History

Historical Context

India’s post-1947 land-reform drive set state-wise ceilings—Kerala at five acres, Tamil Nadu at fifteen, West Bengal at 24.7—while Maharashtra’s 1995 Slum Rehabilitation Act later secured relocation rights for about 20,000 households. The Navghar clash, pitting MLA Narendra Mehta against Asgarali Vohra after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s September 2026 meeting, revives these long-standing ceiling and resettlement tensions.
