BigWater Protocol Launches Blockchain-Based Platform for Global Climate Action
As the world confronts an escalating climate emergency marked by rising global temperatures, deforestation, water scarcity, and deteriorating air quality, the need for inclusive and scalable solutions has never been greater. BigWater Protocol introduces a new initiative that leverages blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and community engagement to support environmental sustainability on a global scale.
A New Era of Regenerative Action
The Protocol amplifies what nature has always known: trees are our planet's first air purifiers. With afforestation as its core, BigWater supports India's Net Zero by 2070 pledge announced at COP26 by PM Narendra Modi. The Protocol will integrate a wide range of green initiatives — from biodiversity conservation to ecosystem restoration — under the Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) umbrella, incentivizing citizens to participate in environmental stewardship.
BigWater Protocol leverages the power of blockchain, geospatial intelligence, and decentralized governance to align with global environmental commitments — including the Paris Agreement, UN SDGs, and India's climate vision. This isn't an isolated initiative — it's a global movement designed to redefine how humanity interacts with the Earth.
Key Highlights
Built on the XDC Network – An enterprise-grade, EVM-compatible blockchain for tokenizing real-world assets.
Backed by Global Safe Water Foundation – A US 501(c)(3) organization subsidizing DePIN device costs to support increased clean water access in emerging countries.

How the US Weaponized Pakistan Against India
Many in New Delhi welcomed President Donald Trump's return to power, expecting him to take the Indo-US relationship to new heights. They must wonder where it all went wrong, given that Trump launched an unprecedented broadside against India this week — threatening tariffs of 25% and warning that a surcharge would be added unless India stops buying Russian oil and weapons. He even expressed dissatisfaction with the nation's participation in the 'anti-US' BRICS grouping. Normally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi might just overlook a few social media posts. It may be humiliating to wind up with higher tariff rates than India's peers after wooing Trump, but that can be shrugged off as well. Yet the president didn't stop at trade. He twisted the knife by announcing a tariff deal with Pakistan on the very same day — and added that US companies would help India's troubled neighbor extract oil from recently discovered reserves, and that ' maybe they'll be selling oil to India one day.'

Sacred Buddha Jewels Pulled From Sotheby's Sale Return to India
Summary The trove of ancient gems tied to the remains of the Buddha has been returned to India, following international uproar over Sotheby's attempt to auction the objects inMay. On July 30, India's Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi took toXto announce the repatriation, calling it 'a joyous day for [India's] cultural heritage.' The 334-piece piece made a safe trip back to the country, where they were greeted by several Buddhist monks upon their return. A joyous day for our cultural heritage! It would make every Indian proud that the sacred Piprahwa relics of Bhagwan Buddha have come home after 127 long years. These sacred relics highlight India's close association with Bhagwan Buddha and his noble teachings. It also… — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi)July 30, 2025 Made up of gold, amethyst, garnets, coral, pearls and shells, the cache had initially been unearthed in 1898 at a stupa in Piprahwa, near present-day Uttar Pradesh, close to the Buddha's birthplace. Originally discovered by British engineer William Claxton Peppé, the relics were found alongside what are believed to be fragments of the Buddha's remains. Scholars and Buddhist leaders consider gems, bones and ash fall into the same caliber of holiness, regarding the three as inseparable. The jewels were set to go under the hammer at Sotheby's Hong Kong on May 7. However, the sale was postponed and eventually cancelled after protests from academics, Buddhist leaders and India's Ministry of Culture. The ministryarguedthat the artifacts were part of the 'inalienable religious and cultural heritage of India'— which Chris Peppé — William Claxton's fourth generation heir — had no right to transfer ownership. After two months of diplomatic negotiations between Sotheby's, the seller, potential buyer and the Indian government, the auction house confirmed the relics' return. 'Sotheby's is thrilled to have played such a central role in securing this historic outcome,' the house wrote in a recent statement.

Trump Embraces Economic Coercion With Tariffs as His Big Stick
Back in January, a global survey found that Indians were the most upbeat of any nation about what a second Donald Trump presidency would mean for their country. They're likely having second thoughts now. Trump just dinged India with a 25% tariff rate — higher than many other Asian nations, though he's leaving the door open for last-minute haggling. He cited New Delhi's own trade barriers, but rebuked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government over lots of other things too – including its BRICS membership, and close ties with Russia. 'They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care,' he posted on social media.
