“…In Rourkela and its surrounding villages, adivasis constituted more than two-thirds of the population. Thus, the construction of the steel plant and the Mandira dam largely displaced the adivasi population (Strümpell, 2012). To assess the impact of this forced displacement on them, data were collected through a field survey conducted in Jhirpani (a peri-urban resettlement colony), Bisra Block, and in Jaydega (a rural resettlement colony), Kuarmunda Block, of Sundargarh district, Odisha.…”

This paper analyses the long-term impact of displacement by assessing the impoverishment risks among the displaced adivasi population of Rourkela resettled in peri-urban and rural resettlement colonies. The study ascertains that even after six decades of displacement, adivasis in both resettlement colonies continue to face such risks, however, to a different degree according to where they were resettled. Joblessness has been a common risk among them, and it seems central to all other risks. Moreover, the persistence of these impoverishment risks among them is attributed to the violation of constitutional provisions and unfulfilled promises during and post-displacement period.

The pace of industrial and allied infrastructure development in India is encumbered by scarcity in the supply of land. As a result, the state in India has frequently resorted to expropriation of land through conversion of land away from its traditional uses and through displacement of communities. Consequently, land acquisition in the country is mired in disputes over human rights and environmental rights violations. In the face of continued political support for infrastructure-led development in India, those who stand to lose their land have often resorted to judicial recourse for pressing their rights. This article draws on empirical evidence from court cases related to two urban development projects in the states of Karnataka and Kerala to examine how courts have responded to the question of violation of land rights and appeals against land acquisition for the two projects. The author argues that the courts, while responding to the claims against the two projects, have refrained from holding the implementing agencies or the state governments accountable even in cases where there were recognizable incidents of malfeasance. The article illustrates that the inability of the courts to confront the state lends a tacit assent to the development agenda of the state.I am grateful to Glyn Williams, Louise Tillin, Nikita Sud, Sunil Mitra Kumar and three anonymous reviewers for their comments on an earlier version of the article. Needless to say, all errors and omissions are mine.Development and Change 50(4):
