Description
Labour In Madras is a seminal work that explores the rich history of the labor movement in the Madras Presidency and later the Madras State. B P Wadia presents a detailed account of how workers organized themselves, faced exploitation, and fought for better working conditions and rights.
The book traces the evolution of labor unions, strikes, and worker activism from the early industrial period through the independence movement and beyond. Wadia examines the socio-economic factors that shaped labor relations, the role of political movements in mobilizing workers, and the impact of various reform policies.
This scholarly work is essential for understanding South Indian industrial history, the contributions of labor leaders, and the broader context of India’s economic and social development. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, economists, labor activists, and students of Indian history.
