      ab: The article is about politics related to labor rights in Bengal, India from 1890 to 1939. In Bengal during this time period, people were divided between Hindus and Muslims, and there was frequent rioting in industrial communities. However, these groups were often able to unite to form labor unions and engage in labor politics. Their ability to unite in spite of their many social, class, religious, and language differences is attributed to their shared interests in their workplace. When fundamental rights were violated in the workplace, alliances would form that ignored natal ties and social differences.
