This ethnographic study investigates the lived experiences of stigma and social discriminations in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in India and explored three specific themes that emerged during the pandemic: body in quarantine and manifestations of stigmas; social processing of stigmas; and embodied reflections of stigmas. These themes show the intersections of perceived, experienced and internalized stigmas among the stigmatized and produced the concept of “being-in-the-struggle,” which indicates the complexities, challenges, and hurdles created by the Covid-19 induced stigma and social discrimination among the stigmatized. Thus, this study demonstrates how the social processing of stigma becomes a reality on its own and affects the victims’ everyday social as “being in the struggle”. Furthermore, we propose “pandemic ethnography” to uncover the everyday social of a person or group affected by a pandemic like Covid-19 and urge social science researchers to rethink ethnographies with emerging epistemological and methodological challenges posed by the pandemic.
