As India records 400k+ Covid cases in a single day, Arundhati Roy tells @MehdiRHasan the Indian gov’t failed to heed warnings. “[Experts] were red flagging this from April last year ...nothing was done, in fact the reverse was done. Gloating, organizing pilgrimages of millions.”

Populists are so great.
Has any government of India looked after its people any better? Not that I know of, not that we have seen throughout history. India's rulers could give a damn about the people they govern.
All doors going in and out of India needs to shut globally, till there is evidence of the Virus is being controlled.

Modi, Bolsanaro, Trump - authoritarians just do not engage stakeholders or consult with experts. They just don’t. And the results show, with COVID unfortunately in the form of mass tragedy.

Why don't you shut up Ms. Roy? It is a shame that ppls like you think that other countries are in a better state. Big mouths like you think every situation is a creative seed to display your art. Instead of using ur social influence to spread positivity, u use it to fuel poison
Mehdi. Curious how you spun this disaster into being the republicans and trumps fault. How’d you do it ?
curiously, vr thr hv been massive election rallies, assam, west bengal, tamil nadu, puducherry, do NOT show chaos & people dying. dis is happening in 3 capitals of India - delhi - political, mumbai - financial & bangalore - IT
