The acquisition of land from the poor is more than the issue of adequate compensation. Their way of life and livelihood for the next generation is not considered. When land is taken away fro a farmer, not only you take away his livelihood, you take away his children's way to livelihood too. Because good education and good careers are not there for the rural poor; land is all that they have. This was not thought about. "we want development, and we want industries" but at whose cost?People(natives) should become the stake holders because they are the "real owners" They had been dependent on the produce of the land.And now they are in search of clean drinking water, food and livelihoods.They cannot be nomadic for ever and they need a place to stay.
