    Right after its independence from Britain, India brought the Zamidari Abolition Act which seized lands from feudal landowners and distributed it to farmers working under them. Such acts are now unthinkable for some reason, as if property rights are some divine gift.

    Corporations should not have rights to own residential land. Even for individuals there should be limits on the land they can own. Would you hoard water? Air? No, then how can you hoard land?
