Nationalistic pride may swell chests, but to fill lungs you would like air. Someone should tell that to the Indian government. The country that boasted of being the world's pharmacy in March discovers a month later that not only are "Made in India" vaccines briefly supply, but also that it did not have enough oxygen in hospitals to affect a deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic that has made it the second-worst hit country, after the U.S. New Delhi floated a young last October, eight months into the pandemic, to line up oxygen plants in district hospitals. But an investigation by the web site Scroll.in showed that in some instances the seller that won the contracts never showed up to fulfil them. In other cases, hospitals didn't provide the needed land, or state administrations didn't come up with the copper wiring and electricity connections. Sheer apathy railroaded a 2 billion rupee ($27 million) project. Not an honest search for a rustic that desires to s...

ImageCredit: NBC News Septuagenarian Youn Yuh-jung, South Korea's first Oscar-winning actress, has spent decades portraying nonconformist characters, from a vicious heiress to an ageing prostitute, challenging social norms in both career and life. Her best supporting actress turn in   Minari , a family drama about Korean immigrants in the US, is relatively more conventional: she portrays a playful grandmother to a mischievous young boy trying to adapt to life in rural Arkansas. The film, written and directed by Korean-American Lee Issac Chung, earned six nominations overall including for best picture, best actor and a nod for Chung. Youn's win is the second Oscars success for a Korean-language film in as many years, after  Parasite  became the first non-English language best picture winner in 2020. Youn, whose two grown sons are Asian-Americans, had played down excitement over her chance to make history, telling reporters last month: "This is not a playoff game of actors,...

The Election Commission is singularly responsible for the second wave of Covid and should probably be booked for murder, the Madras High Court observed today in the sharpest criticism yet of crowded campaigns for the five state polls that continued in the middle of raging virus cases. The court has threatened to stop the counting of votes on Sunday if a "blueprint" is not in place. The Election Commission will react after it sees the order, sources say. "Your institution is singularly responsible for the second wave of COVID-19. Your officers should be booked on murder charges probably," the Madras High Court told the Election Commission. The election body had failed to enforce Covid safety rules like masks, sanitisers and distancing during campaigning despite court orders, said the High Court. "Were you on another planet when the election rallies were held," Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee questioned. The High Court also asked for a plan to enforce Covid ru...
