Inhaltsangabe

What happens when development promises progress—but delivers displacement?

Displaced by Development is a bold and deeply human investigation into the hidden costs of India’s growth story, with a spotlight on Jharkhand—a state rich in natural resources and indigenous culture, yet plagued by poverty, inequality, and mass dispossession. This thought-provoking book unravels the paradox of how India's pursuit of industrialization and economic growth has displaced millions, especially Adivasis, Dalits, and small farmers, in the name of national progress.

Blending rigorous political economy analysis with rich fieldwork and personal insight, the book explores:

• Theoretical foundations of development and displacement

• Jharkhand's resource curse and historical injustices

• The lived experiences of displaced communities

• Resistance movements and grassroots resilience

• Policy gaps and global human rights frameworks

• A roadmap toward inclusive and just development

Written with empathy and analytical depth, Vivek Kumar Hind challenges conventional narratives and urges a radical rethinking of development that prioritizes dignity, rights, and sustainability over extraction and exclusion.

Whether you're a scholar, policymaker, activist, or concerned citizen, this book is an urgent call to ask: Who pays the price for progress? And how can development uplift without uprooting?
