For a country that aims to maintain an 8% annual growth in GDP, it becomes important to address wealth distribution within the society, for a sustainable growth. The state cannot expect to get away with an unjust land acquisition policy. The current land acquisition policy violates the democratic fabric of the constitution of India. The issue of Displacement is an example of how law has to be consistent with socio-economic and political circumstances, and appears to have failed in doing so. As it appears, there is a strong need to put legal thought into issues concerning the land acquirers as well as to thoroughly investigate issues regarding removing the imbalance from the system. The project prepares a thematic background for a further study in this area.
