The long read..... but worth reading it to understand the underlying causes behind India's Covid crisis.

‘We are witnessing a crime against humanity’: Arundhati Roy on India’s Covid catastrophe

by Arundhati Roy
Healthcare is a fundamental right. The private sector will not cater to starving, sick, dying people who don’t have money. This massive privatisation of India’s healthcare is a crime.

The system has not collapsed. The “system” barely existed.

The system hasn’t collapsed. The government has failed. Perhaps “failed” is an inaccurate word, because what we are witnessing is not criminal negligence, but an outright crime against humanity
