In other side, India is the second populated country in the world with less facilities in 2021 population rate 0.97% increase from 2020 so the current population of India in 2021 is 1,393,409,038.

Additional 230 Million Indians Fell Below Poverty Line Due to the Pandemic:
The pandemic struck India when it recorded its lowest economic growth in over a decade. The slowing economy had disproportionately impacted the rural areas, where the country’s majority of consumers and poor reside.

Pew Research Center, using World Bank data, has estimated that the number of poor in India (with income of $2 per day or less in purchasing power parity) has more than doubled from 60 million to 134 million in just a year due to the pandemic-induced recession. This means, India is back in a situation to be called a “country of mass poverty” after 45 years.

In the recent years, India emerged as the country with the highest rate of poverty reduction. In 2019, the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index reported that India lifted 271 million citizens out of poverty between 2006 and 2016. Contrast this with the situation in 2020: the highest global poverty increase happened in India.

India has not counted its poor since 2011. But the United Nations estimated the number of poor in the country to be 364 million in 2019, or 28 per cent of the population. All the estimated new poor due to the pandemic is in addition to this.

The study OF Azim Premji University has touched upon several aspects pertaining to the state of the Indian economy
New Delhi: At a time when the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is ravaging India, a report prepared by the Centre for Sustainable Employment at Azim Premji University (APU) has highlighted how employment and income had not recovered to pre-pandemic levels even in late 2020 and the latest surge in cases would only add to the devastation and distress.

The report, titled “State of Working India 2021 – One year of Covid-19”, was released on Wednesday, May 5. It highlights how women lost more employment than men during the pandemic last year, how nearly half of formal salaried workers moved into informal work and how poorer households experienced far higher losses in income during the lockdown period.

Basole said, with little or no social protection available via employers and the safety net mostly rooted in domicile, the poorest were hit the hardest. These included the self-employed and casual workers, who constitute 45% of total urban employment.

The report revealed that “employment and income have not recovered to pre-pandemic levels even in late 2020.” It said both the ‘workforce participation rate’ and ‘average monthly income per capita’ remained below pre-Covid levels.

The second wave is going to make things worse,” said Basole, adding that as of October-November 2020 nearly 20% of informal workers were still out of work.

The report also noted that there was a strong regional element to the crisis. Basole said Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala and Tamil Nadu had more than a proportionate loss of jobs.

HEALTH 2021
According to the IHME, This document contains summary information on the latest projections from the IHME model on COVID-19 in India. The model was run on May 5, 2021, with case and death data through May 2, 2021, and covariate data through May 3, 2021.

COVID-19 was the leading cause of death in India last week by a big margin, responsible for 2.5 times more deaths than the second-leading cause. India currently has the highest number of daily COVID-19 cases and deaths of any country in the world. After the declining trend in the number of daily COVID-19 cases and deaths in India from September 2020 to mid-February 2021, there has been a sharp reversal of this trend with a dramatic rise in April and early May. Last week, the daily COVID-19 cases were about four times and the daily COVID-19 deaths three times the numbers in the previous peak in September 2020. The daily cases increased by 16% and the daily deaths by 40% last week in India compared with the week before. Without drastic measures to bolster the health system to deal with this onslaught, decrease social mixing, and increase effective face mask use, the situation currently looks quite grim for India. IHME’s reference scenario forecasts 1,496,000 COVID19 deaths in India by September 1, 2021.

 

ISSUES WITH NAGALAND
The State of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on December 1st, 1963, as the 16th State of the Indian Union. It is bounded by Assam in the West, Myanmar (Burma) on the east, Arunachal Pradesh and part of Assam on the North and Manipur in the South. The Naga insurgency, climaxing in 1956, was an armed ethnic conflict led by the Naga National Council (NNC) which aimed for the secession of Naga territories from India. The more radical sectors of NNC created the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) which also included an underground Naga Army.

In the words of historian Benjamin Zachariah, ″It was in the north-east of India that the Nehruvian vision took on its most brutal and violent forms.″ The actions of mass murder and rape by the Indian defense forces could not endear to the Nagas a sense of belonging with the Indian nation. The Indian government coerced the dissenters into accepting their power with the application of Kautilya's advice to use internal force. Gandhian advice to engage with the aim of reaching a common ground through negotiations was also utilized. The Indian Government conceded a separate Naga state within the Indian Union in 1960 and the state was inaugurated in 1963.

