It all started with fear.. Fear that hinduism will perish. Fear that outsiders will take away our jobs and locals will be jobless. Fear that those who enjoyed supremacy will lose it. Fear that those who had control over others will lose it.. Fear that others will control us, fear that our Gods are being tortured by those who place constitution over temple laws, fear that we will be stripped off our rights to preach and follow a religion of our choice. Fear was marketed and it sold well,not only in India, but across the world. Now we have reasons good enough to be scared of..The psychological impact of the fear of Covid.

India of 2021 - Peri Maheshwer
Where Coronil is approved in a week
And Pfizer is kept waiting for months
Where center exports vaccines
And States import the same vaccine
Where make shift crematoriums are opened
And existent vaccination centers getting closed.
Where beef in a tiffin box can cause riots;
And human carcasses on holy river is treated normal
Where politicians speak caste and religion
And baba's speak politics and governance
Where people die for want of oxygen
And governments make money on oxygen concentrators
Where people are arrested for criticising the PM
And rewarded for provoking communal strife
Where testing and transparency is punished
And lesser testing and hiding death rewarded
Where we are the pharmacy of the world
And 150 countries are sending their pharmacies.
Where India owns the IPR for Covaxin
But holds its rights against its own people
Where at WTO, we seek patent rights waiver
And argue against a waiver in Supreme Court
Where messages were mostly Happy birthday
And now wake up to messages of RIP
Where thousands die for want of health care
And we want to spread 'positivity' from death
Where we wish to start the day with a Jai Shri Ram
And are increasingly saying Ram Naam Satya Hai
- Peri Maheshwer
