You make a good case, but you do have to admit that Narendra Modi is also a solid contender for shittiest handling of COVID. Just letting the Kumbh Mela go ahead this year earns him a spot near the top.

Mass BLM rallies were allowed to go forward because the political price for banning them and enforcing the ban through use of force would have been too high. Even though it was already known that going to rallies is a risky behavior. Fortunately for the U.S. at that moment, no extra infectious variant was in circulation. AFAIK India has a nasty variant that makes things worse.
