India holds 3rd place for case numbers with 13.3% of global cases but the claimed number of deaths is only 7.2% of those globally. If correct, that would make an interesting case study. Their CMR is better than most countries in the world (including us) at 1.85% but they have more than twice the number of cases per 100k adults (314 v 138) and deaths per 100k adults (5.8 v 2.8) as Australia and have only tested 3.5% of the adult population compared to the 32% here.
From what we have gathered so far, more tests should equal more cases which would further lower the CMR but increase the number of cases per 100k which would lead me to believe that there might not be transparent reporting of the actual fatalities.
