| Summary, etc |
"Development is traditionally understood as increasing wealth for a higher standard of living through improved technology and industrial progress. With its criterion of Gross National Product (GNP) and economic growth it relies heavily on capital investment and advanced technology to harness existing natural and human resources. Land is basic to these projects and through compulsory acquisition that displaces people from their traditional habitats and sustenance. The present book is on development-induced displacement in Assam 1947-2000. While official files point to 4.2 lakh persons displaced from 3.9 lakh acres used for the projects during these five decades, the study on which this book is based puts the number at 19.1 lakh persons deprived of 4.1 lakh acres. Rehabilitation is almost non-existent and compensation is either not paid or is inadequate. Impoverishment is the price that livelihood losers pay but the benefits of "national development" reach another class. That shows the need to search for another type of development and alternative measures to minimise displacement and to prevent impoverishment and marginalisation." |
