The early twenty-first century has witnessed a bifurcation in the educational strategies of Asia’s two demographic superpowers.

Gurgaon Police have registered FIRs against the owner and other officials of 32nd Avenue, the retail hub that is home to popular hangouts and eateries, after protests by investors who have claimed that they are not receiving payments that were promised to them.
