As we see Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) being developed across the globe by major central banks, this article is an attempt to take a quick look at how our accounting norms are catching up with this new innovation in the monetary world. Before we begin, it’s worth mentioning here that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has already launched a CBDC in India, named Digital Rupee (e₹), & it’s now available for general use through various apps launched by public & private sector banks, like eRupee by SBI or Digital Rupee by Kotak. I have been using it since a while & it’s quite decent experience so far. The seamless integration with UPI payment system makes it further convenient… Full article available here: makaranddesai.substack.com/p/accounting-f…

Poland says no to sending #Patriot missiles to the #US. France says no to Hormuz patrols. Switzerland halts arms exports. Italy and Spain say no to the use of bases. Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine: isolation. en.mdn.tv/91QR

👏🖤🙏 @GiorgiaMeloni: "On behalf of the government (of Italy), I express my firm condemnation of the massacre of girls at the school in Minab, southern Iran"

Italian Prime Minister Meloni: "I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel."

JUST IN: 🇮🇹🇺🇸 Italy blocks US military plane from landing in the country.

This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.

A law that isn’t the same for all isn’t a law. That’s the concern.

Americans miscalculated many things, rather they believed too much on Bibi Netanyahu’s assurances of swift campaign that would be over in few weeks. They miscalculated many things like: A) Swift Decapitation strike would lead to Regime Collapse discounting the IRGC’s ideological core & decentralised strategy ! B) Shock & Awe bombing would crumble Tehran’s will to resistance C) The Psychology of Shias of Iran to fight & sacrifice D) The Geographical Fortress of Iran to land invasions E) Iran’s ability to expand the warfare horizontally in GCC states. F) Low cost drone warfare, ballistic and hypersonic missile with deep underground cities. G) Russian & Chinese help in Electronic Warfare, Strategic Targeting & Intelligence, Satellite Imagery of real time US assets/bases. H) Capacity to retaliate on energy infra in Israel, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia I) The determination of Iranians to control Strait Of Hormuz, block it & impose a Petro Yuan toll booth on it.

Winding down the war is the right call, but for any peace agreement/exit plan to work we must restrain Israel 1st. Israel will thwart any peace deal or come back to us in a few months demanding more support to topple the Ayatollahs & IRGC unless we restrain them now. Restraining the Israelis means taking away the military aid & support they need to conduct offensive military ops in Iran.

❗️ Iran threatens Microsoft, Apple, Google & other top US companies 'For every assassination, one American company will be destroyed' 'Expect destruction of their relevant units starting Wednesday, April 1, in response to each assassination in Iran'

This unironically then is the beginning of the end of the US empire: Militarily unable to collapse the Iranian regime from the air, sparking a global energy crisis for critical US allies and then telling them to go and fix the crisis we created

How IT Act Powers Are Killing Online Dissent |@manuvichar When the internet is policed without safeguards, democracy risks losing a vital space for dissent and debate. #ITAct #ITRules livelaw.in/articles/how-i…

The draft IT rules are proof that the govt is allergic to free press. If notified, these rules will allow the govt to ban any independent journalist’s online content. Indians heavily rely on independent journalists for news that affects them, things that mainstream channels or publications do not necessarily cover. Without independent journalists, there’s no way of knowing if a “toolkit” is being used to spread fake news or not. We have a fundamental right to information, and a right against misinformation and disinformation. These rules bypass existing stay orders by courts and also violate the SC’s Shreya Singhal judgement.

The old website of the Bombay High Court (bombayhighcourt.nic.in) will be discontinued from tomorrow, April 1, 2026, as the new portal bombayhighcourt.gov.in becomes fully operational.

X Corp, formerly Twitter, has informed the Delhi High Court that the parody account of Dr. Nimo Yadav has been blocked on the orders of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for controversial posts and defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
