The Many Faces of Displacement: With Special Reference to Amchang Eviction Drive

Abstract

The Indian Constitution contains provisions for environmental protection as well as protection of its people. It states that the state shall protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country. But it is seen that many people have been tortured in the name of development, especially people living in protected areas. Government should take an approach which can be both park-centric and people-centric in nature.
