Analyzes the social, political, and economic context in which Indian development projects are implemented and the consequences for people displaced by such projects. Using as its basis the experience of six major projects attempted since independence, the text assesses the role of the state, international agencies, and the private industrial sector in promoting or failing to promote the interests of vulnerable populations such as landless peasants, tribal people, women, and children. The author finds that practice and ideology are interrelated in the application of development projects and explores how this affects the character of resettlement and rehabilitation policies.
