The current farmers’ protest in Punjab holds significant importance in India’s socio-political landscape, particularly concerning agricultural policies and the welfare of farmers. This protest differs from previous ones in several ways, reflecting evolving demands, leadership dynamics, tactics, and negotiation processes. The central demand of the protest is a law guaranteeing minimum support prices (MSP) for crops, reflecting a broader concern about the agricultural sector’s vulnerability to market fluctuations. The composition and organization of farmers’ unions have evolved, with various factions within the movement leading to a diversity of perspectives and strategies. There has been a transformation in leadership dynamics, with new faces emerging at the forefront of the current protest. Furthermore, there has been a notable shift in the strategy employed by both protesters and the government, with the government implementing preemptive measures to prevent farmers from entering Delhi. The negotiation process between the government and farmers has also differed from previous protests, with agreements reached on certain issues but key demands like the MSP law remaining unresolved. These differences highlight the complexities and challenges involved in addressing agricultural issues and farmer welfare. Overall, the current farmers’ protest in Punjab represents a significant shift from previous demonstrations, with implications for the future of agricultural policies and the well-being of farmers in India.
