Indian households are significantly reshaping their portfolios, with gold's share surging from 15% to 24% over three years, driven by record-high gold prices, geopolitical uncertainty, and inflation hedging. Meanwhile, equity allocation remains nearly flat, reflecting retail investor caution amid market volatility. This trend highlights a preference for traditional safe-haven assets over riskier investments. Experts note cultural affinity for gold and distrust in markets among middle-class families. The shift raises concerns about capital flow into productive assets essential for economic growth.

Investors pulled out thousands of crores, primarily from liquid and short-duration funds, driven by quarter-end advance tax payments, profit booking, and rising interest rate concerns. Corporate treasuries also withdrew funds for regulatory and operational needs. While experts say such periodic reversals are seasonal and not alarming, they caution retail investors to monitor macroeconomic cues like RBI policy shifts, inflation trends, and global rate movements. Long-term debt fund investors should stay focused on asset allocation rather than reacting to short-term flow volatility.

सोनम वांगचुक ने कहा कि लद्दाख के मुद्दों पर केंद्र सरकार से कोई ठोस आश्वासन नहीं मिला है, इसलिए वे 19 से 24 सितंबर तक आंदोलन करेंगे। वे लद्दाख को संविधान की छठी अनुसूची में शामिल करने, राज्य का दर्जा देने और स्थानीय लोगों के अधिकारों की सुरक्षा की मांग कर रहे हैं। 2019 में जम्मू-कश्मिर से अलग होने के बाद लद्दाख केंद्रशासित प्रदेश बना, लेकिन विधानसभा नहीं मिली। वांगचुक पहले भी अनशन और पदयात्रा कर चुके हैं। उनका कहना है कि सरकार बातचीत में गंभीर नहीं है, जिससे जनता निराश है।

This decision safeguards citizens' rights during protests and prevents misuse of panel authority for criminal proceedings.
