Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday recalled the 26/11 terrorist attacks and reiterated that every terrorist organisation challenging India's security will be dealt with a befitting reply. NEW DELHI: Speaking at a function organised by Supreme Court to celebrate the 75th year of the adoption of the Constitution, PM Modi said, "In discharging the duties entrusted to me by the Constitution, I have always strived to remain within the boundaries set by the Constitution." The remark was possibly aimed at SCBA president and MP Kapil Sibal, who said that to protect the values of the Constitution and centrality of the people of India to governance, SC must keep reminding govt of the day about its duties to preserve the independence of the judiciary. The PM said, "Some wise man raised this issue, that's why I thought it fit to place my view. For this august gathering, a hint is enough and requires no elaboration." Modi began his speech by paying homage to victims of the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai and said while the country celebrates Constitution Day and pays homage to the framers of the Constitution, which remains the guiding light for his govt, "we must not forget the heinous terror attack on this day in 2008. I pay homage to those innocents who lost their lives." "I am reiterating the resolve of the country that every terror outfit which challenges the safety and security of the country will get a befitting response (muh tod jawab)," he said, hinting that the response of the then UPA govt to 26/11 was delayed and inadequate. The PM outlined the work of his govt in the last 10 years, and said: "Our aim is to provide a dignified quality of life to every citizen and achieve social justice." "The humane values of Ram, Sita, Hanuman, Buddha, Mahavir and Nanak, whose pictures adorn the pages of the original Constitution, are at the core of our policies," he said. Modi said Constituent Assembly chairperson Rajendra Prasad had said the country needed people at the helm of governance who do not want anything for themselves but keep the nation as the priority. He said his govt functions on the mantra of 'nation first'. CJI Sanjiv Khanna said judges while discharging their duties walk a razor's edge and attempt a balancing act while deciding issues involving conflict between rights of people. He said faith of the people is foremost for the judiciary along with transparency, efficiency and accountability. Referring to the oft-repeated political barb, "tyranny of unelected", for constitutional court judges, the CJI said, "Imagine a world where judges campaign for votes, solicit views and decisions from the public and make promises about future judgments. This ensures that its decisions are unbiased, without affection or ill-will, free from external pressures and guided solely by the Constitution and the law. Therefore, it is said that administration of justice is the firmest pillar of governance." CJI Khanna said though pendency of cases has crossed the dreaded five-crore mark, the disposal rate of cases registered a remarkable 102% this year in trial courts and 97% in SC. The institution of an equally high number of cases shows the faith of people in the judiciary, and the rate of disposal reflects the efficiency of the justice delivery system, the CJI said. While Justice B R Gavai gave the welcome address, Justice Surya Kant gave the vote of thanks. Centrality of rule of law in justice dispensation was the overlapping themes of the brief addresses of both SC judges. Minister of state for law and justice Arjun Ram Meghwal said the Constitution is a dynamic document that allows govt to achieve its objectives through policies for social justice.The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season!

API World: 4 API Development Tips To Drive Business ImpactThe US dollar is gradually falling from grace in the global financial architecture on account of rising distrust and diversification efforts made by countries that are ditching the hegemony of the greenback. Simultaneously, world's population is rising; therefore international trade in other currencies may augur well. The share of the US dollar in the global foreign exchange reserves has slid to its lowest in 29 years, according to the latest data published by the International Monetary Fund. Although the dollar is slowly losing its grip, it is still strong because of liquidity, stability and the established mechanism. The greenback's long-standing status as the world's dominant currency has been jeopardised in recent years amid concerns over the soaring US debt and its sanctions on rivals such as Russia, according to the RT news channel. As part of Russia sanctions that followed the escalation of Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the US cut off the country's central bank from dollar transactions. It later banned the export of dollar banknotes to the country and spearheaded a drive to freeze Russian assets abroad. Foreign Affairs magazine wrote in June that the sanctions on Russia had "undoubtedly left other central banks wondering whether their own dollar-denominated rainy-day funds would be locked up should their governments run afoul of Washington." In a speech at the BRICS summit in Kazan in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Washington's weaponisation of the dollar through sanctions and denying countries access to the Western financial system was a "big mistake" that would force them "to look for other alternatives, which is what is happening." Economic and public policy expert, corporate and management consulting firm Director Qanit Khalilullah said the global economy was witnessing increasing de-dollarisation as countries diversify their trade and foreign exchange reserves. "This trend is driven by US actions to weaponise the dollar, such as imposing sanctions and freezing reserves, as seen in the case of Russia." These actions have eroded trust and raised fears of over-dependence on the dollar. Additionally, rising calls for a multipolar economic world, regional trade blocs like BRICS and technological advancements in digital currencies have created alternatives. De-dollarisation reflects a desire for greater financial autonomy and reduced exposure to the US monetary policies, signaling