On International Workers' Day, we take a look at the state of workers' rights and freedoms in India, where pressure on fuel supplies from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has deepened the cost-of-living crisis and labor unrest is on the rise. In mid-April, tens of thousands of workers from the industrial hubs around New Delhi blocked roads to demand a fair wage and better working conditions.
"Various governments in India and the central government have been trying to dilute labor laws," says Neha Dixit, an investigative journalist and author based in New Delhi. "And there have been constant protests and strikes against this."
Dixit's new book is The Many Lives of Syeda X: A People's History of Invisible India.
