A sudden announcement was made by the government on 24 March 2020
of a complete lockdown of the country, due to the spectre of
Coronavirus. India's Migrant Workers and the Pandemic was being
written as the crisis was unfolding with no end in sight. Migrant
workers from different parts of India had no choice but to trek
back hundreds of kilometres carrying their scanty belongings and
dragging their hungry and thirsty children in the scorching heat of
the plains of India to reach home. How did caste, race, gender, and
other fault lines operate in this governmental strategy to cope
with a virus epidemic? The eight papers in this collection,
highlight the ethical and political implications of the
epidemic-particularly for India's migrant workers. What were the
forces of power at play in this war against the epidemic? What
measures could have been taken and need to be taken now? Please
note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback
in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
