The standard legend of India’s Green Revolution centers on two propositions. First, India faced a food crisis, with farms mired in tradition and unable to feed an exploding population; and second, Borlaug’s wheat seeds led to record harvests from 1968 on, replacing import dependence with food self-sufficiency.
Recent research shows that both claims are false.
India was importing wheat in the 1960s because of policy decisions, not overpopulation. After the nation achieved independence in 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru prioritized developing heavy industry. U.S. advisers encouraged this strategy and offered to provide India with surplus grain, which India accepted as cheap food for urban workers.
Meanwhile, the government urged Indian farmers to grow nonfood export crops to earn foreign currency. They switched millions of acres from rice to jute production, and by the mid-1960s India was exporting agricultural products.
Borlaug’s miracle seeds were not inherently more productive than many Indian wheat varieties. Rather, they just responded more effectively to high doses of chemical fertilizer. But while India had abundant manure from its cows, it produced almost no chemical fertilizer. It had to start spending heavily to import and subsidize fertilizer.
India did see a wheat boom after 1967, but there is evidence that this expensive new input-intensive approach was not the main cause. Rather, the Indian government established a new policy of paying higher prices for wheat. Unsurprisingly, Indian farmers planted more wheat and less of other crops.
Once India’s 1965-67 drought ended and the Green Revolution began, wheat production sped up, while production trends in other crops like rice, maize and pulses slowed down. Net food grain production, which was much more crucial than wheat production alone, actually resumed at the same growth rate as before.
But grain production became more erratic, forcing India to resume importing food by the mid-1970s. India also became dramatically more dependent on chemical fertilizer.
According to data from Indian economic and agricultural organizations, on the eve of the Green Revolution in 1965, Indian farmers needed 17 pounds (8 kilograms) of fertilizer to grow an average ton of food. By 1980, it took 96 pounds (44 kilograms). So, India replaced imports of wheat, which were virtually free food aid, with imports of fossil fuel-based fertilizer, paid for with precious international currency.
Today, India remains the world’s second-highest fertilizer importer, spending US$17.3 billion in 2022. Perversely, Green Revolution boosters call this extreme and expensive dependence “self-sufficiency.”

Smoke and Ashes: Opium's Hidden Histories
"Smoke and Ashes: Opium’s Hidden Histories" is a sweeping and jarring work of how opium became an insidious capitalistic tool to generate wealth for the British Empire and other Western powers at the expense of an epidemic of addiction in China and the impoverishment of millions of farmers in India. The legacy of this “criminal enterprise,” as the author puts it, left lasting influences that reverberate across cultures and societies even today.
Written in engaging language, Smoke and Ashes is a scholarly follow-up to the author’s famous Ibis trilogy, a collection of fiction that uses the opium trade as its backdrop. In Smoke and Ashes, the author draws on his years-long research into opium supplemented by his family history, personal travels, cross-cultural experience, and expertise in works of historical verisimilitude. Composed over 18 chapters, the author delves into a diverse set of primary and secondary data, including Chinese sources. He also brings a multidimensional angle to the study by highlighting the opium trade's legacy in diverse areas such as art, architecture, horticulture, printmaking, and calligraphy. 23 pictorial illustrations serve as powerful eyewitness accounts to the discourse.
This book should interest students and scholars seeking historical analysis based on facts on the ground instead of colonial narratives. Readers will also find answers to how opium continues to play an outsize role in modern-day conflicts, addictions, corporate behavior, and globalism.
Amitav Ghosh’s research convincingly points out that while opium had always been used for recreational purposes across cultures, it was the Western powers such as the British, Portuguese, the Spaniards, and the Dutch that discovered its significant potential as a trading vehicle. Ghosh adds that colonial rulers, especially the British, often rationalized their actions by arguing that the Asian population was naturally predisposed to narcotics. However, it was British India that bested others in virtually monopolizing the market for the highly addictive Indian opium in China. Used as a currency to redress the East India Company (EIC)’s trade deficit with China, the opium trade by the 1890s generated about five million sterling a year for Britain. Meanwhile, as many as 40 million Chinese became addicted to opium.
