Question
Write an essay on 'circulation of labour'.
✓

Answer

Circulation of labour is –
  • There was demand for seasonal agricultural labour in prosperous agricultural regions.
  • The higher wages of these regions attracted the labour from less developed region.
  • Migrant labour mainly comes from drought prone areas and less productive regions. They were referred to as “footloose labour”.
  • They were preferred over the “local working class” since they were cheaper and could be easily exploited.
  • This caused the local landless labourers to move to other areas in search of livelihood.

The harsh working conditions suffered by labourers in Aghanbigha were an outcome of the combined effect of the economic power of the maliks as a class and their overwhelming power as members of a dominant caste. A significant aspect of the social power of the maliks was their ability to secure the intervention of various arms of the state to advance their interests. Thus, political factors decissively contributed to widening the gulf between the dominant class and the underclass.
