Industrial strikes, farm protests, and mass action converge to shape a bold labor movement against British rule.
Basanta Koomar Roy surveys how British India’s mills and farms became centers of unrest, where workers faced long hours and harsh conditions. The book traces the rise of organized labor and its link to political change, showing how everyday toil helped fuel a broader push for self-rule.
It connects worker struggles to wider political battles—from famines and land taxes to landmark laws and mass protests. The narrative moves through pivotal moments, including collective actions and the leadership of figures who shaped India's quest for independence.
Ideal for readers of labor history, colonial studies, and Indian history seeking a clear account of how workers helped reshape a nation.
