Locked down in my daughter’s home in Mumbai, I get to know what people are thinking and talking about when I speak to them on the telephone or by e-mail. And what they say is not pleasing to an old man’s ears! My friends, both Hindu and Muslim, admit that no one’s God has been able to protect his (or her) flock from the jaws of the coronavirus. But, they say, that worse than the corona is the communal virus that the Hindutva forces have injected into the body politic, rejecting a God-sent opportunity to get all communities on one common platform. To fight the corona and conquer it, Modiji appealed to all Indians to unite. His own friends are using the corona to divide!
