In a news related to the

electricity will be avail-

As per the earlier plan,
if a consumer had more
than one electricity con-
nection, they would get
the benefit according to
the number of members
registered in the JanAad-

mean that if there were
three members in a fam-

benefit. However, this
plan had quite some

Columnist Financial Expert
he trend of cryp-
to currency in
India has be-
come more pop-
ular than in
America these days. It seems
very surprising at first glance,
but the figures confirm this fact.
According to the latest report of
the Global Adoption Index
2022, the behaviour related to
investment in crypto currency is
increasing continuously, and on
this side, India is currently
ranked fourth position in the
world, while the US is posi-
tioned fifth.The first three plac-
es are occupied by Vietnam, the
Philippines, and Ukraine.In-
dia’s position is even more sur-
prising because the current In-
dian economic policies are not
very encouraging regarding
crypto. Despite this, if India is
standing at the fourth position in
the world, then certainly this
situation forces us to ponder.
Two budgets ago, the Govern-
ment of India made a provision
of 30 percent tax on profits from
investing in crypto, and the
mention of non-adjustment of
losses still exists in the Indian
tax system. In India, it has been
seen for sometime now that in
order to get attractive returns on
financial investments, the afflu-
ent section of society prefers to
invest in crypto in their portfo-
lio. This thing also seems rea-
sonable because interest rates
have been decreasing continu-
ously for the last few years, due
to which banking deposits and
government bonds are not look-
ing very profitable. On this side,
it is also clear that if the Indian
society is showing its inclina-
tion towards financial invest-
ment in crypto, then it is taking
this risk on its own because
there is no provision in the gov-
ernment policies in this regard.
The lack of correct financial
information regarding crypto
has kept it an unresolved issue
in society. Financial transac-
tions can be done in two ways
through crypto.
First: to use as currency for
payment and receipt of various
transactions.
Second: Making financial
investments in crypto as an as-
set and earning profits from its
price fluctuations.
It is very important to make
it clear here that, till now, fi-
nancial investments in crypto
have been made in India only
as an asset and have not been
used as a currency in business
transactions at all. Here, it is
also very important to look at
the fact that crypto is being
used around the world as a cur-
rency in business transactions,
mainly due to the following
circumstances. First - when in-
flation in a country goes to
such a large level that its nega-
tive effects greatly reduce the
value of the domestic currency
of that country, that is, the situ-
ation of devaluation of the cur-
rency in the domestic market.
In such a situation, crypto is
used by the citizens themselves
as payment in their transactions
in exchange for a foreign cur-
rency. Latin American coun-
tries such as Argentina, Vene-
zuela, Peru, etc. can be includ-
ed in this regard. The second
condition is that, when the
banking system in any country
is not highly developed and
protective financial facilities
are not available for the con-
sumers in the domestic market.
Even in that situation, the citi-
zens can use crypto in their
bank accounts for the protec-
tion of their own interests. An
example of this is being seen
very rapidly in a country like
Vietnam. Under the third situ-
ation, when some countries
keep restrictions on the move-
ment of their own currency and
foreign currency, crypto is be-
ing used as a medium for pay-
ment and receipt of various
imports and exports. Along
with this, remittances are also
sent by non-resident citizens to
their country. This can be seen
between Russia and China.
Some producers in China carry
financial transactions in their
country through crypto from
Russia. The fourth situation is
of those countries that have
reached a level of economic
distress due to sudden acute
shortages of foreign exchange
in the recent past such as Sri
Lanka and Pakistan . In both
these countries, the trend to-
wards crypto has been increas-
ing very fast for the last few
years, and it is probably be-
cause their countries have neg-
ligible dollars in foreign ex-
change and gold storage is also
very low, so crypto is consid-
ered an alternative medium. In
the report of Global Adoption
Index, Pakistan has been count-
ed at the 6th position regarding
the transaction practices of
crypto currency.
Another perspective is that
the quick rise in crypto cur-
rency is also influenced by in-
ternational diplomacy. Since a
while ago, whenever the cen-
tral banks of numerous large
nations across the world pur-
chased substantial quantities of
gold, there has been concern
that perhaps all of this is being
done to weaken the status of
the dollar internationally. The
dollar was artificially boosted
against the currencies of every
country in the world due to the
Fed’s control of interest policy
over the previous fiscal year,
which led to several issues in
this age of globalisation. The
abrupt increase in domestic in-
flation was the main issue in
this. Positive effects can also be
seen from the conflict between
Russia and Ukraine.
It is certain that in the coming
few years, crypto currencies
will definitely be stronger and
will make inroads into financial
investments along with pay-
ment of transactions. India’s
position on crypto is clear on
financial investments, but it is
not clear with regard to busi-
ness transactions. For many
years to come, it is difficult for
crypto to get a place in the In-
dian market as a currency
against the rupee. In this con-
text, India’s own digital cur-
rency is also under discussion
by India’s central bank under
the budget for the current finan-
cial year and will give priority
to business transactions in the
coming time. Crypto is defi-
nitely being used by Indian so-
ciety in financial investments
but on this side the Indian tax
system is a bit rigid and com-
plex. In the coming time, if
some policies regarding finan-
cial investment in crypto are
clear globally, then only the
complexities related to it in the
Indian tax system can be re-
moved. India is currently the
chairman of the G-20 countries
and it is expected that in its
meeting to be held in August,
India will definitely push for a
uniform tax system and eco-
nomic policies by the devel-
oped countries globally regard-
ing financial investment in
crypto. On this side, it is also
very important to understand
that Indian economic policies
are not encouraging with regard
to financial investment in cryp-
to right now. There is no consti-
tutional body in India and there
are no legal provisions availa-
ble through which the interests
of consumers can be prevented
from economic loss.

