easy conclusions that land reforms have failed have been made and demands for a review or reversal of the reforms, especially regarding tenancy regulations and land ceiling norms, have become increasingly frequent and insistent. The latest and most controversial of such suggestions came in November 2007 from within the State bureaucracy itself when a senior government official in the Industries Department proposed the repeal of the Kerala Land Reform Act as a necessary measure if the State was to progress economically because, he argued, the Act had achieved its objectives in a remarkable manner and had outlived its utility. The proposal would not have been made without the knowledge of at least a section of the political leadership. In short, land reform, though implemented with the intention of transferring land to the tiller, did not really transfer land to agricultural laborers and poor peasants in Kerala. As many scholars have pointed out, the further redistribution that ought to have taken place for the complete success of the land reforms never happened. The old janmi system was replaced, but by landlordism of another type, under whose leadership the reform process was launched in 1957, once remarked the landlordism of tenants who had no direct dependence on land for their livelihood and who got their land cultivated through wage labor. _________________ neck pain
