While FY25 has been a success story, sustaining this trend won’t be easy. Bangladesh’s remittance economy relies heavily on labor migration to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. However, labor demand in host countries is changing due to automation, nationalization of jobs (Saudi Arabia’s Saudization policy), and shifting immigration laws. The future of low-skilled labor exports is uncertain
The question must be asked: has the Middle Eastern dream become an Indian nightmare? Migrant workers face compounding insecurities, with the confiscation of passports turning them into virtual hostages. Structural exploitation, poor working conditions, and the intensifying climate crisis disproportionately impact Indian migrants—many of whom are semi- or unskilled laborers from already vulnerable communities.
This was no mere diplomatic courtesy call. India’s renewed outreach must be seen through the lens of historical connection and future potential. Nearly 44 percent of Trinidad and Tobago’s Indian diaspora traces its origins to the indentured labour system—deep roots that have flourished into rich cultural traditions shared in cuisine, music, festivals, and faith.
The good news is our team of scientists and biomedical engineers at Columbia University has developed a stent, The Stentinel, that can continuously scan the bloodstream to find cancer’s first cells and the earliest biomarkers. And, the stent can be programmed to electrocute The First Cell. This approach will democratize medicine worldwide, shifting the healthcare paradigm from one of treating illness to one of maintaining wellness
