Four Thought - Lessons in Development
Download Lessons in Development
Alpa Shah argues that tribal people need a better development model.
Alpa is an anthropologist who has spent years with tribal Adivasi people, in Jharkhand, in eastern India. In recent years their lands have been identified as some of the most mineral-rich on earth and are being eagerly eyed by mining companies. There are many potential benefits, but Alpa asks whether the world has learned lessons in how to ensure that everyone can share in them.
Producer: Beth Sagar-Fenton.
