Whose land is it anyway

Excerpts of Article published in October issue of ISSUES & CONCERNS LAND ACQUISITION WHOSE LAND IS IT ANYWAY? By Vidyadhara, the author of ‘Sale of souls’ the only novel on land acquisition Land is that part of human existence, on which he lives to survive and be part of it when he dies. Managing this wealth needs effective care, concern, and governance. The Indian pre Independent legislation on this subject was the Land acquisition Act of 1894, enacted by the colonial rulers, which was amended few times for infrastructural requirements of the country. The right to property enshrined in the Indian constitution as a fundamental right under Article 19 and 31 was struck down with the Constitution 44 th amendment Act 1951 and a new Article 300 A, was introduced as a legal right.

BHARATHIPURA an exemplary novel

Bharathipura a masterpiece by the great novelist India has seen in the recent times. I was waiting and hoping that he will win the award, when he was shortlisted as the finalists of the Booker award. This was an original Kannada novel published in 1973 and translated by Susheela Puneetha and published by Oxford press. Before this I had read Samskara , Bava and Ghatashradda written by U.R.Ananthamurthy. It is a story set up in a small town Bharathipura with the mixed caste and communities as in most of the Indian towns. There is one central main temple of Manjunatha which everyone worships. The protagonist Jagannatha a rich Brahmin and the trustee of the temple returns back from London after his studies. The London stay and his interest in Russel and others had transformed him into a liberal Hindu wanting to bring some change in the small town of Bharathipura by taking the Holeyaru inside the temple. A book trying to bring out the sensibilities of the caste system in prac...
