India is in one of the darkest moments since its independence as a second wave of Covid-19 crashes at breakneck speed.
The country had more than 386,000 new infections on Thursday, with more than 3,500 dead. Most experts say the death toll is much higher.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and they have accused his government of exacerbating the crisis, after a sharp drop in cases because the country was not affected by claims that it was in the “end game” of the pandemic.
The latest wave has surpassed all that Covid-19 has suffered since it first hit. The country’s social, economic, and geographical divisions have been plentiful, affecting the rich and poor in rural and urban areas.
