THIS book describes and analyses what we call ‘the great Goa land
grab’. Over several decades, the state government and private
companies — often working in tandem – have acquired or appropri-
ated large tracts of land in the Indian coastal state of Goa for a range
of development, real estate, port, and industrial purposes. In this intro-
duction, we introduce the great Goa land grab and analyse it in more
detail in the chapters that follow. We first briefly discuss what is often
referred to as ‘the global land grab’ in the academic and activist litera-
ture, before we move on to examine the Indian debate on land grabbing.
The majority of the introduction is then devoted to discussing the main
components and drivers of the great Goa land grab and its linkages to
politics and different economic sectors. We end with an overview of the
chapters that follow.
