For India’s Laborers, Coronavirus Lockdown Is an Order to Starve
Despite leaders’ decrees on staying home, labourers who live hand-to-mouth say they have no choice but to keep hitting the streets. Here are their stories.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered a lockdown of India’s 1.3 billion citizens to fight the spread of coronavirus, urging people to distance themselves socially and work from home.
But social distancing means hunger for many in India, with a workforce heavily dependent on manual labour. It would be an unheard-of luxury for the ragpicker or street vendor who lives day today.
About 80 per cent of India’s 470 million workers are in the informal sector, lacking contracts and unprotected by labour laws. Many are manual labourers in the fields, factories and streets of India.
On a Wednesday afternoon, normally peak rush hour in Delhi, Ramchandran Ravidas was bicycling around in big, lazy circles in the middle of the main thoroughfare, boredom, hunger and his empty pockets on his mind.
On a good day, if he has “a lot of energy” he can make up to 450 rupees, or $6, he said. He lives out of the garage he rents his bicycle rickshaw from and worries that he will be evicted soon; he has had no customers since the lockdown.
