How India Braces For Impact One After Another....

-

 

It is a test for India of unprecedented proportions. An old Buddhist teaching says that disasters hits a country one after another, if there has been deep disrespect to sanctity of life itself. 

For India, this could not be more true. The country lost lives at an unbelievable speed as the second wave of Covid-19 gripped the nation by its throat. The other disaster hitting it is now the 'black fungus' infection, a mold and crusty growth that is forming on the nose and eyes and leaving people blind and without a jaw too. 

While doctors are saying this is more to do with mold and fungus formation in the oxygenation systems in hospitals and affecting people with underlying disease or compromised immunity, it has been declared another epidemic for India.

Cyclone Tauktae has already rocked the East side of India while West Bengal and Odissha brace for impact from another cyclone Yaas. The ordeal of the nation is unending and a testing time for PM  Narendra Modi's leadership who has already been ridiculed for shedding tears over a video grab expressing his grief over lives lost to one disaster after the other. 

There is no knowing as to why India is going through such an ordeal, except the explanation of the Buddhist scripture that says that unless the leaders and people of the land learn to live with each other in harmony, respect and co-operation, there is no way to even prevent the next best disaster- foreign invasion. China has backed off for the moment, but will this remain so, is difficult to say. 

It might just be the calm before a bigger battle India has to fight. The internet is said to have curbed the right news flow. The media has been feeding negative frenzy of news and its not pleasant. But there is a lot of good also happening when people are transcending religious differences to come together and help each other in times of need. 

There is hope of a new India to be born, to be resurrected from all this misery.

Callousness of authorities have been blamed by residents whose family members have gone missing while transiting illegally through Tunisia  Residents of Zarzis in southern Tunisia has extremely angry.
