Budhan Stories S2E7: Corona won't affect us
Episode 7 of Season 2 - This episode was shot in Maharashtra and Bhopal, with online and offline interviews with Pardhi people sharing stories of suffering during Corona. Pardhis are one of the most stigmatised community as a Criminal Tribe in various states and development policies are never made for them. They are social outcasts and the state could not reach out to them for the help during Corona because they live in remote areas, at the roadsides and in forest areas. Also stigma makes their problems much worse.
