Indian Farmers' Protest

The Indian Farmers' Protest was a large-scale movement that began in 2020, with farmers primarily from Punjab and Haryana opposing three farm laws introduced by the Indian government. They believed these laws would weaken their bargaining power and lead to the commercialization of agriculture, threatening their livelihoods. Protests included massive rallies, sit-ins, and road blockades, particularly at the borders of Delhi. The farmers sought the repeal of these laws, fearing they would harm their economic stability. After prolonged protests and negotiations, the government announced the repeal of the laws in late 2021, marking a significant victory for the farmers.
