Social Tension and Politics of Development in Orissa (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The paper examines the interplay between social tension and the politics of development in Orissa, highlighting how recent protest movements against development projects are challenging state policies. It analyzes the shift in protest dynamics, especially in inland Orissa, where community ties have evolved, enabling more organized resistance against development-induced displacement and environmental concerns. The influence of the Maoist movement and religious conversion efforts in fostering social networks and collective identity among tribal groups is emphasized, illustrating the transformation from isolated protests to a more coordinated and powerful movement.
