The decision to introduce a taxpayer&rsquo;s charter as a part of a statute in&nbsp;the Income Tax Act&nbsp;is being viewed as a positive takeaway in this year's budget. A tax charter essentially defines the rights of a taxpayer and the obligation of the tax department. But a&nbsp;promise is one thing, implementation is another.

The Maharashtra power tussle took a new twist with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis resigning as Chief Minister. The BJP and the Shiv Sena may have won the assembly election together in October, but the saffron clan is divided and the two parties are still fighting for the chief minister's job. Sena wants a rotational CM, the BJP doesn't. And all of this a day before the term of the current assembly officially ends. Maharashtra still doesn't have a new government.

With Delhi choking again, an editorji analysis revealed that while most air quality parameters, such as Carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide, remained between average and good, the PM 2.5 and PM 10 were at dangerous levels much to the surprise of meteorologist.

Some&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;don&rsquo;t just serve great food but they take you back to a different era and offer an extra helping of the past that perhaps existed even before you did. Portraits from the 1900s, menus with local classics and rugged walls that have stood for generations, let&rsquo;s walk you through some of the oldest and greatest restaurant legends in India.
&nbsp;
The iconic United Coffee House was set up just before independence in 1942 by Lala Hans Raj Kalra and is famously regarded as Delhi&rsquo;s first cafe. The coffee shop is as old-school as it gets with its iconic 23-feet high ceiling, classic British menu and vintage d&eacute;cor that remain largely unchanged over the years. Throughout its history, the tables have been crowded with writers, artists and journalists.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
'Moti Mahal' was founded by Kundan Lal Gujral and Thakur Dass in Delhi in 1947. Both worked at a small eatery, by the same name, in Peshawar between 1920 and 1947. A pillar of original Punjabi fare, Moti Mahal is famous for being the birthplace of Butter Chicken and Makhani Dal.
&nbsp;
Karim's is a&nbsp;historic&nbsp;landmark located near the Jama Masjid in New Delhi. It was established in 1913 by Haji Karimuddin, whose father was a cook in the royal court of the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar. Former Presidents Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed and Zakir Husain and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi were devoted customers and the restaurant has played host to generations of royal dignitaries and historians.
&nbsp;
Lucknow&rsquo;s Tunday Kababi is believed to have been established in 1905 by Haji Murad Ali, the star cook of the Nawab of Lucknow with only one arm. Tucked away in the bylanes of Old Lucknow, the tiny eatery has made its mark on the city with its melt-in-mouth kebabs. The cooks have been using the same, unique blend of spices for over a century.&nbsp;
 Mumbai&rsquo;s Leopold Caf&eacute; has been around since 1871 and it packs in a steady crowd with long queues even today. It was set up by Iranis as an oil depot and a general store, and in the mid-1980s it transformed into a cafe and bar. The caf&eacute; was one of the sites of the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai and has preserved the bullet-riddled walls and cracked mirrors as symbols of the city's resilience.
&nbsp;
Back in 1923, Boman Kohinoor, a Zoroastrian immigrant from Iran, decided to open a homely restaurant in Mumbai for Parsi food. Today, Britannia and Co is one of the last of its kind remaining. The restaurant is housed in a grand Renaissance-style building designed by Scottish architect George Wittet, who also designed the Gateway of India.
&nbsp;
The Mavalli Tiffin Room in Bengaluru, popularly known as MTR, is famous for its timeless cooking, and for maintaining its nostalgic charm over the years. MTR was founded by Yagnanarayana Maiya and his brothers in the year 1924 and has been the gold standard for the fluffiest idlis in the country. The tiny restaurant serves wholesome Karnataka Brahmin food and claims to be the inventor of the &lsquo;Rava Idli&rsquo;, born out of an experiment due to the shortage of rice during the World War 2.
&nbsp;
A gem of a place, Aminia is one of Kolkata&rsquo;s first&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;to serve Eastern Mughlai food. Founded in 1928, they have perfected the art of making the typical Kolkata biryani in over ninety years of operations. &nbsp;The largest and most well-known outlet is located in the Futnani Chamber in New Market.
&nbsp;
Smithfield Bakery has been in Chennai since 1885 and was founded by Ponnuswamy &nbsp;Naicker with the aim to serve freshly baked goods. The legendary bakery catered to the British for years and was named after the first ICS Commissioner of Madras Corporation, E Conran Smith. Their signature, soft breads and buttery cookies are big hits.
&nbsp;
Anyone travelling to Darjeeling must drop by for breakfast at Glenary&rsquo;s. The restaurant was originally named Vado after its Italian owner back in the colonial days, but was bought by a Patna-based family post Independence. In 1959, the local Edward family took over the reins and gave it a complete makeover, ensuring that the spirit of the place remains while preserving the original fireplace and French windows. The bakery still uses its old recipes for British-inspired pastries, tarts and marzipans.
&nbsp;
Unmoved by the coming and going of trends, each of these&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;deserve to be on your bucket list for the delightful slice of history they offer.

