This 60s kid & media mogul has forgotten that India’s poor people gave their clothes, food & whatever little jewelry they had when the Nehru govt brought a calamity upon Indian Army in 1962. But he must manufacture a lopsided narrative because that’s what Indian media is best at. https://twitter.com/shekhargupta/status/1386283534306869249

As if coronavirus pandemic is unique to India, as if India’s healthcare was A-class before 2014, as if 140 million Indians who got vaccine shots, got it without the efforts of the Indian state, as if vaccine, medicine & oxygen manufacturing & distribution is happening in vacuum!

Have to say, those in Indian media who manufactured the coup story without a shred of evidence, can fabricate anything from the absence of state to the presence of state in thin air. That is how you become a media mogul, magically in India. And you can get away with anything!

To begin with all comparisons between this unprecedented, global mysterious coronavirus pandemic and India’s national crisis from 60s till last year, are illogical. Yet if you do, please remind yourself of the malnutrition, starvation deaths in India because of poverty in 80s.
