India Lockdown: A War against Corona

The present novel depicts the life of a narrator in one of the small citiies during the period of lockdown that was declared to win the battle against Corona Epidemic.Chinese things are generally duplicate and temporary for use, but this virus was something different. Permanent. Ever dying. The country, that makes the cheap things that could live for a short while only, can produce such a virus that can swallow the whole world...... do you think that we are rascals. Do you see the word 'silly' on our foreheads? We expected you to talk on Corona, the steps taken by you to control the spread of Corona. We expected you to declare package for the farmers whose milk is unsold, the vegetables are destroyed and thrown out of the fields. We expected the package for the workers. We expected you to talk on whether you will definitely end the lockdown. We had expected you will declare some policy about the workers who are walking for hundreds of miles without having food to eat. But what did you say? 'Taali Bajao, Thaali Bajao, Ghanti Bajao.' And now light the lamps. What kind of lamps you had lighten in last six years. If you had done it, you would not have asked us to light the lamps. Our decision is final. Final means final. We won't switch off the lights and lighten the lamps. Final.Most of the people said that Modi had extended the lockdown up to 3rd May; because he had to show the public that he had done something different. The Chief Ministers of Odisha, Punjab, Maharashtra and Bihar had extended the lockdown upto 30th April. So he might have done it. Then the question arises why didn't he declare the extension of lockdown? Was he waiting for others to declare it? The central government finally said that the air and railway transport will not open before 3rd May, 2020. And whole nation was drowned in darkness, i.e., Lockdown-2. The workers, professionals, soldiers and farmers in the country contributed their level best to the development of India. What was their fault? They were working on their own, helping their family members. The arrival of Corona infected people had brought holocaust in their life. Their daily routine was hampered. They were locked where they were.If this was the situation, didn't our authorities know that people have gathered there? Why didn't they close the programme and sent people back to their countries? Or did the government wanted the things to happen? If the organizers are punished or prosecuted, what will be done with the officers and security agencies that were responsible for that? As the Corona entered India, the first thing that was closed was the temples, mosques and gurudwaras that is the place of worship was closed. If the Gods are real, why don't they free their believers from the disease? Even no God all over India revolt against the lockdown. We must remember that we have created Gods, and not the Gods created us. So we have to save ourselves. God is no one to save us; but these people had belief in their God for whom they were ready to die, they were ready to break the law of the land.
