I always thought it had something to do with bun maska....

By far one of my favourite moments of lyrical genius was when Prasoon Joshi invented a word out of thin air!

'Masakali' means nothing in Hindi or Urdu; he literally invented the word to fit the meter of the song! ❤️

Can't get rarer than that!

Is the ecourts app available in 22 different languages?

[Ministry of Law and Justice @MLJ_GoI]

Language should never stop you from understanding your legal rights. Nyaya Setu app uses BHASHINI to give legal help in 22 Indian languages. By engaging citizens in their mother tongue, the initiative brings true 'Ease of Justice' to everyone.

Every person interested in the issue of high level of pendency of cases in the Supreme Court of India should listen to this episode of The Hindu's In Focus podcast with @Preddy85 and @S_Tripathi07. Highly recommended.

Too many economists are conveniently using their favourite/pet causes to explain the cause of this financial crisis in India.

[T. Prashant Reddy @Preddy85]

@pranesh Indeed!

Ram Guha is back at his favourite pastime - bashing RaGa - what a bore! Never forget the time when Ram Guha was championing Nitish as a PM candidate just days before the man jumped into the BJP's camp. https://t.co/hXsYmyw7yL

This is Nainital. The dress is of Sarwasti Shishu Mandir run by the RSS. There was a time when this town was an exemplar of communal harmony - Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs studying & growing up together. No communalism even during Vajpayee years. Today, it’s a powder keg.

@Preddy85 The tax ruling in the Volkswagen $1.5 billion tax (customs) demand is pending for around a year after the hearings concluded in the High Court last year!!

For all of you thinking the ruckus with NEET or CBSE exams will dent the image of the BJP, just remember that even the Vyapam scandal did not stop BJP from repeatedly winning MP.

Lol! They passed similar orders in 2001 and nothing changed: https://t.co/LOL5huP4Pw

From 1933 when the British created an exception for religious saints and asectics from the criminal offence of obscenity, allowing them to roam around in the nude in India, if required by their religion.

Retrospective application of tax laws - the bane of the Indian state. This judgement could not have come at a worse time for an economy already struggling to gain investor confidence.

BREAKING:
Supreme Court upholds GST levy on online gaming, fantasy sports and casinos involving stakes.

Court says even skill-based games acquire the character of betting and gambling for GST once money is staked on uncertain outcomes.

Retrospective application upheld; Gameskraft ruling set aside.

STORY | Govt sanctions over 60% manpower boost for ED

The Union government on Wednesday sanctioned a significant manpower boost for the Enforcement Directorate (ED), authorising more than 1,200 additional investigators and staff for the anti-money laundering agency.

Officials told PTI that the Ministry of Finance had approved the much-awaited cadre restructuring of the agency after 15 years, enhancing its workforce by more than 60 per cent – from 2,029 to 3,256.

The ministry revised the ED's strength by 1,227 personnel across its six cadres, which include the executive, legal, and adjudication verticals that form the core of its investigation setup, officials said.

Of this total, 803 additional officials have been added to the rank of Assistant Enforcement Officer, 606 to Enforcement Officer, and 531 to Assistant Director of Enforcement.

The agency's last cadre restructuring was undertaken in 2011.
