Positive signs are emerging: life has largely returned to normal for the 18% of humanity that live in India: https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/life-back-to-normal-covid-s-decline-in-india-sparks-a-shopping-spree-121021500680_1.html
Economic indicators confirm the trend. Life is returning to normal in India. Not a new normal, just normal normal. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/indicators/business-activity-almost-back-to-normal-in-india-nomura/articleshow/80767213.cms
Even domestic air travel has nearly captured all of the lost volume from the panic of 2020: https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2021/feb/05/flight-operationsin-odisha-inching-back-to-normal-as-covid-pandemic-eases-in-india-2259829.html
It wasn't vaccines that got India back to normal, either (they've barely started):
It wasn't lockdowns (ended in May) that worked, or masks, either.
Rather, it simply appears as though Covid spread through India, largely unabated, peaking in early September before fading away. Infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are all down ~90%.

The only question remaining is if the decline in India is driven primarily by seasonal affects or by population immunity.
Serological surveys indicate that a large portion of the population has been infected, with most being unaware: https://scroll.in/article/986097/what-lessons-do-indias-covid-19-serosurveys-hold

Covid spread, unopposed, in India during 2020 and killed 0.01% of the population. Meanwhile, the initial local lockdown and global hysteria have pushed 85 million people into poverty. It is very unlikely that the WHO will convince India to make this mistake twice.
So, it appears that India has regained their sanity and is returning rapidly to the old normal, not the new normal, and they are not awaiting the permission of Bill Gates, the WHO, or the WEF. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/we-may-be-back-to-normal-in-2022-bill-gates/story-eGF2M9sNwHHUQu8Bs4HsOJ.html
