In the midst of an out-of-control #Coronavirus epidemic, 3 million+ cases, ~70k new cases and ~1000 deaths each day why would the Prime Minister of #India put out a video of his walking about his gardens with a #peacock strutting around him?
It's insensitive sending out a message, "I don't care." It's not the same carefully scripted media management as washing the feet of #safawallas (sanitation workers) in a gesture of humility that we saw pre-election. Yet it will do nothing to dent his popularity with his fans.
But why do it at all? why invite critical comments on social media - seeing in the peacocks' bright plumage preventing him from soaring in flight, a metaphor for #ModiJi's obsession with presentation grounding India's economy. Why cock a snook at millions of poor and jobless? Image
