I hope it does not, definitely not along this route.

"Some Indian states have stripped away laws that gave labourers basic protections"

I feel really sad that press reports this instead of strongly protesting/criticizing such measures. It does feel like we have not learned our lessons and continue to place corporations ahead of people even after this pandemic.

What do you mean by reporting this instead of criticizing such measures? They can't criticize without reporting what it is they criticize, and they do criticize it:

"India has to follow better standards. These are white board ideas drafted on Powerpoint by bureaucrats who are completely divorced from the reality of global trade."

"But such decisions could become counterproductive and hurt rather than help", it makes me feel that they are only worried because it could hurt that plan but not as an intrinsic concern to uphold the rights of people.
