People’s pleasing profile
Diversity in the country’s masses on various counts, historically speaking, has not come in the way of unity on many occasions such as the three major wars during 1960s and 1970s. Expressions (a) Jai Jawan Jai Kisan and (b) Ornaments for armaments proved electrifying on those occasions. India’s leadership has once again come to the fore in bringing out the courage and fortitude in its masses.
In the backdrop of high density of population, particularly in the 8,000-odd cities and towns across the country, compounded by a rapid rise in the number of automobiles cluttering the roads between cities and streets in city limits, the common sight until a few weeks ago, people complying with the stay home plea by the top brass in the Government has drawn high praise from many agencies across the world, particularly the World Health Organisation (WHO). The millions of children too have emulated their parents in not stirring out, a lesson for the sections in the adult population to learn even as they are defying the simplest prescription of maintaining social distance (about one meter apart). Mothers in both urban spaces and villages too have done a great job in keeping the ambience in their homes in good cheer.
The nation’s media, including electronic and print modes, not to forget the tabloids despite financial hardships, have chipped in splendidly keeping the people upto-date with all relevant information and data related to the crisis. The kind and selfless acts of caring for the economically devastated workforce depending on their daily wages by hundreds of voluntary groups is the star feature of people’s pleasing profile in this world’s largest Democracy. No praise is too much for both the land’s leadership and its masses.
