Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The state’s neo-liberal cash transfer mechanism engenders natural consciousness among Adivasi peoples, which narrows a comprehensive rights framework to a mere land distribution scheme. This techno-patrimonialism produces three critical problems: it diminishes rights-based tenure governance, establishes Adivasi subjectivity while reinforcing hierarchical and hegemonic governance structures, and damages local ecosystems by alienating communities from their traditional environmental stewardship roles, creating a “reverse environmentality.” –Reproduced
