  1.  Tanha Dil  no lockdown in your country probably means 1,000,000 cases a day, possibly more. The economy can't operate well under such circumstances. The longer it takes to lockdown the worse the effects, if you look around the world many countries or jurisdictions only locked down after the disaster already happening and a lot harsher lockdown. Support for the poorer people is needed at the same time.

  2. 15 days will probably achieve very little, for about a week after lockdown start cases still rising as households become fully infected, if you then wait another week and open up all those newly infected people go straight back out again and all that might be achieved is 1 week without rising cases.

  3. If you listened even to this interview he told you, he mentioned that there was some belief of herd immunity. Another aspect is from within and without India claims were being made of genetic advantage as in genetic superiority. Some European and US too I believe made the hypothesis that Asian countries less affected because they must have already had plenty of other similar viruses already making them immune or in other words genetic superiority, but it was nothing more than Europe and the Americas took no containment measures , only relaxed mitigation measures ( open borders and voluntary quarantine) so failed badly, but bias meant they wanted to explain it another way or excuse themselves for their own failures. India was in the middle along with it's WHO region, with 7 days hotel quarantine and 7 days self quarantine, Western Pacific region is 14 days mandatory enforced usually hotel quarantine, however in deaths per million Japan and Philippines similar to India because their quarantine measures not tight enough. Without the new variants India would not have a problem actually, but the UK variant and most likely the Indian variant are far more contagious. Note the countries I mentioned including India are still below 10% in deaths per million of most of Europe and US.
