Indian Farmers’ Protest: The Largest Protest In The World That’s Still Unfolding

The Indian farmers’ protests began late last summer and are still ongoing, even as coronavirus has worsened over the past month. Sylvia, Janrey and our reporter Sahil begin by explaining the legislation that has put about 50% of India’s population, small farmers, at risk while benefiting corporate interests. We explore some of India’s agricultural history—from British colonial rule to the Green Revolution—and the present day economic impacts. Finally, we discuss how the protests are connected to democracy, revolution and international solidarity.Our guest this week was Chairman Gurinder Singh Khalsa of SikhsPAC.Mentioned in this episode (and more):List of organizations and grassroots efforts fighting COVID in IndiaJakara Movement Letter in Support of BLMSikhsPAC on FacebookSupport Us on Ko-FiFollow Us On Twitter and InstagramAZI Media’s Code Of ConductSubscribe to our Mailing ListLearn More About AZI Media
