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.

Muslims protest against Obama's visit; dub US as anti-Muslim
Press Trust of India / Lucknow November 05, 2010.
[But once Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said that he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda. Are some of the Muslims in India confused with the US and Obama??!!

A group of Muslims, led by the noted Shia cleric and member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Maulana Kalbe Jawwad, today staged a demonstration against the visit of US president Barack Obama here.
Scores of people, holding placards that read "Obama go back, dont disturb Muslims" and "American agent murdabad", gathered outside Bara Imambara after offering the Friday prayers here.
Branding both Israel and the US as anti-Muslims, Jawwad said that the central government should change the national policy towards these nations. "The visit of Obama will not benefit the country in anyway and linking it with progress is baseless," Jawwad said. The agitators also burnt an effigy of the US president. Heavy police force was deployed to check any untoward incident during protest, which passed off peacefully.
