India is in crisis. Its economy has crashed, with
the largest slump on recorddecimating
millions of jobs. Its already fragile
healthcare system is struggling. With more than five million cases, India ranks only behind the United States for confirmed infections. But whereas other populist leaders are feeling the political heat from their handling of the pandemic -- US President
Donald Trump and his British counterpart
Boris Johnson, for instance -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has largely escaped the scathing headlines and crushing opinion polls that have beleaguered his counterparts.
