They are returning. Two months ago, he left Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and other metro cities, and walked towards his villages. A few take buses, many by their autos, and a lot of peoples were walking with their family, including kids. Fearing Corona and the compulsion of not being able to arrange bread for those days, they returned to their villages. At that time, how many had pledged that now they would not get trapped in this metropolitan antelope again. They said that we will live in our villages only, we will do something there. The resolution is now breaking. Hunger breaks the man.
After the lockdown opened, industrialists and businessmen from all over the county, including Delhi, Mumbai are upset. They are not getting laborers. In such a situation, then they thought that the workers who had returned should be brought back. For this, they are agreeing to pay rent now also. Today suddenly they have money. Just a month ago, the industrialists of Delhi and Noida had reached the court that if their earning is closed, then how should they pay the wages to the workers and employees. The court listened to them. Now they have money and ready to give to laborers. No one is going to question where the money went and where it suddenly came from. About one-third of the country's population is depending on the unorganized sector where there is no scope for questioning. The question there means termination of the job, whether they are journalists those are known to questioning always, or the teacher or someone else. There is no question as well as no choice to live. That is why the workers who have gone to their homes have started returning.

Meanwhile, some state governments have changed labor laws. Has extended wage hours and ended overtime, also no legal hearing now. The government sticks some more nails to the coffin of a dying system. Those who are returning are left the family in the villages. They are returning to start Life again. They don’t want to take any risk about their children. Flood-affected villagers try to build their huts again and work to get some crops from farms. The workers will do something similar. These include not only laborers but also other workers. Some are black collar and some are white-collar, some without collar also. But whatever the color of the collar, they all workers, some are low paid and some are highly paid. Some do physical work, some are mantel, but both are laborers. Both are two points of the same line but never meet until they face the same problem. Covid-19 pandemics create a situation where they can try to establish new relations but it’s not happened, because both had their reservations.
The government claims to provide billions to employment to the laborers in the villages. Recently, the government also released figures that the unemployment rate has come down from 23 to 13 percent. There is no scope to doubt the government's claims and figures. But these helpless laborers, of all kinds, do not understand the language of figures as much as the language of bread. That’s why they return to pour himself into the furnace of the metro cities. A senior economist journalist recently wrote an article that it would be dangerous to give employment to laborers in villages. Their development originates from the streets of cities. With the boycott of Chinese products during the confrontation with China, the Prime Minister also said that we should become self-reliant. But it seems that this is all just to say.
The way work is done in China from a large scale to a very local level, able to compete with the whole world. Cheap and beautiful statues of our Gods are made there, not in our century. The reason, most of the peoples are bounded to do labor work, physical or mantel, no matter. They can do anything on their own but it should not cause any trouble for our industrialists. That is why they are returning, again to the same world, where they were finding himself a stranger and unwanted two months ago. The economy will be back on track. The markets are again booming, but will the life of the worker ever come back on track? According to the report published on the first page in the Indian Express on June 28, the laborers of Bihar reached their homes but there is no work for them. That is why they are again running towards the cities.
