Santosh Kumari Gupta and the jute trade union movement of Bengal in the early 1920s- revisiting history
Author(s): Arunima Ray Chowdhury
Abstract: This paper has tried to place itself in the context of socio-political changes in the early 20th century colonial India when national consciousness was gaining momentum. A number of mass movements were initiated under the moderate and the extremist leaderships by the Indian National Congress. Efforts were made to organize the peasantry and the working class especially in Bengal and Maharashtra. The participation of a handful of women leaders in the working class movement was significant. My study is to focus on the leadership role played by Santosh Kumari Devi in the Bengal jute trade union movement in the early 1920s. The paper tries to analyse Santosh Kumari Gupta’s role in the working class movement of Bengal especially among the jute workers soon after the formation of All India Trade Union Congress in 1920.
