This book examines the land question in neoliberal India based on a
cohesive framework focusing on socio-legal and judicial
interactions in a point of departure from the political-economy
approach to land issues. It sheds light on several complex aspects
of land matters in India and evolves a critical and
multi-dimensional discourse by mapping out exchanges between social
and political actors, the State, elites, citizenry, and the legal
battle or judicial interpretations on land as right to property.
Based on the themes of socio-legal policy and perspective on
‘land’ on the one hand and jurisprudence on the land question
on the other, the volume discusses topics such as conclusive land
titling; urban land governance; governance of forest land;
land-leasing practices, policies, and interventions from the
perspective of women; land acquisition policies and laws; how land
matters interface with environmental issues; and judicial debates
on ‘compensation’ against land acquisitions. It covers a wide
range of case studies from all over India by bringing together
specialists from across backgrounds. Comprehensive and topical,
this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development
studies, political studies, law, sociology, political economy, and
public policy, as well as to professionals in NGOs, civil society
organisations, think tanks, planning and public administration,
lawyers, civil services and training institutes, and judicial and
forest academies. Those working on rural and urban land issues in
India, land management, land governance, environmental laws and
governance, property rights, resource conflicts, social work, and
rural development will find this book to be of special interest.

This volume explores the complexities of governance, law, and
politics in India's Scheduled Areas. The Scheduled Areas (SAs) are
those parts of the country which have been identified by the Fifth
and Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India and are inhabited
predominantly by tribal communities or Scheduled Tribes. SAs are
often identified by their geographical isolation, primitive
economies, and relatively egalitarian and closely knit society.
Irrespective of the constitutional provision for governance and a
mandate of devolution of power in terms of funds, functions and
functionaries, the backwardness of these areas have remained a
challenge. This volume attempts to explore the reasons behind the
disregard for legal and institutional mechanism designed for the
SAs. It examines the role of the state in the neoliberal era on
fund allocation and utilisation, the governance of land and forest
resources, and the ineffectiveness of the existing administrative
structures and processes. It also looks into the interpretations of
law by the judiciary while dealing with community rights vis-a-vis
the state's prerogative of bringing development to the regions, and
how development concerns are addressed in the name of 'good
governance' by various stakeholders. Comprehensive and topical,
this volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of
political studies, development studies, developmental economics,
sociology and social anthropology, and for policy makers.

This volume engages with the topical issue of land rights in
neoliberal India. It examines government policies, laws, land
governance and land reforms from the perspective of social justice
and people's response to dispossession of land. Looking beyond the
dominant discourse of land acquisition and the conception of land
as a commodity for economic growth, the book explores critical
themes including issues of social identity, culture, livelihood and
food security through a study of land reform; reviews existing land
policies and legal dimensions; and discusses issues and challenges
of land governance and land dependents as well as perspectives from
people's movements. Lucidly written, based on empirical research,
and comprehensive in its treatment of a contentious concern, this
volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of economics and
public policy, development studies, political science, and
political economy. It will also interest scholars of South Asian
studies and sociology.
