culture, Current Affairs, People
Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has invited all Indians to clap for all working round the clock to fight COVID-19. PM Modi has chosen the time to be 5 PM IST, today (22nd March 2020).

My Impressions – Mandate: Will of the People

Current Affairs, education, Politics
Mandate: Will of the People by Vir Sanghvi, one of India’s respected journalist, began its life as a television series, called Mandate With Destiny.

Amish Tripathi, a best seller author, writes the foreword; a very nice note of his learnings of the economic parameter. The book…
