This book is a discourse on social impact assessment (SIA), an important tool for identifying and managing impacts of a development project. It provides an outlook on judicial, methodological and ethical complexities in SIA. The book also offers anthropological critique of SIA and collates experiences of practitioners and researchers from India, with the objective of sharpening SIA with redefined practices. Social Impact Assessment in India discusses direct and indirect impacts on project-affected people (displaced and relocated) and the role (ethical and financial) of funding agencies, including legalities and associated vulnerabilities. The strength of this book lies in its field-based approach revealing ground realities and the authors' reflections and insights on situations on the field, across different regions of India.
This book focuses on women’s human rights in India. Drawing on case studies, it provides a clear overview of the key sources on gender and rights in the country. Further, it contextualizes women’s rights at the critical intersection of caste, religion and class, and analyses barriers to the realization of women’s human rights in practice. It also develops strategies for moving forward towards greater recognition, protection, promotion and fulfilment of women’s human rights in India. Drawing on critical pedagogical tools to analyse groundbreaking court cases, this book will be a key text in human rights studies. It will be indispensable to students, scholars and researchers of gender studies, sociology, law and human rights.
