Evicted: How State Action Left People Homeless

Our second Quarterly Data Analytics Report is an in-depth report by our Legal Associate Anmol Gupta, focuses on land conflicts caused by eviction drives. It tracks and analyses 224 land conflicts across the country. Documented in the LCW database, these conflicts see clashes between local communities’ rights over the land and the state’s push to ‘protect’ such lands. The report looks at the state’s role in causing displacement and how that leads to communities losing their homes.
