A bit odd topic but the commas seem strange in the numbers there: >Total Vaccination Doses: 1,00,13,38,625 Is that an Indian thing?
Yes.
100 - Hundred 1,000 - Thousand 1,00,000 - Lakh 1,00,00,000 - Crore
We don't use millions here.

#13Modi govt gets a lot of hate in India but we should also give credit where it is due, like for this.
An indecisive leader or one heading a coalition govt probably couldn't have done it like this.

Modi's photo is the largest thing on that page, and on every vaccine card. Lack of credit is never his problem.

This gov literally needed the former Prime Minsters letter to start acting even when the mess was as clear as day for everyone else. The gov was too lost in their lust for even more power. Making things way worse than they needed to be. To get to that "decisiveness" we needed fires burning constantly in Delhi, the Ganges flooding with bodies. Plus foreign media covering how big a mess it was.
A coalition gov would have been faster to act just because they have to take care of the people or face a major backlash. We paid a heavy price for this "decisive" leader!
I am not going into how the supporters of the gov behaved with people who lost family...all because they wanted to protect the image of the government!

I have always found that amusing. What a god complex that guy has. But hey if it works it works.

Keeping the voters alive and dealing with a public health emergency is a basic job of the government. I am not going to praise a leader for doing their job. I would have praised if they did exceptionally well, and rapidly set up a way to manufacture vaccines in a war-time urgency and made the vaccines available much earlier than they did.
I have family in India, and they have no hesitation to get the vaccines. It just wasn't available for very long. India insisted on a seaparate Indian trial from Pfizer which almost eliminated access to those for Indians. Only to embarrassingly withdraw such requirement and allow them back as cases spiked.
