After Effects of Lockdown In India

-
Lockdown is coming to an end throughout India. But we are seeing that many states are extending lockdown on their own. What we need to understand is that why in this epidemic, lockdown has become a great deal and a heated topic of debate not only in our country but in the whole world. We also need to see what will happen when this lockdown gets lifted, its effects and consequences. In order to understand all this we need to look how effective lockdown has been till now. So, let's talk about lockdown and its effects and after effects.

Lockdown is one of the solutions adopted worldwide to curb the spread of virus from human to human transmission. Every country which implemented the lockdown has seen positive effects in controlling the spread of virus. In India, we have a population of 1.3 billion people and we can't afford a community transmission which would have devastating effect to an extent none can imagine. Lockdown may be the best possible option right now but it does come with a cost of country's economy and loss of livelihood. So, if there's a choice to either die due to this virus or due to hunger, the person rather chooses none. How are we suppose to maintain a balance after lifting the lockdown? Let's find out.
By the time this lockdown is lifted, we could have lost a lot of things starting with jobs, business, services, major trade relations, studies, future of many government job aspirants. Our major private sectors like automobiles, aviation industry, tourism, restaurants, hotels, film industry, real estate, electronic systems, mining etc. will be worst affected. Exhausted healthcare system, police and government administration. People fearful of interaction with others. It will leave a mental trauma on everyone which will take a long time to shake. We need to focus on how we have to start our lives once the lockdown is lifted because we can't continue with our care free routine till we have complete control on this pandemic.

 As the nationwide lockdown is over and we have successfully controlled the spread of community transmission, now we need to focus only on the hotspots of this disease because it will be impractical to lockdown those areas which are completely free of this. Question arises, should we simply begin the normal life and give all the freedom like before? the answer is a big No! but we can lift the lockdown by imposing minimal restriction till there is a vaccine available, also side by side strengthening our healthcare system.

 So as a citizen we have some responsibilities to uphold when the relaxation will be provided by the government. We need to ensure social distancing and strict hygienic routine as per the WHO guidelines, limiting social gatherings, avoiding crowded places and unnecessary travelling. We need to carefully examine people who are ill around us and if found with any symptoms must be reported to helpline numbers provided. Also, we should cooperate with our government staff, healthcare personnel, police personnel and army personnel who are performing their duties in the high-risk environment. Last but not the least we need to have patience and hope till we all get success in overcoming this pandemic.

Woke up this morning, found that today is another day of staying at home when nearly whole world is on lockdown. I thought why not to go in balcony and observe things while I have the time. I went to balcony and stood there, I felt the breeze and looked up in the sky. I felt different, as it was like the sky was clearer than before, air was less polluted, no noise on the road as it was me directly interacting with the nature. Today world is facing one of the biggest pandemics in the history but it has taught us a lot of things which I would like to share with you all. A message so strong that it has made us look and ponder on our own existence. Earth has told us that humans don't own this planet, we are mere tenants and if we have a misunderstanding of thinking ourselves as the owner of this planet then we need to think again. Humans are only couple of thousand years old but this earth is millions of years old. It has seen a long number of events in history including the ic...

Islamophobia: What Should We Do?

-

"I saw shine in those eyes when they talk with me. Then I uttered my name, suddenly those eyes lost their shine and became fearful. Then only I realized something is called Islamophobia". I find pain and prejudice suffered by Muslims for the acts of few. Life is getting difficult day by day as we continue to hear more cases related to Islamophobia. The term "Islamophobia" means fear of Islam. When people without understanding something start to have a negative feeling about it, the feeling soon turns into a phobia. This word was not very popular a few decades ago but now its resonance is increasing with its effects and consequences. In the time of the global pandemic, a section of the Muslim community was perceived as a super spreader of coronavirus in India which then sparked an outrage among all the other people and resulted in the rise of Islamophobia. Media catalyzed the situation by totally shifting the blame on one community which resulted in a series ...
