The first Parliament sat for 135 days on an average between 1952-57. The 17 th Lok Sabha sat for only 55 days on an average between 2019 -2024.

In 2005, Bihar was India’s darkest spot.

Today:
Electrification up from 22% → 96%
Sanitation up from 15% → 70%
Drinking water access up 2% → 9% (piped)
Women with 10+ yrs schooling: 3% → 10%
Institutional births: 22% → 76%
Poverty falling faster than all-India average.

Yes, Bihar still lags. Yes, deprivation remains deep.

But the arc of the last 20 years shows something undeniable. Even India’s poorest state can bend its trajectory upward with focus, state capacity and political stability.

Foreign official US Treasuries held in Fed custody fell to $2.78 trillion in October, the lowest since 2012.

These are Treasury securities held by foreign governments, central banks, and other official international institutions through accounts at the Fed.

Foreign official holdings in Fed custody have declined -$166 billion since March.

Since the 2021 peak, securities in custody have dropped -$356 billion.

This signals weakening foreign demand for US debt and growing diversification away from US Dollar assets.

Gold has been one of the main beneficiaries of this trend.

The world is diversifying away from US debt. #NWO #Economy
