Special Economic Zone in India- SEZ

SEZ is a new East India Company:

SEZ is all about massive illegal loot of forest and acquired mineral resources, and eviction of individuals and communities from their homes and habitats, without due process and in violation of their human rights. Hundreds of Special Economic Zones in India have come into effect with the passing of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Act 2005.

Instead of learning from the past, we are setting up a new form of the East India Company establishment in the name of SEZ. Its provisions are exactly the same as those of East India Company, and there is nothing on how to challenge this provision of the Act. As of May 2012, it was estimated that between 32 and 82 million hectares (between approximately 80 and 200 million acres) of global farmland had been brought under foreign control, with the amount constantly increasing.

Land Acquisition Act:

In the year 2005, The Special Economic Zones Act, 2005, was passed by the Parliament. Almost 20 years later, the new Land Acquisition Act with much stricter norms than the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the colonial law enacted by the British government which survived and continued post-independence) was enforced. ‘Land acquisition’ is about the loss of natural resource-based livelihood that it entails. So far hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland have been lost to industrial purpose. And 40 to 60 percent of the lands that have been acquired for industrial purposes a decade or two ago and are still lying unutilized.
