India has been crossing one grim milestone after another this month. Today (April 15), the country crossed 200,000 new Covid-19 infections a day, for the first time since the pandemic began over a year ago. In the past 24 hours, it also reported 1,038 deaths, taking the total tally up to 173,123. While India has so far been lauded for keeping Covid-19 fatality rates lower than the rest of the world, a more violent second wave may soon change that. This also leads to the question of whether the government is currently underreporting deaths. In some states and cities, this may well be true. In the western state of Gujarat, for instance, regional-language media has been upfront in its criticism of the government, which has been accused of downplaying the Covid-19 situation. The high court in Gujarat has also filed a suo moto case and asked the government to explain how its numbers are grossly different from people’s accounts of the rise in infections and deaths.
