ASHA didis were promised extra COVID duty pay, but many saw only empty accounts while doing endless surveys and risking infection. Their strikes were born of that betrayal. I say this because my bua is an ASHA worker in our basti—she spent her own money on masks and walked miles for tracking, only to hear "paise aayenge" for two years. Her struggle isn't just data in my research, it's our family’s evening anger over chai.
