This study draws on extensive archival research to explore the
social history of industrial labor in colonial India through the
lens of well-being. Focusing on the cotton millworkers in Bombay in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the book moves
beyond trade union politics and examines the complex ways in which
the broader colonial society considered the subject of worker
well-being. As the author shows, worker well-being projects
unfolded in the contexts of British Empire, Indian nationalism,
extraordinary infant mortality, epidemic diseases, and uneven urban
development. Srivastava emphasizes that worker well-being
discourses and practices strove to reallocate resources and enhance
the productive and reproductive capacities of the nation's labor
power. She demonstrates how the built urban environment, colonial
local governance, public health policies, and deeply gendered local
and transnational voluntary reform programs affected worker
wellbeing practices and shaped working class lives.
