The situation in Central India 🇮🇳 is pathetic, I have seen people dying in front of us, because of shortage of oxygen Ramdesivir and other essentials, like ventilator.
Days are Horrible and this is getting worse day by day, lockdown is crushing the economy.
Middle class and Upper class can survive, workers/daily wagers are already pushed towards suffering.

We all can understand how much masses r struggling for their basic living from around the world, we should pray for all humanity.

India choosed racism and politics instead of development...
This is the result...

Surprised that the bjp IT cell is now completely silent

[nischuAnchan]

It's shameful that no one learnt their lesson from last time

[nerdyexplorer]

We are in a very bad situation right now.The negligence of people and government has caused a lot of damage due to second wave of covid

I think this should prove that having large populations and large fragile economies is *not* sustainable. Consumption and population growth should be regulated in every country.

"Every Nation Gets the Rulers They Deserve"

They promised you a Ram temple and a Rama kingdom. You give them authority, and they keep their promise. Then why are you worried about hospitals that they don't promise ...?

They promised you a ban on cow slaughter and cow protection, you gave them power, why should you worry when they keep their word about public health and infectious diseases that they did not promise ...?

They extend to you dominion over the other and the freedom to take the other's life. When you empower them and you enjoy the freedom you get, why should you worry about the self - defense they did not promise, and the plague deaths ...?

Through rules and regulations with what you want and what you don't 'They formulate policies with self-satisfaction in the pain of the other, Why should you mourn for the corpses piled up on the sidewalks while enjoying the fall of the other ....? Did they promise you a decent life, living conditions, health or treatment why even a decent funeral ...?

No ....
what they said and what you wanted was just racism and slander. They give and take in abundance. Yes, the government gives you what you want. When they give you what you deserve in the form of amulets, festivals and cow dung, do not be ungrateful verbally about what they do not give and what you do not deserve, instead of being self-satisfied.

Because ...
# Every nation will have only those they deserve as rulers II

if Indian PM wisely utilized the money for Hospital projects and research center instead spent for Patel statue, He could saved now thousands of suffering humans. In other word, he could save 1000 new Patel's in india. Unfortunately we got similar mentality most CM as well in state

India’s incompetence on the pandemic is evidence again and reason why the US loves India to be a geopolitical ‘partner’, because India will never be able to challenge the US for position and that India is seen as a something that the US can leverage against China with. For prior decades the US tried to use China as leverage again the old USSR/Russia and a profit generating source, always expected China to forever behave as a developing country. Never expected the political structure in China can be so efficient and competent in developing the country. India is US’s next tool.

India’s second coronavirus wave will record more cases than the first one. As Indians are celebrating lots of festivals, holding election rallies and participating in elections etc.

When I see such videos of india in my mind always came those indian people comments who were shouting check r gdp 🥵

[obsidianstatue]

around 90% of the indian workforce are employed in these informal sectors. India is literally a pre-industrial country, with a tiny bit of its people living in the modern economy.
