The act of marking carries historical baggage. If India wants to mark those infected with coronavirus, it must think of sensible ways that don’t outlive the crisis.
A World Bank, Duke University, UPenn study conducted across 120 gram panchayats in UP shows conducting public meetings can improve healthcare delivery.
Tuberculosis keeps coming up in the context of the novel coronavirus pandemic. India’s tuberculosis burden has taught us a thing or two about infection control.
Modi govt is perceived as ‘strong’ because of its centralised functioning, but its slow response on Covid-19 exposes the risks that come with such style of governance.
No advanced nation has responded as poorly as the US. Perverse regulation, a bungled government test & fragmented supply chains held back testing for crucial weeks.
On 18 February 1956, 'Rajkumari' Amrit Kaur, India's first health minister, moved the Bill in Lok Sabha for the establishment of AIIMS in Delhi. She wanted it to have the powers and functions of a university because it will 'probably make revolutionary changes in curriculum as well as in modes of teaching'.
Move to bring down differences in commodity prices with neighbouring states, says government. Oppn, dealers blame it on welfare, Congress's guarantees.
Occasional lovers’ tiffs have marked history of RSS-BJP relations. To think that Nagpur will bring about any change in leadership is a misreading of both its intent and its power.
Exactly!! It’s like the absurd disclaimers saying that the publishers do not necessarily share the views of the author of articles!! They issue such stupid disclaimers as if editors at these newspapers are blind, impotent or dead!!
I it your mind’s breed, BJP is the national party and have full mejority in this democracy country.
It is best to keep Shah in background his aggresive approach in CAA led to unwanted communal holocaust. Though all in BJP have a communal mindset Shah should have administered it atleast better. He should realise he is administering whole India now and India is not a small state like J & K. Bulldozing may work for smaller single state but not whole country. In CAA and NRC implementation he showed poor insight and administration. In COVID where there is a huge humanitarian angle he would have completely messed everything with his autocratic approach. It is best to sideline him.
@Rajiv Pande – “Though all in BJP have a communal mindset..”
For the SICK, biased & stupid, the poisonous congress which created Pakistan, kept people who created Pakistan in India, led the largest number of communal riots is “secular”!!
Secularism has become a joke especially when led by anti national, Mulla vote parties like congress!! For them, any criticism of the bad & evil in Islam/Muslims is “Islamophobic”, as If Islam was a peaceful political ideology which descended from heaven!!
BJP is more danger then Corona .Amit Shah is expect to covert corona into Hindu/Muslim.
@Noor Ahmed laskar: Ha!! Ha!! We have seen Islam/Muslims in Kashmir, Pakistan, Bangladesh where tens of millions of Hindus & other minorities were killed in the name of an EVIL ideology!!
BJP is nowhere near of what you have been doing through out your inhuman history!!
When will you & your blind & brainwashed community start seeing within yourselves and your ideology as recommended in your own scriptures??
@Noor Ahmed laskar: Lol!! And ye!! Islam is peaceful and Nazis were god sent!!
BJP IS THE RICHEST GOVERNMENT IN INDIAN HISTORY ,THEY ACHIEVED TOP POSITION IN DEMONETISATION ,JUST REMEMBER SHAH’S SON COMPANY’S GROWTH,SHAH IS SILENT BECAUSE HIS GOVERNMENT MAY HAVR TO SHELL OUT MONEY IN THIS EMERGENCY.
India can overcome all difficulties once the internal hatredness n jealousy is finishes.
Unless the unity n love among the countrymen is established we will move ahead for further troubles.
Prem: You too & people like you too are infected!!
Prime Minister Modi was faced with Sophie’s Choice. If he did not order a lock down there would be tsunami deaths. In the lock down there would be calculable hardships, particularly for the poor. But if he did not order a lock down, the poor would suffer the most with scant access to medical facilities. With the lock down, the economy would take a hit and lead to massive unemployment. But if he didn’t order it, the spread of COVID-19 would mean the economy would be hit anyway with labour getting the disease.
PM Modi has always shown awareness of the poor and underprivileged, even if it is for the vote bank. In this decision, he has chosen to ignore vote bank politics. The poor who will suffer will not love him. The middle class and wealthy will not love him for causing inconvenience. But, he has squarely faced Sophie’s Choice. And we have to bite the bullet.

