According to Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, India has the most stringent lockdown as compared to other nations and has scored 100% in the scale; nevertheless, there had been sporadic incidence of attacks on police personnel and medical workers in different parts of India. This article argues that such resistance comes from two broad factors: (i) a collective scepticism that has built up among certain section of people and (ii) a tool of defiance against the government. In order to quell such resistance, community leaders and the police can play a very crucial role. In order to establish the above hypotheses, a quantitative approach of the events that have occurred in India during the lockdown period of 21 days shall be considered.
根据牛津大学新冠疫情政府应对追踪项目，与其他国家相比，印度实施了最严格的封锁措施，在该评分标准中得分为100%；然而，印度不同地区仍不时发生袭击警察和医护人员的事件。本文认为，这种抵制源于两个主要因素：（i）一部分人逐渐形成的集体怀疑态度，以及（ii）一种反抗政府的手段。为了平息这种抵制，社区领袖和警方可以发挥非常关键的作用。为了验证上述假设，将考虑对印度在21天封锁期内发生的事件采用定量分析方法。
