Delhi's country cousins
The government of Delhi has promised to make Delhi a world-class city. However, this vision will remain incomplete without major effort to improve the living condition of approximately 20 lakh rural population of Delhi, which resides in its 362 villages. The marginalisation of original inhabitants in cities is a global phenomenon, be it the aborigines of Australia, the Red Indians in the US or the tribes in India; the Todas of Nilgiri Hills, the Santhals of West Bengal and Orissa or the Bhils have all been marginalised, often with disastrous social consequences. The villages of Delhi have met similar fate since the Independence. Exploitation in the matter of land acquisition is one of the main factors responsible for current situation prevailing in these villages; Delhi villages are the first and worst victims of the Land Acquisition Act.
Article 243A of Indian Constitution provides that a gram sabha is deeply steeped in the tradition and culture of rural India. It provides for a system of self-governance at the village level. However, it did not have a constitutional status till 1992. On 23 April 1993, the institution of panchayati raj was accorded constitutional status through the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992, thereby seeking to transform Mahatma Gandhi's dream of gram swaraj The gram sabha land, earmarked for common use by the villagers, has traditionally been supervised by the village panchayat. The landless labourers, shepherds and artisans of the villages always had a customary right to use the common land. Being a common property of the villagers, pastures and woodlands were carefully managed, and the rural ecology and economy were in good shape. In March 1987, all the urban villages under the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) were transferred to the Municipal Council of Delhi (MCD) on-as-is basis. The common land of all villages of Delhi governed by Delhi Land Reform Act 1954 was, with one stroke, transferred under the custody of block development officer (BDO), who functions under the divisional commissioner of a district. As a result, villagers have been deprived of the gram sabha land, which belonged to the villagers with ownership rights in proportion to their agriculture land, in an illegal and arbitrary manner without any compensation being paid to them.

Maoists’ aim: Seize power in Delhi Our Roving Editor Man Mohan writes from Raipur
‘Red terror’ spots have begun to pop up in India’s capital and northern states’ forest and hilly areas.
It seems that the Maoists are interested in enlarging their area of influence outside the jungles of the ‘Red Corridor’ that runs from the Nepal border down to Andhra Pradesh.
Lately, they have begun targeting India’s seat of power – New Delhi – and many other cities by setting up urban bases with the aim to penetrate and influence policy makers, judiciary, media, civil liberty, human rights, cultural, Dalit, women and youth organisations.
Highly classified maps and reports of the Central intelligence agencies accessed by The Tribune depict that the Maoist/Naxalite-affected areas now include certain parts of the National Capital Region and adjoining states. At some places, they have been teaching how to fire guns and make bombs and land mines.
Seized documents of the CPI (Maoist) Politburo and Central Committee talk about the need to run a secret service, unleash psychological wars through effective networking of various friendly groups in the urban areas.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently described the Naxalite problem as ‘the single largest threat to India’.
According to a confidential report of the military intelligence, India’s 231 districts in 13 states, including three in the NCR, are now being targeted by the Maoist to achieve its ultimate aim – seize power in Delhi by 2050.
So far, it was believed that about 170 districts falling under the dreaded ‘Red Corridor’, also known as the Dandekaran Belt, are reeling under the Maoist terror.
In Chhattisgarh, Bastar’s dense jungles of bamboo, sal, teak, sheesam and high hills, valleys, streams, waterfalls and natural caves are considered to be the Maoists’ centre of gravity. Before splitting into three districts, Bastar was one of the largest districts in India, with an area of 39,114 sq km, greater than Kerala and some other countries like Belgium and Israel.
