A recent NBER research paper by three Indian-origin authors debunks NaMO Govt's claims of success in handling the pandemic. It shows how the Case Fatality Rate in India, when adjusted for age, in unconscionably high.
Recall that Covid was always supposed to be a disease in which fatalities among the elderly was higher. Given that India is a relatively "young" country, the expectation (statistically speaking) is that overall fatalities would be lower because of the relatively young population.
The study reveals that when adjusted for age distribution in the population, the CFR in India is far higher. It also attempts to examine CFR in terms of the viral disease's lagged effect, considering the incubation period.
The study demonstrates that "India’s CFR is, if anything, too high rather than too low." It shows that far more young people have succumbed to Covid in India than is warranted by their proportion in the population. NaMo's "success" in "containing" Covid is thus proved a hoax.