Eastern India became the epicenter of British opium production. Workers in opium factories in Patna and Benares toiled under severe conditions, often earning less than the cost of production while their British managers lived in luxury. Ghosh asserts that opium farming permanently impoverished a region that was an economic powerhouse before the British arrived. Ghosh’s work echoes developmental economists such as Jonathan Lehne, who has documented opium-growing communities' lower literacy and economic progress compared to their neighbors.
Ghosh states that after Britain, “the country that benefited most from the opium trade” with China, was the United States. American traders skirted the British opium monopoly by sourcing from Turkey and Malwa in Western India. By 1818, American traders were smuggling about one-third of all the opium consumed in China. Many powerful families like the Astors, Coolidges, Forbes, Irvings, and Roosevelts built their fortunes from the opium trade. Much of this opium money, Ghosh shows, also financed banking, railroads, and Ivy League institutions. While Ghosh mentions that many of these families developed a huge collection of Chinese art, he could have also discussed that some of their holdings were most probably part of millions of Chinese cultural icons plundered by colonialists.
Ghosh ends the book by discussing how the EIC's predatory behaviors have been replicated by modern corporations, like Purdue Pharma, that are responsible for the opium-derived OxyContin addiction. He adds that fossil fuel companies such as BP have also reaped enormous profits at the expense of consumer health or environmental damage.
Perhaps one omission in this book is that the author does not hold Indian opium traders from Malwa, such as the Marwaris, Parsis, and Jews, under the same ethical scrutiny as he does to the British and the Americans. While various other works have covered the British Empire's involvement in the opium trade, most readers would find Ghosh's narrative of American involvement to be eye-opening. Likewise, his linkage of present-day eastern India's economic backwardness to opium is both revealing and insightful.
Winner of India's highest literary award Jnanpith and nominated author for the Man Booker Prize, Amitav Ghosh's works concern colonialism, identity, migration, environmentalism, and climate change. In this book, he provides an invaluable lesson for political and business leaders that abdication of ethics and social responsibility have lasting consequences impacting us all.

An indictment from the US Department of Justice may have solved the mystery of how disgraced cryptocurrency exchange FTX lost over $400 million in crypto. The indictment, filed last week, alleges that three individuals used a SIM-swapping attack to steal hundreds of millions in virtual currency from an unnamed company. The timing and the amount stolen coincides with FTX's theft. Meanwhile, in a letter obtained by WIRED this week, seven lawmakers have demanded the DOJ stop funding biased and inaccurate predictive policing tools until the agency has a way to ensure law enforcement won’t use them in a way that has a “discriminatory impact.”
In Florida, prosecutors say a 17-year-old named Alan Winston Filion is responsible for hundreds of swatting attacks around the United States. The news of his arrest was first reported by WIRED days before law enforcement made it public. It was the culmination of a multi-agency manhunt to piece together a trail of digital breadcrumbs left by the teenager. In Ukraine, unmanned aerial vehicles have been powerful tools since the Russian invasion began in February 2022. But as the war rages on, another kind of unmanned robot has increasingly appeared on the front-lines: the unmanned ground vehicle, or UGV.
For months lawyers affiliated with an India based hacker-for-hire firm called Appin Technology have used legal threats to censor reporting about the company’s alleged cyber mercenary past. The EFF, Techdirt, MuckRock, and DDoSecrets are now pushing back, publicly sharing details for the first time about the firm's efforts to remove content from the web. It’s a dangerous world out there, so we’ve also got a list of some major patches issued in January that you can use to update your devices to keep them secure.
And there’s more. Each week, we highlight the news we didn’t cover in-depth ourselves. Click on the headlines below to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.
China’s Hackers Keep Targeting US Water and Electricity Supplies
For years Western security officials have warned about the threat of China collecting data about millions of people and the country’s hackers infiltrating sensitive systems. This week, Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray said hackers affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party are constantly targeting US critical infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, the electrical grid, and oil and gas pipelines. Wray’s testimony, at a House subcommittee on China, came as the FBI also revealed it removed malware from hundreds of routers in people’s homes and offices that had been planted by the Chinese hacking group Volt Typhoon.
