Indians crowd a wholesale market ahead of the Hindu festival of Dussehra in New Delhi, India, Saturday, October 24, 2020. Just weeks after the country of 1.4 billion people fully opened up with a far greater semblance of normality and managed to modestly turn a corner by cutting the new infections by near half, a virus that has killed more than 118,000 Indians and sickened nearly 8 million is expected to return with a renewed surge. The reason: a Hindu festival season that draws tens and thousands of people, packed together shoulder-to-shoulder in temples, shopping districts and congregations, leading to fears and a sense of foreboding among health experts who warn of a whole new cascade of infections, further testing India’s already battered healthcare system.
