Farmers' Protest 2020–2021

The Farmers' Protest of 2020–2021 in India was a movement by farmers demanding the repeal of three new agriculture laws they believed would favor corporations over their interests. The farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, feared these laws would reduce government protections, leading to lower prices and income insecurity. They organized large protests, including marches and sit-ins, demanding the government reconsider. After nearly a year of demonstrations and negotiations, the government eventually repealed the laws in late 2021, marking a significant victory for the protesting farmers. The movement highlighted issues of agricultural policy, economic security, and farmers' rights.
