  • History, Culture and the Indian City
    This page intentionally left blank History, Culture and the Indian City Rajnarayan Chandavarkar’s sudden death in 2006 was a massive blow to the study of the history of modern India, and the public tributes that have appeared since have confirmed an unusually sharp sense of loss. Dr Chandavarkar left behind a very subsantial collection of unpublished lectures, papers and articles, and these have now been assembled and edited by Jennifer Davis, Gordon Johnson and David Washbrook. The appearance of this collection will be widely welcomed by large numbers of scholars of Indian history, politics and society. The essays centre around three major themes: the city of Bombay, Indian politics and society, and Indian historiography. Each manifests Dr Chandavarkar’s hallmark historical powers of imaginative empirical richness, analytic acuity and expository elegance, and the volume as a whole will make both a major contribution to the historiography of modern India, and a worthy memorial to a very considerable scholar.

  • Traditional Industry in the Economy of Colonial India
    Traditional Industry in the Economy of Colonial India Tirthankar Roy CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Traditional Industry in the Economy of Colonial India The majority of manufacturing workers in South Asia are employed in industries that rely on manual labour and craft skills. Some of these industries have existed for centuries and survived great changes in consumption and technology over the last 150 years. In earlier studies, historians of the region focused on mechanized rather than craft industries, arguing that traditional manufacturing was destroyed or devitalized during the colonial period, and that `modern' industry is substantially different. Exploring new material from research into ®ve traditional industries, Tirthankar Roy's book contests these notions, demonstrating that, while traditional industry did evolve during the Industrial Revolution, these transformations had a positive rather than a destructive effect on manufacturing generally. In fact, the book suggests, several major industries in post-independence India were shaped by such transformations. Tirthankar Roy is Associate Professor at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Bombay. His recent publications include Artisans and Industrialization: Indian Weaving in the Twentieth Century (1993). Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society 5 Editorial board C. A.

  • Self-Employed Workers' Movements in India's Garments and Trash
    Redefining Exploitation: Self-Employed Workers’ Movements in India’s Garments and Trash Collection Industries1 Rina Agarwala Johns Hopkins University Abstract This article examines how self-employed workers are organizing in the garments and waste collection industries in India. Although the question of who is profiting from self-employed workers’ labor is complex, the cases outlined in this paper highlight telling instances of how some self-employed workers are organizing as workers. They are fighting labor exploitation by redefining the concept to include additional exploitation axes (from the state and middle class) and forms (including sexual). In doing so, they are redefining potential solutions, including identities and material benefits, to fit their unique needs. By expanding the category of “workers” beyond those defined by a narrow focus on a standard employer-employee relationship, these movements are also fighting exclusion from earlier labor protections by increasing the number of entitled beneficiaries. These struggles provide an important corrective to contemporary analyses of labor politics that focus too heavily on the precarious nature of employer-employee relationships and too little on broader definitions of work, exploitation, and protection. These broader definitions better represent the world’s mass of vulnerable workers and are being articulated from below. Since the turn of the twentieth century, the world’s workers have struggled to institute a social contract to regulate working conditions, mitigate exploitation, and protect workers’ dignity. While the resulting social contracts varied across countries, they shared a commitment to formally recognizing labor, holding states responsible for enforcement, and ensuring that capital decommodifies productive and reproductive labor through minimum wages, job security, work contracts, health care, and old-age benefits.

  • Health, Sanitation, and Welfare in Colonial Bombay, 1896-1945
    Creating a Healthy and ‘Decent’ Industrial Labor Force: Health, Sanitation, and Welfare in Colonial Bombay, 1896-1945. A Dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 8 June 2012 By Priyanka Srivastava M. Phil. Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, 1997. Committee Chair: Barbara N Ramusack Abstract This dissertation brings together scattered strands of labor, urban, gender and social reform histories to examine the discourse of labor welfare in colonial Bombay and its implication for the city’s cotton textile millworkers. It highlights that because of uneven economic and urban growth; millworkers lived in the overcrowded outskirts of the city that lacked infrastructure, especially for sanitation. Unforeseen crises such as the devastating bubonic plague of 1896-97 triggered sanitary housing schemes that targeted the poor. But as the epidemic-induced urgency diminished, procuring funds for these projects became harder. By the early twentieth century, systemic failures to extend healthy living to working class families produced alternate forms of urban governmentalities. The emerging educated, middle class public in Bombay increasingly became anxious that conditions of poverty and insanitation not only contributed to the recurrence of diseases and high rates of infant mortality but also threatened the aesthetics and moral fabric of the city. Assuming the roles of responsible citizens, social activists formed voluntary associations that aimed to ‘uplift’ mill populations, instructing them about the rules of a healthy and ‘decent’ living.
