Indian Farmers' Movement

The Indian Farmers' Movement refers to protests by farmers, particularly since 2020, against new agricultural laws introduced by the government. Many farmers believed these laws threatened their livelihoods by favoring corporations and reducing government support. The movement involved large-scale demonstrations, mainly in northern India, with farmers demanding the repeal of these laws. It highlighted concerns over economic security, market access, and the need for fair regulations. The movement gained widespread attention for its scale and persistence, ultimately leading to the government's decision to revoke the laws in 2021, emphasizing farmers' protest as a significant civil-society action in India.
