Re:Work Radio ยท Stranded

In 2020, India suddenly went into a national lockdown without advance planning or adequate government support, which led to a humanitarian crisis in addition to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Millions of jobs disappeared and hunger was a serious issue. Tens of millions of migrant workers struggled to get home โ€” often on foot โ€” and many died attempting the journey. In this episode, we bring you the story of Gulzar, a migrant worker who left his village as a child and traveled across the country, to earn money to support his family.

    The episode on Gulzar was heart-wrenching. The failure of the state on so many fronts, and the helplessness of Gulzar and many like him, is a reminder of how India has failed its most vulnerable.
