A bit of updating the list:

 

1)Dharam Pal Singh (1897, 1938): Still unsinkable and will be here for a long time.

2)Fauja Singh (1911): In failing health, both physically and mentally. Does not leave home nowadays and lost a dear friend to COVID just some months ago.

3)G. Venkatasubbiah (1913): Very old and frail, probably not able to walk anymore.

4)Saalumarada Thimmakka (1910?): In failing health, has been in hospital recently and mostly bedridden. Here we go again.

5)Aiyappan Pillai (1914): Declining health, received a call from the PM mid April, apparently bedridden.

6)Lambert Mascarenhas (1915): No news in years.

7)Man Kaur (1916): Still going incredibly strong.

8)S. I. Padmavati (1917): no news for a long time.

9)Shyem Saran Negi (1917): has been "seriously ill" and bedridden since January. A mystery how he is still alive.

10)H. S. Doreswamy (1918): Still going strong.

11)Philipose Mar Chrysostom (1917): Very frail, bedridden, physically weak according to his doctors.

12)K. R. Gowri Amma (1919): Increasingly frail and bedridden.

13)Amala Shankar (1919): suffering from severe dementia, unable to feed herself, bedridden for years.

 

A very frail-looking list...


S. I. Padmavati dead at 103 according to this tweet.


Edits to her Wiki page suggest it was COVID-19.

Confirmed. Well, visiting old patients in hospital at 103 when a pandemic is going on should go on Watchmojo Worst Choices in Horror Movies list...
