How corona epidemic will affect the informal laborers market?

Image
By - Amit Kumar (Research Scholar at BML Munjal University ) Since the outbreak of corona virus, few questions, particularly in regard to the Indian economy kept bouncing in my head. Is the exodus of the informal laborers from the Industrial region temporary? Do our politicians of various states, empathetic enough to sense the pain of their daily wage workers? How this forced migration of Informal laborer will impact India’s informal Job Market? On average, minimum wages in Delhi are around 15K~16K /Month , that too with no job security. Then, it would be reasonable to assume that a worker might be able to save at most 3~5 K/Month (taking into account the high cost of living in metropolitan). If the state governments provide financial assistance of 3~5 k to migrant informal labor in the form of various schemes. In the post-COVID-19 world, this might lead to the scarcity of labor in the market for a short period. How? Since various state governments announced some support in the for

By - Abhudai Pal  CAA-NRC-NPR is the most inflammable topic in India. Some are in favor of this while some others are opposing it vehemently. In the entire wholesome, those who didn’t get a place in any category are the bunch of confused some. I met many confused ladies and gentlemen. One guy, in particular, was so awesome that he made me confused about his situation. What’s your opinion of CAA-NRC-NPR? I asked the guy curiously. I expected some intellectually loaded arguments with mention of the constitution of India, Article 14, Right to equality, Preamble, etc. But the guy replied: “Oh, what’s that?” At his 3 word answer, I was dumbstruck. From my observation, I can say that the man was in his mid-30s. I told him the entire thing about CAA-NRC-NPR . Then I asked him, “So what do you think now”? He asked me how will this affect him? I told him that when NRC will be implemented you have to submit some documents to the Government of India as proof of your citizenship. “Some documents

By - MS. ANUBHAV Citizenship of a nation gives a person the rights of a citizen of that country. These rights are common for every citizen irrespective of their Religion, Castes, Creed, and Races. One of the crucial rights of a citizen, in a nation, is the "RIGHT TO VOTE", which gives a citizen the power to elect his/her political representative. In India, the word "CITIZENSHIP" is in controversies since the CAB became CAA. The controversies are so powerful that they lead to the eruption of leaderless protests, in India's prestigious educational institutions and cities. The protest came into the Limelight after the police brutality on the Jamia Milia Islamia students. The protests in India are the consequences of the Citizenship Amendment Act. Does the enforcement of this law, deprive the fundamental right of an Indian citizen? "I am an Indian", assert every Indian proudly. Does the pride associated with the assertion is in danger? Does this ac

A letter to Bapu on his 150th Birth Anniversary

Dear Bapu, On 2 nd October 2019, as India celebrates your 150 th birth anniversary. I am not happy and I want to tell you about the conditions of India. Under the banner of cleanliness, a government has stolen your spectacles. They chose not to invest in technologies so, “no human has to enter into sewer lines” and manual scavenging comes to the end. Bapu come back and advise the government to give your spectacles back and focus on banning manual scavenging! Your idea of India was secular. The idea of a nation for which you fought, is murdered by people in the power. Indians are killed to protect the animal. Akhlaq, Tabrez, Junaid,  and many others were killed by Mob and their mistake was their name . You said, “In India, I am biased toward the Muslim, and in Pakistan, I am biased toward Hindus” to defend India’s secular fabric. Today's leaders are lacking the moral courage to repeat what you said. Bapu please come back and tell the importance of human v/s animal to my fellow I
