Informal Labour in Urban India

The book explores the impact of rapid economic growth in India, highlighting the reliance on informal labor in urban areas like Bangalore, Mumbai, and New Delhi. It critiques the uneven and combined development resulting from India's integration into the global economy, revealing a distorted urban landscape. By adopting a 'classes of labour' perspective, it emphasizes the plight of low-wage workers who face inadequate social protection and rights, challenging mainstream narratives about India's development trajectory.
