Abstract

Development-induced-displacement (DID) in remote locations has jeopardized the welfare of Tribal and Dalit communities (TDC), which has reached a magnitude and frequency that requires immediate attention and worldwide significance. Therefore, the current study seeks to explore the impact of forced displacement on tribal identity, culture and traditional sources of livelihood in the establishment of Utkal Alumina International Limited (UAIL) in Kashipur (Odisha). The study has addressed three objectives: (a) to what extent did politicizing the UAIL operation by the upper-caste community altered the compensatory R&R (rehabilitation and resettlement) benefits received by TDC, (b) to measure the impact of displacement and the extent of loss of livelihood caused by UAIL and (c) to what extent tribal identity, culture and livelihood security been eroded in the process of UAIL establishment. Amid the essentiality for balanced reconciliation between displacement and resettlement, the study found that the impact of DID is not homogenous on society but has affected the TDC differently due to corrupt intervention of upper-caste officials, resulting in delayed or denied compensation. The study recommends an immediate requirement of risk reversal explicit strategies backed up by adequate financing for reconstructing and improving the livelihood of displaced masses.

揭示卡什普尔贱民与部落流离失所的冲突:对乌特卡尔氧化铝国际有限公司运营的批判性洞察
偏远地区的发展引发的流离失所危害了部落和达利特社区的福利,其规模和频率已经达到需要立即关注和全球意义的程度。因此,本研究旨在探讨在克什米尔(奥迪沙)成立Utkal Alumina International Limited(UAIL)过程中,强迫流离失所对部落身份、文化和传统生计来源的影响。该研究涉及三个目标:(a)上层种姓社区将UAIL行动政治化在多大程度上改变了TDC获得的补偿R&R(康复和重新安置)福利;(b)衡量UAIL造成的流离失所影响和生计损失程度,在UAIL的建立过程中,文化和生计保障受到了侵蚀。在流离失所和重新安置之间平衡和解的重要性中,研究发现,DID对社会的影响并不同质,但由于上层种姓官员的腐败干预,对TDC的影响有所不同,导致赔偿延迟或被拒绝。该研究建议立即要求制定明确的风险逆转战略,并辅以充足的资金,以重建和改善流离失所群众的生活。
