But land is often held by small farmers or inhabited by tribal groups, who have neither clear and clean title nor the information and capability to deal on equal terms with a developer or corporate acquirer. Not surprisingly, farmers and tribal groups often felt exploited as savvy buyers purchased their land for a pittance and resold it for a fortune.
首先，印度或许没有为全球金融危机爆发前两年的快速增长做好充分准备。比如，新工厂和矿山要求土地。但土地通常为小农或部落群体所有，他们既没有明确明晰的权利，也没有信息和能力与开发商和公司兼并方平等地做交易。毫不奇怪，农民和部落群体通常自认为被精明的买家糊弄，后者从他们手中低价获得土地，然后高价转手。而穷困农民所获得的补偿也确实不多；在卖掉它们的主要收入来源后，拜开发所赐，他们要面临本地生活成本激增的局面。