“China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities,” Wray said in the public appearance. “Low blows against civilians are part of China’s plan.” The FBI director added that China has a bigger hacking operation than “every other major nation combined,” and claimed that if all of the FBI’s cyber-focused agents were assigned to work on issues related to China, they would still be outnumbered “by at least 50 to 1.”
While concerns about the scale of China’s espionage and cyber operations aren’t new, the US intelligence community has been increasingly vocal and worried about critical infrastructure being targeted by Volt Typhoon and other groups. “The threat is extremely sophisticated and pervasive,” NSA officials warned in November. In May 2023, Microsoft revealed it had been tracking Volt Typhoon intrusions at communications and transportation infrastructure, among other critical infrastructure, in US states and Guam.
The FBI and DOJ, also revealed this week that they remotely removed the KV Botnet malware from hundreds of routers infected by Volt Typhoon. The impacted routers, from Cisco and Netgear, were mostly at the end of their life, but were being used as part of wider operations. “​​The Volt Typhoon malware enabled China to hide, among other things, pre-operational reconnaissance and network exploitation against critical infrastructure like our communications, energy, transportation, and water sectors,” Wray said. It isn’t the first time US officials have obtained a court order to remotely wipe devices infected by hackers, but the move is still rare.
‘Untraceable’ Monero Transactions Have Been Traced, Police Claim
Since the first cryptocurrencies emerged more than a decade ago, there has been the assumption that the blockchain-based digital currencies are anonymous and untraceable. They are, in fact, very traceable. Researchers have shown how people can be linked to the transactions they make and law enforcement have used the techniques to help bust illicit dark web markets and catch pedophiles. There are, however, still some privacy-focused cryptocurrencies that appear to be less traceable than Bitcoin. This includes Monero, which is increasingly being adopted by sellers of child sexual abuse materials.
This week investigators in Finland said Moreno-tracing helped reveal the identity of a hacker who allegedly attacked psychotherapy company Vastaamo in 2020, stealing thousands of patient records and threatening to leak them unless people paid a ransom. Investigators from the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation claim they used heuristic analysis to infer where funds were moved to. The investigators did not reveal the full methods of how they allegedly traced the Monero payments, however, they add to the growing body of evidence that cryptocurrency tracing firms and investigators may be able to track the currency.
Russia Likely Behind a Spike in GPS Interference, Officials Say
Planes flying over Europe have faced a spike in accuracy issues with GPS systems used for navigation in recent months. The head of Estonia’s Defense Forces has claimed that Russia is likely the source of this interference, according to an interview with Bloomberg. “Someone is causing it, and we think it��s Russia,” Martin Herem told the publication, adding that Russia may be testing its electronic warfare capabilities and “learning” the most effective tactics. Across Europe, and particularly the Baltics region, there has been a reported increase in GPS jamming, with Finland reporting large interferences in December and pilots repeatedly reporting issues with their navigation systems.
Vault 7 Hacking Tools Leaker Joshua Schulte Sentenced to 40 Years
In 2017, the Vault 7 leaks exposed some of the CIA’s most sophisticated hacking tools, including how the agency could compromise routers, phones, PC, and TVs. Joshua Schulte, a former CIA engineer in the agency’s Operations Support Branch who prosecutors identified as being behind the data breach and responsible for leaking the materials to Wikileaks, was convicted in numerous trials in recent years. Schulte, who denied the allegations, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the espionage and also for possessing thousands of child abuse images. Judge Jesse Furman, sentencing Schulte, said he had caused “untold damage to national security.” In June 2022, The New Yorker published this comprehensive investigation into the data breach and Schulte’s troubled history working at the agency.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A northern Virginia man arrested on terrorism charges has a husband-wife relationship with another American who was dubbed by authorities as an " empress of ISIS " for her work to establish an all-female battalion of the Islamic State, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Mohammed Chhipa, 33, of Springfield, Virginia, was arrested last week on charges that he provided support to a terrorist group. Prosecutors allege that he transferred nearly $200,000 in cryptocurrency, with some of that money traced back to the Islamic State, to support Chhipa's stated goal of helping smuggle female ISIS members from detention camps. Other funds remain unaccounted for.
