Ab inhein dawa ki nahin, dua ki zaroorat hai.
This is one of the concepts Indians have internalised, thanks to Bollywood – that when medicine doesn’t work, praying does.

In a video that has emerged from Rajasthan, a group of women can be heard singing Corona Bhag Ja Bharat Tharo Kain Kam Re.

That’s another very Indian thing. Ki hamare ghar mein na ho, baaki we don’t care.
Earlier, there were reports of people putting masks on idols in Varanasi, lest the Gods catch the virus.
