An add-on to the identity politicsin economic terms and a crediblepolitical face to deliver it are impor-tant takeaways from the bihar elec-tions. the sight of a rattled NitishKumar in his public appearancesduring the recently held Assemblyelection campaigns in bihar in-trigued many observers because ofhis image of a cool, suave and well-mannered politician, who hardlyever breached the decorum of publiclife. but in his speeches, he not onlylost his poise but also became per-sonal in his comments against hisadversaries. this made people won-der as to what went wrong with him,given his reputation as a seasonedand confident leader. these daysthough, the parties and leaders actu-ally get to know the real mood of thepeople only during electioneeringdue to defunct organisational net-works and, therefore, the sight ofleaders losing balance during theelection should not surprise us. so,when post-Covid travails of the peo-ple started unravelling themselvesin the midst of an election in bihar,Nitish would have definitely sensedthe slide of his popularity, the ero-sion and limitation of his brand ofsocial justice politics. Political ana-lysts believed that it was LokJanshakti Party (LJP) leader Chirag

Paswan, who was seen by many asthe bJP’s proxy to keep him in checkand rashtriya Janata dal (rJd)leader tejashwi yadav’s populist jobpromise that unsettled him. butthings appear much deeper and tounderstand the whole gamut of it,one needs to take a snapshot ofbihar politics, particularly the peri-od in which the game of social justicegot played out. Ironically, Nitishseems to be both a beneficiary andvictim of social justice politics. heand rJd chief Lalu Prasad yadav

have been its architects for the lastthree decades. together, they haveevenly shared the ruling years, set-ting the political narrative and evenforcing the national parties like theCongress and the bJP to bend back-wards and play second fiddle tothem in order to survive in the state.they rode on the high tide of Mandalpolitics with finesse and dismantledthe cultural-political hegemony ofthe upper castes in bihar’s socialfabric. since bihar had not wit-nessed a social reform movement

like some other regions of India dur-ing the colonial period, their politicsstruck a responsive chord with thebackward castes. the social justicepolitics, which they spearheaded,resulted in the much-awaited coursecorrection in the state and they be-came the recipient of its politicaldividends. but one day this politicshad to hit its dead end and if the peo-ple’s ire against Nitish, and this notgoing out rightly in favour oftejashwi in the current Assemblyelection, is any indication, then itseems to have already reached thatmoment. the Covid crisis only pre-cipitated this process by exposingthe underbelly of the state, with thesight of lakhs of beleaguered mi-grant workers parading and dyingon the highways and their imagesgoing viral through social and elec-tronic media. but does this meanthat the politics of social justice,which promised both dignity andlivelihood to the under-privileged,has outlived its utility and has comeof age in bihar? And to what extent isNitish culpable in the derailment ofthis project of social justice? Whydid this discourse falter in addingeconomic content to the rhetoric ofreservation and representation? Itwould be unfair to say that the sec-ond generation social justice politicsbased on economic agenda did not

Biden’s Bharat PolicyBy : ANIL GUPTA

the President-elect has alwaysespoused India's cause in the Us andlobbied for Indian interests as an ad-mirer of the world's largest democ-racy. If all goes well and Presidentdonald trump does not have his wayin the courts, then on January 20,2021 the White house would have anew occupant. President trump willvacate the same to welcomePresident-elect democrat Joe bidenas the 46th President of the Unitedstates of America (PotUs). the Uselections this time were followedworldwide because of the impact in-cumbent President trump had overglobal geopolitics with his peculiarstyle of functioning. though bidendefeated him with a convincing ma-jority, trump is unhappy and mak-ing wild accusations of electoralfraud has approached the courts. Inall fairness, biden will succeed andtrump will have to concede. In theprocess trump will be rememberedas the first sitting PotUs who failedto secure a second term apart fromhis numerous controversial deci-sions. biden will inherit an extreme-ly divided Us, a fallout of the“America First” policy of trump.soon, the process of transition willbegin when the outgoing adminis-tration will hand over power to thetransition team of biden, who, too,will commence the process of an-nouncing his trusted colleagues. thechoice of members of his team willbe the first indication of the mindsetof the new PotUs with relation toburning domestic and global issues.biden, more than experienced at 77,will not only decide the future of Us

citizens but would also have the ca-pacity, capability, authority and re-sponsibility to shape global destiny.It is no wonder then that in India aswell the election was followed veryclosely as it has traditionally enjoyeda bipartisan relationship with theUs. though change of presidency inthe Us has not made much of a dif-ference in the past irrespective of theparty in power, this time the situa-tion is different because of the ongo-ing stand-off with an expansionistand aggressive China as well as cer-tain controversies at home leadingto polarisation. the nomination ofsenator Kamala harris as a runningmate by biden created a concern inthe power corridors in India due toher perceived anti-India stance andcritical statements relating to abro-

gation of Article 370 and theCitizenship Amendment Act (CAA).Incidentally, both biden and harrishave a connection with India but it ishighly unlikely that it would haveany effect on their policy-making orrelations with us. however, onething is certain, biden is a friend ofIndia and his track record from hisearly days as a senator till his vice-Presidency under barack obamabears testimony to this fact. trumphas left many problems for the newGovernment and naturally, bidenwill prioritise the sequence andmanner in which he decides to re-solve them. Going by the democraticParty Platform (a document akin tomanifesto) India is not in the priori-ty list of the party. It refers to China,North Korea, Iran, the Middle east

