Ramapo Global Talks: "COVID-19 and Human Rights of Minorities in India"
2021-04-26 13:00 - 14:00
Program Description: While the spread of COVID-19 has posed a huge challenge to the whole world, its impact on ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities has been far more severe. In countries like India, existing poverty, traditional biases, and discriminatory policies by those in power has inflicted even more wounds on the already disadvantaged communities. It has resulted in undermining of various constitutional and human rights protections including the right to equality, right against discrimination, freedom of expression, right to health, and most importantly right to life and personal liberty. This lecture will highlight how the pandemic has caused further marginalization of minorities in India with specific reference to the Muslim community.
