India has big plans to industrialise more of its economy. Inconveniently for some Indian farmers, they’re not part of it.

It’s one of those development stories that pits a new way of life against an old one, and the desire for modern new factories over the fields and fishponds of agrarian society.

So far it’s generating more heat than light. But what heat! As we hear from Sonya Fatah in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
