heard in the global financial narrative. India will be as suming chairmanship of the G-20 for one year from 01 De cember 22. This is a matter of pride for every Indian and an opportunity for the country to emerge as a leader to solve some of the most pressing is sues facing humanity today. However, India’s Presidency comes at a watershed mo ment coinciding with a peri od of global flux. The global community is facing multi ple political and economic challenges.
India’s three guiding prin ciples going into the G-20 Presidency are: - First, serv ing as a bridge between the developed and developing world, second, serving as the representative of the eastern bloc of nations and third, in sulating the G-20 from some of the divisive pressures that have paralysed multilateral ism elsewhere.

India will host the G-20 Leaders’ Summit at the level of Heads of State/ Government on 9th and 10th September 2023, in New Delhi. Under its Presidency, India is expected to host over 200 meetings across India, commencing from December 2022. As indicated by Indian PM, it’s going to be Impeccable and Uniquely ‘Indian’ G-20, and this mega event will be conducted closer to the lives of the people of India making it ‘People’s G-20’
The G-20 or Group of Twenty was created in 1999 as an ac ceptable medium between the more “elitist” G-7 and the more unwieldy 38-member Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Develop ment (OECD). The formation of the G-20 is more so linked to the disappointment of the international community over the failure of the G-7 in finding solutions to the prob lems of the global economy.
The middle-income coun tries and those with systemic economic influence in the negotiations to find solutions to global economic problems became imminent. Over the past two decades, the global economic balance has shift ed, and the G-20 has been seen as a more representa tive and egalitarian grouping of global leadership, and was particularly useful in steer ing the global economy after the financing crisis and banking collapse of 2008. Sig nificantly, the “Troika” of G-20 will be made up of emerging economies for the first time with India, Indone sia and Brazil - an indicator of the shift in the global eco nomic agenda towards the Global South. While G-7 is generally engaging more in

It works to address major issues related to the global economy, such as inter national financial stability, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development.
The members of the G-20 are: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Ger many, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Ara bia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Un ion.

INDIA’S MAJOR OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Evolve a clear G-20 policy on Russia- Ukraine war ending the conflict, preventing fur ther isolation of Russia in the forum.
Focus on inclusive, equita ble and sustainable growth; LiFE (Lifestyle for Environ ment); women’s empower ment; digital public infra structure and tech-enabled development. The Indian PM Modi’s vision of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - “One Earth, One Family, One Future” with focus being “ principle of ‘data for devp’ of all.
The after-effects of the pandemic and economic re covery have been worsened in the wake of Russia –Ukraine war and needs global co-operation to re store normalcy. While the overall focus will have to be on sustainable economic growth but need to chalk out a roadmap to deal with the economic situation in col laboration with the IMF, OECD, WTO, and the Finan cial Stability Board.
Climate financing is an other area that India has to work on with the affluent na tions. The developed coun tries have to be prodded for transfer of clean technolo gies and renewable energies to medium and low-income countries.
The United States of America may be the world’s richest and most developed coun try but its gun cul ture and narrow mindset to wards different social groups like women, Blacks and the LG BTQ. For women the US may not be as safe as it is perceived to be.
According to World Population Review’s latest rape statistics, number of rapes or sexual as sault varies from one state to another but the average worked out to one rape every 1-2 min utes. Women aged 16-19 years are more likely to be victims of rape.
Last Saturday night at least five people were killed in a shooting incident at an LGBTQ club in Colorado taking the number of deaths in mass shoot ings to over 601 this year. Blacks have also been victims of such shootings. With over a month still remaining in 2022, it may catch up with last year’s toll of 692. The US is in no position to lecture any county on rule of law, but it does.
yers and said at a function organised by the Bar Council of India that “if it becomes a recurring instance for every decision by the collegium, which is supported by the government, then where will it lead to”? Justice Chandra chud also did not appreciate lawyers questioning the col legium’s decision and said that decisions are taken keeping in view “the national perspective”.
Justice Chandrachud told the lawyers that the issue would be duly examined. Is that setting a precedent?
Right or wrong, lawyers must defer to the collegium’s deci sions on transfer and eleva tion of judges. They should not avoid acting like a trade union to seek reversal of the collegium’s decisions.