The flag and national anthem of Nagaland are different form India Nagaland citizens always want freedom from India.

India issues with Assam
The conflict started in the 1970s following tension between the native indigenous Assamese people and the Indian government over alleged neglect, domination, subjugation, political, social, cultural, economic exploitation and internal colonization through its federal center in Delhi.

In 2012, More than 300,000 refugees are in relief camps in India's north-eastern Assam state after recent clashes between indigenous tribals and Muslim settlers. And migrants from the north-east have fled other Indian cities fearing reprisal attacks. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports from Assam, where the unrest began.

''In 2020, A Year After Rendering Millions Stateless, India Has Yet to Hear a Single Appeal New Delhi has continued to milk the issue of citizenship for political gain, leaving 1.9 million people stateless and virtually unable to prove otherwise.''

Khalistan movement:
The Khalistan movement is a Sikh separatist movement seeking to create a homeland for Sikhs by establishing a sovereign state, called Khālistān ('Land of the Khalsa'), in the Punjab region. The proposed state would consist of land that currently forms Punjab, India and Punjab, Pakistan.

Ever since the separatist movement gathered force in the 1980s, the territorial ambitions of Khalistan have at times included Chandigarh, sections of the Indian Punjab, including the whole of North India, and some parts of the western states of India.

The call for a separate Sikh state began in the wake of the fall of the British Empire. In 1940, the first explicit call for Khalistan was made in a pamphlet titled "Khalistan" With financial and political support of the Sikh diaspora, the movement flourished in the Indian state of Punjab which has a Sikh-majority population – continuing through the 1970s and 1980s, and reaching its zenith in the late 1980s. In the 1990s, the insurgency petered out, and the movement failed to reach its objective due to multiple reasons including a heavy police crackdown on separatists, factional infighting, and disillusionment from the Sikh population.

There is some support within India and the Sikh diaspora, with yearly demonstrations in protest of those killed during Operation Blue Star. In early 2018, some militant groups were arrested by police in Punjab, India.

1984 anti-Sikh riots
The 1984 Sikh Genocide, also known as the 1984 Sikh Massacre, was a series of organized pogroms against Sikhs in India following the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. The ruling Indian National Congress had been in active complicity with the mob, as to the organization of the riots. Government estimates project that about 2,800 Sikhs were killed in Delhi and 3,350 nationwide, whilst independent sources estimate the number of deaths at about 8,000–17,000.

The assassination of Indira Gandhi was in retaliation to her order to the Indian Army to attack the Harmandir Sahib complex in Amritsar, Punjab, in June 1984. The attack had resulted in a deadly battle with armed Sikh groups who were demanding greater rights and autonomy for Punjab. Sikhs worldwide had criticized the army action and many saw it as an assault on their religion and identity.

In the aftermath of the pogroms, the government reported that 20,000 had fled the city; the People's Union for Civil Liberties reported "at least" 1,000 displaced persons. The most-affected regions were the Sikh neighborhoods of Delhi. Human rights organizations and newspapers across India believed that the massacre was organized. The collusion of political officials in the violence and judicial failure to penalize the perpetrators alienated Sikhs and increased support for the Khalistan movement. The Akal Takht, Sikhism's governing body, considers the killings genocide.

In 2011, Human Rights Watch reported that the Government of India had "yet to prosecute those responsible for the mass killings". According to the 2011 WikiLeaks cable leaks, the United States was convinced of Indian National Congress' complicity in the riots and called it "opportunism" and "hatred" by the Congress government, of Sikhs. Although the U.S. has not identified the riots as genocide, it acknowledged that "grave human rights violations" occurred. In 2011, a new group of mass graves was discovered in Haryana and Human Rights Watch reported that "widespread anti-Sikh attacks in Haryana were part of broader revenge attacks" in India. The Central Bureau of Investigation, the main Indian investigative agency, believes that the violence was organized with support from the Delhi police and some central-government officials.
