Biggest Story In India Headlines 7th November 2024
Elon Musk’s public displays of endorsement for Donald Trump and his significant donation of a staggering $119 million to a pro-Trump PAC have been setting off firecrackers in discussions over the kind of influence that might Musk have on U.S. policies. As Trump campaigns for reelection, Musk’s endorsement seems less than coincidental, with many speculating that he is looking to mold regulations in ways that suit his business empire, such as Tesla and SpaceX. Insiders say he sees regulations in general as roadblocks to innovation and efficiency, which makes the deregulatory bent of a Trump administration an attractive prospect.
While Musk has often criticized government oversight, Tesla and SpaceX have a high dependency on federal contracts, subsidies, and grants. A pro-Trump administration would likely expedite the interests of Musk in autonomous vehicle laws, lowering the oversight by regulators like the NHTSA to view Tesla’s self-driving systems. Another potential beneficiary of less stringent regulations is the Neuralink venture by Musk pending FDA human trials approval. While there are those who raise concerns over conflicts of interest, the influence of Musk points to a turning point in the nexus between tech and politics under America’s regulatory framework.
While newly elected Vice President JD Vance joined the President-elect Trump in celebrating the election win in 2024, he reminded everyone of his beautiful wife, Usha Chilukuri, saying: “To my beautiful wife for making it possible to do this.” Usha is an accomplished attorney, with roots from Andhra Pradesh, India. She will be the first Indian-American second lady in U.S. history.
Usha Chilukuri’s journey to her place in the annals of American political history mirrors that of her success in the courtroom. A Yale Law School alumnus where she met JD, she is a corporate litigator and an accomplished partner in his political endeavors. The American-Hindu dual wedding has been followed by a blend of both practices throughout their public lives. Being a second lady, Usha shows further diversification of the American political landscape and marks an excellent milestone in Indian-Americans.
A very basic leave email by a Gen Z employee is the origin of a very much debated social media post about working etiquette. Siddharth Shah, an investor, posted a screenshot of the email wherein he was simply informed, “Hi Siddharth, I will be on leave on 8th November 2024. Bye.” The casual tone brought in pretty mixed reactions-the informal tone of such an email is considered a sign of generational change in workspaces by some; by others, it is considered unprofessional.
Many younger employees feel that they should have control over their time, while the elders feel that the outdated check-listing process keeps them professional. This Debate shines light on changing values in the area of employee communication and one wonders how much autonomy is too little and formality is too much in a workplace.
IIFA Utsavam Awards had host Rana Daggubati make a light-hearted taunt at the latest Mr. Bachchan featuring Ravi Teja. This lighthearted remark did not go unnoticed for Shankar as he responded on social media by saying, “All days won’t stay the same. Be it for me or anyone else.” Despite how short the words were, this presented his toughness amidst the criticism.
Also, Mr Bachchan, remake of the Hindi movie Raid, was released on August 15 but did not get impressive reviews and returns. Though fans of the director and hero Ravi Teja express urging messages on social media, it is considered a passing glance of ups and downs in film industry.
The victory of Donald Trump has given cautious hope to Moscow that the new US administration may also change policy in Ukraine. Valery Rashkin, the first deputy head of the Kremlin administration, and other significant Kremlin figures, such as former President Dmitry Medvedev, view the president-elect as a “useful” ally simply because his administration will minimize investments by Washington into Ukraine’s financial and military spheres. After all, while Trump’s business ties with Russian officials have been examined for years, the latter now cling to a new hope: his pragmatic approach may thus limit the U.S. involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
While the Kremlin marks the event rather quietly, it bears all the hallmarks of awareness of potentially stiff political opposition, especially with what seems increasingly bipartisan support for Ukraine in the U.S. Congress. Kremlin aides hope to be able to draw a more restrained attitude from the United States, which could alter the conflict’s dynamics.
Rupee again hits historic low of 84.2950 Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar owing to reactions at the market level to new economic policies of the United States and high capital outflows from Indian equities. The strengthening dollar has been exerting mounting pressure on emerging market currencies, and for India, the fall of the rupee has fed fears of inflation and import costs. Analysts believe RBI intervention might stabilize currency.
Fluctuations are to be seen continuously because uncertainty exists worldwide; U.S. fiscal policy will emphasize tax cuts and deregulation. Indian stock indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, took a fall because foreign investors continue to withdraw funds from the Indian market. More elements are inflation reports and the measures the RBI might take to curb volatility, which will decide the stability of the rupee in coming months.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suspended Defense Minister Yoav Gallant amid reported disagreements over the military strategy of the state against Gaza and Lebanon, in which Gallant reportedly voiced fears that Israel’s “vague” approach had failed to set proper “objectives”. He has been replaced by Foreign Minister Israel Katz. The day-long process of suspension has led to widespread protests all over Israel, with thousands rallying in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem against the suspension of Gallant.
The resignation of Gallant highlights the internal conflict within the Israeli cabinet regarding its policy on the protracted war with Hamas. Netanyahu is into heavy defense, but Gallant called for a different, more balanced policy which would ensure the safe release of Israeli captives. Protests against his removal indicate growing cleavages within the state about the military and diplomatic policies of the country.
There was a heated session in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly as MLA Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh went waving a banner demanding the restoration of Article 370 and the release of political prisoners. The protest led the BJP members to try to take over the banner, which led to a tussle between legislators. The gesture of the MLA has only pointed out the ever-going demand to restore Article 370, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status till it was removed in 2019.
Opposition MLAs, led by the PDP, supported Sheikh, adopting a resolution urging restoration of Article 370 forthwith and stating that the 2019 changes had vitiated the autonomy enjoyed by the State.
“This is an incident that typifies the political and emotional backlash against the constitutional position of Jammu and Kashmir.
In the first ODI of a three-match series, Afghanistan young spinner Allah Ghazanfar proved best. He took six wickets and gave his team a decisive 92-run victory over Bangladesh when Bangladesh were chasing 235. Bangladesh looked on top till Ghazanfar boded away the late middle overs wickets and took them down after quite a tough fight by rolling out his opponents for 143.
Bangladesh actually had some excellent bowling in the first half of the game to restrict Afghanistan. However, their batting collapse exposed some weaknesses in their chase strategy. A career highlight for the 18-year-old spinner Ghazanfar as he finishes with 6-26 puts Afghanistan into an excellent position to go ahead into the remaining matches of the series.
Two centuries from Keacy Carty and Brandon King resulted in an eight-wicket win for West Indies as they won a 2-1 series. Chasing 264, the pair produced the highest partnership any wicket has made against England in an ODI with 209 and West Indies finished in just 43 overs.
England’s innings, which really only took off from Phil Salt and Sam Curran, was set to rebuild after falling to 24 for four against West Indies pace attack. By then, Salt with 74 and Curran with 40 had steadied the innings but had ended up being short on total. On his way to his century, it was the first time for a player from St Maarten to cross the century mark for West Indies and a win in a series where they have been at their very best.
