Abstract

The changes in labour laws announced during the lockdown period in several states reflect a lack of concern for the highest levels of unemployment seen in the past 45 years and the large number of workers leaving industrial pockets and returning back to an economy ravaged by agrarian distress. India, like the rest of the world today, is going through a pandemic. But the discussion in India, especially surrounding policy, seems to suggest it is business as usual. Public discourse is inundated with many additional arguments supporting the dilution or removal of all labour-related regulation. The COVID crisis is being seriously used as an opportunity to strengthen the control of Capital over Labour.