WHO WILL BE THE NEW GHAZI OF
GHAZIPUR IN UPCOMING BY-POLL?
fzal Ansari, who was a MP from Ghazipur
Lok Sabha constitueny in UP, lost his
membership when he was sentenced to
4 years by the court in a case. Now gearing up for
Ghazipur by-election, JK Governor Manoj Sinha,
who won the 2014 Lok Sabha
elections from Ghazipur Lok
Sabha seat and lost in 2019,
wants to get his daughter-in-law
Deepali or son Anubhav Sinha
a BJP ticket to retain his hold
on this seat. On other hand, UP
CM Yogi Adityanath wants to
field Radhemohan Singh, his
cousin and prominent leader of
SP. Ghazipur used to be a Bhumihar majority seat,
but in delimitation, 2 major Bhumihar seats here were
included in Mohammadabad and Jahurabad Ballia
and now Rajput and Yadav votes have become deci-
sive. Anyway, Yogi argues that Rajputs alone have
a cut of 19% Yadav votes and 10% Muslim votes in
Ghazipur. Chandrashekhar’s son and Rajya Sabha
MP Neeraj Shekhar is also eyeing this seat. The
claim to this seat is also of Virendra Singh Mast.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
Mirch Masala
WHAT ‘CONDITION’ HAS CONGRESS PUT IN FRONT OF NITISH?
new marathon of the opposition
unity has started, for which Chief
Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar
has become the chief architect. The first
meeting of the opposition unit is called in
Patna on June 23, in which both Rahul
Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge can attend
representing the Congress. Apart from
this, senior opposition leaders like Mamata
Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav,
Hemant Soren and MK Stalin have also
agreed to attend this meeting. Only the
issue of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal and Telangana CM KCR
is still stuck. Actually, it is the Con-
gress party which does not want
him to be seen on the same stage
with these two leaders. Assembly
elections are also due in
Telangana in the coming
few months, so the
Congress fears that
if it is seen sharing
a common platform with KCR, then its
votes in the state may be transferred to
KCR’s party ‘BRS’. The emphasis of the
Congress was to convene this meeting
in Shimla, but when Nitish explained that
this new alliance of the opposition unity
should start from the land of Loknayak Jay-
aprakash Narayan, who shook the stove of
the then ruling Delhi with his moral force,
the Congress leaders accepted. Congress
also wants that the new alliance that is
taking shape to replace the UPA should
meet at regular intervals. If sources to
be believed, after Patna, the next
meeting of this alliance can be held
in any Congress-ruled state like
Himachal Pradesh or Rajasthan.
Sources also reveal that Sharad
Pawar could be made
president of this
new alliance and
Nitish could be
its convenor.
...AND FINALLY
aharashtra’s Dy
CM Devendra
Fadnavis has
repeated several times in
last 2 months about the
expansion of the Shinde
government’s cabinet, but
that rare moment never
comes. There is a joke on
this in Maharashtra that
‘if the wife has gone to
the make-up room saying
she will get ready in ten
minutes, then what is
the need to knock on the
door every half an hour?’
BABULAL MARANDI CAN BE NEXT
PRESIDENT OF JHARKHAND BJP
ver since the sting of the Karnataka elec-
tions, the round of brainstorming meetings
is going on continuously in the BJP. Just
last Friday, Amit Shah, BL Santhosh and JP Nadda
had an important meeting with BJP general secretar-
ies. Actually, this whole exercise
of the saffron party is for the
upcoming 2024 general elections
where party does not want to
appear weak. The first step in
this episode can be to change
the state presidents. Earlier, the
party had appointed new presi-
dents in Bihar, Rajasthan, Delhi
and Odisha. But many of these
leaders are not able to live up to the expectations.
In UP too, the Jat leader of Western UP, Bhupendra
Chaudhary, was given the presidential innings, but
BJP leadership is not said to be happy. Maharash-
tra and J’khand are also preparing to bring new
presidents. In J’khand, the party wants to bet on a
tribal face as the state prez and at present former
CM Babulal Marandi is said to be leading this race.
WHEN WILL THE BY-ELECTIONS OF
CHANDRAPUR AND PUNE BE HELD?
ue to the death of BJP MP from Pune,
Girish Bapat and Cong MP from Chandra-
pur, Suresh Narayan alias Balu Dhanorkar
in Maharashtra, by-polls are to be held on
these 2 Lok Sabha seats. There is also a possibility
that the bypolls to these two seats should be held
along with the Maharashtra As-
sembly elections. Sources reveal
that the BJP wants to hold the
Maharashtra Assembly elections
ahead of time so that it can over-
come the current political insta-
bility there. The BJP is asking its
former MP Hansraj Gangaram
Ahir, who is currently the chair-
man of the National Commission
for Backward Classes, to contest the Chandrapur
bypoll. Sources reveal that he turned down the party
leadership’s ‘offer’ saying that only a few months are
left for 2024 general elections, thus what is the point
of pouring so much money into elections for few
months. In such a situation, Fadnavis has offered
Pratibha Dhanorkar, the MLA wife of late Dhanorkar,
to contest the elections on a BJP ticket.

