Published: Feb 03 2025, 2 pmeznews.inIndia is keen to avoid any perception of protectionism, according to Finance Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey, following a reduction in import duties on high-end motorcycles. The decision came amid escalating trade tensions initiated by US President Donald Trump, who recently imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China but has previously criticized India as a "tariff abuser." Pandey emphasized that India's approach is not to increase protectionist measures, noting that the latest budget cut customs duties on motorcycles with engine capacities over 1,600 cc from 50% to 30%, lowering the average tariff from 13% to 11%. This move is part of India's strategy to reassure the Trump administration, which has raised concerns about high tariffs affecting American businesses and the status of undocumented Indian immigrants in the US. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address these trade and immigration issues in his upcoming meeting with Trump.
Published: Feb 03 2025, 1 pmeznews.inThe recent warming of relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh has sparked significant discourse in South Asia, particularly in India, where historical events—especially the 1971 war—shape perceptions of this evolving dynamic. Many in India believe that Bangladesh, born from Indian intervention, would remain allied with it; however, recent high-level military visits between Bangladesh and Pakistan suggest a potential realignment that challenges this assumption. Notably, a delegation from the Bangladesh Army visited Pakistan, and reciprocal visits from Pakistani officials have raised concerns about shifting alliances. While some view these developments as a threat to India, they may also signal a desire for cooperation against common challenges. Despite the backdrop of anti-India sentiment in Bangladesh, many pragmatists within its military recognize the risks of aligning too closely with Pakistan. Meanwhile, India continues to adopt a strategy of quiet diplomacy, remaining alert but unfazed by these geopolitical shifts.
Published: Feb 03 2025, 1 pmeznews.inIn a pointed address to Parliament on Monday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized both his party's UPA and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP-led National Democratic Alliance for failing to address India's persistent unemployment crisis. While highlighting the decline in manufacturing's share of GDP from 15.3% in 2014 to a historic low of 12.6%, he acknowledged Modi's efforts with the 'Make in India' initiative, describing it as a "good concept" despite its shortcomings. Gandhi emphasized that neither government has provided satisfactory answers to the youth regarding job creation, stating, "we have not been able to tackle the problem of unemployment." He further lamented India's reliance on Chinese manufacturing, illustrating his point by showcasing a mobile phone, which he noted was only assembled in India, with all components sourced from China. "Every time we use a phone or wear a Bangladeshi shirt... we pay a tax to them," he remarked, underscoring the need for better production organization in India.
Published: Feb 03 2025, 12 pmeznews.inIndian astronomer Dorje Angchuk has created a stunning time-lapse video illustrating the Earth's rotation against the tranquil backdrop of Ladakh, filmed at the Indian Astronomical Observatory in Hanle. The footage uniquely depicts the stationary Milky Way, with Angchuk aspiring to capture a comprehensive 24-hour time-lapse that transitions from day to night. Despite initial challenges, including difficulties in framing the constellation Orion and harsh weather conditions that drained camera batteries, Angchuk persevered through setbacks over four nights. By employing a motion tracker and mobile controls for exposure adjustments, he ultimately succeeded in producing a seamless sequence. His project, inspired by a request to aid students in visualizing the Earth's rotation, required meticulous post-processing to correct framing inconsistencies. Angchuk emphasizes that the time-lapse is best appreciated in loop mode and full screen to fully experience the dynamic movement of Earth beneath the vast, unchanging sky.
