...simple as a difference in attitudes towards guns. As in Western European countries, gun laws in the Indian state of Maharashta where Mumbai is located are quite strict. While it is technically possible to obtain a gun license, few are granted. Even Bollywood stars have been denied firearm licenses for protection in the past. As a result, guns in Mumbai have a negative stigma attached to them, not social cachet...
...attempt to illustrate diversity is commendable, the exhibit’s scope is ultimately too large for the allotted number of works, forming a disjointed sampling—rather than a comprehensive collection—of photographs. DECEPTIVELY SMALL Curated by Kimberly Masteller, assistant curator of Islamic and Later Indian Art, the exhibition presents different styles of photography taken by artists of South Asian descent. Paradoxically, the show manages to be too broad and still remain quite small: It has a total of six framed photographs. The show is meant to complement “Overlapping Realms: Arts...
...Fathers all over Asia share that sense of guilt over their inability to balance work and parenthood. Dr. Sanjay Chugh, a New Delhi psychiatrist, says these harried, overburdened men stream through his consulting rooms: "Indian fathers have less and less time to spend with their children.

Most of the time Charles Krauthammercomes across as an odious right-wing bully, but in "Limousine Liberal Hypocrisy" [March 26] he did well in demolishing sanctimonious grandstanding on the environment.

The problem lies in the consumption patterns of the West, not those of ordinary Chinese or Indians. A meaningful dialogue on the environment can happen only when the per capita greenhouse-gas emissions of the West and the developing world equalize...
...like Paramount's male perennial, Bing Crosby, she often graced the pop charts: six songs in the top 10. They were mostly novelty tunes: "His Rocking Horse Ran Away," "Stuff Like That There" and the No. 1 "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief." But Hutton could also find the aching heart in plaintive ballads; her versions of "It Had to Be You" and "I Wish I Didn't Love You So" both made the top five. She would have had more hits, except that in 1942, just as she was becoming a break-out star, the musicians' union imposed a two-year...
