The spate of forcible land acquisitions in India is very alarming and against the will and consent of the land owner.Here, the land owners are mostly lower middle and poor class of farmers, whose lands are grabbed by the governments at the center and states irrespective their political affiliations.No government worth mentioning in this aspect is concerned about the fate, leave alone the welfare of the displaced farmer.Every tom and dick, shamelessly talk about the economic development of the country by bringing SEZs.To establish the SEZs in the country the ruling govts.are grabbing the lakhs of lakhs acres of fertile agricultural lands forcibly, but are trying to keep a blind eye to the the problems and agonies of lakhs of agricultural families who are displaced and with out a recourse to any amicable placement.Is it justifiable that lakhs of agricultural families are displaced to accommodate few thousand educated people as slaves in the hands few hundred (precisely548 industry owners)?.Is it not the concentration of economic power of the country in few hands?Unfortunately ,in our country ,most of the political leaders, industrialists and entrepreneurs are most corrupt (example 2G and umpteen cases).The elected govt.are supposed to be the guardians and protectors of the people(mostly farmers only,who sincerely excise their franchise and not the industrialist nor IT professionals) of our country, but, instead, are behaving like despots and taking the high handed , unilateral and intimidating decisions against not only interest of the farmers but also the national interest by using our own police as brutal force by oppressive methods and taking away the fundamental Right to property .In the hands of industrialists for pecuniary alms the political leaders are becoming middle men brokers and educated people as slaves and both these groups are killing the farming community with out realising that these very farmers are their bread winners and back bone of this great country .Here i quote "UTTAM KETHI MAADHYAM VYAPAARI KANISHT CHAKIRI".If the country has to develop economically,first the agriculture has to flourish other wise there is no meaning to economic development SEZs or industrialisation when even today almost 40% of our population is below poverty line and go with out proper food even after 60 long years of our independence.Had our successive governments sincerely taken up the irrigation projects with out corruption and NOT by giving shameless statements "ashamed of being Indian ,our country could have achieved self sufficiency long ago in food production.
