What the indemnity clause is and how its waiver will accelerate arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in India
Editor s note:
This piece has been replugged because there are reports that India has been offered 7.5 million doses of Moderna s COVID-19 vaccine through the COVAX global vaccine sharing programme but the consensus on the indemnity clause has added an element of uncertainty on the arrival of vaccines.

One such term is the R-number, which several policymakers across the globe have kept at the core of their strategies against the pandemic.

What makes Chaitanya Tamhane s The Disciple an unprecedented onscreen study of Indian classical music

By Julia Laite
In January 1910, a 16-year-old girl named Lydia Harvey boarded a steamship in Wellington, New Zealand, bound for Buenos Aires. She had been recruited by a pimp to work in Argentina’s booming sex trade. After a traumatic month in South America, she was brought to London where she was forced to solicit in the West End.
