Corporate-controlled capitalism in India

By: Sircar, Neelanjan.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Seminar Description: 749, Jan, 2022: p.20-24.Subject(s): Corporate-controlled capitalism, Capitalism In: SeminarSummary: IN September 2020, three controversial farm acts passed by the Parliament gave way to one of the largest protest movements in recent history. But the protests were about much more than India’s agricultural policy – and they had significant resonance beyond the farmers of Haryana and Punjab that were most affected by the controversial farm bills.1 Rather, the larger critique made by the farmer protests coalesced around a criticism of bowing to ‘corporate interests’ supported by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In my view, the farmer protests had great impact and resonance, eventually causing the government to rescind the laws, due to popular anxieties about the changing face of business-politics relations in India. – Reproduced
