Answer 1

Answer:

This essay is a continuation of a series that I am writing on the Great Power ambitions of India, the world’s fifth largest economy, and with 1.3 billion people—the largest democracy.

In two earlier parts of this series, I have dealt with how India could ‘learn’ to be Great Power and the role of technology in the creation of Great Powers.

This essay is concerned with what happens to rise and fall of Great Powers in times of global pandemics or disease which spread rapidly and kill or impair a vast number of people.

Recent research has pointed out that the expected economic loss from a pandemic, for instance of influenza as used by researchers could reach up to $500 billion a year or 0.6% of global income a year. Such a pandemic could kill up to 720,000 people a year.

Historically, pandemics have not only had epochal economic impact but also have led to shifting sands of global power. It was probably typhoid fever that wiped out two-thirds of Athens as the city-state fell to its old rival, Sparta, around 430 BCE. In 1300, Black Death or bubonic plague broke the back of the Viking conquest of North America. In the 1500s, smallpox decimated the Aztec empire. Apathy from the British government during a plague pandemic in 1855 stoked the fire of revolution in India against colonialism.
