Tribal land alienation and Adivasis' struggle for autonomy: The case of Bhadrachalam Scheduled Area, Telangana, India
Based on a case study of the Bhadrachalam Scheduled Area of Telangana, this article argues that the Adivasis of Central India seek autonomy as a response to their dispossession and to the accumulation of capital taking place in their resource-rich territories. The two main factors that have curtailed Adivasi autonomy through land alienation are analysed. The first is a process of agricultural colonization, wherein settlers belonging to agrarian d…
Caste Dominance and Territory in South India: Understanding Kammas' socio-spatial mobility

Questioning the Role of the Indian Administrative Service in National Integration
After Independence, the Indian Administrative Service was expected to promote national integration, from a social as well as a spatial point of view. Yet, despite the reservation policy, this elite body lacks representativeness. The partisanship of IAS officers along caste, religious and ethnic lines has further reduced their efficiency as a binding force of the nation. Being an All-India Service, the IAS encourages the spatial mobility of its me…
Ans d’Union Indienne
After 60 years of Independence, India is projecting herself as a symbol of « unity in diversity ». Though the democratic institutions, the developmental efforts and the policy of reservations have promoted national integration, the rhetoric of Indian unity, rooted in the freedom movement, tends to ignore the factors of divisiveness created by social and regional inequality. Ethnic, religious and caste identities, which are used for partisan ends,…
