Some Aspects of Labour History of Bengal in the Nineteenth Century
Two Views
Part of the 'Occasional Papers' series of CSSSC, this essay is a brief, and sharply posed, exchange between Dipesh Chakrabarty and Ranajit Das Gupta on working class consciousness in Bengal. it posits that this consciousness is not a mechanical outcome of the capitalist mode of production, it is not a thing but a process; that even failure must be taken on board in order to flesh out that process; that not only was the working class present (and therefore conscious)
of its own making, but drew from rich pre-capitalist cultural traditions of dissent, rebellion and republicanism.
