He continued: "I once encouraged others to move here. The quality of life was excellent, and the people were usually so kind. But now I'd recommend Germany or the UK instead—and even better, the US—if you're looking to study or work abroad. Racism used to be rare here, but now it's turning dangerous."

Daksh's warning came in the wake of a shocking attack in Dublin, where an Indian man in his 40s—who had arrived just three weeks earlier to begin work at Amazon—was stabbed in the face, stripped naked, and left bleeding on a road for over an hour. The man was reportedly on his way to a temple when a group of around 10 teenagers ambushed him from behind, falsely accusing him of being a paedophile.

Local resident Jennifer Murray, who came to the victim's aid, recounted the horrific scene. While driving near a roundabout in Tallaght on Saturday evening, she spotted a large crowd—roughly 30 people, including teenagers and some adults—gathered around.
"I noticed a man standing alone, drenched in blood. He was bleeding from head to toe, and his nose wouldn't stop pouring blood. He looked at me and said, 'Please help me, please save me,'' Murray recalled. She immediately put him in her car and waited more than an hour for an ambulance to arrive.
Gardaí, Ireland's national police service, confirmed receiving a call around 6 PM. The victim was later taken to Tallaght University Hospital.
According to Murray, the attackers punched and kicked the man, slashed his face with a knife, and robbed him of his phone, wallet, shoes, and trousers—leaving him naked and traumatized in public.
Murray described the victim as extremely polite and visibly shaken. 'He was so embarrassed and shocked. I gave him a blanket to cover himself up. He could barely speak,' she said. Later, she visited his residence and informed the Indian family hosting him. 'They jumped into action. One of the housemate's wives told me she had warned him that Ireland wasn't safe.'
She also revealed that the victim was highly qualified, having studied at one of India's top institutions, and was recruited for a specialized role that couldn't be filled locally.
Murray further claimed that the same gang may be responsible for similar attacks on at least four other Indian men, all of whom suffered facial injuries.

Unclaimed money with Indian banks rises to Rs 67,000 crore, SBI with 29% of all such deposits
The quantum of unclaimed deposits with Indian banks stood at Rs 67,003 crore as at the end of the June quarter, with State Bank of India (SBI) accounting for 29 per cent of all such deposits, the Finance Ministry told Parliament on Monday. According to data shared by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary in response to a question in the Lok Sabha, 87 per cent of all unclaimed deposits were with public sector banks. Of the total unclaimed deposits of Rs 58,330.26 crore with state-owned lenders, Rs 19,329.92 crore was with SBI. The other public sector banks with sizeable chunks of unclaimed deposits include Punjab National Bank (Rs 6,910.67 crore), Canara Bank (Rs 6,278.14 crore), Bank of Baroda (Rs 5,277.36 crore), and Union Bank of India (Rs 5,104.50 crore). Private banks, on the other hand, held unclaimed deposits of Rs 8,673.72 crore, with ICICI Bank in possession of the most, at Rs 2,063.45 crore. Money in savings and current accounts that have not been operated for 10 years or term deposits not claimed within 10 years from the date of maturity are called unclaimed deposits. These funds are, after the expiry of the 10-year threshold, moved to the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). In a separate Parliament question in March, data from the Finance Ministry had shown that the amounts of unclaimed deposits rose sharply starting 2022-23. In the previous three years, the annual additions to the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund were slightly more than Rs 4,500 crore on average. However, in 2022-23, this almost tripled to Rs 12,254.29 crore before edging down slightly to Rs 11,794.17 crore in 2023-24. The pace was somewhat maintained in the first nine months of 2024-25, with Rs 7,946.49 crore being transferred to the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund. Seemingly in response to the rise in unclaimed deposits, the RBI had in June 2023 started a '100 Days 100 Pays' campaign for banks to trace and settle the 100 largest unclaimed deposits of every bank in every district of the country within 100 days. Subsequently, in August 2023, the Indian central bank had announced the development of a web portal to allow depositors to search across multiple banks for any unclaimed deposits. The portal, called UDGAM – Unclaimed Deposits- Gateway to Access Information – had more than 8.5 lakh registered users as on July 1, Chaudhary said on Monday.

Chhangur Baba, accused of running religious conversion racket, money laundering, send to five-day ED custody
Chhangur Baba alias Jalaluddin was remanded to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody on Monday by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Lucknow. The court was hearing a case related to a money laundering investigation against Chhangur and his associates linked to an alleged illegal conversion racket in Uttar Pradesh, officials said. According to a PTI report, Chhangur Baba alias Jalaluddin alias Karimulla Shah has been in jail in the predicate offence case being investigated by the Uttar Pradesh Police's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS). The ED had applied to the court for his custody following which it was allowed a five-day remand of the accused till August 1, the officials said. He will be questioned in jail and his statement will be recorded under the PMLA, they added. Earlier this month, the federal agency had conducted searches at Chhangur's native place in Balrampur district and two locations in Mumbai. The ED had said that the accused had received funds worth ₹ 60 crore in 22 bank accounts, including 'large amounts' from abroad. The money-laundering case against Chhangur Baba stems from the ATS FIR filed at a police station in Lucknow's Gomti Nagar under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act, 2021. Chhangur Baba, his son Mehboob and alleged associates Naveen Rohra alias Jamaluddin and Neetu Rohra alias Nasreen were arrested by the ATS. They are currently lodged in a jail. Chhangur Baba has been accused of being involved in a 'large-scale' conspiracy which includes religious conversions, utilisation of foreign funds, and activities posing a potential threat to national security, as reported by PTI. The ED said, 'Chhangur Baba and his associates are alleged to have established an extensive network operating from the premises of the Chand Auliya Dargah in Balrampur, where he regularly organised large gatherings attended by both Indian and foreign nationals.' 'He is accused of systematically inducing, coercing, and manipulating indiduals of other faiths, particularly Scheduled Castes, and economically disadvantaged persons belonging to Hindu religion, into religous conversion,' the probe agency added. The ED searches also led to the seizure of a number of documents that show that the 'proceeds of crime' (illicit funds) were majorly transferred to different people for purchasing a number of immovable properties worth crores of rupees and carrying out construction in these properties. All the immovable assets acquired by Chhangur Baba are in the names of Naveen Rohra and Neetu Rohra to conceal his actual involvement in money laundering, the ED has said.

India needs more Apples: Replicating Apple's model to attract top brands
The PLI for smartphones was extremely sophisticated in design, a win-win for all parties Listen to This Article While the jury is still out on many of the production-linked incentive schemes (PLI) introduced by the Indian government, one undeniable success has been the scheme targeting smartphone production. Used largely by Apple, and to a lesser extent by Samsung, this scheme has helped India export over $24 billion worth of smartphones in FY25, up from virtually zero in FY18. Today, India is the world's third-largest smartphone exporter, after China and Vietnam. Apple now assembles about 20 per cent of all iPhones in India, and this percentage is set to keep rising. While local value addition is limited — still
