The novel corona virus pandemic triggered a massive labour migration unlike any other in the history of India. It posed deep and grave challenges to the understanding of labour, migration, differentiated citizenship, dignity, vulnerability and deliberative democracy. This timely volume examines the impact COVID-19 had on the lives of the working poor and the migrants in India. It discusses issues like migrants and their citizenship; migrant labour and Indian political economy; women migrant’s march and the new normal; labour welfare and the role of the state; restrictions on movement and the marginalized; migration governance; and the issue of labour rights and justice. Topical and lucid, this volume with contributions from expert scholars in the field, will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of migration studies, labour studies, development studies, political economy, political sociology, labour economics and political studies.
