By SWATI RAO | INNLIVE

The company's application for exemptions under the 'cutting edge' policy has already been rejected once.

After further opening up the Indian economy by easing regulations for manufacturing units and retail stores, the government claimed that India is currently the most open country in the world for investment. This is not entirely accurate. Just ask Apple.

The Times of India reported that 27,000 of the 75,489 schools in Karnataka had three or fewer classrooms.

By LIKHAVEER | INNLIVE

The impending exit of Raghuram Rajan from the Reserve Bank this September seems to have emboldened Subramanian Swamy, the BJP's maverick Rajya Sabha MP, to take on more real or imagined "enemies". 

The latest to be targeted is Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Arvind Subramanian, with Swamy recalling an old statement of Subramanian to the US Congress seeking the penalisation of India for its pharma patents stand. Swamy also alleged, in another tweet, that the CEA was behind the Congress' hardening of stand on the goods and services tax (GST).

Opinion: If Salman Khan Is Not On Public Trial – Is It Our Framework Of Judgement?

By M H AHSSAN | INNLIVE

Are we a society that will pardon manslaughter and animal killing but condemn a man for an idiotic error?

Salman Khan is not new to controversy. He looks like a kid with his hand perpetually in a cookie jar of trouble. In fact, his controversies seem more memorable than his movies. There is something endearing about the man – there is an innocence, an adolescence, a ham-handedness. It is as if he is perpetually goofing his lines. One is forced to conclude that he has a bad script-writer or that he has a touch of a bumbler. Even the bumbling image works as he come out as a vulnerable man.

A Special Note To AP CM Chandrababu Naidu: 'Family Planning Is Not About Class But About Women's Rights And Choices'

By NEWS KING | INNLIVE

Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu recently asked rich people in the state to have more than one child.

Determining the size of her family is every woman’s right. For individuals in leadership positions, to make comments to the contrary is regressive and can push back the country’s progress on many fronts. These include India’s goal for population stabilisation, FP2020 – an international partnership of more than 20 governments on family planning – and the Sustainable Development Goals commitments. The debate is not whether the rich should have more children; it is about choices and rights.
