What's your perspective on the India's future?

what more could have been done according to you? keeping in mind population density. Also compared to other countries as well

Instead of declaring an emergency-style lockdown, why not prioritize public education through accessible channels like TV, newspapers, and anganwadis?
Why wasn’t there early consideration for the millions of migrant workers who were forced to travel long distances under desperate conditions?
Why was there no clear long-term strategy from the start?
Why didn't the response begin with strengthening the basics—such as increasing ICU beds, setting up oxygen plants, or ensuring sufficient PPE kits?
Why were political election campaigns allowed to continue, even as the threat of a second COVID wave loomed?
Why was there a premature declaration of victory over COVID, leading to complacency?
Why weren’t vaccines procured proactively? And despite a low domestic inventory, why were vaccines and PPE kits sent abroad?
While seemingly trivial things—like home delivery of alcohol—were swiftly implemented, basic and vital measures like public health education were neglected.

Using population as a blanket excuse is not acceptable. If that's the justification, it could be used to rationalize our failures in every domain—be it food scarcity, inflation, healthcare, education, governance, corruption, or law and order.

Yes, compare with other countries with similar weather and genetics. In 2020, India's cases per capita and deaths per capita were thrice that of Pakistan and Bangladesh, four times that of Nepal.
In 2021, after kumbh mela, it was 50 times that of Pakistan and Bangladesh. 5000 percent. This time Nepal was also bad because they too participated in the kumbh. So India not only screwed itself up but Nepal too.