An alleged conversation between two presidents. Charges of misconduct and favours sought. A whistleblower. And a political faceoff. Here's everything you need to know about what's in store for US President Donald Trump as the threat of impeachment looms large.
Step 1: Impeachment against President is ordered
A member of Senate, in this case, the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, announces an official impeachment inquiry.
Step 2: 6 committees will investigate Trump
Any member of the House can present proof of misconduct
Six committees are formed to look into the case. They will present their findings to the Senate. Alternatively, any other member of the House can also present proof to the Senate.
The House votes
If it is passed with a clear majority, case moves to the Senate
If it fails, Trump impeachment ends
After the House views the proof, the house votes. if there is a clear majority, the President is impeached. The President, however, can still retain office. If the vote fails, the process ends there.
Need people decals
Arguments move on to Senate for the final trial
The final trial takes place in the Senate. The Senators act as jurors, the House as prosecutors and the Chief Justice as the judge.
SENATE VOTES
Senate votes. For the impeachment to be successful a 2/3rd majority is required and the President is removed from office.
But here's a footnote. Even if a President is removed by impeachment, nothing stops him from contesting the next elections, i.e 2020

That onions make you cry in the kitchen, is a known fact. But did you know that the humble onion has reduced multiple netas to tears on the political battleground? A main ingredient in most Indian dishes, here's a look at how the onion added its flavour to Indian politics!&nbsp;

The run up to the Maharashtra elections saw a lot rallies, a lot of speeches, fierce debates. &nbsp;Poll issues ranged from job losses, loan waivers, to price of crop. But there was one silent issue that missed notice. Here's a look at the Maharashtra farmer suicide crisis, from a perspective that often misses it's space in a mainstream narrative. Mental health.&nbsp;

On September 24, this year, the Enforcement Directorate booked Nationalist Congress Party chief, Sharad Pawar, in a money laundering case. He didn&rsquo;t face summon, but the probe agency&rsquo;s action, in poll season, triggered an upheaval as 78-year old Pawar decided to march to the ED&rsquo;s Mumbai office to record his statement on September 27. Shutdowns, strikes and protests followed&mdash; forcing the economic capital&rsquo;s police chief to visit Pawar&rsquo;s residence twice, requesting him to cancel his visit. Pawar complied, but his dare reminded India&rsquo;s political establishment that he was Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s &lsquo;political guru&rsquo;.
 Pawar named in FIR&nbsp;
Armed with &lsquo;evidence&rsquo;, an activist, Surinder Arora, told the Bombay High Court, in 2015, about a possible scam in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank. Four years later, following court order, police&rsquo;s economic wing filed an FIR, pegging the loan scam, from 2007-2008, at ₹25,000 crore. Pawar&rsquo;s nephew, Ajit Pawar, who was the bank&rsquo;s director and then deputy CM, was named as the main accused. The ED based its September 24 charge-sheet on the police FIR. Claiming loans were knowingly given to sick sugar factories, it made an addition to the list of accused. Pawar, India&rsquo;s former defence minister, was now a scam-accused.
 &lsquo;Welcome, enjoy&rsquo; Pawar power
&lsquo;Awaiting&rsquo; P Chidambaram and DK Shivakumar&rsquo;s fate, the&nbsp;Maratha leader invoked Shivaji, reminding Delhi that the revered 17th warrior had taken the Mughals head-on. With Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, decrying &lsquo;vendetta politics&rsquo;, Pawar found support across party lines; solidarity also came from BJP dissenter Eknath Khadse and Rahul Gandhi&mdash; it was Sonia Gandhi&rsquo;s rise that made Pawar quit the Congress in 1999. Unfazed, Pawar quipped that incarceration would be a &lsquo;new experience&rsquo; and he will &lsquo;welcome and enjoy&rsquo; prison.
Quake in Pawars&rsquo; nest
On the day Pawar planned a march to ED office, Ajit Pawar resigned as a lawmaker. Ostensibly, &lsquo;perturbed&rsquo; by ED action against his uncle, the NCP second-in-command derided &lsquo;dirty politics&rsquo;, but resignation gave BJP fodder to scratch the cracks in &lsquo;Pawar-dom&rsquo;. Quake in Pawar&rsquo;s Baramati bastion saw many NCP heavy-weights, like Sachin Ahir, join ruling parties. Flock leaving the nest pushed NCP to the brink.
NCP's do-or-die battle
In poll season, for the three-time Maharashtra CM, the battle is two-fold; ending NCP infighting, and taking on BJP-Sena with weak ally Congress.
Will PM Modi&rsquo;s &lsquo;political guru&rsquo; pull one last trick from his political bag?

