[Abstract]
The migration crisis of 2020 unleashed by the lockdown to con tain the Covid-19 crisis in India raised important questions about migratio n and health. This talk revolves around two books\, one on migrati on and the other on pandemics\, both written from a historical perspective. It engages with questions such as: What is the geography and history of mi gration in India? How did we forget past pandemics in India that claimed 40 million lives between 1817 and 1920 due to cholera\, plague\, and influenz a? And how does such knowledge inform contemporary policymaking with respec t to migration and pandemic management?
