Overview
Author Arundhati Roy comments on the impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic, transiting between the global, the United States and 'her' India, pointing out the event as a process that had been announced and unfolding for years. With a breathtaking prose, the lines of her article are punctuated by the many violences experienced by her countrymen and countrywomen, beyond the virus, disease and death, pointing out the need to imagine another World, without baggage of hatred, avarice, prejudice, without landscapes made of dead rivers and skies of smoke.
