Undoing Historical Injustice
This chapter describes the genesis and potential of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) 2006. It begins by tracing the historical processes by which common forested landscapes customarily used by communities for multiple functions were classified as unifunctional 'national' forests, both before and after independence. While the overall forest reservation process often ignored the presence, occupation and complexity of forest use by diverse forest dwellin…
Empowerment and Disempowerment of Forest Women in Uttarakhand, India
Empowering women of forest based societies to participate in local forest management has become an essential rhetorical commitment of donor funded ’participatory’ forestry projects and state policies for devolution of forest management. Instead of increasing women’s empowerment, the top-down interventions of a World Bank funded forestry project in Uttarakhand are doing the opposite by disrupting and marginalizing their own struggles and achieveme…
Fiber grass from forest land
For more than a century in India, rural communities and government forest departments have struggled over the control of forest resources. State bureaucracies have prevailed in circles of law and political power in their attempt to dominate nearly one‐quarter of India's land area, but forest villages, because of their traditional rights, number, and proximity, have maintained their position as the principle resource user. This case study provides…
Regenerating India's Forests
Among its basic objectives, the Indian National Forest Policy, 1988, emphasizes ‘meeting the requirements of fuelwood, fodder, minor forest produce and small timber of the rural and tribal populations’ and ‘creating a massive people's movement, with the involvement of women, for achieving these objectives’. This represents a major step forward on previous policy which focused on management of forest for timber production, to the virtual exclusion…
Improved stoves, women and domestic energy
Improved stoves, women and domestic energy describes how an over-emphasis on energy saving stoves may hide the real causes of deforestation and fail to address the most pressing needs of poor women. Drawing from a case study in rural communities in southern Rajasthan, India, the paper shows how improved stoves often fail to meet women's needs and priorities and suggests that to achieve a more sustainable use of resources, these needs must be addr…
Chandigarh, in search of an identity
Urban Planning in the Third World. The Chandigarh Experience
Originally published in 1982 Urban Planning in the Third World is concerned with some of the critical issues underlying urban planning in the Third World. Taking the specific case of Chandigarh, planned or rather ‘designed’ by Le Corbusier as the new capital of Punjab following Partition, the author describes the development of the city, showing how concepts inherent in the master plan and the policies pursued in its implementation not merely ign…
