This article brings out some distinctive features of Indian law and society in the matters of property rights and entitlements over natural resources. Both the colonial and post-colonial states that introduced the modern law in stages had multiple motives. They determined the types of rights assigned and the complex political and bureaucratic processes necessary for their implementations. By using an evolutionary approach to trace these developments, this article helps in comprehension of the modern law and entitlements on natural resources in India. The analytical method is that of institutional studies and law and economics