At a detention hearing Wednesday, prosecutors also disclosed a relationship between Chhipa and Allison Fluke-Ekren, an American from Kansas who is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Fluke-Ekren pleaded guilty last year to organizing and leading the Khatiba Nusaybah, a battalion in which roughly 100 women and girls — some as young as 10 — learned how to use automatic weapons and detonate grenades and suicide belts.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Aminoff told the judge that Chhipa considers himself to be married to Fluke-Ekren, although the marriage was apparently conducted online and has no legal status in the U.S. He said Chhipa, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from India, has been trying to adopt Fluke-Ekren's children.
Court documents in Fuke-Ekren's case do not mention Chhipa by name, but also indicate that Fluke-Ekren considered herself to be married to a man she met online. It is not clear that the two have ever met in person.
Whatever the relationship between Chhipa and Fluke-Ekren, the charges against Chhipa appear unrelated to that relationship. Prosecutors say that between November 2019 and July 2022, Chhipa used virtual currency to transfer more than $188,000 to accounts known and unknown. An FBI affidavit states that some money remains unaccounted for but that $18,000 went to wallets known to be used by ISIS women located in Syria, while $61,000 went to cryptocurrency wallets in Turkey. The affidavit states that money intended to arrive in Syria is often routed through Turkey.
The affidavit quotes text messages sent by Chhipa indicating he wanted the money to be used to bribe guards at detention camps where families of Islamic State fighters are still being held.
The affidavit says Chhipa also met with an FBI “controlled persona” — either an undercover agent or a confidential source — and accepted cash from the individual. Chhippa then transferred the money to Bitcoin and sent it directly to a known ISIS member, according to the affidavit.
Chhipa has been under investigation for years. Indeed, prosecutors say he fled to Egypt in August 2019, fearing he would be arrested after his home was raided. He was brought back to the U.S. after authorities contacted Interpol, but he was not charged until Monday. Prosecutors say Chhiipa continued to engage in illegal conduct after he returned to the U.S., even though he know he was drawing authorities' scrutiny.
Family members who attended Wednesday's hearing did not comment, but passed out a written statement supporting him. The statement described Chhipa “as tirelessly working for the betterment of women and children” and said he "has been targeted by false allegations.
U.S. Magistrate Judge John Anderson ruled at the conclusion of Wednesday’s hearing that Chhipa should remain jailed while he awaits trial.

The tale of the millionaire (virtual) real property agent…
Digital currencies have been slowly gaining in maturity both in terms of their capability and the financial infrastructure that enables them for use as a credible alternative to non-virtual fiat currency. Though Bitcoin, the 1st and most widely recognized of the crypto-currencies was created in 2009 there were sorts of digital currencies utilized in video video Top NFT Games for extra than 15 years. 1997's Ultima Online was the first exceptional try to comprise a big scale virtual financial system in a recreation.

Released in 1999, EverQuest took virtual currency gaming a step in addition, allowing players to alternate virtual goods among themselves in-recreation and although it become prohibited with the aid of the game's clothier to also promote virtual objects to each other on eBay.

These characters would then be bought on eBay to Western game enthusiasts who have been unwilling or unable to put in the hours to degree-up their own characters. Based at the calculated alternate rate of EverQuest's foreign money due to the real international buying and selling that happened Edward Castronova, Professor of Telecommunications at Indiana University and an professional in virtual currencies anticipated that in 2002 EverQuest become the 77th richest usa inside the international, somewhere among Russia and Bulgaria and its GDP per capita was more than the People's Republic of China and India.
Launched in 2003 and having reached 1 million everyday users by using 2014, Second Life is perhaps the most whole example of a digital economy thus far wherein it is virtual forex, the Linden Dollar which can be used to shop for or promote in-recreation goods and services can be exchanged for real international currencies through market-based totally exchanges.

