Displacement occurs when communities and individuals are forced from their homes, often homelands, for economic development purposes. This is considered a violation of human rights under international law. While societies aim to balance individual rights and state power, in India displacement usually results from land acquisition for development projects. However, those displaced face issues with lack of adequate rehabilitation and compensation under current policies. Proposed rehabilitation schemes have also failed to fully address problems like loss of culture, livelihoods, and increased poverty faced by displaced communities.
