ABSTRACT
The first step invariably requires a set of political conditions, including violence, which allows this separation. In the Fifth Schedule Areas such as Kashipur, where capitalism must undertake primitive accumulation to reorganise property relationships and gain control over natural resources, there are two logics of politics in operation: the logic of accommodation of dominant interest groups in the structure of self-governance as articulated in PESA, and the logic of capture, dispossession, and displacement as inaugurated by the liberalisation of the mining sector in 1993. The transformation of power in the Fifth Schedule Areas could not find a linear trajectory. The sovereign repressive power and the productive power expressed were part of an integrated complex. Kashipur has shown that the state assembles a bounded space around its formal authority, with legitimate access to the technologies of power and apparatuses to intervene in the social. Prakrutik Sampad Surakhya Parishad had challenged the simulacrum of democracy.