Part of what the writer says is correct – Modi is the face of the Government in handling this monumental crisis something which is a never before situation (even fundamentally different from a war) for any Government since Independence. Hence it’s far better to have one face of the Union Government. When the situation unfolds, others may have a role to play. Amit Shah’s role involves successfully coordinating with the top personnel of the state governments.
Please do not belittle Mr.Shah……Cutting jokes on strategic decisions cannot help anybody..
Shah is following Physical Distancing and moreover he can only take care of election, panna pramukh, karya Kartha for BJP or handle all issues targeting particular community. If Amit Shah is good in strategy, to win elections with micro level planning, where his strategy now to safeguarding migrants.
It is not always skilful acting, sometimes it is shameless acting !
He acted in front of Facebook’s CEO about his humble chai wallah origin, and even sobbed ! It was embarassing.
Rasgolla is khatta for bhakta jana.
@rasgolla: People like you are embarrassing for this this nation & the Hindustani civilization!!
Campaign in poetry, govern in prose. Once an election is won, governance should mean the welfare of the people. In an emergency like this pandemic, even more so, going up to the extent of saving lives. How leaders deliver and perform in this crisis will etch the trajectory of their future greatness.
The attack in Afghanistan on a Sikh gurudwara by Kerala based jihadi who had to go abroad to attack Sikhs and Hindus shows the effectiveness of the MODI REGIME AND HOME MINISTRY RUN EFFICIENTLY BY AMIT SHAH. The attack on Hindus AND Sikhs was supported by demonstration against CAA and non existent NRC by fundamentalist and rent seeking journalist and social activist.
@SHAILESH: Well said!! The EVIL in the evil ideology & community must have their balls clipped like in China!!
Print is the wonder of21st century…
This is a real mix of special brains of the country which exels in churning out articles with nothing to convey or write about but still runs thousands of words…
Just amazing
What problem you have Sanjiv Bhatia. Modiji, as PM, is head of the central ministry. In the emergency as such PM is fighting in the front. Other ministers supporting him. Why you people find politics in this?
Getting clicked or issuing statement is important ? Statements anyways are being issued by Rahul Gandhi….but what purpose is he solving….creating a divide. I believe working and showing the results is as important for the government as it is for all it’s citizens.
@Gaurav Gandhi: Rahul Khan Vinci of whatever those congress Gandhi names are.. They look more like Pakistan/China paid trolls & traitors!!
“Views are personal. ” Why not then keep the article personal too….
nice one!

bhaiya .. Hero toh Main role lega hi na ??

Still amit should have done his brains to stop this pandemic.
Amit Shah is infected by Coronavirus.

He is busy preparing to buy MLA’s to bring down the Rajasthan and Maharashtra Govt.

When both of them handle this problem deftly and the world leaders praise them, will you care to publish encomiums?
Did the two handle the fall out of demonetisation and shrinkage of the economy ? Did the world praise that foolishness ?
Only if it brings in the bacon
‘Modi, as the popular PM with his smooth talk, carefully orchestrated image and and “skilful acting abilities” can easily slip into the role’
What skillful acting abilities……… Always an agenda, always degrade Modi.. You people are despcicable,disgrace
It is not always skilful acting, sometimes it is shameless acting !
He acted in front of Facebook’s CEO about his humble chai wallah origin, and even sobbed ! It was embarassing.

The more I come to The Print everyday, the more I realise my mistake. Other than Shekar Guta and may be very few others, The Print is full of gas.
If he speaks, it is a problem. If he stays silent, it is still a problem.!!! U can’t torture a person like this.
Shah must be planning to overcome about economy crisis coming in future… They know there duties towards nation…
This is just a clickbait, Ruhi Tewari has no clue where Amit Shah is or BJP’s strategy. For a moment I thought she had some reasonable hypothesis.

Where is Amit Shah? I haven’t seen his photo or any statement by him ever since COVID started.