Nestled in Mumbai's Goregoan, the Aarey forest has been described as the maximum city's lung.

Is it too late to save the commercial capital's 'damaged' lungs?

Soon after rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh was booked for lewd lyrics in Makhna; social media was flooded with comments questioning similar&nbsp;songs&nbsp;from the 90s that did not hit the limelight. Here's a quick look&nbsp;

&nbsp;

May&nbsp;25, 2019 will go down as a watershed day in the history of Congress.&nbsp;A crushing defeat in polls, dejection all around and then the resignation of Rahul Gandhi.&nbsp;Congress left rudderless and leaderless.&nbsp;Rahul's resignation led a chain reaction. Kamal Nath, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Milind Deora, Vivek Tankha, Raj Babbar were among the more than 130 Congress leaders who gave in their papers.&nbsp;
After the 1962 India -China War, Congress first felt the ground under its feet shaking. 3 successive by-election defeats saw the rise of Opposition stalwarts Acharya Kripalani, Rammanohar Lohia and Minoo Masan.&nbsp;Already low on morale, Congress worries compounded with Nehru&rsquo;s failing health.&nbsp;'Who after Nehru&rsquo;? the question stared it in its face.
Enter Kumaraswami Kamaraj.&nbsp;A freedom fighter and a statesman. 3-term Chief Minister of the Madras Province.&nbsp;Kamaraj sensed the waning support for the party, lethargy that had set in.&nbsp;To strengthen the party at the grassroots and upwards, Kamaraj proposed to Nehru that all senior Congress leaders holding Ministerial offices quit and join organisational work.&nbsp;He argued that power incumbency was distancing the leaders from the masses and the ideology.&nbsp;
Nehru agreed and 6 Union Ministers, including Lal Bahadur Shastri, Jagjivan Ram and Morarji Desai, and 6 Chief Ministers, including Kamaraj himself, Biju Patnaik and S.K. Patil resigned from their posts.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kamaraj became the Congress president. This shift from power politics to party work was christened the &lsquo;Kamaraj Plan&rsquo;.
After Nehru's death on May 27, 1964, Kamaraj had the herculean task of ensuring a smooth transition in the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office.&nbsp;Lal Bahadur Shastri with Kamaraj&rsquo;s backing was elected to office.&nbsp;But Shastri&rsquo;s untimely demise in Tashkent in 1966 again vacated the seat- and this time Kamaraj ushered in Indira Gandhi to the throne.&nbsp;
The &lsquo;Kamaraj Plan&rsquo; served a two-fold purpose- it strengthened the Congress party and paved the way for Indira Gandhi to take the reigns after Nehru.&nbsp;Kamaraj thus became the first 'Kingmaker&rsquo; of the free India. All was well until the Congress split between pro and anti-Indira factions in 1969.&nbsp;Indira years undid the progress the Kamaraj Plan had made.&nbsp;
Rahul Gandhi's resignation appears like the onset of the Kamaraj Plan 2.0. But his exit was met with heavy disapproval. The resistance within the party was staggering. The resignations that followed were addressed to an empty chair. For the Kamaraj Plan to be swung into action, there needs to be a Kamaraj steering the wheel.&nbsp;
In the present political scenario, Congress remains a sinking ship. After losing a sitting coalition in Karnataka, defection in Goa, in-house discord in Punjab and the absence of a leadership, Congress seems on crash course on auto pilot.&nbsp;Can the Grand Old Party find a Kamaraj today who can script its phoenix act to rise from its ashes?

Handlooms are woven deeply into India's cultural and economic fabric. The sector employs over 43 lakh workers, making it the second largest employment generator in rural India, after agriculture. Almost 95% of the world's hand-woven fabrics are made in India. The government has been actively promoting handlooms in the last few years as a way to empower cottage industries and showcase the nation's diverse culture on a global platform. Here are some designers working in this direction and making India's 'glocal' handloom dream come true.&nbsp;
Renowned textile designer Gaurang Shah's love affair with Jamdani is like no other. The self-taught weaver has proved that there is no pattern, texture or colour that cannot be produced using Bengal's jamdani weave.
Delhi-based Gaurav Jai Gupta works with Merino wool and chanderi, intermixing metals like steel and copper with silk giving the fabric a modern appeal.
If linen is on your mind, look no further than Anavila Misra's linen sarees. While the designer works with several other hand-woven materials, it is her linen pieces that have become a staple.
One of India's most successful designer when it comes to retail volumes, Anita Dongre's new brand Grassroots uses artisanal weaves to make silhouettes that are fit for a modern woman's wardrobe.
From Suket Dhir's cool summer wools, Samant Chauhan's new-age Bhagalpur silk creations to brands like Eleven Eleven, Ekaya Banaras and Sanjay Garg's Raw Mango &ndash; desi designers have made it their mission to reinvent traditional textiles and keep the handloom sector alive.
