Information doesn't have its subject area written into it. Categories like "geography" and "sociology" can sometimes be applied to the same things. This speaker is coming from a sociological perspective, but it's obviously very valid to read it in a geographical (or anthropological, or IR, or politics, or philosophical, etc) way.
About New Delhi Commonwealth Games, there were no decisions made, just edicts from Sanjay Gandhi and people like him, before and after him. I find it odd that Indian debates even bring up Marx and labor theory in this context when India has been nothing but world-class poverty generation machine for more than 200 years. No matter what politics, colonialists, governments, social conditions, the one constant has been poverty machine. At the current rate at which India is creating displaced people, in both cities and rural communities, India will be housing 90% of the world's poorest people, about 300 million strong, by 2050. Think about that, a population greater than United States, living in marginal conditions while another billion people oblivious. For that kind of obvious facts on the ground, you don't need Henre Lefebre. Just look around. Look at the grotesque accumulation of capital right next to abject poverty. In any other culture, people would melt and do something. Except that is in India. The most expensive residential building in the world is home to an industralist in Bombay. Though a single family home, it is a tall multi-storeyed structure. Here's a nice project for the times: guess how many millions of people living in slums can be seen from atop that building? I sincerely hope Indian intellectuals like you do not fall in the academic trap of western lingo and ignore obvious facts in front of your noses.
