After the Second World War, the world saw two grand economic experiments. India enters this moment stronger than before, but we no longer enjoy the latitude once given to low-income countries. Their prices, influenced by tariff structures and limited competition, raise the cost of industrial buildings and warehousing. In a world where preferences are narrowing and competition is intensifying, countries that improve productivity and cost discipline will determine the terms of trade. Our generation must reject it through economic strength, not by protecting industries from competition but by building industries capable of winning it.

Only a few years ago, Jammu & Kashmir lacked the basic infrastructure for first-class cricket but Mithun Manhas, the current BCCI president, played a huge role in their turnaround. He joined as a key administrator in the BCCI-appointed subcommittee to overlook the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association in 2021 and that’s how the story unfolded. The kind of support that he has given to JKCA is beyond imagination,” Manhas told The Telegraph on Saturday evening. “Then the whole process started and, you know, after a span of four years, here we are, the Ranji champions. “You’ll see a lot more players taking up cricket and I’m sure J&K will benefit from that in the long run.”

Gold and silver prices are gearing up to reach their January highs, bolstered by recent geopolitical events as Iran, and Israel and the US on the other side, exchange missile attacks. Reports, citing strategic analysts, pinned the focus on Iran’s nuclear programme, with both US and Israeli leaders confronting Iran’s expanding military and nuclear capabilities, which boosted the risk premium in precious metals. On Comex, spot silver was up 7.85 per cent to 93.82 per ounce, and gold at $5,296 per ounce. Over time, however, markets settle, and prices may pull back if tensions ease. “We would expect the ongoing rally in oil, gold and silver to extend.

A number of oil tankers are avoiding the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow shipping lane linking the oil-rich Persian Gulf to the open seas — with some shipowners adopting a caution-first approach after the US and Israel bombed Iran. Tankers hauled about 16.7 million barrels a day of crude and condensate through the strait in 2025. Brent crude, the global benchmark, was trading at around $73 a barrel on Saturday. A disruption to oil flows from the region could also strain Tehran’s ties with China, one of the largest buyers of Iranian crude. Industry sources said that in the event of a Hormuz blockade, India could seek supplies routed through bypass infrastructure such as Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline to the Red Sea and the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline to Fujairah.

Mr Trump did not stop at abuse. Even after the judgment, the Congress is helpless because Mr Trump will not go to Congress to ask for authorisation. The warning cannot be dismissed as bluff or bluster because Mr Trump acts on his whims and prejudices. The domestic developments could weaken Mr Trump and he may face electoral setbacks in November 2026. Mr Trump and his Administration may return to the path of rules-based trade and respect for global institutions.

The decision has already triggered sharp debate among economists and international observers about whether the country’s fragile recovery can withstand a perceived weakening of the central bank’s independence. ADVERTISEMENTThe question is no longer simply who runs the central bank. Analysts have warned that without independence, the Bangladesh Bank could struggle to enforce discipline on politically connected borrowers. But such a shift, to be credible, must be executed by a central bank whose independence is unquestioned. Rebuilding that confidence required consistent signalling that monetary policy would not be subordinated to short-term political needs.