India’s Cryptocurrency Regulations and Taxation: Navigating a Challenging Landscape
India’s relationship with cryptocurrency is complex, marked by a balance between regulatory caution and financial innovation. Since the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 2018 ban on banks supporting crypto exchanges, which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2020, India’s approach to crypto has oscillated between restriction and gradual acceptance. The proposed Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, though not yet passed, underscores the government’s intent to regulate crypto while working toward its own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
India’s 2022 Union Budget introduced a high 30% tax on cryptocurrency profits, categorizing Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) similarly to gambling or lottery earnings. In addition, a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on transactions over ₹10,000 further reflects the government’s cautious stance. These measures ensure comprehensive monitoring, as TDS applies even to peer-to-peer transactions and must be recorded in income tax returns.
The regulatory framework continues to evolve with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) now covering crypto, requiring exchanges to document every transaction detail. The RBI and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) have adopted different views: RBI advocates for stringent controls, while SEBI supports a multi-regulator system that would oversee crypto as a security.
As India moves forward with its pilot CBDC program, the landscape for private cryptocurrencies grows tighter. The country’s legal and regulatory efforts signal a readiness to integrate digital finance cautiously, curbing crypto’s anonymous nature and high-risk appeal while ensuring robust oversight. India’s crypto journey, therefore, is one of navigating innovation within the limits of regulatory clarity and caution.

Foreign Gold VS Indian Gold: Which Variety Fetches Good Value on Sale
Tumblr media
Gold is not just a Capital Asset for Indians but is embedded in tradition, culture, and heirlooms possessed by families. The ornamental value of gold jewellery has led to heavy investments over centuries and decades, leading to high demands across Indian markets. The rising demand for gold has similarly enhanced the number of gold dealers and jewellery stores, leading to an interconnected network.
Apart from the domestic market, India has been actively dealing with foreign gold markets. It’s a common misconception that foreign gold fetches higher value. The value of foreign gold often depends on currency fluctuations and asset demands across international and domestic gold markets. 
But how exactly can someone figure it out? An increase in online gold trading has influenced users to search for the best possible values. If you wish to sell gold for cash online, check out this blog for a comprehensive understanding. 
We’ll discuss the sale values of foreign gold and Indian gold, as well as associated premiums and factors determining the best possible returns. 
Continue reading to know more. 
Brief Idea about Indian Gold 
Domestic gold mined, traded, and processed within India is collectively termed Indian Gold. Indian gold is a common term used by Indian gold buyers and traders to indicate the purity and composition of the asset. Indian gold has dominated the local markets, regardless of physical and virtual platforms. 
Online trading platforms for gold have gradually increased over the years. If you are looking to sell gold for cash online, you need to know about the common properties of Indian Gold. Here’s what you need to know. 
Bright yellow colour with a shiny texture and pattern. 
Highly malleable and ductile 
Standard gold is measured at a higher purity of 24 karats. The lower the karat, the lower the value of gold. 
Generally, 18 karat is a mixture of gold and other metals.
Apart from all properties, a gold buyer will consider the price of gold based on the weight and purity of the metal. 
Indian Gold vs Foreign Gold: Key Points to Know 
Measurement Unit 
When it comes to comparison, the standard unit, karat, differs between Indian and foreign gold. The common karat in the U.S. is 14 karats, whereas in India, it is 18 karats. A higher measurement unit for Indian gold fetches higher sales value than the U.S gold when sold in India. 
If you opt to sell old gold jewellery in India, make sure that your foreign gold is between 18 karats and 24 karats to fit Indian standards. Although 14 karats of U.S. gold weigh less, the purity won’t be compromised. 
Chemical Composition
The sale value of gold depends simultaneously on its chemical composition. For instance, Chinese gold is often alloyed with cheaper metals or heavy metals like cadmium or lead. When valued in Indian markets, alloyed Chinese gold will fetch a lower sales value than Indian gold.
