Before delving into the glitzy world of tech, startups, and buzzwordy jargon in the second part of our series, it is essential to understand the historical foundations of property ownership in India. From ancient communal systems to the advent of private property during British rule, our article outlines the various stages of property evolution.
We explore the three fundamental types of property arrangements - common, collective, and private property - and delve into their significance within the Indian socio-economic context.
Tracing back to ancient India, we uncover how property ownership was deeply embedded in the social fabric. Land was considered a precious asset, symbolizing prestige and power for the ruling classes.

Post-independence, India experienced a transformative shift in property ownership through legislative changes and social reforms. The emergence of a burgeoning middle class and economic liberalization further revolutionized the real estate industry.
Finally, we delve into the fundamental use cases of property and land - providing shelter, wealth accumulation, economic development, and cultural expression.
