transmission belt of central government but has created new institutions at the local level to gain control over new income generation projects, used vast amounts of land under its administrative

The inflation–growth relationship is anlaysed granularly, probing the data to understand if growth and credit synergies exist and the impact of inflationary headwinds on both. The article finds evidence of a credit–growth dichotomy, inflation surges and employment uncertainties. Inflationary expectations data suggest the trajectory of anticipated inflation to be moving up and question whether we are standing at the brink of stagflation. It is argued that on the policy front, there is a need for close monetary–fiscal policy coordination to prevent a move to a stagflationary scenario.</div></span></div></div> <div class="views-row"><div class="views-field views-field-field-featured-image"><div class="field-content"><div class="desktop_only"><a href="/"><img src="/themes/contrib/epw/images/default_slider.jpeg" width="550" height="370" /></a></div> <div class="mobile_only"><a href="/"><img src="/themes/contrib/epw/images/default_slider.jpeg" width="550" height="370" /></a></div></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-nothing"><span class="field-content"><div class="views-field views-field-field-category"><a href="/alternative-standpoint" hreflang="en">Alternative Standpoint</a></div> <div class="views-field views-field-title"><a href="/journal/2025/14/alternative-standpoint/erasing-gender.html" hreflang="en">Erasing Gender</a></div> <div class="views-field views-field-field-authors"><a href="/author/pallavi-pradhan" hreflang="en">Pallavi Pradhan</a></div> <div class="views-field views-field-body">Upon assuming office, the United States President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, systematically targeting the transgender community.

sex ratio over the years. Among several factors influencing the sex ratio, the widespread prevalence of dowry-related crimes may be perceived as a significant contributing factor to the lower preference for female children. This study aims to empirically examine the linkage between dowry deaths and the child sex ratio in India. It is based on secondary data covering three census periods, 1991 to 2011, across 24 Indian states. Additionally, to incorporate recent years, the study utilises time-series data sourced from the World Bank database for the period 2000–20.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
