Abstract

This article analyses the impact of recent modernisation-led development on rural communities, emphasising particularly their loss of land and of access to common land. Displacement of rural communities from their natural habitats results in a host of socio-economic impacts. This study will focus mainly on farmers and tribal communities in India - as to how they have been affected by the modernisation process, especially since the adoption of neoliberal economic reforms in the early 1990s. The paper argues that the process of displacement has been accelerated due to the expansion of mining, infrastructure and industrial projects. The study finds that the displacement has led to impoverishment, marginalisation and social disarticulation of rural communities. It concludes that development policies should be more inclusive and sensitive to the needs of displaced communities.
