 Social and psychological impact of COVID-19 pandemic
Are we moving  towards a permanent social and emotional disintegration?

The Indian society, which built a deep social- emotional bond through the process of 'meeting and feeding', 'eating and feeding', 'giving and taking', is a clear indication of the rift in that great system.
Today India is unsuccessfully trying to find the same warmth in virtual video conferencing. But in the virtual world, the cracks in deep emotional bonds are clearly visible. Physical distancing is powerful enough to create cracks in your social bond alone.

This epidemic has damaged the roots of our glorious, traditional collectivness  and sociability. Its marks are long-term or permanent living. World famous Indian marriages are taking place in a closed room in front of closest  relatives. Birthday celebrations have  been confined to social media. People are unable to attend the funeral of their closest relatives. We are not able to give due respect to the departed souls. There is an inability to complete the remaining rituals after death.
In future, we will meet or congratulate on the phone. Are we going towards a permanent social disturbance? Governments can meet food, health and other basic needs, but how will our social and emotional needs be met?

Covid -19 pandemic has shown us that defense is the best option, and nature is omnipotent. Violation of the laws of nature in the guise of materialism is extremely dangerous.
