In a compelling literary endeavor, author Vishnu Mithinti presents a thought-provoking book titled COVID 19 AND HUMANITY – A RETRO – INTROSPECTION — a powerful narrative that explores the dual realities of the COVID-19 pandemic and the deeper fabric of human values.
This book is divided into two insightful parts.
Part I: A Retrospection looks back at the global chaos caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Millions lost their lives, but the virus wasn’t the only threat—fear, isolation, and distrust among humans became the more terrifying contagion. The author revisits this dark chapter of human history with empathy and detail, urging readers never to forget how society responded to fear, death, and uncertainty.
Part II: An Introspection dives into a more philosophical realm, where Mithinti examines the enduring follies and the unmet needs of humanity. At the heart of this introspection lies the age-old Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”—the world is one family. Vishnu Mithinti calls for this ideal to become the moral backbone of global governance, particularly within the framework of the United Nations.
Referencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2014 UN speech and his action of supplying over a billion COVID-19 vaccines to countries in need, the book makes a compelling case for global solidarity, compassion, and collective redemption.
COVID 19 AND HUMANITY – A RETRO – INTROSPECTION is more than a book—it is a mirror and a map. A mirror to reflect upon our collective past, and a map to guide humanity toward a more united and empathetic future.
This timely release is a must-read for thinkers, policymakers, and global citizens who believe in the potential of a united humanity.
