Auroville: Why is The Masterplan kept at a Moot point?
It is not a secret that land encroachers, rampant violence, and murders are laden in and around Auroville due to non-confirmation of the Masterplan. When land belongs to nobody in particular, added with the fact that Auroville collects donations citing the land encroachments, what would be the first sensible thing to do? Confirm the Masterplan - by which the Land Acquisition Act is imposed on encroachers thereby by cutting off the reason for the thriving land mafia, the encroachments will cease/are controlled.
Now one must imagine why for so many years it has not been confirmed? The Ordinance during the Emergency imposed by late Hon. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was never done. Assets and lands were never taken into the possession of Auroville and sec 3 & 4 of the Auroville Foundation Act was willfully avoided. It is noteworthy to know that the individuals who fought the Ashramites should’ve done this firsthand - but there is a catch. The reason is that the Ashramites and others who challenged their status quo in 1976 were driven away from the lands with the help of villagers who were backed up by the Auroville administration. These villagers who helped in violence and even murders of Aurovilians and Ashramites in these lands became the hired goondas of those Asuric Aurovilians who were rallying for some so-called freedom!
It is seen that connections, friends, and family of these renowned Aurovilians from 1976 hold positions in Land Board, Working Committee, and FAMC. The ones who oppose Masterplan are the same personalities. If these villager goondas hired by them are questioned they will blurt out their names hence action on encroachments is stopped/slowed down by the Land Board members who protect them. It is laughable when they called these goondas and land mafia as ‘farmers’ to give them a soft corner citing that the Mother said Auroville should be inclusive with the villages. This is how they twist The Mother’s sayings to protect their dastardly deeds. The other reason is that if encroachments stop then they cannot ask for donations from the world to fight encroachments (propagated by them) which is a thriving economy on its own.
Moreover, it is seen that these Auroville lands are now being registered into the private trusts of which the trustees are the same Aurovilians. How does one envision the completion of Masterplan when basic foundations are not put in place and in fact, purposely kept at a moot point to benefit the beneficiaries?
These facts are known by many Aurovilians and since they are scared for their visas and lives in the hands of the same administration, they do not have the courage to speak up whispering in the back alleys. As told by a high ranking officer, in Auroville the rates for the land mafia are as such: a) Chopping hands - Rs.25,000/- b) Chopping legs - Rs.50,000/ - c) Murder - Rs.1,50,000/-with all-expense of lawyers and getting them out of jail paid by the ‘buyer of services’
The Land board & Auroville administrations are the creators and operators of this nexus supported by Panchayat heads who have political inclinations and a lobby network in Delhi of which the conduit is these Aurovilians. This network should be revealed to the world as till these anti-social, anti-Auroville elements are not eradicated, Auroville can never be a place of growth, consolidating lands. The clout, funding, bribing network of these elements are well known and Auroville being an international project, The Government of India is seen as incompetent by many foreigners, which unfortunately is true - as the Government of India must enact an Ordinance immediately for the acquisition of all lands and assets of Auroville and take over complete control of accounts and land management.
The growth of Auroville in the right direction is curtailed as Auroville Working Committee, TDC, Land Board, and FAMC work in tandem to protect land encroachers to fulfill their vested interests.
All Aurovilains must wake up to the facts, known and unknown and even though they may not have the will to raise their voice, knowledge is empowering.
