In support of migrant workers 'returned to home'

I'm have signed this petition because I strongly believe that they deserve reaching home, especially under these unprecedented circumstances. Their ways to home should be supported by the government without violating their fundamental rights. In last 30-35 days, they have been through experiences which has challenged their dignity and rights to live and make decision. I still couldn't come over the fact that the way migrant workers have been disinfected, gathering of huge crowd at various stations or on road as they were FORCED to go home with empty stomach and lockdown police abuses because they lost their job and place to stay, a beggar collecting milk on road and the space was shared with four dogs (the image says a lot). The cherry picked support of government to the few, increasing the gap more than ever before and creating more stronger 'us versus them' feeling of deserving and rights to exercise what we could, without realising the fact that it is favoured by the socio-political ideology of the people in power. Any civilized and progressive society should NOT tolerate this in any capacity. We should do more than BALCONY GESTURES! India is not just the balcony people but much more than those and they deserve 'as equal right to live as any other balcony citizen of this country'. I fully support this 'ghal wapas chalo' petition for migrant workers. We should not forget that this is NOT what they have chosen. They are demanding going back home only when they have been asked to leave the company and place to live, and had no money to survive. There are another group of daily wage workers who are coming to face the similar challenges because their saving is going to over soon.

Invisible: Commonly Uncommon

Invisible: Commonly Uncommon

Invisible commonly uncommon aims to uncover the stories of people who have taken a long way out to be there, where they are, to be who, who they would have liked to be ... to live, what they would have wanted to live.

This also aims to cover the stories of those who couldn't make out to the path, the journey they wanted to, or aspired for. It also aims to cover those who couldn't reach the station they bought the ticket for, or thought sometimes would bought the ticket for.

At one level, we see that they failed, but the may not. Sometimes, the other goal post becomes so interesting that our original goals changes and set another goals to be achieved. Setting another goal does not give a sense of loss. However, when we fail to set new goals, it leads to frustration, misery, and sense of loss ...  a failure.

It somewhere aims to cover the stories to find out how 'uncommon' these 'common' people are. Or somewhere, how 'common' these 'uncommon' people are. The project aims to look at the commonalities within uncommonness and the uncommonness between so common thinking.

The Promise

The Promise

I'm making a promise.  A promise to re-new my 'self'.  

Before, the New Year begins,

The birds sing, 

Before,  ‘it’ blows with the wind,

Flapping new wings,  

Before,  ‘it’ sets like a sun 

awaiting to rise again, 

A fresh breeze,  a face with ease, 

Before ‘it’ fails, and  feels the pale 

Voyage to sail, to tell another tale,

A tale of courage, warmth, harmony, and peace 

Or Hate,  cold, and rage

Or a tale of fear ... A fear for  Love and respect to be ceased,

Equality,  identity,  opportunities deceased, 

I hope, I truly hope

I hope this year

I'll bring myself, the "Self" 

The 'self' to realize the guiding star,

to win this war, 

The war within and between 

A Feel like teen 

Big eyes and bright dreams, 

Endless hope and love, 

Blurred boundaries between you and me, them and us, and realizing the 'self'

P.S.
