Prominent advocates of UBI in India include Guy Standing, a professor of Development Studies and co-author of Basic Income: A Transformative Policy for India, who claims basic income is a “matter of social justice.”[6] Among Standing’s co-authors are other advocates such as Sarath Davala, an independent sociologist, who, in his 2017 Tedx Talk, expressed support for unconditional basic income due its emancipatory effects. Renana Jhabvala, the founder of the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA) who facilitated the basic income pilot program, advocates for basic income as “a social policy whose time has come.”[7] Pranab Bardhan, a professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, explains that “basic income may very well be fiscally feasible – not to mention socially desirable – in places where the poverty threshold is low and existing social safety nets are both threadbare and expensive to administer.”[8] Indian politician Baijayant Panda has also advocated for basic income in India, explaining that “India may actually be a better case for a basic income” compared to other nations.[9]
