Shameful neglect of the unprivileged
One of the greatest tragedies of modern times. A lockdown is declared without notice, with no thought for the millions of people who survive on daily wages. How can our politicians who profess to be from humble backgrounds, forget their origins so quickly? No lessons learnt from the tragedy, just more hunger for more power.

Excellent read, a text book of history.
Excellent collection of essays and stories of one of the greatest human tragedies of all time. A riveting read, unputdownable. As usual poor reviews will be given by trolls employed by their masters who want to cover up a disaster handmade by the BJP govt.

A hard-hitting honest book!
a beautiful compilation of some of the best write ups by renowned authors, as a person who has been closely witnessing the struggles of the marginalised communities due to an unplanned lockdown this book hits close to home.

Amalgamation of the usual discontents
Extremely boring and thoughtless collection of works. Utter waste of time. Avoid buying this book and if you want to donate to charity, do so direclty.
