This scholarly work re-evaluates the foundational narratives of labor history in colonial India. It critically examines the experiences and consciousness of the working class in Bengal between 1890 and 1940, challenging conventional Marxist interpretations. The author argues for a more nuanced understanding of class formation, integrating cultural and social dimensions often overlooked in traditional accounts. This incisive analysis presents a compelling case for rethinking the very categories through which subaltern histories are constructed. It illustrates the complex interplay of power, identity, and economic forces that shaped the lives of industrial workers during a pivotal era, transformative era, as detailed in Rethinking Working-Class History: Bengal 1890-1940.
