A heart-rending narrative of Mr and Mrs Chatterjee and their daughter Supriya and Sujata.
In normal circumstances their experiences would have added to the terrible statistics of the suffering and the dying in Covid shattered India, but the Washington Post pulls them apart, away from the numbers and makes it a story of courage, of love and finally of grief. This is a middle class, one may say even affluent family and yet the telling saddens us. Keep a thought for the poor and marginalized who suffer like they did but without even the crutches of knowing they were able to help. All our parents one day die and in our time we follow too, but no one should die because others failed them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2021/india-covid-family/?tid=a_classic-iphone&no_nav=true Roland.
