Unveiling the Shadows of Empire
How did colonial powers shape labor laws in Australia and India from 1850 to 1950? Prakhar Ganguly's research project explores the intertwining legal landscapes of factories and unions in these distant colonies. He investigates the unique paths of legal transplantation, the clash of cultures, and the lasting impacts of colonial rule on labor regulation. From the gold rush to the gavels of justice, he seeks to uncover the shared histories and divergent destinies of two nations under the British Empire.
