Coronavirus or Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a viral disease that turned into a pandemic in early 2020. The first known case was recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus has multiple variants such as Delta and Omicron, and its most common symptoms are fever, chills and sore throat.
Are writers like you paid for writing this kind of gobar on such a big platform? All you do is scream so loudly for freedom and democracy but you don’t sound like you have the minimum criteria to be called a sensible and responsible citizen.
Why does The Print have journalists like Gupta and co who have a myopic view which differs from majority view and reality on the ground. Are these journalists on the payroll of the Chinese/Pakis etc? Perhaps, that is why The Print lacks credibility!
Upper and majority of some what better off middle classes always love autocracy. They know democracy leads to concessions to the poor and disadvantaged
Simply mentioning Views are personal pseudo declaration. If it’s personal why are you broad casting the views thrusting on the public at large. You are not understanding realty.
You are comparing India to USA, ITALY AND SPAIN without understanding and being blind to facts and results.
Whole country is not going to beleive or follow a particular individual whoever it is to ban elections or make a person to be our perennial dictator.
There is a limit to denigrate the virtues of our country and spreading the hatred. We should do constructive criticism it is undesirable to do blind criticism and at the same to time not to have blind faith.
The only point to back the assumption that we are “secretly” loving autocracy was the use of Aarogya Setu app (which obviously would need to collect the most data possible, if it was trying to save a billion lives). Whether people are going to keep using the app after the pandemic is over, whether the government makes it a compulsion even after is definitely food for thought.
On the contrary, the author herself “secretly” fantasises about autocracy, for she sees the demand of people for good governance as the demand of people for autocracy. So, she believes, autocracy = good governance. Wonderful! Good reporting. Exactly what the country/world needs right now.

Autocratic or authoritarianism? This article paints a biased picture, an agenda which is being pushed through by this blog which isn’t even chewable. I am calling this a blog because it is not deserving of the journalism tag. Go and see the plight of migrants. Go and look for those who had to sleep on empty stomach yesterday without a hope of having any food the next day. Less governance is good governance. And if you do not like democracy then I’d request you to move to Brunei once the lockdown ends
If Indira Gandhi had this app in 1975 , the emergency would still be on. That’s how deadly its potential is.
Thanks for an excellent article, brainwashed Indians will not appreciate. Not all democracies failed against Corona. Germany, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea have set examples. Japan has democracy & discipline, proving they can co-exist. Pakistan is an example how religious fanaticism & weakening of democratic institutions can damage a nation.
no wonder such article is on print
Tired of reading garbage .
Absurd article.
Only such outstanding scholarship can place reliance being placed on a bollywood actor and a relative of a bollywood actor to drive home a brutally flawed point of view!
This is something I wanted to read someone bothering for personal liberty and Democracy.
There are many loopholes in system making arogya setu app complusion is like weird one.
what About people using feature cell phone that doesn’t support android application.
Totally biased viewpoint
RSS inspired by Adolf Hitler
Each coin has two sides Heads or Tails? One side would mean good and the other bad,
RSS formed in 1925 (94 Years) inspired with Adolf Hitler and adopted his bad side as used for
Jews (Holocaust) to crush Muslims (Bharat Minus Muslim) and failed to follow good side i.e.
boost of economy: Adolf Hitler achieved his goals in four years from bankruptcy to strong
nation with economic Sciencefic development policy challenged the World but Nature not
permits him.RSS /BJP is incompetent busy in raising slogans only to take country towards
Stone Age.
Wow, an opinion piece citing a bollywood star and a close relation of a bollywood star!
Such profound research and analysis.
Scholarship at its pinnacle.
India is and has always been a feudal society; the eldest male member in the family treats everyone to go by his edicts and he tries to do so till he can and when the next generation walk out of his influence.
The Child also goes out and brags, “My father is strongest.” He keeps doing so until he finds that too painful and walks out of that.
The same thing plays out in politics as well; the children of Modi within the party and outside of it go and brag, “My Modi is strongest.”
They keep doing this until they gain their sense and decide to walk out of the shadows of their political father.
The children of Modi are clapping for their feudal father and they want everyone else also to do so.
Their father and they try to scare all others who don’t go by their ways.
NO , NO, you are absolutely wrong India or Indian do not love autocracy. Why you or journalists of your type have not read , or if read kept remembering even recent history. First major attack on indian democracy was inflicted by Madam Indira G in 1975 and in 1977 , at first available opportunity she was shown people power. since then most of the incumbent governments can not claim to be getting third term as was practice during pre-1977 era of Nehruvian dynasty. From 1984 to 2014 all the governments formed were coalition governments – some of like-minded parties and some as rag-tag jugaads to stay in power till coalition crumbles under its own weight. Again , in era between 2004 and 2014 , the DYNASTY ruling by a remote control and its sponsored class of journalists misread the MOOD of NATION and thought the Golden days are back again for EVER as the government and its ministers indulged into unprecedented corruption and the clan of journalists unprecedented fallaterry. But every crisis or hopeless point of time gives birth to new breed of reformers. Babas led moral protests to show the sanity in public life. . Narrative changed. The political horizon saw rising of new star in Modi — the most hounded politician between 2002 and 2014. Is it history of some isolated island located in vastness of Pacific ocean ? Madam, it is most recent history of our own country. It has story, it has meaning, it has message for all reporters, politicians on the both sides , and even for public which is actor, visualiser, witness and participant. Please overcome your tendency to see in a binary or with anti-Modi goggles.
Even remember , 2020 history in -making. Modi government has so for done better on Corona front better than many of , if not all of, foreign governments. Data and visuals are on your TVS, Laptops .
India is moving ahead, will move ahead . if not an actor, be witness to war India is going to win against pandemic or managing ECONOMY simultaneously or afterwards.
Alright Ms. know it all, sit storm the country then lmao
This article is utter nonsense. Even if it is an opinion, such opinions are crass and not worth publishing. There should be a difference in opinion and fiction. I admire The Print articles but this reporter is a fiction writer and a bigot in real sense. If you people want to be a great portal, stop publishing such fiction articles.
