India story is not over yet: Fast global aid indicates world wants New Delhi's resurgence

Firstpost  

At the India-EU summit in early May, French president Emmanuel Macron declared, “India does not need to listen to lectures from anyone about vaccine supplies. It may be difficult to comprehend at this moment of distress, but if not for India’s earnest global engagement over the past few years—and, its proactive assistance to many nations during the first wave of COVID-19—it would not have been possible to swiftly mobilise such remarkable amounts of global resources for India’s battle with the pandemic. If not for India’s earnest global engagement over the past few years—and, its proactive assistance to many nations during the first wave of COVID-19—it would not have been possible to swiftly mobilise such remarkable amounts of global resources for India’s battle with the pandemic. US president Joe Biden pledged his country’s steadfast support by saying, “Just as India sent assistance to the United States as our hospitals were strained early in the pandemic, we are determined to help India in its time of need.” The US Congress and the American corporate sector are ensuring rapid scaling up of support. As Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission stated early on, “A global pandemic requires a world effort to end it—none of us will be safe until everyone is safe.” Out of India’s shipment of 66.3 million vaccine doses, 10.7 million were sent as grants to developing- and low- income countries and 19.8 million doses were dispatched as part of the UN-led COVAX initiative to bridge the vaccine divide, where rich countries like Canada and the UK have enough doses to vaccinate their entire population nine and six times over respectively, while countries like Chad and Tanzania have no vaccines at all.
