Land Acquisition in India: Is the farmer wrong...?
The book attempts to take a radically different view on the problem of Land Acquisition in India... A great divide exists between two warring groups; the farmers vs. the industrialists. India has seen many protests over the years on these 'forcible' land acquisitions either done by the Govt. or by private companies for factories, infrastructure projects etc. Many remain stalled primarily because of the problem of acquiring adequate land. In the book, the author examines the pros and cons on each side and comes to a radically different conclusion from what is the currently prevailing trend. The final conclusions drawn also take into account what at first may be considered an unrelated topic but is shown to be of paramount importance in the Indian context which is the threat posed by an ascendant China...

Review originally posted in Abby's Shelves
Talking about this book, Karan Doshi has done a pretty good job in defending his argument throughout the book even dragging strategic partnerships, international relations between countries and the competitors India will have to face to become most developed economy. The simple language and the so-called practical approach are what this book worth a read. I also loved the discussion of the Strategic partnership between countries especially the String of Pearl's theory.
But personally, I felt the book was too one sided for real estate and pro-industrialist. I was surprised that the author never mentioned a word about “sustainable development” or the scope for the existence of agriculture and infrastructure together. Even as the author threw light on a strategic partnership of various countries, I felt similar strategies of India completely ignored developed to counter such projects. Too many excerpts towards the end ruined the originality of the book. Instead of going to a debate on these subjects in a review (maybe will discuss these with the author), I would have loved this book if it had succeeded to gain a balance between the opinions but it failed in that aspect.
Overall, I would recommend this book to a team participating in the debate for industries and real estate instead of a general public who need to grasp the overall idea regarding the new Land Acquisition Bill of 2015.

I received this book in a giveaway. Thanks to the author.
This book delves deep into a major social and political issue in India. Critically analyzed, the book draws a completely unconventional viewpoint of an issue that has prevailed over ages. Interesting topics supported with strong arguments makes it as good as a non-fiction can get. Definitely worth a read.
Would really like to go through other books by the author. Great work. Keep it up.
Happy reading.
