Be it the neoliberal policies of the state or the monolithic development projects of multinational corporations, Mother Earth and the people who depend on natural resources for their survival suffer as a result. In her new book Uncivil City: Ecology, Equity, and the Commons in Delhi (Sage 2020), Amita Baviskar exposes how authoritarian governments interweave political totalitarianism, cultural fascism, and a neo- capitalist agenda to displace and even equate common people in urban city spaces in India, especially in Delhi, to polluted spaces or bodies in the name of "green city-clean city" projects.
