Description
“Labour in Madras” by B. P. Wadia is a pioneering work documenting the early labor movement in colonial India, particularly in Madras (now Chennai). Drawing from his firsthand experience as a labor leader, Wadia analyzes the conditions of industrial workers, the exploitation they faced, and the need for organized unions. The book highlights the founding of the Madras Labour Union and advocates for workers’ rights, fair wages, and social justice. It remains a foundational text in India’s labor and trade union history.