Doctors attending on the farmer leader told reporters that the sugar level of Dallewal, who is on fast since Satur day, is low and a medi cal team has been sta tioned at the protest site in Faridkot to monitor his health.
The ongoing protests by farmers entered the sixth day on Monday.
BKU (Ekta Sidhupur) is spearheading the pro tests in Amritsar, Man sa, Patiala, Faridkot and Bathinda in Punjab in support of its de mands. Dallewal has ac cused the Aam Aadmi Party of acting the same way as the BJP did during the farmers’ stir against the now re pealed farm laws.
“We are sitting here for resolution of our de mands. If the govern ment does not accept then this fast unto death and our protests will continue like this,”
Farmers held protests for eight months outside the offices of the deputy com missioners. When nobody listened to us, we were compelled to come on the roads.
Dallewal told reporters in Faridkot.
He said farmers were compelled to stage sitins on roads after their protests outside the of fices of deputy commis sioners failed to yield any positive action from the state govern ment. Dallewal said he is not going to avail medical aid and his fast in support of demands will continue.
“We are ready to give
treatment, but he is re fusing,” said a doctor who examined him.
Chief Minister Bhag want Mann had slammed the farmers’ unions on Friday last for frequently staging protests by blocking roads in Punjab to get their demands fulfilled, which evoked strong re action from farmers’ bodies, with the Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Sid hupur) hitting out at the

Dallewal had earlier accused CM Mann of deceiving farmers by not fulfilling demands which were earlier ac cepted by him.
“We were promised that sugarcane mills would start crushing from November 5 but it failed to do so. We were promised that Rs 2,500 per acre will be given for not burning stub ble. We were again promised no action will be taken against farm ers who burn stubble, but it failed on this front also,” Dallewal had last week said.

IIT study: MRI shows significant brain abnormalities post-COVID
New Delhi (PTI): Using a special type of MRI, researchers at the Indi an Institute of Technol ogy (IIT) Delhi have un covered brain changes in patients up to six months after they recov ered from COVID-19. Studies have shown that about 1 in 5 adults go on to develop long-term ef fects from COVID-19.
Neurological symp toms associated with long COVID include dif ficulty thinking or con centrating, headache, sleep problems, light headedness, pins-and-
needles sensation, change in smell or taste, & depression or anxiety. However, studies have found COVID-19 may be associated with changes to the heart, lungs or other organs even in asymptomatic patients.
The latest study, being presented next week at
the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, used susceptibility-weighted imaging to analyse the effects that COVID-19 has on the brain.
Magnetic susceptibil ity denotes how much certain materials, such as blood, iron and calci um, will become magnet ised in an applied mag netic field. This ability aids in the detection and monitoring of a host of neurologic conditions including microbleeds, vascular malformations, brain tumours & stroke.

The actor, a Kashmiri himself, said while it would take time for the cinema to evolve in the region, “if we want to

“If we want the whole country to see the sto ries from Kashmir, and that too with a new per spective, we have to bring a change our selves. We have to show different stories from here, the stories about those topics which have not been explored so far.

Only Congress can provide an option in Gujarat: Gehlot
l There will be startling results in Gujarat, says Gehlot lGujarat PCC has done assessment and set a target of 125 seats
ter and Senior Observer of Congress in Gujarat assembly elec tions, Ashok Gehlot is con fident of the party’s victo ry in the Assembly elec tions. In an interview with the Consulting Editor of Bharat24 Amit Mishra, Gehlot shared the reasons for his confidence and why he feels that Congress has an upper edge over BJP and AAP in Gujarat.
z Congress is con stantly raising issues of unemployment and inflation. Do you
think, after Ra jasthan, people in Gu jarat are able to un derstand that these are big issues?
Gehlot: The aim of Ra hul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is also simi lar (to raise these issues). The inflation has broken the back of the public. Although, Gujarat is con sidered financially well off, but there is a limit to price rise. There is se vere unemployment here and there is unrest among young people. The system of jobs for good governance is miss
ing here. This govt has failed and the entire cab inet had to be re-jigged. During Corona, the situ ation has not been good and people did not get treatment, and people died of spurious liquor.
z You have started in itiative of door-todoor campaign. How much will Congress benefit from it?
The five yatras of Con gress at the divisional level received warm wel come because there is unrest among the public against the present re gime. In 2017 also, there was anger among the public but this time, there is more anger. Only Congress can give an op
tion, no other party can. So, I think the Congress will benefit from this strategy.
z Last time also, you took the command and Congress got 77 seats. Do you think the Congress will
cross that figure or re main around that fig ure only?
The PCC has done an as sessment and set a target of 125 seats and we are moving towards that daily. Where we will reach, only time will tell.
z PM has accused
that people opposing Narmada Project have joined ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’?
PM Modi and Amit Shah are worried as such they are using such ‘Jumlas.’
Activists do their job and keep their view point in every state. It is not nec essary that the govern ment agrees to them all.
Medha Patkar kept op posing it, but the dam was constructed. ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is not of Con gress only. This Yatra is in the interest of the na tion. This is not good and the public is gradually understanding these is sues.
z AAP is also contest ing with full force. Do
you think AAP’s pres ence will lead to tri angular contest?
During the last one month, they cam paigned a lot. It is a mystery and Arvind Ke jriwal should answer as to why they campaigned a lot in Himachal Pradesh and later to tally withdrew from the contest. This is beyond comprehension.
z Your ‘Old Pension Scheme’ has become a role model. Congress is including it in its manifesto in other states also. How will you assure Gujarat people that schemes implemented in Ra jasthan will be repli cated there also?
We have promised people and the Congress govern ment will fulfil it. The health insurance scheme of Rajasthan should be implemented across the country. I publicly ap pealed to PM Modi at Mangarh event to repli cate the health insurance scheme across the coun try for social security. The ‘Ayushman Scheme’ is for limited people only. We have provided Rs 10 lakh insurance and in ad dition Rs 5 lakh acciden tal insurance.
z How assured are you about Congress’ victory in Gujarat? I think there will be startling results. I can say this much only.

