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.