WHOWILLREPLACE
PRIYANKAINUP?
he process
of change in
the Congress
organization is going on.
Because Priyanka Gandhi
has left UP taken up
Madhya Pradesh, so the
search is on for a new in-
charge for UP. If sources to
be believed, the Priyanka
camp is putting forward
Tariq Anwar’s name for
UP in-charge, but senior
party leaders like Salman
Khurshid are opposing
this. Salman argues that
since a Thakur is CM in
UP, the Congress should
put a Brahmin face in
charge of UP instead of a
Muslim. In this episode, the
name of Brahmin leader
Satyavrat Chaturvedi of
Madhya Pradesh is being
put forward. Although
the former Uttarakhand
CM Harish Rawat has
expressed his desire to re-
tire from politics on many
occasions, yet a section
is advocating his name as
UP incharge. It is said that
the party will decide on UP
incharge only after Rahul
returns from America. At
the same time, there is a
lot of talk about replacing
the state president of Ma-
harashtra, Nana Patole. It
is said that the Mahavikas
Aghadi alliance has com-
plained to the Congress
high command on several
occasions regarding this
state president of the
Congress that Patole’s un-
necessary rhetoric harms
the alliance religion. In
such a situation, there is
a buzz of giving the com-
mand of Maharashtra to a
senior Congressman.

