About this listen

A family. A lockdown. A journey.

For young Meher, living in Dharavi meant a life full of possibilities. Things were going well until the Indian government announced the world's biggest coronavirus lockdown. Soon, her parents are left jobless and stand to lose all - their home and their lives.

As COVID-19 cases in the Mumbai slum soar, Meher and her family realize they have no choice but to leave for their village in Rajasthan. With the ban on public movement, it becomes clear that they would have to walk the 900 kilometers, facing barbaric police officers, searing heat, wild beasts, and indifferent deities.

A deeply moving story about family, survival, and relentless hope, Homebound brings to life the stark realities of those who have remained too long without a voice.

Praise for Homebound:

"A powerful, accessible, heart-wrenching novel." (Nilanjana Roy)

"A compelling reminder of what millions went through during those desperate months, when we were all being tested by fate." (Pritish Nandy)

"A poignant letter to our dystopian present. An elegy for the faceless and the nameless. [Homebound] is a striking document of our times, a tour de force." (Hansal Mehta)

Homebound Review

This is an excellent story, narrated in a wonderful way.
Very interesting and incite full. Millions of our country people had to go through hell to get back to their homes. Informs us of the wonderful and not so wonderful hues of our beautiful Country in a unique way and the narration by Shubhu Amin makes it more fantastic.
