And then there is that piece that articulates the thoughts and emotions that have been building up inside...
In which @samirsaran calls out the biased, colonial, arrogant and vicious portrayal of India by the Western media as it covers the pandemic.
He writes:

1. As economic power begins its shift East, there is an increase in a hard stereotyping by the Western media.
2. "..the West seeks to tower above by diminishing the East"
3. It does so by picking only those stories that fit the stereotype.

5. "Over the last two months, organisations such as the BBC, the Atlantic , the Washington Post and the New York Times, among others, have run series of reductive commentaries on the state of India’s preparedness and its capacity to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic."
