The recent drama experienced by the Indian population in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic has been widely covered by the international media. This has contributed to the mobilization of public opinion and to humanitarian intervention actions. The images of people dying at the doors of hospitals for lack of beds, medicine and oxygen is terrifying and a reminder of humanitarian catastrophes like Biafra and Darfur. During the past weeks, those of us who spend time in India and with Indians, have been witnessing heartbreaking images of a suffering people. We could hear continuously ambulance sirens carrying bodies. There were also images of crematoria, deliriously full and working from sunrise to sunset. One could smell the stench of charred bodies and hear the lamentations of grieving families. The shortage of oxygen and the disorganization of hospitals and ambulances are particularly visible and have taken tragic proportions for this miserable population which counts its deaths every minute of the day. As such, one can say that happy India has suddenly turned into an image of Judgement Day.
