India Forex Reserve Drops: At a time when there is a high American tariff on India and the H1B visa fees have been increased, despite these adverse circumstances, every possible steps are being taken by the Central Government to speed up the economy. One of those steps is GST Reform and Free Trade Agreement with other countries including Britain. But despite the strength on the economic front, while the Indian currency went on all time low recently compared to the US dollar, on the other side another disappointing news has come out. Hearing this, the neighboring enemy country will be happy with Pakistan as well as China.
