In a fresh tussle between the messaging platform Whatsapp and the central government, the app has ‘warned’ of leaving India if it is made to break end-to-end encryption. Challenging the amendments made to the I-T rules before Delhi HC, Whatsapp called it a violation of right to privacy. The messaging app also called for an examination of the constitutional validity of the law.

Is Whatsapp Going To Exit India Over Encryption Dispute?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSwJ2IwQ7QQ  Apr 26, 2024 
India is one of the largest markets for messaging app Whatsapp, which is owned by Meta. But now, Whatsapp has threatened that they're ready to exit the India market.

the appetite for a third term for the Indian leader is very high in the global financial industry. “Modi has done an unbelievable job in India,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said Tuesday at the Economic Club of New York. Both Goldman and JPMorgan are predicting a deluge of overseas capital after general elections are over on June 4. (The BJP is favorite to win the contest.)

The first belief is that while Modi 3.0 may take a more authoritarian turn, the Indian leader won’t follow the lead of China’s President Xi Jinping. The stock market will still have to read the tea leaves to figure out which business group is likely to be blessed with juicy contracts and favorable policy, but there is little risk of New Delhi turning the screws on the private sector. In other words, no nasty surprises like Beijing’s crackdown on its technology industry.

Apart from calling the restrictions to be arbitrary, the SU in its official statement issued on Wednesday claimed, “The current environment in TISS is a complete violation of the student entitlement suggested by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which states that as democratic citizens, the students are entitled to freedom of thought and expression within and outside their institution.”

Demanding that the new guidelines should be prepared on priority, the statement also urges the administration to include student representatives in reframing them to make them student-centric.
