FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

We are happy to bring out this thirteenth volume of the Departmental journal, Journal of Political Studies. We apologise for the delay in bringing out this volume but hope to have wider readership nevertheless. The diversity of the themes is a distinctive aspect of this volume, so is the coming together of scholars and researchers. We are not satisfied with the copy editing however as the publication could not be delayed any further. Hope this issue will reflect the current state of interdisciplinary research.

    Workers’ Resistances in the Indian Railways and the General Strike of May 1974
    (University of North Bengal, 2017) Choudhury, Sanghamitra
    Indian Railways has always been a significant factor in regulating the economic and political life of the Indians. Indian Railways might not have any revolutionary effect on people’s life but since independence it has become an enormously big industrial sector and popularly is branded as heart and life blood of the nation. Therefore, a strike of long twenty days in May 1974 halted the economic, social and political pace of the country. This study is an attempt to examine the reasons behind the grievances and resentments of the railwaymen in India. It observes the preparation of the trade unions for launching an indefinite strike and the situation existed during the days of the struggle. It also intends to enquire the attitude of the State in dealing with the railway workers’ movement in 1974.
