Despite the gradual abolition of indentured labour, the contract system that took its place, perpetuated the workers' exploitation, albeit in a different manner.  Free labour would arrive only with independence.  Independence would also see the formation of the first labour organisations, the end of long-distance recruitment and also released the long-suffering smallholder from any restraints on production and land use. - Reproduced  aEmployment - South East Asia  aLabour - South East Asia  aConditions of employment - South East Asia  aConditions of employment  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a47862  c47862d47862  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 36, Issue no: 10pAR48290r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
