This session will examine how India’s economic, development and land acquisition policies have increasingly paved the way for aggressive corporate capitalism in its extractivist, agricultural and related industries, with scaling back of labour rights. Understanding the wider neoliberal turn in India’s economic and development polices is important to fully grasp the significance of the capitalist land grab in Adivasi regions, the people’s resistance to this looting and violent repression by the state of all forms of resistance, and for building extensive and fruitful solidarity between all struggles against the ruling state-corporate nexus.
