27. Pyres in the Parking Lot, Part 2

  • Summary

  • When the Delta variant exploded in India in April 2021, many international observers were quick to point the finger at Prime Minister Nahendra Modi and his ruling party the BJP. Part of it is the general acknowledgment that the leader of a country is responsible when a disaster response fails so spectacularly. With the benefit of hindsight, we can now better examine what Prime Minister Nahendra Modi’s government and other local authorities did right, what they did wrong, and what they chose not to do at all. And, due to extensive corruption and incompetence, what we still don’t know about that period in time. We also touch on Vaccine Maitri, India's attempt at vaccine diplomacy, and how it took a hit when India's domestic woes overshadowed it's ambition on the world stage.
