This book presents the results of a series of studies of the labor markets in Pune, a medium-sized city in India. In the seven-year period over which these studies were carried out, Pune was transformed from a quiet administrative and educational center with a few isolated, relatively low technology factories, employing mostly unskilled and semi-skilled laborers, into a major manufacturing city with a substantial number of large-scale factories producing a diverse set of products, requiring high technology and a skilled work force. At the same time there was what is referred to as the Pune urban agglomoration growth. If there ever was a mix of rapid industrialization, and rapid urbanization, this was it.

India is undergoing accelerated change with industrialisation as a goal widely shared by India’s planners. Domestic industry is being partially replaced by a more efficient factory system and clearly India has committed herself to modernisation. To understand the phenomenon of modernisation and its social consequences, we need dialectic of social knowledge concerning the phenomenon and its impact on people. The research of this book is intended to be a contribution to such knowledge. Specifically, this is a study of industrial workers in two privately owned factories in North India. These two factories are located in small towns and draw a large share of their labour force from surrounding rural areas and villages. To measure the impact of industrial employment, the sample of industrial workers is compared to a controlled sample of agricultural workers. Our basic goal in attempting to understand the process of modernisation was to explore (a) the underlying reasons why men shift from farm to factory work, and (b) the subsequent changes, which come about in their attitudes and values.
In this series of interconnected essays, Rajnarayan Chandavarkar offers a powerful revisionist analysis of the relationship between class and politics in India between the Mutiny and Independence. Dr Chandavarkar rejects the 'Orientalist' view of Indian social and economic development as exceptional and somehow distinct from that prevailing in capitalist societies elsewhere, and reasserts the critical role of the working classes in shaping the pattern of Indian capitalist development. Sustained in argument and elegant in exposition, these essays represent a major contribution not only to the history of the Indian working classes, but to the history of industrial capitalism and colonialism as a whole. Imperial Power and Popular Politics will be essential reading for all scholars and students of recent political, economic, and social history, social theory, and cultural and colonial studies.--Publisher description.
Circulation is common in Third World countries and involves reciprocal flows of people, goods and ideas. The essays in this volume, first published in1985, discuss concepts associated with circulation in its various forms, and they present empirical evidence based on field work from holistic, ecological, social, and economic points of view. Contributions from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific come from an international group of authors representing a variety of disciplines in the social sciences. All who are concerned with social and economic development need to recognise the importance of circulation at all levels of society and polity.
