Alchemy of Inequity - Resistance and Repression in India's Mines

The authors are of the opinion that a large number of India's indigenous communities living especially in Jharkhand, Orissa and Chattisgarh, which account for 25% per cent of India's Adivasi population, though entitled to certain degree of protection under the Constitution, the Indian state has reneged its promises and robbed them of their lands and livelihoods in the name of nation-building. This book captures in images the starkness and poignancy of this terrible nightmare, of the mutilation of the human soul and defilement of nature, of the unconscionable abuse of state power and the amoral cupidity of finance capital.
