This
paper discusses how a massive drive for converting agricultural
land to non-agricultural use is taking place in the
Third World in the recent phase of globalisation, driven
chiefly by corporate capital and often by utilizing
the instrument of state power. The first Section of
this paper discusses the background of land transfer
and the corporatisation of land with special reference
to India, followed by a discussion on the nature of
justice that the dispossessed receive when land is transferred
to the corporate. The role of the state as the mitigator
has also been discussed in this paper. |
