by the mainstream media of our country but as citizens of this country we can’t ignore the cries of our farmers as these are the ones who provide us with the food on our table. Our objective during the writing of this blog was to try to show everyone the reality of this situation while getting rid of the air of conspiracy theories and bogus related to these protests floating around different social medias and not surprisingly, our mainstream media without much proof and evidence about most of their claims.   These protests are basically against the three new agriculture bills passed in the parliament this year. Particularly, the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promot

India is now importing almost 80 billion dollar worth of goods from China which is 17% of it's total imports. The influx of chinese products began in 1992 when globalisation began in India and now it has a stronghold in many sectors of Indian industries. One of the most impacted sector from chinese imports is electronics especially smartphones and mobile parts. India imports most of it's pharmaceutical supplies from China which can prove to be a big problem in the future if Indo-China tensions intensify. China is now world's second largest economy and India will have difficulty in boycotting it's goods. But it is not impossible to boycott China. We need to know the root cause of how chinese communist party wants to dominate the world and what dirty tactics are used by them for achieving this economically, politically. The border disputes which China are doi
