9 years of disaster. There are so many instances, that it would be tough to pick just 9.
Here's my list.
1. #Demonetisation. That one stroke of stupidity that literally broke the nation's back.

Still remains a mystery, how a vehicle loaded with explosives could move around, undetected, in J&k, one of the most militarised regions in the world. What was more shameful than this was how BJP used this tragedy for electoral gains.

Art. 370 was abrogated. J&K stopped being a state. Was carved out into 2 UTs. With the objectives of bringing peace & development to the region. Result? We've ended with 2 UTs with seething discontent below the surface.

About a year ago we had the 1st #covidlockdown in Germany
I'm the stay-home homeschooling dad - my wife is a medical doctor
But I could work @ night which I do often anyway
I did measure the night sky brightness and found it had decreased compared to before lockdown (1/12)

I did measure the night sky brightness and found it had decreased compared to before lockdown (1/12)
so in March 2017 it was less bright than in 2020 (see figure for zenith brightness)
this is surprising because we would expect light emission and #lightpollution to increase like shown in the paper we co-authored with @skyglowberlin and others

using night-time light satellite time series data (VIIRS DNB) we saw an increase in most major towns along the route we measured
you can check such data with @skyglowberlin tool:

this was what we eexpected (3/12)

A new study has suggested that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the mental health of young people, and increased levels of clinical depression were identified among them. The study was published in the journal named 'Psychiatry Research'.
The researchers from the University of Surrey surveyed 259 young people pre-pandemic in autumn 2019 and in the middle of initial lockdown measures in May or June 2020, on their levels of depression, anxiety, wellbeing, alcohol use, and sleep quality.
After conducting the survey, the researchers found out that there was a substantial impact on the mental health of these young adults due to the pandemic.
The fortunes of India’s 100 #billionaires increased by ~Rs 13 lakh crore ($17.8 bn) between March 18 and December 31, 2020, enough to give 138 million of the poorest Indians Rs 94,045 each, says a recently released @OxfamIndia report #inequality
oxfamindia.org/press-release/…
oxfamindia.org/press-release/…
The wealth of Indian #billionaires was at $422.9 billion in July 2020, which increased by 35% between April and July 2020, during the #COVIDLockdown #inequality

What should government do about the food crisis?
Give more money to the poor.
Using the Child Support Grant database: this will reach 65% of people who depend on informal jobs, whereas the Old Age Pension only reaches 25%.
#TopUpTheCSG by R500.
Cost: R6.2 billion a month

@ihsaanbassier provided that graph. Thanks, Ihsaan! Also read his & others' compelling argument that #TopUpTheCSG is the best response to the food crisis during the #CovidLockdown:

Increasing the Child Support Grant by R500 per month for 6 months is the quickest, easiest and safest way to transfer R40bn to poor households, who can use the cash to buy food and other essentials. Cash transfers also help to stimulate local economies and the informal sector.
Listen in: why #COVID is a food crisis.
