Mine closure policy and elusive just transition in a central Indian coalfield
Situates mine closure in land grabbing literature to show political land use choices. • Analyses mine closure policy and planning documents in India. • Investigates actual closure practices in Korba of central India. • Advocates for improved democratic participation in coal mine closure practices. • Provides policy recommendations to improve existing mine closure policy. Land dispossession due to industrial mining has formed an influential part o…
The Many Faces of Labouring and a “24 × 7” Union
The coal sector remains a significant provider of employment in coal-rich regions. Consequently the conundrum of the future of labour in a post-coal economy features in just transition narratives. Post-coal futures envisaged in policy documents tend to define “labour” as workers employed in the coal sector and aligned industries. Recommendations for labour focus on “reskilling” and on creating “green” jobs. This definition of labour, also articul…
Do you think that coal will finish?”
This article seeks to understand how experiences of coal extraction and use shape local perspectives on energy transitions. It does this by exploring community struggles over land and labour in India's largest coalfield Korba in Chhattisgarh state. While the Indian government has announced that the country will have net zero emissions by 2070, continuing coal mine expansions built on the dispossession of rural poor and indigenous groups dramatica…
Living with coal in India
This article asks what it is like for the rural poor to live with coal over time as mines expand and agriculture and forest-dependent ways of living inevitably become more restricted. Research on the expansion of open pit coal mining in India shows a widespread inability to appropriately compensate the rural poor for lost land and access to common property resources. Yet it is simultaneously clear that the growth of coal extraction over time ensu…
Patterns of risk for diabetic retinopathy in the Mumbai slums
Diabetes onset precedes diabetic retinopathy (DR) by 5–10 years, but many people with diabetes remain free of this microvascular complication. Our aim was to identify risk factors for DR progression in a unique and diverse population, the slums of Mumbai. We performed a nested case-control study of 1163 diabetics over 40 years of age from slums in 18 wards of Mumbai. Data was collected on 33 variables and assessed for association with DR using bo…
Ecological Warriors’ versus ‘Indigenous Performers’
This paper traces the nature of resistance in movements against land acquisition in Jagatsinghpur and Niyamgiri in the state of Odisha in India. At both sites, the movements were united in their opposition to the respective industrial projects, and to the state's notion of ‘development’ premised on resource extraction and large industry. At certain key junctures, the Niyamgiri resistance placed stress on the ‘sacred’ and the spiritual, while the …
Red in the Green
The experiments and experiences of the trade unionist Shankar Guha Niyogi show the potential for an alternative engagement with the complex issues of production, ecology and technological regimes. This engagement sought to forge a vision where concern for labour was seen as integrally connected to various expressions of ecological consciousness. It was, moreover, a concern that emerged from the experiences, memories and imaginations of peasants a…
