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."

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?
