[post_content] => The Barren Hills: Post-Agrarian Dilemmas in the Indian Himalayas
In this talk, I consider what happens, ecologically and politically, when farmers stop farming. To do so, I tell the story of Kalimpong, a district in the Himalayan foothills of West Bengal. British colonial administrators established Kalimpong as a small-farming enclave, and as a deliberate outside to the tea plantations that dominated the region. For more than a century, Nepali, Lepcha, and Bhutia people worked as tenant farmers, creating a patchwork of smallholdings. Since the 1990s, however, shifts in food markets have combined with environmental degradation to make farming in Kalimpong increasingly difficult. Despite this, most Nepali, Bhutia, and Lepcha residents have not abandoned their land. Following their struggles to forge a post-agrarian existence, the talk explores the changing relationships between rural ecology and rural identity in contemporary India.