and the Asia-Pacific but does notmention India specifically.however, the democrats realisedsoon that ignoring India may causethem loss of critical Indian-American votes and the biden cam-paign released a separate policy pa-per on Indo-Us relations.Considering India’s strategic loca-tion dominating the Indian ocean,its size and economy, noGovernment can afford to ignore it.significantly, biden has always es-poused India’s cause in the Us andlobbied for its interests as an admir-er of the world’s largest democracy.he has also been an advocate ofdeepening strategic engagementwith India, cooperating with Newdelhi on meeting global challengesas well as enhancing trade relations.he has remained a strong believer ofthe fact that India and the Us arenatural partners and had a stellarrole to play in approving the Us-India civil nuclear deal in 2008. Itwas during the obama-biden ad-ministration that the Us, for the firsttime, declared its support for thepermanent membership of India inan expanded and reformed UnitedNations security Council. duringthe same administration, India wasnamed as a “major defence partner,”making it eligible to be treated at parwith closest Us allies as regards ad-vanced and sensitive technologiesneeded to strengthen our armedforces. there are fears that sincemore than 80 per cent American-Muslims voted in his favour, biden’spolicies may be pro-Muslim.however, any apprehension of theUs interfering in Kashmir is highly

there is information on howfarmers gain because of data avail-ability but there is no data on howmuch they have lost due to a wrongforecast. For those of us living in me-tropolises and other urban areas,weather forecasts are mostly a drea-ry flow of information on tempera-ture, humidity levels and possibili-ties of rainfall. Urban dwellers aremore worried about pollution levels,the ambient Air Quality Index (AQI)and whether the next few days willsee the city enveloped in chokingsmog. Keeping abreast of the smogquotient is vital for urban dwellersas it not only impacts their healthand outdoor activities but would al-so mean kicking in of the Gradedresponse Action Plan (GrAP),which includes measures such asprohibition on entry of trucks, banon construction activities, introduc-tion of odd and even scheme for pri-vate vehicles, shutting of schools,closure of brick kilns, hot mix plantsand stone crushers, shutting downof power plants, ban on diesel gener-ator sets, bonfires and garbageburning in landfills and so on. butapart from concerns about smog andthe AQI in the winter months,weather forecasts are not so vital for

city dwellers. In fact, during themonsoon season they are a butt ofjokes owing to the inaccuracy of pre-dictions. but in other parts of India,away from the towering skyscrapersand pollution, where the highestlandmarks are either trees or moun-tains, weather forecasts are a vitalsource of information. the farmingcommunity of India relies heavily onweather inputs and growers plantheir crop cycles, rotation patterns,pesticide use and so on, based onthem. thankfully, over the decades,the dissemination of weather-relat-ed information has made majorprogress. And owing to vast cellularnetworks and affordable smart-phone technologies, farmers inmany remote parts of India haveweather data literally on their fin-gertips. however, these conditions,as heartening as they may seem, donot exist uniformly throughout therealm of Indian agriculture andsome serious anomalies exist in theform of stark economic disparitieswithin the agricultural community.even as farmers with sizeable landholdings, access to funds, qualityseeds, livestock and farm equipmentstruggle to make a profit, the condi-tion of small and marginal farmersremains abominable and seems toget worse with each passing year.

even decades of economic progressof the nation do not seem to have im-proved the lot of these underprivi-leged farmers whose fragmentedlandholdings are unable to producebumper crops. this ensures that thefarmer keeps getting deeply entan-gled in the complex web of debt andfalling produce. Knee-jerk policies,such as the recent farm Acts, thatraise doubts about the welfare of thegrowers, make matters worse. Giventhese trying conditions, informationon what the weather will bring incoming days is truly a God-sent fa-cility for all farmers. Particularly

given the fact that climate change-related disasters are wreaking havocon the farm sector. In 2019-20, ex-treme weather events adversely im-pacted 14 million hectares of farm-land in India. A recent survey by theNational Council of Appliedeconomic research (NCAer) un-derscored the importance of timelydelivery of weather-related informa-tion to growers and concluded that ithad a significantly positive impacton their income. the survey, basedon interviews with nearly 4,000agriculturalists, helped gauge the

Farmers in India

Farmers in India live a life that is very hard to live and

have minimal amenities of life. While farmers in

Western countries like France, Germany and the Us

are very rich, while our Indian farmers can't afford to feed

themselves. In India, we have an unreasonable level of ro-

manticism towards agriculture. this means we have been

highly restricted in taking people and land off agriculture

and putting it to more productive use. We are also extreme-

ly restrictive in allowing investments and technology into

the sector. In the Us, only 17% of the land is used for agri-

culture. In France and Germany it is about 33%. In India,

we use nearly 60% of our land for agriculture. Cutting even

1% of this land to use for industry, warehouses, transport

infrastructure or homes will send our activists screaming at

high pitched levels. this means that the technology to en-

able agricultural value to move up is not there. A lot of the

produce is wasted or used in low value ways. It starts from

low productivity of our farms despite having some of the

most fertile alluvial soils, thousands of years of farming ex-

pertise and sunshine through the year. United states came

out of nowhere when it came to tropical crops like rice and

produce 3-4 times better yield. It is not impossible to match

up to Us levels in rice. Many countries such as egypt is far

higher than Us yield levels and modern research points to

yields as high as 10 times what we have now. If we could

even produce 4 times more yield, we could double our food

production while cutting our farmland into half. besides

more production, we can get more value to the food the

farmers produce by shifting more to processed goods and

exotic foods. those again require infrastructure and indus-

trialization these would have to take some percentage of

farm land. Instead of crying over the loss of 1% farmland

over the last 2 decades, we should focus more on growing

the farm yield by 400% that is entirely possible with pres-

ent technology. Farmers in India are in agitation mode for

some decisions taken by the central government and centre

has now invited Punjab farmer bodies protesting against its

farm laws for talks on November 13 in delhi. An invite from

the secretary, Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers'

