First Editorial

Title: Three Message (At Leh, PM Modi had different messages for India, China, and the world community)

Context: With his visit to Nimu near

Leh, which houses the XIV Corps

headquarters including the base hospital,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi

accomplished several objectives. He

visited soldiers injured during the Galwan

clash of June 15, addressed troops involved

in the stand-off with China, and was briefed

directly by senior officers involved in

operational preparedness who are also

conducting military talks with China’s

People’s Liberation Army. In his speech to

soldiers at Nimu, he addressed different

audiences as well, with the biggest

message for the Chinese leadership, where

he said that the age of expansionism is

over. Calling this the “era of evolution” or

development (Vikasvaad), Mr. Modi said

that the “era of colonial expansion”

(Vistaarvaad) is over. He said that in the

past, expansionist forces have done great

harm to humanity, and had been “erased or

forced to relent”.

Despite the fact that he did not once name

China, the message appeared to have hit

home, with the Chinese Embassy in Delhi

issuing a denial that it had made any

expansionist moves. The Prime Minister

also addressed other countries that are

viewing the growing seriousness of the

two-month long stand-off with concern, as

he spoke about India’s tradition of peace

with bravery, indicating that diplomatic

options would be exhausted before any

action.

To his domestic audience, the address

signified the government’s determination

to face the challenge at the Line of Actual

Control and to focus on national priorities

of infrastructure and economic

development.

Finally, he addressed the soldiers

themselves, as he spoke of the valour of the

men who have been engaged in the clashes

along the LAC, including the Galwan



confrontation in which 20 Indian soldiers

were killed.

In all three aspects of the address, the

speech must be welcomed, and its

unspoken messages should also be studied

closely. While the Prime Minister’s

decision to visit troops near the LAC was

well-timed and apt.

Final Words:

It is to be hoped that the government, which has thus far not given the nation the full picture on what has happened, and what the nation needs to prepare for, will do so now, further clarifying the Prime Minister’s core message at Leh.

Second Editorial

Title: Surely, even if

slowly

(There is an urgent need for a vaccine

against COVID-19, but it cannot be

hastened into being)

Context: Yet again, the pandemic has

revealed cracks in the conduct of the

Indian Council of Medical Research

(ICMR). A letter by the agency’s head, Dr.

Balram Bhargava, to doctors last week,

preparing to test a vaccine for human

trials, appeared to be coercing them into

getting a vaccine ready by August 15.

However, there was no rationale extended

for why the date August 15 cropped up.

Given the crisis at hand, regulatory

agencies the world over have relaxed

rules on drug testing and vaccine trials.

While scientific rigour cannot be

compromised, there is a move, globally, to

allow more leeway to formulations that

show some promise, and allow them into

the market under medical guidance. This

is why drugs such as remdesivir and

favipiravir — despite limited evidence of

success — have made it to the bedside of

patients.



the first checkpoint is that the vaccine

candidate should not sicken a healthy

person. The second hurdle is that a

vaccine must stimulate the immune

system just enough to get it to produce

protective antibodies. In other words, it

must be efficacious and finally, only if all

were to go well, it must be tested in

several thousand people in real world

conditions. And they must be shown, over

time, to be better protected than those

who were unvaccinated. Each one of these

steps cannot in principle be rushed, and

each is necessary to ensure that the

vaccine can be released for public use.

The Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, the

makers of ‘Covaxin’, has experience and

credibility one of hundreds of potential

vaccines being tested and the consensus

of experts is that no vaccine can be

readied for use until next year.

Final Words:

The pandemic has brought into focus the

unavoidable role of uncertainty. New

aspects of the disease are being brought to

light, sometimes every day. The best

strategy, in the midst of such flux, is to

maintain absolute transparency, and

proceed surely, even if slowly.
