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

Since the CAA-NRC debate has moved the Overton Window on the issue of migration, let me bring up a lost cause that no side wants to speak for: internal migration. #thread
I know that no one bears the responsibility to be internally consistent while constructing their viewpoints, but the cognitive dissonance on migration boggles my mind. Hear me out.
