Behind the West’s rising dislike of Indian migrants https://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/behind-the-west-s-rising-dislike-of-indian-migrants-101758554815670.html By Tara Kartha
Sept 22, 2025 The Right, throughout history, has risen amid economic suffering, discontent with the ruling elite, corruption, and unemployment. Europe, traditionally the base for such exclusionary sentiments, had been warning of the rise of the far Right and introduced a Resolution in 2023 on ways to combat it. But that year, unemployment was at a historic low, indicating that other factors were at play.
The tipping point, however, seems to have been the worldwide protests against the genocide in Gaza, including in all major Australian and European cities. In the US, particularly, it was opposed as carrying wokeism too far, “in support of Hamas and Hezbollah”.
Alongside came Hinduphobia. Where and how did the term crop up? And how did it turn into hate against Indians?
Rahul Gandhi gets Support of Former CECs. https://x.com/i/status/1968936643701686523 Former CEC highlighted current CEC's role in Elections where Integrity of the Electoral Rolls is on the Stake.

Amid Trump’s Tariffs & H-1B Visa Woes, Is Modi’s Swadeshi Pushback Only a Rhetorical Shield? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My74JIpOFaQ | Barkha
Mojo Story Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s renewed push for swadeshi comes as Washington stuns the world with a steep $100,000 H-1B visa fee. While the White House clarified this is a one-time payment for new applicants, the announcement sparked panic among Indian professionals, students, and families in the U.S.
The fallout is already visible: confusion, cancelled flights, and deep uncertainty for thousands of Indians working in America’s tech and business sectors. As Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal heads to the States for critical trade talks and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar meets U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the UN General Assembly in New York, the big question is clear: Will this H-1B visa crisis push India to reset its economic strategy, strengthen self-reliance, and negotiate tougher on the global stage?

Sanjeev Sanyal: Judiciary now India’s Biggest Roadblock to Viksit Bharat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOiUGzJL_-Q Sep 22, 2025
In his speech at Nyaya Nirmaan 2025, Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, makes bold claims about India’s legal system — calling it the single biggest hurdle in the way of Viksit Bharat. He critiques long court-vacations, unnecessary procedural delays like pre-litigation mediation, colonial legal language (“my lord”, “prayer”) and outdated norms in the judiciary.
hear directly what he proposes — reforms, modernisation, and who needs to step up.
What needs to change: Courts, Bar, Language Why this matters:
• India aims to become a developed economy (Viksit Bharat) by 2047 — but judicial inefficiencies are dragging progress.
• Delays in contract enforcement, long court vacations, and archaic practices cost time, money and trust.
• Sanyal argues reforms can’t wait — legal culture, language, procedures, everything needs overhaul.

Deteriorating Financial Situation of the People https://www.counterview.net/2025/09/supreme-court-outsourcing-jobs-in.html Sept 19 2025 The court emphasized that "as a constitutional employer, the State must live up to higher standards and organize its permanent workforce on a sanctioned structure, budget for legitimate appointments, and implement judicial directives with complete sincerity. Delay in fulfilling these obligations is not mere negligence, but a deliberate pattern of denial that destroys the livelihood and dignity of these employees." Today, it is imperative that the problems of contract workers are not seen merely from the perspective of "temporary employment" but that a permanent solution is found by considering them the backbone of the system.

September 19, 2025 https://rupeindia.wordpress.com/2025/09/19/ii-deteriorating-financial-situation-of-the-people/ the RBI does bear direct responsibility for the rapid growth of predatory microfinance from 2022. To understand why we term microfinance ‘predatory’, we need only recall the microfinance crisis of 2009-10, which resulted in mass distress, a number of suicides, and a protest movement in Andhra Pradesh. In its wake, the RBI was forced to place a number of restrictions on microfinance institutions (MFIs) to prevent the abuses which had led to the crisis.
The more socially oppressed sections are more dependent on informal sector loans, and this dependence has been increasing. The share of debt of Dalit households from commercial banks fell sharply during the period of post-1991 ‘liberalisation’; “The vacuum thus created was filled in by professional moneylenders. While professional moneylenders did emerge in 2002 as an important source of credit for other rural households as well, their hold over Dalit households was much stronger. The expansion of informal debt meant an increased and onerous interest burden on rural Dalit households
