Environmental Concerns and Sustainable Development
At the dawn of this 21st century, environmental concerns have received utmost attention from all segments of human society. The extreme abuse of nature and ruthless hunt for material happiness are the reasons for post-enlightenment destruction of the environment. Many consider the issues related to environmental degradation as an †̃environmental crisis'. During the last century, humans have been exploiting nature not merely for need but also for greed. Environmentally-concerned individuals call for immediate action to stop being greedy and act positively. In India too this environmental awareness is fast spreading and the Honourable Supreme Court of India has directed the Central and state governments to introduce courses regarding environmental issues at all levels of education. This book is a compilation of research results pertaining to development, environment, and sustainable development in the form of articles.
Land Acquisition and Tribal Development in Neoliberal Eastern India
This book discusses the impact of land grabbing and associated displacement in the name of development in India. It also analyses the prevailing land acquisition laws which are used to uproot the tribal people from their homes and livelihoods. The book reveals the causes of displacement and highlights the subsequent impoverishment, joblessness and trauma, with special reference to the states of Odisha and Jharkhand. The book is based on an in-depth field study conducted in the tribal populated areas of the two states. It has a special focus on the tribal women who bear the brunt of displacement and lose their autonomy in becoming migrant labourers. Policy makers, law practitioners, development analysts, historians, environmentalists, political scientists, sociologists and administrators will find the book useful, as it deals with the rehabilitation and resettlement programs and policies related to development-induced displacement.

Sociology of Displacement
This volume contains an assortment of papers written by eminent activists, administrators, and scholars from India on development-induced displacement of indigenous people from their lands and livelihoods. Using a Bordieuxian framework to understand the economics of development from a sociological perspective, the book explores the type of society that India seems to be pursuing, where sections of the country's population need to be cast aside to make way for others. The conclusion drawn is not how the various social groups respond to displacement, but how India's society as a whole seems eager to use a developmentalist paradigm despite being fully aware of the inequalities and marginalization that such paradigms create.
