The author, a seasoned journalist, accompanies a small band of desperate migrant laborers from the Delhi capital region (actually Ghaziabad) all the way to their home state, Bihar, by road, in the aftermath of the Covid coronavirus pandemic and the overnight lockdown in the country. The account shows the lack of forethought, the utter indifference of the authorities, and the strength and humanism of the ordinary people. The moral of the story is obvious: much more consultation, much more foresight and imaginative anticipation, and more realistic scenario building, is required in governance.

The nationwide lockdown in 2020 to curb the spread of Covid-19 left millions of migrant labourers without jobs, food and shelter. Desperate and helpless, most took to the road, embarking on the long, often fatal, journey home. Ritesh, Ashish, Ram Babu, Sonu, Krishna, Sandeep and Mukesh-migrants from Bihar-undertook a similar journey on their bicycles that lasted for seven days and seven nights. Their harrowing trip from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, to their hometown of Saharsa as they braved police lathis and insults, and battled hunger, exhaustion and fear, was documented by National Award-winning filmmaker Vinod Kapri. 1232 km is a story of the extraordinary courage of seven men in the face of tremendous odds.