Welfare, has been sent to farmers' organisations for talks

with Agriculture Minister Narendra singh tomar and

railway Minister Piyush Goyal. Last month, representa-

tives of several farmers' organisations from Punjab had

walked out of a meeting called by the Union Agriculture

Ministry over the new farm laws and had accused the gov-

ernment of adopting double standards with no minister

present to hear them out. We need introduction of technol-

ogy in agriculture to increase yield and ensure a prosperous

life for Indian farmers.

1778 : Poor leadership leads to Cherry Valley Massacreon November 11, 1778, Patriot Colonel Ichabod Alden refuses to be-

lieve intelligence about an approaching hostile force. As a result, a com-

bined force of Loyalists and Native Americans, attacking in the snow,

killed more than 40 Patriots, including Alden, and took at least an addi-

tional 70 prisoners, in what is known today as the Cherry valley

Massacre. the attack took place east of Cooperstown, New york, in what

is now otsego County. Alden was a New englander from duxbury,

fore serving in the 25th Continental regiment during the siege of boston

Vaccine politics

trump is challenging the timing of Pfizer’s CovId vaccine as political-

ly motivated, says he is being robbed of credit due to him. the vaccine that

was supposed to hand a beleaguered Us President donald trump his sec-

ond term in office is finally here but it is a tad too late to be of any help to

him. Pfizer and German biotechnology company bioNtech have an-

nounced that their Coronavirus vaccine was more than 90 per cent effec-

tive in phase three large-scale clinical trials. It has been developed outside

the White house’s operation Warp speed programme, although the

trump administration placed an initial order for 100 million of the firm’s

vaccine doses for $1.95 billion in July. operation Warp speed pumped bil-

lions of dollars into six other pharmaceutical companies intended to accel-

erate vaccine development. even as there was a political storm over the

timing of the announcement, President-elect Joe biden, who made his

criticism of trump’s handling of the pandemic a centre-

piece of his election campaign, congratulated the “brilliant

women and men” involved in the research. but he didn’t go

overboard and urged the nation to continue wearing masks

and maintaining protocols as it would be “many more

months before there is widespread vaccination.” biden’s

appeal assumes significance because trump had repeated-

ly mocked the former for wearing the face cover during

election campaigns. Many Conservatives even contended

that masks infringed on their individual freedom. this

stubbornness to ignore the advice of experts on Corona

protocols has been widely blamed for the fact that the Us

remains the worst-hit country in the world. Coming close

on the heels of the mandate, the Us President, who will be

legally challenging the vote count on the grounds of it being

a fraud, will also be using the vaccine claim as part of a con-

spiracy theory. In a renewed push to justify his victimhood,

he felt that the Us Food and drug Administration (UsF-

dA) was politically motivated and should have announced

it earlier to save lives. of course, he disregarded the fact

that the scientific community across the world had sworn

that they would not be compromised by political arm-

twisting and would declare results after they were ab-

solutely sure of trials. the findings may have come in the

natural and ethical course of protocols but trump is not

going to let go of the opportunity to claim he fast-tracked it

and now was being cheated out of the credit due to him.

vice-President Mike Pence, too, was quick to point out that

the vaccine was a result of the trump administration’s

“public-private partnership” initiative. be that as it may,

the fact remains that trump and Co are responsible for the

Corona soup the Us is in today and the verdict of the people

was against that and the divisive policies based on ethno-

nationalism. As far as biden is concerned, the vaccine will

be the cherry on the cake. but will he get rid of “trumpism”

that will dog every move he makes?

unfounded as biden and harris have both spoken outagainst human rights violations and the democrats havealways been supportive of India on Kashmir. though in hisAgenda for Muslim-American Communities, biden hadcondemned the Narendra Modi Government’s new citi-zenship Act and a separate attempt to build a populationregister that could provide future justification to expel ortarget foreigners, at the same time he had also committedto strengthening Indo-Us ties. “the Us and India willstand together against terrorism in all its forms and worktogether to promote a region of peace and stability, whereneither China nor any other country threatens its neigh-bours,” he wrote in an op-ed in an Indian-American news-paper in october. he is unlikely to change the Americanstance on Al Qaeda, the IsIs and other radical jihadi organ-isations. significantly, the Modi Government’s actionagainst many foreign-funded NGos and banning ofAmnesty International has not gone down well with manydemocrats. there are bound to be differences of opinionon many issues just like during the trump Administration,but mutual discussions would ensure that these do not af-fect the cooperation between the two nations on many crit-ical issues of mutual importance. China’s expansionistpolicies, trade and certain global problems like terrorismand climate change are the issues of concern for India.there is no doubt that on these issues the biden adminis-tration and India will have convergence. It is unlikely thatbiden will release the pressure built on China by the trumpAdministration. but he favours a consensus-based ap-proach in dealing with beijing as compared to the con-frontationist stance adopted by trump. biden is in favourof strengthening the QUAd, the Indo-Pacific policy as wellas providing support to taiwan and hong Kong. he wantsto strengthen ties with Us allies, too, meaning the NAtoand countries like Australia, Japan, the Philippines andsouth Korea, proposing a grand Indo-Pacific Alliance. hehas also committed to strengthening military cooperation

between the Us and India. It is important to note that bothnations had signed three agreements for closer military co-operation in the backdrop of the growing tension withChina under trump. biden has a very different approach toclimate change which is likely to benefit India in terms ofgreen funding. As far as trade is concerned, biden is goingto be less obtrusive than trump. India already enjoys atrade surplus with the Us.

