India: Land Ordinance seen as repository of flawed attitudes that diminish democracy

...[T]he land acquisition ordinance…is a repository of flawed attitudes that diminish democracy. Doing away with consent is, of course, one such…Social impact assessment for such projects are no longer required. Irrigated, multi-cropped land is now up for grabs, minus any earlier restriction aimed jointly at aspects of farmers’ welfare and food security…land acquired for any project whatsoever can…indefinitely remain with the entity acquiring the land, even if the purpose for which the land was acquired—and people displaced, with or without consent—remains unfulfilled….application of the ordinance requires unimpeachable governance and lack of crony capitalism…the ordinance is really a Land Acquisition Forces (Special Powers) Act.
