Farmer's Protest

The Farmer's Protest in India, primarily beginning in 2020, involved thousands of farmers demanding the repeal of three new agricultural laws they believed would reduce their income and leave them vulnerable to corporate control. They argued the laws favored big companies over traditional farmers, threatening their livelihoods and food security. The protests included peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins, and marches, especially around Delhi. After extensive negotiations and international attention, the government eventually repealed the laws in late 2021. The movement highlighted farmers' concerns about economic security, government policies, and their role in the country's food system.
