ah yes...bureaucracy... the inefficient yet effective tool of democracies to appease the masses of contenders. A panel WILL be set up...will any work get done?

Quoted: The Indian government says it will set up a panel on land reform to meet the demands of landless farmers and indigenous people.

this is sad what's happening to these people's lands. after all, farmers haven't moved into the realm of portable wealth, and all their valued wealth lies in land/property. the dichotomy of modernization and land reform. glad to see at least they're keeping Gandhi's non-violence movement alive! worn through 3-pairs of flip flops!
Quoted: Thousands of peasants marched more than 200 miles to New Delhi demanding land reform.
