I dnt think there is massive industrialization in Odisha . Its a mere 75 billion economy . And i dnt think people suddenly rise to protest because of some rights or something . There are instigators . And at ground level money is distributed . There is a whole ecosystem behind such protests . People associated with such protests used to be glorified before internet era . I remember i knew few of those names in school times because they used to ask in queez competition .There are two sides to every story...
This is the same region where POSCO wanted to open up their steel plant.So naturally you would expect heavy protest from locals.
People in Odisha are not very keen on new steel plants coming up because they happen to be the last beneficiary of their own resources. Majority of the beneficiary happen to outsiders.So why should people sacrifice their prime land to benefit others ?
And despite having so many industries there is virtually no job opportunities in the state forcing millions to migrate to other states.Odisha's massive industrialization has not helped in either alleviating poverty or job creation.
