From Democracy to Dystopia: Highlighting the Covid Pandemic in India

Author(s) Nathan Roshan Thomas
Country India
Abstract With the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, the inadequacies of several governments lay forth in front of our very own eyes. This annotation outlines the evolution of the slow, yet steady demise of democracy and how the advent of a global pandemic might as well be the last nail in the coffin of an age-old system. The composition also highlights the failures and shortcomings of several large democracies around the world during the pandemic, with special reference to India and how the current government failed to establish proper healthcare facilities which in turn created pandemonium, wreaked havoc and left behind a lasting impression in the hearts and minds of the citizens. Special references have been provided to delineate how the pandemic has created a further rift between the rich and the poor. Thus, rendering the connotation ‘equalizer’ null and void. The paper will try to highlight how the measures taken by the Indian Government in the garb of dealing with the pandemic walked the dubious path of turning the largest democracy into a dystopia. The method will be qualitative, especially focusing on discourse analysis.
Keywords Democracy, Dystopia, Government, Pandemic, rich, poor, ‘equalizer’.
