ties, and the country setting a record by exporting $10

global manufacturing hub. Geopolitical shifts are highlighted by
India's decision to settle Russian oil payments in
Chinese yuan to navigate Western sanctions, and a

seat-sharing negotiations preceding the Bihar assembly
elections, while social issues are represented by a report
