Question
In Chapter 1 (Development), we saw what may be development for one may be destructive for others. The setting of SEZs has been opposed by some people in India. Find out who are these people and why are they opposing it.

Answer

When an SEZ is being made in a particular location, a vast tract of land needs to be acquired. Land acquisition means a large population is forced to relocate from many villages. Displacement is always painful for people. Moreover, people who are evacuated do not get proper compensation for their land and rehabilitation is never adequate and timely. These are the reasons; many people oppose various developmental activities.
