This article divides peasant movements in independant India into the three categories: (i) movements organised by the peasants against semi-feudal and neo-feudal exploitation and oppressions by poor peasants, sharecroppers, and landless agricultural labourers; (ii) movements led by rich peasants and farmers who own larger holdings and have also enriched themselves as a result of the Green Revolution; and (iii) agrarian movements that were mainly accelerated by the onset of economic liberalisation and globalisation in so far as these impacted the agricultural production, processing and marketing. - Reproduced.
