Sikh farmers

Sikh farmers primarily come from the Punjab region of India and are known for their significant contributions to agriculture, especially in the production of wheat and rice. Farming is a central aspect of Sikh culture, often intertwined with community life and spirituality. Sikh farmers have played a crucial role in India's Green Revolution, which increased food production. However, they have faced challenges, including land disputes and government policies. Recently, large-scale protests in 2020-2021 against agricultural reforms highlighted their concerns over livelihoods and rights, drawing national and international attention to their struggle.
