Farmers' Protests 2020-2021

The Farmers' Protests of 2020-2021 in India were a response to new agricultural laws passed by the government, aimed at privatizing the grain market. Many farmers believed these laws could reduce their income and leave them vulnerable to big corporations. They feared losing guaranteed minimum prices for their crops and demanded the laws be repealed. The protests, primarily in Delhi, involved large gatherings, rallies, and sit-ins, highlighting farmers’ concerns about their livelihoods and seeking to safeguard traditional farming practices. The movement garnered national and international attention, eventually leading to the government's decision to revoke the laws in 2021.
