This volume is about the emerging development trajectories of rural
labour relations in India, based on studies from its regions and
states. its overarching theme is the rural class conflict and the
results of such conflict, and the link between this and the nature
and impact of state intervention. Vigorous emancipatory processes
are identified, and the limitations of and contradictions inherent
in such processes are examined. Both powerful general trends and
significant regional variations are distinguished.
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.
