Poor, defenceless and targeted. Migrant labour builds our “Smart Cities,” labouring on “our” flyovers and shopping malls which “they” will never use. Yet now they’re being targeted as “Bangladeshi” because they are Bangla speakers from BENGAL with valid citizenship papers. On 13-07-2025, Sagarika Ghose visits Jai Hind colony in Delhi’s Vasant Kunj to gain first hand information about the hardships there. Migrant workers of all religions have lived and worked for here decades. Today they face bulldozers and deportation to a country — Bangladesh—they have no connection with. Only because they speak Bengali. Unconstitutional and illegal actions by BJP governments across India.
