Abstract
As inequality is embedded in history and society, this paper provides a long term historical framework for the analysis of labour market inequality in India. Inequality depends on forces and factors at different levels, local, national, or international, either directly – through the mechanisms of globalization – or indirectly, in the ideas, models and theories that set the global stage and eventually influence national behaviour. The role of these factors and their intersection is examined as part of a longer term historical process that shapes economies, labour markets and labour institutions, and so determines the pattern of inequality.
