Magazine Description
In this issue
NGM India's August 2020 issue gets under the skin of pandemics past, in a quest to understand the COVID-19 crisis of the present. Examining viral horrors and reactionary human resilience through the centuries might be useful, but only if we remember to carry forward the lessons. Other notable features in the issue uncover a brewing water crisis in the unlikely Indian landscape of holy rivers; and the blazing history of women's suffrage.
