Inhaltsangabe

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.

• How industrial centers and rural estates bred collective action against oppression