there may not be much change in the h1-b visa regimebut the information technology industry is likely to benefit.despite good personal relations between trump and Modi,the much-awaited trade deal between the two countriescould not be finalised. Keeping in view the promised focusof biden on rebuilding the Covid-hit economy of the Us,chances of expecting any concessions appear dim. biden,however, had been an advocate of strengthening trade re-lations and India would expect restoration of theGeneralised system of Preferences (GsP) benefits from hisGovernment. however, it remains to be seen if the new ad-ministration uses the same as a leverage for its differenceson certain issues with the Modi Government. even Modiexpressed the same hope in his congratulatory message tothe President-elect. he tweeted, “As the (vice President),your contribution to strengthening Indo-Us relations wascritical and invaluable. I look forward to working closelytogether once again to take India-Us relations to greaterheights.” India has embarked on the path of Atmanirbharbharat to meet the challenges of a post-Covid era. despitetemptations and provocations, our nation has so far resis-ted joining any camp but instead has continued with itsstrategy of need-based bilateral or multilateral agreementsin keeping with its national interests. We must continue onthe same path.

Biden’s bharat ................................................................

take off at all in bihar. Lalu, no doubt, will be faulted for squandering the op-

portunity. but this may not apply to Nitish. he started hisinnings with a promise to take the politics of social justiceto a higher pedestal and add the missing economic con-tent to it, without abandoning the process of political em-powerment of the backward castes, which had been set inmotion. rather, he tried to make political empowermentmore institutionalised and broad-based, compared to theLalu era. he not only made the local bodies as new sites ofempowerment by reserving political posts for extremelybackward castes, women, Mahadalits but also deftlydovetailed the agenda of development and good gover-nance with caste arithmetic. therefore, his first five-yeartenure definitely held out hope for all and sundry with thelaw and order improving in the state and the GdP hover-ing above the national average. he even lowered the anti-upper caste tirade of Lalu’s regime. And this was not anordinary achievement, given his constraints, which in-cluded the loss of mineral-rich Jharkhand, empty coffersand the tattered administration bequeathed by his prede-cessor. the much hyped economic growth of his era wasnot going to last long, with construction activities con-tributing substantially to this growth story withoutadding much in the manufacturing, agriculture and otherkey sectors of the economy. the result was that Nitish’sgood governance agenda floundered on generating em-ployment, arresting migration of workers and turning

around agriculture and allied activities, which could haveacted as the engine for employment and economicgrowth. the infrastructure definitely improved, particu-larly the roads and electricity. but this was not enough forthe new aspirational class, which was in the makingamong the backward castes, in particular, due to severalfactors, including the affirmative action programme.Problems for Nitish further got compounded when hestarted vacillating politically in the aftermath of NarendraModi’s rise to the national scene. this took a heavy toll onhis political credibility and severely constrained his ma-noeuvrability. the astute politician in him must havesensed that somewhere along the way he had lost the plot,with people restive about unemployment in a resource-starved state, the populist and majoritarian politicsstacked against him and his advancing age not on his side.

does this mean that bihar is heading for a post-socialjustice era in politics? though, looking at the current elec-tion result, it is too early to write an obituary of social jus-tice politics in the state. but in search of a new meaning,the old style politics based on pure caste arithmetic of theMandal era will not work. tejashwi’s failure to cash in onNitish’s sliding popularity, largely due to his father’s lega-cy and rJd’s poor track record on development and eco-nomic justice, is indicative of that fact. therefore, one cansay that an add-on to the identity politics in economicterms and a credible political face to deliver it are impor-tant takeaways from this election in bihar.

economic impact of India’s investments in the NationalMonsoon Mission and high-Performance Computing(hPC) facilities. the findings showed that mitigation,risk-avoidance and precautionary activities undertakenon the basis of weather information paid off for the farm-ers. similarly, the Indian Meteorological department(IMd) in association with the Indian Council for Agriculturalresearch sent Agrometeorological Advisories to 22 millionfarmers, through a network of 130 agro-met field units. Itwas found that 80 per cent of the farmers who had utilisedthese advisories could avoid severe crop-related losses.however, the flow of information through these advisoriesis also not without problems. In February 2018, the IMdissued storm and thundershower warnings forMaharashtra’s Nashik belt, which is traditionally a grape-growing region with nearly 1,00,000 tonnes of grape ex-port to its credit each year. the advisory compelled thegrape farmers to advance their harvest process to escapethe weather event. but soon, the IMd withdrew its fore-cast, resulting in premature grape harvest in the region

and heavy expenses were incurred by the farmers onlabour for the same. these instances spoil the credibility ofthe IMd and alienate farmers. In order to avoid these con-ditions, the department must work on firming up its fore-cast ability and ensure that retractions are not common-place as they play havoc with the farming community’sfortunes. Additionally, weather advisories are sometimesgeneric and lack district-level specifications, leaving thegrowers confused whether or not to take action to protecttheir crop. the IMd must overcome this flaw so that agri-culturalists are able to derive full benefit of a properly-is-sued forecast that is high on both minutiae details and ac-curacy. there is information available on how farmers aregaining because of weather data availability but there is nocomprehensive data on how much they have lost due to ahastily-issued and retracted weather forecast or otherforecast-related negligence. No information does notmean that it has not happened. the Government mustcompile authentic data in this regard so that the extent ofthe problem is realised and countermeasures are taken.

