Glad to see this...

Has anyone investigated why land is sold to developers
(besides the economic advantage)? 

I know of at least one property in Goa that has gone
to the "tiller", whose son (original "tiller" died
some years ago) today has absolutely no interest in
tilling the land as the grandsons are in the Gulf or
on board ships remitting enough funds for their father
to live well, and worse still, no-one can re-let the
property to any other prospective tiller for obvious
reasons. 

My gut-feeling is then in such situations when the
"bhatkar" cannot re-let the land for productive
agricultural gain (nor till it himself, as it is
"preserved" for the "tiller"), he "converts" the land
to other purposes and sells it to the highest bidder. 
No wonder, then, when people who have lived all their
lives happily in a "humpti" are suddenly deprived of
their homes as the land has been sold by the ertswhile
"bhatkar" to a developer. Or is it the other way
round, when the "mundkar" has sold the property
illegally to the developer?  I ask because I do not
know.

Gabriel.
