What is behind a successful fear is the same as what is behind all kinds of other success: chance The way India has responded to the covid pandemic, it is as though the government cares deeply for us.
India, it seems, does not want Indians to die. This affection is confusing because India allows poisonous particles to float in the air, lets thousands die every year on its roads, and lets trains derail.
Actually, India does not even shut the doors of most trains. India lets dangerous chemical godowns function where scores have been burnt alive.
It allows so much filth and stagnant water that mosquitoes, snakes and pigs thrive in the heart of towns. People die after a feast; children perish after a free meal in schools.
