The concept of land ownership is not moral. Do you agree? 150 wordsFrom the days of yore, land ownership has been a severely contested issue. There have been some major controversies around it but there have always been advocates of it either.
Traditionally in India, land has seen two brothers fighting for it who were earlier living amicably. Particularly in joint families, it has always remained a bone of contention. Out of the three factors which begets disputes namely Jar, Joru and Zameen, land has always occupied a place of primacy. And these all can be ascribed to great prestige and value which is attached to the land.
Since land is an asset, it must be owned by someone but as can be seen in India the people who are already well off keep acquiring land in a bid to further enhance their property as investment in land is always considered to be of giving very high return. Not the ownership per se but the undue ownership of land (because of ever increasing value of land) is what is immoral.
The need of the hour is to bring about land reforms in real sense which could identify the correct set of people worthy of being owners of the land like farmers, aboriginal and other tribal, etc. As Gandhi Ji rightly remarked, land should belong to those who actually cultivates it.
conceptually right. I too have same thought.
