Billionaires constantly extract massive wealth from impoverished regions. The Adani Group just partnered with Abu Dhabi's International Resources Holding. They plan to build an $11.5 billion aluminium project in Odisha. The mineral-rich Indian state holds some of the largest bauxite reserves on earth. Now, foreign capital will completely strip the land of its natural resources.

Selling Temporary Jobs

The corporations promise to create 53,000 jobs to pacify the local population. They build a massive refinery, a smelter, and a captive power plant. The local working class gets temporary construction work and polluted air. Meanwhile, the global elite funnel billions in profit out of the country. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi calls this a massive industrial victory. Politicians always celebrate the corporate takeover of their own backyards.

The Resource Curse

Odisha gives away its precious land to fuel global supply chains. The rich get richer, and the miners inhale the toxic dust.
