Written by a scholar-activist, who works for a voluntary organisation committed to justice for all, this book of 29 articles critically examines the impact of development on poverty-stricken and marginalised communities in the tribal regions particularly of Orissa. What emerges is that the so-called ‘development` has, instead of raising their economic and social status, impacted them adversely in several ways — it ruined their habitats; despoiled them of their resources; deprived them of their traditional rights; and pushed them into a state of serfdom.

Far from being the usual socialistic rhetoric against development, views such as these are backed by data culled from a variety of tribal contexts and personal observations made in slums, construction sites, malls and so on.
