Having spent some time researching and writing on common land in England and Wales (E&W), I was interested to learn of the further formation of national policies to protect common land in India. A first read must be the National Policy for Common Resource Lands (Common Lands) 2002. As far as I know this cover the whole of India,
However, I get the impression that the draft Rajasthan Common Land Policy 2010 will be more detailed in its purview of the scene in that State - so that will be another new tour for my eyes.
As an example of the detail - the article below mentions, it seems, the building of walls to protect from encroachment common land in Rajasthan. Although further details need to be sought it appears to contrast with the situation in E&W where such walls would ususally be prohibited.
