Look at the network of institutions that have collectively developed and
approved two vaccines, ramped up production, and already produced more than
16 Cr vaccines
Look at the Cowin team and the vaccine administrators. Just imagine the
management of a server that gets crores of hit on a day and is almost
silent the other day...look at the team of vaccine administrators..who
administer the vaccine and watch you for symptoms before sending you home with
a certificate. No more are their complaints of post-vaccine complications.
Look at the step-by-step generation of certificates. and simultaneous
database creation
Look at the Indian Army.. which has one foot entrenched on the icy heights
of Ladakh overlooking all the Chinese movements..while the medical
resources are all stretched over, adding 1000s of additional beds, throwing
open for Civilians the meager resources which are insufficient for serving
and ESMs themselves.
Look at the Air Force...those pilots bringing oxygen generators from
across the world. Does anyone know when do these pilots sleep?
Look at the Navy, which has been ferrying liquid oxygen from across the
globe while the ship has been asked to shed all its medical resources

Look at the PMFs who in addition to their deployment in election and
other security duties are also raising and running additional hospitals
across the country.

Look at the excellent across the global networking of MEA..has anyone
counted yet the value of aid received and the goodwill India has behind
this support
Look at the DRDO..which has developed a drug along with Reddy's lab and
got Govt approval in a matter of 10 months or so. The drug which all go
into manufacturing will ease out the oxygen requirements of patients
Look at the Indian Industry, not only has it donated generously from
its CSR but also have ramped up the oxygen production to levels that the the world must be watching in awe.
Look at the small scale industry...today you can find oxygen being
generated in every nook and corner and a large number of them are
distributing it for free.
Look at the large number of class IV employees.. who are treated as
dirt by white-collar Babu's...the ambulance driver, the sweepers ..the
staff supporting medical examination..all are risking their lives daily,
even dying but none have run away.
Look at the crematorium staff.. overwhelmed..but not lost. Think of
their mental trauma...for days together they have been receiving dead
bodies..with all sorts of stories such as...all family wiped out..newly
wedded husband died, young son died father survived, people around making
heartbreaking cries..can anyone imagine what is their psychological
condition, how do they get sleep..in fact..they get so tired that they
don't sleep..after days of continuous non-sleep, they simply fall asleep
when they get to sit.
Look at the RWAs in all societies across the country..they all have
come together to support themselves and fight.
Look at all the educational and research institutions...they all have
patiently continued research been in lockdown..worked with Govt when
called for and supported students stuck, some of their efforts is beginning
to bear fruit
Look at a large number of NGOs and a large number of self-help groups
which have come together, raising funds, developing Apps and websites to
help those in need
No one in the world had predicted the scale and enormity of this second
wave..but it's the Govt of the day..which is continuously getting brickbats
in hindsight for everything. The Govt machinery has still not been derailed
despite a couple of ministers dying...the system is still moving though
many may not be satisfied.
There are many more who are ensuring that the nation does not fail. Friends
may add to this list and share with others..let the impression be not
created that the nation has failed..the nation is overloaded and
overwhelmed...it's recovering and soon will be out of it.
WHO HAVE ACTUALLY FAILED THE NATION
India has an excellent constitution to govern the nation ( the public,
the industry, etc). Constitution has three pillars...the legislature, the
executive, and the judiciary. The free press is recognized as the fourth
pillar. Unfortunately, there is just one pillar..the executive that works
with the public and industry. The other two pillars..the legislature and
the judiciary with NO executive experience whatsoever always tries to
control it and that too with no accountability. The executives and the
public are the most educated and experienced in the country, they
contribute by way of taxes from which the other two pillars survive but
still, it is the Executive that gets controlled by the other two
comparatively lesser-educated, inexperienced but highly egoistic pillars.
Just imagine, on a day, when you have to engage in an operation, you being
directed to make a national plan, just imagine while your boss wants you to
execute but supersedes your views based on logical arguments produced by a
set of persons who don't have to execute and have no accountability. The
fourth pillar, the free press is most irresponsible...for it, a smile is no
news..a death is, a thousand recoveries are no headlines..but ten deaths are.
It's always conniving to create an impression rather than reporting the
truth and let impressions be created in the minds of readers by analysis of
facts...it is always pushing an agenda while hiding the truth. They always
appear to have a hidden agenda, why else would two different media produce
entirely different reports.
There are a large number of corrupt, antisocial, and greedy people who
see an opportunity in profiteering from a pandemic.
And then there are a large number of Indians who do not wish to do
anything, at best they have some information of something not having been
done in a particular way, these are those selfish people who can't go out
and assist even their own sick family members....these are the people who
peddle their biases and prejudices...they have a piece of limited information and
try to paint a picture based on their biases. These are the three main categories of people who have actually failed the
nation. They are the thankless people who do not wish to acknowledge the
efforts of millions of Indians who are fighting to save others even at
their own cost.
Unfortunately, they are also Indians, it is best to forgive them but forget
them.
