Resource extraction and conflicts over natural resources are a
global phenomenon, including in India. This book explores the
process of state formation through developmental intervention in
the resource-rich areas of Jharkhand in eastern India which are
inhabited by the indigenous Ho community. The cultural practices
and livelihoods of Indigenous tribes, like the Ho community in
Jharkhand, are deeply linked with the local ecology. The conflict
in Jharkhand is intertwined with state development projects and
capitalist interventions. This book examines the history of these
projects and the issues of territorialisation, dispossession,
accumulation, and marginalization which communities have been
fighting against for many decades. It examines the process of
development policies and projects shaping and restructuring the
resource-rich ecology in the region and addresses the interrelated
issues of development-induced dispossession, resistance, ecological
transformation, governance, illegalities, and state-building. It
focuses on the questions: what do development projects bring to the
Ho community; what induces them to resist and negotiate; and how
state decentralization schemes and local governance in resource
conflict areas strengthen State capacities? The book highlights the
consequences on the livelihoods and cultural practices of the local
people because of ecological transformation and everyday
resistance. Comprehensive and important, this book will be of
interest to students and researchers of anthropology, sociology,
political ecology, social work, development studies, ecology,
developmental sociology, indigenous studies, law, and economic
anthropology.
