Land Acquisition in India: Is the farmer wrong...? Karan Doshi

The book attempts to take a radically different view on the problem of Land Acquisition in India... A great divide exists between two warring groups; the farmers vs. the industrialists. India has seen many protests over the years on these 'forcible' land acquisitions either done by the Govt. or by private companies for factories, infrastructure projects etc. Many remain stalled primarily because of the problem of acquiring adequate land. In the book, the author examines the pros and cons on each side and comes to a radically different conclusion from what is the currently prevailing trend. The final conclusions drawn also take into account what at first may be considered an unrelated topic but is shown to be of paramount importance in the Indian context which is the threat posed by an ascendant China...
