ABSTRACT | ||
In Spreading labour consciousness throughout the world progressive
Marxist thinkers such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin have
made significant contributions. In the 20th Century, two eminent
historians Eric Hobsbawm and E. P. Thompson have opened new avenues in the
exploration of labour history through their examination of the relationship
between labour and capital within the context of sociological practice.
Historians like Sanat Kumar Bose, Sukomal Sen, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Nirban Basu,
Amiya Kumar Bagchi, Subho Basu, Samita Sen and many other scholars have
approached the concept of labour consciousness in colonial India from a fresh
perspective. The organized movements of workers in Bengal played a crucial role
during the colonial period in addressing the imbalance of labour and capital in
society and class exploitation. The movements embodied the fight against
imperialism and capitalist exploitation, while also fostering the spirit of
nationalism. Renowned poets and literary figures in colonial Bengal depicted
the exploitation of workers by capitalists through their writings. The writings
of poets and writers of the contemporary period played a particularly
significant role in transmitting class exploitation and nationalism among the
workers. These thoughts of poets and writers on the working life and struggles
of sailors in Bengal viewed through the lens of labour consciousness became a
part of the fight against imperialist capital exploitation. | ||
