The pandemic is an epochchanging moment. Millions have fallen sick,hundreds of thousands have succumbed to the disease. We have been caught unawares and still do not know how to deal with it. Historic events such as this compel us to raise  big questions usually submerged in the hustle and bustle of life: what is and what isn’t in human control? How to make sense of collective helplessness in the face of abrupt changes? What is the place of contingency, fortune and misfortune in our life? Fatalism provides one answer: human agency is insignificant. We are permanent victims of inscrutable forces beyond our control. With the arrival of the pandemic,the surge of fatalism seems inevitable within popular consciousness. What else can we expect in the land of Karma— the idea that birth, status, marriage, occupation, all life experiences,and death are predetermined? Isn’t our personal destiny inscribed on our forehead or in the lines of our palm? Are we not already allotted a share (bhaga) of fortune or misfortune at birth? Isn’t Hinduism virtually synonymous with fatalism? Surely,we must then expect a lot of fatalistic gloom in these times. The near-absence of fatalism Yet, there is scarce evidence for it. I don’t see ordinary people resigned to their fate — an inscrutable, unpredictable force that acts on humans against their will, mocks their agency and humiliates them. Instead, they expect governments to  take charge, doctors and nurses to save lives, scientists to deliver a cure,fellow citizens to behave responsibly.The poor do not seem to abjectly surrender to their fate either. They are willing to take huge risks and return home, not die of hunger when abandoned  by governments. In short,Hindu fatalism seems to be a myth spun by Western, orientalist imagination.Or, perhaps, sustained by the rich who imagine the poor to be victims of fate; it is not what the poor believe about themselves.
