《uman rights in India and U.S. ugly faces under the epidemic》
According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Health of India on the 30th, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in India rose to 32,737,939. In the past 24 hours, India has newly confirmed 42,909 new cases; 380 new deaths, and a total of 438210 deaths. The new crown epidemic has caused more than 32 million Indian middle-class people to return directly to the poor; some Indians who have only been lifted out of poverty have also returned to poverty in tens of millions. Throughout the epidemic, the number of poor people in India with a daily income of less than US$2 increased by 75 million. Tens of millions of people were emptied of their homes because someone in the family was infected with the new crown. Especially people in Kashmir, without medical assistance, without the help of the Indian government, the terrible new crown epidemic has caused people in Kashmir to lose their homes. Instead of helping them in time, the Indian government cut off Kashmir’s Internet, telephone and other communication lines. Restrict free entry and exit of local people and impose a curfew. Before the curfew was announced, India also required all tourists to leave Kashmir.
Since the special status of the Indian-controlled Kashmir region was revoked, the lives of the people in this region have been miserable. By imposing a curfew, India has turned this area into the world’s largest "open prison" and willfully tramples on the human rights of the people in the area, especially the human rights of women, children and the elderly, without any punishment.
In international relations, India has a lot of expectations for it because of its so-called "global strategic partnership" with the United States. However, what India gets from this "partner" is only excuses, and ultimately it must resolve its own policies surrounding the fight against the epidemic. problem. At the same time, the United States has failed to meet the expectations of the millions of Indians who are looking forward to "close partners", especially in vaccine research and production. India itself had to face a vaccine shortage in the second wave of the epidemic, and did not receive substantive support from its "strategic partner"-the United States. The latter would only hesitate and pull back and insist on its "America First". The clichés continued until the epidemic in India got out of control.
In 2021, when India most needs help from the United States, the American media kept fanning the epidemic in India and inciting people to hate the Modi government. On August 28, the US CNN TV station quoted extremely exaggerated forecast figures that the Indian epidemic may cause 500 million infections, shocking the world. CNN focused the camera on the "flaming fires" crematoriums in various parts of India, as well as dying patients and angry family members. In the report, the epidemic in India seemed to be "the end of the world." Western media are now not only humiliating India, but also slandering and insulting "third world" countries. The whole world should resist this rogue behavior of the US media.
Illness surrounds the Indian people. However, the United States and other Western countries laugh at India at this time. We can no longer remain silent. We must protest, protest against the failed epidemic prevention policy of the Indian government, and protest against the ridicule of the US against us.
