Industrial working class has not been a homogenous class for the reason that people of different castes, communities, ethnic groups, religious beliefs with different languages and regions come to work in factories, where every one find the other a total stranger. It is difficult for them to confide in the fellow workers. The result is that the Indian labour force is sharply divided between 'high class' and 'low class', ' skilled ' and ' un skilled ', ' southerner ' and ' northener' ' hindus ' and ' muslims ', ' bengali ' or ' gujrati '. this artificial division has affected the collective bargaining capacity of the workers in the absebse of oneness. Atmosphere has not yet fully developed for what one may call vertical organisation in which all elements could stand together in a collective barganing effort to force improvement in wages and hours and conditions of work. Even a rather good trade union has not proved very effective with relation to basics economic problems of labours.
