Discussion on 'Locking Down The Poor' by Harsh Mander
In the book, published by Speaking Tiger Books, social activist #HarshMander analyses the largest lockdown in human history that led to a grave humanitarian crisis, which continues till today, and how it is the direct consequence of policy choices that the government made. The book has voices of out-of-work daily-wagers and informal workers, the homeless and the destitute, all overwhelmed by hunger and dread. From highways and overcrowded quarantine centres, Mander brings us stories of migrant workers who walked hundreds of kilometres to their villages or were prevented from doing so and detained.
