ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter brings together all the concepts and concerns discussed in the previous parts of the work and draws from them three dominant characteristics of land law – first, that land law has been framed in a manner that disassociates land from its people, second, and probably more obvious, is that Indian land law is an obfuscated regime and the third, that land law incorporates certain specific ideas of modernity and development. It attends to the popular notion of increasing landlessness in the country while arguing that the phenomenon of landlessness is a direct consequence of law that is framed to regulate land. It specifically seeks to understand the relationship between the nature of Indian land law and the impact it has on land structures and concludes that landlessness is a necessary consequence of land law.
