<br/><br/> Tea is considered as one of the oldest industries in India. Among the four major tea producing states (West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Assam), the name of Assam is prominent. The tea cultivation in Assam has a very long history. Most of the tea garden workers were brought from the midnineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century from the tribal heartlands of Central-Eastern India as indentured labourers. The conditions of the most of the tea garden workers of Assam are very dissatisfactory until today. This study explores the socio-economic conditions of tea garden workers in the various tea estates of the Biswanath district of Assam. – Reproduced
