Geographies of Dispossession to "Bhoodan" Repossession-Climate Displacements

Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The impact of Forced displacement in South Asia will lead to scarcity and dispossession of land and create ¿spaces of exception¿ and ¿spaces of exclusion¿. Such dispossession will create new ¿global souls¿ [climate Refugees] and new social-cultural geographies of identity determined and organised on the basic of catastrophic climatic events. The momentous rejoinder to climate change will require sacrifices, strong regional Institutions with accurate governance and cooperation across multiple scales. Hitherto, the land management policies of the State in South Asia have failed in supporting the commons and the livelihoods options of the citizens and non-citizens alike. With emerging discourse of climate change new land management policies are indispensable that will further demand committed leadership and powerful regulation. The goal of this paper is to analyses the relevance of Bhoodan movement as an institution to govern the common property management and the use of natural resources in a sustainable way. This paper will further look into how this concept can be used inter-state or intra-state within South Asia towards climate displaced community across multiple logics of dispossession, violence and insecurity and where wider socio-economic, political and legal struggles come together and understand that whether it would be able to provide land and dignity to millions who will be crossing edge in search of protected lands and livelihood.
