This week Harsh Mander is in Hyderabad. Harsh Mander is a former IAS officer, teacher, human rights activist, advisor to many development organisations and an author. His latest book that he wrote almost coming back from being dead because of COVID-19 is on the pandemic and how it has hurt the poor. Harsh Mander became a patient of COVID-19 and chose to be admitted to the general ward of a premier Delhi Government hospital, where he experienced memory loss, extensive brain damage and internal bleeding and the worst of all, the apathy of our health care system.
