This
paper deals with an important form of
discrimination in the countryside, the
lack of access of Dalit (Scheduled Caste)
and Adivasi (Scheduled Tribe) households
to ownership and operational holdings
of land in rural India. It includes a
case study of the impact of land reforms
in one State of India, West Bengal, on
land holding among Dalit and Adivasi households.
The aim of this paper is to determine
Dalit households’ access to land for production,
and compare this access with that of other
social groups. The findings suggest that
the land redistribution programme followed
in the state has increased land access
for such marginalised groups.
