The biggest war

I remember my dad telling me stories of 1961 . China had attacked our northern border . The nation was in shock . The then prime minister Pundit Nehru announced the aggression on AIR and urged the nation to stand together against it. And the nation united as never before . our forces were ill equipped to combat such an aggression . people came forward with donations of whichever kind they could afford. The nation was one .. across party lines .. across cast creed religion and else. 

Today we are facing another war . A different kind of war. A potent virus called covid-19 is the aggressor. and it knows no boundaries . As I type this, the country has "self imposed" a curfew called "janata curfew" . A desperate effort to keep the aggressor in check. As far as i can see out my window, the nation has united once more . We may have to take more such desperate measures to win this war. And as Winston Churchill once said, This  might well be our finest hour .
