    Farmers' Protest in India

    Uploaded by

    kerry
    Ongoing conflict between farmers in India and the national government over recent farm bills passed by Parliament in September 2020 that deregulated the agricultural industry. The bills were introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party without consensus from farmers. Protesting farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, believe the laws will eliminate guaranteed pricing and leave them vulnerable to exploitation by large corporations. The largest organized strike in history involved around 250 million farmers in November 2020. The protests have gained international attention as a major human rights issue involving over 60% of India's population who rely on agriculture.
