Kolhapuri chappals, Goa's feni: Big boost for these Indian products after India-UK FTA
The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signed on Thursday, is set to be a major boost for Indian manufacturing and local entrepreneurs as the removal of tariff barriers would allow Indian labour-intensive goods to compete in the British market. Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Chequers near Aylesbury, England, Thursday, July 24(AP) The free trade deal, officially Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, will provide duty-free access to Indian goods such as leather, electrical machinery and chemicals in the British market. The India-UK agreement, which would provide a level playing field for Indian products in the British market, will double trade between the two economies from $56 billion at present to around $120 billion by 2030. Also Read: India-UK sign FTA, PM Starmer calls it 'most significant' deal since EU exit The FTA is set to benefit a wide range of Indian products- from fruits to Goa's feni, from Kolhapuri chappals to jackfruit, and from basmati rice to textiles. In a post on X, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that the FTA will allow duty-free access to about 99 per cent of Indian exports, unlocking nearly $23 billion in opportunities for labour-intensive sectors. How India benefits from FTA? The FTA would allow India duty-free access in agriculture goods in the UK, such as fruits, vegetables, spices and other agro-based products. Over 95 per cent of agricultural and processed food tariff lines will attract zero duty. This means that Indian products like cereals, turmeric, pepper, cardamom, and processed goods like ready-to-eat food, mango pulp, pickles, and pulses would be exported duty free to the UK. Also Read: Duty on single malt cut by half: What gets cheaper with key India-UK trade deal The agreement will also create market access for products like jackfruit, millets, and organic herbs. Several traditional craft beverages, including Goa's feni, Nashik's artisanal wines, and Kerala's toddy, are also set to gain recognition with Thursday's deal. Several Indian states to benefit Apart from agri products, the fisheries sector is also set to benefit with states like Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are expected to enter marine import market in the UK. The FTA also means that Maharashtra can export grapes and onions and Gujarat could send groundnut and cotton. Punjab and Haryana could export basmati rice, Kerala could send spices and fruit-based products from the Northeast states. Concessional rate to labour-intensive products The removal of tariffs would also help Indian women producers to freely access the UK's $23 billion market for labour-intensive goods such as textiles, leather, and footwear. Also Read: UK-India vision 2035 roadmap to boost trade and defence cooperation It would also allow the export of labour-intensive products like leather, footwear and clothing at a concessional rate to British markets. The agreement would empower women across sectors, including handlooms, heritage crafts, and clean manufacturing, by helping them integrate into global value chains, access finance, and expand their production. Kolhapuri chappals in UK stores The iconic Kolhapuri chappals crafted by women and family-run artisan groups in Maharashtra are also set to gain as the FTA allows the leather footwear products duty-free access to the UK market. The move will not only boost local and family-based manufacturing, but also help increase brand recognition, preserve cultural identity, and supporting exports of sustainable goods. Apart from Kolkhapuri chappals, the looms of Varanasi, the digital labs in Hyderabad and artisan clusters in Rajasthan are also set to benefit from the deal with the UK.

History Today: How Twitter became X under Elon Musk
One of the most important moments in the history of social media took place on July 24, 2023, when Twitter was replaced by X. With this, the iconic blue bird was also replaced by the black and white X symbol after entrepreneur Elon Musk acquired the social media platform in 2022 read more Elon Musk rebranded Twitter as X after he acquired the social media platform in 2022. File image/AP There was a time when people used to write their thoughts, opinions and even catch up with friends in 140 words. This was when social media platform Twitter was a favourite among the youth as well as celebrities. But, Twitter was replaced by X on July 24, 2023, after the company's takeover by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. If you are a history geek who loves to learn about important events from the past, Firstpost Explainers' ongoing series, History Today, will be your one-stop destination to explore key events. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD One of the most spontaneous debates during the Cold War took place between then-US Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the opening of the American National Exhibition in Moscow on July 24, 1959. The debate is popularly known as the 'Kitchen Debate'. Here is all that happened on this day. Twitter was rebranded as X Twitter's blue bird was replaced by the black and white X on July 24, 202, after the one-of-its-kind social networking platform was rebranded as X. The rebranding was part of a transformation of Twitter into a future 'everything app' after it was taken over by entrepreneur Elon Musk. The move came just months after Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022 for $44 billion. Since then, the platform has undergone sweeping changes, from major staffing cuts and subscription model tweaks to controversial moderation policies. The rebrand to X was arguably the most symbolic and polarising change yet. The Twitter logo visible at then-Twitter headquarters in San Francisco. File image/Reuters Musk had long expressed his fascination with the letter 'X', evident in his other ventures like SpaceX and (an online bank he co-founded that later merged to form PayPal). He envisioned X as a platform that would move beyond just social networking, aiming to integrate various functionalities to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem, akin to China's WeChat. Critics viewed the rebrand as abrupt and disorienting. Twitter's bird logo and name had become deeply ingrained in global culture. Replacing this iconic identity left many users confused and nostalgic. Some branding experts called it one of the most aggressive and risky pivots in tech history. Musk explained that the X brand reflects his long-held vision of building a comprehensive digital hub that combines messaging, payments, audio, video and even job listings. 'Twitter was just a name,' he tweeted. 'X is the future of unlimited interactivity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Kitchen Debate' between Nixon and Khrushchev On this day in 1959, then-US Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev engaged in a spontaneous and iconic exchange known as the 'Kitchen Debate'. It occurred at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park, an event designed to showcase American consumer goods and lifestyle. The debate was largely impromptu, taking place in various sections of the exhibition, but most famously in a model of a typical American suburban home's kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances like a dishwasher, refrigerator, and electric stove. Nixon proudly presented these items as evidence of the superiority of the capitalist system, arguing that they made life easier for American women and demonstrated the widespread affluence enjoyed by ordinary citizens. Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev debating at the American National Exhibition in Moscow, 1959. Wikimedia Commons Khrushchev, however, scoffed at the displays, dismissing them as frivolous gadgets and questioning their true value. He boasted about Soviet industrial and scientific achievements, particularly in space, and asserted that the Soviet Union would soon surpass the U.S. in both production and living standards. At one point, Nixon said, 'This is the kind of thing that makes people want to live in our country,' gesturing toward the modern appliances. Khrushchev countered, 'Your capitalistic attitude toward women does not occur under communism.' The debate was spirited but respectful, filled with both posturing and humour. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Kitchen Debate wasn't just about domestic appliances - it symbolised the competition for global influence between two superpowers. This Day, That Year On this day in 1974, the US Supreme Court ruled that President Richard Nixon had to provide transcripts of Watergate tapes to special prosecutor Leon Jaworski. In 1944, Soviet forces liberated the Majdanek concentration and extermination camp on the outskirts of the city of Lublin, Poland. Brigham Young and his fellow Mormons arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, on this day in 1847.
