Economic crisis would certainly happen, but the government is doing the right thing, we can't choose between money and health here, of course the government will always prioritize the health of the people even if that would result to the collapse of the economy.
India's number of cases is still small, but we've seen what happen to other countries, the government are just preventing more damage, so I think we should just cooperate with this.

It is very big decision by PM of India and this shut down is not for one day, one week BUT its for whole 21 Days!!
Moreover, internal sources suggest that this lockdown is going to be extended further more if situation of corona doesnt follow within control. This is crazy decision has shaken the whole India for sure and its gonna create economic crisis! People wont be having any money after a month to spend for daily needs, industries wont be paying to employees because there is no business, which means no money outflow-inflow!

I'm sure the decision wasn't taken lightly. Do you want 3 weeks of lockdown now, or months of uncontrolled epidemic later? The experiences of Italy and NYC show what happens when you wait and do nothing.
I just wonder if Indians will comply. The order doesn't even seem to allow people to leave their house for food....

Shutting down is not crazy and it the best solution to curtail the spread of corona virus. To be alive is better than rubies. Thus, what the government need to do therefore is to move in with immediate relief to the people like food, sanitizers , money either through bank account transfers so that people can get some other needs pending the solution for the cure of the virus.
Meanwhile, India is not the only country on this too.

Confirmed https://twitter.com/UN_News_Centre/status/1242622226525900800What a video posted there!
It's understandable for a country like India with the second-biggest population to do this curfew. It's sad, and I expect Indonesia also will do similar action since our healthcare system is considered weak. If the virus can wreak havoc in strong healthcare countries, it would be more devastating here.
Crisis? Maybe, at least economic slowdown globally.

First you need to understand why India had to do this. India is a densely populated country with 455 inhabitants per square kilometer. If Covid-19 starts spreading like Italy in India, it would kill millions of people in no time! India doesn't have the health care facilities like other first world countries so this is the best we can do at this moment, keep social distance to ensure the virus stays at bay!
Once the situation is controlled, government will have to declare stimulus packages to strengthen the economy. There are several areas that can be recovered from financial crisis through such stimulus packages.
Right now, we can just follow what government orders us to do. Save your life first. You will earn money later once everything normalizes.

Here's a link to the news: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/24/coronavirus-indias-prime-minister-orders-nationwide-lockdown.html
It's obvious that there's going to be an unprecedented economic crisis in this country, real question is how long could it last? Is the indian govt prepared to face such crisis? What are they going to do about the SMEs?
Btw, it'll be interesting to see if this could have an impact on the cryptocurrency market in the short-term. Not too long ago, the pseudo ban on crypto trading in India was lifted[1] which many people in the cryptosphere saw as bullish news. But now, with a complete lockdown in a country with 1.3 billion people, who knows what effects could have in the local crypto industry as well the global cryptocurrency industry.

Tough decision for the leader but it's for the best interest of the whole nation. The Corona virus is really harming everyone and if this virus already inside the country the only thing to prevent a much bigger damage is to implement total lockdown.
It will bring economic problem but it's the only solution where there's no cure yet to this pandemic virus, The people around should follow this call in order
to save more lives.

It is the best solution needed to control the spreading of the virus that comes at a very high economic cost, such a hard decision must be taken after a lot of thinking and analyzing of the situation locally and worldwide and preparing solutions to the upcoming days, but, it is the only one that can minimize the consequences IF the procedure is respected by all citizens or it will the situation will be uncontrollable like Italy or France.
Many countries have made the same procedure, the government was forced to help institutions from bankrupting by postponing the paying of taxes and providing free interest credit for poor families, without this, people will get crazy about the situation and full panic will take place.

LOL man, it is happening all over world. It is not as big as it was 2 months ago in China. Now lock downs are an usual thing. It can even happen that regions in India with most infected gets under the quarantine.
So what are the statistics of them and how you co-relate it to Indian situation?
Considering that India is densely populated with most of the base serving average employment with mid level salaries.

Authorities have said that people should not step outside their houses. This is impractical as well as unenforceable. In a country of 1.4 billion people (including some 30 million illegal immigrants), how can the authorities make sure that everyone stays at home? Even if this lock-down succeeds, I am not sure whether everyone is having enough food and other essential supplies with them to survive for that long.
Actually they are already taking precautionary steps such as life saving and perishable stuff is allowed to be sold but with lot of limitations.
Strong rules have been imposed to across the country so that socialisation wont happen and there will be ZERO face to face contact minimising the risk of contagious disease.
Though India's population is large then also police force is working harder on them, literally hitting the people badly but for the purpose of good.
But, we cant predict how it will impact the whole economy stuff and that is what i want to know, how, and how badly?

China did the same to control the corona spread so country like India also forced to do that complete lockdown to shutdown the community spread hour it will create more serious mortality rate compared to other developed Nations so show the leader decided to to take risk with the economy not with the people health care.
