Gandhi believed in primal innocence of the tribal and associated them with their oneness with nature. Ambedkar was of the view that the village scenario envisaged by Gandhi only promoted backwardness and ignorance. He believed that all backward societies should aspire to be industrialized societies. Industrialization and consequent urbanization, he said, are the antidotes to untouchability in India. It’s only, because untouchability was far less rampant in urban India, then, when rural India owing to progressive social structures promoted by urbanization.

Against this backdrop it is pertinent to ask why, whenever there is talk about the price which nevertheless must be paid for development, this price must always be paid by the disadvantaged and the benefits enjoyed by an influential few. In fact notions like progress, development, backwardness are very slippery and the words cannot connote the same thing for everybody. With this is aligned the vexed question of “what constitutes human progress?” what are the costs? Is there space for compromise? As more and more land around us gets denuded of its green cover to meet the demands of a billion Indians, where do we draw the line?
