The Morning Standard
|February 22, 2025

The six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) of the RBI considered the worries over growth and an easing inflation trajectory as the best bet to begin a baby step towards an easier money regime by cutting the repo rate by 25 bps to 6.25% at the February 7 policy review, showed the minutes of the meeting released on Friday.

A Fantasy Called Chanakya
There is absolutely no historical evidence that a man called Chanakya ever lived during Mauryan times (300 BC) or that he guided Chandragupta Maurya to kingship. What we have is a story based on later Buddhist and Jain chronicles and Sanskrit plays like Mudra-rakshasa, all imagined after 500 AD, i.e, 700 years later.

The Deadly Queue of Death and Indifference
One hundred and fourteen Indians have died this year. They died not in floods, earthquakes, or wars, but under the crushing weight of their fellow citizens. Men, women, and children were trampled in temples, rallies, and film events. The founder of the Srikakulam Venkateswara Temple, after nine devotees were killed in a Diwali crowd surge, dismissed the deaths as “God’s will.” It was not. It was ours.
