Protests against Farm Laws

The protests against farm laws in India began in 2020 when farmers expressed concern over three laws aimed at reforming agricultural markets. Farmers feared these laws would weaken government support prices and make them vulnerable to large corporations. They worried that deregulating markets could lead to exploitation and increased financial insecurity. Protests, notably at the Delhi borders, involved thousands of farmers, who demanded the repeal of the laws. The movement garnered widespread support, highlighting issues of food security, farmers' rights, and agricultural policies, leading to significant national attention and discussions about the future of farming in India.
