Uncover the deep-rooted conflicts between Adivasi communities, migrants, and the Indian state. This critical study examines resource scarcity, dispossession, and the socio-economic origins of Naxalite politics, drawing vital lessons from the Dandakaranya project. Essential for students and researchers of Indian politics, sociology, and cultural studies, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the marginalization of indigenous peoples and the state’s role in shaping these dynamics.
