    Five must read books around India’s historic 1991 Budget and economic transformation

    by Admin

    Image source: Hindustan Times When Mr. Manmohan Singh presented his first budget as India’s finance minister on 24 July 1991, India had just three weeks of foreign reserve left.

    by Admin

    When I first read about the origin story of Assassins in Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, I honestly thought it's another fictional story from the great author. However, it was not. This is the origin story of the evolution of the word Assassins.