Us President donaldtrump not conceding de-feat in the just-concludedelection is an embarrass-ment, President-elect Joebiden said tuesday, assert-ing that his transition planshave remained unaffectedby this and he has startedtalking to world leaders.

"I just think it's an em-barrassment quitefrankly.... It will not helpthe president's legacy.... Iknow from my discussionswith foreign leaders thusfar that they are hopefulthat the United states'democratic institutions areviewed once again as beingstrong and enduring,"biden told reporters inWilmington, delaware.

responding to ques-tions from reporters ontrump not conceding therace, biden hoped that atthe end it's all going to cometo fruition on January 20th.

"between now and thenmy hope and expectation is

that the American peopledo know and do understandthat there has been a transi-tion. even amongrepublicans...who votedfor the president, I under-stand the sense of loss. I getthat, he said.

biden hoped that thosewho voted for him andthose for trump wouldcome together. "A signifi-cantly smaller number, buta lot voted for him -- I thinkthey understand that wehave to come together. Ithink they're ready to uniteand I believe we can pull thecountry out of this bitterpolitics that we've seen forthe last five, six and sevenyears, he said.

the President-electsaid that he has already be-gun the transition. We arewell underway. the abilityfor the administration inany way by failure to recog-nize our win does notchange the dynamic at all inwhat we're able to do, hesaid, noting that a day earli-er he has announced hisCovId-19 advisory board.

"We are moving along in aconsistent manner, puttingtogether our administra-tion in the White house andreviewing who we're goingto pick for the cabinet posi-tions...and nothing is goingto stop that. I'm confidentthat the fact that they arenot willing to acknowledgewe won at this point is notof much consequence inour planning and whatwe're able to do between

now and January 20th, heasserted.

referring to the con-gratulatory calls that he hashad so far with six worldleaders, he said that the re-sponse has been very ful-some, energetic, and theyare all looking forward tobeing able to, from Greatbritain to France toGermany to Canada, etcetera, and Ireland.

"I feel good about the

ability to...I said when weannounced that the nextpresident is going to inherita divided country and aworld in disarray. the re-ception and welcome we'vegotten around the worldfrom our allies and ourfriends has been real and Ihave a number of other callsto return and so I feel confi-dent that we're going to beable to put the Americanback in a place of respectthat it had before, he said.

responding to a ques-tion, biden said that accessto classified information isuseful, but he is not in a po-sition to make any deci-sions on those issues any-way. "As I said, one presi-dent at a time and he will bepresident until January20th. It would be nice tohave it, but it's not critical.We are just going to pro-ceed the way we have. We'regoing to do exactly whatwe'd be doing if he had con-ceded and said we havewon, which we have, and sothere's nothing reallychanging, he said.

A senior Us government offi-cial complained tuesday that theWorld health organization hasnot shared enough informationabout its planned mission toChina to investigate the animalorigins of the coronavirus.

Garrett Grisby of the U.s.department of health andhuman services griped that thecriteria for Who's China missionhad not been shared with othernations. he spoke during a week-long meeting of the U.h. healthagency's member countries.

the (terms of reference) werenot negotiated in a transparentway with all Who member states,he said via video conference, re-ferring to the mission's criteria.

Understanding the origins ofCovId-19 through a transparentand inclusive investigation iswhat must be done." In recentmonths, a long-planned Who-led team seeking to investigatethe coronavirus' animal origins inChina has stalled.

Although pandemic travel re-strictions and the focus on stem-ming the overwhelming numberof new coronavirus cases havecomplicated matters, some scien-tists worry that China has still notprovided key details about whatresearch is already ongoing.

the U.s. objections came asan independent panel commis-sioned by Who to evaluate itsmanagement of the globalCovId-19 response said it's con-sidering whether the U.N. healthagency has enough power and fi-nancing to stop future pan-demics.

Former New Zealand PrimeMinister helen Clark, who co-chairs the panel, said the groupwas especially interested in estab-lishing an accurate chronology ofthe very first coronavirus alertsand what responses were taken.

the Independent Panel willdo its best to shed light on whathas happened, is still happeningand why, Clark said. We are ask-ing whether Who has the rightmandate, the right powers, the

right capacities and the right fi-nancing to deliver on pandemicpreparedness and response.

Critics, including Presidentdonald trump, have slammedWho for allegedly colluding withChina to hide the extent of the ini-tial coronavirus outbreak. earlierthis year, the Associated Press re-ported that senior Chinese offi-cials didn't warn the public aboutthe pandemic threat of coron-avirus for six days and that theystalled on sharing the virus' ge-netic sequence and other key datawith Who experts.

