12 Women’s Alienation Singh, Pushpa Chauhan, and Raghu Tewari in Uttarakhand. In addition, a number of case studies were also prepared about women who suffered a great deal as a result of alienation of their land or played a key role in the protest movements against land alienation. Similarly, six organised movements against land alienation were studied where women were at the forefront.
Impact of Aggressive Growth Growing evidence shows that, while development projects m a y c r e a t e v u l n e r a b i l i t y through impoverishment, they disproportionately affect groups that are vulnerable to begin with, particularly indigenous groups and women. Evidence suggests that for a vast majority of the indigenous/tribal people displaced by big projects, the experience has been extremely negative in socio-cultural, economic and health terms. The outcomes have included assetlessness, unemployment, debt-bondage, hunger, and cultural disintegration. As the current development thrust has been on mining sector the horrors of land acquisition in all the five states i.e. Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan are experienced by mining affected communities in a similar manner or perhaps more severe in nature, than that of dams and other big projects. When mining leases are given, the immediate threat to local communities is displacement and land alienation, which is an inevitable feature especially with regard to large-scale mining. Minerals are considered national resources and sub-soil rights over lands belong to the state and not to the individual owners. The powers of eminent domain enjoyed by the state while acquiring lands for mining, renders local communities totally helpless. Although, there are complex procedures for acquisition of lands and for obtaining mining leases for exploration, prospecting and extraction, in reality, mining projects are sanctioned more with the view of encouraging and catering to the interests of the mining industries, rather than to protect the interests of the local communities.
