âI lost my father due to the governmentâs negligence,â said Mansi Dass, 24. âHad we found an oxygen bed for him on time, he would be here with us today.â
Mansiâs father, Thakur Dass, 59, died in Delhi on April 21 after testing positive for Covid. Three days before his death, his oxygen saturation level fell below 80 and the family desperately searched for an oxygen cylinder.
They could not find one.
âOn April 19, his health deteriorated,â Mansi said, adding that they went to at least three private hospitals to admit her father but were âturned awayâ.
On April 20, the family managed to find an ambulance and took Thakur to Ganga Ram Hospital, since it was the closest to their home to Patel Nagar. âThey refused to admit him, saying they did not have any vacant oxygen beds available,â Mansi said.

Aligarh and Women’s education: a brief overview | Ishrat Mushtaq and Sajad Hassan Khan
Saturday 9 January 2021
by Ishrat Mushtaq and Sajad Hassan Khan
Women’s education in nineteenth-century India was no easy task. In the case of Muslim women, the task was even more difficult due to their triply marginal identity: as colonial subjects, as women, and as Muslims. Not only did the custom of
purdah added to their seclusion from the social and cultural changes, their men hated everything about the western cultural influence (being displaced as rulers by the British). As a result, the middle class (the initiators of reform) was to develop late among the Indian Muslims than their Hindu counterparts. Nevertheless, by the late nineteenth century, a middle-class among the Indian Muslims was fledging. For this, no institution of the nineteenth-century can be given more commendation than Aligarh Muslim University.