Clark said the panel would al-so review "how well the Worldhealth organization and the in-ternational system at large havebeen able to deliver on countryneeds and expectations. onMonday, Who director-generaltedros Adhanom Ghebreyesuspleaded for more funds, sayingthe agency's budget was theequivalent of what the worldspends on tobacco every day.Clark has shied away from criti-cizing Who or member states like

China for their CovId-19 efforts.Last month, Germany and

France led a call from europeanUnion countries arguing thatWho should have more powersto independently investigate out-breaks in countries and that theirfunding should be boosted.

earlier this year, the trumpadministration halted U.s. fund-ing for the Who and vowed topull the United states its biggest

single donor out of the U.N.health agency by next summer.President-elect Joe biden hassaid he plans to keep the Unitedstates in the organization.

the Us presidential election was nottainted by widespread voter fraud or irregu-larities in how ballots were counted, despite ahuge effort by President donald trump toprove otherwise.

In refusing to concede the election,trump claims that he would have won were itnot for illegal votes counted in several statesthat he lost or where he is currently trailing.but trump and his allies haven't offered anyproof and their legal challenges have largelybeen rejected by the courts.

Nonpartisan investigations of previouselections have found that voter fraud is ex-ceedingly rare. state officials from both par-ties, as well as international observers, havealso stated that the 2020 election went well.

A look at the election and the allegationstrump has made.

hoW MANy PeoPLe voted thIsyeAr?

More than 150 million people voted in thepresidential election. As of tuesday morning,one week after the election, President-electJoe biden had received almost 5 million more

votes than trump.biden is projected to have 290 votes in the

electoral College to trump's 214, accordingto the Associated Press' analysis of votecounts in all 50 states. the AP has not yet de-termined the winner in Alaska, Georgia orNorth Carolina.

of the states trump has most targeted asallegedly tainted by fraud, biden holds smallbut significant leads in all of them. thedemocrat leads in Arizona, Georgia,Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania andWisconsin.

hoW dId the eLeCtIoN Go?several states successfully enacted voting

measures during the coronavirus pandemic.the democratic stronghold of California im-proved its mail-in balloting system, for exam-ple, and delivered as expected for biden. buttrump easily won reliably republicanNebraska, North dakota and Montana, allstates that also significantly expanded vote-by-mail this year.

two decades after it was at the center of adisputed recount, Florida has adopted earlyvoting and allowed voters to cast absenteeballots without having an excuse. the APcalled Florida for trump at 12:35 a.m.

Wednesday.vote counting was slow in three

Midwestern states that went for trump fouryears ago and flipped to biden this time: theso-called blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvaniaand Wisconsin. that's because of an increasein mail-in ballots, which the biden campaignpushed its supporters to use as a safety meas-ure due to the pandemic. trump baselesslyargued that mail-in ballots were subject tofraud and encouraged his supporters to showup to vote in person on election day.

As a result, trump led all three states inelection day voting, but those leads wereerased as mail-in ballots were counted.

All three states largely ignored advicefrom nonpartisan observers to expand thewindow for counting mail-in ballots beforeelection day. Michigan gave election officialsone day, and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin didnot allow counting beforehand. All threestates have republican legislatures.

WhAt Is trUMP ChALLeNGING?the trump campaign has filed more than

a dozen lawsuits in at least five states. ontuesday night, campaign officials said theywould file a new lawsuit in Michigan allegingin part that their poll watchers were harassed

or turned away and asking the secretary ofstate not to certify the election results.Attorney Mark thor hearne promised over-whelming evidence and piles of affidavits.

Poll watchers have no role in countingvotes. In Pennsylvania, the campaign haschallenged the state supreme Court ruling al-lowing election officials to accept mail-in bal-lots up to three days after the election as longas they were postmarked by election day.trump has also sued over campaign ob-servers allegedly being blocked from witness-ing vote tallying in Pennsylvania. And he'schallenged the secretary of state instructingcounties that voters whose absentee ballotswere rejected could cast a provisional ballot.

trump has won one victory so far: A statecourt ruled his campaign observers had to beallowed closer to the actual vote counting.that ruling had no impact on the outcome ofthe race.

Four other lawsuits filed by the campaignhave been dismissed. others are pending. onMonday, his campaign sued to forcePennsylvania not to certify the results of theelection altogether. the 85-page lawsuit itselfcontained no evidence of voter fraud, otherthan a smattering of allegations such as an

election worker in Chester County alteringover-voted ballots by changing votes that hadbeen marked for trump to another candi-date. top democratic leaders in the state ac-cused trump of trying to disenfranchise vot-ers and overturn an election he lost.

WhAt Are trUMP's ALLIes sAyING?trump's lawyers and campaign staff say theelection is not over and that they are investi-gating claims in several states, though theycontinue to lack any evidence of widespreadfraud that affected the outcome of the race.top republicans have supported the presi-dent's efforts to fight the election results incourt. senate Majority Leader MitchMcConnell said trump was 100% within hisrights to look into allegations of irregularitiesand weigh his legal options. Attorney GeneralWilliam barr authorized the Justicedepartment to investigate clear and appar-ently-credible allegations of irregularities."

WhAt hAPPeNs NeXt?All disputes over the counts in each state

must be complete by december 8. Membersof the electoral College vote on december 14.the Us house and senate hold a joint sessionon January 6, 2021, to count the electoralvotes in each state.

republicans are grasping forways to reverse Joe biden's win inWisconsin over President donaldtrump, despite there being no evi-dence of widespread fraud or votingirregularities in the state.

