Na última sexta, dia 2, dez centrais sindicais da Índia chamaram greve geral de 24 horas por todo o país. Estima-se que 180 milhões de trabalhadores cruzaram os braços. Milhares de indústrias metalúrgicas, mineradoras, transformação, construção, setores de energia, transporte, telecomunicações, bancos e funcionalismo público paralisaram contra a deterioração das condições de vida, contra a inflação, a favor do aumento do salário mínimo (hoje a média é de 4800 rúpias indianas, equivalente a 234 reais), por melhores condições de trabalho e contra os ataques do governo Narendra Modi.

Menos de 4% dos trabalhadores indianos estão sob a proteção dos direitos trabalhistas. O nível de consumo dos trabalhadores rurais caiu para o nível de 1975 devido a inflação dos alimentos. O desemprego urbano chegou a 11,24% e o desemprego rural a 9,18% em agosto, em um país com cerca de 1,250 bilhão de pessoas (2013).

Os trabalhadores se levantam contra os ataques dos patrões e governo.

Para termos uma pequena visão da amplitude desta movimentação do proletariado indiano, vejamos a lista (em inglês) de empresas situadas na área industrial de Gurgaon, nas proximidades de Nova Delhi, que, segundo o secretário-geral do Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), foi completamente paralisada na greve geral:
