Amid renewed debates on Hindi promotion in non-Hindi-speaking states, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has come out in defence of learning Hindi.
Ratan Tata's letter was written shortly after the Congress Party’s defeat in the 1996 general elections, a time when many had turned their backs on PV Narasimha Rao.
In a significant ruling, a seven-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court last month overturned a 1998 decision that had provided lawmakers with immunity from prosecution for accepting bribes in exchange for making speeches or casting votes in the legislature.

PV Narasimha Rao’s legacy is obviously in the space of economic reforms which has been hotly debated and will continue to do so as we complete 30 years of reforms in 2021
Statements by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in praise of Narasimha Rao do not give the impression of a change of heart. It’s more like water off a duck’s back
When he was prime minister, Manmohan Singh had apologised to members of Parliament as well as the entire nation for the riots
