Lessons in resilience in the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
in India. Focusing on the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in
India between April and December 2021, Rustom Bharucha's timely
essay reflects on four interconnected realities that haunted this
ongoing crisis-death, grief, mourning, and extinction. How do we
cope with multiple deaths and the dislocation of rituals when the
act of mourning is either postponed or denied? What roles do
political surveillance, censorship, the regulation of lockdowns,
and the sheer indifference to the lives of people play in the
containment of civil liberties? Through vivid examples of
photography, theater, dance, visual arts, and the cultures of
everyday life, this meditative essay illuminates both the horror of
the pandemic as well as its unexpected intimacies and revelations
of shared suffering. Against the destruction of nature and the
disrespect for the nonhuman, The Second Wave offers lessons in
resilience through its reflections on the ethos of waiting and the
need to re-envision breath as a vital resource of self-renewal and
resistance.
