Abstract

Abstract India and the rest of the world continue to witness waves of COVID -19. In this article, I present myriad examples of ethical issues in the context of pandemics that hit India in the last few centuries. I also analyze the relevance of Indian texts and films in the context of various pandemics. The article quotes several primary and secondary texts to explore interpreting and responding to different pandemics and broader health issues. As the world reels under the COVID mayhem, it is time to take inspiration from various other medical professionals at the forefront of fighting this pandemic. We urgently need their compassion and not any recurrence of colonialism or racism that rears its head even today. Our collective responses to COVID -19 can prompt us to collectively mitigate and adapt to various climate changes across the planet by combining the ideas and imaginations from the “East” and “West.”
解读和回应印度哲学传统和电影中的流行病
印度和世界其他地区继续见证COVID -19的浪潮。在这篇文章中,我列举了在过去几个世纪袭击印度的流行病背景下的无数伦理问题的例子。我还分析了印度文本和电影在各种流行病背景下的相关性。文章引用了一些主要和次要文本,探讨了对不同流行病和更广泛的卫生问题的解释和应对。在世界陷入COVID混乱之际,是时候从站在抗击这一流行病前沿的其他医疗专业人员那里汲取灵感了。我们迫切需要他们的同情,而不是任何殖民主义或种族主义的重现,即使在今天也抬头了。我们对COVID -19的集体应对可以促使我们通过结合“东方”和“西方”的想法和想象力,共同减缓和适应地球上的各种气候变化。
