Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The development model adopted by Independent India has often witnessed conflicts over competing claims to the environment. These claims are not merely to grab a greater share of the environment but also involve different ways of using the nature. The competing claims are created by this model have given rise not only to environmental problems but also to environmental movements. One such movement is witnessed, during the last few years, in lake Chilika in eastern India. The present article is an attempt to examine the different forces operating through the model of development by the state of Orissa and the consequent rise of a grassroots environmental as well as social movement known as Chilika Bachao Andolan (CBA) or "Save Chilika Movement". It is also an attempt to study the effects of globalisation in the context of shrimp aquaculture. The study analyses the strategies adopted by the local people for an environmental movement against the state policy. It discusses the relationship between resistance and ecological consciousness at the grassroots level and the consequent support at the national and international level. It focuses on globalisation and the so-called theory of development, which are perceived as threats by people at local, national and transnational level. - Reproduced.
