Who and what are India’s land mafia? How do they operate, and why have they become so crucial to India’s land market? In this episode, we are joined by Chiara Arnavas for a discussion on the emergence over the past decades of a dynamic Indian land mafia that is centrally involved in moving land around, freeing it up for new uses, and passing it onto other actors for mega-profits. We analyze how the land mafia works, and what the implications are for social inequalities along the lines of class, caste, gender, and religion.
Chiara Arnavas is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo
Your host Kenneth Bo Nielsen is a social anthropologist and the leader of the Centre for South Asian Democracy at the University of Oslo.
