Police in India are on a drive to detain and deport Bangladeshi immigrants, following a government directive. But activists say those being detained are mostly Indians who speak Bengali, who are also often Muslims. This is leading to an exodus of Bengali-speaking Indian workers from urban centers. Many of them are fleeing home to their families in the states of Assam and West Bengal. The city of Gurugram, which borders New Delhi, is seeing the consequences of this exodus of sanitation and domestic workers who keep the city functional. DW Special Correspondent Nimisha Jaiswal reports from Gurugram.
