So your words to be taken more seriously ?
Because you said so?
Yes. I can find flaws in her article-
1. In December, while China was fighting the outbreak of the virus in Wuhan,
Was China actually fighting the outbreak in Dezember?
2. He borrowed the playbook from France and Italy. He told us of the need for “social distancing” (easy to understand for a society so steeped in the practice of caste) and called for a day of “people’s curfew” on March 22.
I guess you have never been to the subcontinent. There are caste problems in the rural areas in some parts of the country but in the urban areas it's non-existent. Moreover, are France and Italy the only countries which suggested their people to keep safe distance?
3.Locked down we were. Many health professionals and epidemiologists have applauded this move. Perhaps they are right in theory. But surely none of them can support the calamitous lack of planning or preparedness that turned the world’s biggest, most punitive lockdown into the exact opposite of what it was meant to achieve.
There's no perhaps. Either the health professionals were correct or they were not. In a disaster you follow the theory and don't try to 'think out of the box'. Can she suggest what Indian government should have done?
4.Many driven out by their employers and landlords, millions of impoverished, hungry, thirsty people, young and old, men, women, children, sick people, blind people, disabled people, with nowhere else to go, with no public transport in sight, began a long march home to their villages.
What she didn't write that most of these cases happened to migrants working in Delhi. Why didn't the state government take any action?
5.
An organisation called the Tablighi Jamaat, which held a meeting in Delhi before the lockdown was announced, has turned out to be a “super spreader”.
Why the quotes? Do you know that as much 30% tested positive have links with this congregation?
6.. Some believe it’s God’s way of bringing us to our senses. Others that it’s a Chinese conspiracy to take over the world.
Most people in India (whom I know or interact with on a regular basis) think the latter. I have hardly found anyone who is even remotely sympathetic to China in this case. She clearly doesn't know about the ground reality in India.
Now if you think that I am making things up or my acquaintances don't represent the general populace just have a look how India reacted to Modi's call for the solidarity event that took place last night. He is probably the most popular leader in Indian history.
Word of advice: despite being a supporter of Pakistan China hasn't been actually treated as an enemy state by India. The Americans have long been courting us to actively join their camp against China. The current mood in India is extremely (that's a mild word) anti Chinese. Don't test India's or Indians' patience too much. Don't take it personally as this is from a well-wisher of China and the Chinese people.
