Produktbeschreibung

This volume engages with the topical issue of land rights in neo-liberal India. It reviews government policies, laws, land governance, land reforms from the social justice perspective and people's response to dispossession of land from the citizens' point of view. It also focuses on critical themes like expanding right to land, its management and control, through people-centric governance rather than state-centric management.
