Simply the way the banging of thaalis didn't avoid Covid-19 on March 22, the lighting of candles won't kill the infection on Sunday.
As India proceeds with its long walk through a 21-day national lockdown, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a video message for all residents. Much like the declaration of Janata Curfew was joined by Modi's solicitation that individuals clank utensils, applaud, and by and large make some clamor in energy about the forefront laborers, this current morning's video message likewise had a going with task: On April 5, the PM has mentioned all Indians to switch their lights at 9 pm and light only one little flame for nine minutes, as a demonstration of solidarity.
Whatever PM Modi's goals were for this countrywide candlelit vigil, the support for the solicitation was before long twisted into pseudo-science similarly that the "thaali bajao, taali bajao" battle was. Where as in the last case we had #covidiots guaranteeing that sound would kill the coronavirus, this present Sunday's candlelight vigil has additionally brought forth some peculiar hypotheses.
The first, which came fast behind Modi's location and was initially presented on the MyGovIndia checked handle, saw Dr KK Agarwal, an ex-leader of the Indian Medical Association, summon the yoga-based standard of the intensity of aggregate awareness, in that if each of the 130 crore Indians will our bodies to dismiss the infection, it will have no control over us. This was such a jump of rationale, that it was erased by the administrative Twitter handle minutes after the fact, yet the web always remembers.
The following legitimization for the flame lighting action originated from the field of soothsaying, which sincerely ought to have cautioned us about this entire coronavirus business prior through our horoscopes.
Obviously, not to be abandoned, numerology needed to get in on the enjoyment soothsaying was having. A Twitter client whose bio reports his energy for numerology had this to share.
Obviously, this was then reverberated by similarly invested devotees, who accepted that with the intensity of number 9, "Modi ji was initiating vitality of the planet".
Obviously, there were the individuals who rushed to get out this spread of phony news. Shashi Tharoor wrote in a tweet that PM "is summoning all the promising components Hinduism partners with number 9. Back to Ram Bharose?!"
It is out of line to ascribe this pseudo-science to PM Modi himself, yet that doesn't pardon those adherents who attempt and transform each progression he takes into a "masterstroke". In all reality, the candlelight vigil is presumably a stage taken to inspire resolve, and it's not likely that the PM figures it will free us of the coronavirus. It's more probable an endeavor to make a feeling of solidarity starting from the top, despite the fact that such shows are increasingly significant when they are composed from the base upward, as found in Italy.
Whatever the case might be, it's currently certain that April 5 is an otherworldly successor to the March 22 occasion. We can dare to dream that individuals taking an interest don't commit a similar error of taking to the streets and treating it like Diwali is here.

Twitter had a field day, first with the "diya jalao" activity and afterward with all these pseudo-science speculations coasting around.No 9. 9 am speech. 9 minutes at 9pm on April 5 (5+4=9). 9 days lockdown over. 9 days left from April 5th. 9 Planets. No 9 = Mars (Mangal - the planet of Light & Fire). Modi ji igniting the planet of light & fire for Welfare of India. Simply Outstanding!!! @narendramodi— Priya Gupta (@priyagupta999) April 3, 2020
