India is considered as an under developed country and its hard to control the virus if it outbreak in these countries. Unfortunately the virus outbreak in India despite the fact that they were the first few nations who started vaccinated their people in early stages. Too many people have lost their life in this crisis. 
The population is too huge and the government is helpless. If they had implemented some sort of family planning measures a few decades back, then the situation would have been much better now. I have relatives and friends in India and I have stayed in that country for many months. I would say that the uncontrolled population explosion has to be blamed for 99% of the issues there. Actually this is not something that is unique to India. It is applicable to most of the third world countries, such as Nigeria and the Philippines.
