Why has India's astonishing economic growth not reached the people
at the bottom of its social and economic hierarchy? Travelling the
length and breadth of the subcontinent, this book shows how India's
'untouchables' and 'tribals' fit into the global economy. India's
Dalit and Adivasi communities make up a staggering one in
twenty-five people across the globe and yet they remain amongst the
most oppressed. Conceived in dialogue with economists, Ground Down
by Growth reveals the impact of global capitalism on their lives.
It shows how capitalism entrenches, rather than erases, social
difference and has transformed traditional forms of identity-based
discrimination into new mechanisms of exploitation and oppression.
Through studies of the working poor, migrant labour and the
conjugated oppression of caste, tribe, region, gender and class
relations, the social inequalities generated by capitalism are
exposed.