a shift towards a more decentralised global monetary system. Countries are moving away from the US dollar to reduce vulnerability to geopolitical risks and sanctions. The US tendency to use the dollar as a political tool has alarmed nations, prompting them to seek monetary independence. Furthermore, reliance on the dollar exposes countries to the US Federal Reserve policy actions, which impact exchange rates and trade balances. Emerging economies are forming regional partnerships and adopting alternative currencies like the yuan or euro. Digital currencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) further enable nations to bypass dollar-based financial systems, secure sovereignty and facilitate localised trade settlements. "The decline in the dollar's share in global reserves to a three-decade low reflects a broader shift in the international monetary landscape. While this signals reduced dominance, it does not necessarily mean the dollar is falling from grace. Its role as a global reserve currency will remain strong due to its liquidity, stability and established infrastructure," Khalilullah said. "However, diversification into other currencies reflects diminishing reliance on the dollar amid geopolitical tensions and economic shifts. The dollar's status may gradually decline but will remain central to the global economy in the foreseeable future," he said. Although "non-traditional" currencies are gaining ground, despite the downward trend, the dollar has so far remained the pre-eminent reserve currency. On the one hand, it highlights a structural change in the global monetary system, where non-traditional currencies like the yuan and digital alternatives are gaining ground in trade and reserves. This signals an evolving multipolar world order. On the other hand, it underscores the enduring dominance of the US dollar, which continues to serve as the pre-eminent reserve currency due to its long entrenched use in international settlements, high liquidity, global trust and the absence of comparable alternatives. The distinction lies in recognising the growing diversification versus sustained reliance on the dollar's unique advantages. Rising sanctions have coerced Russia to de-dollarise. September data shows that Moscow and its allies in the BRICS group are making a better use of national currencies, which are utilised in 65% of mutual trade settlements. BRICS' growing use of national currencies signals significant progress towards de-dollarisation. This trend shows efforts to reduce dependence on the dollar, especially in light of the sanctions and geopolitical dynamics. However, the dollar's deeply entrenched role as a global reserve currency, supported by liquid markets and historical trust, is unlikely to be displaced substantially in the short term. Instead, the global economy may move towards a diversified system where the dollar coexists with regional currencies, fostering a multipolar monetary order where no single currency dominates entirely. International trade expert and economic analyst Aadil Nakhoda said there had been several instances of de-dollarisation throughout history, starting with the yen, then the euro, the yuan and now a currency being planned by BRICs. The yen and the euro have made a little impact. The availability of an alternative currency in the global market is a key factor in de-dollarisation. Rather than ditching the greenback, countries are trying to create their own narrative for dominance in the global market. With US policies becoming more trade restrictive, this narrative will likely grow. The trade deficit generated by the US results in higher supply of the US dollar in foreign markets. As efforts are made to curtail it, it may result in lower supply and consequently its reduced dominance. An international currency must not only be easily available but also involves less government intervention through policies. The yuan is heavily state-controlled while other currencies are unlikely to reach eminence. "We may see mutual agreements becoming more common as they reduce the risk involved with a third currency. However, trade between countries not involving BRICs is likely to continue in dollars. It is when these countries adopt other currencies, will we see non-dollar-based trade becoming more eminent. Consider how the dollar is prevalent in informal trade," Nakhoda said.

Former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama's campaigns were defined by sweeping education reform, improving public K-12 education for students across the nation. By 2024, the Democratic platform had largely abandoned this sentiment, and the education scene has increasingly been shaped by culture war issues that have Republicans winning with parents. President-elect Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris On Nov. 6 was due in no small part to the parent vote, winning 53% compared to Harris' 44%, according to NBC's exit polling. Only 44% of parents say they are somewhat or completely satisfied with the quality of K-12 education in 2024, an August Gallup poll found. "[T]he discussion on education has shifted from who wants to throw more money at the problem – the definition of insanity – to who trusts parents to direct the upbringing of their children," Corey DeAngelis, executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Too many Democrats are communists who think your kids belong to the government. President Trump believes parents should be in the driver's seat. The GOP is now the Parents' Party." Clinton closed out his administration in 2000 boasting huge success in solving what was an education crisis in the early 1990s, with only 14 states having standards in core subjects when he took office and 49 when he left, according to White House archives. In 1990, only 38% of graduating high school seniors had completed a full English, math, science and social studies curriculum, a number that rose to 55% by the end of Clinton's presidency, and the administration additionally worked to increase reading and math scores nationwide. The Clinton Administration also initiated the establishment of over 2,000 charter schools with his support of school choice, an issue that Trump and Vice-President elect JD Vance have pledged their support to, according to the Republican platform.
