The Hidden Deal | छिपा हुआ सौदा Bastar Diary: The Untold Stories Season 7 | Episode 90 ⸻ English Description In conflict regions, development is often measured through roads, bridges, schools and government projects. But behind official plans, another reality sometimes emerges. This episode follows the uneasy relationship between journalism, contracting and local administration, exploring how professional roles can blur when survival, influence and public money intersect. Through the accompanying poem “Three Principles of Development”, the episode reflects on the distance between development on paper and development experienced by ordinary people. This is a literary documentary inspired by experiences, observations and fictionalized storytelling. ⸻ हिंदी विवरण संघर्षग्रस्त इलाकों में विकास अक्सर सड़कों, पुलों, भवनों और योजनाओं से मापा जाता है। लेकिन कई बार सरकारी फाइलों के पीछे एक दूसरी दुनिया भी चल रही होती है। इस कड़ी में पत्रकारिता, ठेकेदारी और प्रशासन के बीच बनते संबंधों की कहानी है—जहाँ कई बार पेशे और भूमिकाएँ एक-दूसरे में घुल जाती हैं। साथ की कविता “तीन सूत्रीय विकास” कागज़ पर दर्ज विकास और ज़मीन पर दिखाई देने वाली वास्तविकता के बीच के विरोधाभास को सामने लाती है। ⸻ About Bastar Diary Bastar Diary – The Untold Stories is an independent long-form documentary series by journalist Anil Mishra, presenting literary stories and poems inspired by decades of reporting from Bastar.
