India is cautious lest the Chinese soldiers repeat their Galwan-like assault on In dian troops while disengaging from Point 14 two years ago. The two sides have also agreed to cease forward deployments and dismantle their temporary struc tures. The development is enough to silence Prime Minis ter Narendra Modi’s critics. The disengagement in Ladakh could pave the way for a likely summit between Modi and President Xi Jinping. With India moving clos er to Russia after the Ukraine war, the dynamics between India and China are also giving hints of Thosechange.hints, like the disen gagement, will not make India lower its guard against the Chi nese who are always looking for a chance to hurt India.

The Morgan Stanley report has mentioned that international econo mists were prescribing policies to India that have now spelled doom for the west. Fortunately, the team of economists under the govern ment of India assessed the situation much better and did not cave into the immense pressure. Experts say that with passing time, more and more evidence as well as consensus is emerging that mindless stimulus did more harm in the long run even in those large econo mies which were fiscally surplus before the pandemic or were highly advanced, Morgan Stanley said. The key change in India’s structural story lies in the clear shift in policy focus towards lifting the produc tive capacity of the economy. Policymakers have taken up a series of reforms which will catalyse an upswing in the private capex cycle, helping to unleash a powerful productivity dynamic, it said.

Her story...
yan Mukerji’s magnum opus Brahmastra has been creating a lot of hype ever since it was announced. Well, yesterday, Sep tember 9, was a big day for all Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt fans as the much-awaited film was released.
kshay Kumar and Rakul Preet Sin gh’s Cuttputlli, the Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil crime thriller Ratsan an, is streaming on Disney Plus Hot star. Rakulpreet features in the character played by Amala Paul for the Hindi remake. In an interview, Rakul addressed the criti cism against crime thriller Cuttputlli for having a romantic angle as it almost kills the thrill of a mystery thriller. The actress said, “There is a certain section of the audience that enjoy (romance, song and dance). We have made this film for families. Indian films are known for the quintessential masala. To day if you say that Telugu cinema is doing well, it is masala that is doing well. Families, a large section of our Indian cinema viewers, enjoy the balance.”
A nanya Panday is un doubtedly one of the leading actresses of this generation.
