A good question would be, "To what extent did the Chilika fishermen's agitations of 1999-2005 constitute a successful reassertion of traditional rights against state-led commercialisation?" This argues success versus failure. My own life as an adult learner says the obvious answer—looking only at big national movements—is wrong, because real change is measured in small, persistent local fights. I see this in my father's quiet struggle with the municipality over our rented house's water connection; the official record would call it a failure, but we got a compromise that keeps the bhala running.
