Trade Unions in India - Spreading Wings

Abstract

The Year 2001 was probably one of the most eventful periods that the present inhabitants of this world had ever seen. It not only led the world into the next millenium but also brought about transformations into the world political and economic equations. The September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York and the retaliatory attack by the USA on Talibans diverted the world's attention on Afghanistan as well as on India and Pakistans. The following months witnessed not only the flow of the world's prominent leaders, including German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, into South Asia but also policy announcements influencing the region.
