The Indian Farmer Protests

from Eurasia Center Wonkcast · host Casey Chambers

Rishi Parikh, a Eurasia Center research assistant, joins Casey and Nick to discuss the recent farmer protests in India. Narendra Modi's BJP party has tried to pass liberalization laws to remove government run produce auctions with set price floors. The government says it will reduce middlemen and corruption while increasing farmer's incomes. The protesters fear being crushed by the free market. Regardless of who is right, the authoritarian responses to the protests are highly concerning.
