The Right to Property Since Independence Ananth, V. Krishna. creator text xx New Delhi SAGE Publications India Pvt. Ltd. 2015 9999 First edition. monographic und xxxv, 495 p. : 23 cm. The Indian Constitution and Social Revolution: Right to Property Since Independence by V. Krishna Ananth presents a detailed historical and constitutional analysis of the evolution of the right to property in India. The book argues that the transformation of property rights reflects the broader constitutional objective of achieving social, economic, and political justice envisioned in the Preamble. It traces the constitutional journey from the adoption of the Constitution in 1950 through successive amendments, judicial interpretations, and political debates that reshaped the status of property rights. The author examines major constitutional developments, including the abolition of the zamindari system, land reform legislation, the First, Fourth, Twenty-fifth, Forty-second, and Forty-fourth Constitutional Amendments, and landmark Supreme Court decisions such as Shankari Prasad, Golak Nath, Kesavananda Bharati, and Minerva Mills. These discussions demonstrate how conflicts between individual property rights and the goals of social justice influenced constitutional interpretation and legislative policy. V. Krishna Ananth.