WINTER ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN
arge parts of India are experiencing the onset of the Winter season. Eve ryone is busy bring ing out their warm clothes and wool lens from storage, drying them, dry-cleaning them, and readying them for the decreased temperatures to come.

Generally speaking, there is a lot of fun to be had in the winter. People love to cosy up with family in the warm con fines of a heated room and play games, read, and spend time together. It is also a wonderful time for food and fashion lovers. But what about kids? Are there activi ties that parents and caregiv ers can make kids do, spe cifically in the wintertime, that directly or indirectly develop their minds and brains and stimulate their intellect? Of course, there are. And all of them take their cues from nature itself!
Let us look at some of the in teresting, educational activi ties that we can make our children indulge in through the winter, and the benefits associated with each of them.

Winter, particularly for slightly older children, is also a great time to get some volun teer work. A stint of volunteering activity, be it at a local NGO (non- government organization) involved with food distribution, or even volunteer ing at one’s parent’s workplace, is the kind of experience that will keep kids engaged, busy, and constantly learning and exer cising their minds, preventing brain drain. The benefits of this type of activity, once again, are manifold.
First, it teaches children time manage ment, because they have to successfully juggle their school, leisure, non-academic pursuits, and vol unteer work, simul taneously. Second,
exposure to almost any kind of social-vol unteer work will sensi tize children positively and make them more aware and awakened citizens. Third, their minds will be positive ly and constructively occupied with the tasks at hand. And, if chosen correctly, these volunteering stints can also be immersive and fun pursuits. Each season presents chal lenges. At the same time, each season also offers unique chances and ways in which to engage children meaningfully, so that parents may curate a roster of activities that strike the right bal ance between fun and learning. Winter is no different. It is upon us, and we must dive right in. Happy Knowledge Seeking!

The actress who made her debut in the film in dustry earlier this year with Samrat Prithviraj alongside Akshay Kumar in the lead is no longer single as she is currently in a relationship with a Bengaluru-based businessman named Nikhil Kamath, reported Hindustan Times. The report stated that the two lovebirds have been together since last year.
The report further states that Manushi and Nikhil have kept their affair under
wraps and are also often seen going on trips together. Recently, the lovebirds went to Rishikesh. Not just that, but the two have also moved in together. “The two have been going quite strong. Cur rently, Manushi is focused on her Bolly wood career, thus she doesn’t wish to talk about her love life as it might take away the attention. Their friends and family are well-versed with each other and the two wish to keep it low-key," added the report.
However, the duo is yet to respond to the dating rumours. Meanwhile, Kamath previously married Amanda Puravanka ra in Florence, Italy in 2019. Later, the couple got separated and got divorced in 2021.On the work front, Manushi Chhillar will also appear alongside John Abraham in Dinesh Vijan’s Tehran. The film will be released on 26th January 2023.

Guests are wel comed into the yel low-green, Amaltasthemed interiors, with overhanging ceiling fins, colour ful furnishings and bright yet calming vibes, inducing a sense of nostalgia for older times in Delhi. A gorgeous section has been created with a wall paper back drop of the beautiful Amaltas in full bloom, this is surely one for an In stagram frame.
Helmed by Chef Udit Maheshwari, the elegant dining place offers a multitude of unique dishes along with a selection of exciting
drinks that guaran tees an unforgetta ble gastronomical experience. The fla voursome Modern Indian food menu offers a spectacular list of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Tapas-style small
plates. What’s dif ferent is the intro duction of some completely un heard-of sections such as Savoury Desserts & Snack able bread which will prove to be a re freshing change from the usual In dian dining affair. The signature delicacies such as Kuchampuli Chick en Wings are an In dian take on barbe qued wings, Kutt Kofta made with plant-based meat, Sweet corn Momos with Lebu broth that is inspired by Kolkata’s momos & soup, Bandel Cheese Seekh Kebab and Mangalorean Cauliflower Roast. Kalim pong Cheese Tart and Jalebi Chaat from their savoury Dessert sec tion are already crowd favourites. The menu has been curated with the in clusion of several vegans, dairy-free and gluten-free dishes - some thing which is very difficult to achieve in Indi an cuisine.
