A Thousand Miles: To Hell and Back
Vinod Kapri and Barkha Dutt in conversation with Chinmay Tumbe, poetry reading by Ruth Padel
India 75
Presented by Dainik Bhaskar
India’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak followed by a total shutdown, marked an unimaginable national tragedy leaving millions of migrant workers stranded, starving and unemployed. Vinod Kapri’s 1232 Kms documents the journey of seven migrant workers to their village, a crisis faced by millions who were forced to walk hundreds of kilometres home, through deadly conditions, abandoned by an administration with only a shrug to offer for their hardship. Barkha Dutt covered the migrant exodus relentlessly and for months on the road; her new book To Hell and Back: Humans of Covid tells the gripping, human stories of India’s pandemic and the sordid roots of a nation plagued by inequalities across class, caste and gender. In conversation with Chinmay Tumbe, author of India Moving, Kapri and Dutt discuss the faces and forces at the centre of the exodus.
