It brings together scholars from different fields to think of our present in the time of COVID-19 pandemic in a longer temporal frame. The essays compiled in this book investigate issues mentioned above, covering a period from the colonial past to the postcolonial present with an aim towards encouraging scholarly debates on protection, care and justice. Although the experiences of last two years have inspired some very important academic and scholarly interventions, this book compiles original research to contextualise the present in a longue duree framework and arrive at a more complex understanding of it. It is a must-have resource for researchers of developmental studies especially in the above mentioned areas, as well as policy makers, think tanks and other non-governmental organizations interested in these areas. 410 0$aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0020 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPublic health 606 $aLabor and Population Economics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aSocio-Economic Policy 606 $aPublic Health 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 14$aLabor and Population Economics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aSocio-Economic Policy. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a362.19624144 700 $aChakraborty$b Subhas Ranjan$01732985 701 $aBanerjee$b Paula$01732986 701 $aSengupta$b Kaustubh Mani$01732987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842498203321 996 $aThe Long 2020$94147947 997 $aUNINA
