As #Covid19India escalates and lockdowns come into effect more and more of India's most desperate are going to risk their lives to access food and essentials for their families. Inequality is now literally a life-and-death issue, and will long term consequences for social justice
I saw today morning the lady who works as sanitation worker in the city corporation diligently at work, as always. What protection does she have? What risks is she taking, and why? I see delivery "boys" stretching their luck at great risk.
As lockdown extends more of the city's underclass is going to take greater risk becos nature of inequalities demand risk-taking behaviour from those who are desperate.This is a public health risk,but more imp is the need to u/s that this comes from ignoring idea of social justice
As India goes into Ghanta bajoing mode today, railway workers continue to work with no protection whatsoever -not even sanitisers.The usually voluble DeRailway Minister is missing in action. How can a society put to risk the lives of so many so that a few feel "safe"? @kanafoosi
