American rapper Kanye West is better known for his stage moniker “YE.” Because of Kanye’s anti-Semitic remarks and his wearing clothing with the tagline “Ku Klux Klan,” which stands for a hate group created against various groups including Jews, several luxury businesses have discontinued their business relationship with him, including Balenciaga, Gap, and Adidas. Despite widespread criticism, the issue has received support from a respectable number of individuals, including many well-known figures. Anti-Semitism has again reared its obnoxious head.

India’s most popular conversational topic is unemployment. It is not just about the money; unemployment also deprives a person of prestige, a means of subsistence, motivation, and a lot more, leading to poverty. The Periodic Labour Force Survey states that unemployment is a situation in which a person is willing to work but is unable to find employment. People who are self-employed, taking a temporary hiatus from their jobs, and not actively looking for work are not regarded as unemployed. A PLFS poll indicates that the jobless rate nearly doubled following COVID-19. The Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) Report…

Due to Liz Truss’ failure to deliver on her economic campaign pledges in just 45 days as prime minister, she has lost support and can no longer lead the government. Ironically, she is not the only Prime Minister to have failed to serve out her full term in the past ten years. Indian Express Truss is the fourth leader since the Brexit vote in 2016, and each time, a leader’s popularity declined due to the crisis that began in 2017. But among them, Truss’ stay is the shortest. All eyes are now focused on the incoming prime minister. The next…

The Beginning: In the early 1950s, when China became the People’s Republic of China in 1949 and India gained independence in 1947, both countries took the first step toward becoming sovereign states. The People’s Republic of China’s position on Taiwan was initially recognised by India, which also backed China’s permanent membership in the UN. India acknowledged Chinese control over Tibet in 1954. The “five principles of cohabitation,”…

Rape is one of the top four crimes against women in India, according to NCRB data, with about 86 incidents being reported each day. It’s unknown how many actual cases—including unreported ones—there are. Again, the extremely contentious Bilkis Bano case of 2002 brought up the issue of rape and raised systemic issues when the 11 prisoners were released from life in prison after serving 15 years in prison, despite having previously been released on parole, furlough, and bond. Another instance included the spiritual leader and so-called Dera Saccha Sauda chief Baba Ram Rahim, who was convicted of several rapes and…
