Compulsory land acquisition and involuntary displacement of
communities for a larger public purpose captures the tension of
development in the modern state, with the need to balance the
interests of the majority while protecting the rights of the
minority. In India, informal estimates of involuntary resettlement
are estimated to be around 50 million people over the last five
decades, and three-fourths of those displaced still face an
uncertain future. Growing public concern over the long-term
consequences of this has led to greater scrutiny of the
rehabilitation and resettlement process, particularly for large
development projects. This book examines a number of new policy
formulations put in place at both the central and state levels,
looking at land acquisition procedures and norms for rehabilitation
and resettlement of communities. The book combines a theoretical
analysis of the proposed regulatory framework with detailed case
studies that examine the application of these norms in specific
geographic contexts across the country. It brings together
contributory analysis by some of the country's most engaged
administrators, academics, and activists in the field, and is a
useful contribution to Development Studies.
