Description
From the factory gates of Kochi to the portals of the Indian Parliament and Supreme Court and many forums of the International Labour Organization (ILO), A LIFE IN STRUGGLE chronicles Thampan Thomas’s six-decade-long crusade as a trade unionist, lawyer, parliamentarian, and democratic socialist. At once intimate and clear-eyed, this sweeping memoir gives deep insights into the vicissitudes of the Indian socialist movement, the many fierce battles waged across India for workers’ rights, and the enduring triumphs and tragedies of Indian democracy.
