In a momentous event for all workers around the world, this week around 150 million workers in India staged a nationwide general strike. These actions have been by far the biggest coordinated industrial mobilisation by workers in the history of capitalism. Indian workers were protesting against proposed laws that would weaken their ability to organise, continuing privatisation plans and an increase of the minimum wage across the board. This strike has shown the continued militancy and organisation of the Indian working class and its success resonated around the world.
