After reading this article for the first time I felt as if it is almost similar to the stand taken by Ekta Parishad and Arundhati Roy.
On second reading I wonder what is it that is more unacceptable to the tribal populations and champions of their causes- Urbanisation or Resource Withdrawl or Lack of Governance and participation during Resource withdrawl or Ultimately lack of the benefits of their own resources trickling down to them.
Or is it that they despise the state for being a poor service provider for basic services??
Probably the reason might be more tilted towards deep-rooted fears about insecurity of their ecological systems rather than the economic exploitation. Probably somebody from the IRMA teams should try and independant EIAs to compare these.