A significant reason for alloying Chinese gold is its high sales volume and profit margin within the domestic market. Gold vendors in China operate at a significantly larger rate than Indian vendors. As a result, the resale value of  Chinese gold can also fluctuate higher and lower than that of Indian vendors.  
Market Demands
The resale value of gold will similarly depend on the domestic demands across Indian and foreign markets. For instance, demand for Indian gold fluctuates according to festivals and occasions consistently hosted across the nation throughout the year. 
In foreign countries, gold is mainly valued as a capital asset rather than jewellery. As a result, the purity and standard of units of foreign gold jewellery are lower than those of Indian gold jewellery. 
If you sell gold for cash online, you need to check the composition and weight of your Indian gold, which will determine its higher sales value.
Key Takeaways
Indian gold is considered the purest among foreign gold, especially across U.S and China. Apart from the quality of chemical composition, the high market value increases the demand for gold. It is necessary to check the quality and weight of your gold before sale. Connecting with an authentic buyer will be your best choice for receiving the rightful cash mount in return.

Delivering Dreams: Filipino Drivers in India, Discrimination, Currency Fluctuations, and Social Media's Impact
The plight of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) is a complex tapestry woven with threads of sacrifice, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families back home. While the narrative often focuses on domestic workers and healthcare professionals, a growing segment of OFWs are finding employment in diverse sectors, including the rapidly expanding delivery industry. This article explores the experiences of OFW delivery drivers, particularly in India, the challenges they face, including discrimination, and the impact of currency fluctuations on their remittances. Furthermore, it examines the pivotal role of social media in shaping OFW communities and facilitating access to job opportunities, highlighting resources like OFWJobs.org.
The rise of e-commerce and online food delivery platforms has created a surge in demand for delivery drivers globally, and India, with its burgeoning digital economy, is no exception. This demand has opened doors for OFWs seeking employment opportunities in this sector. Attracted by the promise of relatively higher wages compared to other available jobs, Filipino drivers are navigating the complexities of working in a foreign land, often facing language barriers, cultural differences, and unfamiliar traffic conditions. The initial allure of higher earnings can quickly fade when confronted with the realities on the ground. Long working hours, pressure to meet delivery targets, and exposure to traffic hazards are common challenges.
One of the significant hurdles faced by OFW delivery drivers, particularly in India, is discrimination. While not always overt, subtle forms of prejudice can manifest in interactions with customers, local authorities, and even fellow delivery drivers from other nationalities. This can range from unfair treatment in terms of workload distribution to being subjected to derogatory remarks or stereotypes. The experience of discrimination can be isolating and emotionally taxing, impacting the overall well-being of OFW drivers. Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach, including awareness campaigns, cultural sensitivity training, and stronger legal frameworks to protect the rights of migrant workers.
Anti-discrimination campaigns play a crucial role in advocating for the rights and fair treatment of OFWs. Organizations dedicated to promoting the welfare of migrant workers are actively working to raise awareness about the challenges faced by OFWs in various sectors, including delivery services. These campaigns often involve educating employers and the wider community about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. They also provide support services to OFWs who have experienced discrimination, offering legal assistance, counseling, and access to resources that can help them navigate challenging situations.
The economic landscape plays a significant role in the lives of OFWs, and periods of currency fluctuations can have a profound impact on their remittances. The value of the Indian Rupee relative to the Philippine Peso directly affects the amount of money OFWs can send back to their families. During periods of unfavorable exchange rates, the purchasing power of their earnings diminishes, impacting their ability to support their loved ones back home. This economic vulnerability underscores the need for financial literacy programs and access to secure remittance channels that offer competitive exchange rates. Understanding the dynamics of currency fluctuations and adopting strategies to mitigate their impact is crucial for OFWs to maximize the value of their hard-earned money.
The digital age has revolutionized the way OFWs connect, communicate, and access information. Social media platforms have emerged as vital tools for OFW communities, serving as virtual hubs for sharing experiences, seeking advice, and finding job opportunities. Facebook groups, online forums, and dedicated OFW websites provide a platform for individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences, creating a sense of community and belonging in a foreign land. These online spaces also serve as valuable resources for practical information, including tips on navigating the local culture, finding affordable accommodation, and accessing essential services.