The withdrawal of asso-
ciation by an individual
from a NCERT textbook
is out of
question as
the books at
the school
level are de-
v e l o p e d
based on the
state of
knowledge
and under-
standing of a
given sub-
ject, and therefore at no
stage, individual author-
ship is claimed, the Na-
tional Council for Educa-
tionalResearchandTrain-
ing (NCERT) has said.
The NCERT clarifica-
tion came in response to
a request by political
scientists Yogendra Ya-
dav and Suhas Palshi-
kar to remove their
names as chief advisors
from political science
textbooks after a ration-
alisation exercise was
conducted that saw sev-
eral chapters deleted or
trimmed.
The NCERT stated
that Yadav and Palshikar
were chief advisors in the
Textbook Development
Committees (TDC) set
up during 2005-08.
“These committees
were purely academic in
nature and existed until
the textbooks were de-
veloped,” it said.

n the world of traditional In-
dian fashion, lehengas hold
a special place as the epito-
me of elegance and grace.
These exquisite ensembles
have been worn by women
for centuries, embodying the rich cultural her-
itage and vibrant traditions of the subconti-
nent.Among the plethora of colours available,
yellow lehengas stand out as a striking choice,
exuding radiance and joy. In this feature ar-
ticle, we delve into the allure of yellow
lehengas and explore why they have
become increasingly popular
among fashion enthusiasts.
Yellow, the colour of sun-
shine and warmth, evokes a
range of emotions and sym-
bolizes various concepts
across different cultures. In
Indian culture, yellow holds
deep significance, repre-
senting happiness, prosper-
ity, and auspicious begin-
nings. It is often associ-
ated with festivities and
celebrations, making
it a favoured colour
for special occasions
such as weddings and
festivals.
Yellow lehengas of-
fer a vast canvas for
designers to unleash
their creativity.
Whether it’s a tra-
ditional silhouette
or a contemporary
fusion, yel-
low le-
hengas can be adorned with intricate embroi-
dery, zari work, sequins, or even delicate
threadwork. The bright and cheerful hue of
yellow beautifully complements these embel-
lishments, enhancing their visual impact and
creating a mesmerizing effect.
One of the reasons yellow lehengas have
gained popularity is their versatility. While it
is commonly associated with traditional cer-
emonies and bridal wear, yellow lehengas can
also be styled for various other occasions.
Fashion-forward individuals have been ex-
perimenting with different shades of yellow,
such as lemon yellow, mustard yellow, or even
pastel hues, to create a unique and contempo-
rary look. Pairing a yellow lehenga with a
contrasting blouse or incorporating modern
elements can give it a fresh and trendy twist.
The influence of celebrities cannot be over-
looked when it comes to fashion trends, and
yellow lehengas have certainly caught their
attention. Bollywood divas like Deepika Padu-
kone, Alia Bhatt, and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja
have donned stunning yellow ensembles at red-
carpet events and wed-
dings, igniting a
renewed interest
in this vibrant
colour. Their
appearances
have sparked a
trend, with
fashion enthu-
siasts eagerly
embracing yel-
low lehengas
for their own
special occa-
sions.
The timeless allure
of Yellow Lehengas
lies in their ability
to evoke a sense of
joy, warmth, and
celebration. City
First brings to you
the magic of the
Yellow Lehengas!
