| dc.description.abstract | Indian labour politics today faces a historic paradox. On the one hand, in response to regressive changes to labour laws, India’s trade unions have continued to organise what is, after China, the world’s largest working-age population; on the other, massive labour protests have failed to make a dent in the political popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. To make sense of this apparent contradiction, this essay will outline the role of the Indian government in the formation of new labour law regulations since 2014, and the response of India’s trade unions to this new challenge. | en_AU |
