Indians account for most of the layoffs

Along with Corona, the Ukraine and Russia war has plunged the countries of the world into crisis. In addition to the growing economic recession, due to the war and extreme weather conditions in many countries, even giant companies have started trying to get out of this situation. All the news of the dismissal of employees that we see in the media all the time is a part of it. The country's Reserve Bank has stepped into the field to withstand the economic recession that is affecting America due to Covid. It has increased the 'Federal Fund Rate (interest rate) on the loans it gives to banks. Naturally, all the banks put that burden on the customers. They have increased the interest rates on the loans they have given and given to individuals and companies. To cope with this burden, product-oriented companies such as Meta (Facebook's parent company), Seagate, and Microsoft have focused on cutting costs. To that end, one of the main ways that they can think of is the dismissal o...

Is another global recession coming?

Sooner or later, Analysts predict a global recession is inevitable for world nations in 2023 but no one has dared to estimate how severe it will be and how long it will take. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also came to the same view. It warned that a major economic recession is looming for the world. Due to this recession, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the countries of the world will be reduced to the extent of 4 lakh crore dollars by 2026. IMF also believed that the GDP of countries that account for a third of the world's GDP will fall to negative levels for two consecutive quarters this year or next. The IMF also reduced the global GDP growth rate to 3.2 percent this year. She said that it may decrease further to 2.9 percent next year. This is the fourth time in a row that the IMF has cut its global GDP forecast this year. OPEC countries announced on Wednesday that they are reducing daily oil production by 20 lakh barrels from November. It is remarkable that the next...

Russian troops are gradually withdrawing from occupied territories in Ukraine one by one. The attempt to declare the Donbass (Donetsk and Luhansk regions) region independent and turn them into other countries has completely failed. There is a situation of losing Crimea, which has been under the control of Russia since 2014. Although the Crimean Peninsula is under the control of Russia has lack dominance over the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. It has made efforts to build a road from Crimea to Belgord in its territory.

Will India get Kohinoor?

Will the most valuable 'Kohinoor' diamond, which is believed to have been found in the 14th century during the Kakatiya period, still reach India from the British Royal Palace? It is known that Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday. The death of Britain's longest-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II has rekindled social media chatter demanding the return of the Kohinoor Diamond to India. The 105.6 carat Kohinoor diamond crown that she wore until now will now go to her daughter-in-law, Camilla. Camilla will wear a crown studded with 2,800 diamonds for Charles' coronation. In 1849, Maharaja Duleep Singh of Lahore took this diamond and handed it over to the British as part of the Treaty of Lahore. Since then, this diamond has become part of the British crown jewels. However, it is advertised that only women should wear it or it can be inlaid in the jewels of God. It is noteworthy that there is also a campaign that if men wear it, bloodshed is inevitable. Since 1947, the Indi...

Problem faced by Indians in Norway

In western countries, laws regarding the care of children are strictly enforced. Some Indians get into trouble due to a lack of proper understanding of these laws and their implementation. Between 2008 and 2015, the government of Norway (Norway) moved 20 newborn babies belonging to Indian couples to orphanages. Besides 13 more children of Indian origin are staying away from their parents in government care centers. The government moved children to childcare centers without parental consent. According to the laws there, if there is a possibility of harm to the children due to the parents, then the government will take responsibility for the children. On December 13 last year, Norwegian Child Welfare Service officials moved an Indian-origin child named Aryan (5) to a care center. Aryan's father is from Norway and his mother is an Indian citizen. After receiving a complaint from Aryan's parents that he had touched the child, the authorities immediately intervened. First, he spoke ...

Putin Offer: Ten million more than ten children!

Due to the covid epidemic and the war with Ukraine, the population of Russia has been decreasing significantly for some time. Concerned with this, President Vladimir Putin took a key decision for the development of the population. It has been decided to give 10 lakh Russian rubles (roughly Rs. 13 lakhs in Indian currency) as offered to women who bear more than ten children. To this extent, the scheme called 'Mother Heroine' was announced. Women who give birth to 10 or more children are paid this amount at once. The mothers will 'qualify' for the 'award' even if any of their children die in battle, as the result of a terrorist act, or in an emergency situation. But there is a twist to it. This amount will be paid on the first birthday of the tenth child. It was also stipulated that the remaining nine children should be alive by then. Mother Heroine scheme came into the picture as a measure to replenish the decreasing population in the country. The nation has suff...

U.S. retreat on abortions

It is the darkest day in American history when the superpower is ahead of all other nations in terms of rights! The country's Supreme Court has struck down a five-decade-old legal abortion right for women. It struck down a 50-year-old ruling that gave all women across the country that right. Six of the nine judges (five of them men) ruled against the right to abortion, while three Liberal justices (two of them women) ruled in favor. With this ruling, all the states where the Republicans are in power are likely to deal harshly with abortion. Abortion rights activists have expressed concern that the ruling will turn American women into second-class citizens. They estimate that nearly half of all women of childbearing age in the country are in Republican-dominated states. Responding to the ruling, US President Biden said it was a sad day for the United States and the courts. He also said that the court has done something it has never done before. It has taken away the fundamental co...
