On this Independence Day of India, the Indian Workers Association Great Britain extends its warmest greetings to the diaspora and working-class communities worldwide, honoring the courageous sacrifices of those who fought for a free and democratic India.

We recall the pain of partition of Punjab and Bengal. Sir Cyril Radcliffe chaired the boundary commissions that drew the Radcliffe Line in 1947. This line partitioned British India into India and Pakistan in just five weeks. Radcliffe had never visited India before, left immediately after finishing, and his rushed map led to 14 million people being displaced and communal violence with the loss of two million lives.

As we mark this historic milestone, we reaffirm our unyielding commitment to defending the foundational values of the Indian Republic. True independence cannot exist without safeguarding the Indian Constitution, which guarantees justice, secularism, and equality for all. We stand united in advocating for the social and economic welfare of the working class and marginalized communities, ensuring that the dignity of labor and the promise of equal opportunity remain at the forefront of national progress.

A thriving democracy relies on the protection of fundamental citizens' rights and the preservation of crucial spaces for peaceful dissent. Freedom of speech, the right to assembly, and constructive critique are essential safeguards that keep democratic institutions accountable and strong. On this day, we call upon all communities to unite in protecting these constitutional freedoms against any attempt to dilute them, ensuring that every citizen regardless of the diverse background can live with safety, dignity, and voice in a truly inclusive society.

"Standing where he was executed, we remember a martyr whose ultimate sacrifice for justice and equality continues to inspire resistance across the globe."

Sardar Shaheed Udham Singh✊🏼✊🏼

01/08/2026

Members of the Indian Workers' Association (GB) and SFI (UK) came together to pay homage to the immortal martyr, Shaheed Udham Singh, in front of HM Prison Pentonville, London, where he was executed by the British colonial state on 31 July 1940.

Standing at the very place where the British colonial state attempted to silence a revolutionary, a man was remembered whose courage and sacrifice became a symbol of the struggle against imperialism and injustice. Udham Singh's life reminds us that the fight for freedom was built on extraordinary acts of resistance and an unwavering commitment to justice.

The tribute was not only a remembrance of history but also a reaffirmation of our commitment to the values for which he gave his life,anti-imperialism, equality, secularism and solidarity with oppressed people everywhere.
In a poignant moment remembering the barbarity of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of 1919, the observers at the vigil renewed their pledge to continue to press the demand for a formal apology by the serving Prime Minister and for teaching British Colonial history.

The memorial programme was chaired by IWA (GB) President, Com. Harsev Bains. Com. Vishal addressed the gathering on behalf of SFI (UK), and Com. Aswathi Asok spoke on behalf of the IWA (GB) National Committee. Comrade Balbir Singh Johal the General Secretary of IWA GB (from Woolwich) and members of the Progressive Writers’ Association added their tributes.
Jonathan a member of Your Party provided a solidarity message.

May the memory of Shaheed Udham Singh continue to inspire the struggles of working people, students, and all progressive forces in India, the UK and across the globe.

Shaheed Udham Singh Amar Rahe! Inquilab Zindabad!

Clarification:
Dear friends ,
The Indian Workers’ Association GB (1938) will be joining with other organisations in a static protest at Trafalgar Square London on Sunday 26 July from 3:00 pm, along with SFI UK and other organisations in solidarity with students in India.

The IWA GB will NOT be participating in the proposed march at 4 30pm and will continue the static protest as planned.

A poster has been released without our input stating otherwise. Any confusion is regretted.
Unity is strength for the students worker alliance.

Justice for Kirandeep Kaur. Stronger Protections for Our Community.

The Indian Workers' Association (IWA-GB) is deeply shocked and devastated by the brutal murder of Indian student Kirandeep Kaur in West London. Today, hundreds from the community gathered for a peaceful candlelight vigil to pay their respects, lay flowers, and stand in firm solidarity with Kirandeep’s grieving family.
Speaking at the vigil alongside MP John McDonnell, our National President, Com. Harsev Bains, raised serious concerns over the rising attacks on Indians in the UK. We are demanding immediate, stronger safeguarding measures for international students and workers.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the family so far—over £45,000 has been raised to date. We must remain united, support one another, and refuse to stay silent.

The Derby Branch of the Indian Workers' Association (IWA-GB) was proud to participate in the Derby Silk Mill Festival, joining the local community in commemorating the historic Silk Trades Lock-Out of 1833–34.

The festival remembers one of the most significant early struggles in Britain’s labour history, when hundreds of silk workers in Derby were locked out after resisting wage cuts and defending their right to organise. The dispute, which spread across multiple mills and involved thousands of workers, became a defining moment in the early development of trade unionism and working-class solidarity in Britain.

As an organisation committed to workers’ rights, dignity, and solidarity, the IWA GB is honoured to stand in remembrance of this important history. We pay tribute to the courage and resilience of the Derby silk workers whose struggle continues to inspire working-class movements and broader struggles for fairness and justice today.

We salute the organisers, trade unions, and community groups for keeping this history alive and meaningful through the festival.
