520			_aThe life of Basvant Giryappa Kamble (1938–2013), a Dalit textile worker in Mumbai’s Girangaon—mill district—is examined to highlight the intersection of caste and class in the labour movement. Kamble’s trajectory—from bonded labour in rural Kolhapur to organised mill work—illustrates both economic mobility and persistent caste oppression. The 1982–83 textile strike, the after-effects of which disproportionately devastated Dalit workers, underscores how caste discrimination shaped their struggles within mills and neighbourhoods, marking their experience as distinct from dominant caste workers.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/millworkers-strike-1982-83-and-its-aftermath/voices-shadows.html
