The tremendous surge in capital inflows and increase in cross border financial transactions over the last three decades have believed to add substantial volatility and uncertainty to the behaviour of international exchange rate. The issue of exchange rate volatility, however receive serious consideration in the Indian economic policy decisions during the second half of 1990s, when as a part of the extensive economic liberalization package initiated in 1991, Indian exchange rate system underwent a series of structural changes. The introduction of current account convertibility in August 1994 and gradual opening of the capital account to foreign capital flows have paved the way for greater volatility in the Rupee exchange rate. The exchange value of the Indian Rupee fell to Rs. 82.21 per US Dollar in March 2023 from Rs. 44.45 per US Dollar in April 2011. This volatility introduced uncertainty in the domestic market and influenced imports, exports and GDP growth rate. On this background, an attempt is made in this paper to examine the impact of exchange rate volatility on India’s international trade and economic growth. For this, twelve year time period i.e. from 2011 to 2023 is selected for the purpose of the study. The general impression of secondary data clearly reveals that exchange rate volatility has negatively impacted India’s Export and GDP growth rate but positively impacted India’s import. Therefore, the present study recommends that the RBI should pursue sustainable and stable exchange rate policy measures to promote greater exchange rate stability that would help to enhance the exports and GDP growth rate of the economy. Moreover, the study strongly recommends that RBI intervention should be needed to take control over depreciation of rupee in the short-run that adversely affects the exports.

In the fast-changing geo-political scenario, the world is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Many facets are emerging causing uncertainty. The article aims to understand in correlation with PM Modi’s ‘Proactive Engagement’ neighborhood policy (as it develops in conjunction with the South-Asian neighbors) vis-à-vis Maldives. It is on multilateral policy of Indian government, with investments in Capacity-building Activities in the small island State in technical / vocational and medical training etc. The objective of the study is: • what is India’s foreign policy in the Asia’s sub-continent? • why India needs to maintain relations with Maldives? • how the emergence of China affects India-Maldives ties? Maldives is a small island in Indian Ocean, affluent in natural resources and situated in strategically sensitive area. It gained independence in 1965 and has cultural, and commercial links steeped in antiquity with India. It opened a High Commission in New Delhi in 2004 and transitioned to a multi-party democracy (2008). The relations between two are deep and diverse but not flawless. The article highlights Maldives being a SAARC member having continuously supported India on the multilateral front (UN, SAARC, etc.) vis-à-vis the aim of Indian government to increase transactions and exploit its natural resources for common benefits. India welcomed Maldives in the Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) and explains the Indian stakes in Maldives as vital for multiple maritime commercial routes in the field of Navigation processes. However, India’s ‘Neighborhood Policy’ has taken a trajectory shift in the Indian Ocean Rim, since China’s (BRIC member) setting its footprints by investing in such small countries laying debt traps. Political instability in Maldives, coupled with increase of terrorist groups like IS and Jihadists, and the recent call of President Mohamed Muizzu, post winning elections with a strong mandate in September 2023, to India ‘to pull out its security personnel from the Maldives’ and honor the democratic aspirations of people has evidently miffed New Delhi. Both India and China are looking for opportunities to have substantial stake in the development process of the island. The basis for Indo-Maldives relations, however, remains as shared prosperity within the Modi’s clarion call of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, that translates as ‘Collective Effort, Inclusive Growth and Mutual Trust’. Key words: Neighborhood, maritime commercial route, security, investment, capacity-building.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have matured from being associated exclusively with techies and radicals to being considered by central banks as a technology to implement digital money. Cryptocurrencies exist only in digital form and can be transferred completely between digital addresses. This is both unlike conventional electronic money as understood by laypersons which acts as a debt claim on a deposit with a trusted financial institution such as a private bank and unlike conventional corporeal money which may be physically possessed. This means that any legal rights associated with holding cryptocurrencies must be different despite it being remaining open to interpretation. In this chapter, we look at the various treatments of money in the legal sense and discuss the risks associated with each by drawing on real life examples. We conclude that fraud through hacking could potentially pose a problem to widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies as the absence of recourse against a third party such as a bank concentrates risk in holders of cryptocurrencies. Users should thus exercise caution and understand the risks before investing in cryptocurrencies. This warning requires emphasis as many parties misapprehend the cryptography within the technology as protecting them from such fraud when in fact it does no such thing.
