Summary: This is a study in regional development. The case in point is the Bokaro Steel Plant and its impact on the Bauris-a Harijan com munity who incidentally, live in its shadow. Nirmal Sengupta has made a detailed analysis of the economic, social and political condition of one of the more important scheduled castes of the Bokaro industrial region and has attempted to evaluate the performance of the steel plant in effecting a balanced regional development. The present volume is an urgent plea to relate development neither to space nor to technology, but primarily to human beings. Accordingly, the criteria for the evaluation of industrial programmes should be their con tributions to human development. The problem of transition from a backward mode of production to an advanced one which is also dealt with here is of great rele vance in the Indian context today.