Instead, GoP officials are latchingon to minor issues and providing noevidence that any of the problems af-fected the overall outcome of the elec-tion. Instead the effort appears aimedat sowing doubt in the election resultsamong trump supporters ahead of apossible recount. the latest claimseeking to shift votes in trump's favorfocuses on rock County. biden wonthe county by more than 9,500 votes.

but near midnight on election day,the totals in that county as reported bythe Associated Press were reversed toincorrectly show trump ahead. theAP quickly corrected the error, some13 hours before the cooperative ulti-mately called the state for biden.trump's son, eric trump, retweetedan article Monday from the right-wing site the Gateway Pundit aboutthe vote flip. the article falsely claimsthat trump won the county and be-cause of it he should only be trailingbiden by about 1,500 votes statewideinstead of around 20,500 votes.there was a brief technical error inAP's collection of the vote count inrock County, Wisconsin, that wasquickly corrected, said AP spokesman

Patrick Maks. AP has myriad checksand redundancies in place to ensurethe integrity of the vote count report-ing. We are confident in what we havedelivered to customers. Final resultsposted on rock County's website,which the AP reported on electionday, show biden received 46,649votes in rock County while trump re-ceived 37,133. those results are con-sistent with 2016, when democrathillary Clinton defeated trump inrock County by around 7,800 votes.overall, biden beat trump by morethan 20,000 votes in Wisconsi n, a0.63-percentage-point win that willbe difficult to overturn in a recount.trump gained just 131 votes in a 2016presidential recount. there have

been no confirmed reports of illegalvoting, and the state's top elections of-ficial, Meagan Wolfe, has said repeat-edly that there were no problems withthe election reported to her office andno complaints filed alleging any irreg-ularities.

Follow these 6 Ayurvedic tips toprotect your lungs from airpollution, COVID-19 infectiont

he lungs are one of the most hardworking organs in the body, filtering air24 hours a day to keep you alive and breathing. basically, your lungs are onthe clock 24x7, breathing 12 to 15 times a minute - this translates to 17,000

breaths a day or more than 6 million breaths a year. your lungs are constantly work-ing to provide healthy oxygen to the body for its proper functioning. Just like othersystems of the body, even the respiratory system is prone to wear and tear due to theincreasing pollutants, toxins, and respiratory infections like CovId-19. In thesetimes, ‘prevention’ is the golden rule, and what is a better way to stay healthy and re-duce the risk of illness than our trusted Ayurveda science.

Keeping your lungs healthy with AyurvedaIt’s imperative to take care of our lungs, today more than ever, considering the se-

vere levels of air pollution, which may increase the severity of coronavirus infectionby damaging the inner linings of the lungs. however, many people rarely think aboutprotecting the health of these major organs.

“While CovId-19 already creating a danger for our healthy existence, the perilsare increasing due to rising pollution levels. healthy lungs bring vitality (Prana),that’s why Ayurveda refers to the respiratory system as Prana vaha strotas,” said drAnirudha Mohite, Chief Medical officer, certified center Nirogstreet, Kolhapur,Maharashtra. here the expert suggests a few Ayurvedic tips that can help maintainhealthy lungs: Nasya: this therapy includes the installation of herbal medicationthrough the nostrils. you can do Nasya therapy on an empty stomach an hour beforeor after a shower or exercise. one should lie down with the head tilted back and put 5drops of Nasya oil in each nostril. Nasya prevents nasal respiratory allergies, im-proves eye health, relieves fatigue, and alleviates vata dosha (thought to control verybasic body functions in Ayurvedic medicine). Gandusha/oil pulling: humans maybreathe through their nose and mouth as well. the nose has a filtering mechanism inpreventing pollutants that enter the respiratory system. but in the case of mouthbreathing, Gandusha (oil pulling) helps to maintain a healthy oral cavity and acts as abarrier to prevent the entry of pollutants and toxins through the mouth. Gandushainvolves holding medicated oil in the mouth for 10-15 minutes and then spitting itout. It cleans the harmful toxins and bacteria and strengthens the mucous lining ofthe mouth and oral cavity. Ura Abhyanga/massage: Ura Abhyanga includes the ap-plication of medicated oils or sesame oil on the chest and back followed by hot fomen-tation or hot water bath. It helps to loosen the toxins and sticky adherent kaphadosha (the force of stability) in the lungs and expel them out thus maintaininghealthy lungs.

Almost two decades ago, a re-searcher from the London schoolof hygiene and tropical Medicinehad called the simple act of wash-ing hands with soap a do-it-your-self vaccine! valerie Curtis, aprominent global hygiene advo-cate, who passed away this year,was referring to the immense po-tential of hand washing to signifi-cantly reduce diarrheal deaths, thesecond biggest killer of children.since then, hand washing withsoap at essential times is recog-nized as an important behaviour toprevent infections and save lives,especially for vulnerable childrenand families.

her words have acquired a newurgency in the last nine months,during which CovId-19 hasclaimed over a million lives global-ly, while the search for a vaccine tocombat the virus is yet to yield con-crete results. this means, handwashing with soap, that cuts therisk of viral transmission by 23-40per cent according to global stud-ies, along with social-distancingand masks, will remain one of thefirst lines of defense againstCovId-19 in the foreseeable fu-ture.

there is an increasing momen-tum for this on several fronts.

A 2020 rapid assessment byWaterAid in India found that 67per cent of respondents surveyedare seeking out information about

when and how to wash hands withsoap.

