Laws demand total  subjugation of an individual before them. They are to be mandatorily followed.  Law is enforced by government officials such as police officers, agents and judges.  Laws are ideas that must go through the process of checks, balances and votes in  order for them to become a law.   Laws must be obeyed by all.

First,it was born out of a belief that an innovative person cannot really generate wealth for himself on a sustainable basis unless he works out a way to make his community wealthy as well. Secondly, it was the only large bank in India to locate its headquarters in a rural area – in the 1930s Manipal was still a village. Thirdly, even before CK Prahalad arrived on the scene, its promoters knew about how wealth could be found at the bottom of the pyramid. At a time when all banks insisted on Rs 5 as the minimum deposit amount to open an account, Sy...

 🍒 ‘Consumer confidence slips to a new low in May’ : Our Bureau The Consumer Confidence Survey released by the Reserve Bank of India for the month of May showed that the consumer confidence for the current period weakened further.  The current situation index (CSI), which has been in the negative territory since July 2019, fell to a new all-time low as consumer perceptions on general economic situation and employment scenario lowered further. The future expectations index (FEI) moved to pessimistic territory for the second time since the onset of the pandemic. This was driven by sharp fall in expectations on general economic situation, employment scenario and household income over one-year horizon. Household spending, too, weakened in the latest survey round, with essential spending showing signs of moderation while non-essential spending continues to contract. - Business Line 🍒 RBI approves re-appointment of Vishwavir Ahuja as MD, RBL Bank : The Reserve Bank of India has ap...
