Lecture | The Contradictions of “Combined Development”: Some Reflections on Environmental Crises in India


Over the last two decades, the spectacular growth of the Indian economy has been integrally related to more deepening forms of inequality and heightened forms of direct and indirect forms of state violence. Hyperconsumerism, in its various guises, by a small yet sizeable "middle class," land grabs by a variety of national and global conglomerates (especially mining companies), and the forced relocation of millions of poor and indigenous rural dwellers, are some of the highlights of the current development model. This paper seeks to explore some of the contradictions in this model by analyzing multiple environmental crises (ranging from natural resource privatization and depletion to enclosures and denial of livelihood rights) that have emerged. It argues that efforts by the state and capital to "manage" such crises not only uphold the basic tenets of a "growth" model but also deepen conditions of conflict and violence borne by the poor majority. Speaker: Ananth Aiyer, University of Michigan–Flint. A reception will precede the meeting at 6:00 pm. less