Social media's role in facilitating OFW job opportunities cannot be overstated. Platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn are increasingly being used by recruitment agencies and employers to connect with potential candidates. OFW-specific job boards and websites, such as OFWJobs.org, provide a centralized platform for job seekers to browse available positions and connect with employers. This online accessibility has empowered OFWs to take greater control of their job search, reducing their reliance on traditional recruitment agencies, which can often be expensive and exploitative. By leveraging social media and online job platforms, OFWs can access a wider range of job opportunities and make informed decisions about their career paths.
OFWJobs.org stands as a valuable resource for Filipinos seeking employment opportunities overseas. The website provides a user-friendly interface for browsing job listings across various sectors and countries. It also offers resources and guidance for navigating the complexities of working abroad, including visa requirements, pre-departure preparations, and cultural orientation. By connecting job seekers with reputable employers and providing valuable information, OFWJobs.org plays a vital role in supporting the aspirations of Filipinos seeking a better future for themselves and their families. OFWJobs.org
The journey of an OFW, particularly in the delivery sector, is fraught with challenges. Navigating a foreign land, dealing with cultural differences, facing potential discrimination, and managing the impact of currency fluctuations are just some of the hurdles they encounter. However, the resilience and determination of OFWs are unwavering. They continue to strive for better opportunities, fueled by the desire to provide a brighter future for their families. The emergence of social media and online platforms like OFWJobs.org has empowered OFWs by providing access to information, support networks, and job opportunities. As the global economy evolves and the demand for delivery services continues to grow, it is essential to recognize the contributions of OFW delivery drivers and advocate for their rights and well-being. Addressing issues of discrimination, promoting fair labor practices, and providing access to resources that empower OFWs are crucial steps towards creating a more just and equitable environment for these unsung heroes of the global economy.
The increasing reliance on digital platforms for finding employment also brings its own set of challenges. The potential for online scams and fraudulent job postings necessitates a cautious approach. OFWs are encouraged to thoroughly research potential employers and verify the legitimacy of job offers before making any commitments. Furthermore, the digital divide can exclude some OFWs who lack access to reliable internet connectivity or the necessary digital literacy skills. Bridging this digital divide through training programs and access to affordable internet services is essential to ensure that all OFWs can benefit from the opportunities offered by the digital age.
The stories of OFW delivery drivers are often untold, their experiences hidden beneath the surface of the bustling delivery industry. These individuals, separated from their loved ones, work tirelessly to contribute to the economies of both their host countries and the Philippines. Their remittances are a lifeline for countless families, supporting education, healthcare, and daily living expenses. Recognizing their sacrifices and contributions is crucial to understanding the human cost of global migration. Supporting initiatives that promote their welfare, protect their rights, and empower them to achieve their full potential is not just a matter of social responsibility, but a recognition of their invaluable role in the global economy.
The narrative of OFWs is a complex one, encompassing both the challenges and the triumphs of working abroad. It is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and the unwavering pursuit of a better future. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the experiences of OFWs serve as a reminder of the human stories behind global migration and the need for greater empathy, understanding, and support for those who leave their homes in search of a brighter tomorrow.

On 19 July, WazirX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, suffered a significant security breach, losing around $230 million worth of digital assets. More than 43 lakh Indian users had invested in crypto currencies through WazirX. As per their legal advisors, customers will get a return of 55-57% of the funds. This means, 43% of the money may not be recovered. This makes it one of the largest security breaches in the cryptocurrency space in India. This incident highlights the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures, especially for companies handling sensitive financial data.
What Happened?
Hackers exploited a vulnerability in WazirX’s platform, leading to unauthorized withdrawals and raising concerns about the security of crypto exchanges in India. While WazirX has since taken steps to mitigate the damage, including temporarily pausing withdrawals and collaborating with law enforcement, the breach underscores the necessity for all businesses, particularly in the fintech sector, to prioritize cybersecurity.
