SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence RBI Policy Decoded The Repo Rate Hike: Inflation Gave the Cover, the Rupee Gave the Reason The RBI raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. With the rupee at ₹96.78 to the dollar, the Fed at 3.75–4.00 percent and bank credit growing near 18 percent, the fuller story is bigger than August CPI of 4.8 percent. The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. It is the first hike since February 2023, and the stance has moved from neutral to calibrated tightening. The rate decision was unanimous. The Governor cited inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee said the inflation outlook is no longer as comfortable as it was last year, and near-term rate cuts were taken off the table.

Kansas bill to abolish death penalty gets hearing

India should also immediately bring in such a bill abolishing the horrendous crime committed upon human civilization--the Death Penalty (or Capital Punishment). Let it be practised in the Barbaric States of the world and not in India.

We already know how in some Taliban like countries, hands are legs are chopped off of human beings.... Are human being animals??!! The question remains which God is saying all these draconian things??

India is a civilised country and Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, etc. have decent religious laws to govern them......Jesus Christ said, "Hate Sin and not the Sinner"

Kansas, US: A bill abolishing the Kansas death penalty is scheduled to have a Senate committee hearing.

The Judiciary Committee plans to hear testimony Thursday on the proposal by Sen. Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican. It plans to vote Friday on whether to send the bill to the chamber for debate.

McGinn says abolishing the death penalty would save the state money because it would eliminate the high costs of capital cases.

The bill would ban the death penalty after July 1 but wouldn't change death sentences already imposed. The last time the state carried out an execution was in 1965.

Senate leaders say it's hard to gauge the level of support because only three of the 40 senators were around when the death penalty was reinstated in 1994
