Today's world is absorbed by digital technology and developments. From daily bread to business, from home to office, the implementation of electronic devices has become an integral part of life. The wallet has transformed the global payments ecosystem by offering multiple digital services, from utility payments to e-tailing. After demonetization, e-payment systems, mainly mobile wallets, have become a popular means of conducting transactions without physical presence. This study was conducted on consumer preferences, satisfaction, and issues when using mobile wallets for cashless payment. The study used the chi-square method to analyze and interpret the primary data of 80 respondents. The study implies that today's life is more important to mobile wallets such as Paytm, MobiKwik, Bhim, and free charge.

Afghanistan is a land that is known for its war, violence, and instability. Called a rogue state, Afghanistan has been living with violence and war as part of its reality for the last four decades. The ordinary lives of civilians have been marred by violent and unwelcoming foreign involvement, invasion, and tussle for power. Afghanistan has historically been caught up between foreign powers and treated like a pawn in a larger global conflict. At different times in history, parties have tried to get control over this landlocked, strategically important country. As a result, Afghanistan has never really seen a stable, long-lasting, democratically functioning government leading it to be called the Graveyard of Empires. In its political history, it has worked like a puppet in the hands of foreign powers and has been able to function only with their support and aid. Afghanistan is a fragile state struggling to form a stable polity and clamouring for world recognition and, more importantly, support. This chapter takes the reader on a journey to war-torn Afghanistan.

The war between Russia and Ukraine negatively impacts growth and results in a high inflation rate in the global village. In 2021, Ukraine exported $2.6B to India and imported $509.94M. During the same period, bilateral trade totaled $12.3 billion, with Indian exports totaling $3.33 billion and imports totaling $8.7 billion. The last three months, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) pulled out of Indian markets — Rs. 50,000 crores more than the combined withdrawal of the previous nine months. As the weakened rupee made imports more expensive, the rise in crude oil prices worsened things. Brent crude prices, which hovered around $80 a barrel in early 2022, shot up to $128 a barrel in the wake of the Russian invasion. The heat of the Russo-Ukrainian war is now reaching citizens in India and around the world. This article is an overview of the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine war on the Indian economy.