Regulatory Landscape in India
in March 2023 were brought under the ambit of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002 (PMLA), after the Ministry of Finance (MoF) released a gazette notification that brought virtual asset businesses and service providers under the purview of PMLA.

India has stringent regulations aimed at protecting digital infrastructure and financial data. Key regulations and standards include:

Curbing money laundering by technological solutions in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has emerged as a global monetary hub, attracting groups, buyers, and economic establishments from around the world. Several foreign investors across the world throng into various states of the UAE in different sectors, including real estate, e-commerce, renewables, healthcare, virtual currencies, tourism, etc. Foreign investors, mainly from South Asian countries (India and Pakistan), and a few European states are making investments in real estate for nationality, but their money is doubted as a haven to launder their wealth.
As the UAE’s economic area expands, it faces an increasing hazard of being exploited for cash laundering activities. As if technology, financial crimes also witnessed advancements in recent times, and money laundering is one of these, having multiple branches. Money laundering is the technique via which criminals cover the origins of illicit price ranges, making them seem legitimate. This now not only undermines the economic system but also poses great threats to national safety. The UAE’s strategic place, various economic systems, and sizeable alternate networks make it a capability target for cash launderers. Therefore, enforcing powerful anti-money laundering (AML) solutions is crucial to detecting, stopping, and mitigating these risks. AML measures are essential for preventing illicit economic activities, safeguarding the economy, and upholding the UAE’s recognition as a dependent monetary middle.
The UAE has made vast strides in strengthening its regulatory framework to fight cash laundering. The Central Bank of the UAE, alongside other regulatory bodies, has established complete suggestions and guidelines that monetary establishments need to adhere to. These rules mandate the implementation of AML regulations, which include consumer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and reporting of suspicious sports. Compliance with these rules isn't always the most effective prison requirement but is also an important aspect of maintaining the integrity of the economic system.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and device studying are playing a pivotal role in enhancing AML efforts. These technological mechanisms enable economic institutions to investigate sizable quantities of information in actual time, become aware of styles, and detect uncommon transactions that could suggest money laundering. By leveraging this advanced equipment, banks and financial establishments can live in advance of criminals who continuously evolve their strategies.
Effective AML efforts require collaboration between economic institutions, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement organizations. In the UAE, there may be a robust emphasis on fact-sharing and cooperation to fight cash laundering. The UAE Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) performs a key role in collecting and reading monetary facts, ensuring that suspicious sports are promptly reported and investigated. This collaborative technique complements the effectiveness of AML measures and allows for the fast detection and prevention of illicit activities.
Recently, the UAE government issued a federal decree amending certain provisions of the federal decree on anti-money laundering, combating the financing of terrorism, and financing of illegal organizations. As part of the ongoing development of the legislative and legal framework, this decree seeks to enhance the legal structure that supports the efforts of the country’s relevant authorities in combating financial crimes. It also aims to strengthen the UAE's technical compliance with international recommendations and treaties on these matters.
The UAE’s worldwide financial popularity is a great asset that has to be protected. Money laundering sports can significantly damage this popularity, leading to a loss of investor self-assurance and capability sanctions from international regulatory bodies. By enforcing high-tech AML solutions, the UAE now not only safeguards its economic machine but also reinforces its dedication to transparency, accountability, and the guidelines of law. This, in turn, attracts greater international business and funding, contributing to the continued increase and stability of the economic system.
As cash laundering strategies become more sophisticated, the UAE has to continue to innovate and enhance its AML measures. This involves non-stop training and education for monetary experts, investment in the modern generation, and ongoing collaboration with global partners. By staying vigilant and proactive, the UAE can effectively combat money laundering and maintain its function as a leading international financial center.
In the end, anti-money laundering solutions are critical to the UAE’s banking and financial machine. They play a crucial role in preventing illicit activities, ensuring regulatory compliance, and shielding the US’s economic popularity. As the UAE continues to develop and appeal to global interest, the significance of robust AML measures cannot be overstated.
