Dalits constitute 20% of displaced persons (DPs). o Study of 54 large dams done by the Indian Institute of Public Administration concluded that the average number of people displaced by a large dam is 44,182. Risks associated with Development-Induced Displacement Landlessness: Expropriation of land removes the main foundation upon which peoples productive systems and commercial activities are constructed. This is the principal form of de-capitalization and pauperization of displaced people, as they lose both natural and human-made capital. Joblessness: The risk of losing wage employment is very high both in urban and rural displacements for those employed in enterprises, services, or agriculture. Unemployment or underemployment among resettlers often endures long after physical relocation has been completed. Homelessness: Loss of shelter tends to be only temporary for many resettlers. But for some, homelessness or a worsening in their housing standards remains a lingering condition. Marginalization: Marginalization occurs when families lose economic power and spiral on a “downward mobility” path. Economic marginalization is often accompanied by social and psychological marginalization, expressed in a drop in social status, a feeling of injustice, and deepened vulnerability. Food Insecurity: Forced uprooting increases the risk that people will fall into temporary or chronic undernourishment, defined as calorie-protein intake levels below the minimum necessary for normal growth and work world focus magazine subscription buy.

Recent furore over factionalism in the ruling Congress in Punjab and the question regarding the leadership of the party at the nationallevel in recent months has made it important to understand the larger issues of innerparty democracy in political parties (PP) in the country. About Political Parties and Inner Party DemocracyA political party is an organised group of citizens who hold common views on governance and act as a political unit that seeks to obtain control of government with a view to further the agenda and policy they profess.Though the Constitution of India provides for cooperative societies which is a fundamental right under Article 19 (1)(c) but the Right to form political parties is not.  Internal democracy in political parties refers to the level and methods of including party members in the decision making and deliberation within the party structure.
