Описание: In response to the public health crisis of COVID, India has imposed one of the most stringent and ill-prepared lockdowns in the world, leading to a humanitarian disaster. Over 700 people have died unrelated to the virus but due to distress directly caused by the lockdown, such as hunger. Even as the state has flexed its executive muscle, activating police forces to enforce the lockdown with excessive force, it has receded from the space of welfare and wellbeing. It has left over 400 million migrant workers stranded in big cities forced to walk back to their homes thousands of miles away. Red flags have also been raised about contact tracing methods, via the Arogya Setu app, being used instead to further build up the surveillance state. The speakers will bring light to this urgent humanitarian and democratic crisis from their experiences rooted in rural communities and courts, even as the peak of the public health crisis looms large up ahead.
