This report by India Justice Project and the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights presents insights into the ongoing assault of the Indian state and mega-corporations on the country’s Adivasi (indigenous) inhabitants. Through a case study of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, carved out of Madhya Pradesh in 2000 to facilitate state-sanctioned and corporate-led resource extraction, the report highlights the legal and institutional means through which powerful state, military and corporate actors shrink space, both literally and metaphorically, for Adivasi rights.
