Book review: India’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic
The Indian government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has drawn polarising reactions, mostly set within a restrictive ‘success-failure’ metric. In this post, Oommen C Kurian reviews the book Till We Win: India’s Fight Against The Covid-19 Pandemic by Chandrakant Lahariya, Gagandeep Kang and Randeep Guleria – commending the authors for their balanced, nuanced approach to assessing India’s Covid-19 response. In his view, the book also serves as an accessible information source for general readers on viruses, health systems and policies more broadly.
