Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Abdul Sattar Makandar is a 35-year-old father of four from India. A little less than two years ago, he was recruited to work in Saudi Arabia as a driver, joining the enormous number of South Asian migrants who head to the Middle East’s Gulf states for employment. Last week, a tearful video from Makandar went viral in India and elsewhere. In the video, posted to Facebook by New Delhi-based activist Kundan Srivastava, Makandar cried as he said that his employer was preventing him from traveling home to India.
