ABSTRACT

The revolt against everyday tyranny in the adivasi villages of Alirajpur was paralleled, and gradually came to be closely intertwined with, the emergence of militant particularist struggles for resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) in the damaffected adivasi communities of Maharashtra and Gujarat, as well as the caste Hindu farming communities in Nimad, Madhya Pradesh. This chapter is devoted to chronicling and analyzing that process.
