It was in this backdrop that India's ability to rise \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e to the challenge had been written off entirely by many leading 'experts'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Doomsday predictions were made which included mass deaths and anarchy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e However, Prime Minister Modi's robust grip on the administration changed \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e India's fortunes in the fight against the virus.
