Title:	Forced labour in India : Trade Union Publication Series No. 4
Authors:	Chitnis, G. V.
Issue Date:	1954
Publisher:	All-India Trade Union Congress
Abstract:	The booklet looks at the ‘forced labour’ situation in India in 1954, repudiating the findings of the Ad-hoc Committee on forced labour (headed by Sir Ramaswamy Mudalair) appointed by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations that there were no forced labour camps in India. While forced labour has been banned under Indian law, this law has been delayed, and is not enforced in many areas. The booklet looks at forced labour in agriculture, forest areas, industry, plantations, mines, other industries, and Gorakhpuri labour; it also looks at reasons for, and worker and state action against forced labour.
