This book is a pioneering study of the relationship between management and labour in three key industries, namely, coal, jute and cotton textile, in colonial India from 1900 to 1947. It studies history of labour and enterprise though a Marxian-Gramscian lens. The author builds a narrative of economic history, alongside he pens a social history of working class life. It is a rare blend of economic and social history and an indispensable tract to understand the history of capitalist industrialization and concomitant labour-management relations in colonial India within the broad framework of Marxism.
