Subject: [initiative-india] Sangharsh invites to a One Day Consultation on Land Right Struggles: Prospects and Challenges
To:
'Land' and land related issues and conflicts have grabbed media headlines for quite some time now. However, from the days of India's independence, land related discourse has undergone some substantial vicissitudes.
We have seen this land debate ranging from distribution, reforms, 'Bhudan' and acquisition to land capture. In the recent times, however, the discourse has moved on to accommodate the new forms of land struggles happening in the form of 'land reclamation', too.
The evolution of people's struggles and movements across the countryside and in the peripheral regions of Indian metros has seen a shift from struggles for enhanced compensations and rehabilitation to struggles that challenge the very 'Development' (now 'Growth') paradigm. From 'Jaan Denge, Zameen Nahi Denge', the struggles have gone on to assert 'Jaan bhi nahi, Zameen bhi nahi Denge' and 'Jo Zameen Sarkari Hei; Woh Zameen Hamari hei'. The country is dotted with communities resisting State sponsored land grab which resonate the demand for a just law to ensure that there is no forced acquisition of land and resources, including minerals and ground water. The voices from movements across places such as Narmada, Koel Karo, Singur, Nandigram, Sonbhadra, Chindwara, Bhavnagarm, Kalinga Nagar, Kashipur, Raigarh, Srikakulam and mining areas in central India have been putting their protests against the longstanding crisis concerning Land Acquisition and Resettlement & Rehabilitation
It is in this context that the Sangharsh collective is organising a one-day consultation in Delhi on the 13th of December 2012, from 10am to 5.30pm, at YMCA, Patel Chowk, New Delhi to discuss the prospects and challenges facing the new assertive land rights movements. The discussion will be joined by the representatives of political parties, Members of Parliament, representatives of mass movements, academics from across the country.
We do hope you will be able to join the consultation on an important legislation and enrich the debate with your inputs and experiences.
In Solidarity,
Yours Sincerely,
