Jobless after virus lockdown, India's poor struggle to eat

[SIPRA]

Born to suffer, made to die.... Poverty is the Greatest Dehumaniser!

Fat man fears death... dies...

Starved man fears death...dies...

All these skeletons walking...walking..walking... towards the added bonus of more misery on top of dailywages of hunger, disease, abuse...horrors to negotiate just to live on one more day....

What is bigger tragedy.... these Skeletons Walking?

Or those who don't see these Skeletons Walking?

The Hole in Indians Soul is as much as their bodies... and yet they never stop to reflect the quantum of Humanity within... just Cacophony of Emptiness...make-beliefs realities as they chug along....from top to bottom... indifferece, indifference....

HumanCondition is Suffering!

Modi is in line for the Nobel if we can beat this.

Remember this date and thread.

Depends on your definition of 'beat' .

Trump thinks 100,000 dead is a win. I wonder how many Indians should die for Modiji to win a prize?

There is no comparison between a large continent like the US with 300+ million

And a densely populated country like India with near 5 times as many people packed in

Ok, with all that and India just going into a humanitarian disaster, with a lack of testing, lack of credible numbers (1100 infected as of yesterday?). You've already started talking about prizes.

It makes one wonder in what scenario Modi supporters wouldn't think he deserves a nobel prize

Edited for clarity

What is meant by that ?

Why is India so dirty?

 

[EasyNow]

What is meant by that ?

The first case in India was on Jan 30th. In 2 months, India has only confirmed 1100 cases. Does that sound credible to you? Is that a reflection of the reality?

India is obviously not testing enough people - either that, or the govt is fudging figures, you decide.

As an aside, India should have strictly implemented single-child policy two decades ago at least.

Guess who would have screamed loudest.

Horrible. What a monster Hindu Extremist PM Narendra Modi has turned out to be for Indians. So heartless.

Thousands upon thousands of pajeets forced to walk back to their villages (some probably carrying the virus) and this guy demanding a Nobel for Modi-Ji.

Heart-breaking scenes. Poor, elderly, women, children herded like animals on the streets of Indian capital Delhi. One guy was saying that he doesn't care about corona but fear for his life because of hunger! One women was saying that she got no choice but to walk 300 Kms to her village! In this hot weather with no food! would she even survive! Truly apocalyptical scenes from Hollywood movie, only, its a reality of today's India.

BUT..

The hindu terrorists and their sympathisers will still find no issue with this. Licking Modi arse is more important, the hindu "tough guy" image leading the world "supa powa" (NOT) is more important then these downtrodden of the society. What is more staggering these people on streets form 80% of India workforce.

This hasn't been thought through. Blunder after blunder. Kashmir, failed balakot drama, demonetization, total failure to isolate Pakistan, and now this. Who in actually right frame of mind take this chutiya seriously?

Wishful dream, my little Indian friend. Somehow I doubt it because the 80% poor will remember how their loved ones were lost due to utter mismanagement by the GOI.

Don't worry, Modi regime is well on its way to reduce the population of India.

Just academically ...

What was the blunder in Kashmir?
