INDIAN SHARE MARKET: PRESENT & FUTURE

Image
  INDIAN SHARE MARKET PRESENT & FUTURE SARASIJ MAJUMDER I saw a few comments on social media on present fall in Equity Market, and thought that I should try to explain the ‘Cause, and Effect’ situation. SEPTEMBER—2026: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were heavy net sellers in September, pulling an estimated ₹35,861 crore to ₹45,536 crore out of Indian equities. The selling intensified sharply in the final week of the month, accounting for nearly 78% of the month's total outflow. This aggressive sell-off triggered an 8-week losing streak for the Nifty 50. Key sectoral impacts and insights from the September outflow data: • Financial Services Hit Hardest: The banking and financial services sector bore the brunt of the foreign exit, accounting for over a third of the selling pressure, with FIIs dumping ₹13,147 crore worth of financial stocks. • Other Targeted Sectors: FIIs also aggressively trimmed weightages in Oil & Gas/Consumable Fuels, FMCG, and Tele...

NEPAL NEWS:

 Gorkha District Flash Flood:

• The Cause: On Sunday, October 11, a massive rock and ice avalanche on the southern slopes of the Chamar massif triggered a dry landslide in Chumnubri village. This temporarily blocked the Budhi Gandaki River. The natural dam subsequently burst, unleashing millions of cubic meters of muddy water and debris downstream.

• The Damage: The raging torrent has completely swept away roughly 35 to 45 homes across multiple settlements (including Salleri and Jagat Bagar), destroyed at least four major bridges, and significantly damaged three under-construction hydropower projects.

• Casualties & Rescues: At least five people remain missing. The Nepal Army has deployed helicopters and ground forces, successfully airlifting and evacuating dozens of locals.

• Stranded Trekkers: Over 100 foreign hikers are currently stranded along the popular Manaslu Circuit trek because parts of the main trail and suspension bridges were completely washed out. Local authorities report that they are safe in local tea houses and restaurants while rescue routes are evaluated.

• Compound Crisis: This disaster strikes just six weeks after the catastrophic late-August Bhotekoshi floods, which killed over 1,450 people, compounding the country's humanitarian and infrastructure strain. Emergency logistics meetings are actively being held in Kathmandu by the Logistics Cluster to coordinate the relief response

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years.

KNOW THY LEADER AND IDENTIFY ENEMY

Image
  KNOW THY LEADER AND   IDENTIFY ENEMY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Think about it—the man who has effectively FIRST MARGINALIZED   AND THEN ALMOST ERASED Arvind Kejriwal (AK-49) & HIS   PARTY without even uttering his name. AK-49 was once a ‘DEEP STATE’ man, later dumped. Uddhav Bhai is gasping for political life!! Congress party IS LIVING SOMETIME IN ICU , SOMETIME IN VENTILATOR for the last 12 years . And who ensured that elections were conducted relatively peacefully in a state like West Bengal—where, at one time, voting was synonymous with violence, gunfire, bombings, and loss of hundreds of lives. Who, and whose party and whose Leaders achieved the above? Introspect. Who revoked Article 370—a decision that Political Pundits & Critics once claimed would start with   a bloodbath in Kashmir, ultimately end with getting Kashmir joining with PAKISTAN. Well—the situation is different!! Who has largely brought the menace of stone-pelters in Kashmi...
