Factsheet: The 10th Month:Bombay's Historic Textile Strike, A chronology of events.

by centre for Education & Documentation

The ongoing textile strike in Bombay represent a watershed in the history of Indian labour. The ten month long struggle of the textile workers has, once again re-established their credentials as a workforce that has stayed at the forefront of industrial unionism in the country and has in fact even dictated its course.It was their pioneering efforts in the early years of this century that determined the scope and nature of all legislation pertaining to industrial relations. After a virtually dormant decade, two-and-a-half lakh workers are now threatening to breakdown the carefully-designed, repressive structures that had straitjacketed them for over thirty years, particularly the INTUC-affiliated Rastriya Mill Mazdoor Sangh which has been the sole bargaining agent for the cotton textile industry under the provisions of the Bombay Industrial Relations Act since 1946.

Communalism:The Razor's Edge

a FactSheet

Though each communal riot is a retrograde expression it also signifies that Indian society is rapidly being transformed. While this does not imply that we condone communalism, we do believe that the peculiar nature of Indian capitalist development has legitimised communal heirarchies. Thus the problem cannot be wished away; it will remain an integral part of Indian politics and society until the path of economic development itself undergoes a national change.

Contraception  As if Women Mattered

by Vimal Balasubrahmanyan, Price Rs.25/-Published in 1986

Patriarchy and oppressive living conditions inhibit women's access to birth control.  No Family Planning Programme imposed from above can help unless there is fundamental social change.
