ter deal with the problem of pre-colonial vernacular historical traditions and what happens to them under modernity, make a conceptual distinction between the early modern and the colonial modern in South Asia. The early modern is not necessarily a 'period' with specific dates marking its beginning and end. It is preferable to use the term to characterize elements of thought or practice that have been identified as belonging to early modern historical formations in other regions of the world, thus providing, at least potentially, a comparative dimension with other modern histories. These early modern elements could appear in the South Asian historical evidence at any time from the fifteenth century to the present (assuming that the historical trajectory of postcolonial modernity is still incomplete). They may be found in diverse regions of South Asia, as innovative elements within traditional literary and cultural disciplines that question preciously held beliefs and practices, or that recognize their passing because of the unstoppable sway of the new, or that represent novel ways of comprehending or coping with the unfamiliar. They may arise at different social strata among elite groups or the literati, or among popular classes such as artisans and peasants.
The crucial historical point would be to distinguish such elements of the early modern from the recognizable components of the colonial modern. The latter might be dated from roughly 1830s, achieving is fully developed form in the historical period of the British Raj in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is in this period that the Indian economy acquires the form of a characteristically colonial economy. Politically, the British power is established as paramount all over the subcontinent - a violent process of warfare, conquest, suppression of rebellions, and unequal treaties - with associated consequences in terms of the symbols and practices of sovereignty and law, which bring about a profound transformation in the character of government and politics. Intellectually, the institutions of colonial education spread as the breeding ground of new cultural styles and movements that create the Indian middle classes and shape an entire range of nationalist responses to the colonial rule. The colonial modern has a recognized shape as a formation and a period in South Asian history. It also exerts the full weight of its dominance over all discussions of South Asian modernity after the middle of the nineteenth century.

studies explore how the constrained forms of migrant workers' self and household reproduction rely on a of racism. Our aim here is to shift the lens slightly, in order to show how their (complexly racialized and gendered) survival strategies figure in the global social reproduction of class. Theorizing first-order social reproduction of migrant workers, in particular the establishment of transnational households, as integral moments in the renewal of waged labour highlights the variegated forms in which capitalist social relations radically separate sites of production from sites of social reproduction. And precisely because this spatial rescaling occurs in and through a world that is segmented into hierarchically ordered nation-states policed by immigration and border regimes, we must conceive of the contemporary working class as formed in and through gendered and racialized relations. Such an approach can also clarify the ways in which racism and sexism are reproduced through global dynamics of dispossession and accumulation. In other words, a global social reproduction perspective facilitates an understanding of class in which dynamics of gender and race are internally related parts of a complex social whole.

Migrant workers' transnational households and networks, and the state policies supporting these, also institutionalize dramatically lower costs of social reproduction. Capital and the state in North America regularly draw from a pool of effectively 'cost free' labour power on whose past social reproduction they have not spent a dime. And because they deny or restrict migrant access to state resources and services, receiving nations also invest comparatively little in the current migrant workforce's ongoing regeneration. Undocumented workers, having the least access to resources, and being most vulnerable to criminalization and employer abuse, are generally the most cost-free workers. Yet legal migrants too, particularly those governed by seasonal and temporary worker programmes, have limited and uneven claims on social services. Working disproportionately in industries, such as agriculture, that typically fall outside regular labour protection laws, they are vulnerable to significant medical costs while largely deprived of basic employment standards around overtime, unionization and vacation pay. Domestic workers have had greater success in their quest for improved employment standards in recent years. Yet because they perform affective care work in private households, and are subject to hyper-personalized supervision, violations of those standards are not uncommon. Moreover, with transiency, secondary citizenship status and labour immobility built into their contracts, all migrants have little leverage when it comes to challenging these conditions of social reproduction.

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity."
