    The history of the Indian circus is more or less the memories and memorabilia of the circus community. They have been my primary sources while researching the history of the circus in the subcontinent. It is as if they have been creating ‘an archive of one’s own’. In this presentation we would be looking at some significant attempts in unionizing the circus workers, gleaned from hitherto unexplored archives. I will speak about the formation of Akhil Bharat Circus Karmachari Sangh organized during 1960s and also a circus company of their own, Akhil Bharat Circus. Although the circus figures in the common sense as a place of extreme exploitation it is hard to find circus workers’ unions in the official histories of labor movements in India. This is quite startling since circuses flourished in North Malabar along with the Communist movement and trade unions in the first half of the 20th century.

    Battles in Tents: Tales of Labour from the Indian


    Circus
    ABSTRACT:

    The history of the Indian circus is more or less the memories and memorabilia of the circus
    community. They have been my primary sources while researching the history of the circus in the
    subcontinent. It is as if they have been creating ‘an archive of one’s own’. In this presentation we
    would be looking at some significant attempts in unionizing the circus workers, gleaned from
    hitherto unexplored archives. I will speak about the formation of Akhil Bharat Circus Karmachari
    Sangh organized during 1960s and also a circus company of their own, Akhil Bharat Circus.
    Although the circus figures in the common sense as a place of extreme exploitation it is hard to
    find circus workers’ unions in the official histories of labor movements in India. This is quite
    startling since circuses flourished in North Malabar along with the Communist movement and
    trade unions in the first half of the 20th century.
