In 2020, Govt. of India locked down India in response to flattten CoViD19 infection curve. Prime Minister Modi locked down the whole country with just four hour's notice, forcing millions of migrants to leave urban industrial centres on a long march home.
Ry Cooder on the epic lives of Migrants as seen on Doordarshan, Indian State television (not really)
"How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too)"
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam
To move to a new location and find myself a home
I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands
They said I was unneeded, had no claim to the land
They said, "Come on, get moving, it's the only thing for you"
But how can you keep moving unless you migrate too
Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway
The Board of Sanitation says, "Sorry, you can't stay"
Come on, come on, get moving it's their everlasting cry
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate, so where the hell am I
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam
To move to a new location and find myself a home
