Displaced by Development: The Political Economy of Jharkhand offers a critical, interdisciplinary examination of development-induced displacement in India, with a focus on the tribal heartland of Jharkhand. Drawing from political economy, rights-based frameworks, and extensive field research, Vivek Kumar Hind interrogates the structures of state power, corporate interests, and global capital that perpetuate dispossession among Adivasi and marginalized communities. The book challenges conventional development paradigms and articulates the urgent need for more inclusive, participatory, and sustainable alternatives. It is an essential contribution for scholars and students of development studies, political science, sociology, and South Asian studies.
