I enjoyed reading this article, thank you very much for your work. I've also done some minor copyediting. It's long enough, new enough, sourcing is OK and I have no concerns about copyright. QPQ done. Hook is acceptably interesting, but I think including a translation of the poem's name would make it much more interesting. My main concern here is regarding NPOV. Regardless of my personal opinion or the published literature, I'm not really comfortable characterising the Indian government's response as "mishandling" in Wikivoice, it's just too subjective. This concerns both the article and the hook. I suggest a wording along the lines of "to criticise the handling of the pandemic" instead. --GGT (talk) 14:26, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- I understand your point. I will change accordingly and ping. -Nizil (talk) 15:46, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

- We should write "[the poem] criticises Indian government's handling of COVID-19 pandemic" instead of "[the poem] was written to criticise...". While writing this article, I passed through all the sources available. The sources suggest that "the poem criticise Indian government" but "it was not written to criticise Indian government". --Gazal world (talk) 09:55, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done. Minor changes in ALTs.-Nizil (talk) 08:52, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your work. I didn't get the ping, hence the delayed response, I do apologise. ALT2 is now good to go. --GGT (talk) 02:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
