Answer:

In the latter half of the 19th century, textile mills, railway companies, and such industries were started in India. The worker's group had not aroused on large scale but in this period efforts were made to solve the problems of the workers. Sashipada Banerjee and Narayan Meghaji Lokhande organized the workers at the local level. Lokhande’s contribution to the working-class movement was so valuable that he is described as the ‘Father of Indian Workers Movement’.

At the same time, an agitation was launched against the wretched condition of the tea plantation workers in Assam. In 1899, the Great Indian Peninsular (GIP) Railway workers called for a strike for their demands. During the anti-partition movement, workers carried out strikes from time to time in support of Swadeshi. After the First World War, due to industrialization, there was a rise of worker class in India, and then a necessity for nationwide worker union was felt. In 1920, the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) was established. N.M.Joshi had a major role in the working of AITUC. Lala Lajpat Rai was the President of the first session of AITUC. He told the workers to actively participate in the national movement.

In 1928, the Mumbai Mill Workers Union went on strike for six months. Many such strikes were made by the Railway workers, jute mill workers, etc. The government was disturbed to see the growing strength of the worker's movement. To suppress this movement, legislation was made. The workers’ struggle proved to be supportive of the national movement.
