- Income inequality has broad implications for social mobility, opportunity, and political cohesion.
- State-level disparities emphasize the need for targeted policy interventions to achieve inclusive growth.
- The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is expected to have global repercussions, impacting India as well.
- Soft crude oil prices in the past decade have aided India economically, but prolonged conflict could disrupt this stability.
- India's decision to abstain from UNSC voting on the conflict indicates its stance and sympathies.
