Kisan movement
The Kisan Movement refers to a series of protests by Indian farmers, primarily against three agricultural reform laws enacted by the government in 2020. Farmers feared these laws would lead to deregulation, reducing their income and increasing corporate control over agriculture. The movement gained significant traction, with farmers mobilizing for better prices, rights, and protections. The protests highlighted longstanding issues in Indian agriculture, including debt and low income. Ultimately, the movement led to the repeal of the controversial laws in late 2021, showcasing the power of collective action in addressing farmers' concerns in India.
