Rural Labour Relations in IndiaT. J. Byres, Karin Kapadia, Jens Lerche Papers from the June 1997 workshop address emerging development trajectories of rural labor relations in India; specifically, they note the presence of rural class conflict and its result, and the relation of such conflict to the nature and impact of state intervention. The contributions identify some vigorous emancipatory processes and examine the limitations and contradictions inherent within them, distinguishing general trends and regional variations.
