ABSTRACT
In this study, I have presented an analysis of dispossession and resistance in the Narmada Valley which has sought to elucidate the underlying political economy of the distributional biases of the Narmada dam projects, to decipher the dynamics of the expansive movement process that has unfolded in opposition to dispossession, and to extract strategic insights from both the achievements and the failures of the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA). It is time now to summarize my argument and to discuss what social movements from below can learn from the Narmada Valley movement process.
