As COVID-19 spread through India, Civil Society Organizations (CSO)s mobilized resources to support the efforts of the Government by playing the role of an active partner in providing social and economic welfare to the affected population. This paper aims to provide a concise overview of the response of civil society to the pandemic situation at the grassroots and policy level. Further, the authors discuss the paradox in demonstrated efficiency and commitment of civil society, which follows a crackdown on civil society organizations by the state through silencing voices of dissent and regulating the shrinking civic space. The strained relationship between the government and civil society organizations in India is also examined against the backdrop of draconian legislation and policies framed during the time of COVID-19, proscribing debate, review or consultations. In the context of the pandemic and the subsequent phase of recovery, such actions of the Government will have deleterious effects on the relationship of trust between civil society and the state. Through this paper, the authors argue for a more tolerant and co-operative approach to the functions of civil society organizations by the Government, thus effectively reducing mistrust and suspicion in the intentions of the state.

生命之源或死亡之吻:回顾COVID-19大流行期间印度的国家民间社会动态

随着COVID-19在印度的传播,民间社会组织(CSO)调动了资源,通过发挥积极合作伙伴的作用为受影响的人口提供社会和经济福利,从而支持政府的努力。本文旨在简要概述民间社会在基层和政策层面对大流行情况的反应。此外,作者讨论了公民社会在证明的效率和承诺方面的悖论,这是在国家通过压制异议声音和调节不断缩小的公民空间来镇压公民社会组织之后进行的。在COVID-19期间制定严厉的立法和政策的背景下,还研究了印度政府与民间社会组织之间紧张的关系,禁止辩论,审查或咨询。在大流行和随后的恢复阶段,政府的这种行动将对民间社会与国家之间的信任关系产生有害影响。通过这篇论文,作者主张政府对民间社会组织的职能采取更宽容和合作的态度,从而有效减少对国家意图的不信任和怀疑。
