"The BJP-led government projects itself as a vishwaguru, or world leader. But the true test of India’s global heft is its ability to protect Indian workers overseas" @usmanjawed.bsky.social on Indian legislation that again fails millions of overseas workers in the Gulf scroll.in/article/1090...
As the US-Israel war on Iran enters its 30th day, why do we hear so little about the 10 million Indian workers in the Gulf living in a war zone for the past month?
I discuss the policy neglect endured by these workers and three things the Overseas Mobility Bill (2025) needs to do to fix it.
Excellent piece by @usmanjawed.bsky.social on the responsibility of the Indian government to work with its partners in the GCC to protect the rights and interests of its #MigrantWorkers!

Important piece by @usmanjawed.bsky.social for @thewire.in - "the countries that provide the labour to the Gulf states... must be the ones that press for their protection– we cannot and should not rely on western NGOs and the international media to protect Indian workers."

Saudi Arabia 2034 provides India with the perfect opportunity to stand up and protect its nationals in the Gulf. Great piece in The Wire from @usmanjawed.bsky.social thewire.in/rights/why-i...
The scale of construction required to host the tournament, coupled with Saudi's abusive labour regime means the World Cup will claim the lives of thousands of Indian workers. This is an avoidable tragedy unfolding before our eyes.
Can India protect its workers?
