  • Also sharing here her latest publication:
  • Migrant Workers and the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of Delhi, by Papia Sengupta, pp. 159–186, DOI: 10.33134/HUP-36-7. In: Protecting Workers? Crisis, COVID-19, and South Asia, edited by Kanchana N. Ruwanpura and Wilfried Swenden, Helsinki: Helsinki University Press, 2026. Abstract: The chapter critically analyses the pandemic measures adopted towards migrant workers in Delhi to investigate their consequences. This is important given the high density of migrant workers from neighbouring states. Utilising oral testimonies of workers and document analysis of the Delhi government's special programmes, the chapter analyses the case of the government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi through three lenses: state support, pandemic inequities, and vulnerability. This is undertaken by using narratives of migrant workers in Delhi and their experiences of the pandemic and how it affected them. I used qualitative methods based on long oral testimonies of 25 migrant workers in the two industrial sites of Wazirpur and Kapashera. These accounts were collected between December 2021 and June 2022, which coincided with the lowering of the first wave in 2021 and just in the aftermath of the devastating second wave in 2022. This was a period of pain, loss, and suffering for the poor and marginalised. This chapter gives a nuanced perspective from below, that is, how the workers experienced policies on the ground: the hardships of the pandemic was felt by everyone but many of these workers lost jobs and family members to the virus. Others, who were fortunate not to lose a family member, lost out on the possibility of vertical mobility.
