By Mansee Bal Bhargava Mother India or Bharat Mata is referred metaphorically as a Goddess of the billion plus people of India who is as caring and loving besides strong and powerful, who can guide its children to right path. Today, the children of the Mother India are going through a Tsunami of Covid-19 worsened further with the poor Covid governance.
This is augmented with the ongoing congregations at elections, Kumbh Mela, and the rising shortage of the medication which are failing both prevention of the disease spread and curing of the disease. At the background of this, the Mother India is also pained by the poor governance to the ongoing Farmers Protest for over eight months now and a number of protests in the recent times over the privatization of the railways, banking, insurance, and the exclusionary CAA-NRC.
