Punjab Farmers' Struggles

The Punjab farmers' struggles stem from recent agricultural reforms enacted by the government, which they believe threaten their livelihoods. These laws reduce state control over purchasing crops, favor big corporations, and may lead to lower prices and debt for small farmers. Farmers fear losing income, land, and traditional practices, prompting widespread protests and demands to repeal or amend the laws. Their movement highlights concerns over economic security, food sovereignty, and the preservation of rural livelihoods in Punjab.
