Whether we call ourselves a failed society or a failed state, the bottomline is that we keep failing. Telltale marks of pyres on Ghaziabad footpaths or pictures of melting furnaces of electric crematoria in Gujarat or the long queue of ambulances first outside hospitals and later at crematoria gates or the fudged numbers of mortality all around — there has been no respite from the dance of death. Not getting infected or not dying is only a matter of chance and not science because our pre-modern politicians, Election Commission of India (ECI) and the governments have long since abandoned reason.
