Completely agree. India has handled this really responsibly and well, for the most part.
Pro
In India less than 1% of the population does overseas travel.
Almost everyone living in United States will have a family or extended family overseas and international travel is pretty normal here. So it’s apples to oranges comparison, which is not right.
Trump did a terrible job of handling the pandemic, initially he ruled it out as a hoax and it was too late by the time he acted.
In my opinion, Biden’s administration has already started implementing travel restrictions from affected countries and wearing mask a federal mandate. Let’s hope vaccine is available at the earliest for the general population and we all sail this pandemic safe.

1% of Indian population = 12M people though
Yes agreed. Overall the statistics also tend to show the same. Significantly better PCT and CFR rates compared to the western world.

Agreed. My mum and sis caught the virus and the treatment they got was great. Govt was informed and equally involved in their recovery.
The US and UK are the wrong benchmarks for comparison - central leadership in both these countries have been utterly irresponsible and callous in their handling of the situation. With the new US administration things should start to look much better by March. A comparison with other asian countries might be a better one - Korea, Japan etc.
Uncle Joe is already distancing. U turn after taking over.
When I flew back from India to us a couple weeks back there were no checks at all on entry - no details collected for contact tracing. India entry checks were smooth - officials were warm and made the checks easy. Very well organized
I agree to the most part of it. The Covid results verification process at the Delhi Airport was a bit redundant and chaotic, at least on the day I arrived. I felt like same results were checked by more than 5 different officers after I landed the flight. There’s a room for improvement. 🙏
If you upload prior to visit you get pre-approved notice then its straight forward. If not then yes
There are multiple checks → for Gurgaon 3 officers checked - one checked details second for computer entry third to take pics to send to local tehsil. Agree this can definitely be streamlined but it wasn’t a hassle. I was done in 5-7 min
