People’s Union for Democratic Rights

A civil liberties and democratic rights organisation based in Delhi, India

Thirteen workers were burnt to death in a factory in south Delhi’s Tuglaqabad area on 25 January 2011. However, six months after the event, as this report goes to press, little has been done to compensate workers, let alone arrest those responsible for these deaths. This short report looks at the systemic inequalities that govern the lives (and deaths) of millions of dispossessed workers and the hugely unjust structure of the informal labour market in globalizing India.
