July 11 – Not Just a Day of Remembrance, but a Day of Renewed Commitment to Workers' Struggles.Some dates in the history of the Indian labour movement are far more than mere calendar entries. They symbolize generations of sacrifice, collective struggle, solidarity, and the relentless pursuit of democratic rights. July 11 is one such historic milestone.
The 1946 strike by Central Government employees against British colonial rule and the 1960 nationwide strike by lakhs of Central Government employees for a living wage, dearness allowance, and dignity at work stand as two glorious chapters in India's labour movement. Together, they remind us of one enduring truth: rights are never gifted by those in power; they are won only through united and organised struggle.
As we observe "Struggle Remembrance Day" on July 11, 2026, remembering the past alone is not enough. We must reflect on why these struggles took place, the circumstances that gave rise to them, the lessons they left behind, and what today's generation must learn from them. We must also understand how today's challenges differ from those of the past.
The 1946 strike was not merely an economic protest against British rule. It reflected the historic role of workers in India's freedom movement. Postal employees and other lower-grade government staff fought not only for better wages and working conditions but also aligned their struggle with the nation's aspiration for independence. Despite arrests, suspensions, intimidation, and repression, the British administration failed to break workers' unity. The movement instilled confidence and courage among workers across the country.
After Independence, people believed governments would work for the welfare of employees and ensure social justice. However, rising prices, stagnant wages, and inadequate dearness allowance soon shattered those expectations. This led to the historic 1960 nationwide strike, when Central Government, Railway, and Defence employees united to demand a Need-Based Minimum Wage, Dearness Allowance linked to the Cost of Living Index, and dignity in service.
Thousands of employees were arrested, suspended, dismissed, and prosecuted. Yet the movement never retreated. It demonstrated the immense strength of organised labour and compelled the government to acknowledge workers' collective power.
The success of both these historic struggles was not due to individual leaders or speeches, but because of unity. Despite ideological and political differences, unions stood together for the common cause of employees. Permanent employment was widespread, unions were strong, workers trusted their organisations, and they were prepared to make sacrifices. Ultimately, governments were forced to negotiate.
Today's situation is vastly different. It is not that employees have lost the willingness to struggle; rather, policies have deliberately weakened their capacity to do so. Permanent recruitment has increasingly been replaced by contract, outsourcing, fixed-term, and gig employment, fragmenting the workforce. Employees performing identical work often receive different wages, enjoy different rights, and face varying levels of job security. A permanent employee risks losing pay during a strike, while a contract worker risks losing employment itself. Governments and employers knowingly exploit this fear.
One of the greatest challenges facing workers today is the implementation of neo-liberal economic policies. The weakening and privatisation of the public sector, along with opening key services to corporate interests, are being pursued in the name of development. Railways, Postal Services, Banking, Insurance, Defence, Power, Telecommunications, and other public services are increasingly witnessing reduced government participation and expanding corporate control. This affects not only employees but also the quality, accessibility, and social responsibility of essential public services.
Another major concern is the replacement of 29 long-standing labour laws with four new Labour Codes. While these are presented as reforms, trade unions argue that they weaken workers' rights by imposing restrictions on the right to strike, limiting union activities, granting greater flexibility to employers, and reducing job security.
At the same time, the social security framework for government employees is undergoing significant change. Pension, once regarded as a guarantee of dignity and security in old age, is increasingly linked to market-based systems, creating widespread concerns about financial uncertainty after retirement. This raises a fundamental question: Should retirement security be the responsibility of the State, or should it depend on market performance?
These developments cannot be viewed in isolation. Privatisation, contractualisation, labour law changes, pension reforms, and the weakening of the public sector are all interconnected elements of the same economic policy. Trade unions believe these policies aim to reduce labour costs, maximise corporate profits, and gradually withdraw the State from its social responsibilities.
Therefore, today's labour movement cannot remain confined to wage-related demands alone. It must evolve into a broader movement defending constitutional labour rights, social security, public sector institutions, and democratic values.
However, rebuilding struggles today is more challenging than in the past. Fear of unemployment, increasing job insecurity, divisions among trade unions, and political influences have weakened collective action. The only effective response is broader unity. Permanent employees, contract workers, outsourced staff, scheme workers, unorganised labour, and pensioners must unite on a common platform as never before.
It is equally important to educate the younger generation about the struggles of 1946 and 1960. Rights such as the eight-hour workday, dearness allowance, pensions, leave, and trade union recognition were never voluntarily granted by governments. Every one of these rights was earned through imprisonment, dismissals, sacrifice, hardship, sweat, and even blood. A generation unaware of this history cannot truly value its rights.
Therefore, July 11 should not merely be observed as a day of remembrance but as a Day of Awareness, Renewal, and Preparation for Future Struggles. Every workplace should discuss the history of workers' movements. Every union should organise and inspire the younger generation. Every employee should learn to view individual problems as collective concerns, because no one can safeguard workers' rights alone—only organised unity can.
The 1946 strike taught us the responsibility of the working class in India's freedom struggle. The 1960 strike taught us that the fight for rights continues even after political independence. The year 2026 teaches us that the attacks on labour have merely changed their form—they now come through privatisation, contractualisation, labour law changes, and pension reforms. Accordingly, our methods of struggle must also evolve. Unity must become broader, and movements stronger and more inclusive.
History has repeatedly shown that no ruling class has ever voluntarily surrendered rights. Governments have yielded only before organised people's movements. Thus, July 11 is not merely a reminder of the past—it is a guide for the future. The truest tribute to the sacrifices of earlier generations is to organise today's workers in defence of labour rights, democratic values, public sector institutions, and social justice.

This editorial addresses the topic: "The new digital slavery needs constitutional guardrails."Constitutional Safeguards Needed Against Digital Slavery
In today's world, Artificial Intelligence (AI), social media, and digital platforms have reached a stage where they significantly influence people's thoughts, opinions, and behaviors. The author warns that the widespread collection of personal data—and its use to sway our decisions—is evolving into a new form of "digital slavery."
Key Points:
The misuse of personal data poses a threat to democracy and individual liberty.
AI-driven algorithms carry the risk of amplifying misinformation, hate speech, and social divisions.
There is a growing potential for digital platforms to be misused to influence democratic systems and elections.
Technological advancement need not be halted; however, strict laws and constitutional safeguards are essential to protect people's rights.
AI systems must operate with transparency and accountability. Priority must be given to constitutional rights such as citizen privacy, freedom of expression, and equality.
It is the responsibility of governments to uphold individual liberty, dignity, and democratic values within the digital realm as well.
Summary: Technology should serve to improve human life; it must not become a tool for controlling humanity. That is why constitutional safeguards and transparent regulations for AI and digital platforms are essential.
