The agrarian question in a maoist guerrilla zone: land, labour and capital in the forests and hills of Jharkhand, India
No full textpaper is part of a much bigger project on understanding social transformations in rural Jharkhand that I have been exploring for the past decade. The field data used here are a result of field research conducted over twenty months with the anthropologist George Kunnath to whom I am deeply grateful for all that we have shared. The questions of this paper were led by respondents in the field who I hope will one day read it. Deepankar Basu, Henry Bernstein, Uday Chandra, Bernard De Mello and Judith Whitehead have helped clarify numerous arguments. Special thanks to Barbara Harriss-White and Jens Lerche for thoughtful comments and especially believing in and supporting this endeavour
