Indian Farmers' Movement (BKU)

The Indian Farmers' Movement, led by groups like the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), is a protest by farmers advocating for their rights and fair agricultural policies. It primarily emerged in response to new farming laws introduced by the government, which farmers believed threatened their livelihoods by reducing support prices and increasing corporate influence. The movement involves large-scale demonstrations, protests, and negotiations, aiming to secure better prices, tenure security, and safeguards against exploitation. It reflects farmers’ collective effort to voice their concerns and seek policy reforms to ensure sustainable and fair farming practices in India.
