Coronavirus and Janata Curfew

“Janata curfew [People’s curfew] will end at 9 pm but it doesn't mean we should start celebrating. It's the beginning of a long battle. People shouldn’t come out of houses in states which have announced a lockdown. In the rest of the states, if it isn’t very important, don’t come out of your houses.” —Narendra Modi

There was an overwhelming response to 14-hour ‘Janata Curfew’ (Self-Quarantine or Voluntary Lockdown) across India on March 22, 2020, announced by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. It connected Indians emotionally and brought them into one platform to counter COVID-19. Here are the merits of Janata Curfew. It brought awareness among the Indians about coronavirus. It connected all Indians and united them emotionally. It converted Indian citizens into soldiers. It enhanced the image of Narendra Modi in India and abroad that he is committed to combating this global pandemic. It elevated the image of India globally when Indians stood in groups to clap and clang utensils at the end of the day thanking all the medical fraternity and health workers, who have been working day in and out at hospitals and public places like airports.

Real leaders emerge during tough times, especially during the global crisis. Modi is a motivational leader. He is a leader at all times including war and peace, unlike Winston Churchill who was only a wartime hero.

Some of the developed nations found it challenging to counter it despite being equipped with advanced healthcare facilities. For a nation like India, it is more challenging with a lack of infrastructure and adequate healthcare facilities. However, we can still fight this disease with our will power and determination.

Since India has a youth population of more than 50 percent, there is less likely that this virus will attack us. Additionally, Indian climatic conditions are immune to this virus to some extent. There is a silver lining on the dark cloud of COVID-19 because China is gradually recovering from it. Therefore, nothing to panic but be cautious to counter it. Avoid spreading fake news on social media. Educate and enlighten people with authentic and inspiring information regularly. To summarize, let us not neglect it. Let us not be overconfident. Let us stand united to fight against COVID-19.

“India has a tremendous capacity to deal the coronavirus outbreak situation as it has experience of eradicating two pandemics, namely small-pox and polio.” —Michael J Ryan, The executive director of the World Health Organisation

India's Fight Against Coronavirus―Share if You Care!

“The fear of COVID-19 is worse than the real COVID-19” —Professor M.S. Rao

COVID-19 has connected people across the world into one global platform. I have not seen this kind of situation and challenge in my life so far. It is both a threat and an opportunity for humankind. It is a threat to humankind if we take it for granted and don’t follow the guidelines by the government. It is an opportunity if we take stock of the situation to prepare for the future to avert this kind of pandemic. One takeaway from this pandemic is to prepare a blueprint to tackle climate change before it becomes a threat to our mother earth.

Global leaders have come together to counter coronavirus aggressively. We must take massive action immediately. The first thing is to stay at home and follow social distancing. Don’t spread rumors. Don’t spread false information on social media platforms. Social media is a double-edged sword. It is both a boon and bane in the prevailing global scenario. It can motivate the people and bring them into one platform by advising them to take appropriate measures. At the same time, it can create panic by spreading false information. Hence, people must be cautious before writing something about COVID-19 on social media platforms.

Let us be optimistic that we will come out of this crisis with flying colors. Let us believe in ourselves and hope for the best. Let us all applaud health workers, doctors, nurses, police, paramilitary forces and all other people who are working for this cause without waiting for any applause to save citizens. Let us salute them. They are the real heroes and heroines at this hour of crisis!

We will surely come out of this challenge and set an example to the world that India is capable of handling any kind of crisis. In the past, India set an example to the world by eradicating two pandemics—small-pox and polio. India can break the back of Coronavirus easily if citizens cooperate with their commitment and courage. India is proud to have Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister who is a courageous and compassionate leader and takes bold decisions at this hour of crisis to save Indians. Jai Hind!
