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 through 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.

Calcutta’s beginnings and subsequent growth as a city can be attributed to a large extent to the network of bazaars that came into being within its urban space in the late 18th century and early years of the 19th century. The bazaar came to acquire a dynamism that went beyond mere commercial importance. It imbibed identities that at once acted as stimulus for urban growth, and provided their owners with a space which could be turned into a veritable landlordism within the city limits. The social geography of the bazaars, with respect to its owners and the bazaar people, the traders and the vendors, is thus an engaging study that throws light on Calcutta’s society of the time as well. The emergence of these bazaars in the period concerned is thus of immense significance and deserves a great deal of attention that they have never received before.
