Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: During the last few years, there has been a devastating wave of forced evictions of tribal communities from forest land around the country, which needs to be stopped as soon as possible. Unfortunately, recent reports suggest that forced evictions continue in many places, with unrelenting brutality. This note discusses the problem and presents recommendations for immediate action.
