The struggle of the MSWU is not simply a revival of the trade union movement at one of its bleakest moments in history. It is an awakening of an entire new generation of workers that dares to question the coercion and violence of capitalist development. The Haryana government’s response to these just demands with such brutal violence and arrests has made criminals of workers who make the cars the privileged drive and whose back-breaking labour contributes to the national hysteria of “growth”. It is precisely at this time that the Constitution can be shaken and rattled to see if there remains today any vestige of rights for workers and citizens who question global capital. And the state’s cowardice is actually the response of corporate India in sheer panic. There is no impending macroeconomic crisis; this is the crisis.
