The present work is a distinguished and erudite contribution in this direction and caters to a long-felt need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern Indian working class was born in a period when India witnessed the transition of her economy from agricultural appendage of imperialist Britain to nascent Industrialism. Further, in India, because of her colonial and feudal exploitation and the non-homogeneous and retarded development of capitalism, the condition of the proletariat was additionally problematic and its establishment as a new class was a tortuous and protracted process. And since the birth, the working class of India had to confront two basic antagonistic forces-an imperialist political rule and economic exploitation both by the native and foreign capitalist classes. Consequently, the Indian trade union movement far from remaining as an economic movement alone, became intertwined with the political struggle for national liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters of the book present an objective and fascinating study of the intricacies and interconnections of these social, economic and political processes and through a galaxy of facts and figures graphically unfold the poignant but magnificient story of the Indian working class beginning from its birth in the 1830’s, its onward march right upto the present times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe revised and enlarged edition further deals with the effect of on going scientific and technological revolution on the struggle and structure on the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational Background\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisintegration of Traditional Indian Economy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelopment of Capitalist Economy in India and Emergence of the Working Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvance of Industrialization and Conditions of Working Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmigrant Indian Labour and Plantation Labour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning of Working-Class Movement 1850-1900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreparatory Phase for Organized Trade Union Movement 1900-14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst World War-Political Awakening of Working Class and Development of Organized Trade Union Movement 1914-20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoundation of the All India Trade Union Congress 1920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond Session of the All India Trade Union Congress 1921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst Appearance of Marxian Thought In India and Consolidation of the World Proletariat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomic Recession-Defensive Struggle of the Working Class 1922-26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharpening and Extension of Struggle 1926-29\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganizational Split and Imperialist Onslaught 1929-31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStruggles During World Economic Crisis 1931-36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharp Struggles During Provincial Autonomy and on the eve of war 1937-39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventful Course of Working-Class Struggles During World War II 1939-45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLast Phase of National Struggle and the Indian Working-Class 1945-47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrade Unions of Government and over White Collar Employees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking-Class in the New Perspective 1947 to 1970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking-Class Struggles Confront Unprecedented Repression from State 1971-77\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiverse Political Scenario and New Vistas of Working-Class Struggles 1977-1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharpening of Economic Crisis and Mounting Working-Class Resistance 1985-1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Situation-Problems and Prospects \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Sukomal Sen \/ K P Bagchi \/ Paperback","offer_id":40789208957097,"sku":"17482","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/17482.jpg?v=1625569447","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/products\/17482-working-class-of-india","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
