ArticlePublisher: 2005Description: p.2908-912.Subject(s): Housing
In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Even as the poor are kept teetering on the precipice of demolition and destruction of habitat, the assumption of powers by the state that can be exercised selectively and arbitrarily, based on a legality that it manufactures, has continued to flourish in contradiction of the inclusive interpretations developed in human rights jurisprudence. The right to housing has been rendered invisible, even non-existent, in this exertion of power, and the evolving meaning of `housing' and `adequate housing', and the injunction in the matter of forced evictions has been thrown into a cauldron of callous neglect. - Reproduced.
