First published in 1939, The Industrial Worker in India examines the problems of industrial labour and industrial legislation at the time. It addresses the labour movement as it emerged against the backdrop of colonial rule and industrialization, providing insights into the social conditions that shaped working-class consciousness.
The author traces the origins and evolution of labour organization, analyzing the attitudes of government authorities, capitalist employers, and workers themselves. Through an account of labour leadership and the struggles for representation, the book explores the challenges faced by industrial workers in pre-independence India. It reviews the legislative framework governing industrial relations and offers a portrait of the daily realities—both in the workplace and beyond—that defined labourer existence.
This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of colonial and economic history.
