I have picked, as peg to hang this plannerly talk, the Delhi High Court judgement of end-November 2002 striking down Delhi's slum policy and permitting eviction without resettlement. I have done so for three reasons other than topicality. One, I think evictions interest all those who are interested, one way or another, in the slum issue. Two, city politics before and after the judgement shows how the slum discourse is stuck in what I call the 'endowment paradigm'. Three, some concurrent matters raising the issue of citizens' entitlements provide a different perspective, which I believe merits urgent attention.
