Already a Functioning Anarchy, India risks a Slow Descent Into Madness
India faces perhaps the biggest test since its Independence and Partition in terms of convergence of social, political, and economic crises. With its economy in the doldrums, and its healthcare infrastructure found to be pitifully and worse, disastrously incapable of handling the brutal Second Wave, and with its politicians busy holding elections and pulling down governments, there are no dearth of crises that the country faces.

In simpler terms, if an employee is injured or ill due to a workplace-related circumstance, they can file claims for any loss or damages.

Patent, Trademark, and Copyright — You Should At Least Know The Difference
Patents And Trademarks Are Different Animals I once visited Quora.com and participated in one of the discussions concerning McDonald’s asking the owner of a certain McDonuts to change its name.
