India's 2025 labor draft cites ancient text Manusmriti, sparking backlash over regressive ideals, while promoting dignity of work and modern reforms.
India’s draft Shram Shakti Niti 2025 labor policy, released October 8, has drawn criticism for citing the ancient Manusmriti as a moral foundation for labor governance, with Congress leader Jairam Ramesh calling it a move toward regressive, RSS-aligned ideologies.
The policy, aiming for a fair and future-ready labor system by 2047, emphasizes srama dharma—dignity of work—and integrates historical concepts like guilds and fair wages with modern frameworks.
It promotes cooperative federalism, digital transparency, and unified social security.
Public feedback was accepted until October 27, and the draft is available on government portals.
