| Summary, etc. |
In the last half decade in India, stories of confl ict over land acquisition have dominated the media and popular imagination. The numbers involved are astounding—hundreds of crores of rupees for a single acre of urban land; hundreds of thousands of villagers dispossessed for a single project. Confl ict sites like Singur, Nandigram, Niyamgiri, and Maha Mumbai are well known. However, in the explosion of information and misinformation, analysis often gets compromised.<br/><br/>This book brings clarity, depth, and understanding to the issue by taking us through the present, past, and future, exploring answers to three fundamental questions: What are the realities of land acquisition today? How did the situation get to this impasse? What are the ways forward?<br/><br/>Combining analytical rigour with an accessible writing style, the book captures three core themes:<br/>• The economics of the land market, and the problems in land pricing<br/>• The role of state intervention, especially through contradictions between the 'giving' state, which does land reforms, and the 'taking' state, which acquires land<br/>• The changes in the land market and the agents involved, and the emerging legal and policy approaches to resolving the crisis<br/><br/>Steering clear of easy answers, this book provides an engaging account of what is believed by many to be the 'biggest problem' in India's development.<br/> |
