Abstract
The Adivasi-Dalit Ekta Abhijan (ADEA) is a subaltern1 social movement organization of some twenty-one thousand Kondh Adivasis (original-dwellers) and Panos (scheduled caste group, pejoratively referred to as untouchables as per caste-relegation as impure peoples) people in the southern region of the eastcoast state of Orissa, India. As a movement organization committed to the political activation of predominantly Kondh Adivasi and Panos communities located in more than 120 villages, the ADEA is a contemporary example of popular trans/local activism partially aimed at subaltern dispossession and displacement (material and cultural) by national development and neoliberal globalization (Kapoor, 2004, 2008, 2009) or modernizing socioeconomic processes predicated on the attempted dismemberment of subaltern communities,2 albeit allegedly in their best interests and the greater public good.