PM Modi’s Jan Andolan or peo-ple’s movement on CovId-19-ap-propriate behaviour launched onoctober 8, 2020 clearly emphasis-es the importance of practising thethree preventive behaviours: wear-ing masks properly; washing handsfrequently; maintaining safe dis-tance of six feet.

there is also a global push byUNICeF and Who through a Callto Action for all countries to createtheir own national hygiene roadmaps through the recentlylaunched ‘handwashing for All’campaign.

some of these were reflected inthe celebrations around Globalhandwashing day this year bymany political leaders, religiouscommunities and celebritiesthrowing their weight behind handhygiene campaigns and interven-tions.

how do we translate this mo-mentum into behaviour change?how do we encourage everyone tomake hand washing a regular prac-tice? how do we sustain it beyondthis pandemic?

For this to happen, we need tosee the following three in motion:

First, every person must fullyunderstand and appreciate the im-

portance of washing hands withsoap — essential for mitigating thespread of CovId-19, but also com-mon diarrheal diseases like in-fluenza, cholera and pneumonia.

the National sample survey76th round from 2019 revealedthat 35.8 per cent of householdmembers reported washing handswith soap before eating, while 74.1per cent did so after defecation.

the country loses 320 childrenunder five years every day due todiarrheal diseases, most of whichare preventable and, can be attrib-uted to compromised access to safehygiene, as well as sanitation andwater supply.

Washing hands with soap: Here’s why it is a DIY vaccine

Alot of us wait forthe winters toset in as it

brings respite from thescorching summer heat.but it cannot be deniedthat the chilly season alsobrings with it many sea-sonal health issues likecommon cold and cough.While people brush it offand do not take medica-tion for the same, it mighttrigger other health issues.therefore, it is importantto be a little more alertabout respiratory disor-ders, suggested ayurvedicdoctor dr dixa bhavsar.

“It might seem harm-less but it can take a toll onour health. so it’s better toprevent it in all possibleways,” she added whilerecommending some sim-ple preventive measures.

As per dr bhavsar, it isbest to avoid kapha orcold-inducing foods likecold drinks, yoghurtsmixed with fruits, sugaryfoods, cold foods, alongwith day sleep and lightnights.

she also recommendeda few home remedies thathave been used by genera-tions.

*boil 7-8 tulsi leaves, asmall piece of ginger, few

cloves of garlic (lasun), 1tsp carom seeds (ajwain), 1tsp methi seeds, turmeric(dry or fresh) and 4-5 blackpepper (kali mirch) in 1litre of water, until it getshalf. then drink it firstthing in the morning.

*No cold water forshower and drinking.Instead drink warm waterto promote digestive func-tion.

*honey helps sootheyour throat.

*drink ginger, turmer-ic, lemon tea.

*steam inhalation.Add some ajwain, eucalyp-tus oil or turmeric in boiledwater for steam inhalation.

*drink warm milk withturmeric.

*Gargle with licorice

decoction or luke warmwater with turmeric & rocksalt incase of sore throat.

*Chew tulsi leaves orliquorice (mulethi).

*have ayurvedic for-mulations like sitopladiChurna (expectorant),trikatu Churna andtalisadi churna (decon-gestant) with honey.

Along with these, youalso need to reduce intakeof fatty, fried, stale andstreet food. try and eatlight home-cooked foods,she said. dr bhavsar alsorecommended guidedbreathing techniques likebhastrika, Anuloma vilo-ma and bhramriPranayama twice everyday, both in the morningand at night.

I would also have to sign a job contract for 3 years cozsuch national defence related Us jobs usually have very highsecurity clearance and permissions so they cannot have peo-ple in and out of employment," tanushree put a rest to allthe news surrounding her job profile. since I'm an artist atheart who just happened to lose my way away from my craftdue to some very very bad human beings and the troublethey caused me, i decided to not be hasty in changing myprofession and re-consider what options I have inbollywood. I have a lot of goodwill in bollywood andMumbai so I came back to India and will stay here for some-time and will work on some interesting projects," tanushreeadded.

While rhea Chakraborty

is out of the jail, brother

showik is yet to secure his

freedom. he has filed a new

bail plea at the NdPs special

Court. he is being held for the

illicit procurement and fi-

nancing of drugs. In the drug

chats recovered by the NCb,

showik Chakraborty's name

came up on various occasions.

It seems he was in touch with

various peddlers to source

marijuana for late sushant

singh rajput. rhea

Chakraborty said that her

brother and she would buy for

him as he was apparently ad-

dicted to cannabis. she was

arrested because on one occa-

sion she apparently made a

payment through her card,

which is counted as electronic

device. In his bail plea,

showik Chakraborty's coun-

sel has written, "In the facts

and circumstances of the

present case, given that no

commercial quantity has

been alleged in respect of the

applicant, there has been no

recovery from the applicant

tain only to small quantities,

the embargo imposed by

section 37 of the NdPs Act,

1985 would not be applica-

ble." the young man has said

that no drugs were seized

from him. When the NCb offi-

cials raided the residence of

the Chakraborty's, they could

not retrieve any drug from

there. sushant singh rajput

was found dead at his resi-

dence on June 14, 2020. his

father, KK singh filed an FIr

against rhea Chakraborty on

July 27 in Patna. Post that, the

nances. during the course of

their investigation, the ed re-

covered drug chats from her

tress spent almost a month in
