Is India set to become the new beauty destination for global brands?
The Indian beauty market is estimated to reach $2.27 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 10.91% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
Calling Pakistan “terroristan”, India launched a scathing attack on the neighbouring country at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) accusing it of being a “safe haven” for militants and “protecting them with political careers”.
In its ‘Right of Reply during the General Debate of the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly’, India said: “It is extraordinary that the state which protected Osama Bin Laden and sheltered Mullah Omer should have the gumption to play the victim.”
“In its short history, Pakistan has become a geography synonymous with terror. The quest for a land of pure has actually produced the land of pure terror. Pakistan is now Terroristan, with a flourishing industry producing and exporting terrorists.”

“This is a country whose counter terrorism policy is to mainstream and upstream terrorists by either providing safe havens to global terror leaders in its military town, or protecting them with political careers.”
India also said that Jammu and Kashmir will always remain an “integral” part of India and that Pakistan will never succeed in undermining India’s territorial integrity.
Mocking Pakistan’s “efforts” to fight terrorism, India said “the polluter” was “paying the price”.
“Having diverted billions of dollars in international military and development aid towards creating a dangerous infrastructure of terror on its own territory, Pakistan is now speaking of the high cost of its terror industry. The polluter, in this case, is paying the price.”
“Even as terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets with impunity, we have heard it lecture about the protection of human rights in India. The world does not need lessons on democracy and human rights from a country whose own situation is charitably described as a failed state.”
“Terroristan is in fact a territory whose contribution to the globalization of terror is unparalled.”
Rubbing salt into the wounds of Pakistan, Afghanistan too backed India’s stand against Pakistan and slammed the country for supporting terrorism.
