Eminent domain
Eminent domain doctrine has been widely used in India since the era of Independence, with over 21.6 million people in the period of 1951–90. They have been displaced with large-scale projects like dams, canals, thermal plants, sanctuaries, industrial facilities, and mining (Pellissery and Dey Biswas 2012, pp 32–54). These occurrences are generally categorized as "development-induced displacement".
