who cannot live in harmony with the world / Though learned, are fools indeed (kural 140)

Criticism against any government by the well informed and good intentioned ones are not sin and they are necessary like organic manure for nursing and nurturing democracy.

A fascist leader with the arrogance of power will not entertain it for fear of losing power.

Modi's India  was accused of censorship for blocking social media criticism amidst covid surge , wrote Wall Street Journal from the US.

Going into the root of the problem The Straits Times Singapore underlined that  the unfolding health disaster  is a hybrid of  natural  disaster compounded by complecency, misgovernance and power play.

This complacency has turned  a seeming success story  into one of the world's worst hit places , said Newyork Times from the US.

Yes..Modi told the world economic Forum : india had  defeated the virus.Arrogance and hyper nationalism have created the crisis with the crowd loving PM basking while citizens suffocate, to quote The Australian newspaper.

The Guardian from UK and Global Times China also reiterate that India dropped their guard because of the leader's overconfidence.

I have strained to give the details that the world is watching us and Modi can't play gimmicks and  fool the  people that everything is well and he has delivered while he completes seven long years without any substantial achievement to his credit.

Manipulating and distorting data with regard to covid deaths  is a great disgrace to the departed.Because ours is a civilization that treats death and dying with the same veneraion as the living.
