Coronavirus: India's pandemic lockdown turns into a human tragedy

 

Fifty years ago, we all used to be a skinny lot. Not enough as well as not nutritious intake. Foreign cartoons had starving indians as often as starving african children.

We are chunkified as much as anyone else in the affluent world.
