BJP is practically paralyzed until May 2. It took farmer protests on the chin because it didn't want to create a spectacle that affects its prospects in West Bengal. This "India variant" outbreak came in 4 weeks too late. The BJP still stands a strong chance at winning West Bengal. After that, one can expect big changes, beginning with action against turban naxals, and decisions related to COVID, such as punishing the Americans.Everybody should be taking Vitamin D supplements. How bad is the covid situation in India? Is it as bad as some of my American friends are saying? Will this destroy Modi and BJP in forthcoming elections? The supermajority and constitutional reforms are the absolute key
America cannot touch China, it's looking for a new punching bag to show its masses that it's still a global-cop. Unfortunately that punching bag is "illiberal" India, nevermind the fact that China and Saudi Arabia are totalitarian states.
India must pull off another "pokhran" like event. By this I don't mean nuclear tests. It has to be a disruptive political decision that shocks India's existing relations with the west, so new ones could be built on our terms.
