Two Nations, two cultures:

Taiwan:

In Taiwan a power failure caused a total black out for a few hours affecting 17 cities on the main island 5 days ago.

The total area of Taiwan is less than that of Himachal Pradesh.

Taking responsibility for the power outage, the Economy Minister, Mr Lee Chih Kung apologised and resigned the next day.

The massive blackout was supposedly due to malfunction in a power plant caused by human error involving the state run, Taiwan Power Company and state owned gas supplier, CPC Corporation, 

Since then, the Chairman of state run CPC Corporation,Mr Chen Chin Te has also resigned taking responsibility for the major incident affecting normal life.

A team has been set up to investigate and decide the future course of action.

India:

In Gorakhpur 70 children died in a government hospital supposedly due to non availability of oxygen more than a week ago.

But the UP government, the Chief Minister and the Health Minister have denied this and have blamed lack of cleanliness and polluted ground water for the deaths.

However, a team of Ministers are investigating to find the reason.

Only the Principal of the college/hospital has been suspended pending investigation.

Only Gorakpur?:

In India this is the story from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, and from Independence to this day, except for some isolated cases across the country, when a few conscientious Ministers have resigned on their own.
