It was one of the longest strikes in India's working class history and possibly the most decisive in terms of its impact on the textile industry and workers in. Bombay. The enormity of the strike can be seen by the number of workers who participated in it (almost 200,000) and by their collective effort to stay out of the mills Twentieth-century Mumbai became an industrial hub, with about 130 cotton textile mills, which didn’t just propel its own economy but also acted as a catalyst for economic growth elsewhere in the city. However, as the industry grew so did the grievances of mill workers, who were primarily migrants from villages around Maharastra and the rest of the country.Samant had previously organized successful efforts to dramatically increase the wages of workers in the automobile industry, and therefore was roped in by eager mill workers expecting a similar outcome. Soon, a massive strike was planned and finally called on January 18th, 1982 – over 250,000 workers went on strike, and some 50 mills had to suspend activities for over a year. However, with the textile mill industry already struggling to operate in the city, owners weren’t willing to give in to workers’ demands.
