India may have a 100 flaws and i passionately oppose them for many things. But they're being lead by a person who is in my opinion the biggest leader in the history of democracy in subcontinent. PM Modi's visionary leadership of India, his astute diplomacy and his monk like patience has helped our neighbours immensely in staying in a very healthy position while the world and especially the region continuously felt tremors in last many years.

I wish we had even half as good as him.

Chomu Pakistanis will keep hating him simply because they do not have the guts to look in the mirror and call a spade a spade. They think that it makes them look small if they were to be honest about him. My advise is be honest with Deen and learn to give credit where its due.
 
I wish the utensil banging ritual comes back with a chorus on 'go corona go' chants. Such a delight.
 
Already covid like feels
Travel restrictions
Online classes
Etc


Covid lockdowns were a warm up/test run for what is to come.

When people are scared of being sick, most will adhere and stay in.

But when people are hungry, thirsty and cold with little work or unable to buy basic groceries, they will not adhere to any lockdown lol.
 

Indian scientist already discovered cooking gas which is gonna replace LPG in near future. Regarding LPG shortage, Modijis diplomacy worked, Argentina is ready to supply LPG to complete quota. Russian crude oil tankers already reached/reaching Indian ports. Life is normal in India only opposition parties and converted, extremist n jehadis have problem with India.

Yesterday I attended one wedding in Mumbai where 100+ delicacies on the menu.
 
India couldn't handle COVID. From all th countries in the world they fared the worst. Millions of COVID related deaths. Modi was unprepared. Still remember the videos of dead bodies strewn across Delhi.

I hope this fuel crisis is nowhere as severe. Many third world countries will suffer badly if this war continues.

Philippines has declared an energy emergency today. The first country to officially do so.

Understand stats are not your strong point. But just try to verify at-least before your pre-conceived notions.


And China didnt even report official deaths properly. Never seen these claims on them.

Countries with Low international traffic was less hit as they were more insulated. And vaccination drive in India was pretty robust. It was sad times knowing the reality on ground but not everything can be blamed on government. India took lock-down decision ahead of many nations and it was commendable. Second wave was dangerous due to mutation of the virus but government did take many measures including health and financial support expanding to all spectrums of life.

China and India were two nations where it was very difficult to control given its population dynamics but they came out of it really well. And that was visible post-Covid with economic rebound.
