ABSTRACT:
This paper is a reflection of the current development practices that have occurred post-adoption of the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) scheme across pan-India. The authors try to put forth the argument how development induced dispossession has the severest impact on the myriad incarnations that are handmaids of class inequality, caste biasness and patriarchal dominance in the light of the new economic policy. Thus, what we have experienced is a very mixed picture of development that has further widened the gaps between haves and the have nots. This paper uses both qualitative and quantitative tools of data collection along with an evidence-based policy approach in trying to understand the ground reality with respect to the displacement of the Ho-Munda Tribal Community in the Jajapur District of Odisha. It concludes with the idea that though economic growth and advancement are important goals of nation building yet the policies adopted have raised crucial questions related to exclusion, inequalities and violation of human rights.
Keywords: Development, Displacement, Dispossession, Accumulation, Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Common Property Resources (CPRs) and Exclusion
