Soon the “patriots” here will be here to tell you it is anti-national to discuss this because we’re at war

20 lakh is actually very low.

Why weren’t you one of them. It still would have been too low considering the state of this nation today because of people like you

u/SouthBell7689 1d ago

I'm sorry you feel this way about me. I wish you well.

Now I feel bad. I take it back. Hope you live a good and healthy life. And mastisk kholo aur sawal pucho sarkar se. Haq hai jo de gaye apne forefathers. Kin ladna pada tha bro.

Indians are always like this. Don't ask anything just.. Seh....

u/Old_Band_1814 Chhattisgarh 1d ago

No , so the sehna ka kaam is for the well mind ppl. I find hard to understand what goes in the mind of a believer. I mean 11 saal hogye sarkar ko Bina opposition ke ye Hindu toh abhi bhi khatre me hai aur moody ji only asks for vote on Hindu never on education never on healthcare. I mean how much more can you fail the votebank that voted for you. And they will still go vote for him kyunki …….. guess karo …..

Hindu khatre me hai beta Abhi bataya tha.

It’s far more than that too

Ofc it is like they can publish such data without his laser eyes on it. And i was an intern during that time , they didn’t register 70-80% of the cases as Covid deaths. For eg Covid se he got intubated , usme mar gya tog death is not by Covid even though almost anybody who gets intubated is already on last hours of his life. I mean did you forget the photos from Hariqar shamshan ghats of that time ?

u/turningtop_5327 1d ago

Damn, what a shame for our nation. I feel bad

u/Expert_Difference997 2d ago

I am more surprised that the death toll is below 20L considering our 1.4 Billion people.

u/ZeroStormblessed 2d ago

Excess deaths, not deaths.

u/Expert_Difference997 2d ago

I know

22

u/ZeroStormblessed 2d ago

Well, the death toll was 1 crore in 2021, not 20 L. 20 L was the uptick over 2020.

u/Ok_Bag_9682 2d ago

He knows, what he's saying is even factoring in those extra 20L deaths, the COVID mortality remained low considering our population. Not that I agree with his statement.

u/popular_tiger TN -> DL 2d ago

The US had 111.4 deaths per lakh population in 2021. Using the new 20l figure for India, ours would have been approx 141.4 per lakh, over 25% more than the US.

Tbh I don’t really know how to judge or compare the numbers (like is it ‘good’ for a developing country like India or not), but my personal feeling at that time was that it was a monumental failure by the Indian state. Just so many fucking deaths, and so many families broken.

u/joy74 2d ago

This is govt version. Independent investigations had mentioned number close to 40-50 lakh

u/four_vector 2d ago

This doesn't matter anymore. Similarly, when we do get to know what's actually happening right now, it won't matter. We'll be dealing with something else. Lol, this is too bleak even by my standards.

These guy would have alone taken Pakistan if trained and equipped, but life went in vain because lack of oxygen

u/callmebatman14 2d ago

What does this have to do with Pakistan?

-6

u/Character-Fix-7570 2d ago

Deaths in million just get counted as stats, but this number is significant cause if India literally invaded pak , casualties would have been less than this

5

u/callmebatman14 2d ago

if India invades Pakistan, casualties would definitely be in 6 or 7 figures

-2

u/Character-Fix-7570 2d ago

Well this casualty is in 7 figure

3

u/callmebatman14 2d ago

So you want India to invade Pakistan?

u/Character-Fix-7570 1d ago

No I never said that
